JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
Tlio Knockers Xumlier.
, A particularly pernicious brand ot
knocking Is the kind they uncork,
alone with tho hair tonic, In tho
harbor ohops. For Instance tho other
day a visitor In .Mcdford, whllo be
inB shaved, was told that tho light,
water, Ras, land and numerous othor
rates wore too high and that demo
tion bowwows was holding out Its
arms ready to receive the whole val
ley. ,. This man spent a couple ot days In
Ashland beforo coming to Mcdford
and whllo,thero he wan told a hun
dred times what a horrible place
Mcdford wan, but he wisely laid It
to small city Joalouy,
.After hearing tho earao line of
talk In Mcdford this particular man
did not think a bit less of tho town
but wondered mightily at the brain
capacity ot men who can seek to
drlvo visitors and prosperity away by
their senseless chatter.
t All of which argues for the Imme
diate ceremony of burying tho ham
mer beneath twenty tons of con
crete. Business with tho merchants ot
Mcdford right now Is decidedly bet
ter than nt this tlmo last .year. Tho
knockers aren't found among the
merchants.
Far bo It from us to say it wai
tho barbers who knocked. 'Twas the
faithful row who sit on tho chairs
tilted against tho wall, who daily
read tho barber's newspapers and
thereby mako living harder for the
uowstand proprietors.
, And speaking, of newspaper mooch
crs, tho writer haa never worked In
a newspaper offlco that did not have
its quota of visitors who dally helped
thomselves.
A. follow who arrived here this
sprlug said yesterday, 'I camo to
Medford because so many people in
Portland and Eugene told sue not to.
I i made, up my mind that they must
bp afraid to have people see tho
Rogue Hirer valley and when I land
ed hero I saw why. I'm here to
stayvln tho most wonderful country
I have .ever seen-"
' i
A community which boosts for
what it has Is constantly boosting
for more. Ono which knocks for
what ftf lacks la over finding moro to
knock about. The man who knocks
Blows up tho speed of tho earth and
tho sun of his prosperity rises so
nuch behind schedule.
Boost!

linve done to Anuriuia only tho .lapaneso arc far more
Btriiurent, forbidrtinff tho ownurahii of any property. Hut
wliy did not Arizona and AVashintfton also "insult" the
Japs when those states adopted their laud lawsf
Why does not .lanan fe'el insulted by the treatment
given in Australia 1 The government of Victoria does not
permit a .lap to land oxoepfo ono of higher elass, and thou
thov can remain oulv 12 months. More than this, Aus
tralia labels the .laps as "colored persona" and "Pacific
Islatul blades."
The treatment accorded Japanese in Austnalia is thus
summed up bv F. T, A. Kieke, representative in North
America of the government of Victoria, in a letter to the
Sacramento Bee:
in reply to your Inquiries, 1 desire lo Inform you that under tho Com
monwealth Inimtpratlon Act and HoRul.ttlons all colored persons, Including
Asiatics and Pacific Island blacks, arc excluded from Australia.
The rules, however, allow for the UudlniC of nil persons of tho Kuro
pean raco. Armenian, Syrians, Amnions and Persians are not rcRnnlcd
as of tho European race.
TheTO is nn arrangement by which Japanese, Chinese, Indiana. IUI
meso and Cingalese of tho merchant, student tind tourist travelera class
who are holders of a passport from their respective governments may be
admitted to Australia for a period Of twelve mouths.
With regard to other classes ot colored persons, It Is necessary thnt
satisfactory arrangcmonW bo made for sureties on tholr behalf to tho
extent of 100 for their duo departuro from tho Commenwealth: and, In
tho case of colored servants, a certtficato ot exemption Is allowed on their
employers giving undertaking for tholr due departure.
If California is insulting to Japan, what is 'Australia?
Why do not the battleships thunder in righteous indigna
tion to avenge the honor of Nippon at Melbourne?
PRECOOLING PLANT NEEDED.
PRECOOLTNG experiments conducted here last fall by
government experts proved conclusively that the Bart
lett and other .Rogue river pear crops could be held for
several Aveeks in cold storage before being shipped and
inavketed, and yet be delivered in good condition after a
week's exposure in fruit stands. Peal's were held as
long as seven or eight weeks successfully.
Of course it is not every pear that will stand such
treatment, but it is one of the distinctions of the Mcdford
Baitlett and Howell peal's that they will. Their keeping
quality as well as their perfect flavor, makes the local
product a favorite hi -all markets.
The advantage of preeooling is that it enables the pro
ducer to hold his output until the California and local
eastern product is off the market. The California season
is far ahead of the Uogue river season. The eastern pro
duel is most perishable. Preeooling will enable the local
pear grower to secure the highest possible prices for his
Xiroduct.
A preeooling plant is one of the most important sub
jects before the growers today. It should result in great
ly increasing the returns to the producer. Such a pro
posal is before the growers today. A plant litis been par
tially financed, but a fuller co-operation is necessary.
Saturday afternoon fruit growers will meet at 2 o'clock
at the library to discuss this subject and every fruitman in
the valley should attend. Sooner or later it will mean
dollars in the pocket of every shipper.
DOES IT PAY? .
DOES it pay to have your printing done at home?
Just as much as it does to do your banking, your
food purchasing, your clothes, drygoods and shoe buying
at Iiome. '
Your printing helps to keep at least one man busy. It
helps him to take care of a family, to pay rent, to buy gro
ceries and supplies. It keeps him and his family in the
community, and the money you pay stays and circulates
in the community. !
If you send you work away from home, the money
leaves the country, and docs not return. You help force
a man out of employment, and drive a family out of town.
You make a house vacant, and deprive the owner of rent.
You take away a customer from the grocer, the butcher,
the clothier, the drygoods and other stores, a depositor
from the banks, a customer .oL the power company and
other concerns, and a probable investor and city builder.
In brief, you help cripple tho community.
And what do you gain by it? Perhaps a few cents
probably nothing.
The same rule applies not only to printing, but to
everything made at home, or sold at home. To make the
community prosperous you must trade at home. You
must keep the money working at home and the homo peo
ple at work and if you are big enough and broad enough
and wise enough to aid in city building and community
development, you will do it.
It pays and, pays big to trade at homo.
