Rate Plea Is Well Put
DISCRIMINATION HURTS RAILROADS
Thrifty Nation 's Bulwark
Case For Railroads
Made in Petition
A good case for the railroads them
srlvre in behalf of a rate reduction on
potatoes between Klamath Falls and
California points is made in the pe
tition for reduced rates addressed by
the Klamath Potato Growers associa
tion to freight traffic managers of the
four railroads affected.
The petitioners point out that,
through an I. C. C. decision reducing
the rates on Idaho potatoes, the ad
vantages enjoyed by the Klamath Grow
ers through their proximity to the Cali
fornia markets are largely taken away.
An authentic survey has shown the
cost of production for Idaho potatoes
is 85 cents per cwt, and in Klamath
county, $1.08. From this it is evident
that proximity to market has made .
production of Klamath potatoes profit
able in spite of the higher cost in
volved. It is apparent, the petition
states, "that unless the Klamath grow
ers are given the benefit of the shorter
distance to market, the higher cost of
production will make it prohibitive for
continuance of the industry."
Another point made by the growers
fe that truck transportation of Klamath
potatoes is rapidly increasing. In 1928,
100 carloads of potatoes were shipped
from the Klamath basin by truck. This
amount increased to 150 ears in 1929,
200 in 1930, and it is estimated that
at least 250 cars, and perhaps 300, will
be shipped out by truck in the 1931
season. At first shipments by truck
were merely to northern California
points, but the truck operators, com
peting with the higher rates charged
by the railroads, have now established
a regular business as far south as Sac
ramento and even beyond that point
Thus, the railroads are presented
with two possibilities in maintaining
the present situation. The steady de
cline, and final ruination of the Klam
ath potato industry, as hinted by the
petition, would remove one of the main
sources of tonnage for railroads in the
Klamath basin. What they might gain
in increased longer hauls from distant,
but lower-rate points, could hardly off
set the loss from the death of such a
potentially great industry as that of
Klamath potato growing.
The other possibility is the loss of
business, should the industry refuse to
be downed through the high, railroad
rates, to ever increasing truck compe
tition. The railroads have had ample
experience with that sort of thing.
The Klamath growers have done a
good job of showing the railroads that,
for their own sake, the petition should
be granted.
JERRY
CHAPTER XXXV
It had been tun for everyone
except Joan eating lunch In the
wide stretch of aand with the ton
shining down on them and the
bine lake dancing behind them.
There had been momenta when
Joan had thought ahe would like
to lire. She would like to Hve II
Jerry could be there beside her.
Lake and sky and aand were
nothing when Jerry waa not hera
any longer. Dick had tried so
hard to be gay, because he knew.
ETeryone knew. That was the
hard part about It all.
Then the un went down be
hind the giant bills ot sand, and
Joan thought, "That la the last
time I will ever see the aun."
It waa not hard to think things
like that now. It used to hurt
terribly to know that she would
not live to see sunsets sliding
down behind horlton, and snow
hanging like white atatin upon
the treea in Lincoln Park. But
the feeling was gone now. She
felt peaceful, rested. She wond
ered if Violet had felt that way
just before ahe had turned on the
gas In her aad little apartment. .
They were talking. Words. Why
did people talk? Talking didn't
mean anything. Lit didn't mean
anything. "There has to be some
thing swell in heaven, or I don't
want to go there." Violet. "I
want to go to aleep and never
wake up." Violet again. "Don't
ever die, Joan. If yon die I ahall
die also." Jerry. "No, you won't,
Jerry darling. Ton won't die.
You won't die. You'll die. You'll
live for Claire. You want ber.
You'll be free to go to her aoon.
Just as soon as Dick and the reat
of them decide they are ready to
go home. Funny that their de
cision means the end of my life."
Mustn't think. Blank. Don't
think about newspapers. Don't
think about Father. "You were
too honorable, Jerry, to desert
me. You wouldn't leare me for
Claire aa long as you had promis
ed the preacher that you would
lire with me. You don't lore
Claire. You lore me." Silly. All
wires think that their husbands
lore them. You never told me
you loved me. Why didn't you
ever say, "Joan, I love you?"
But you said other things. You
aald you did not care to live If
II weren't for me. That means
you love me. But men aay things
they don't mean. Thpy mean Ihem
at tbe time, but time passes and
they say other things that are
- tfwd - JOAN
different. They can't help It.
though. Violet said they couldn't
help It. Things happen to them
to make them change. Women
come into their Uvea, charming
women. Women that they have
loved before, perhaps. You can't
forget people that yon have loved,
no matter how long ago you may
have loved them. Violet said ao.
Violet waa brave.
They were leaving now. Now
she bad to say:
"Run on, Dick. Yon go and
put the things In the car and
I'll come along by myself."
"You didn't have a good time,
Jo."
"Yea, I did. I had a marvelous
time."
"You're not happy."
"Yea, I am happy."
- "Please leave Jerry, Jo."
Dick's hands were hot on her
shoulders. Burning through her
shirtwaist.
"I'm going to leave him, Dick.
Oh, I'm going to leave him. I'm
going to leave him to anybody
and everybody on earth. I'm go
ing to aet him free. It'a the only
decent thing left for me to do."
The words were pounding In
her brain because she was think
ing them, not saying them.
She aaid:
"Perhaps I shall some day."
Dick must go now. Leave.
Quickly. It all had to be done
quickly.
"Why won't you come?"
"I want to think a minute. I
want to be alone . . . Oh, Dick,
don't talk to me any longer. Just
go. I ahall scream If you don't
go." Picking up the pillows from
the sand now. Tucking them un
der his arm. The rest were stand
ing over by the ear. Someone was
calling, "Hurry up."
Dick was leaving now. ' There
waa no sound except the lulling
swish of the waves against the
shore. Oood-by, Jerry darling. It
waa wonderful to have you to
love. I am burning up all over.
The water will be cool. Dick la at
the car now. Run. Quickly. Hard
to run in water. It pulls you back.
Hurry and get where It Is deep.
Hurry. Hurry. I am. The water
la cool. My body Is burning. Dun't
swim. Remembe., don't swim.
Hard not to ewlm. Nothing un
der my feet now. My ears are
thumping. They are filled with
water. Dick Is running toward
me. Hurry, Joan, and die. Hurry.
Don't let Dirk save me, God. It's
easy to die. I want to die. I am
dying without a heart. My heart
Judicious Spending
Part of Program
This is thrift week. To be sure, it
is late in thrift week, and by the rules
that govern such things, we suppose
this discussion should have appeared
somewhat earlier in this period dedi
cated particularly to the memory of
that early apostle of thrift, Benjamin
Franklin. Still, with the merchants fill
ing the advertising columns of The
News and Herald with week-end bar
gains, we aren't so sure but what this
is the very day to speak our piece
about thrift.
For that, as it happens, is exactly
what people are practicing when they
respond to the advantageous price of
ferings of this new economic period.
Thrift does not mean hoarding. It
should be given a broader interpreta
tion. It means judicious spending, and
never has there been a better time for
judicious spending than the present.
Thrift, of course, means more than
that. It means some kind of a definite
plan about personal finances that,
perhaps, is most important of all. It
means a certain amount of saving along
with wise spending. It means sound in
vestment. It means the keeping of
money at work by wise depositing, not
foolish hoarding. It means, to the fam
ily permanently located, the ownership
of a home. . It means the payment of
one's bills and the maintenance of one's
credit
The thrifty are the bulwark of the
nation. For it can be truly said that
those who look after their own finances
are looking after the finances of the
nation.
Nevada Gets More
From Divorce'Seekers
If you want a divorce, it is nice to
be classed as a permanent resident of
Nevada. But if you want to own an
automobile license, it's nicer to be rec
ognized as a citizen of California.
Hence, an interesting situation has
developed at Reno, where erstwhile
Californians crowd in large numbers
to win freedom from matrimonial bonds.
Nevada authorities have adopted a pol
icy of refusing to issue visitor's permits
to the divorce seekers, because techni
cally they are not visitors, but perma
nent residents. They have declared
themselves such to qualify for divorce
action.
California has $3 license plates. Ne
vada charges considerably more, and
Nevada authorities are out to see that
all the "permanent residents" buy Ne
vada plates.
That's tough on divorce-seekers. But
oh-hum, the divorce is probably
worth it

died long ago. The night my little
French clock fell off the dresser.
Don't let Dick reach me. He
won't He's too far away. Oood
by, Jerry. It'a sweet to die while
I still have you."
e
Jerry awakened at exactly four
o'clock Chicago daylight-saving
time on Sunday afternoon follow
ing the party for the prets agent
in the Morrison Hotel. His head
waa heavy. He had neglected
somehow to remove the clothing
end he looked exactly as any per
son would look who had slept In
his clothes for the last twenty
four hours. He hitched himself
np on his elbow and looked
around. There wasn't a soul In
the room except himself. There
were twin beds that had not been
slept In and here he was on the
floor. He wondered how that had
happened. Oh, well.
His eyes fell on the top of a
highboy directly in front of the
beds. Oh, sweet misery ot life!
He emitted a low groan. The sight
of the empty liquor bottles waa
too much for him. He stretched
his legs out and II' ted himself
wearily from the floor. Oh, Mister
Piper, bow you make ns pay! He
went Into the bathroom, avoiding
any further look at the highboy,
and gated at himself In the glasa.
He was surprised. It had never
occurred to him before how ter
rible be really looked. He pulled
back a limp, soiled cuff and
glanced at his wrist watch. Four
o'clock. It must be Sunday after
noon. No use talking. This would
be the last one. He couldn't do it.
Look at those eyes. Circles aa
black as night His face was
drawn and wrinkled. Needed
shave badly. There may have been
times when he had looked worse,
Jerry told himself, but he could-
n t remember when.
Wonder If he had called Joan
last night. No. Oh, she wasn't
going to be there anyway. Prob
ably waa home now. Oh, Gosh.
He was going to have to cut this
sort of thing out. Right now.
Joan was too good about it. He
wished she would scold him a
little. Maybe he would do better
if ahe would only say something
once In a while. Hut she never
did. Didn't care, he guessed. Oh(
of course, she cared, but she
didn't miss him. Just the same he
was going to take It a little easier
for a while.
He opened up the medicine cab
inet and found a rnznr. Ills
clothes were terrible. He couldn't
go home this way. He took a
shower and then went on over to
the office. He had freeh suit uf
.-lothea In the locker. He went
into the dre.slng room and put
them on and then went on up
stairs to look In hie mall box.
There wasn't anyone around.
Things were terribly quiet.
He walked over lo his desk and
a sheet of yellow paper caught his
eye. Hud had written him a note.
He read the first part. "t!o home.
Joan dying." There was more but
he dldn t wait to read II.
The elevator would never come.
He atarted down (he stairs and
then derided that he would try
to catch the elevator on (be
tenth floor. Waited again and
then ran down another flight. The
light flashed red above (he ele
vator on the ninth floor and he
ran over and got Into the ele
vator. The operator spoke to
him. Jerry said, "Hurry, Jim,
my God, hurry."
Jim waa used to things Ilk
this.
'On a hot story, Corbett?"
Jerry nodded.
Elevator atopplng. On the
atreet now. A cab. Jerry's voice
sounded hoarse when he told the
driver the address.
"Hurry, for Ood's sake." He
didn't think he could say It but
he did. "My wife is dying."
He leaned bark in the cab. The
driver swung the car around and
dived Into the traffic. Crasy
words. Ilea. Joan wasn't dying.
why would Bud ever leave blm a,
note like that? How could she
be dying? She wasn't skk. lie
had left her Saturday morning.
She was well enough then. Joan
dying? Wild. Insane. Idiotic. Joan
couldn't die.
Red lights. Alwaya red lights
to Impede the progress ot (he
cab. Couldn't the lights stay
green this once for him? "O Cod.
make the light atay green. 1
want to get home. I want to aee
what this la all about Joan Isn't
dying. Why didn't I stay home
Saturday? Joan, wonderful Joan.
If ahe dies I'll die. I won't live
it Joan dies."
Joan. Golden lounging pajamas
against the pale green ot the
davenport The night he spilled
chicken a la king all over the
floor and ahe laughted and loved
him for it Loved him for It
Loved him for anything. Claire.
The night in the kitchen. Joan
forgave him for It. swore ne
would never see that damned
Claire again. Parties, reporters,
preaa agents, actresses, white vel
vet wraps, soft lights. Joan again
above everything. Oh. hell! I've
treated her ao badly. The damned
cab. Creeping. Knocking on the
glass.
"Horry, driver. Faster."

Memory la ao valuable an at
tribute to success thst authorities
In conditions of the mind have
given It most careful considera
tion and atudy. Memory Is de
veloped early In life.
If the portions ot the brain In
volved In memory are Injured by
disease or physical damage, or If
they are affected by the changes
that come on with old age, mem
ory beglna to weaken. The
changes associated with old age
Involve, In some eases, hardening
of the arteries and a diminishing
circulation of blood to the parti
of the brain that take care ot
memory.
There are many people who
only apparently are unable to re
member well. This, however, la
tbe result of abeentmlndedneaa
and preoccupation, and of the
failure to give adequate atten
tion rather than any disorder of
the memory. There are, moreover
many people who have a special
faculty for remembering, highly
developed through training, and
who are thereby more successful
In occupations In which memory
la an important attribute.
Doctor Sanger Brown points
out that persona past middle age
wbo do not remember aa well as
formerly need have no fear that
the condition la progreaslve. It la
merely a part of the general de
cline In mental vigor and keen
ness of attention which occurs in
advancing years.
Elderly persons frequently re
peat tbe same story, appear to
exaggerate facta and, in other
ways, ahow losses of memory for
which they are In no way re
sponsible. It la important that
this lack of responsibility should
be recognised by those who pass
In Judgment on the acts ot tbe
elderly.
The type of loss of memory
that la most serious Is that which
occurs suddenly and is accom
panied by confusion. Such loss
of memory may be rapidly pro
gressive and associated with the
beginning of mental disease.
Hardening of the arteries of the
brain, the exceaslve nse of al
cohol and chronic Inflammation
of the brain tissue may bring
about changes which have serious
effects on the ability to remem
ber.
People who are disturbed
should be Informed that there Is
no reason to believe that gradual
failure of memory Indicates the
beginning of Insanity. Such peo
ple need only good advice In men
tal hygiene.

Tips
Rumor baa K that the platinum
blonde Is out and the little br
nette la about to have her Inning.
If your balr took lo platinum
and stays looking grand, you need
not think every platinum blonde
la going to go brunette over night
and leave you holding tbe sack.
They are too appealing, by and
large, lo drop tbe fad right away.
Take your time, particularly It
you are enjoying the platinum
blonde vogue.
Hut. if yon notice that your
hair baa begun to break all Ita
ends. If It files away and won't
stay put. begin taking cars ot
your hair.
HniKliIng Is Heat Aid
You'll find tbst a few routine
rounds of the good old hair brush
will discipline your hair quite as
well aa It e'ver did a naughty
child.
The obvloua time to brush your
hair Is night time, when retiring.
But If you are tired, try brushing
your hair np from the back of
your nerk. Stroke carefully and
firmly. You might Just know that
anything that felt that refresh
ing must be doing wonders to
your hair.
One disadvantage In the amart
new coiffures Is tbst women get
their balr trained Into Just the
right wave and hate to give It
single brush for fear they will dis
arrange the whole thing. There
Is something to It, of course. But,
If you overcome the difficulties of
arrangement by learning how to
do It easily, then you will find
that the more you brush your hair
hair and the softer and more lus
trous' It 'gets, the easier It falls
Into place.
If you Just won't brush your
hair, and If it seems dry and fly
sway, you really should use a
good tonic on a bit of cotton every
night. When you have It all ar
ranged, smooth It over with a lit
tle brilllantlne rubbed on both of
your hands and applied with a
quick, dextroua brushing over.
