Army and Navy News
Letters from the members of the
65th regiment of Oregon Coast Ar
tillery have heached relatives in this
city, which details the glad news that
the boys have arrived safely oveseas.
Communication is of the briefest,,
however, especially in the first let
ters, as the Ashland boys, 'realizing
the anxiety of their parents to hear
from them, have been particularly
careful about what they write in or
der that the letters will not be with
held by the censors. Among the late
letters from Europe is one from Har
old Simpson in which' he merely
states that they are somewhere In
Kurope, but leave much to conject
ure as to their whereabouts. As the
65th has had no heavy artillery train
ing It is thought the regiment will
not be sent to the front for some
time yet.
Patriotism seems to burn brightly
In the Wolcott family. Sergeant H.
G. Wolcott of the Oregon Coast Ar
tillery and his two older sons went
cut with the 1st company when It
left this city last July, leaving Phil,
17 years old, to be the head of the
family at home. Phil Is 18 now, an1
has felt the 'call of his country too
strongly to resist. The following ap
peared In the Portland Telegram one
day last week, in regard to this young
lad,, who has Joined the colors: "Phil
A. Wolcott, aged 18, came down from
Ashland this morning in order to
beat his father and his two brothers
tc France. And to that end he en
listed in the regular army at recruit
ing headquarters at Third and Oak
streets. The father and two brothers
are stationed at Fort Stevens in the
coast artillery."
Soldiers' Letter
Mrs. Anna Erickson Is in receipt
of the following letter from her son,
Sergeant A. E. Erickson, of Battery
C, 65th Artillery, A.E.F.:
"My Dear Mother: I wrote you a
letter yesterday, but may Is so un
certain that I don't know whether
yqu will get it or not. We arrived
here safely after a hard trip across
the ponjl. This is a very beautiful
country, everything Id so old and
quaint. We had a very Interesting
ride across this, foreign land after
we got off the boat, on one of their
quaint trains. We never get to see
a newspaper any more.
'.'Write me and tell me the latest
news, as everything is censored here
We don't know what is going on In
the outside world. We are at a rest
camp again, but we don't get muck
rest. I can't write much on account
of the censorship. I could surely tell
you folks a lot of Interesting things,
I am in the best of health now after
my seasickness. We are having a
lots of fun with the foreign money,
They won't take good old U. S. money
here, and we are scared to take theirs
afraid that both sides will get the
worst of It. Will write again in a
day or so. With loving regards to
all, Your loving son,
"ARTHUR."
MORE STOCK ALLOWED
GRAZING FACILITIES
District Forester George H. Cecil
of Portland announces that the total
numbers of cattle, horses, sheep and
goats authorized to graze on the na
tional' forests of Oregon and Wash
ington during the season of 1918 are
202,950 head of cattle and horses
and 1,206,800 head of sheep and
goats, an Increase of 16,810 cattle
and horses and 44,220 sheep and
goats over the figures for 1917.
This increase in cattle Is due -to
increased carrying capacity of the
range, while the Increase in sheep
is made possible by the discovery of
new ranges and readjustment of the
boundaries on the old ranges. Be
cause of war conditions and a heavy
demand for meat and wool, extra
stock was grazed last year to the
extent of 19,478 head of cattle and
29,102 head of sheep over 1916. The
Increase In cattle authorizations for
the last four years has been 70,000
headr
It is the desire of the forest serv
ice that ranges be used at this time
to the extreme limit of their carry
ing capacity. In addition to the in
crease in the number of stock run
on the ranges there has been an in
crease in value: due v to improved
grade of animals turned on the
range. Stock growers and the for
est service co-operate ,to bring about
better range conditions, both as con
cerns the range Itself and the grade
of stock carried. Well-blooded stock
use no more range than scrubs, and
bring much larger returns on the
market.

People's Forum
' Ashland Slackers
"Auntie and I ore doing son.otr.lng

writes Edwin Klrktfatrick, a retired
Nebraska farmer and nrotfcer of J
M. Klrkpatrick of this city. "Wo

tutes. But it Is all right if we can
only get the kaiser licked. Wish we
had some of your fine Ashland ap
ples. They are retailing here at 10c
a pound.'
The above Is commended to the re
tired men of Ashland, who refuse to
help in patriotic work. Here the
burden of selling Liberty bonda and
doing similar service falls upon
young and middle aged men who are
forced to work hard for a living.
Most of those who are Independent
ly wealthy seem content to sit around
and growl at the way things are done,
Instead of lending a helping hand.
Their long experience with men and
money admirably fits them for this
sort of public service. Whtft moral
rlghthave they to stand back and
force the burden onto those less able
to bear it? Time is money and al
truistic work should be done by those
who have the most of these commodi
ties to spare.
' In New York and three other
eastern states a recent law compels
every able-bodied man, rich as well
as poor, to have some regular, produc
tive employment. We need such a
law in Oregon.
The other day a tired housewlfo
who had been laboring for hours in
the Ashland Red Cross room com
plained bitterly of the idle men in
a nearby pool room. In Minneapolis
the pool rooms, which take the place
of saloons as centers of vice and
crime in prohibition states, were raid
ed and a thousand slackers rounded
up. In Eugene a committee of One
Hundred warned all idle men to keep
off the streets during the war.
Speaking ' of ' slackers; what
about orchardlsts who are cultivating
trees which have never borne a pro
fitable crop and never will? There
are thousands of acres of such or
chards in the Rogue river valley oc
cupylng land which should be produc
ing grain and hay. These fruit trees,
useless cumberers of the soli, are
kept alive for the sole purpose of be
ing used for "sucker bait", the own
ers hoping to sell them to people
who are unacquainted with their use-
lessness. ' Is this right? A compe
tent commission should condemn or
chards which are and always will be
hopelessly unprofitable and order the
land planted to those crops of whlcn
there Is a scarcity.

A Business Should be
as Big as Its Job
If bigness is of benefit to the public it
should be commended.
The size of a business depends upon the needs which that
business is called upon to serve. A business should be at big
as its job. You do not drive tacks with a pile-driver or piles
with a tack-hammer.
Swift & Company's growth has been the natural and
inevitable result of national and international needs.
Large-scale production and distribution are necessary
to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by-products,
and to distribute them over long distances to the
consuming centers of the East and abroad.
Only an organization like that of Swift & Company, with its
many packing plants, hundreds of distributing houses, and thou
sands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the
varying seasonal supplies of live stock, and meet the present
war emergency by supplying, without interruption:
First The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as
much as 800 carloads of meat products in a single weekl
Second The cantonments in the United States.
Third The retailers upon whom the American public depends
for its daily supply of meat.
But many people ask Do producers and consumers pay
too much for the complex service rendered ?
Everyone, we believe, concedes the efficiency of the Swift
& Company organization in performing a big job in a big way
at a minimum of expense.
Swift & Company's total profit in 1917 was less than 4
cents on each dollar of sales of meat and by-products. Elim
ination of this profit would have had practically no effect on
live stock and meat prices.
Do you believe that this service can be rendered for less
by any other conceivable method of organization or operation?
