FUNDS ARE COMING IN GOOD
Excellcnt l*rogrcss Is Being Made in
Chamber of Commerce Drive
Reports made at the regular forum
luncheon of the Chamber of Com­
merce this noon showed that the
teams in the field for the raising of
the money for the advertising fund
of the Chamber have been getting
excellent results. The money has
been over halt subscribed up to noon
today, with prospects excellent that
the drive will result in the securing
of the amount needed to carrying
out the plans of the Chamber as set
forth in the budget presented at the
last meeting. Some new subscrib­
ers have been signed up while a large
number of the old ones have In­
creased their quotas by the 50 per
cent wanted.
The side under the guidance of
George Sabin has the best of the bat­
tle to date. The team under Cap­
tain R. W. Clarke has raised 3743.
the one under Captain Vallard Truax
$880.88, and the one under Harry
Couch. $389. a total of $2,112.88. or
92 per cent of the required amount.
Under H. L. Bromley, Captain C. D.
Fles reported $614, Captain J. M.
Isham $576.50. and Captain W. E.
Newcombe $415. The two teams
have a total of $3,118.38 guaranteed.
The workers contemplate a hard
drive during the next few days to get
the needed funds so that the cam­
paign can be ended up within two
days. It is hoped by the secretary
that a report can be made by Wed­
nesday nootv that the entire amount
has been subscribed.
Not only have new subscribers for
the Chamber fund been found but a
few now members for the organiza­
tion have also been signed up. Four
of these are J. C. Hatens, of the Rex
Cate, W. O. Andrews, of the Joseph­

tion, I. Rae Cowdtn, of the Willard

WAR VETERANS WILL COME
TO BOOKS AT S O’CLOCK
Spanish war veterans from all
parta of the state are making plans
to visit Grants Pass next summer
when their annual convention is held
here. This statement was made to­
day by George A. White, adjutant-
general of Oregon. Mr. White stop­
ped in Grants Pasa-while on his way
to Ashland to inspect the national
guard there. He will return to Med­
ford tomorrow night to attend the
dedication ceremonies of the new
armory there.
Army equipment is being loaned
for the encampment and army tents
will form a real camp for the Span­
ish war vets near the Oregon Caves.
It is also possible that army cook­
ing equipment will be used and it
was suggested by the commander of
the state forces that he has a cgok
that could be loaned for the affair.
He is also making plans to use ma­
chine gun trucks to bring a large
number of the vets to the conven­
tion, who, because of the fare, vould
be unable to come otherwise. He
stated that he would be on hand for
the occasion, which is receiving con­
siderable attention here already.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 26.—(I. N. S.)
—«Belief that electricity can be har­
nessed and used In the extermina­
tion of the greatest evil to Southern
agriculture today—the dreaded boll
weevtl—was expressed by Samuel
Hfbben, manager of the research de­
partment of the Westinghouse Elec­
tric and Manufacturing Company,
who was in Atlanta recently con-
ducting a study of the 'boll weevil
menace In this section.
"Time’ll come when ’bottled’ elec­
tricity will raise flowers, grow grass,
sprout seeds, and cause practically
any botanical element to germinate,”
said Hlbben, "but dearer still to the
heart of the Southern cotton plan­
ters are the possibilities of yoking
electricity to the gigantic task of
stamping out the weevtl.’’
During the last year research work
conducted by Hlbben has resulted in
the actual growing of certain flowers
and vegetables by the sole process of
electric Induction as a substitute
for the rays of the sun, nature’s own
process. With electricity still in Its
infancy, as applied to plant germina­
tion. and with the success of the ex­
periments eo far conduoted far be­
yond expectations, Hlbben contends
the 'belief plants will actually sprout,
grow and mature by electric attrac­
tion, is no longer a theory but an ac­
complished fact.
In his experiment for raising
incandescent
flowers
ordinary
lights were used, he explained.
There was no element of radio nor
of the ultra-violet ray. The success
of the experiment depends entirely
upon the dHscovery of some basic
principle which will cause the atoms
or molecules, probably some minute
element of protoplasm, in the seeds
to respond to the Intensive power of
electrical attraction, the eleetrlcdl
expert continued.
"When the basic principle is onee
discovered,” said be. "the working
man can plant beans In the cellar at
night and eat them for luncheon the
next day.”
