ROWLEY CRUiT
A letter has been received
from Rowley . Crult, a young
Englishman who made his . home
with Senator Von der Hellen at
Welleu and later attended the
agricultural college at Conallls, and
last year went across as lieutenant
of artillery with the Canadian expe
ditionary force. The letter is dited
from "France, January 15th"
"So you want to know if I have
'been in a battle!" lN'ow, I am in the
Canadian corps do you ever read
the papers? Anyhow I have been in
several shows during tho last year,
and In the line constantly with the
exception of about a month. I do
my own censoring, but I cannot very
well put in my own letters things
which I would not allow to go thru
in another man's can 1? Still 1
suppose It won't hurt to talk in a
r general way about things well in the
past. So here goes for a fairly typical
show, which happenedsomewhere
some time.
I got orders as P. O. O. at midnight
jero being about 6 a. m- that
meant a five-mile hike thru the
awfullest mud in the world thru
country one didn't know to a place
one had never heard of, or which
very few other people had ever heard
of. Anyhow we got there about five
next morning in time to stroll thru
a few hundred yards of Hun shrap
nel barrage.
Zero:, hour: in a copse, outside a
pill box, glasses to your eyes crash,
which does not stop, and she's otr.
The roll of tho heavies, somewhat as
the tempo of a largo number of big
drums the drummers having gone
back, then the sharper sound of the
field guns just solid sound. If you
look back It's Just barely light. The
horlzen is simply one flickering flash
continues.
. Finally you see a line of men
your own people on the crest In front
A line that sort of melts away oc
casionally and wavers backwards and
forwards somewhat In front ot it
the Inferno of your own rolling bar
rageand all the time a crazed chat
ter of all the machine guns In the
. world. In this case the line was on
the crest a dnmnubly long time, but
at last it disappears and after a long
time the signals go up objectives
gained all along the line! Then you
take a long drink. We started for
homo in the evening and for a solid
hour and a half tramped unhappily
thru the damnodestH-E barrage 1
have ever bumped Into. We hardly
expected to get home but we did
Then a long, a very long Scotch,
and a little, a very little, soda.

There is mystery surrounding the
nmiy recruiting office in MetH'onl,
which has been closed ever since
Serjeant Gustuv Weston, who was
in charne, was ordered by telegraph
to report to the commander of the
recruiting district at Portland, for
further orders or assignment.
This was nlmut there weeks ntro
and Mnce that time no word has
been received from Sergeant Wes
ton, nor has any one appeared to
take charge of the office. As to
wither the office will be reopened
or not is unknown. Sergeant Wes
ton locked the door when he left and
the office in the federal 'building
lias been locked up ever since.
rut :i :s kurvvn that the lack of
an army recruiting office in Afed-
furtl lias been causing- much incon
venience and expense to young men
who desire to enlist, and in fact has
deterred a number from enlisting.
Several have paid their own ex
penses to Grants Pass or Portland
to enlist. Others who were without
funds to do this have been patiently
waiting for the office here to re
open. The army has a recruiting office
at Grant's Pass, mid voung men of
Med ford and vicinity to nvid much
expense had better enlist there
rather than pay their own fare and
other expenses lo Portland.

RED CROSS WEEK
SET FOR MAY 20
BY PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON. May S. President
Wilson today Issued a proclamation
designating the week beginning May
0 as "Red Cross week," and calling
upon the American people to contrib
ute generously to the second one
hundred million war fund for the
American Red Cross ror ilio allevia-
tion of suffering among the Amer
ican troops in France and their de
pendents at home and among' the
fighting forces and civilian popula
tions of tlio allied countries. The
proclamation follows:
Prtini dent's Proclamat Inn
Inasmuch as tho war fund of
1917, so generously contributed by
the American people to the American
Red Cross for the administration of
relief at home and broad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria
tions of the welfare of the men In our
land and naval forces and for those
dependent upon them, and for the
yet more urgent necessities of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt of war. '
'And inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has brot
unprecedented demands upon the pa
triotism and liherality of our people,
and made evident the necessity of
concentrating the work of relief In
one main organization which can re
spond effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress
of war, and inasmuch as the duration
of the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy,
with the governments of our allies,
and with foreign relief organizations,
have resulted In the discovery of now
opportunities for helpfulness under
conditions which translate opportun
ity into duty.
I ted Cross Is Faithful
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and its com
missioners In Europe have faithfully
and economically adininlstored the
people's trust:
"Now therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United
States and president of the American
Rd Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim tho week beginning
May 20, 1918, as 'Red Cross week,'
during which the people of tho Unit
ed States will be called upon again to
give generously to the continuation
of the Important work of relieving
distress, restoring tho waste of war,
and assisting in maintaining the mor
ale of our troop.; and the troops and
peoples of our allies, by this manifes
tation of effort and sacrifice on the
part of those who, tho not privileged
to bear arms, are of one spirit, pur
pose, and determination with our
warriors.
"In witness whereof, I havo here
unto set my hand and caused the sent
of the United States to bo affixed."

frightfulness was denounced and the

After reviewing the events leading

Thomas Skey hill. Anz.ac soldier,
who has been wounded many times
and whose sight only recently was
partly restored to him, asserted that
many of the allied failures were due
primarily to lack of preparedness.
"This is not only a soldiers war,"
ho said, "but It Is ulso a civilian's
war.' I say to you people of America:
Arise, arise, tho foe is at the gate.
The crisfH of this war Is approaching.
Men, money, munitions are urgently
wanted. So for God's sake, pro pa re,
prepare, prepare, because- America
prepared Is Germany defeated."

Both Ends
( Producer and Consumer )
Against
The Middle
( The Packer)
The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat.
The farmer vants to get a high price for cattle.
The packer stands between these conflicting
demands, and finds it impossible to completely
satisfy both.
The packer has no control over the prices of live
stock or meat, and the most that can be expected
of him is that he keep the difference between the
two as low as possible. He does this successfully
by converting animals into meat and distributing
the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit
too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns
for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer.
Swift &. Company's 1917 transactions . in
Cattle were as follows:
Average Per Head
Sold meat to Retailer for ...
Sold By-products for ....
Total Receipts
Paid to Cattle Raiser ....
Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser)
Paid for labor and expenses at
Packing House, Freight on Meat,
and Cost of operating Branch
distributing houses ... . .
Remaining in Packers' hands as
returns on investment ....
The net profit was $1.29 per head, or about
one-fourth cf a cent per pound of beef.
By what other method can the difference be
tween cattle prices and beef prices be made smaller,
and how can the conflicting demands of producer
and consumer be better satisfied?
