At Medford he stepped oft the train for a breath of fresh air, andl when the train pulled out he got on the wrong car and soon became wild. He recover ed and went to Central Point this morning.

JOB ALL THE TIME To the Editors of Oregon: Never have I witnessed anything like the publicity that has been glV' en by the newspapers of Oregon to the Red Cross membership cam paign. They have been generous of their space. They have taken a keen interest in all local phases of the campaign and in addition have tea' tured the purposes of the Red Cross and have set forth its achievements, At state headquarters we have a vast mass of clippings boxes full of thert all from Oregon newspapers. It has been a physical impossibility to go over all of them as yet. Also it has been impossible to make that inuividual acknowledgment which each editor deserves for the special co-operation he gave. Some of these individual acknowledgments have been made and before the end of the year we hope to get all -the clippings filed! and classified so that at least a word of appreciation may be sent to each newspaper. The people of Oregon are intense ly patriotic. The press of Oregon, by its editorials and news matter, lias, helped this patriotism express itself practically. Every undertaking sanc tioned by national authorities has been supported by the Oregon press. This publicity has encouraged thou sands of campaign workers in -the liberty loan, Red Cross,' Y. M. C. A., and other drives and has helped edu cate public opinion to the point where subscriptions are offered in a fine spirit of co-operation. , To the press is due much of the credit of the matchless record Ore gon has made in contributing men, money and materials to our country for the prosecution of our great war.
