Adv.
Hfi. WELLS lias n cure fur the world's ills. Tn the current at-
unlay Evening Post, lie presents the first installment, origi
nally designed as a lecture to American audiences, lint recently iibim
dond hecuiise of serious illness.
In lirief Mr. Wells proposes u United States of Europe, as the only
hope of saving European civilization. Recently returned from a
visit to Kitssia, reinforced liy flying trips through (iermany, Kin
land, and the Scandinavian countries, the well known British author,
paints a disheartening picture of the social and economic collapse.
The return of Europe to health and stability, in the writer's opin
ion, is impossible, before the obstacles presented by national barriers
are removed. Transput-tat inn, the free and unrestricted circulation
of food, he deelan-s to be the necessary foundation of recovery, and
until the various states of Europe join in a union similar to the union
effected at the beginning of the Nineteenth century by the American
states, this w ill be impossible.
-Mr. Wells has a well established reputation as a prophet. lie un
doubtedly possesses one of I he keenest minds in Europe. Nearly all
of his pre-war prophecies from airplane warfare to social reactions
have been fulfilled. Therefore, whatever lie says, enjoys a back
ground of high personal prestige, which commands serious considera
tion at the outset.
rnfortiinately, however, Mr. Wells thus far ba-s offered prac
tical plan for achieving what he declares is essential. With the allies
occupying (iermany. with (. recce at war with Turkey, with eastern
Europe a veritable hornet's nest of racial antagonisms, national
hatreds and prejudices, to suggest a Workable constitution for a
United States of Europe, appears at this distance to be a most absurd
figment of an overworked imagination.
Perhaps subsequent installments will throw some light on tin- mo
dus operandi. I'ntil then the only conclusion for the reader who
accepts Mr. Wells' premises is that Europe is doomed. The future,
even to a casual observer, does look .dark, but the thought intrudes
that perhaps even greater forces than Mr. Wells discerns are at work
At any rale, this is Easter week. A greater miracle is being com
memorated than is rcipiircl t ,i-ing new life to a civilization that
seems to be dying. Mr. Wells is strong on brains, nerhans be w weal,
on faith. We hooe so.

To Un Kililor:
Th propositi l.y tho rity of tird
ford to pm-chattft th I. K. tormina
property for auto parking purpofu-s,
may or may not bo a wise move ut
tlJ timr, but i-citainly Medford must
do Honu'thlriK to provide adequate and
invitiiiK atTinii modat Ions for nn to
tourists or t'ontinue to be the. subject
of adverse criticism nnd romim-nt,
sin-h as stio 1ms received during the
past year.
In recent conversation with a
Medfordite who, with his family,
toured a number of Nt.-itex in iu
! western half of the Tnited States last
summer, it was stated ttiat Medtord
lias a veritable "black eye" anioiiK
auto tourists.
Parties returning from their tout
of the Pacific coast were regular
KUide books of Information, especially
as to parking accommodations. These
parties were eagerly sought by west
bound travelers as to places "worth
while" and oampinK facilities. And
one of the Keneral injuncltuns was
to "beware of Medford, Oregon. Iter
parking accommodations are of the
very poorest .quality."
Such "word of mouth" Information
be inn scattered promiscuously i hr li
mit the country will do and has done
.Medford Incalculable harm. It has
done a srent denl to nullify the good
work of our conmumity in nrescntim:
the advantages and attractions of this
city and valley to the outside World
and furthermore, it has meant and
jill mean the tos ,if thousands ot
dollars annually.
It should be apparent to every citi
zen who has the welfare of .Medfotil
at heart that something must be done
to remedy t he condit ion complained
of. Ami a few thousand, yes. several
thousand dollars, could not be used t
better advantage. The outlay will
come back many fold in a few years
to come, for auto touring is a rapidly
growing method of pleasure and rec
reation, and even business travel
And it will be an Invaluable ally in
attaining the end for Medford which
oiir citizens are so loyally and ener
getically striving for. through the fa
vorable advertising she will receive.

Feed the Soil That
Feeds You
We have heard much
lately about depleted
farms that are not able to
produce a sufficient crop to
pay for the work. Did you
ever stop to think that the
same thing may happen to
your farm?
Bearing a crop is vork for
the soil just a your daily
duties are work for you. With
out food you can not continue
long to work. Unless you return
nourishment to the soil, in time
it, also, will cease to produce.
Put lime or other stand
ard fertilizer on your soil.
In order to do this at the least
possible cost, use a machine
built for the purpose the Van
Brunt Lime and Fertilizer Sower.
This machine is a paying in
vestment for every farmer whose
land has been used continuously
even for a few years.
You can get one of them
at our store. If you will
just drop in at your first oppor
tunity, we will tell you all about
it.
