'.My father has heen a resident of
this country lor twenty-five years,
and took out his eiti.enship papers
three days after I was born," said
yonni? llolslcin. "In the San Kriin
eiseo earthquake his paers were
burned up. I'll admit that for some
lime after the present Kuropeim war
broke out father was radically in fa
vor of (icrniany, but he Inter turned
strongly against Germany's cause for
some reason. There were sixteen
children in our family, and one of
lay brothers mid my brother-in-law
are 1'ie.htinir in the (lennan army.
"I can see that some of the ac
tions of my father while ho was in
Mcdford may have looked suspicious
to some people, but without just
cause. For instance, bis niovini: of
our family into the house in the rear
of the Ciitlibert building shortly af
ter C'ouipany I moved into that bitilil
ini;. We moved because it was bet
ter quarters than the rooms we had
been living in.
"Several weeks ni,ro father and my
little brother, Frank, who became
Company 7's mascot, reached Mcd
ford from the Mexican border bv
working their way from town to
town by Frank's nivinj; musical exhi
bitions. "My mother and I were at Frisco,
where 1 was workiii',', anil we decid
ed to join them here, liesides, I
wanted to get work in a mine here.
We reached Mcdford last week, and
J'ni Ruinir to try and (tot a job here.
I would enlist in the ariuv at once,
only I am now the support of my
mother. That's the kinc of good
American I ant.
"You see, when the New York
Symphony orchestra was here last
Tuesday, brother Frank played the
violin and cornet before Ziuihulist,
the famous violinist, and others.
They were so pleased that they told
Frank and father if Frank would
come to New York they would L'ive
him free music lessons and instruc
tion and promised that at the end of
six mouths they would net him a job
in the orchestra at $45 a month.
"So yesterday father and Frank
started to work their way from town
to town by fiivinir conceits until they
reach New York. That's why they
only houiilit tickets to (limits Pass."

Harnett, the commandant of the "sol

The present crisis is causing inanv
patriotic young men to investigate
the different avenues in which thev
may protect the freedom which they
enjoy, and those undecided as to
whether they wou'd "do their lot" as

SHORTAGE OF EGGS
KEEPS PRICES UP
The high price of eggs in Mcdford
for this time of year is mainly due
to shortage of production, it is said,
caused by the high prices of grain.
Many persons have killed off some
of their hens rather than support
them with the high-priced grain.
Then, too, moSt of the eggs coming
in arc purchased for packing, nnd to
supply the Paget Sound nnd Aluskn
trade. There is big demand for eggs
from these sections. In the past five
weeks it is estimated that at lenst
two carloads of eggs have been ship
ped out from Mcdford.
Kggs nro now' selling nt retail for
80 cents a dozen, or two dozen for
53 cents. The prices paid by Xfeil-
ford grocers and other buyers to pro
ducers varies, but averages about 30
cents n dozen in trade to or 27
cents n dozen cash payment.
The X.'nion Meat company, which
went into the egg business for the
first time this year, nnd which is
seeking to stimulate the egg produc
tion nnd quality in the Rogue River
valley, sent out the following circular
thirty days ngo, which Manager K. J.
Nedd says is already producing good
results :
'Thousands of dollars nre lost an
nually to the Oregon egg industry bv
indifferent and careless methods. If
vou want the top price for your eggs
follow the directions given below and
watch your egg profits grow:
"1. Don't wash the dirty eggs or
wipe them off with damp cloth. If
vou must sell dirty eggs, sell them as
thev come from the nest.
"2. Use the dirty and small eggs
at home.
"II. Gather the eggs nt lenst twice
daily.
'4. Hold the eggs in a cool place,
but not in a dump or musty cave or
cellar, and keep them dry.
'."). Market your eggs ns frequent
ly ns jxissible.
'ti. Hen houses should be located
on high ground, should be kept clean
nnd dry and ground surrounding
houses well covered with gravel."
