Not All Cal's "Haymaking" Done on Farm Klamath Adventure A Fool There Was And He Tried to Sell to a Corporation An unsolicited letter comes to The News. After it is read The News has just a few words to say. Here's the letter: December 3, 1 925. Mr. J. J. Miller, Dist. Frt. & Pass. Agent, S. P. Co., Klamath Falls, Oregon. Dear Mr. Miller: Referring to the editorial of Nov. 12th in the Klamath Evening Herald, captioned "Let Them Pay the Bill : The Southern Pacific Co. has no in terest directly or indirectly in The Klamath News and has not had at any time. The Southern Pacific company has not extended any support directly or indirectly to The Klamath News except payment for such ad i vertising as may appear in that paper for : the Southern Pacific from time to time at regular rates. Incidentally, it may not be ". out of place to remark that the Southern Pacific company does not own any interest . in any newspaper anywhere. We are not in the newspaper business. No attempt has been made at any time by the Southern Pacific, or any of i3 officers, to dictate the policy of The Klamath News. If The News has supported our-projects-for . J establishment of district terminals at Klam- ath Falls, with large payrolls, to give Klam ath Falls and neighboring sections a direct line to the east with through service, and to build development lines necessary to main tain and increase the industries of Klamath : Falls and vicinity, it has no doubt done so because it felt that Klamath Falls would be greatly benefited by the constructive na ture of these projects and the permanent gain to Klamath Falls that would result from their being carried through. The Herald has done all it could to dis courage us from making any investments in railway facilities serving Klamath Falls, by its attitude, which of course, reflects its conclusions as to what it deems to be a proper public policy. It should, however, concede The News the right at the same time to have a different viewpoint, and to express it if it feels that the interests of Klamath Falls are best to be served thereby. Yours truly, (Signed) PAUL SHOUP. Far frcm being concerned over the fre quent false statement that the Southern Pa cific, or any corporation, has subsidized this newspaper, its humble publishers might at times, when they face payrolls, wish that it might be true. But it isn't true. And none know it so well as those who have tried to sell out to cor porations and have been rebuked. Corpora tions are not buying newspapers nowadays. After failing to sell out the next thing a ifoolish publisher tries to do is to blackjack a corporation through his columns. ' A publisher these days must play the game without a sap publishing a newspaper is the game, not blackjacking and blackmailing. o Farmers in the great Klamath 'country are now referring to the humble 3pud as Mr. Potato. ' AGAIN , v Heart & Home ; Problems - ,v 1 By Mm. Elizabeth Thompson . AOOKH IIY INVALID MOTHER Dear Mr. Thompson: What shall I do? My mother Is ill and I do all the work, yet am nagged at continually by her. She says 1 do not cook her food decent. Nov, Mrs. Thompson, I do. My father takes my part and this makes her mad again. I am IT years old and and surely wish I were 18. DORA. You must remember, Dora, that illness roughens the disposition, snd that your mother la not her self. If she were well, she prob ably would not complain about your cookery. Just keep in mind that she is sick and needs ail your loving consideration, and bear her nagging without letting It hurt. Ask your father not to take your part in her presence. In Irritat ing your mother by unkind words with her, you are only retarding her recorery. When she Is well again, you will not regret being patient with her. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a married woman with one child and I am considered attractive. My husband has a large salary but gives, me enough only to bny things for the table. If I want money for anything extra I must ask for It, and he wants to know what I want with it and makes me feel like a beggar. He has several girls working for him whom he Invites to the movies and to our home. I do not rare to associate with them, but that makes no dif ference to him, he thinks what he wants is all right. Do you think I should refuse to go out with them and let him see he has no right to take these girls out? One Is a married woman. Please help nip. MRS. M. B. .1.

Arrange for him to j meet other Interesting people, and j plan little entertaining evenings 1 for just the two of you. With oth- j er interests at hand he probably will not caro about having the wo- men visit yqur home. You should ! enjoy this contaet with other per- ; sons. too. And It Is up to you to make the home Interesting. . H. T.: I am not very good at naming dogs but for your German police puppy I suggest: "Victor." "Kaiser." Radio." "Pretiel," or "Busy."

These two women or known as Freydisa and Oudrida. They were either daughtors or dstightors-ln-law of Eric tho Rod, who discovered Greenland, snd who wss the father of heir the liicky, who Is credited with havln discovered the main land or America. . Both Freydisa and Oudrida were members or expeditions made to America In the tenth or eleventh centuries, according to the sagas. Oudrida Is fnmed as the mother of the first white child born in America This child was named Hnorrl. GuHrlda died In Iceland, where she lived with her son Bnorrl. There are men alive today In Scandinavian countries who claim to be direct descendants of Hunrri. Freydisa Is renowned In song and story as the heroine or a battle be tween Norsemen and natives whose description suggests the Eskimos. The natives hud attacked the Norsemen In consldornhlo numbers. The Norsemen were fleeing. Freyl disa called to them: "If I had a weapon I could fight better lhan any of you."
