Well, that Yellow Demon crowd lias
come nnd nunc uml Medfonl is,
if possible inurt' patriotic and more
American because of their visit. The
visitors injected some pinker into the
local liberty bond campaign nnd at
the same time highly entert iiiic.1
nnd instructed us as to our sacred
duty in this time of crisis.
That Yellow Demon crowd simoly
overflows with pep nnd from the mo
ment that Mark Woodruff, the well
known veteran newspaper man of
Oregon, was introduced a- chairman,
they ran off their patriotic iirovrmn,
uio Keynote 01 wniciii was 1(1(1 ncr
cent Americanism, with a delightful
simp. It was probably the best of
the several patriotic meetings held in
this city, nnd left the nudience hun
gering; for more of the simu- kii.d.
The meeting at the Page began ,:i,nl
ly nfter 0 o'clock and was over by
30:30 o'clock.
The first speaker, Judge John II.
Stevenson of Portland, lived up to
Ms advance notices of being u:i able
orator, although he was hoarse from
Ins speaking at least twice a dnv a!!
week. He whs wi.i;!v introdurej bv
Mark Woodruff, who, because of the
judges height and spurenoss likened
liim to a guitar string.
Stevenson Wins Applause
And my Goodness.' how that htim.ui
guitar string did twang wittr imtn.'iii
sentiment, appeal for all to buy liber
ty bonds, warnings against pro (jer
mnnism, pacifism and insidunus
.Cerninn peace propagni'da. The
judge's speech so held his iiudii'n'le
with interest that it seemed short,
but ho covered all the ground t lug-
nif; the people to be 101 per cent
Americans.
"I appeal to yon American citizen
of Jackson county before or ilhcr
sun sets to pledge ev o-y cent you
can spare Iroin your actual needs lor
liberty bonds" he said in closing.
Let us do this in the good old Ore
gon wav mat win pin tne state over
the top by the end of the week. Don't
let it be said that Oregon and espe
cially Jackson county is less pat;
riotic than it was a vear or six
months ago. . . .
"This. is a life and death striigelr
for the "ernetuation of democratic
institutions and principles nfains!
autocratic institutions nnd ideas
All the Christian nations with Chris
tian ideals are aligned against pa
gnnism, barbarism, tyranny and an
toerncy in this great world struggle.'
Sergeant White Makes Hit
No less interesting was the address
of Sergeatn II. L. White of the .Villi
Canadian regiment, for it was reall
an able address. This young man,
now on'-- 27. spent two of the lies)
years ot Ins life at the western front
was wounded at Yimy Hidee. In 1 1
was gassed and uncut nine months i
hospitals recovering from its effect
nnd then was invalided, home hon.'r
nbly discharged. lint hud he com
plcted his hit f Far from it. An
uiougii nniit tor lurthcr active sir
vice lie is still at his bit, doing'tha
winch he still can do, sneaking all
over the country in furtherance
the liberty loan and other
drives. His zeal is added to bv the
fnet that two of his brother- w v
killed in Y ranee and n third is .til
fighting there. There were onlv fon
boys in the family.
The sergeant's speech was mailv
devoted to n ringing appeal for the
purchase of liberty bonds and the
necessity for so doing, and prciiiliiii"
100 per cent Americanism. Al
though he is a Canadian, he said that
while he was in this country he tiro
posed to regard himself as an Amer
ican and conduct himself as one of
the very best.
Jtcnoiinces I. V. W.lsni
Sergeant While is an educated man
and proved to be iiite un orator.
His denunciation of I. W. W.ism,
pro-Germanism, and yellow dog
Amerienns was scathing and sting
ing. He classed as yellow dogs all
those citizens who are evading their
duty in not purchasing liberty bonds
nnd giving to other patriotic causes,
when financially able to do so. lie
also related briefly some of his ex
periences at the front and described
some of the German atrocities he had
run across during his 1,-ng service.
A mirth provoking feature of the
meeting was the humorous "ro.i-t-ing"
of each other by Chairman
Woodruff and Judge Stevenson.

ASHLAND, Sept. 17. With a quo
ta, of .flSl.iiOo for Ashland, which
territory includes Itelleview, Neil
'reek and a few other suburban lo
alties, the registered Liberty bond
ubscriptions up to Friday noon
were approximately $ 100.000. f At
noon Wednesday 1151 registrants had
ubscrihed in spot fash or pledge
-T.ViOO, and by Thursday nnon prac
tically half of the quota had been ob
tained, liy wav of comparison with
the third Liberty loan, when 048 in
jur subscribed $1m,I(H for that
tmrtieulur series, it should be borne
in mind that the record here pracli-
ally doubled the quota on that oc-
asion, hut this was accomplished
under persistent drive methods, iu-
tead of the voluntary subscription
plan as adapted in collection with,
the campaign in behalf of the fourth
bond issue. The voluntary plan, how
ever, promises to end in us lively
work, though perhaps nlonjr diner-
nt linen, as that accompanying the
persistent house-to-house can vass
ast spring. Subscription booths at
he banks on t hnrday were open
mtil 5 p. m., nnd on Friday nijiht
be roundup features will he prolon;-
d at the same headquarters until 1)
lock.
Adjuncts to OtniiiaiKii
Adjuncts to the campaign have
been music, speeches, movie attrac
tions? nnd notably the viit of the
Yellow Demon car, which arrived on
Thursday afternoon at the trvstinir
ilace near Kingsbury Springs, a
little ahead of schedule time, the
hour having been set for 4 o'clock,
The Demon was escorted into town
by scores of other ears which had
met at the appointed rendezvous, and
bv the time the west terminal of
the Uoulevard was reached, the pro
ession had asMiiued one of holiday
proportions, beaded by the band with
U. K. Madsden, a visiting theatrical
man, posing as I nele Nun in the
role of drum major. Madseti claims
be the, tallest man in the world,
reaching the apex even in this hiirl
latitude of seven and one-half feet
After the terminal stop here the
Yellow Demon hurried off to Med-
ford. Amou its passengers .lud,
Stevenson and Serirt. While spoke in
the park near the limits of the I'laza
at 4:'M) o'clock. In the evening, after
patriotic movie performance.

Did it ever occur to you that you can
partake of Swift & Company's profits,
and also share its risks, by becoming a
co-partner in the business? It is not a
close corporation.
You can do this by buying Swift & Company
shares, which are traded in on the Chicago and

There are now over 22,000 shareholders of
Swift & Company, 3,500 of whom are employes of
the Company. These 22.000 shareholders include
7,800 women.
Cash dividends have been paid continuously for
thirty years. The regular rate at present is 8 per cent.
The capital stock is all one. kind, namely, com

common stock represents actual values. There is no
I'water," neither have good will, trade marks, nor pat

not for the purpose of booming Swift & Company

We welcome, however, live stock producers,
retailers, and consumers as co-partners.
We particularly like to have for shareholders the
