THERE'S a ' little tale thought provoklni In the news this Binrnlllf . The Oregon Poultry Council wants a price floor of DO per cent of parity for the IB4 turkey crop. In dcleiis of Ita poalUou, It asserts that turkey prices should be pro tected at Ui asms level as grain prices. Well, turkeys est grain. If the price of grain Is hull, the cost of raising and fattening Ui turkeys will be huh. That follows as night follows day. You Just can't get around It. I era go on wllh U story. You work for wages aay II.M an hour. You eat turkey to keep up your vim and vlgur. If a law Is passed to raise the price of turkeys, YOU WANT A LAW THAT W1U. RA1MK THE THICK OF YOUR WAOKa. If you get Ui law Ui raise your wages, your boss will want a law to ral Ui prlr of what he makea or sells. If h gels the law to raise the price of what h makea or sel't It will upset Ui appl cart of everybody who BUYS what he nukes or sells. And so on sd Infinitum.

This morning, the historic Gerber ranch house south of Bly was leveled by flames, while yesterday fire snuffed the center from the business district of tha southern Lake county town of New Pine Creek. Sleeper lightning fires wera causing trouble in the forest areas, and a heavy movement of visitors to the open country over the week-end was expected to creota mounting hazards. The Gerber ranch fire, located about 12 miles south of Bly on tha ranch owned by Henry Gerber, was reported jutf after 8 o'clock this morning by half dozen lookouts on th Klamath Forest Protective association and the Fremont for est. These reports pin-pointed the blaze immediately at th Gerber ranch, and mountain top observers said the flames were so high it was immediately certain a building was ablaxo. The Bly ranger station dispatched a crew to the fire im mediately ond the men found the big ranch house ablaze throughout. The fire-fighters managed to sove the barn and equipment, and a house containing a propane tank, but could do nothing to save the house and closer buildings, including a chickenheuse. Two buc karoos. Spike Wright and a a man named Cada, had spent the mght at the ranchhouse. They aaid ' the flames broke out In the kitchen. and It la believed they came from gaa refrigerator or water heater.
