that It 1b needed nnd while there Is no
serious danger of u labor shortage
this season, It will be of great benefit
to tho fruitgrowers to have a thor

of the labor supply and a careful or

On! tlio AVcst," depicting Uncle Sam ,with the club of the
law in hand, jioundiiif; a snake's nest of "traitors, plotters,
anarchists, pro-Oerinai) socialists" and their ilk.
Tlit! cartoon is an expression of provincialism and an
appeal to sectionalism. The reflection that the west is
unpatriotic and traitorous is not only malicious hut false.
There exist no grounds for such a cartoon.
The west elected President Wilson. It has filled its
quota of voluiiteei's for the nation's defense and exceeded
the east in proportion to nunilier enlisted. It has sur
passed the east in responding to selective service not only
in proportionate registration, but in low percentage, of ex
emptions claimed. It is subscribing to its full share of
Liberty bonds. Its harvests will feed the world, and in
sure not only national salvation, but the success of the war.
Tilts west, of course, has its. anarchists, traitors and
plotters, but nothing like as many as the east in propor
tion to population. It lias fewer slackers, fewer plotters,
fewer t raitors, because it is purer American than the east,
with its hordes of European immigrants. Every conspir
acy that has been uncovered as nation-wide in its ramifica
tions, has its head in the east mostly in New York.
The west will answer for its patriotism and furnish the
men and the food that will win the world war and it needs
no advice from that collection of foreign cities labelled
New York, the headquarters of plotters, traitors and an
archists that threaten tlie nation's existence.
TOO LATE
HKIfHKK'T (.'. IIOOVEIJ, outlining his plans for lower
ing food prices to a delegation of labor representa
tives and congressmen yesterday, said it was vital that
congress pass the administration food bill immediately.
"Thru the last three veal's," Hoover told the delegation,
."two words have been written over the pages of English
history. 'Too late.' Unless the Lever bill is passed .im
mediately, before the grain is harvested, 'too late" will be
written into our own history."
Yet notwithstanding the fact that, the nation is at war
and that its future existence is threatened as a result of the
Russian collapse, congress wastes the precious moments in
endless debate over trivialities.
It took six weeks to enact a selective draft law to raise
an army. It has taken ten weeks to pass the war budget
providing the pay for the soldiers enlisted. The war reve
nue bill is still enmeshed in oratory while the espionage
bill with most of its valuable features blown off,' has final
ly weathered the gale of gab.
The various food control bills are adrift, blown hither
and thither in the tornado of talk that threatens to over
whelm them with disaster in the. interest of the food gam
bler, who neither sows nor reaps, but harvests the profits
of extortion at the expense of the nation.
Let us hope that the war will not be over thru the ca
pitulation of our allies before congress awakens to the need
of the hour action. Let us hope that it will not be written
about the United States as it has about Uritain that we
are too late!

YSLKTA, Tex., June 13. Two
American cavalrymen held the ford
here late last night against a band of
twenty-five armed and mounted Mex
icans who attempted to raid the
American settlement hero, driving
them back into Mexico after a tbird
had come to their assistance.
The Mexicans charged against the
Rio Grande at the old Ysleta ford, one
mile below the town and thirteen
miles east of Kl Paso. They opened
fire on tho two mounted cavalry pa
trols who dismounted, found cover
and returned the fire. The Mexicans
were driven back. Ono of the troop
ers said he saw a man drop from his
saddle, but no bodies could bo found.
The soldiers wlio held tho ford were
Privates Blake and Bearing, Troop C,
Eighth cavalry. Corporal McDade re
inforced thetn. Troops were sent
from El Paso, and Kort Bliss, but the
Mexicans did not return.
The Mexicans are believed to be
members of a gang of outlaws who
have their rendezvous at San Lorenzo,

SPAIN ADHERES TO
POLICY OF NEUTRALITY
MADRID, June 13. Ediumlo Dnto,
premier of the new Spanish cabi

of Miii'quis Dc Lenia to the post of
minister of foreign affairs was a
guarantee that the new Spanish gov
ernment would Continue to follow a
policy of uhsolule neutrality.
DID YOU SEE IT?
Conspicuous on tho streets of Medford Monday was a battle ship syrcy
colored Saxon Roadster hearing the inscription "Saxon Trail Blazer for Na
tional Boundary Highway." The car arrived in Medford at (i p. in., drove
down Main street and stopped at the A. AV. Walker Auto Co., where the pilot
A. W. Schlaback, was a guest while in the city. On the clay following the inaug
uration this ear left Washington, 1. C, on its journey around the boundary of
the United States, and it will he the first vehicle of any sort to completely define
our border. The car will continue its trip north from here to Seattle, across the
Canadian boundary to Maine, then down the Atlantic Coast to Washington. The
car has traveled 8000 miles of borderland through Miami, Florida, Brownsville,
Texas, El Paso, San Diego.
Of great significance is the fact that the trail blazed by this car will con
nect by tlie most direct motor route practically all of the important fortifica
trons and military posts which protect our country from invasion. Further
more, it. will connect the military and naval bases by a direct route with every
point on the entire boundary line of the United States, which might need pro
tection in time of war or might he of strategic importance from which to carry
on military operations.
That the Saxon Motor Car corporation is anxious to promote the rapid
construction nnd improvement of such boundary highway is natural, as their
cars have not only been prominent in trail blazing, but during the recent Mexi
can crisis, Saxon cars were used extensively in border service, and the conipanv
made a thoro study of the operation of motor oars in connection with army ma
neuvers and transport service. Observations showed that a good boundary
highway would have greatly facilitated operations on the border.
In sending a standard equipped Saxon Roadster to travel this proposed
highway and make exhaustive reports.. on conditions of roads, is a beginning of
what the motor car manufacturers may do to aid in building up an adequate
secondary national defense.
Not only is this highway expected to be of great benefit for national de
fense, but it will place many new cities and interesting places on a line of mo
tor travel, points which the motorist today has to make by special trip and at a
considerable cost in the delays and inconveniences that always aceonipauv a
trip into an unchartered country.
In the use of Saxon Four as trail blazer there is a speial interest to everv
automobile owner. The light weight, strongly constructed car demonstrates
ihe rapid strides which manufacturers are making to give motorists economi
cal cars w hich stand the strain and hardships of long tours. The Saxon trail
Mazer is keeping an accurate record of gasoline consumption and tire and re
pair costs for the onttirc trip, figures which should form a basis for estimates
of costs on a similar run by other motor ears.

K). Commenting on Pres. Wilson's,
note to Kussia, the Iierlinger Tagc
blntt, according to a Wolf buicau
dispateli to the Dutch newspapers,
says :
"The entente countries natuially
nio filled with satisfaction and grati
tude to President Wilson for hav
ing innde himself the mouthpiece of
the enemy alliance against democ
racy. President Wilson lias practiced
self-denial to such an extent that
that he could not have given the mes
sage a more appropriate superscrip
tion than 'Wilson versus Wilson;' but
perhaps he rates the judgment of the
representatives of the Russian people
insultingly low when he believes that
they will not grasp the meaning of
this tight rop performance by
Franco-British order with the object
of detaching the lfussiuns from their
standpoint."
The Vossiche Zeitung, under the
caption "War Message of a Peace
President," says:
. "Tltc turgid phrases ariTso fet'oign
to the 'German nature that the Oer
npin mind cannot understand how
one can honestly enthuse over the
fraternization of men nnd yet simul
taneously seek to prolong n most hor
rible war. Does Wilson write to Rus
sia to hasten the advent of peace?
No to prevent peace!
"From the chaos of the Russian
revolution there has arisen n lasting
and growing feeling, namely, a strong
will for peace. Kngland clings to
stolen territory. France dare 'not ad
