The people voted the money at past elections, and they had to vote again to spend it for the purpose on the measure—state build ings. The measure says it is a 10 mill tax levy. The bill was drawn to make the money now on hand available. THERE WILL BE NO 10 MILL TAX COLLECTED The money is already collected. It’s a peculiar situa tion when the money is already in the bank to have to assume another tax—but that is the way the attorney general said it had to be done—so that is why it is on the ballot as a tax measure. We want the voters in the valley to understand that they will NOT PAY the tax, for the tax has al ready been collected. Every voter should mark an X voting FOR the first measure on the ballot. The next measure is the cigaret tax bill. This is a 2 cents per ¡jack tax on every package of cigarets sold. The money would be used for the public school fund throughout the state. If you smoke a package of cigarets a day, you would be paying 2 cents per day towards the public schools. If you think that is all right, vote for the measure, if you don’t, vote against it. It’s a good cause, but we have our doubts about it passing. Then on the same ballot will be the measure to adopt the county school law, and also to vote to allow Grants Pass school district to become a part of the county school law. This is necessary because the Grants Pass schools are in an incorporated city and the citizens must vote to make them a part of the county school law. Lester Wilcox, legal advisor for the state school board, says this is a good law if it is properly admin istered. In other words if the board that the county court will appoint to begin the new change (after wards the people will elect the board) will spend the money to employ a good superintendent, the county school law would help improve all the schools in the county. If the board failed to employ a good man, it would do the schools no good. We have an exceptionally good school system in the valley now, and many are hesitant in changing to something they do not know about, or is a chance. However, if you take the advice from those who know, it is a step in the right direction. We do not presume to advise what you should do with your schools. You should know what you want to do. Use your own judgment, and then your conscience will be clear. There is only one thing we will ask you to do— COME OUT AND VOTE AT THE SPECIAL ELEC TION, FRIDAY. JUNE 22nd—that’s today—the day you get this paper. It is printed Thursday, but you receive it Friday in the valley. Today is the election day. The polls are open from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m.

Hints on Canning With Little Sugar In using corn syrup to stretch •ugar in innning fruit, different ploportions give the best icsults for different kinds of fruit ac cording to recent research curried on in another state and just re ported in a new home economies extension circular, “Saving Sugai in Food Preservation." This circular, prepaied by Lucy A Case, extension nutritionist, and Thomas On«dorff, associate professor of food industries, con tained tables for guidance in the use of both corn syrup and honey in stretching «ugar and a fairly complete discussion of ways to ob tain the maximum quantities of canned fruit with smaller amount« of sugar. Dark corn syrup, as well a« the more popular light kind, may be used successfully in canning for all of the common fruits except pears, the circular Mates. In mak ing the thin type of syrup used in canning, neither the light nor dark corn syrup is recommended with cherries, although either «um be “They’re staring home every mt, t and saving their money tor a War RALPH E. BELL T COUNTY AGENT SAYS CLIP PERMANENT PASTURES Farmers will find it profitable to clip permanent pastures at thi time of the year where the grass has become tall and patchy, sug gests J. F. Svinth county agri cultural agent. Recent heavy rains have allowed the grass and weeds to grow faster than stock have been able to eat down. Con sequently, the pasture has become patchy and coarse, resulting in loss of succulent feed. Clipping will remove the coarse grass and allow new growth to take its place and in return provide more pasture. Rotating the pastures during the grazing period will also in crease the amount and quality of pastures. This is rione by moving the stock from one field to an other, allowing them on one field for only a short interval and al lowing the other portions of the pasture to grow. Maximum pro- duction is obtained when pastui' grasses can be kept at height of about 4 to 5 inches. ------------ V----------- ■— Japan makes a record govern ment shake-up against invasion. -------------- V-------------- Roosevelt’s Appeal for 7th War Loan WASHINGTON D.
