THE BEE HIVE: , The Girls' National Honor Guard organization is in charge of the "Bmileage" campaignlu this city starting today and every patriotic citizen of the city is urged to' re spond liberally in thjs worthy pro ject. By purchasing a smileage book lor a soldier boy one is providing a big ray of sunshine in their turbu lent army existauce and it should be the patriotic duty of loyal Americans who have the welfare of 'the sons of Old Glory at heart to see that the latter are supplied with a smileage i boolc. The girls of the Honor Guard ! will sell these books about the streets i for the next few days and all those ' who do not have the opportunity of 'procuring one can obtain the little i "smile proviaer" at the office of the Commercial Abstract Co., from J. E. AlcClintock, who is looking aft er the interests of the smileage drive in Douglas county. In four short days, botween this and Thursday night, the people of Oregon are asked to donate the funds which will provide American soldier boys with no less than 100,000 ad missions to high class entertain ments, coining to their camps and cantonments under supervision of , the United States government. In nearly . every army camp the government has already provided one of the famous Liberty theatres, where the smileage entertainments will be presented. It has definitely, though indirectly, directed the arrangement and booking of troupes and attrac tions, to travel the circuit of these theatres. American citizens are ask ed to make it possible for every sol dier boy to enjoy the entertainments by providing the admission fee. This is being done through the pur chase and distribution of ?1 and $5 smileage books, made up of 5 cent coupons, since seats at the liberty shows are to cost but such nominal sums as 15, 20 and 25 cents. Officials of the drive areparticu larly desirous that no lone who has the inclination to add to the scant pleasures of tire- training or fighting soldier boy and a dollar, or two, or five or them, which they will contrib ute, shall neglect the pleasure be cause they do not have a relative or friend to whom to send the books. Provision has been made to get the ticket books not directed tq any par ticular soldier into the hands of some lad who would otherwise go without. about $500,000 from the measure it it goes through in its original form. A representative of the department of justice is. coming west to confer with the governor and attorney gen eral on the. matter, and Mr. Hawley is confident,' If a proper showing Is made, all of the money -may be sav ed for the state, . NOTICE TO DEBTORS. ' All persons knowing themselves Indebted to Simon Caro are urged to call and settle their accounts at once, otherwise they will be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. m7 SIMON CARO. & CITY NEWS m WHERE TO RENT Sewing machines, vacuum clean ers, -'at reasonable prices.

B. W. STRONG, fl9 The Furniture Man. LOST IN THE SHUFFLE What has become of Medford's home guard? says the Medford Sun. When we had a county full of sol diers, and the city was alive with young men of military age, there was a home guard drilling every night or so; now without a soldier within three or four hundred miles, there is not a sign of guard, or gun or even a manual of arms. If a squad of I. W. W. terrorists, with a load of dynamite, came down from the Siskiyous and requested all the bank deposits In the city, there would be a couple of policemen and a sheriff in Jacksonville to oppose them. If conditions on the coast should suddenly make it imperative to guard the railroad tunnels and bridges again, or look ' after our water supply, nothing could be done hereabouts until outside help came in. If Medford ever needed a home guard it seems to us, the need is now. A well drilled company of twenty men, fully armed, would be of tre mendous value to the city, in case of any emergency whether it be inva sion, riof or merely fire. - We are short man power. It would seem only common prudence to make what man power we have available in case of need. '.There in no cause for alarm. The war will probably end without any distur bances within 3,000 miles of the Rogue river valley. .But far better to be safe than be sorry. As the war happens to look interminable today, It would seem only common sense to revive what means of defense we originally possessed. It could do no harm and it might do a' very great deal of good.

Highest quality foods at the low est prices at the Roseburg Cafe teria, tf AND NOW TKEY ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER For a good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments having' asr their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. And it is interesting to know hat one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that coohing or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette, and offered them to the public. The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similarlength of time. . The change produced by toasting is not , only most wholesome, but ihe liavor ia j greatly improved, just a3 cooking improves , meat, for example. i Mixed Feed The largest amount of good feed for the.leu.st money, consisting of ground Corn, Ground Outs, Bran, Shorts, Soya Bean Meal, Linseed Meal and Ground Wheat. 90 lb.
