NOW 8EG FOR WATER
Medford. Sept. 15. The case of
two farmers owning property near
Talent, is deserving or attention.
These two men declined to list their
farms under the proposed Irrigation
district when it was being formed.
Later they put their properties on
the market. Prospective buyers
looked both over and in both in
stances bought other land which had
been put Into the district.
Noting the loss of these sales, the
two men applied for water ' under
the district and were informed thai
the list had been cloned and that
they could hare water only In case
the supply was more than ample for
the lands which had come into the
district at first. Both men have
filed applications for water when
available. '

There is no doubt that Germany Is
lalready preparing to recapture
Italy's trade after the war. A firm
in Milan, which used to deal with
a Nuremberg toy factory, has been
advised by the latter that as they
are prevented by the war from serv

have made arrangements with firm
in Madrid which Is taking their place
temporarily. Bvery facility is of

It Is interesting to note that the
paper shortage, which Is felt nearly

press. The "Berliner Tageblatt" for
Instance contains 36 pages of com

From these Indications it Is ap
