We had quite a mart lute Wed
nesday. The thought came that a
couple of months of spring had dis

The town, and tlx- Elks Lodr.c
In particular, had all appearances
that the cow-brutrs were back
from the winter ranue at Red Vi.
Appeamices were deceiving. It was
Jur.t that a few Rod Bluff bucka
roos were Invading to advertise
the Red Bluff Roundup.
Light began to dawn when the
chunky buckaroo who was taking
the pictures said something about
"news." Closer inspection thoweci a
trace of printers ink under his
finger nails, and we finally recog
nised Marlon Walker, publisher of
the Red Bluff Now, despite the
big hat and high-heeled boots. .
All we learned Horn him was
that the Roundun will be April 19
and 30. thai the Red Bluff Bull

as hard for the office as he did for

i Any hallucinations as to the cat
tle coming back to range would
have been dispelled in a subsequent
conversation with Emmett Sise

fleck or two of sno-y in the Fort

NEW YORK I There's been
revolution in America in the mat
ter of spring housecleaning.
It is a man-size Job today. More
and more the little woman is taking
a standby role while a new broom
holder the lord and master oi the
house sweeps clean.
I know that 10.000,000 housewiv-.s
across the land will at once chorus
a dubious, "oh, yeah? since when?"
So let them eavesdrop, as I did,
on the following conversation at a
recent hen party:
"I Just hate this time of year."
said the first wife, reaching; for a
chicken salad sandwich. "My hus
band, Joe, simply goes crazy. He
wants to do our apartment over
from top to bottom. He keeps the
vacuum cleaner going from morn
ing to night.
"My Henry is the same way,"
agreed Uie second wife. "As soon
as he hears the first robin he just
goes out of his mind. He starts
pulling down the draperies, rolling
up the rugs and waxing the floors.
The place Is a perfect mess."
"My Jim must be a little back
ward." sighed the third wife. "He
hasn't even learned how to coot."
"He's Just a bridegroom you

that happened, in the Buck Lake
country. )
This matter of down fences
brings up an unanswered Question.
How mi-ny miles of lence are there
in the Basin? Now there's a good
one to ponder over.
We asked Cuarhe Henderson and
the county agents oitlce generally,
end confidentirlly expect them to
come un with the answer soon, but
u s still unanswered except for a
quick rucss flom ot:r farm editor.
itnc tpiey says mere are uw
miles of fence in the Basin, i Don't
believe he's been off the beaten
path enough to rea'ire how
much fence there Is strung over
the landscape.!
How many miles did you say?
Mac's aunt, Mrs. VIelen Hoffman,
was in the other dav fchecking uo
on her nevvy no doubt I and sug
gested that it would be a good idea
to say a word about the Delta
Kanpa Gamma convention.
She had to say the word because
it. was all Greek to us. Mrs. Hoff
man teaches languages at KUHS.
but not Greek.
Delta Kapna Gamma, in plain
English, ft the national honor so
ciety of women teachers. Tne state
convention of Delta Karjno Gamma
convenes in Klamath Falls, start
ing with a meeting this evening.
There's iust one word we can add
o Mrs. Hoffman's explanation and
that says everything.
Next to the mot'.ier and father,
there is ro nerson cn earth who
has more influence on the devel
opment of a boy or girl than the
tepcher.
We think they're a nrrtty wonder
ful lot. We hope that the Delta
Kappa Gamma gals in tbeir delib
erations keen foremost in mind the
good old American traditions, with
recent, on the three R s and that
thev have a fine convention.
don't know how lucky you are,"
said the first wife.
"Yes," remarked the second
wife morosely, sipping her martini.
,'Wait until you've had him around
a little longer. You'll find him
harder to live with afier he starts
taking an interest in the house."
"Well. I did get my Jim to help
me wash the windows once." said
the third wife. "But he was so awk
ward he broke a pane and cut his
wrist, and the doctor charged $25
10 sew mm up.
"Sometimes I wish my Joe would
fall out the window this time oi
year he causes such an uproar,"
observed the first wife..
"Sometimes I think I will push
my Harry right out the window
myself." grimly spoke the second
wife, digging deeper into her mar
tini.
"I don't know what goes into
him every April. I tell him the I
house is perfectly all right as it
is, but he says, 'I don't want my
friends to see it in this condition.
I have some pride even if you
don't ' And the next thing I know
he is stirring up the dust and slap
ping paint over everything. The
very nerve;"
"How do you explain your hus
bands wanting to do the spring
cleaning?" asked the third wife,
still a bit envious.
'I blame it all on their moth-
ers." said the first wife, as she:
oe?an enveloping a ham sandwich.
"When thev were kids their moth- I
ers made them tk'e the rug out And
beat it every spring. And now if
you don't tic a dust cloth around
your head when the lilac blooms
just like mother uted to do thev
think you are shiiking your job."
"You're absolutely right, dear."
chimed in the second wife. "I teil
my Henry that nowadays you keen
your house clean all year around,
and that It is old-fashioned to tear
it apart every soring and fall. But
he simply won't listen."
"What this country needs." said
Ihe first wife, summing it all uu.
"is a good restful hotel where wives
can go and stay until their hus
bands get through their spring
housecleaning mpdne's."
How about that ladies? Is your
husband getting a rcrtless look in
his eyes? If he is, better hide that
vacuum cleaner or you won't
know any peace until he wears
himrelf out and the dust settles
again.
The big problem for a wife '.oday
Is cleaning up after a houseclean
ing husband.

WASHINGTON .1 The old
Tinker to Evcrs - to Chance
routine was like a .soft-ball game
compared with the Morns - to
McGratli to Truman double
play.
Ncwbold Morris and J. Howard
McGratli the President's two top
investigators whose own conduct
has been Investigated by Congress
havn't much in common except
years in politics and an ability to
get into jams.
Although Attorney General Mc
Graths Justice Department ordi
narily would be the chief investi
gator of government corruption,
the Truman Administration seemed
to think it necessary to bring in
an outsider.
After several better - known
men had turned down the job Mc
Grath suggested Morris and Presi
dent Truman appointed him special
assistant to McGratli. At once Mor.
ris announced he'd start off investi
gating McGrath s department.
This in Itself was Interesting
but not any more so than Morris'
performance when he went before
a Senate committee which wanted
to quusz him about his law firm's
connection with a ship deal.
While Morris is n Kn vnb -i..
boy of 50 Who haltH ti-a.ll in .1.1
political league 'here, he got off to
n counirv bov's suit hi.m,. .r...
landing here where the political
sluggers use lead pipes.
Morris insulted the Senators,

cau?e anyone could have told him
.Mini uny inrunmu done at a
Senate hearing it's usually done by
the senators.
.You could almoi! hear them
count to 10 to keen their tempers.
What they said about him some
thing about ever - emotional was
mild compared with what they
did to him. Thev refused In Ipi him
have the subpoena power President
Truman asked for him.
This was the same as tellimr a
man to bunt to the outfield, for his
investigation could never be more
than half an investigation if he
Ucked the power to compel wit
nesses to testify.
Still, he tried to ooerate. He
called n bie news conference and
If nnounced he was sending a lon
Questionnaire to MoGrath and the
key men in the Justice Depart
ment, demanding intimate Infor
mation about their financial
affairs.
This week McGrath went before
a House Judiciary Subcommittee,
which was eager to check on the
Justice Department itself and
wanted a look at McGrath's in
come tax returns.
While MoGrath anj the congress
men hatted the ball around he said

Porcupines Damage Huge
Areas Of Timber In Basin
Despite Curbing Attempts
By MAC Kri.f'Y JR.
Human beings hnvc upset the del

scales are leaning ralher heivlly
to one side regarding the pr only
'Kitlmtinti rif nnriMininps.
Foresters have undertaken a pro
gram to control the porcupine pop
ulation, mostly because porkles are
causing damage in some areas sec
ond only to forest fires.
A member of the rodent family,
the porcupine grows to a size tang
ing between 13 and 35 pounds. It
produces but one young, per sea
son, though managing to maintain
a heavy population despite niebs
urcs taken by farmers, foresters
and the public.
Mr Porcupine doesn't hlbernute
in the winter like many rodents,
but can be spotted lust about any
time of the year. Favorite winter
hiding place is the rest or "lioiI"
tree, usually a tree with "witches
broom" branches and clumpy fo
liage. Foresters note hotel trres are
usually easy to locate berau.e of
the droppings beneath them.
It's in thoe trees where polton
caches are planted. Klamath Dist

of the rodents necessitates 40 times
the poison usually strychnine
than is necessary at other limes
of the year. Cooiier says that is
because the porky has been liv
ing off the tree barks and the tannic
acid content apparently tones down
the poison's effect.
The quilled animals are strut
vegetarians theoretically. Diiri'.n
Ihe warmer months they live nil

But sometimes the porcupine diet
strays from the written book . . ,
On Lookout Butte porkirs con
sumed most o( the tires olf two
cars parked there Ihe past tvo
summers. Near Lake of the Wioris
they chewed a hole In the cornt-r
of a forett cabin, then proceeded
to delightedly feHst on the linoleum-covered
floor. About 90 per
cent of the covering was eaten,
and tooth marks were left in the
wood floor In tome spots so deep
that they were flniost completely

The exact count on porkies Isn't
possible, but local foresters report
there are far loo many. In the
Butte Falls Ranger District lut.
over the brink of the Cascades,
the kill Is up over the 1000 mark.
In that area there are some spins

the trees have been girdled by

year lifetime, can destroy S700U

As fnr as Is known here, thee
are no states In the Union which
protect the porcupine. Somehow the
word is out that they are protect

wilderness.
Some guys who know figure tli,-v
