WAroid Imitations and Substitutes DECLARE CLEAN UP BALLOTS GO OUT AS COLONEL BULL FROM APRIL 22-25 The last week of April was desig nated by the city council at its meet ing last night as general clean up week In Medford in order that the city may present Its best appearance, especially for the Btute convention of the federated women's clubs May 22 25, when mojiy women will be pres ent from all parts of the state. The mayor and council will issue an appeal to the public to clean up the alleys and yards that week of tin cans, rubbish and the like and have It hauled away. However, this must be done at each householder's own expense, as the administration deems the city treasury too poor to have free hauling away of the rubbish collected.' Ashland recently had a clean up week at that city's expense. The matter was brought up at last night's council meeting by Council man B. W. Paul at the request or the club women of the city, who had also asked the mayor and other council men to see that a clean up was ar ranged for, hence the action was tak en unanimously with but little de bate. ' OF MALICIOUSNESS WASHINGTON. April 18. State de partment agents designated to investi gate charges that Turkish soldiers had mutilated the body and destroyed the coffin of George Dilboy, an Amer ican soldier to whom a congressional medal of honor was awarded after he met his death in the world war. In a preliminary report the agents said "those responsible for the profanation were apparently actuated by cupidity rather than by malice or any inten tional act ot disrespect." Going Some!

Quick Quaker Oats Cooks to perfection in 3 to 5 minutes .''.' ; .'.'' -i '. hi ' -..'. :" 'J - it :- I : i. i-- fi Ready at 7:05 Before the eggs or coffee ' 'Now our experts have perfected a Quick Quaker Oats th quickest-cooking oats in the world. Your grocer now has it a well as the regular. . ... Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to S minutes. The cooking is perfect --experts certify to that The same exquisite flavor The fame of Quaker Oats is due to super-flavor. We flake th queen grains only just the ricji, plump, flavory oats, We get but ten pounda from a bushel. - All the world over Quaker Oats dominates, because people love -that flavor. And Quaker will always have it. Quick Quaker is made from the same queen oats. The flavor is identical. But we cut the grains before flaking. Then we roll . them thin and partly cook. ,..,. So the flakes are smaller and thinner that is all. And those small, thin flakes cook quickly. . - Now you have a double reason for selecting Quaker Oat i. You get that exquisite flavor. And you get, if you wish, flakes that cook almost instantly. In either respect, there is no other, pat dish in existence that compares. Regular Quaker Oats Come in package at left the styld you have always known. Quick Quaker Oats ' Come in package at right, with the "Quick" label. Your grocer has both. Be sure to get the style you want ' Packed in sealed round packages with removable covers BISHOP SUMNER TO ATTEND OPENING OF SHIRK'S PARISH HOUSE TONIGHT Colonel Bull's present campaign Is not. as one may suspect at first, one to elect certain of his friends to the directorate of the Chamber ot Commerce, but rather to secure per sonal aggrandizement. The colonel has been bitten by a publicity bug ot the most virulent species. He is a limelight hound of the first water and is grasping the opportunity of the coming election to gain notor- iuty for himself. The candidates he has selected on his Gump ticket are bis miBguidod tools." The speaker was an Influential cit izen who asked his name to be with held because he has always kept out of politics. His testimonial was de livered from the shoe shining stand ot Mr. George Washington Maddox. Mr. Maddox corroborated the opinion thus: , Yessuh, de Colonel am a great believer In pomp and circumstance. He done drive in from Buncombe ovvy day In his fllvvuh and his shiny puttees and his shiny nose jes like he's ono ot dese country gennulmen. Ah guess he think his shack in Bun combe is Tammany Hall or sumpln. Looks to me like his ticket gone get about ten votes. Ah knows Ah's caBt- In mine for de Cratuhs' ticket. Yes suh, dat Cratuhs' ticket am one hun dred per cent. De Colonel cain't fool Georgie." Colonel Bull's IJist Stuml Today ballots go out to every mem ber of the Chamber ' of Commerce, There will be three tickets the Cra ters, the Business Men's, and last but not least, the Andy Gump ticket. The A. G. ticket got into the field late, but it came in with a bang, and it freshened things lip. The Craters' and Business Men's tickets mean nothing and stand for nothing. They wore spawned in the dark and are the natural offspring of the rotten Oregon system. These thirty-six men are not standing on any platform of principles, nor. have they announced any policies. So far as intelligent voting is concerned. every man Jack of them is an un known quantity. The time has come for the Med ford Chamber of Commerce to move forward onto hew and higher ground. ' The people of this commu nity are ' going to expect certain things of this board of directors. For one thing, the .people . will de-. mand, and the time is ripe, for an up-to-date Medford booklet a gora.'l a work of art, 'a thing of beauty, something to excite and stimulate our dull Imaginations; telling In rich sn1' glowing words of our achievements in the past, and beckenin to the people of the crowded and dlsaatisfi-! ed est, wlthi the magic of engraving and portrature of pictured story. Do you have any assurance that! you will get this sort of a booklet If you elect nine men from the Craters, I of Business Men's ticket? Do you know by any pledge or promise they. have mado that a single one of these I men "are rarin' to tell the world" nbout this smiling valley, the land of soft winds, gentle rains, and sprak- llng sunshine? Now the members Of the A. G. tick et, individually and collectively are pledged to do certain definite things. They are pledged to "tell the world" about this spot, favored of the gods, and they are pledged to find enough money to make up a booklet of such attractiveness that it will allure and entice tens of thousands to come and share with us the fullness and bounty, the contentment and happi ness, of this western wonderland." I think the electorate of the Cham ber of Commerce know pretty well what they want the question Is do they know how to go about getting It. I am an old-timer In this country, I love it with a love that passcth un derstanding, therefore I feel qualified to advise with you. It Is in no spirit of levity that I exhort you to vote the Any Gump, ticket straight. These men stand for tho things you want, and If elected will not violate their pledged word nor betray your confidence. Now, a word personal to myself. It was a sacrifice as well as a pleasure for an old Rebel soldier to leave his own fireside and come to Medford to make a fight for the Andy Gump ticket. I didn't expect that either myself or my ticket would be hand led with gloves, but the eruptions were more violent than I expected. In the main the fight has been a clean one. However, It Is about ovor and the fate of the Andy Gump ticket is In the lap of the gods, or to bo more exact. In the hands of the free and Intelligent electorate of the Chamber of Commerce. ' COL.

It is architecturally doslgned on the sumo lines as the church, and the two buildings, on adjacent comers, pro sent a pleasing picture, ami are a credit to tho workers of the church. The news that Eddie Durno, the efficient conch of tho .Medford hlch Hchool, will not be buck next year will be received with profound regret not only by the student body of the schools, but by tho public generally. Mr. Durno, who has been one ot tho moHt popular couches In Med ford's hlHtory, ilesplto tho fact that ho did not win any state ehamplon shlps this yeur wuh generally looked upon to bring home the bucon next year with Medford tenuis In one or moro lines ot uthletlc endeavor. He has always hud his team in tho run ning, however, and bus had them wholesomely respected by opposing teams. Mr. Durno has decided to quit couching nnd uttend tho mcdlcul school of tho Unlvei'Hty of Oregon, at rortlund next year. Ho was re elected couch nnd instructor In physi cal educntion. but nt the salary of $2400. the. name sum ho received' for this yenr's work. He desired n sul ary of $2900, which the school board found Itself unable to grunt. Then a1 movement was started to hnvo tho oxtrn five hundred dollars wanted raised among n body of busi ness men. That could easily have been done it is claimed because ot Dut-no's ablity nnd populnrlty as a couch, which brouuht Medford pres tige throughout 'the stnte. It Is said thnt about $400 hild been pledged, or was nbout to be, when Homo ono happened to think that $2000 for the coach would le $100 more than what Principal Campbell , of the high school would receive for next year, That would hardly look right, it wu4 deemed, and the movement conse quentiy was abandoned. ' . ' Mr. Durno was unwilling to work at tho $2400 salary and hus decided to begin his medical course next year. When he came to Medford , last yeur It was with the expre.i understanding that he would', only serve one year. The board of education has a num ber of candlducies under consldora tlon to succeed Durno, but so fnr ha made no selection, moving carefully.
