J.G.
J. C. Herbsraan of Seattle, with his
hundred-horsepower, rapid-fire vol
leys or truths, set the spines of the
workers to tingling and sent them
away from the luncliec!i meeting yes
terday endowed with a re-lnforced
confidence and an unconquerable de
termination to bring tho drive to a
speedy and successful termination.
JMt. Herbsman's subject was "lry
bones." Always with a amite which
took the Bting from his frank and apt
descriptions he dug up pile after pile
of the dry hones which lire buried
under the Jack-of-progres tomb
stones of every community. He held
them up to the sunlight, shook them
until they rattled and depicted their
loathsome features with a smashing
artistry of words. He accomplished
the most difficult undertaking at
tempted by the man who deals in the
intangible and yet all important com
munity assets of love, loyalty and
spirit to serve; he brought out and
made practical his visions until they
stood as clearly defined as geometri
cal diagrams. Interspersing his prac
tical .visions of the future with facts
of tho present and achievements of
the past he built. a vision for his hear
ers which brought tears of sincerity
to the eye and the bulldog tautuess
of determination to the jaw.
Valley of lry Hones
JIfs talk was built around the bibli
cal story of the man who came Into
the valley of dry bones; found piles
of dry bones everywhere; heard the
great noise and witnessed the great
upheaval; saw tho bones gather to
gether; saw the sinews and flesh
come upon them and the skin above;
and finally the spirit which imbued
them.
"Let us not say in AI eel ford, hut in
evory other com in 11 ni ty , a re f c u nd
these piles of dry bones," said the
speaker. "There are piles of varying
size and over each of these is a tomb,
stone." He followed with descrip
tions of the varieties of dry bones and
struck home time after time and
brought forth ejaculations from the
"workers who have stumbled
over some of these bones in their en
deavors. First was tombstone in
scribed "Standstiller" who .Mr. Herbs
man described as "tho people who be
lieve things are good enough." He
painted a picturo of the advance of
progress illustrating with the won
derful strides made in the use of elec
tricity aud in transportation. He
told of the wonderful possibilities of
the water-power available for hydro
electric purposes in the northwest;
wonderful because practically unlim
ited and forever inexhaustible. He
plead with his hearers to catch a vis
ion of the Medford of 1930, expressed
his appreciation of the steps Medford
was taking in this campaign toward
making a vision and making the vis
ion a reality. 'Ho gave as a watch
word for '.Medford, "Watch the rising,
not the setting sun."
Tho SidelineiH
Under the second tombstone he de
picted tho "Sideliners"; the fellows
who do no work themselves but stand
cu the sidelines and criticize the fel-
M it rib Worst Mimih for This Trouble
How to Kmiove Kiisily.
There's a reason why nearly every
body freckU-s in Muivh, but happily
there is also a remedy fur these ugly
blemishes, and no one need stay
freckled.
Simply get an ounce of Othtne,
double strength, from your druggist
and apply a little of it nighta nd mor
ning, and in a few days you should
see that even the worst freckles have
begun to disappear, while the light
ones have vanished entirely. Now is
the time to rid yourself of freckles,
for if not removed now they may flay
all Summer, and spoil an ot her wise
beautiful complexion. Your money
back if Oihine falls. Adv.
lows who are working. They offer
no constructive suggestions, nothing
but destructive criticism, "if you
won't blow a horn, beat a drum, bear
a banner, or at least boost for the
parade, for your city's sake, keep
your mouths shut." he commanded.
I'nder the third tombstone he plac
ed tho shirkers and slackers who he
described as worse than the siile
liuers because they do not even take
enough interest to criticize. He told
the story of (he laziest man who was
so lazy he wouldn't even roll over in
bed and who was made to tUv useful
work by the placing of a setting of
eggs against him so that the bodily
warmth would make human incuba
tor of them if they could be made
to work for community good in no
other way.
The fourth pile of bones, one of
the largest, contained the tightwads.
In a community these are the men
whose land was made valuable or
business prosperous by the energy of
others in building up the community
and who now sits back and lets the
other fellow continue to make tho
community prosperous.
Lesson of (living
"The biggest lesson of the war
America learned was to give for the
building up aud preservation of man
kind," he stated, and appealed to the
men and women of Medford to give
of service and money in order to
build tbe community for its hoys,
girls, men and women, saying, "the
greatest need of this community is
the spirit of serving, thinking and
giving for the community."
To a deep grave beneath the fifth
tombstone he assigned the fifth and
largest pile of bones "The Knock
ers." His description of a knocker
was classic. It had the fizz of a
bromo-seltzer and the kick of one of
those little green drinks with the big
effect, He closed his description with
the suggestion that knockers be bur
ied face downward so that (ho harder
they knocked the deeper they, would
dig themselves In. Mr. Herbsman,
while not qualifying his opinion of
the knocker, said that this opinion
he did not extend to the "kicker"
and described the kicker as a man
who used not only the hammer but
the saw, the level aud all other tools
and is constructive. He remarked,
"it pays to kick if the kicking is done
In the right place, quoting tho case
of the frog who fell in tho can of
cream and kicked until he had churn
ed it full of butter and hopped out.
"(Jet your kickers to come inside tho
organization to do their kicking," he
urged.
Don't (Jet Chesty
The present campaign he compared
to the "great noise and shaking." The
co-operation which is arising he com
pared to the coming together of the
bones. The simile was carried out to
the placing of the sinews and flesh
and skin on the bones which is exem
plified by the building up of the new
Chamber of Commerce and supplying
it with finances, and the inculcating
of the spirit to the new community
spirit which vomes to a city under
the common cause of service for com
munity good.
"Things will come to Medford just
1 to the extent you want them to come"
he stated and told how Seattle, his
! home town, lost the great Pacific
coast Goodyear plant to Los Angeles
because they got "chesty" and
thought it could locate nowhere else
but in Seattle.
"The American City H urea 11 can't
build a city," he said, "but it can give
you the vision. 'Medford Is yours and
yours alone. Love, loyalty ami vis
ion will bring you the spirit which is
lacking." He quoted numerous in
stances of cities which had been built
not because of natural resources, but
because of the vision c? men and de
fined vision as, "The message of (Jod
sent to the minds of men to direct
them in carrying out the divine plan."
Abraham Lincoln
Mr. Herbsman touched briefly on
the vital need of a program of Amer
icanization thru the Chambers of
Commerce of the country in order
to meet the unknown future. He
told the story of lilac k Douglas and
the heart of Robert Hruce;how Doug
las threw the heart ahead of him into
the Moro hordes and followed it to
victory, saying, "Tho leaders of
America are throwing the heart of
Abraham Lincoln into the future aud
call on one hundred million Amer
icans to f o How w i t h the word s o f
Douglas, 'Forward gallant heart, as
is thy wont, America will follow
thee.' "
He closed with a stirring rendition
of Itobert Service's immortal appeal
to the best In man, "Carry on."
