NEW POLICY FOR GERMAN
MANCFACTVREH8
German manufacturers are plan
ning to rehabilitate their world trade
by "a new policy" according to a let
tor In the Deutscher Handel Warte of
Nuremburg. - It contemplates noth-
Jng less, he saya, than abandonment
of tha "Hooding of foreign countries
with trashy goods."
Admitting that the outlook for
' German export Is "unfortunate," in
lew of the progress In manufactur
ing made by Japan, America, Eng
land and other countries, the belief
1s expressed that those nations are
o busy trying to increase their in
dustrial production that they are
(becoming lax in the matters of beau
ty, quality and price..
"America seeks to drive Germany
from the world markets." says the
article. "The entente concerns Itself
also with working against our ex
ports in neutral countries. Yet all
this cannot scare us. It is thereby
made clear what boundless esteem
exists for German manufcturers in
enemy countries. The goods which
re best, most beautiful and cheapest
will find their way into other lands."

MEETING CALLED FOR
ALL EX-SERVICE MEN
THEATRE ON TUESDAY
The improvement ot Riverside
Park has been under consideration
for some weeks by the park com
mission, but the lack of funds has
been a serious drawback. The bath
bouse Is self-sustaining and last year
turned a few dollars back into the
city treasurer, but the sum was not
sufficient to make any improve
ments. A fund has ben raised' by
the bath house committee for need
ed enlargement of the house but the
park improvement is not provided
for. The city administration appro
priates sufficient funds for mainten
ance only. It remains for the park
commission to gather an improve
ment fund.
Among the improvements con
templated Is (he thinning out of the
dense underbrush at the water's edge
between the bridge -and bath house,
the supplying of additional much
needed tables and the placing of
more rustic benches.
In order to start a park fund. Miss
Wolke will on Tuesday give a bene
fit at the Oregon Theatre Tuesday
night, when Blllie Burke will be
the attraction In "Let's Get a Di
vorce." The entire niX proceeds of
the evening will be turned over to
the park Improvement fund. Miss
Wolke states the filling ot every
seat in the house tor the two shows
that night would net $75. An effort
should be made-to crowd both shows.

being a great help to service men In
advising them and helping them
take advantage ot the differeut ways
In which the government offers to
help the discharged soldier, help
ing them get good positions to which
they are suited, helping to get the I
bonus, extra travel pay, and unpaid
allotments, giving advic e on the gov
ernment Insurance and in many oth
er ways.
If Grants Pass succeeds In perman
ently organizing and maintaining a
post, it will enable the ex-service
men ot tbls vicinity to get the bene-1
iiu ot tne organization all over the
country. The purposes and working
methods of the Legion will be ex
plained at the meeting Tuesday
night.
Mr. Johnson says be hopes very
much that a large attendance of sail
ors, soldiers and marines will be had
All persons wbo were In the mili
tary or naval service of the United
States during the late war cannot af
ford to miss a meeting to be held In
the Grants Pass chamber ot corn
merce. corner of Sixth and H streets,'
Tuesduy night. This meeting U

Insurance and allotments will be ex
plained to you. Matters needing ad
justment will be taken up personally

Not ( only does the American leg
ion attend to these things, but the
organisation plans to be real, live
social organization during the com
ing season. Grants Pass is the last
city to organize and It Is up to u to
show the world that Hot only did
we send more than our full quota
but that we are not going to lay
down when the country needs the
assistance of every red-looded citi
zen. For God and country we as
sociate ourselves to foster 100 per
rent Americanism. This means that
we are going to fight until the Inst
dog Is hung, everything that has the
Hun trademark or the graft of any
class on It.
You owe It to yourself to be there
and assist In the good work.

It remains rather difficult tor the
traveler on the water to get oft and
walk when he wearies of the boat.
Jt is going to be different with the
air passenger. He may open up his
parachute and descend to earth any
time he wishes.
Parachuting to earth from balloons
Is nothing new. Neither is it par
ticularly difficult or daring under
proper conditions. But parachuting
from a awiftly moving airplane Is
'more dangerous, and requires more
.i-.t,e for the initial Jump, although
in time it will probably seem as safe
and tame as descending from the top
story of a tall building in a well reg
ulated elevator.
The para'chute is the aerial navi
gator's life preserver. His machine
may crash to earth while the aviator
glides slowly and safely down with
his parachute. There are other up-
.. to date uses for this old device. De
liverings of mail and other packages
can be made while the plane con
tinues on its way in the air. There
was the crate of eggs that was wafted
gently to earth with the .grace and
lightness of a feather or a falling
leaf. And there was the member of
the R-34's crew who descended to
the landing field from the sky in
order to superintend tho anchoring
of the big airship.
Comparative safety must be as
sured If the airplane is to develop
fully. In this the parachute will
be a great help.

Fair Proposition But
Nothing Doing
Under the above beading the Santa Anna (Cal.) Kr
ister tells of an experience of another publication in its
section of the state. The facts furnish their own com
mentary. ,
The wind bloweth where it listeth
And no answer cometh
Neither cometh the wood or corn or the 'tatcis or
the eggs or the bacon
Some days ago, a good, liberal, loyal, generous, broad
minded citizen of one of the "cow counties" 'wrote the
. local weekly paper that he wanted to subscribe for it dur
ing 1919 and get the county news, and would send in his
. subscription if the paper would be sent him at the old
price (the price has of necessity been advanced from $1
to $1.50). .
"We immediately wrote him," says the editor, "we
would accept his proposition provided he would bring us
a cord of wood, a barrel of corn, a bushel of sweet potatoes
a basket f eggs, or a side of bacon at the price he got fbr
these commodities five or six years ago, when there was
some profit in publishing a newspaper at $1 a year. ,
' 1 4 Seven long days have passed and no wood, no com,
no 'taters, no 'eggs, no bacon. . '
"He couldn't afford to do it. Yet he was generous en
ough to ask us to send him the paper for $1 and make him
a present of 50 cents, Of all the 35,285 people in the
county this kindly disposed individual is the only one
with gall enough to ask us to send the paper at the ojd
price and we do not believe there is another in the whole
county." ; , . '
Every user of a telephone who stops to think knows
that he would be paying an inadequate rate now if he was
not paying substantially more than he vas before the
