DEATH VALLEY DODGE It has lifi'i) decided definitely that the "Death Valley Dodge'' motion pic tures will bo shown In Medrord. Word wart received by fternard Motor eoiu pan', D0di;o llrotliers lociU denier, that tint film hus been allotted to him for October 25 and IMHh, when It will be shown tit the Page Theatre. The coining of this production In sures for Medford an. opportunity to see the "mibelloveable" in motoring. No line could iimiKlne that the lien ill Vulley Dodge's fents were posslblu un less they wore enacted before his eyes. The film provided by Dodgo Brothers for the benefit of their dealers, putrons and the public in general, leaves no opportunity for imagination. It crosses an expanse of desert area on which many an ex plorer .has gone to death. Sands, rocks and rivers form no harrier, fountains are made mere mole hills. Critics have termed It one of the most remarkable pictures yet pro duced. The fact that all these ob stacles were surmounted y nn ordi nary stock car, selected from tho salesroom of tho Los Angeles denier, bespeaks the quality of Dodge Broth ers car. "This picture must be exceptionally vivid and convincing," said Mr. Hcr naid "or the company would not ex pend an enormous sum to produce It liol'ore the entire country nnd oven In cities of other nations." HEART IS CUT OPEN AND THEN SEWED UP TONOPAII. Nov., Oct. . ID.

To the Kdilor: Having watched the papers in tho county during the whole of this cam paign and not having seen but a very few of the candidates names In print stating what their intentions are, how am I or any of the other voters to know who to voto for, unless 1 happen to be personally acquainted with some of them, if they do not tare to put themselves ou record through the public paper. It hardly seems creditable to think that they are a bunch of grafters, but it begins to look as it they were all 111 tho class with one of them, who stated in my presence, that if lie couldn't be elected without pledges, that "ho didn't care for the office." "Why? We do not all of us know who ! those men are. some of them have spoken through the papers, but what of the rest of them. They are am bitious to bo the custodians of the thousands that we. tho tax payers, entrust to the county officer's aanos, nnd I think It Is mi morn than right that they should give us the assur ance that It Is at leait their Inten tion to bo honest and to give us their views ns to their ideas In regard to tho ways and means proposed in handling the public funds. What Is the reason these men do not come out Into the open anil iiubllsh facts, signed facts, that ran go ou record? Is it the fault of thej county press. ;.r have the candidates fallen hack onto tho old ''Vniidurhlll Idea" of "the public be damned." Respectfully a Voter II. KKVIXK WHAM TON'. '. Cold J 1111, October IT. WHEN Candidate Ilulips was a supreme court justice .in Washington in the early years of the Wilson reu-iine, he said in discussing the difficulties of the admin istration in its foreign relations with Dudley Mallone, the assistant secretary of state: "The president Is doing magnificently," Now that .Mr. Hughes lias become a 100 per cent candi date, however, he querelously declares that nothing' the president has done or attempted to do is right. When Elihu Root was United States senator, in April, 1914, with tears streaming down his cheeks and a voice that shook with emotion he pledged his support and loy alty to the president in everything he might do in this coun try's complications with Mexico, in the following words: "Thank Ilcoven wo have a president in whose loflv character, in whose sincerity of piirnnso to do what la right, wise, patriotic, and what is best fo.- the country and humanity, we can all trust absolutely. I trust In it. I have confidence in the character und purpose of the president. He is my prosiueiii auu i niu suiiiu oeiuuu mm in nis leauersmp. ' Mr. Hoot is now bitterly assailing the president and damning nun lor carrying out that very policy he then indorsed anti pledged support to, and urging it as the main reason lor deleat. When President Wilson had bv diplomacy skillfully averted armed intervention in Mexico and participation m the European conflict, Raymond Robins, the progressive candidate for United Stales senator in Illinois, said in his n .. i ; ii v ttieago ouseimi aticiress: "The most skillful, the most courageous, the greatest stntesmanshio of mo wri two years in mis woriu was tne manner in which Wilson averted war between this country and Mexico. The reason that the blood of Ameri can men sons of our homes, is not today reddening tho hot sands of Mexico to servo the interests of n few corporation magnates and speculators is due mor to the courage and constancy of Woodrow Wilson than to any other factor in American lite. 1 would count myself poor nnd small indeed if I were not able to recognize wisdom, courage and public service, even if it had been shown by the chief -if un opposing party." Kavmond Robins is todav proving himself "poor and unall" indeed by stumping the country, attacking the pres ident for the Very statesmanship he then lauded. When President Wilson had, by his despised notes. forced a concession from Germany that, war could not have obtained, and secured the abandonment of objectionable features of submarine warfare, and the promise of its con duct according to principles of international law, William Allen V lute, the Kansas progressive leader, wrote: 'How well President Wilson seems to have managed It this whole sordid business of going to war; how. fair he has been; how patient how dignified, how infinitely gentle and kind! So bluster; no threats; no snicker of anticipation; no licking of nation's chops Just a slmple-souled, brave, Boft-hearted, hard-headed man. 11 Is sad enough to go Into wnr of any kind at any time; but it is less snd lo go knowing that every honorable means has been taken to keep away from war. And this consolntlon President Wilson has given us by his wlsu, lorbcarlng, Christian attitude before the provoca tion of a Toe mad and desperate and foolish. Tho good Clod, who knows and watches over all nnd sees all n0 directs all, was in our hearts deeper than wo knew when ns a nntlon we chose this great, serene soul to lend us." Yet, we art! told today that the nation never faced a risis, that there never was any danger of war, that a child ould have solved the country's problems! A few short months ago and the, peace policies so odious to Wall street had th e approval of scared statesmen, shifty politicians, a grateful public and an admiring press. But a political campaign approached, and as if by magic the littleness of partisanship asserted itself. A'reinarkable administrative record had been made. More progressive and humanitarian legislation had been enacted than for half a century. The country was prosperous and at peace with the world. There was no valid reason for a change, save that the outs wanted in and special privilege an inn ing. And in the twinkling of an eye the saint became a sinner of the blackest dye. Woodrow Wilson's reward for keeping the nation out of war is to be called from ten thousand rostrums and ki ten thousand newspapers, a coward, a poltroon, a blun derer, a falsifier and a IVntius Pilate. J lis patience and serenity are distorted as pitiable weakness, his strength and vision as despicable feebleness. And the Liliputians of politics and parasites of privilege have descended into the Neweis for slime and filth to besmirch the fair fame and good name of the president of the United States. And women are elevating politics to a "higher moral plane" by whispering libelous, salacious gossii scandal Sallies of politics! ' A few short months hence, when the fever of politics .1. II 1.

Southern Alabama and Western Florida were recovering today from the hurricane which swept out of the gulf across this coast yesterday, causing two deaths und property and marine loss. Although the wind attained a greater velocity than that which accompanied the storm of last July, both Mobile and Pensacola, the chief cities in the hurricane's path, suffered far less damage. The total loss in the two cities probubly will not exceed f 100, 000. The chief damage here was to rail road sheds and terminals and to tele phone,' telegraph and light and power wires. Several persons were blown through plate glass windows, but escaped serious injury. At Pensacola the government aero planes escaped but several buildings were damaged. The electric light plant also was put out of commission. Train service from Pensacola to Jack sonville will be suspended for a week. Two small vessels here sank, while four others were driven ashore. A number of small craft were destroyed. At Pensacola one steamer went down, another Is missing, with the fate of the crew undetermined, three fishing boats wero blown ashore and two big freighters were damaged. A cook ou the sunken steamer was drowned. Although the storm's intensity de creased as it swept Inland, southern Alabama suffered considerably, some houses being unroofed nud pole blown down nt Opp and Troy, while minor damage was done In a number of other towns. Standing timber also was said to huvo been levelled in many places, but the citrus fruit crop in both this state and Florida up parently did not suffer to any great extent. The storm was accompanied by two distinct earthquuke shocks, which were felt as far north as Loulsvillo, Ky., and as far east as Augusta, tia. The tremors were more decided at Birmingham than elsewhere, and there thotisunds of persons rushed from their homes and offices. No material damage was done. L WEST OMAHA, Oct. 19. A rain and sleet storm, which lasted most of the night, turned to snow here early this morning and at 10:30 a. m. was still heavily falling.

The storm In South Dakota continued unabated at 10:30 a. m. The western portion of Iowa also felt the grip of the snowstorm. Sioux City is covered with two Inches of snow. The blizzard, which is one of the earliest storms that has hit tho mid dle west In many years, will be of great benefit to the wheat crop.

Empire Land Plaster Fertilizer Gypsum or Laud Plaster, as it Is known to the farmer, is a sulphate of lime, which has been recognized for years as a valuable fertilizer, and the best stimulant and regulator of the physical conditions of the soil that nature has provided. It is composed of 46 per cent, sulphuric acid, 33 per cent, lime and 21 per cent, water. It contains two of the most common plant foods, lime and sulphur. Dr. Horace E. Stockbridgo of the Florida Agricul tural College, speaking of Gypsum, says with regard to lime: "Where the mountain limestone is at the surface, soils of remarkable properties are the result their grazing qualities being unequaled. The renowned bluegrass region of Kentucky supplies the best possible evidence In support of the fact." Empire is cspeclaly adapted to alfalfa nnd clovers. We carry vetch, grey oats, alfalfa and all kinds of pasture grasses. Monarch Seed & Feed Co. MKDFOKIt, OKKfJOX. Krumbles Is a - j . strengthening - ; L winter cereal ; !
