LEE NOE OFFICER AND G EN TLEM AN — T HE passing Sunday night of Captain H. Lee Noe, captain of the Oregon state police in the eastern Oregon district and former peace of ficer of Malheur county was a shock to his many friends in Malheur county. Although Captain Noe had been sick for some time, hope had been held out for his recovery. The west can ill afford to lose officers and gentlemen of the calibre of Captain Noe. He was one of the outstanding peace officers in eastern Oregon for 25 years and during that time was instrumental in solving some of the most noted crimes perpetrated east of the Cas cade mountains. Although kindness and justice were two of his outstanding characteristics, he was successful in securing many murder con fessions. His success in the law enforcement field was due largely to his kindly disposition, his de votion to duty, his energy and nis unswerving determination to be of servce to the public. * COMMENTS B Y C LA R K W OOD ------ +-- Until the meek do inherit the earth, we fear the mailed fist will prevail against the pacifist. —+— An Indiana hotel man swallowed 34 open safety pins in a suicide attempt, thwarted by sur geons. While quite unusual, his method had its points. Tulsans, in Oklahoma, have found that crows are good to eat. Thus, the G.O.P.’s November dish will not be unpalatable. Wars were fought, however, before munitions makers were heard of. Our sympathy no longer goes out to our east ern cousins, suffering from the winter cold. We need it for ourselves. The railroads got through 1934 without a single passenger fatality. They always win at the crossings. Perhaps the game birds would be less appre ciative of food put out by sporisment if they knew they were Being kept alive through the winter in order to be shot in the fall.

Public In looking through the flics a year ago we find the boys had been out cleaning o ff the golf course and talk of a baseball team was already In the air—a year ago. Remember Casey's Trial?" It was held last February. Baled hay was pouring out of Malheur county and construction crews were getting ready for another big year. A law enacted by ti c s)iecial ses sion oi legislature and which has Just gone Into effect says the kids can't swim in the in i ation ditches anymore. This law don't bother much now but this summer It will be a different tune. The fire Friday at the Beers home was the third within a week, which should indicate that Nyssa will be free from fires for a time. Whether it Is fate, luck or predistlnation; fires always seems to run in threes here at Nyssa. and after the allotted three, past history shows that sev eral montits will lapse before the next fire, but once they start again there will have to be three in a row. We hope history don't repeat itself in this case and that we never have another fire. W H A T HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE LA T E S T NEWS ON THE GOLD S T R IK E —NEITHER HAVE WE.

ABBOTT O R E people could feel fine, be fit and regular, if they would only follow Ihe rule of doctors and hospitals in relieving constipation. I Never take any laxative that harsh in action. Or one, the dose of which can’ t be exactly measured. 1 Doctors know the danger if this rule is violated. They use a liquid laxative, and keep reducing the dose until the bowels need no help at all Reduced dosage is the secret of aiding Nature in restoring regularity. You must use a little less laxative each time, and that’ s why it should be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin. Ask your druggist for a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and if it doesn’ t give you absolute relief, if it isn’ t a joy and comfort in the way it overcomes any sluggishness or biliousness, your money back.
