It Is estimated that from $18,000 to $20,000 was paid out by the mer chants lato Saturday afternoon and evening In cashing the checks of the workers from tho orchards, ranches, irrigation systems, road Improve ments, box factory, logging camp, new mill and the like. Only a compara tively small force as yet is employed at tho large new mill, compared to the number who will be working thero luter on. Merchants who cash Biich pay checks regularly had thought they had made arrangements to havo enough money on hand for this pur pose, but they were caught unawares by the deluge of weekly pay checks which showed up In town. By dili gent bustling and cooperation among the lending merchants, however, all checks were met with sufficient money. It is predicted that this condition will last almost all fall and almost up until Christmas time, Including the pay roll of the city of Medford, which will build at least u new reser voir and pipe line system, beginning In early September.

Their AVnr ltnbles "Those are their war babies," Senator Smoot declared, "and they are asking that our own children be kicked out of our own homes to make place for theirs." The beet sugar Industry, Mr. Smoot said, engnged 700,000 acres of the best agricultural lands of the coun try, 100,000 farmers, 85,000 field hands and 35,000 fnctor'y operatives who, he said, furnish competition necessary to prevent monopoly and hold down prices. "It's hardly fair to ask that this Industry be destroyed to cover Cu ba's economic blunders and aid this set of men (tho refiners) to control Bupply and fix prices of sugar," said the Utah senator. Ho added that the .present propaganda was the same that was used when the Underwood tariff bill was before congress, whon. ho said, it was sliawn that .Onus Sprecklns "put up tho money" and was aided by 10. G. Lowrey of the Wholosnlo Grocors' association.
