Maxwell Alien Case Referred to Federal Immigration Office sijr^hilnsnptirr — Last week we left primitive man tangled up in a maze of magic with a ritual so compli cated that one specially trained —a priest—had to perform it for him. Now all of this was made necessary by happenings that he couldn't understand—acci- dents of all kinds that inter- fered with his plans, subjected him to danger—In other words, just plain bad luck. He was very devout in his observance, but In spite of his best efforts, his con dition did not improve. Things happened just the same—the rocks rolled down the mountain, the wind blew, the lightning flashed, the floods came. Here that quirk of the human brain, still a mystery to science, the dream, enters the picture.

BUNKS “Fellow Citizens” (With Apologies to Readers if We Get Profane) Many a hero’s deeds have been unsung, and many a worthy accom plishment has been lost in obscur ity—ft is just that way with the Applegate men who can cook. All these years they have plied their ability over the bread board and kitchen range, and the world never would have known had not somebody, noting the publicity gained by A. S. Kleinhammer last week as a result of his snow-bird pie, volunteered a bit of informa tion to a reporter. AV D. Peckham thinks nothing of getting breakfast every morning and putting piping hot muffins and cakes on the menu. And on Sun days! Well. Mr. Peckham would make the chefs of magazine fame feel like an ice-cold drink ad under a foot of snow. He gives his family light, golden biscuits with ham and eggs on the side, and coffee that can’t be beaten. Ed Jones has a wide variety of tasks he can do. He does the chores, gets breakfast, and does the washing and ironing, all in ad dition to his manifold duties as foreman at the F. C. Preston ranch. There are two superb cake bak ers—Louis Buckley and Bill Straube. Mr. Buckley may not be classed specifically as a farmer, being more of the collegiate type, but nevertheless, he belongs to Applegate. In spite of the fact that Mr. Straube shows some inclina tion toward aviation, frequenting the Medford airport, he makes red devils’ food cake a specialty. Elmer Centers gets breakfast and washes the dishes. He not only is an excellent cook, but he scalds his dishes, too. The informant called attention to the fact that it is not all of the good cooks who are married, and also enlarged upon the general sub ject a bit, adding that surely Ore gon can produce the best men cooks of the union. Jacksonville Grangers To Be Treated Tonight Jacksonville Grangers will be treated to a concert by the Med ford Gleemen tonight when the Gleemen will sing at a program given at the Jacksonville Grange hall. A big supper and entertainment has been planned by the grangers as part of a move to bring Grang ers and Medford business men closer together. Speakers who have been Invited to talk include W. S. Bolger, president of the Medford chamber of commerce, and other leading business men. James Stevens, baritone, will lead the Gleemen, and Sebastian Apollo will accompany at the piano. Most of Medford's music lovers already have heard the glee men. but to many of the Jackson ville Grangers and followers of art the male chorus will be new, as well as a rare treat. At first it was planned to have the Gleemen at the entertainment just as guests, but Charlie Hoover hit upon the happy idea of having them sing, so sing they will.

Banks has thrust his employes tills week re vealed that even his youthful car riers, ranging in age from 10 to 18, hold the usual sack for wages due. It seems that the Daily News publisher, who posed as “Jackson county’s biggest man” at a meet ing earlier this week, has even stooped to holding out on his car riers who, through all kinds of weather and at early hours of the morning, deliver his newspaper. Al though Banks will deny the truth, as usual, questioning of one of the carriers, probably not more than 12 years of age, revealed the fact that the circulation department owes him more than $20 back pay.
