Since his election to the city council he has recovered his lost laurels as a weath er prophet, for he prophesied a calm for the first meeting of that body, and then Saturday he told the Courier that "the Rogue valley is go ing to get a pretty fair fall of snow before this spell of weather Is over." The Courier did not use the forecast, for it got BUI In bad last summer when it made him say there was go ing to be rain, and all that happened was a slight sprinkle that did not satisfy the clamorlngs of a thirsty public. But Bill says a prophet is privileged to fall down once in a while, especially in dry weather, and points to the old saying that "all signs fall in a dry spell." Then to clinch the argument he calls atten tion to the sign across the front of a certain building on Sixth street where two-foot letters proclaim "In toxicating Liquors." The sign does not take the parch out of a single throat since the dry spell hit the community. f ANNUAL MEETLVG POSTPONED Notice is hereby given that the an nual meeting of the stockholders of Josephine County 'bank will be post poned from Tuesday afternoon, January 11, to Thursday afternoon, at three-thirty, January 13, 1916.

Dr. By water in ITiloaKo Dr. Ed Bywater writes to the Courier from Chicago expressing a desire to escape from the "windy city," which the doctor describes as living up to Its reputation. The weather is very cold, and the wind blowing strong enough to keep a man busy collecting his wearing apparel from the streets. He says, however, that business conditions in the east show a great improvement over 16 months ago when he was last there, with a Bpirlt of optimism everywhere. Mr. and Mrs. Bywater will return to Grants Pass on the 24 th of the pre sent month.

"IF MEN WEAR IT, WE I LAVE IT" LEAP YEAR GIVES TO GET HUBBIES VIEWS ON LEAP ' YEAK PROPOSALS f rit'a all right for girls to pro- 4- pose; girls ought to do anything f they can get away with." -Miss Lucille Pugh, woman lawyer. "Proposals by young women are all wrong; the American f girl wants to be won and the f American young man likes to f win her." Mrs, Julian Heath, president of the Housewives t league. 1 ' Kew York, Jan. 10.It' all right, boys. Cherished singleness will pot be endangored by American girls, even though It is leap year. Two New York women leaders toddy agreed on that point, .though they differed on the propriety of leap year proposals. Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the Housewives league, and Miss Lucille Pugh, comely young attor ney and suffragette, discussed the leap year question In interviews with the United Press. "I hope loap year proposals will not bocome the fashion' said Mrs. Heath. "I don't believe they are na tural and I'm afraid they would be terribly embarrassing to the young women. I can not believe American girls will ever do the proposing." "Do you hclleve a proposal by a young woman to bo Improper?" Mrs. Heath was asked. . "Highly Improper; utterly out of the question. The American girl, you know, wants to be won; she does not think of winning a husband. And the American young man Is mighty glad to win her." Miss Pugh could not aee any Im propriety in young women's pro posals, . , "I believe a girl ought to embrace every er opportunity she can," said Miss Pugh. "It's not improper at all. American girls ought to do anything they can get away with." THE MTUATION IN CHANTS PASS "Conscription lmponds, and 'Hlnclt- ers' are as stone befsro the dcmtinrls of patriotism. The call for uphold ing the honor of the hotno-lni falls upon doaf ears, and ovpn the besting of drums and blowing of buglcn on Christmas day Inspired but foiv, to Join the ranks. The enemy's forces are bolng rocrnltod faster than our ONES CHANCE own, and If this continues wo shall be crushed and overwhelmed by their force of numbera." This 1 not an appeal addressed to the British cabinet, but it may be the exhortation which will be presented before the llopofut Mamas' parlia ment in its quadrennial loap year ses sion. When governments find itip plication inadequate to Oil the broken ranks, more drastic measures are taken and men are drafted forth with. The local situation is critical, and well known names are among the "slackers" reported as most re calcitrant In Joining their brothers who have so valiantly written their names on the roll of heroes exposed to risk on the firing line. Among the heroes appear such noble family names as Smith, Paris, Dfn, Clarke. Van Dyke, Letcher, Calvert, Frye, Bratton, Heath, ad Infinitum. Rumor says the 1911 of the )J.
