NEW TRADE POLICY SAID
TO HAVE UNDERMINED
LEADER OF BOLSHEvIKS

RIGA, July 23.--Newspapers now
appearing in Moscow give some ink
ling of the struggle in Russia during
the first two months of the attempt
to restore something like normal
civilization along the line Of Lenine' !
new policy of freedom of trade, and
at the same time retain power In
the hands OF the communists. Re-
form after reform has been an
nounced, but the Moscow papers say
that difficulties are arising at every
turn.
,Lenine. hopeful of success, is keep
ing his pen busy day and night writ
ing articles explaining why the re-
forms were necessary and urging
the peasants to support him.
Secklov and other more radical
writers, however, are filling the
Pravda and Izvestia with arguments
In which they attempt to show that
free trade already has proved an
utter failure. They are also adopt
ing the 81 told you so" attitude and
suggesting tho return to ironclad
communism.
During the period Of transition no
American or other foreign news cor
respondents were admitted into Rus
sla and only occasional news admis-
sions or editorial controversy is
printed "A the Moscow press.
The Moscow Economic Life of May
s displays hopefully an account Of
a peasants conference which agreed
on the necessity Of the non-partisans
working with the communists to re-
store Russia; but other papers edi-
torially bemoan the fact that 'the
peasants are not interested and won't
do anything at all"
The information from Independent
sources, however, indicates that Le-
nine has no reai opposition that he
could not sweep away quickly and
that the situation is now entirely up
to him. He Is being guarded more
closely than ever, in view OF the
rumors in Moscow of a new plot to
assassinate him and other commits
saries.

PANAMA WOULD
POPULATE COUNTRY
WITH NEW RACE

PANAMA, July 23.-The govern
ment of Panama has sent special im-
migration agents to Czecho-Slovakia
Austria, Italy, Spain and the Can
aries, to induce farmers from those
countries to come to Panama.
The government mas begun the
construction of two hundred miles
Of highways in the most fertile parts
Of the interior, and intends to fol-
low with several hundred miles more,
with the idea of opening up the
country. But after the roads are
built construction has begun and
the money Is in hand to pay the
bills), they will not be used unless
new inhabitants are brought into
the country.
The native of Panama has his
own farm and is living on II very

tons In most cases. but conditions
which are well adapted to the trop-
les and which suit MIN. lie works
little but lives we'll. His surplus
produce is such as can conveniently
be carried to seaport on mule back,
and he enjoyes the weekly trip to the
village.
But such people cannot develop a
country, because they are too busy
enjoying life. The idea II the gov
ernment is to induce immigration Of
experienced farmers from the south
of Europe, who are also hard work
ers, assign them land. secure them
in their title, and even assist them
with implements and seed for the
first few years.
As white men these people will
soon disappear, as white men are
bound to do in the tropics, but their
children will mix with the brown
natives, and this mixture makes q
strong race, well adapted to the heat
and bright light. This mixed race.
known as morenos, is the strongest
and best factor in Panama at the
present time. and the government
had in mind far-seeing policy Of
perpetuatlng It.

FORGER AND JAIL
BREAKER GIVEN 8
YEARS SENTENCE

Philip Forester the forger, who
escaped from the county Jail months
ago by assaulting Bert Moses, the
jailer, and was recaptured recently
in Spokane or Seattle, where he was
taking part in II burglary, was sen.
fenced in Il circuit court In Jackson
vile by Judge +. NJ. Calkins to eight
years in the Oregon penitentiary for
his assault on Moses at the time of
the escape. He pleaded guilty in
court Friday to this indictment.
Forester must face two other in
dictments to which he has refused
to enter q plea before he retains an
attorney. 1t Is not known just wher
he will be ready to enter his pleas.
One of these indictments is for ut
tering forgery. the cause Of his
original arrest here, when he was
captured after pursuit over the city
by John B. Goodrich of the Toggery
Bill store, surrendering when Good
rich pointed an unloaded old revol-
yer at him. The other indictment
charges him with assault on a jailer
On account of Forester's known
dangerous character, Sheriff Terrill
is anxious to get him to the peni-
tentiary as soon as possible. and is
expected to take the prisoner to Sa-
lem sometime the first Of this week.
The sheriff will breathe easier when
Forester is off his hands and safely
behind the penitentiary doors. II
may be that he will be kept in the
county jail until the two pending In
dictments are disposed Of. but this
is hardly thought probable.
Forester has been kept in the
strongest cell in the county Jail ever
since he was brought back from the
north after his escape, under close
guard. He served a term in the Cal
ifornia penitentiary for forgery.

SUMMER NORMAL
SCHOOL CLOSES A
SUCCESSFUL TERM
BY G. A. BRISCOE

Friday afternoon, July 29, 1921,
the six weeks term of the normal
school at Ashland, closed very sue
cessful and satisfactory period o.
study. The director was able to an
nounce at the Friday assembly that
the Board of Regents for the state
normal, and the people of Ashland
would cooperate in having a twelve
weeks normal in Ashland during the
summer of 1922
Everyone feels that the faculty at
the summer term here was excep-
tionally well chosen, each for his
distinctive work. To such an extent
is this true that il was common
expression with many OF the stu
dents that the summer session Of
the Oregon normal school was the
most satisfactory one they had ever
attended.
There were eighty-one students
enrolled. giving their addresses as
follows: Jackson county, 3S; Klam-
ath county, 13; Josephine county, 10;
Douglas county, 10; Wheeler coun-
ty, /; Curry county, |; Lane county,
/; Multnomah county. |; Gillian
county. /; Vancouver, Wash. /;
Berkeley, Calf, ST. Paul, Mimi,
/; Superior, Wis, 2.
Many of the students in attend
ance were graduates of normal
schools, while others were in nor
nal school for the first time. The
beginners were mainly interested in
the school of methods, while the
graduatings chose psychology ana
educational measurements. In the
school OF music were found students
of all grades. The Ashland branch
of the Oregon normal was very for
tunate in having for the full time
Prof. Coon, of Eugene. Or. Support
ing his work, giving charm and zest
to the department, the musical pro
grams at the Chautauqua, and the
special chorus led by Mr.. Coon. were
highly appreciated.
Probably no other body OF sum
mer school students In the North
west was more highly favored than
the Ashland center with high class
lecturers. Among them were DR..
Curtis, organizer of the American
playground association and lecturer
on physical and social welfare; Dr..
Sternheim, of Boston, and Mr.. Cole
man, of Oregon.
The student body enjoyed to the
full the scenic beauties of Ashland.
Among their recreations were din
ner in the Ashland park. a trip to-
Mt. Ashland, and an automobile trip
TO the summit of the Siskiyous, ana
several social functions.
tfriday. July 80, everyone seemed
loath to quit the scenes and faces
that had grown familiar to them, ana
with one accord said. I'VE will boost

to enjoy her work. her play and her

Usually families who eat, quanti-
ties of fruit keep we'll and have clear
compilations. Fruits have no great
value from nutritlve standpoint.
They are composed largely of water,
which makes them refreshing, vary
ing amounts OF fruit sugar and, most
important of all, are valued for the
minerals and acids they contain.
Fruit sugars are easily dlgested and
the minerals and acids act as regu-
lators, body-cleansers and blood pur-
ifiers, and also aid the body in acid
izing other kinds of food A glass
of orange juice taken the first thing
in the morning acts as a medcin
food is present in the stomach at
the time. II taken with other foods,
while beneficial, it will lack the med
icinal value.
Many people find that acid fruits
interfere with digestion when eaten
with cereal or other starchy foods.
This will not happen, however, IL
either food is eaten alone. To many
the fruit acids act as an appetizer
when taken as first course for
breakfast, and it will often stimu-
late a somewhat tagging appetite.
The best time, then, to eat acid fruits
must be decided by each individual.
Sweet fruits, such as prunes, figs,
raisins, dates and bananas, are best
to serve with starchy foods and Ger
eals. With the exception OF bananas
all these fruits furnih enough sugar
for the cereal.
Eat only round ripe fruit. Raw
green fruit is dangerously indigest
ible, but may be cooked and found
perfectly satisfactory. Over-ripe or
partly decayed fruit is poisonous
from the bacteria it contains and
should never be used, raw or cooked.
Fruit merely bruised, but not spoiled
may be used for jams and fruit but
ters.
Too often fruit is, considered a
luxury rather than necessity. The
judicious use Of both fresh and |
cooked fruits means better health
and satisfaction for each members OF
the household. The addition of su-
gar to cooked fruit greatly increases
its nutritiye value and cooking sugar
at high temperature in conjunction
with the acid of the fruit brings
about the inversion OF the sugar,
which is one of the first steps in it,
