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

structure of society must be reuiudc:

country be in the slightest respect in
contact with civilized institutions
must pay in added labor and saeritiep
for this hiatus in ncuuslomed activi

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. It each could earn

mat economic wealth ot that sort

WAR DEMONSTRATES
Prof. U. G. Dubach. 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.
This afternoon Prof. Duhneh de
livered a similar address before tho
Central Point high school, and to
morrow morning ho will address the
Ashland high school.

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.

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." It Is a

removes tho catarrhal mucus from
the Intestinal tract and allays the In

Away With Your Sprays and Inhalers : -If
You Want to be Rid of Catarrh
Deep-Seated Disease That Can
not Be Reached by Local
Treatment.
When you hawk and spit until you
almost strangle in an effort to get
your breath, because your air-passages
are all choked up with Catarrh,
and your condition grows worse from
day to day, you are about ready, to
realize that Catarrh is by no means a
simple ailment, ,
If you have had the disease for any
length of time, you have doubtless
used enough treatment to convince
you that you will not be ablo to find
any lasting relief from the remedies
that are so generally relied upon.
Others who have been afflicted with
Catarrh h:;ve used atomizers and
sprays, ointments, salves, jellies and
other local applications by the whole
sale, without making the slightest
progress toward a cure.
You are doomed to the same disap
pointment, if you rely upon the same
misdirected methods of treating this
disease, for Catarrh is too stubborn
and deep-seated to be reached by
medicated applications which are ap
plied only to the surface.
Why not save yourself the expense

and' the delay of getting on the right
rouV by discarding entirely all these
plans of treatment which others have
found to be absolutely without
merit T Not only is Catarrh a source
of suffering to yourself, and annoy
ing and repulsive to those about you,
but it is a disease that is not to be
considered lightly, for if it is not
checked the lungs Bomctimes become
affected, and everyone knows how
serious thi.t is.
Catarrh 5s caused by millions of
tiny disease germs that infest the
blood. 'When they attack the delicate
membranes and air passages of the
nose and throat; you can never get
rid of them by sprays and atomizers.
They must be thoroughly routed
from the blood. That is why S. S. S.
is used so successfully in treating Ca
tarrh. This remedy is so thorough in
cleansing the blood that it routs out
