TALENT PASTOR, 72
YEARS OLD, TAKES
AGED 70
MEET SGHNEIDAU
IE
Pan Cupid started 1924 operations In
Jackson county, by uniting in the holy,
bonds of matrimony, a couple that,
have passed the Bibllcan allotment of:
three score and ten, In the race for.
eternity.' -' ' V , I
The groom. Thomas Jefferson Sim
mops, a Baptist minister, and resident
of tlie Rogue River valley for upwards,
of 20 years, gave his age as 72 years, I
eight months and 18 days, and the'
bride, Mrs. Martha Jane Robertson,'
gave her years as 70, 10 months and
21 days. Both are residents of the
Talent district. Doth are also hale
and hearty, and well known through
out the county.
The ceremony was performed by
County Judge George A. Gardner, In'
his office at Jacksonville Wednesday
afternoon. . - j
It was the first marrlago license ot
ftbe new year, and Don M. Pierce, ai
clerk in the recorder's office appeared ;
as a witness.
The groom his filled pulpits at Myr
tle Creek;" and other places In Doug
las county, Oregon.
That Bobby Byland, veteran light
heavywelght mat man, will appear in
Medford against Gus Schnetdau,
seems to be assured and local pro
moters are planning' on January 8th
ns the date for the match. There
seems to be little -doubt of these
plans materializing since Byland has.
himself Bonified his desire to go on
with the southern Oregon boy. Hu
will meet Ted Thye in Portland the
last of (his week. . . .
flus Schnetdnu's last annearance in
Mod ford was against Mike Vokel, the
Wyoming title holder. Those who saw
this match at the armory say that
Ofis had clearly the edge until he
was knocked unconscious in a flying
fall to the mat. That this ' match
'raised the stock" of Sclineldft'u in
these parts goes, without saying. Gus
Is taking long hikes on Rogue! River
every day to put hlniBelf in good
shape for the Byland match and then
probably return engagements with
Ted Thye nnd Mike Yokel.

GIRLS OF TODAY
J OLD BEFORE Til
In a recent Interview in New York
Anna Pa v Iowa, famous Russian dan
cer said: "It prieves me to aee younff
filrla today old before their time. I
have seen 'lovely little Btxteen yenr
olds Bitting late nt night in cabarets,
smoking cigarettes, blowing smok")
rings, a bored, bln.se expression on
their pretty faces. They have lost
the spirit of youth. , They replace it
With the pose of sophistication. They
know as much at twenty as their
mothers knew sU forty. They would
letyou know, life' has no secrets for
them. Why do we foster this spirit
of cynicism in our 'young people?
Why do we -not try to inspire in them
the spirft of play, of Joy in youth?
Instead we let them grow old at twen
ty and then at forty wish for the up
epolled beauty they tried to improve
Upon with the arts of the courtesan."

The cold snan was broken last
night, but there was 1 k inches ofi
i snow on the ground this morning.
Including the inch that fell last night
and the one-half Inch remaining rrom
yesterday. It was cloudy this fore-
l noon, and the snow began melting
with the rising temperature, placing
l lie mice 1 9 ill U DUIIIcniitti otvrjj
dition.
Kain or snow is the prediction for
tonight and Friday. There was only
one degree of difference between the
j maximum "of yesterday, 26 degrees.
iand the minimum of this morning, 25
degrees. The sun broke through the
clouds this noon and greatly accele
rated the thawing process.
The brief cold snap and snow just
ended, however, was a mere Joke In
severity in comparison with the win
ter spell about four years ugo, when
there was a foot of snow on the
ground. On December 13 In 101!)
there was a temperature of 9.7 de

and from then on the temperature

THIS WOMAN

By Lydia E. PinkWs Vegetable
Compound. A Remarkable Story
Dover, Del. " I wish every woman
would take your wonderful medicine as it
Iliasdonesomucngooa
to me. I bad cramps
and faint spells and
very bad pains. One
day I was over to my
neighbor's bouse and
she told me I ought

louine Lyuiair uia
ham's Vegetable
Compound. Sol went
to the store on my
way home and got s
bottle, and took the
firstrtone before sim
per. I have been taking it ever since,
and you can hardly believe bow different
1 feel. 1 had just wanted to lie in bed
all the time, and when I started to brush
up 1 would give out in about ten min
utes. So you know how badly I felt. I
used to go to bed at eight and got up at
seven, still tired. Now I can work all
day and stay up until eleven, and feel
all right all the time. My housework is
all I do in summer, but in winter 1 work
in a factory. I have told a good many
of my friend, and I have had three
come to me and toll mo they wouldn't
do without tho Vegetable Compound."

Ira
A. O. Allen. Jr.. nr "Jim " ns he Is
better known, Medford high student,'
whose genius first attracted admiring
public attention by tho abstracted way
In which he stops from motor launches
Into Klamath lulie at Kooky mint, has
lately won locnl distinction with his
homemade radio set, constructed by
himself! at an expense of $100, at the
Allen home, 1129 West Ninth street.
This apparatus has proved to be one
of the best radio sets In Medford, and
since its installation he has picked up
6? radio stations throughout the
United States and Cuba;
, Probably fhe most distinctive. pick
un was that of several nights ago, In
connecting with a fine concert at Ha
vana, Cuba, which was heard very
clearly and distinct. , Last night his
outfit resistered concerts at Pittsburg,
Pa., Cincinnati, Ohio; , Fort Worth,
Texas, and Kansas City, Mo.
The fatnlly were listening to doings
at Chlcotfo last Monday night, New
Years eve, about 9 p. m., when thoy
were astounded to hear a great com
motion of whistle blowing, etc , and
soon realized that - the grent New
Year's celebration was on in the Win
dy City. - " .
It seemed uncanny to hear this rack
et so distinctly nnd realize that the
New Year was Just coming In there,
three hours earlier than here, because ,
of the difference In time. Then later,
desiring to hear the celebrations at
other places Jim tuned up and in turn
heard distinctly those going on in Los
Angeles and San Francisco. He tried.
to get Portland but .that city was.
dead, 'at least as to tho radio.
I When he: was "fishing" for Los An; ,
golesall of a sudden the fact that the .
connection had been made came in
the . shape of an ear piercing noico '
caused by the blowing of a siren wills-,
tie. It sounded at first as though the
Biren. was blowing outside the house,:
so distinct was it. i
Jim Allen can hardly be induced to
go to bed before midnight these days,,
so engrossed Is he in his radio and its
concerts and talks and lectures froni
far distant points of the United States
and some foreign places.
The neighbors say that Jim will
keep on perfecting his machine until
he will be able to be awakened In the
morning by the crowing of roosters in
London.
Two girls were born In Medford on
New Years day and a boy on January
2. The first to arrive was Mary Eliza
beth, an eight and a half pound daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Kennedy
at the Sacred Heart hospital. Mr.
and Mrs. Kennedy are new residents
in Medford, recently arrived from
Portland. The second girl was Wilma
Katherlne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. K. Fillmore of East 11th street,
who weights eight pounds and was;
born at the same hospital. i
Mathew William, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Ellis, was born at their
homo on Lozier, January Becond.
TEAPOT 001 OIL
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. Harry
Payne Whitney, New York banker nnd
sportsman, told the sennte public
lands committee today of his part in
floating corporations organized by Har
ry F. Sinclair to operato the lease of
Teaot Dome naval oil reservo.
A total of 55,000 shares in the Mam
moth Oil company and a considerable
Interest in the Sinclair OH company
were purchased by him in October nnd
November. 1922. Mr. Whitney said, in
three blocks. For the first block com
prising 50,000 shnres of Mammoth and
50,000 shares of Sinclair OH, he said I
ho gave an "equal number of shares In
exchange," Including Standard Oil of
New Jersey, Standard Oil of New
Yorlt and iioynoms i onacco. j
Tho second block of 50,000 shares
of Mammoth, he Bald, cost $1,025,000,
anil tho third! of 65,000 shares, was ob
tained In exchange for 23,000 shares of
Reynolds Tobacco.
Before Mr. Whitney was called the
committee decided to ask Edward 11.
McLean, publisher of tho Washington
Post, to appear before it later and tes
tify regarding a loan of $100,000 ho
made to Former Secretary Albert 11.
Fall, who was head of tho Interior
department when the Teapot Dome
lease was signed.
In addition to tho stock owned out
right, Mr. Whitney said he had "taken
a 25.000 share -Interest" In tho Mam
moth Oil syndicate, which Mr. Sinclair
had testified was organized to carry
out the lease.
"What was the object of tho syndi
cate?" asked Senator Walsh, demo
crat, Montana.
"I don't know," said Mr. Whitney.
"I was invited to participate and It
gave me a chance to gut that addition
al stock on payment of the amount of
call, which was $10 a share. Of courso
1 was llablo for tho balance any time."
E
SALEM DISTRICT
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 3. What the
public service commission calls "one
of the few remninlng discriminatory
situations established during tho de
velopment of the telephone Industry
under competitive conditions nnd be
fore the days of regulation," Is to bo
remedied by nn order of the commis
sion today affecting farmer patrons
of the company In the district immedi
ately south of Salem.
Elsewhere In Oregon farmers are
required to maintain their own lines
up to the primary rate area of the com
ipiiiy. In the district south of Salem,
on account of an arrangement existing
since nliout the year 1904. tho farmers
maintain their lines only to Liberty,
while tho Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company maintains tho lines
from Liberty to the south city limits
of Salem, a distance of 2.2 miles be
yond the primary rate area, which is
tho city limits. This is considered a
discrimination against the farmers
north, east and west of Salem, and
also all others In the state.
The Pacific company is required by
the order to desist from this practice
by April 1. The order, while apparent
ly directed ngnlnst the telephono com
pany, really upholds the contentions of
tho company and Is against the con
tentions of the farmers.
