Oregon, under the act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) ONE YEAR >150 SIX MONTHS 80c (Mailed Anywhere in the United States) hl11 âSE* An Important Decision! ft * The members of the chamber of commerce are faced with a real responsibility this weeksinceitw' be their decision which will determine the future ot the organization in Ashland—in other words, whether it will continue as an active community-building tout or revert to an expensive information bureau. Since the loss of registration fees of out-of-state cars, the chamber has been operating with a consider­ able monthly deficit even though working upon a dras­ tically reduced budget. So after much study, the board of directors has placed the decision in the hands ot the i members upon whose support the success of any plan depends. . . . i In view of the proposed military and commercial expansion in this area it is hoped that the member­ I ship will be unanimously in favor of continuing an active organization which will be capable of pa\ ing real dividends in the way of community improvement. It is true that much of the chamber of commerce work falls upon members themselves, but success is largely due to the leadership and research of the of­ fice. So considering value received it is difficult to see any economy in reducing the present set-up to a second-rate information bureau whose contribution to civic betterment would be the enlightenment of tour­ ists as to the height of Mt. Ashland or whether or not Crater Lake is as blue as advertised. ★ ★ ★ Why No Daylight Saving? With public interest turned to conservation by the just completed aluminum drive, it might be an oppor­ tune time to appeal for public support to a painless yet important contribution to national defense—saving davlizht which in turn would mean a big saving in daylight electrical energy. While there is no real shortage of electricity in most sections of the country to date, the prospects have appeared serious enough for President Roosevelt to recommend that congress give him authority to proclaim daylight saving time either regionally or nationally for part or all the year. Although it has become a national habit to waste several hours of morning daylight there seems to be no sound reason for opposing daylight saving time, particularly if it were established throughout the country which would avoid the confusion of changing timetables and conflict between rural and city clocks. Daylight saving has proved its workability in many cities and states for more than 20 years and seems by far the most agreeable means of conserving resources yet suggested. ★ * ★ Miner Subscribers Not Included! The Yreka Journal resurrected an old timer recent­ ly that bears repeating: A certain subscriber got mad at the editor, and stopped his paper. Next week he sold his wheat (this was before the AAA) at four cents below published market price; then some of his farm was sold for taxes because he didn’t read the sheriff’s sale; he lost $10 betting on a horse ten days after the race was won by another nag; he was arrested and fined $25 for fishing in a Stream the newspaper had reported closed; he was blacklisted for not going to church on Sunday because he didn’t know what day was Sunday and finally he paid $300 for some forged notes that the newspaper had warned everybody against. Well, sir, this fellow hired a big colored boy with a foot like a derrick to kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where he paid up four years sub­ scription in advance, and made the editor sign an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever stopped his paper again. REMEMBER WHEN —iron statuary decorated the yards of the town's leading ciitizens? Sometimes a deer with head held high. Or Diana with drawn bow, or e. huge dog. On the curb stood the figure of a negro boy holding a ring to which to tie the horses. Show places, those yards were. Remember? Your leading funeral director for over six years.

KY Diredor, National Farm Youd« Foundation PAYING TOO MUCH TO EAT Yet there is hardly a farm on tvhich a good-sized kitchen garden could not be planted, and hardly a farm on which there is not •nough time wasted to take care if that garden. And with mod- arn farm machinery to do most ot the work, spare time for garden­ ing is still more available. A thrifty farmer can raise on his own place just about every- i thing needed to provide a health- I ful and adequate year-round diet, except sugar, salt, coffee, tea and I perhaps fresh fruits during the winter. And a thrifty farmer's wife can I preserve enough fruits and vege- I 1 tables to last a family through a long winter. In the old days, before so many new-fangled ideas became popu­ lar, we who lived in towns used to look upon a farm dinner as just I , about tops in plenty of good thing* to eat. They didn't buy many of the good things they gave us. They I raised their own fruits and vege­ tables, and they killed and cured their own meats. They were actu­ ally prodigal with fried chickens and luscious country ham and sausage. They baked their own bread and pies, and what pies they were! We've lost a good deal since the arrival of the can opener and the cellophane-wrapped package. The stores sell us fine foods, clean, Í well-selected and well-preserved. But they cost money, beepuse to buy them we have to pay a good many profits and expense items that are not in the picture when equally good things to eat can be produced right where they arc eaten—on the family farm. If you are one of thé farmers who think a garden is too much work, why not get together with a few neighbors, and each raise enough of a few fruits and vege­ tables for the group. Then let other members of the group raise a different selection, and share with you and with each other these money-saving garden crops. Sounds like a very simple idea, but it’s a very practical one that too many farmers have been over­ looking as a means of conserving the cash that is sometimes so hard to accumulate. A leading farm journal recent­ ly printed some very interesting and very significant figures. It made the statement—and backed it by evidence—that out of every dollar farmers spend for con­ sumer goods, 41 cents is spent for food. Consumer goods of. course means things that are used up —food, clothing, drugs, toilet preparat ions, household sup­ Kyes plies and the like. We all look upon the farm as the place where food is raised. Of course we do not expect any sin­ gle farm to produce every kind of food its people might like to eat, but it does seem that a well-run family farm should be able to feed its operator and his family on a well-rounded diet, without the need of buying 41 per cent of its food in the market. Perhaps this figure points to a bad habit that too many Amer­ ican farmers have acquired—the habit of growing only a single crop, or a few crops, and depend­ ing upon others for the diversifica­ tion that means healthy living and profits. These one-crop farmers are al­ ways at the mercy of the market for their specialty. They are very likely to be in the position of selling their own crop at a low price, and being compelled to buy what they need at a high price. At the very time they are asking for economic changes that will bring them more cash, they are actually wasting some of the cash they have, by spending it for food • Among those attending the they could raise.
