The American voluntary method of War Bond

¡ATHEY OUT FOR
REPRESENTATIVE
LUCIUS ROBINSON
FOR COMMISSIONER
M. C. Athey, editor of the Illin
ois Valley News is a candidate for
representative in the state legis
lature from Josephine county on
the Republican ballot.
Athey makes no promises and
his platform is short, but wishes
to call to the attention of the val
ley Republicans that there has
neyer been a representative from
the valley, not that it would make
any difference to his duties as
representing the entire county, but
it would add to the prestige of the
valley in the way of publicity.
His platform as stated in the
Voters Pamphlet is as follows:
If I am nominated and elected,
I will, during my term of office,
I work for the development of the
natural resources of Josephine
county—agriculture, horticulture,
’ mining, lumbering, and the recrea
tional advantages offered by moth
er nature and a glorious climate.
Eliminate all unnecessary taxes
and curtail expenditures to abso
lute necessities that we may fin
ish victoriously the gastly job
ahead of us and keep our coun
try the greatest democracy in the
world.
Respect old age with lasting se
curity and promote the full Grange
program.
It is impossible for me to call
on each and everyone of you in
the valley and throughout the
county, but I seek your help and
cooperation in nominating me as
your representative.
,
Sincerely,
M. C. Athey.
Brought out by many substan
tial business men of Grants Pass,
who believe that the Illinois valley
is entitled to a representative on
the county court, Lucius Robinson
was induced to be a candidate for
county commissioner on the Re
publican ticket.
Everyone in the valley knows
Lucius and there is nothing that
we might say that would add to his
popularity. Lucius is a good, re
liable business head and does not
make decisions without deep study.
He would make an ideal commis
sioner.

BUY
On the Democratic ballot for the
May primaries, the position of rep
resentative for the state legisla
ture is blank, no candidate having
filed for that position.
Several friends of M. C. Athey,
the Republican candidate, have
suggested that the Democrats
write in the name of M. C. Athey,
and they also suggest not to forget
to put a cross in front of the name
or the ballot will not be counted
for that particular office. The
mere fact of writing in the name
will not help unless the ( X ) cross
is placed in the same position as
other candidates voted for.
If Athey wins both nominations,
it would assure his election in the
fall. The possibilities of an inde
pendent candidate are sure if no
one gets the Democratic nomina
tion through write-in’s on the bal
lot.

America’s air force is appeal-
ing to sheep raisers of the country
to time the shearing of their spring
lambs and yearlings so that the
pelts at slaughtering time will have
just the right amount of wool
needed for manufacturing warm
flying suits for the airmen, says
Dean William A. Schoenfeld of
Oregon State College.
“This may sound like a peculiar
request, but it is made in dead
earnest, according to the informa
tion received at my office, said the
dead. “It seems that wool on
skins used in manufacturing fly
ing suits must be between one-
fourth inch and one inch in length.
If wool is more than an inch long
at slaughtering time, it is both dif
ficult and expensive to trim the
wool to the required length after
the pelt is removed.
“The entire output of these pelts
known as ‘shearlings,’ has been
reserved for military use. The
war production board believes that
more than two million additional
skins suitable for flying suits can
be obtained as a result of such a
shearing program.”
The best pro« dure to insure a
proper interval between shearing
and slaughtering is left to the
judgment of the sheep raisers.
IT’S A STIFF GAME
It's a stiff game they play
that broad oak table surrounded
by the marble walls of the court
house. Over that wide table pass
thousands of dollars annually.
On one side is the county court
—on the other those who seek
those tax dollars. It's a tough spot
for those three men on the court.
It’s no place foi a man who can’t
stand heat and pressure.
I b»lieve that ‘he court must re
alize, with our country fighting for
its very existence, that it is high
time to freeze a’l non-essential
spending. Our citizens must meet
rising living costs and increased
war taxes.
I do not believe in division of
authority whereby if you want a
road or culvert, see Pete; if you
want a choice forty, see Mac; if
you don't want anything see the
Judge, for it seems the democratic
members of the court don't let him
in rn “what’r a-coekin.”
Fortunately for the taxpayer I
have seen the United States and
several foreign countries so it will
be unnecessary to make these
junkets we read about. If an ex
pert wants a job or a salesman has
something to sell, let him come to
Grants Pass. Here, with a watch
ful eye on the county’s till, we
will deal over the aforementioned
table.
Finally, 1 warn you, my country
comes first when we get down to
business. Support me without any
idea of collaring me around the
corner, If you have any business
with the court, you, too, must deal
over the table.
Thank you,
ROY DAVID.
