CONTRACTS CHANGED ON IRRIGATION PROJECT The contract to build the canal for the Gold Hill Irrigation District was not considered feasible by the bond holders, as It was thought too many unforeseen circumstances might arise for economy. J. D. Neale representative of the Lumberman's Trust Company, the bond holders, suggested that the work be coniplet ed under contracts stipulating a fixed orlce and time, and this plan was adopted by thfe board of directors Th following contracts have been given out: F. S. Carter, builder of the head works for the canal, has been award ed the contract to finish the ditch as far as Kanes creek. Tom R. Pearce has the contract for completing the engineering of the project and lias secured the as slstance of John Duhuls. James Anderson holds a contract for hillside and rock work near the flumes. Toney Ross was awarded a con tract for excavation at Rock Point. A contract will be let In the near future for the completion of all re malnlna work below the last con tractor's work. It is estimated that the project will bte completed on May 1. Washington. The trend toward better agricultural education Is no where reflected more clearly than in the work of the fedoral board for vocational education among the dis abled soldiers, sailors and marines. The number of boys who have been raised oa farms of the non-progressive type la considerable, and a large proportion of them now desire to re ceive specialized education in order that they may go back to the old home place, pull It out of the hap hazard rut and put It on a paying basis. The sights these boys have seen In France where the thrifty French farmer has brought Intensive culti vation to a science to where almost unbelievable amounts are raised on small acreage have undoubtedly made a strong Impression upon our returned soidjlers. They have de cided after all, scientific agriculture and management, at which the av erage farmer is inclined to scoff, really is something of actual value. Many of these men are badly dis abled and will never again be able to rely upon brute strength, which before the war was their chief and only asset. They have now become convinced that mere strength does not amount to much and that It is the expert knowledge and ability to direct which does count most great ly. This education Is given them ab solutely free by the United States government. They are sent to the best agricultural schools In the coun try, paid a supply allowance o $65 a month while purusing their stud les, and all other expenses are de frayed by the federal board. The board is especially anxious to get In touch with farm boys who have re turned and found themselves unable to make progress without special training, and all letters of inquiry are welcomed by the board, the ad drees of which la Washington, D. C. It has been designated by congress to have entire charge of the voca tloual re-education and replacement of disabled soldiers, sailors and ma rines. Hotel Austin Barber Shop N. C. BATES, Prop.

NEW HIGHWAY TO ELIMINATE ROBERTS MOUNTAIN GRADE According to the superintendent of the road construction of the new cut off on the Pacific highway south of Roseburg, about nine mllos of the new road will be ready for travel this season. This new road lias us beginning near Winston, and goes south along the banks of the South Umpqua river to near Dillard where the road crosses the river and then re-crosses about three miles further on, and continues to Myrtel Creek, completely eliminating Roberts mountain. This is one of the finest pieces of road improvement In the county, as Roberts mountain has been a great menace to tourist travel, and the many accidents, some fatal, that have occurred on this hill make this a dreaded section of the highway. It will entirely eliminate all the grade, and the road will be in readiness for travel as soon as the season opens. Other improvements are being made In Cow Creek canyon, Canyon Creek canyon, and near the town of Glen dale. A new bridge will be built ever Cow Creek about three miles from Glendale and the new cutoff will take what is. known as the old Stage Coach road,' which will elimin ate another bad hill. This, with oth er Improvements now under way, will make Douglas county roads as good as any in the state, where it has been in the past a country-wide Baying that "Douglas county has the worst roads in the state" and probably in the west. Pass Creek canyon and Roberts mountain are the two great menaces to travel. With both these eliminat ed and many other grades reduced, as well as about 15 railroad cross ings eliminated, this county will be fairly safe to travel thru. This how- over, is some task as the county Is 126 miles In length, and road con struction, of the right kind, Is hard to get. GOLD STRIKE REPORTED FOUND ON THOMPSON CREEK A strike of gold bearing quartz has been discovered by two miners of Thompson creek, who hove samples on display. The ledge is purported to be 18 feet wldfc. A 100 foot tunnel has been driven and a shaft sunk 30 feet where ore rank ing from $10 to $40 a ton has been discovered. The mine is on Thomp son creek, on former railroad land and the miners are convinced thai sufficient ore Is In sight to Justify the erection of a mill. NEW THRIFT PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHED A broader field for thrift propa ganda this year than the mere selling of stamps has been chosen by the national war savings organization, and its district and state branches Thousands of workers are Instruct ed, it was announced, to preach prac tlcal reasons tor intelligent saving, wise spending, avoidance of waste and safe investment. Here are some of the mottoes sug gested for thrift promotion: "Debts are the poorest spectacles thru which to read advertising col umns. "Look before or you will find yourself behind." BenJ. Franklin. "Intelligent saving looks to fu ture wise spending and Is, therefore! postponed enjoyment.. "Money Is eel-like; war savings stamps sand will hold on to it. "Real merchandising service as slsts the customer to get what he re ally needs. "Owners of war savings stamps have a definite stake In their nation, which makes for practical citizen ship. "Which Is the better citizen? The thrl(ter or tho drifter?" As the result of the Prohibition bomb shell, the casualty lists are ex pected now to report Tom and Jerry among the missing. The Germans can't Bit at the peace table, but If they, are very humble they may be permitted to come in by and by and decide whether they will have their crow boiled, fried or roasted.

Phone 20 AVOID TROUBLE WITH FORD IN COLD WEATHER "Ford owners could save them selves a lot of trouble In cold weath er if they would only use a good, zero cold test oil of light body re fined from California crude," salJ Mr. W. E, Walker, for the Standard Oil Company, in discussing cold weather lubrication yesterday. "In the Ford motor, the clutch Is combined with the engine and lubri cated from the crank case, if the oil gets thick and sluggish in cold weather, the discs of the clutch stick together. This Is what causes hard cranking and that persistent creeping forward as If the clutch were partly engaged. "Zerolene Light as refined from California crude of the naphthene series has a natural zero cold test, It flows freely down to zero tempera ture. It does not become stiff ana sluggish because It contains no par affins to congeal and thicken in cold weather. When such oil is used there is no trouble with bard cranking, inefficient lubrication or sticky clutch." WHEAT AND SHEEP GAIN DAIRY HERDS 'DECREASE Winter wheat acreage In Oregon Is greater than last year In most of 25 counties replying to questionnaire of J. W. Brewer, federal and O. A. C. farm help specialist, and greater than normal in all. Nearly all re port an Increase in sheep, but most show a material decrease in dairy stock. A sufficient or surplus labor sup ply Is Indicated in nearly all coun ties, but Tillamook, Lake, Lincoln and Malheur report a shortage. Four counties favor fixing a wage scale, five oppose it, while others are not sure. Some that had good results last year think conditions do not warrant repeating the policy. Wages of $50 to $75 a month are current, but no report on probable spring and harvest wages could be obtained. PRE-WAR POSITIONS NOT SATISFACTORY TO MANY "Against the effects of demobil ization, cessation of government or ders for war work In the spruce di vision camps, etc., and the addition of new workers to the labor market we have three great remtedles tho necessity for reconstruction work. revival of private buying and the re vlval of foreign trade," said Federal Director Smith, United States em ployment service, recently. According to Mr. Smith all peace time stocks are low, and as mer chants are rapidly regaining conft dence-he expects revival of demand for labor thru replenishment of stocks. " . Oregon has appropriated $100,000 to aid In creating employment for discharged service men.' ' This will help materlully. "What sort of employment do you wish?" This Is the first question asked the average applicant when he ap plies at the United States employ ment office. To this question the majority tfeply: "Oh, 1 duhno. What cha got? Discharged soldiers, sailors and marines generally want better Jobs than they held down- before the war. which speaks well for thblr ambi tion. If each man knew what he wanted and what he is fitted for it would be much easier to find work for him.

LOW SCHOOL ATTENDANCE MAY COME FROM TRUANCY The monthly Teports from the var ious schools of the county invariably show a dlscouraglngly low percent age In attendance. This Is no doubt due almost entirely to the epidemic which raged In some of the districts. However, since every known precau tion is being taken and after due deliberation on the part of board members and teachers, schools have been opened, it would seem that keeping children out for fear of the Influenza especially where no Influ enza exists, Is hardly a legitimate excuse. The county superintendent requests teachers to make an effort to get all children back Into school, and where teachers are satisfied that the Compulsory Education Law Is not being complied with, they will make the necessary reports as now required by law. C. E. Terrlll, county sheriff, has been appointed probation officer of the Juvenile Court of Jackson Coun ty, and besides enforcing the child labor laws he will act as County Tru ancy Officer for all school districts except Medford and Ashland, which have special truancy officers. Labor can't come down because prices are so high, and prices can't come down because labor costs so much. . . Weekly HealtlTTalksl A WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS BT DOCTOB WATSON. . ; t People are easily frightened when they think something is the matter with their lungs or heart, and well they may be; but few people understand the dangers of diseased kidneys.
