Women Help Win the War An illustrated article in the Sun-'tnat day Portland Oregonian dated from Medford gives an Interesting account ot how some Jackson county women are helping the country In the cause of war by taking up the work of the j men who have left 'the farms and i business places in answer to their I country's call. While the following ! account is a most interesting story of women's work, it is not by any means a notable exception: "When Paul Paulson and Charley Mattlney, bakers of this city, went to war, their places were taken by Miss Ruby Wilcox and Miss Grace Kensch elow. What Misses Kenschelow and Wilcox did, hundreds of other Jack son count"' women and girls have done since the war began, and re doing now, Because of the labor shortage duo to the war, they have picked and packed fruit, sprayed, pruned, threshed grain, driven trucks. cultivated, and after the next rain nt ! least one woman will do the fall nlow Dig. She is Mrs. J. E. Bodge, the 'Barley Queen.' Mrs. Bodee does not like publicity, Nor does she like to have her picture taken. A story might be written about the diplomacy required to obtain the photographs of this unusually capable and remark able woman farmej, who gets a bet ter price for her barley than any oth w farmer or farmerette In the Rogue River valley. Mrs. Bodge is not rais ing barley for her health. She did not make her money in the city so ahe could spend it in the country. It In not a 'stunt' with her. She has to make her living on her farm, and after several years she has decided that the only way to make a living Is to live like a farmer. And she does live like a farmer. She 'gets up be fore the sunrise and she works all dary, retiring, figuratively speaking, with the chickens. She lives alone In a dream of a bungalow designed by herself, her daughter Is at board ing school in New England, and.

Buyers Don't Wait To Pay Loan On November 15, which was the date on which the first installment on Liberty loan bonds was due, ap proximately $2,400,000,000 was paid in, although less than a third of that amount was due.

Automobile Talk Most Mishaps Due to Selfishness. Carelessness "and In some cases ig norance are the causes of most auto mobile accidents." There Is one way to correct this, and that is through education Perhaps one of the best methods of educating a motorist to avoid accidents is to cite cases that have already happened.

It may save many a blowout and it will certainly surprise a few who thought they knew how to care for their tires during warm weather. It has been the cus tom of many motorists during the summer months to deflate their tires. This is a mistake, according to T. II. Wilkinson, chief of the United States Tire Company, after a thorough study of the situation. "If anything," he says, "put in more air. Take, for in stance, a four-inch tire1. Put in 80 pounds and it will not expand In the hot weather more than a pound or so because that 6ize tire is made for 20 pounds to the Inch. But take the tire that Is deflated and see what happens. There is a great deal of friction in the casing, and this fric tion causes expansion. In the even ing the coolness sends the pressure down, and as a result the pressure is constantly changing, which is the worst possible thing for a tire." Wisconsin Calims One Auto for Every Fifteen Folk. Wisconsin entered a claim recently to sixth place in the per capita own ership of automobiles in the United States. A total of 160,000 motor driven vehicles was reported. Tak ing the Census Bureau's population estimate for January 1, 1917,' as a basis, this would place the ratio for the state at one automobile to every 15.7 persons. Michigan probably would dispute the Washington claim, for its total registration on July 1, 1917, Indicated a motor car to every 16.3 persons', whereas Wisconsin at that time had only one to every 17.7. Illinois, with 320,000 cars, now has one to every 19.4 persons. The state was credited with tenth place on the per capita list for the first six months of the year, but the extraordinarily large number of registrations since July 1 probably would give it a high er rank now.
