Harrington In the chair. A good representation from which made a deep and lasting iru presslon on all who beard It. The Queen Esthers, composed of young ladies of Jacksonville, ren dered the song, "Somebodj Knows," very charmingly, and followed it with a dialogue, "Mite-Box Convention," which showed how the mite-boxes the auxiliaries in the district were, are sometimes treated by their pos present, Medford being in the lead with 22 delegates present. After the devotional exercises, which were conducted by Rev. Rum mell, Mrs. Davis of Jacksonville gave the welcome address, whir'i was re sponded to by a lady from Ashland. Reports from auxiliaries nt Grants Pass, Ashland, koseburp. Talent, Sled ford and Jacksonville were heard and interchange of ideas in regard to Increasing interest 'in the meet ings, and other important subjects, formed Interesting topics for discus sion. Miss Leigh, the national field secretary for the Woman's Home Mis sionary Society, was then presented, and for a lengthy time she held the sessors, and afforded amusement as well as benefit, as the truth was bo keenly 'portrayed. The Queen Es thers are quite a factor In home missionary work. Last jear they were asked to give $50,000 to the cause, and gave $53,000. It was urged upon the auxiliaries to organ ize these societies for the young. If they are kept busy doing something to upbuild character there will be no time for evil doing.

As rlngton. she laid before them the alms, needs and the doings of the work in all parts of the United States, none who heard her forceful, soul-stirring talks could fail to be inspired with an intense desire to do more for the Master. Among the chiWren, the youth, young ladies, and the various other departments of home mission ary work none need be idle. "The harvest is white and reapers are needed." Great stress was laid upon the necessity of being better in formed about the work, and earnest, L. Recording Secretary Mrs. D, McXary. Corresponding Secretary Mrs. L. D. Hood. Treasurer Mrs. Smylle.

It is Impossible in this article to specialize each number on the excellent prro gram which was carried out In every detail, not a singie disappointment, and the pithy, well-prepared papers on important subjects, such as tith ing, systematic benevolences, mite boxes, etc, all deserve praise, but the one which seemed to be especially appreciated was "Gleanings From the Parliament," by Mrs. L. D. Hood of Grants Pass, and was character ized by a spiritual uplifting force, WAS WiLS0NBUNC0ED? La Follette Says Interests Put One Over on President In Selection of Official. Madison, Wis., April It. Excep tion to President Wilson's appoint ment of John Skelton Williams of Virginia as assistant secretary of the treasury is taken by Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin today In a signed editorial in the current Issue of La Foilette's Weekly. This Is the first criticism La Follette has made of any of the democratic ap pointments. The editorial rays: "Now, more than a month after March 4, men are asking If members of the interlocking directorates are to secure a strangle hold on the treasury department during the Wil son administration. Until a few days ago it was officially announced that Robert Wooley of Virginia would be named as assistant secretary. Wooley is an able, scholarly gentleman, a student of finance and a publicist who has supported progressive 'Meas ures. "In one of his magazine articles Mr. Wooley reviewed the operations of the real f-.rtate ring of Washing ton and the connection of O. C. Glover with these operations. Glo ver is president of the Riggs Na tional Bank, a 'system' bank. Either Glover or sonn one with similar in terests persuaded President Wilson to appoint Wiiltams. Williams has qualifications which would be rec ognized anywhere In Wall street as admirably fitted to him for the po sition. "It is believed the president has been imposed upon. Let him beware of such influences. The special In terests never bleep." PROSPECTSARE BRIGHT Promoters Report That Grants Pass. Crescent City Road is Now Practically Financed.

Railroad and college men were the principal speak ers in the second day's session of the First National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits, which is being held herre. B. F. Yoakum of New York city, chairman of the board of directors of Fr'.co lines: President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago; C. W. Thomp son of Minneapolis, director of the bureau of economic research of the University of Minnesota, and Con gressman Hatton W. Summers of Texas were among the more promi nent on the program. Yoakum was unable to be present, but his address was read. It was in part: , "Agriculture and transportation have laid the foundation which has made this the greatest and most powerful nation of the world. They are the biggest factors In America in' growth. Since 1905 our population has increased 16 per cent. The value of-farm products was 51 per cent more in 1912 than it was in 1905, while railroads was 4u per cent less. "There are now not more than 1,000 miles of new railroad under construction It would require the construction of 16,000 miles of addi tional railroad to furnish the same transportation facilities west of the Mississippi irver that there are east of it, on the basis of area. That great area of rich country cannot grow as it should on 1,000 miles per annum of new'y built railroads." Yoakum's paper said ha believed in the readjustment of the tariff, but declared that if congress should wipe out the tariff on every article that is brought into this country on last year's collections, it would amount only to $326,000,000, while the waste which falls upon the farmers of the nation means an annual loss of over five times the entire amount collected by our revenue collectors. President Judson presided at the round table discussion and luncheon at noon, while the subject, "Why is thp farmer not effectively organ ized?" was discussed. J. H. Page of Arkansas also discussed the subject from various standpoints. "What May Be Expected From the Federal Government" -was the sub ject to be taken up aurina; the after noon by W.

The conversation turneJ to Dro- posals of marriage and several of those present were laughir.elv won dering if any man ever got on his knees to ask a girl to share his joys, sorrows and Balary, when Rem-esent- ative Campbell of Kansiis .gently pried his way into the gabiest. "There seems to be ono man in Kansas who really did the kneeling act," smilingly remarked the repre sentative. "He called on the joy of his life one evening last week, and as soon as the parlor was cleared for action he started to propose. "'Darling,' he passionately creid. throwing hlmselg on Ms knees before her and rolling his eyes toward the ceiling, 'beloved dearest, can't you see,' can't you guess that I love you?' " 'Well,' was the rather chilling response of the girl as she gazed at the agitated youth before her. 'I would hate to think that this is Just your natural way of actlne; before company.' "Philadelphia Telegraph. Phone No. 39 when In need of Job printing. Work and prices are right, Guaymas, Mexico, April 11. John Keslow of San Francisco and Wil liam Corrie of Los Angelea, two sail ors on the United States cruiser Cal ifornia, are dead here today and three of their shipmates seriously wounded, following a street fight in Mazatlan Wednesday night. Several Mexican policemen were wounded In trying to arrest the sallr.rs. The affair Is being investigated by Ad miral Cowles, commander of the Pacific fleet, who is here with the flagship California. He has sent a full. account of the affair to the navy I department at Washington. Washington, April 11. Attention of the state department, which has lately been given vexatious problems arising from the wounding of Ameri can soldiers and other American citi zens on the Mexican border, was di rected today to a serious condition resulting from the slaying of a petty officer and a sailor of the California at Guaymas. A strict Investigation is being made of the shooting done by the chief of police of Guaymas, and as American sailors going ashore In a foreign country Invariably go unarmed, the officials here will insist the circum stances of the slaying be probed to the bottom. If the Mexican authorities are un able to show provocation for the at tack serious results may ensue. It was pointed out a double killing might be taken as an indication of the inadequateness of the present government and have an influence when the United States gives further consideration to the recognition of the Huerta government. Keeps the Wheels Roving SOMETHING broken down? Maybe it's the plough or the mowing machine. What's to be done? Delay means loss. The nearest 6upply depot may be miles away. It may be that tho necessary part can only be obtained in some distant city. The Bell Service does the work. The farmer gets into quick communication with the dealer and shipment is made without delay. No wonder tho enterprising farmer regards the Bell Service as an essential to success.

Two cracksmen dynamited the safe of the Star Mercantile Company at Rogue River at 3 o'clock Friday morning and escaped with $150 in cash. Officers north and south are on the lookout for the men while Deputy Sheriff Sandry with a posse are on the trail of the men. They made their getaway on a railroad speeder stolen from the section house. The men made a thorough job of cracking the safe. They fired four charges of dynamite after piling mattresses over and about the safe. The explosions completely wrecked the strong box, its door being blown a distance of 20 feet. Windows in the store were shattered and goods jarred, from the shelves. J. W. Jacobs, who formerly owned the store, heard the explosions and set about an Investigation." He soon determined that the store was being robhed and immediately went for help, summoning Sam Sandry. When they had returned to the scene the men had left. The cracksmen were traced to the Rogue River depot, where they stole a speeder and escaped. It was first believed they had gone south, but a tramp later in the" day stated that a speeder had passed him about 3:30 o'clock going north. Word was dispatched at once up and down the line and officers noti fied to keep a lookout for the two men. No description wa secured, the only thing left behind being a searchlight which they overlooked in their hurry. Concrete Building of Oyster Shells. .
