A new discovery has been made
about Chateaubriand: nothing less
than that he once sold stockings on

was still an officer in the royal SER

appealing for help on the ground that
he must either pay that debt Or blow

Medical Missionary Tells Stories Of
Her Patients.

Her Patients.
Mrs r. Rowling medical mission
airy at Gayaza, Uganda, tells many
stories about her patients and their
implicit faith in the skill and knowl
edge of "the white medicine woman"
What she has to say on the matter is
as amusing as it is interesting and
instructive. and serves to illustrate
curious trait of the savage. mind that
has been commented upon by travel
ers in practically all parts Of the
world-viz.. the keen delight which
natives take In sampling the white
mans drugs. It matters not whether
the medicine be palatable or nauseous,
they must have it if it is to be OBJ
tanned.
THE native patients" says Mrs.
Rowling, are most amusing in the
implicit faith they have in the musao
(doctor). as they call Miss Pilgrim,
the dispenser here. Anything she
likes to give them they take, but many
Of them cannot yet see how a pain
in the head can be cured by swallow
ing a pill, and would much prefer to
rub the pill on the place affected. One
day we visited woman with bad
pain in the ear. We gave her two
nils to swallow, but instead of doing
so she proceeded to drop them into
her ear. Another tried to put her
medicine up her nostrils.

A suggestion that shoe repairing,

desire to become cobblers or who
would profit by learning the trade
have, as a rule, only few years to

failure of the heir, or heirs, alleged
devisee of said entryman, or any
mortgage or assignee of any mort

cultivate or Craze any portion of said
land or place any improvements there

NOT A JOURNALISTIC SCHOOL
EDITOR

From what we can learn, young
Editor Lynn of the Yuma Daily Her
aid, is finding hundreds of admirers
and considerable patronage by his
gallant fight against the Gear of
Yuma, who is known by the horrible
foreign appellation of Sanguinetti.
Commercialists of the old school may
gag" the poulatiou and railroad"
a few strong minds out of town, but
the modern heads of trade and COM
merce still occasionally find an edi
tor who wasn't raised in journal
istic school and will not lay down to
the big advertisers. Go to it. Lynn!
They may shut off your credit and
even stop your supply of ink and
newsprint, but you can use wall paper
and paint, like Dad Watson did at
Wickenburg. II you go to Jail for a
short time, million readers will be

DOGS SHOULD BE vAcclNATED

State Veterinarian Douglas issued
notice calling on all dogs to be
confined because of the danger of
rabies which he styled as epidemic
and dangerous to public health. Two
days after, it transpires that the
labor and expense of this protection
to guard the community health is
not a joint obligation but one which
the county contends should be en-
forced by the state and the state
hurls the obligation right back on
the county Of course, the state vet
erinarian's efforts are all for naught.

GIVE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

Lower taxes, which can come only
out of savings; hardly less do they
want to see deflation of the civil
service both as a measure of econ
omy and as leading to the simplifica-
ton of the government and away
from Capitalization and excessive pa
ternalism. No matter what Washing
ton may think, President Coolidge
may feel sure of the approval and
support of the people, for they recog-
nize in him one who is at least try

GOING THE LIMIT TO SHIELD
CROOKS

When three out of five members
of the Federal Trade Commission
adopted an order providing secrecy
for all complaints filed hereafter with
that commission, something new
came into being, and Big Business
gets another cloak with which to
cover it's misdeeds.
There is to be no publicity un-
less complaints lead to formal action
against the accused concerns. And,
if it is found that the defendant con-
Germs are practicing deceit or using
unfair methods, the defendants may
agree to reform and there will be
no publicity.

HIGHWAY PURCHASING AGENT
RESIGNS

Geo. Eberle, recently in the courts
on charges Of transporting liquor
across the border, and having as his
companion H. S. McCluskey, secre-
tary to Gov. Hunt, resigned as pur-
chasing agent of the Arizona State
Highway department last Wednesday,
His connection with the liquor charge
was not reason for his resignation,
but rather the lack of the 7th legis-
lature to provide his department with
funds for road building was given as
the real cause. Eberle has accepted
a position with the U. S. Rubber Co.,
where he may be able to enjoy sum-
mer beverages without restraint.

Financial circles are waiting to
see what German policies are to be
under Won Hindenburg. While it does
not seem that economic conditions
will be harmed, it is felt that German
dealings will be slow. Some inter-
national students regard the German
election as a swing toward conserva-
tism, such as has taken place in this
country and England, as well as in
France, to a lesser extent, during the
past several months. The depressing
effect of the German election has
been relieved to some extent by the
turn Of England to the gold standard.

Force Enlarged to Complete
State Probe.

Five additional stenographers and
clerks were placed on the Public
Service Commission force today to
assist in final check OF inventory of
Indiana Bell Telephone Company
properties, John w. McCardle, COM
mission chairman, announced.
McCardle predicted it would be
possible to check the inventory and
arrive at an appraisal by the first Of
July, when the commission will hold
hearings on the question Of granting
the Bell Company a new rate sched-
ule. The company now is operating
under temporary rates allowed by
Federal Court in enjoining the COM
mission fro menforcing rates fixed in
August. 1928.
Practically all field work In con-
nection with the inventory, which
Taylor E. Groninger, Benjamin Perk
and Edward Bemis have supervised,
is complete. Bemis will employ the
unit-cost system in fixing the APP
praisal. McCardle said it might be
necessary to employ still additional
aids in compiling the data.
