If you happen to have had the misfortune to be born with a nose big enough to hold $40 worth of nickels people tend to ignore it. If your ears flap In the breeze and have a tendency to get caught on door hinges when you enter a room all but the callous and unfeeling will tactfully discuss some other subject. Eyes of contrasting color call forth no more than a mere mention and a towering frame that requires you to stoop to enter an eight foot doorway Is met on all sides with downright admiration and envy. But Just get sufficient girth to be comfortable and pad you on such occasions as picnics, football games, church suppers and other affairs where you have to sit on hard benches for hours and you do come an object of censure and ridi cule. , Friends who will overlook any rift In your moral character ana laugh Indulgently over your sharp practices in business converge on you. a fanatic gleam in their eyes and bitter scorn In their voice.

First nnd Immediately, the fore cast is tor a smaller national crop, so the market for this year's crop looks better. Potatoes are being contracted right now at reasonable prices. More Important for the future, the Klamath nnd Central Oregon growers, operating as the Klamath-Deschutes Potato Promotion Council, arc embarking on a long range marketing progrnm. Such a program Is difficult, and heeded, because our spuds pass through so many hands between the growers' cellnrs and the checking counters of distant food stores. Executing of tills selling pro grain has been placed In the cap able hands of Pacific Nntlonul Ad vertising Agency. Pacific's pro gram, which was okayed by the Council here somo weeks ao, Is aimed to reach and Influence the wholesale and distributive trade, the rotnii grocery trade, nnd home economists, newspaper nnd radio station food editors as well ns con sumers In the areas where our potatoes are sold. There's Just one more hurdle to pass, to make It a complete pro- gram, mats the acceptance of their mnrkettng order by growers on the California side of (he line If 51 percent of the growers In Modoc and Siskiyou counties rep. resenllng 65 percent of the acre age, or 65 percent ot (lie growers representing 51 percent of the acreage, return the ballots now In their hands with a "yes" vote, tho marketing order will become a legal enlltv under California laws. If the marketing order Is ac cepted, growers of Klamath no- tatoes In Tulelake and Butte Val ley will add another $10 thousand to the kilty, matching like mounts from Klamath on the Oregon side and from Cenlrnl Oregon.

Surprised, because I supposed that most people In the community would prefer to avoid stirring up again the stench from such a rot- ten mess: and disappointed be cause you seem so determined to whitewash the officials who sold out to the racketeering syndicates You have posed the question . "Just how - in principle did the money in Klamnth Account No. 307 differ from this money derived from (Oregon) racetrack gamb ling" - and I am unwilling' to be. lieve you don't V-now the answer. As a professional Journalist, far better Informed than most of us, you know that racetrack gambling was approved by the people of Oregon. In a referendum measure on the ballot a year ago, and that even though the state constitution has not been amended, the people did have a chance to express their teeungs on this issue at the polls, You know that Account 307 was never authorized by the people of tills community, and that very few even knew of its existence until last spring, a year after it had been abandoned. You know that Account 307 was an unlawful act, made possible only because some city officials Joined with ex-Mayor Thompson In violating their respec tive oaths of office; and they sold for undetermined sums of money the special privilege of breaking me law wnn immunity from prose cution. You were asked last spring to publish a complete report on mo institution of Account 307. show. lug who proposed It and ho v each councilman voted, but you chose 10 ignore me request. Yes. Mr. Jenkins, you know well the answer to the question you have posed, but the real question is . why have you asked It? Are you presuming that most people don't know the answer and thnt you can confuse them even more? Why are you so determined to con done the officials who sponsored account 307, that you have dug the thing up again? Just where do you leally stand in such matters any vay? Do you believe laws should be enforced until they are re penled? Or do you believe thnt the onth of office Inken by a public official Is Just a mockery to be disregarded whenever it is exped ient? I am ccrtnin that a lot of people find you rather hard to understand. You seem inclined to defend and apologize for the unlawful nets of our officials, yet on other occa sions, when you seemed inspired bv patriotic sentiments, you have writ ten that what the ordinary citizen in this country needs most. Is a government he can trust and pub lic officials he can believe In im plicitly. I am one of those ordinary ob-: scure citizens, old enough to be desperately looking for government I can trust, but I can't put my faith in men who sell special priv ilege from their official positions, ngardless of whether It Is done In Klamath Falls or in Salem, or in Washington. D. C. Some of us who have written in on such occasions, well realize how pitifully untrained we are to ex- press our thoughts in print, and we ' do expose ourselves to a certain amount of rid.cule to say nothing of the number of enemies we "win." We know too well, that as the pub lisher of the town's only paper, you can nnd usually do have the Inst word, but we would be grate ful to know Just where you stand. If you are under a personal ob ligation to whitewash some un scrupulous officials, or are Inter ested In setting up another Account 307, we would at least know what we are up against insofar as the paper Is concerned. Perhaps It would be Just ns well for the ordinary citizen to relax nnd quit going to the polls to vote. Perhaps we should stop worrying too much about what we might lose If nnd when the communists should take over. After all, the commies nre only proposing to do by force and violence, what the Account 307 breed accomplish by corruption - ff BEST I CAN LOAN ( caj-iUlVWS I EOUfiU I AUUF TUP.

Llnman 39 Nevada Dear Mr. Llnman: You have asked a question. I will answer it. I did not approve "Account No. 307" when It was established. I do not approve It now. You can't touch pitch without being defiled. But neither do I approve the use that is being made In Oregon of money derived from race track gambling. This money that Is go ing to community enterprises all over Oregon differs In no way whatever from the "Account No 307" money that was used for com munity enterprises in Klamath Falls. It comes from a levy on gambling and Its appropriation to these community enterprises Is to gloss over the fact that Oregon shares In the profits of race track gambling. This In spite of the fact that lotteries are forbidden in ure gon's constitution and everybody who ever saw one Knows tnai pari. mutuel machines are lotteries. I'm surprised to hear you defend them ns "legal" and therefore presum ably moral. I think you'll remember that the finger of scorn was pointed rather freely at our city as a result of "Account No. 307." Yet, nil over Oregon, the communities that ac cept these appropriations are do ing In principle exactly what we did. I oblect to mat nnarnsaicai nttltude. 1 think it's time for the state of Oregon to become an hon est woman. She should either re peal the clause in her constitution that forbids lotteries or she should quit accepting money from gamb ling that Is done on machines that are obviously lotteries just as slot machines are lotteries. I've been expressing that opinion for years, ' F- FROM ARABIA I pay a hell of a price for my paper, what paper? inc nernm nnd News! Is there another? Coup led with the price I pay is the fact that I receive only about 50 per cent of the ones that are mailed, but I figure that some of the mer chant seamen that steal my copies might be enticed to come to Klam ath Falls and retire some day, and if only one shows up. the papers that have been lifted from me will be a good investment for me. I don t write many letters to tne editor, but when I do. I think I should be entitled to cover a cou ple of subjects, due to the distance Involved. I have always been an admirer of Senator Wayne Morse, even when he bolted the. Republi can Party, but since his lntest out burst, which appeared in a recent Issue of News Week, i no longer consider him to be as smart ns I had figured previously. He was spouting on the subject of Israel, which, obviously, he knows nothing about. I have no love for Pales tinians, with whom I have been working for a number of years, but if it is fair to kick all of you out of the Klamath B-sln and give ,ne arpa b,CK l0 the Indians, then it is fair to kick the Palestinians j out of Israel and give it back to the Yehudl's.

WORLD'S FINEST COOKWARE White The Doctor Says By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. "My daughter, age 17, has dia betes Insipidus," writes Mrs. O. "Is this serious? She has been using a hay-lever spray and I wonder If this could be the cause." The hay-fever spray Is almost cer talnly not the cause of the rath er unusual condition known as dia betes insipidus. In discussing this condition it should be said first that this Is not the same as the so-called sugar vdiabetes or dia betes melhtus which Is a much more common disorder. In diabetes Insipidus large quan tities of urine which does not con tain sugar are- passed. This dis ease is more common in young people than in older ones and in boys and men than in girls and women. The underlying cause us ually cannot be discovered. A family tendency, perhaps a truly inherited one has been sug gested as responsible In the ma jority of pases but this is not al ways clear. The symptoms usually develop gradually although sudden onsets have been reported. A great In crease in the amount of urine ex creted is the most constant symp tom and an Increased amount of thirst is also frequent. Someone suffering from diabe tes insipidus may pass nearly four gallons of - urine in twenty-four hours. The inconvenience of this dis ease is obvious especially if the victim attempts to quench the ac companying thirst. The appetite is likely to be nor mal, which is different from that in the common form of sugar dia betes in which hunger is likely to be excessive. In many cases the general health does not seem to suffer. People have been known to live with diabetes insipidus for fifty years; some spontaneous recover ies have taken place. The location of the trouble, is fairly well known. It Is pretty well agreed that the source lies in a specific portion of the brain, Irritation or injury of this re gion will act on a portion of the pituitary gland, reduce its nor mone production and produce the symptoms of diabetes insipidus. If a specific cause, such as a tumor, cannot be found, giving a hormone obtained- from the nitu- itary gland Usually brings about renei 01 symptoms which lasts for many hours. These treatment linn-Bun, have to be repeated and do not bring about a permanent cure. Un til more has been learned about the original cause of diabetes in sipidus It Is unlikely that any complete cure can be devised.

I HOTEL J m fOWfll AT UNION J01MRE I Siaglai htm UJO M I Banblai Ittm .M g 1 stf GAUAOt IKVICI M aajr Stag ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD The history of early exploration of the Klamath country dales back to the early Spanish ambition to discover the fabled straits of An Ian. Of course It was Columbus who actually gave impetus to a vast amount of speculation. Tic ticiqus voyages cropped up In the early publications by the dozens after Columbus announced the dis covery of new land to the west let it not be said that modern day "Science" fiction writers were the first to pioneer human flights of fancy. Columbus set out from Spain with the expectation that by fol lowing a westerly course across the great ocean he would reach the Asiatic coast and island de scribed by Polo and Mandeviile. Fortunately for Columbus the dis tance across the western ocean was greatly underestimated and as a result the islands and coast Columbus discovered substantially agreed for position In the content pory charts and descriptions. Co lumbus agreed in the main with his contemporaries; the theories appeared to be valid; the enter prise was successful; and all that remained to be done was to follow the presumed Asiatic coast south westward to the rich provinces of India. This task presented no dif ficulties; but before the program could be followed out a new land was found In the south, not laid down in the charts, and too far east to be a part of the Asiatic main land. The conclusion was immediate and natural; the new land was simply a large Island, separate but not very far distant from the main Asiatic coast and not known to Marco Polo and the other ex plorers. The new discovery, there fore, offered no new obstacle to the old theories or to the proposed voyage to India. The Spaniards on their trip would coast southwest ward and pass between the con tinent and the island. This pas sage must be a strait they rea soned. But as time passed and explor ers converged from the north and south they could find no strait, only land faced them wherever they voyaged. This was a very vexing obstacle and from a grand and broad passage between an Is land and a continent the passage dwindled In slse to a narrow chan nel that still could exist having eluded the search of the earlier voyagers. Eventually it began to dawn upon the explorers that correc tions In the old charts would have to be made and the strait was in reality further north than the sec tion of the new land they had ex plored. The latitudes of the old writers were not very definite and their knowledge of the regions to the north was given over to spec- , ARRESTS JEMAPPES.

If a strait could not be found, Uien this new land really South America could not be an island detached from the Asiatic coast but was a south-western projection of that coast from a point farther north than any known to the geographers. At this period of the world's knowledge no one suspected that a new con tinent had been discovered. As the years passed and no strait was discovered, successive voyages began to show the great extent of this presumed southern projection of the Asiatic main, land. The explorers of the Isth mus brought to light the South Sea shores; then the great Portu guese navigator crossed the Pa. clfic and made known the im mense stretch of waters 'separat ing the new lands from India; Cortez and his men revealed the fact that Mexico also had Its western coast; It became evident, in the opinion of the early geo graphers, that not only was this New World a projection of Asia but that all the recent discoveries belonged to this new land. The islands and the main land dis covered by Columbus and those who followed him were very far from the India which they had been imagined to be so near. The geographers could not abandon all their theories and show an en tirely new world but clung stren. uously to the early belief that this projection from Asia was an immense one. Neither could they give up the idea that there was not a strait somewhere to the north just beyond the limit of ex ploration. Some of the early cart ographers resolved to be up with the future revelations so they drew several straits at convenient intervals on their maps. The current Idea amon th navigators of the day was all that had to be done was merely to follow the western coast, at first north, then west, and finally south to India, passing through the strait on the way. It was not long before the explorations were pushed beyond the fortieth paral lei. Meanwhile the interests of Spain declined as the mysterious strait kept receding into the un known regions of the north. The Spanish Interests to the south had J assumed Importance and Spain lost interest In pushing her inter ests northward after the geograph ical relations of that region to In dia became better realized. A strait, If It existed to the north, would be a disadvantage and even a menace to Spain.
