The men killed are lost to social ef fort to productiveness, to the nimin try of humanity's needs, to industry, to iirt, to letters. Economic Value of l ives. Some will shrink from discussion of the economic value of tho lives lost; will say in indignation that it ix a cruel philosophy which considers money terms when such toll of life is involved. But the estimate of economic value thim wiped out is merely to visunh.c what society n.s u mass has lost ol productiveness from human effort. These men have been luken from Pocinl relations forever, and some ono has to perform the work each one had to do women in many in nIhiiccn must tear themselves froir. home ties to hll the k; the whole structure of society must be reuiudc: cherished relationships inns', be ut tered. Kvery human living living if his country be in the slightest respect in contact with civilized institutions must pay in added labor and saeritiep for this hiatus in ncuuslomed activi ties. litres ltepenseiit On llllltoiia. It is then in no unfeeling frame ol mind that the T.lffll.linil men lost arc estimated at ttin.ftfM.nno.miO ot economic wealth.

Instructor ol government nnd business law in the school of commerce of the O. A. C, addressed tho high school assembly this noon, linking a plea for tho stu dents to go In for higher education and atlend some college. Tho gov ernment and country, ho nrguod, moro and moro needs trained men and women, and there Is rapid ad vancement ahead for such. In suport ot his contention that higher education better fits persona for advancement, especially Ir. war service, I'roT. Dubach pointed out that ot 12 no O. A. C men In war service 4 0 per cent wore officers, and or 120 men in service from the school or commerce CO per cent woro offi cers. Of last year's graduating class of the school of commcrco, 13 mem bers, eight are commissioned officers. An equally wonderful showing, Prof. ubueb said, Is mndo by the I'nlvors Ity of Oregon.

Kherle and Roliinson ale apples together and talked "good old'' Mcdford and lioguc river valley for hours. The three men are tnenihors of the Mcdford i: 1 k b lodge and until l.leii- itcnunt Cronemiller's letter was re ceived It was not known that Robin son, who had been away from .Mod ford for tin past three years, was In war service. E STAMP CAMPAIGN To the citizens of Jackson county: The third Llbsrty loan drive has come to a close with Jackson county well over tho top as she always Is, In response to our government's call In this hour of extreme emergency. But the war Is not yet won and we must not ceaso our efforts until the cruel Hun horde Is completely vanquished and brought to its knees. More money 1b needed by the government to meet tho enormous expenditures required to provide tlie war materials necessary for a successful termina tion. ' But something else is also needed. Tho productive power of the liberty- loving people of Europe has been im mensely reduced by tho systematic destruction of their fields and factor ies by this arch enemy fiend. Our fields and factories ample for do mestic purposos In tines of peace are not equal to th? extra, require ments thus thrown upon them, hen;e they must bo enlarged, extra fields must be planted and harvested, ships provided to export the necessarily high volume of war material as well as soldiers to the field of battle. What Is Asked Tho government Is straining every fibre to Increase production to meet these requirements. We have a host of soldiers and sailor boys (the flow er of the nation) your boys and my boyu. ready and willing to meet this enemy of civilization in battle, with the full realization of the dangers before them, and we are now asked by tho government to aid the situa tion by reducing our, demands on tho overworked mills and factories that they may thoroby be enabled to move rapidly, and completely meet the re qulrements of tho government and Its allies, that we deny ourselves somo of Hiobo things not necessary to our hoalth and efficiency and In vest the amount thus saved In war savings stamps, sometimes called "baby lionda." Is that asking loo much of us when others' are doing so much? Complying with this request will not only Improve our individual physical condition, but will stand for a permajiejjt.lnrjeftRO. In the moral and material efficiency of our coun try. Money Huck If Xeedoil Tho apportionment for Jackson county of these baby bonds to bo sold by January 1st, 1919, is G92,000! a huge sum considering the fact that the war conditions have almost para lyzcd us economically, but tho gov crnment does not ask it as gift but only as a short time loan with the best security on earth, and with, tho option of getting your money back at any time should your needs require It. Our citizens have now purchased approximately ten percent 09,000 and In order to go over the top in this endeavor, tho executlvo committee of Jackson county feels that It must havo tho moral and matorlal support of every citizen and it confidently ex pods that support. The committee havo taken rooms for the duration ot the campaign In tho Liberty building, room 211 nnd welcome is extended to all. especially volunteer workers, ltomembor, It Is your work as well as theirs and by cooperating you aro helping tho gov ernment In a war mcasuro of su premo Importance spreading broad cast tho habits of thrift and economy which alono can release thoso first requisites to victory labor and ma terial without which this wnr can not be won. Will yon glvo us your loyal sup port? Watch tho barometer at the head of tho tltlo pugo of this paper for tho answer. HENRY HART.

PUBLISH LIST OF TO Those persons who subscribed to the Rod Cross fund during the Red Cross campaign a year ago and have failed to keep their -'edges, will suffer the humiliation of having their ,names published In the newspapers and also the sums of their delinquen cy. Mayor Gates as chairman of the iRod Cross, announced this morning that he would give out the list to the newspapers Wednesday for publica tion. The total of unpaid pledges amounts to $400. Up to two days ago the sum was $600, but the mayor got busy on the phono and called up many delinquents and told them ho was about to publish the names of thoso who fnLled to keep their pledges. A number then made a grand rush to pay up and get under cover. Most of the present delinquents have been dunned repeatedly and have been called on by committees and urged to pay up. "Delinquents who thought I was bluffing when I stated some time ago that I would publish their names are going to be badly fooled," said Mayor Gates this noon "I expected to publish tho list today, but I was delayed. I want to have the new Red Cross campaign start out with a clean slate." "Everything my little 12-year-old Rirl ate distressed her; even a glnsB of water would ' cause her to belch gas and she was unable to go to school for nearly a year. I bought her a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful LRemedy, and since taking It she Is patlng us out of house and home and is attending school again."
