Tuesday, .taxfary r. 1324 pw;k TVIUV.F 1923 THE DRIEST OF ; The calendar year 1923 was the driest , in the history of tho locivl weather bureau according to figures Just compiled. From January 1923, to January 1924, the total rainfall was only 11.75 Inches, while the average rainfall for the same period is 16. GO inches. . , ' The nearest year to last year in aridity was in 1916 when the total rainfall for the calendar year was 13.80 inches. In 1922 the total was 17.01 inches, while in 1904 tho total was 41.56.

Without Irrigation, of course, 1923 would have been a disaster to tho ranchers, but thanks to irrigation tho largest fruit crop in history was ship ped out, and all crop production was above the average. Of course tho rainfall usually is compiled from September to Septem ber and is therefore greater than 'the calendar year, but in 1928 this would dnly hring tho total to slightly over 15 inches; ... f ' , . y L WINS CHRISTMAS SEAL PRIZE AGAIN IFIRST BASKET B.

TO The Christinas Seal sale committee Tor Jackson county met Wednesday af ternoon In the county nurse office, In the Liberty building, with the seal ' sale director, Mrs. Alice Holloway. To date $1313.56 have been realized, meaning that 6.3 seals have been sold per capita. According to contract with the state association, a sale of six to seven seals per capita gives the county commission 60 per cent and forty, rural schools and several letters are still to be heard from. . t i ' . . The "mall sale' lias been n record one, 80 per cent of the letters, so far, Having satisfactory replies. The fol lowing detailed report of, seal sale re turns was. read: Medford $S15.29: ABhland $273.71; Central Point $71.26; rural school $153.30.- . i As the Medford schools have been working for a flag presented two years ago by the Elks for the best city school per capita sale, much interest has been centered on their efforts. . Roosevelt school won first prize again this year, so according to a re quest of the Elks, keeps tho flag per manently. Jackson school won tho second prize of a picture, "The Shep herd Boy," also given by the Elks. Washington school has tho distinction of giving the largest contribution of any school to the seal sale fund. Tho city schools of Medford sold as follows: Roosevelt $19.09, per capita, 27; Jackson $33.28, per capital 17; Washington $70.00, per capita 16; Lin coln $45.00, per capita 13. Many of tho rural schools sold their allotments and asked for moro. Health improvement, especially of our future citizens, lias become such a recognlz ed necessity and economy in our wide awako progressive county that very little urging or arguing Is necessary to soli tho seals or at any time to win cooperation to further any wel fare work. I Because of the zeal of tho seal Bale committoe and of the generosity of our public spirited citizens, the business houses, tho religious and social or ganizations, the press, the Boy Scouts, ' and the city and rural school children, I Jackson county has had a record breaking financial return from its seal sale. , I Those particularly interested ; in Jiealth work In tho county, . should como to tho annual meeting of the ' Jackson county public health associa tion, to be held February 20th in St. ' Mark's Guild hall, Medford, when the best and most' comprehensive way of disbursing this money will be dlscuess- ed. !

E IN LOS ANGELES LOS ANGEI.KR, Jan. 15 Tho Cali fornia open golf championship titlo this year will not Cnrry any thrtlllngly low score, but will be remembered for. its green play and, trick putts, it fa tho concensus of opinion among ama teurs and professionals who today go on the courses of the L03 Angeles country club for the second nnd nuuli fying eighteen holes of the seventy two holes medal play. Tho prospective 165 for qualifica tion is not for tho wnut of good play ers but means that the greens require particular placement of the ball and are over ready to almost unnervo even tho professional. Tho cards today will give figures for all the players on tho thirty-six different holes. t- MacDoYinld Smith's lead of four yesterday was on what is rated as the easier of the two courses, the south, par 71. Tho north course is par 72. . The lead of the San Franciscan, who across the ocean gave Walter Hagen a good play in tho titlo match, is a power advantage, greater than tho difference In courses, he being the only player below par for cither course, and three below at that.
