At the oiwil meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the library lant night, the Issuance of a large 111 UBtratod Medford booklot, similar to the book lots Issued In tho past, was approved by a vote of 29 to 5, about halt of those prosont refusing to vote cither for or against, and a new program or work for the Chamber of Commerce was decided upon. The vote camo at tho end of a long and talkative session during which the publicity question was discussed pro and con, mostly pro, the board of directors of tho Chambor of Com merce was both criticized and defend ed, and there was a record breaking amount of "milling around " The voto in no way determines the policy of the chamber . but was asked moroly to Hftcure an expression of opinion from those' present. , Tho position of thoso who called the meeting In an offort to seouro a book let of more valtm to tho community than tho ono recontly Issued by the chamber, was fully outlined by Earl Tumy, tho first speakor, who gave many interesting points regarding the uucHtion, Bhowed how tho resourcos of tho chamber In his opinion justified the expense of a hotter booklet, and announced that $700 had already been raised by the real ostato men, and more would be forthcoming, to assiBt In the vonture. Tho present Binall booklet, tho spoakor maintained was of Utile If any value. All for Booklet J. A..Porry, Dr. F. C. Pago, J. W. Dressier. W. M. Holmes, Ed White, C. K. Gates, Bert Anderson and others supported Mr. Tumy's vlows, all main taining that the timo had come when Medford should launch an extensive publicity campaign for more settlers, that thoro were scores of pooplo In the ' east and mlddlcwcBt, ready to come to southern Oregon, and that tho boBt medium through which to secure them would bo nn up to (Into llluntruted booklet. It was- pointed out that tho establishment of Irrigation, rendored It economically Imperative that large tracts bo cut up, and that settlors must bo secured to take ovor tho smal ler tracts. Irrigation Situation Leonard Carpontlnr, president of the Medford Irrigation district gave a very Interesting talk, full of concroto sug gestions, supKrtcd by facts, showing that thoro are at present approximate ly 640 properly owners in tho dlHtrlct, that the average holding Is 17.6 acres and that only 44 owners In tho district have holdings of ovor 60 acres. Mr. Cnrpontor suggested (hut instead of putting monoy Into an IliiiHtratod booklot, which formed a sort of pro paganda which has been overdone, nnd a large proportion of which would go Into the waste basket, It would In his judgment bo wiser to dovoto that monoy to making pooplo who nro now hero prosperous nnd contented thru semiring expert Information regarding tho best mothods of Irrigation and the crops best ariaptod to tho varying soils and conditions. ' '-'Hen 'Sheldon, president of tho cham bor of commerce, who. presided, com plimented Mr. Carpontor upon his ' stand, and declared such ugRetlons were what the chamber particularly welcomed. ' " Prosperity Here Now Messrs. Anderson, Holmes and White took Issuo will) Mr. Cnrpenter regarding tho necessity of irrigation schools, and tho Intlmution that sot tlors already horn needed any purlieu lur aaslstance. Mr. Anderson declared on some of tho land bo Is managing, they wore now raising from 2 to 3 tons of alfalfa per ncio on tho flint cutting, nnd (hut all a man had to know about water was to turn It on. Mr. Holmes called attention to the fuel that local ranchers wero now nils lug strawberries valued at $1000 kt uoro, that what was needed was to got 'inoro people hem of the samo kind Mr. White spoke along tho same lines, emphasizing tho opKi1uuitlcs already , here. Board of Directors Viewpoint Tho vlow point of the board of direc tors was outlined by II. I.. Walthor and Gcorgo Collins, members of the board. They both said they welcomed constructive criticisms, but called at tention to. the fact that a larger book let than the ono put out was lmixis Mblo with the financial resources what they were. It was shown that the board acted in conformity with tho expressed wishes of tho members, that there bad been no expression cither at the. forum or In tho referendum on an outline of work, in favor of a larger booklet, but that if thoso present would finance the proposition and dhow that the members of tho cham ber wished a larger booklet, the board of directors would Bee that their do klres were carried out. "Let's not start anything we can't finish" Mr. Waither Insisted. " Money talks. Got OF COmmERC the money and we will do tho work."

PAINS IN SIDE AND BACK Caused by Woman's Ills and Cured by Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Grafton, Pa. "I was troubled with inflammation and pains in my sides and DacK. Alter doctor ing with different doctors and not get ting relief, I had al most given up hopes when my sister told me of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and knowing thatshe had really been helped by it, 1 purchased it. I was unable to do my work at that time. but after taking soveral bottles of the Vegetable Compound I can now do any thing about the house or farm that a woman Bhould do. I have a four months old baby that is the healthiest and big gest baby for his age that I have ever seen. I am willing for my letter to bo usd for a testimonial to tell other suf fering women how much your medicine has done for me, as I give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all tho praise." Mrs. BijiirL. FlSHER,R.D.'l, Box 37, Grafton, Pa. Working early and late lifting, carrying, and the heaviest of houshold duties is it any wonder that it results in backaches and kindred ills. But every woman who suffers as Mrs. Fisher did should profit by her experience and give Lydia fi. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound a fair trial. 1 J l T ? T ? T f l T f T f M.
