A member of a national medical asso ciation tells the following story at the eicpeuso of a physician: "Arc- yon sure," an anxious patient once askod "are you sure that I shall recover! I have heard that doctors nave Bometiinos given wrong diagnoses and treated ft nntient for pneumonia who afterward died of typhoid fover."

If 1 ouu get up early paid cut grass without the neighbors bearing me I won't have to lend that luwuiuower seven times before I get to use it again myself.", Boston Trans THE Portland Journal refers to the demand for fruit lands in this vicinity as "the Salem boom." . ' The phrase is unfortunate, for Salem is not-booming, nor, with her calm indifference to fate and complacent self-sufficiency, is she likely to boom. Temper-mentally she is "agin" it. - Nature can spill her bounties about her and the state shower its tax roll over her, but Salem can not help it and is an unwilling Barkis to opportunity's proposals. How can Salem boom, When her citizens refuse to supply h.ousing accommodations for new residents? How can a community gam rapidly m population, when there are no quarters.for homeseekers? . ... . j Boom has several meanings. ' The Journal used the word in the sense of rapid growth based upon the tardy realization of the merits of natural resources; But boom also means "to drum, sound as an empty barrel," and "to cry with a hollow note." It is the latter kind of a boom, the hollow note ol artiiicial inflation caused by clever ex ploitation and over capitalization, which sooner or later is followed by the slump of collapse that Salem should and must avoid. The actual value of farm land is based upon the pro fit it can "be made to yield under average conditions. The speculative value is that based upon artificial or unusual conditions. . If hop land was selling on the basis of the present market, with hops at 70 cents a pound, we would have a parallel to the inflated vajues at which fruit lands sold in the orchard belts of the northwest in the apple boom of a decade ago. High prices for land must be dis couraged if we seek the permanent prosperity of the set tler and resultantly, of the city. Vegetable, fruit and berry lands in the Willamette Valley are in great demand because Salem industries now furnish a competitive market for the producer. The grow er can contract his yield in advance to be utilized in any one of half a dozen great industrial plants, thus stabilizing the market. He does not have to ship long distances to uncertain markets and become the victim of railroad de lay, speculative sharks, and commission vultures. Thus Salem offers more inducements to the producer than any section of the northwest, and the intensive development and payrolls assured, will force an unwilling growth upon Salem. , (i j , ; " f Salem can, however, materially speed-up this legitim ate growth by providing needed housing facilities," and stabilize it by discouraging land inflation and speculation. I The developer and worker is needed, not the speculator and get-rich-quick boomer. As a burned child dreads the fire, so does anyone who has been through a boom based upon the inflation of land values, dread its repetition. We cannot afford to handicap the producer by over-capital- lzation of the land he is dependent upon. , - The Journal's article follows: . , "Near Hulem a man bought, four months ago a !i3-acre farm, on which is a 5-aero prune orchard in full bcniintf. He paid $180 un acre for the property. "After nulling J00 worth of prunes, ho' disposed of the farm the other day. The salo price was .KM) an acre. His gross profit ou the property in four mouths is 124,900, ' - , "A farm of about JllO acres several miles southeast of Salem changed hands the other day for 00,000. It was bought-by; n man residing in the commun ity, ft comprised 75 acres of prunes, 2fi acres of cherries and 00 acres of tim bered land. The prune orchard and the higher price of prunes had a great deal to do with both sales. Quibs and Quirks T him," said Dr. Jennie Callfas, promi nent welfare worker.
