RYE FLOUR WITH
ooAyr
This man for J5 years has been
performing hair raising stunts on an
aerial apparatus (id feet hii'li with
out nccidenl. The ironv of futc as
serted itself last l'Ylirmirv when Ihe
inti'i'p'ul aeriulist fell off a packing
case in his garage and broke an arm.
He is all right now and will be seen
twice daily in free acts next week
during the carnival for the Greater
.Medford club's patriotic fund. He is
known as 1'p-Iligh licno and this is
his third season with the Koley and
Ilurke combined shows. His act is so
hazardous that no insurance com
pany will accept him as a risk.
Two sacks of rye flour, manufac
tured at Portland and purchased at a
Central Point store, were found to
contain broken glass which gave
rise to tho story that the flour was
manufactured at Central Point. In
vestigation proved the job, If It was
a job, . was a very crude one, the
glass being evldontly from broken
electric light bulbs or lamp chimneys,
not pulverized, and was detected upon
opening the sacks and before use of
the flour. It may have accidentally
got Into the sacks.
' The flour was p'urchased by F.
Louslgnont and tho presence of
ground glass reported to the district
attorney, who In turn reported it to
the federal government and is await
ing developments. There were five
sacks of rye flour In the shipment
from the Portland mills. Two sacks,
wero opened, and had the glass. The
other threo have not been opened and
are held by the- district attorney,
pending instructions from the , de-
partment of justice, which has al
ready had an Investigator here.
To counteract the malicious ru
mors In circulation Mr. Louslgnont
has made the following affidavit,
showing that the Central Point mills,
which are not equipped for making
rye flour, and never have made any.
are in no ways Involved:
TO the Public:
I wish to correct the story and
malicious rumors that have been In
circulation Insofar as they concern
and cloud the'good name of the Cen
tral Point Flouring Mills and their
products. 1
In explanation will say that tho rye
flour in which I found glass was not
made or sold by the aforesaid mills,
but came from a largo mill in the
north.
Insofar as I know the honor and
integrity of the Central Point Mills
and tho quality and purity of their
products are beyond suspicion, and I
would not hesituto to recommend
them.

DUBLIN, May 24. Tho anti-conscription
fund which in less than a
month has grown to nearly 'JTJOIIU
000, bids fair to become one of the
most Important factors in the devel
opment of tho Internal political situa
tion. It Is tho largest fund ever
raised In Ireland for a political pur
pose and being In control of the
mansion house conference, that body
finds itself in a position of greater fi
nancial power than any political or
ganization in Ireland today.
Thus, tho conference! unless man
aged unscrupulously, would be able
to influence tremendously the action
of any nationalist politcnl organiza
tion. This opens many dangerous
poslbllltes to which the moderate
leaders in Dublin have devoted anx
ious attention recently. '

What does it mean to you to know that your
American Red Cross : . , ,
Is supportinp; 50,000 French children. '
Sends supplies to 3,423 French military hospitals.
Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings.
Is operating thirty canteens at the front line.
Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 30,000
French soldiers a day. '
Operates a movable hospital in four units, accommodating 1,000 men.
Is operating a children's refuge in one part of the war zone; and in another
a medical center, and traveling dispensary, both capable of aocommodating more
than 2,000 children. .
Has opened a long chain of warehouses stocked with hospital supplies, food,
soldiers' comforts, tobacco, blankets, etc., all tho way from the seaboard to th'J.

Has 400 motor cars and operates 7 garages, making all repairs.
Had shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to Italy from Franco
within two weeks after it began operating in the former country.
Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the
United States declared war on Austria. . i
Started a thousand different activities in Italy at the time that nation was in
its most critical condition. '
Has .established 5 hospitals in England and operates a workshop for hospital j

And that 120,000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris headquar- .1
ters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered throughout the S
United States. ' v-J
What does all this mean to you ? And that is
but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless,
heroic work of the American Red Cross we could
never win this war. , M

Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep ,
Italy in the fight for Liberty would not have been si
possible. v ,
Without your Red Cross thousands of French
soldiers now gallantly fighting for you at the front
would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food.
And great and wonderful as has been the work
of the American Red Cross in the past, still greater
and more wonderful must it be in the future for
now your boy is in the fight.
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England,
Italy, Serbia, Roumania and little Belgium. It must
give them all constantly increasing help, for the men
of these countries have been fighting our battles.
But now we must all redouble our efforts and
sacrifices for our Red Cross because a million mothers'
sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the
greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting
for honor and liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross your boy will
win.
