 OUT BY CALIFORNIAN

LOS ANGELES.-It It wasn't the old adage that to have job we'll done is to do it yourself, that caused Dr. Robert Meals to remove his own ap- pendix
 RF'rom his bed in hospital here today the surgeon the declared the operation was an experiment to verify his previous conclusion thatfthe shock patients suffer in operation was laryely due to anaesthesia rather than to the operation itself.
 The operation was performed three days ago, and today Meals said: q feel well enough to get up and walk. If it were safe to do so 1 could get up now instead of waiting the neces- sary ten days"
 Meals took his place on the operat- ing table with only one nurse, in- ternes and Dr. Nichols present. His back and head were propped up and the surgeons gown slipped over his shoulders. He wore the usual rubber gloves, and with his own hands pro- ceeded exactly as though he were op- erating on an unconscious patient. Dr. Nichols part in the operation took halfsan hour. Throughout the entire operation the surgeon carried on a joking conversation. Local anaesthe- sia was applied, but Meals was under considerable pain because of the inn possibility of anaesthesing the inner
 rgans.

banks were liberal ca fault when there was big demand for agricul- tural products, but they want their money now, and it is not possible under present conditions to farm sue cessfully under such a handicap. The farmer who owned his land before the war, however, or who has sufficient money to buy land at the fictitious value and equip it with proper ma chinery without borrowinp from the banks, is lot better off than his city neighbor, for ne can ao 4eas1 grow much of what he needs to sus- tain him and has home which he can call his own. He may fail one year to make his farming yield profit, but the succeeding year. may bring finn bountiful crops and high prices for all he has to sell. Farmers who own their own land, understand farming and are thrifty are much better off than some members of Congress would have the people be-
 ieve.

One Calls for Two

Governor Trumbull of Connecticut was discussing the New York sewer scandal at luncheon in Hartford.
 "One calls for two," he said, "when you begin to break the, law. It's like the boys and the milk.
 "Two Hortford boys were carrying home a pitcher of milk.
 "'Oh, gosh,' said the younger one as he wiped his mouth with the. back of his hand, we've drunk too much of 1t. Whatll we do?'
 "Do?' said the older boy. Why, there's only one thing to do now, of, course. We'll bust the pitcher"

THINKS HOOVER WILL HAVE
 PLENTY OF WORK TO DO
Anchorage Times.


 There is a lot of work piled up for the new President of the United States, in the opinion of Dr. J. H. Romig, Fairbanks member of the Alaska Railroad sugical staff, who returned to Alaska on the last boat from an extended trip through the States. There has been too much in- fation of prices in recent years for the economic health of the country, tie Doctor thinks, and it is going to require -astute handling to restore conditions to an even keel without ! precipitating serious disturbance of the nations industrial and business affairs 1generally.
 Prices are too high, rentts are too ! high. and property is held at fictitious values. Labor is so costly in some branches of industry and interest rates 50 excessive that it is being found4increasingly difficult to finance new, building projects, and everywhere skilled labor has steady employment the cost of living is such that it is not-an easy matter to make both ends meet.
 Chain stores and big national sup ply, houses, which have ample capital to buy stocks in great quantity, have brought about lowering of prices in many localities, pr. Romig learned, but while helping the wage earner in one, way, the advent of the chain store, with it's centralized manage ment, has brought new and grave problems to thousands of communi- ties which have been built up by the earnings of their local enterprises. Independent merchants in large and small cities are finding it increasing ly difficult to survive the new chain store competition, and thoughtful people are wondering what will be the1result when these independents ultimately are forced from the field, as many of them already have been.
 There must be a readjustment of costs all along the line, nthe opinion of Dr. Romig, to put the country on a solid footing, where it can sell more of its products in foreign markets and d-.check the inward flow of foreign products. Dr. Romig was surprised to learn that tomatoes grown in Italy are3-being shipped into the United States and sold at lower prices than American grown tomatoes.
 The big trouble with American farming. Dr. Romig learned in his trip through the country, is that many of the farmers bought heir land when prices were abnormally high, appar- ently laboring under the delusion that farm products would continue indefinitely to, command wartime prices. They are finding now that it is not easy to make their highest priced land pay dividends and there are no buyers in the market to re- lieve them of their wartime pur- chases. The situation is doubly diff cult for those who obtained assistance from the bf e,s to buy their land. The

instances have an actual interest in the sum recovered for the claim. This, he pointed out, is in direct violation of the penal lawts.
