RIOT BECAUSE OF
FOOD SHORTAGE
Charles Edward Russell Says Little
Holland Is Between Two Millstones,
Meeting Great Expense Because of
War But Only Smugglers, Farmers
nnd the Rich Profit.
Tl IK llUH'K, Ilollnwl, July 28.

TEN PER CENT
LOSS TO PEARS
The long of pears throughout the
section within a radius of 15 mileH
of Medford will not exceed 10 per
cent, according to C. C. Cate, county
pathologist, whose men have been
inveHtlKating the loss at various or
chards this morning, occassloned by
I be electric storm of Friday after
noon, which was followed by a third
of an Inch rainfall.
. Orchards of the 401 district seem
to hav0 been the Heaviest loosers,
wltlh loss of nartletts running from
2.1 per cent on the 401 to GO per cent
on the Vilas and Westerlund proper
ties, where picking had not yet
begun. Hear Creek orchards' loss
will not run over 10 per cent and the
Marshall orchard to the southwest of
the town tho same. Near the hills on
tho western side of the valley, there
is practically no loss.
Hose, pears are little hurt. Anjous
were In places hurt more than Ilurt
letts. Coinlcn fell heavily, ipilte C.en-
erally In tho districts where llartletl
losses were heavy. The young stock
through the valley seems to have
Buffered most.
An Idea of the money loss Is hard
to give, according to Cate. in places
where pears fell on soft ground, many
of them can ho packed and the rest
canned. Many trees of the later vu-
letles were overloaded and will be
actually benefitted as the fruit will
slzo rapidly and where only medio
cre quality with the heavy yield
ight be expected, those that remain
in the trees will pack as extra fancy.
Apples were but slight sufferers.
The only explanation that can be
given lor the wind, which for a pe
riod of flvo minutes, reached u ve
locity of over 00 miles an hour, iR
that during the day, while wo had
a steady wind from the northwest,
a wind from tho southwest came In
from over tho mountains. These two
air currentH, coming together about
flvo o'clock resulted la a sudden whip
to tho south east. There was no
Indication from the Portland weather
office of the coming storm and the
condition seems to have been purely
local. The barometer, which was
steady all day, rose about five o'clock
10 In less than five minutes.
CRATER LAKE
(In account of the inclement weath
er ami short notice, only a small
crowd atlcndeil the program given by
visiting I'ythians, members of Ihe su
preme lodge at the K. of I', hall lasl
night.
The main feature of Ihe program
was the illustrated lecture of (ieorgc
W. I'eniiinian, of lloslou, lecturer of
the supreme lodge, who spoke on the
origin of Pylhianisin. Air. I'enniiaaa
showed entire familiarity with his
subject using fur illustrations slides
he had taken of Hie story of Damon
ami Pythias in Sicily. Woven iulo the
lecture were a series of views of
('rater Lake, given Mr. I'cniiiinan by
Will (I. Steel, superintendent of ('ru
ler l.nkc park. These will be used
by Mr. l'ciiniinan in his lectures In
Ihe en-l.
Mr. l'ciiniinan, as were Ihe oilier
members of the party, was load in his
prai-es of Oregon hospitality nnd
Oregon scenery, ('ruler Lake, be
said, could not be compared to any
other natural wonder of Ihe world, il

wonder thev riot.
Few Medforlics appreciate the ben
efit that will accrue to this cltv and
county from ;he editorial convention
recently held here. There are two
reasons lu parllcular why this is so.
They do not huve access to Ihe va
rious newspapers published over tho
stale, hence are not reading the large
number of exceedingly warm tributes
being paid tu Mi'dford and her people
on uecoiuit of Hid entertainment furn
ished them. Moreover they do not
know of a few unusual circumstances
which particularly Impressed our vis
itors to our advantage.
Successfll Convent lou
One of these circumstances is the
fact that the association had been
struggling against an apathy among its
members which kept the attendance
it annual conventions way down to a
discoiiraglugly small figure. Conven
tions had been one like another with a
lack of Inlerest which was reflected in
the diminishing attendance. The Med
ford convention, on account of the ex-,
ceptioual entertainment offered, stirred
up this interest anew and brought, out
an attendance nearly 100 per cent
larger than the next largest in the as
sociation's history. (There were Kt-l
accredilcd representatives here; the
next largest was 72.)
The officers of the association are
elated over this revival of interest and
credit Ihe public spirited citizens of
Medford as being largely responsible
for It.
Again, a fact Utile known locally Is
well known among the visiting news
paper men, and that. Is that last, year
another city undertook to enterlala the
association with a trip to Crater Lake
ami a few months before the date set,
had to give it. up and the convention
was hastily arranged in a city In the
northern part of the slate. So Med
ford's success was in contrast with an
other city's lack of success. i
Furthermore, newspaper men are
constantly mixed up In community en
tertaining and advertising stums in
every section' of the state, and know
how hard II, is to successfully pull off
n hard one. It was freely commented
among llieni while here that hardly
another city In the slate would attempt
nch an effort. More than that, the
visitors learned of the -ipecial hard-
. 1 1 i t wi rked by the accidental diilins
of the anr.uul Kill's picnic fbr the rauie
d ly us their trip 'to Crater 1.,'ve, and
the entire, success of both ar'i'airs dem
onstrated the town's abllitj to enter
tain.
Visions Well I'lejuscil
The convent ton brought a very rep
resentative gathering of newspaper
men from every section of tho siale.
They went homo more than pleased, as
evidenced In the number of flattterlng
il'. tires appearing In the state press
nli",'iuy. And II must be rcnicmbeied
that, when they praise, they speak to
from 2(1011 to Coot) people each.
Credit tn Whom Credit Is Due
The people of Medford and the coun
ty are indebted to the publl, spirited
citizens wlio n.ede. this succesj possi
ble. 1 No one person or oanlzatlon
die it but a generous response on the
part of all requested to co-opvutc
made it a complete, biiccos.i.
The commercial club, through u coin
uilttee consisting of President Hill,
Messrs. Lutta, Kosenbatim. Hoon and
Connor had charge of the trip over the
Slsklyous to the California line and
conducted in admirable sluice. It
was a valuable piece of work, for the
county needs the help of the rest of
the state In finishing that rond.
The Greater Medford Club, with
with Mrs. Schellfelln nd Mrs. Mun
dy In the lead, gave the vlaillng ladles
a splendid luncheon Saturday noon
followed by an auto ?lde undo." liie
auspices of the College Women's club
with Mrs, AlcCurdy, Mrs. Dr. Thayer
and Mrs. Cal l; I n in charge. Holh were
completely successful. ,'1Vo regret Mint
we huve not a Hut of the generous cit
izens ('outrunning Ui those two affairs,
but they did their share toward n. lik
ing the convention successful.
The University Club entertained the
editors most acceptably Saturday noon
at luncheon. Their delightful club
house offers unusual opportunity for
functions of tills kind and their hos
pitality was much npprociaied.
Tho hotels of the city most gener
ously offered free accommodation to
the entire list of visitors. John Wes
terlimd of the Hotel Holland was re
sponsible for this suggestion, with
Messrs. Mohr of Hotel Medford and
Bell of Hotel Nash heartily seconding
the idea.-
The program at Hie banquet Rater
day evening was one of the finest era
heard in Ihe city, thanks to the con
tributions of Mr. (ieorge Andrews,
Miss Florence Hazelrlgg, Mrs. lsnacs,
Win Vawler and Fletcher Fish, whose
singing was good as usual a real com
pliment; and the Instruineiunl music
during the serving by Messrs. Unwell,
Root, Waite and Alleu and Miss
Clarke. The poem by Dick Posey was
out) of the hits of the convention as
evidenced by the numerous requests
for it In printed form. The stunt oy
Messrs. Jerome mid Hiichter was fine.
The Colony Club, through Mrs. Pat
terson, Mrs. Fiero and Mrs. Frank
Owen decorated the banquet hall most
tastefully, and Itlaiuo K:i,m donated
place cards, Gads Bros, the diayage,
and an incidental expense fund was
contributed by three of the Medford
banks.
The feature which made the con
vention conspicuously successful was
the trip ) Crater Lake. II is no easy
matter to take 12S guests, a total par
ly of 170, on sucn a jaunt. But It was
done without a hitch or unfortunate
accident, thanks to the generosity of
those contributing cars, as follows:

The Buick Six Model D-Six-45
A knowledge of motor ear princi
ples leads the prospective, buyer 1o
this car as surely and inevitalily'as
the needle seeks tile pole:
There is no greater fallacy than the
oft expressed one that "any standard
motor car is a safe buy." When a.
member of a man's family becomes ill
he doesn't turn to the classified direc
tory in the telephone book and send
for "any regular doctor." Indeed not !
lie sends for that doctor about whom
he has knowledge.
And knowledge of motor cars is the
guiding principle by which you should
be actuated in making a purchase. Jt
is the principle that tho Buick Motor
Company is extremely anxious for
you to accept in reaching your decis
ion. '
A knowledge of motor ear princi
ples will lead you to the conviction
that the Buick Valve-in-Ilead motor
is Ihe most powerful and efficient mo
tor mailt the most powerful because
it, conserve?' and uses a higher per
centage of the heat energy contained
iri gasoline than any other motor,' and
the most efficient because it is so con
structed that each fresh charge of gas
oline vapor taken into each cylinder is
not diluted through mixture with por
tions of the dead rases remaining
from the last previous explosion, as
is the ease with other types of motors.
The power and efficiency, because of
these reasons, is approximately one
fifth more than in other types of mo
tors of the same cylinder dimensions.
You will regret it if you allow your
self to be stampeded into buying a
motor car. Make sure that you un
derstand the fundamentals. You can
Very easily acquire an understanding
if these underlying mechanical princi
ples which it i snecessary to have in
order to buy a motor car intelligently.
We will be glad indeed to help you
acquire this knowledge at anv time.
