But to the bystander, one of the parties con cerned was in the wrong. It is al ways the bystander’s testimony that counts in a trial. Every day hundreds of people lav^ themselves open to injury. The pe-, destrian swears that he has as much right on the street as tbe autoist and the autoist swears likewise. Each has a perfect right to be on the street but a place is designated for each “Jaywalking." the common name for crossing the street at any point, is just as bad as catting corners with an automobile, The autoist is bound to be careful at the regular crossing*. ■ In Grants Pass all the traffic is con-' gested in one thoroughfare and it makes it nearly as bad at times as a city. One never thinks of “jay walking" in a city, so why do it here? Grants Pass is no longer a country town. We may not have street cars, but traffic is exceptionally heavy. The large number of auto accidents in the past fsw days is proof of thto. If accidents are to be cut down every- one must do his share, The quee- tion of responsibility may some day be fixed on you. THE STATE GUARANTEE The state guarantee of interest on the bond issue of the irrigation dis trict relieves the farmer and land owner of the burden of providing money to pay the tax while getting hie land in shape to produce. Pro duction comes only after the hind has been cleared and made ready for ■water. During this period of non production, the farmer would be hampered in getting the laud ready to produce tf he were forced to pay oat Interest on the bonds. Tbe atate has realized this and has taken the task of providing fands to pay the tax over a period of two and a half years The farmer is in this manner given a period of grace in which he may prepare hie land so that he may meet the payments easily when due.

When it’« your good luck to butt into Buffalo, go to that store on Ellicott Square where the dark haired clerk slips out Camels with both hands—plus a tank of talk on the side! The thing that tickled me most was his sureness that I was after Camels! As soon as I had my coin on the counter and before I could say a word, he flashed me a package of Camels! When I asked him how he knew I wanted Camels, he took a pull on his laugh stock and soaked me with this:—“Can’t tell you, old mayonnaise—I’m dressing!” After he had waited on several other men who drew their Camels like I did, this salesman said:—“For a fact, most men here smoke Camels. They hit the popular taste! Camels have the right body and the right mildness and the right flavor! They’re ALL right 1” And, Pete—he added this without a stutter: The mor» I see of the world and the more I learn about cigarettes, the more respect I have for Camels and Camels quality! I don't believe a better cigarette could be made at any price!” And Pete—oh, Pete—listen to this gem:—“And it’s an odds on bet I'm a good judge. I’ve tried ’em all—and my taste is the jury box!“ If that isn’t a swell line of Camel talk, I’ll sell my shoes! But, Peter, that salesman is right! It’s my belief that no cigarette in the world can be favorably compared with Camels—they’re so smooth and mellow and delightful 1 I’m herewith slipping between the sheets, old ou tell ’em the rest—you’re so full All Save Money Here!

D. 106 one of Trajan’s gen -rals conquered Petra, the ancient city it tbe Nabataeans In Arabia, and Treated the Roman province of Arabia Petraea. but the city continued to flourish as a trade center under the strong peace of Rome, writes Lowell Thomas In Asia magazine. In those days Petra was the focusing point on the caravtr routes from the Interior of Arabia. Persia and India to Egypt. Palestine and Syria. It was a great safe deposit of fabulous wealth, for- tressed by frowning cliffs. When Ro man power waned, the Romanized Na bataeans were unable to withstand the desert hordes. The caravan trade was diverted through other channels and Petra declined in Importance. A little more than a century r ago, John Lewis Burckhardt. a I Swiss traveler, who had heard rumors of a great city of rock lying far out on the fringe of the Arabian desert, pene trated the gorge and found once more this wonderful old city of Petra, which had not been mentioned In any liter ary record since A. D. 536. In the century or more since Burck hardt wrote of his discovery of the rock city In a letter from Cairo, only a few explorers and archeologists from the west have visited Petra. The Jour ney Is so long and arduous and the danger of violence from Bedouin no mads so great that not many tave had the time or zeal to attempt IL The lion and the lizard kept the court where Jamstiyd gloried and drank deep until Thomas Lawrence brought bis fighting Bedouins Into this city of tombs and empty palaces. » -♦,» _4L Red Crown .rown gasoline is w \V1 à rehnery gasoline an all -*1 wit h a continuous chain of boiling points.
