I quote the story: "Aspgrove, Dec. 24 Mrs. Stock well, wife of Barn Boss stockwell of the Modoc Lumber company was bitten by a rabid coyote Sat urday, the injury being serious enough to cause Stockweil to take her to Klamath Falls for treatment of the wound. , "Stockwell was feeding the com pany's horses and Mrs. Stockwell, who was inside the barn, hearing a commotion rushed out -and saw her husband fiRhting the coyote and she went to help and was bitten on the leg. . "Several dogs that mixed in the fray were bitten and these will be killed. Stockwell finally succeeded luauen undtr me coal pile at ine Midland SP depot, found and de stroyed a dugout in Barnes Valley where a moonshiner had been working, and turned down as out of his jurisdiction a request from the Malin district, but over the line in California, to come down and lower the boom on a "craty" man.

An unavoidable auto WTeck sent John Amos to the hospital with a frac tured skull and a nose broken in two placed and Roy Oienger had his hand cut. Others in the party included A. C. Oienger.

''h ACC ' CAUSHT in The ROU N DS WASHINGTON W One of the never-ending wonders of Washing ton is the amount of virtue claimed by both sides in a controversy. The most recent example is the dispute over postmasters. Under the present system post masters of the first, second and third class are chosen by the Presi dent, provided the Senate ap proves. The Senate can kill his appointments. President Truman asked Congress to change this. He suggested that all postmas ters be put under civil service in such a way that the President and the Senate would have nothing to say about appointments at all. He said the postmaster general, a member of bis cabinet should make them. The Senate rose in its wrath fourth class postmasters). The highest paid are the first class men. The four highest among them are In New York. Chicago. Philadelphia and Washington where the postmasters get 113.770 a year. The lowcst-Dald are the fourth class postmasters who re ceive between $326 and $9,611 a year. Baker Strike Settlec By The Aiwlalrd Press Portland's AKL bakers voted to end their 48-duv strike, Thursday leaving Seattle alone in the Pacific Northwest without a regular supply of bread and other baked goods. Portland bakers approved a con tract providing a 5 weekly wage : "i csllv conluro up' the troubles increase an emplover-pald health an",,cr They are absorbed In ' Soon the Korean war will be two years old. Since the truce talks began about two weeks alter the first anniversary, It Is fair to sav the accund year has largely added up to stalemate. Yet there Is Komcthtug terribly cruel in such a view ol this strangest of all wars. It seems to Imply that nothing Is happening. that no blood la being shed. Still we all know this la not so. that cautualtv lists continue to be Is sued, that the lutai oi men muni or wounded rises weekly by blocks ol a hundred or more. If you atop and think a moment. you realize that his war is no stalemate to the families of men whose names appear on those lists. It is bitter combat, with the full horror that surrounds any other war we have ever fuughl. Uquallly ol micrmco is rcauy im possible of attainment In war.

Williams said Thursday he has accepted a position as head foot ball and baseball coach at North Powder, Ore., High School. ( THE NEW AITtVMm loes MORE Things though 93 per cent of all govern ment workers are under civil serv ice, "destroy the Democratic pro cess that keeps the government close to the people." This was really putting sena torial power and political patron age on a high plane. Senators favoring the plan went up to a pretty high plane, too. Thev said the plan would be the biggest ad vance In civil service reform in 70 years. Sen. Eastland. Mississippi Demo crat, may have come closer to the reality when he said that even if the Senate approved "postmasters still will be politically selected... The only result will be to deprive the Senate of passing on them." There's no law saying the post masters can't consult with local politicians and with congressmen and senators on a candidate lor postmaster. He could still do it. even if the Senate voted to cut itself and the President out of the picking. The postmaster general alone now picks postmasters of the fourth class without the President or the Senate as a whole getting in on the act. So if the Senate ap Droved the President's plan, the postmaster general could do with the first, second and third class postmasters what he's free to do with the fourth now. For that matter, all four classes of postmaster come under civil service now. The classification of each postmaster depends on the amount of money taken in by his office. An office is in the first class when it takes in at least $40,000 a year (there are 2.845 first class postmasters); an office Is second class when its' revenue is between $8,000 and $40,000 (there are 5.954 second class postmasters): a third class office is one which takes in between J1.5O0 and $8,000 (there are 12.819 third class postmasters): and a fourth class office is one with receipts of less than $1,500 lor tne year there- are 18,407 a vacancy In the second, third or fourth classes it holds examina tions for the candidates and then lists the top three. The postmaster Is picked from this list, by the post master general in the fourth class and by the President in classes two and three. (If a local nolitician feels he's been slighted he may be able to stir up enough fuss by. objections to the top three to get a re-exam ination of the candidates.) When a first class job Is open, civil service says, it checks on the and picks a list of the top three. From this list the President picks one to offer tor Senate approval. Since the President has plenty candidates or examining the life history of each, he must get ad vice, which is hardly a time for politicians to be qqutet. The terms of postmasters, once they're picked, run Indefinitely. While it was at it Wednesday, the Senate also refused to let the Pres ident put U.

NEW YORK i.n I, ml Irs. there are storm aitnals In Iho news hint lily that everything Is rising In value today except wives. Are wives over-lntlated? Should lliry be put tinder coiiliols? These Issues have been raised by two recent Items of Interest to every thoughtful woman, and by that, of course, I mean every woman: 1. A British Judge, granting a divorce lo a luikband whose wile ran off with another man, rut the husband's claim for damages liom $700 lo $210. and aald: "Her value lo her husband was diminishing from year to year be cause of disagreements." 2. Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson, a Virginia professor, describing wom en as "Ihe arch foe," called lor a new St. George lo emanclpalo American men and give them lour new freedoms, to wit: "Freedom from nagging, free dom from backseat driving. Iree dom to relax In old clothes alter a hard day's work, and freedom Irom Indigestion. Observing wllh tad hilarity that men no longer deserved the title "mice" as women are afraid ol mice, he said "e have become worms.'1 It Is high lime, the good prolessor added that men lorce the restora tion of the word 'obey' In the mar riage ceremony. He thinks men also ought lo decide when thry need a haircut, pick their own cloihiv. and their wile s hats, and decide whether "Ihe Joneses are lo be kept up wllh or not." But this was his most revolution ary idea: "No woman, married nf single, nhall be permitted to speak ol her Munition until she hd kept in writ ing for one year an accurate ac count ol all 1 r snap judgment and has compiled a record ol at least 60 per cent accuracy." The average wile would leap al this chance to show Dr. Stevens up. Any woman Instinctively knows enough about double entry book keeping lo prove her Intuition Is al least 99 per cent correct not a lame 60 per cent. Nor can we see many wives get ting thin from worrying over the professor's bugle call lor a mule rebellion In America. II husbands have become wuinis in this country It Is through sheer lailnesa. the abandonment of masculine respon sibility to the philosophy of "let the little woman, do It" Such worms are unlikely to turn In re volt. They don't want any more aulhorlly. They'd rather go on be ing spoiled and petted. But that British Judge's decision la an entirely dllferent matter. H strikes at the very heart of wom en's theory of power. Does any wlfn want It written In Ihe lawbooks Hint her value de creases "from year to year because of (llsngrrciiients"? It It an uneasy precedent. Husbands might alurt going Into court, saying: "Judge, I want a divorce, and don't give me any nonsense about alimony. My old lady and I have had so many dlsngrepineiils aim Isn't worth a plugged uirkel, and I hereby give her awuy lice." Wives have Just the oppusitn view. They llgurn Hie (ears thev give a man during their benl year have a leal dollar value to him. "Why, If It weren't for the argu ments I give my silly husband we'd liulli huve ended li) III Die poni huuse three weeas afler the honey moon," Is the way they'd sum It up. And It Is certainly true that many a husband does need a wlln wllh u permanent rave lo keep hlni from making Dangrupicy a nauit Girls, It might bp a good Idea to write lo the wile ol that British judge and tell hrr to give hhn u good henrl-lo-hrart talk on the facts of married life. Two Renamed To Boards Fred Peterson, Klamath Falls, and Mrs. Lorn F. Conn. Lakeview, have been renamed to county wel- i&re commissions. The appointments bv Governor McKay were announced today bv the A.P. in Salem, All appoint ments are for four years. mWki (n thank his lurkv stars that he has nothing more painful lo worry about than some Incon venience Imposed on him to make Ihlngs better and easier for his fighting representatives In Korea.
