WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
in every automobile accident the
question first brought out is Who is
responsible?” In almost every case
it to the other fellow, if it is pos
sible to pass the buck, the buck is
passed without more ado. 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.
The farmer must realise that al-

IMINII NULI* STOCK
Buffalo, N. Y.
—on a Saturday!
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

JITY'S GLCRY LONG DEPARTED
In A. 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
