CONFERENCE The economic conference to be held next week at the Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallls will begin Wed nesday and continue until Saturday. From all Indications a fair sized group of farmers, and business men w'.il at tend from Jackson county. Several automobile's have been secured and transportation will be provided for those who wish to attend this confer ence. Some very vital problems will be discussed and plans lnld for carrying on a state, wide campaign to bettor the conditions of the farmer. The subjects to be discussed will be dairy ing. poultry, fruits, nuts, . livestock, land settlement and other subjects. Ulnce 1910 Oregon has become an export state In dairy products. Some of the questions local men are going to try to have answered: Are there at the present time ade quate facilities to care for the in creased surplus of dairy products? Do we need more creameries, cheese fac tories, and condenseiies? What is the effect of oleo on the butter trade? pi we need a state Wand for butter? ipow can we improve the quality in ' rTie muhufacttired butter and cheese? Do we need an increased efficiency In production through better cows, bet ter sires, and disease control? t During the last twenty yenrs fruits rthd vegetables from the farms of the United States increased from 4,582, 000 tons to' 1,000,000 tons. The ap ple production in this period remained practically stationary. We find that other fruits and vegetables have to a large extent rrowded the apple from the consumer's table. What can be done? In 1 !2 1, 23.000.000 pounds of chest nuts were brought into this country from Kurope. ' Why not stop this Im portation? Kifty percent of Oregon's logan berry crop was not picked In 1923. Now there Is a great demand for dried and canned loganberries. This could have been prevented thorough the pro per channels of marketing and fi nancing. The business men of the state have' acknowledged that better marketing facilities must be provided for the farmer's products, and they have determined to assist in working out Organizations and giving market ing assistance that will prevent the duplication of the loganberry Industry of the past year. This conference should bring out a good attendance from Jackson county. CONSTIPATION must be avoided, or torpid liver, blllouine8ri,lndlgeUoa Biid gamy palus result.

Central Are Medford, Ore United Army Stores BOY SCOUT DRIV E AT At a dinner given last nlRht by the "''ra uomry club, in the basement of the Hotel Medford, with represen tatives of the various civic and fra ternal organizations as Ruests, the beat metliudB of supporting tho Boy Scout movement in the city were dis cussed. The notary club had considered the plan of securing subscriptions thru the many organizations in the city, instead of by a regular canvas and called the meeting primarily to find out the attitude of the organizations toward such a plan. At the meeting it developed that several organizations have already made liberal contributions as organi zations, others had agreed to secure funds within their memberships, but after the discussion it seemed the con census of opinion that the remainder of the funds had best be secured by obtaining contributions not from or ganizations but from Individuals. This apparent conclusion followed remarks made by Louis Ulrlch, rep resenting the Elks club, and It. H. Boyl representing the Craters club, who both favored the public subscrip tion plan. While there was difference of opin ion regarding means of raising the fund there was no difference of opin ion regarding the necessity and desir ability of a Hoy Scout organization in the city, and without exception every speaker endorsed' the movement most enthusiastically. Messrs. Ulrlch and Boyl whilo opposing the suggested campaign thru organizations they represented, both pledged themselves individually to support the movement with liberal subscriptions, and ex pressed tho conviction that members of their organization would do tho same. After opening remarks by Dr. R. W. Clancy, vice president of the Ro tary club. Rev. Coan of the Methodist church South, local scout commis sioner gave a comprehensive address explaining In dotalt the local move ment, the purposes of the. organiza tion In the conservation of boyhood, and Its proper direction toward the development of manhood. Hugh B. Rankin of the Forest ser vice explained his plan of having a Boy Scout camp at Union Creek und incidentally suggested that Medford also establish a community camp, with a community house In that dis trict. Col. C. O. Thomson, superintendent of Crater Lake park heartily endorsed tho movement, said that the building of an Eagle Trail In the pnrk by local Boy Scouts had the support of the federal park service and also started the ball rolling toward adopting a plan for collecting funds. There were many other speakers all endorsing the Boy Scout movement heartily. From the spirit of enthusiasm for the Boy Scout movement shown at the meeting It is regarded as certain that the Medford Boy Scouts will soon be provided with ample funds. Frank Newman, . president of the Boy Scout council presided as chair man of the meeting, outlined the Ro tary plan of seourlng funds and intro duced the speakers. Emil Mohr, a member of the Rotary club supplied one of his best dinners, and excellent music was furnished thruout the evening gratis, by the Shackleford orchestra. In appreciation of this generous action a vote of thanks was given the orchestra. -by tnoso present. Philadelphia to Be Cleaned Up Along .' Regular Army Lines: PHILADELPHIA, , Jan. ' 10.

I knew that an actress, wearing a man's wig. would ruin the production.- Kccondly, I did not believe we could find a capable actress who would have her hair cut for Just one picture. . Thirdly, I can not conceive of a more difficult role to play than such a one assigned to Miss NilHson. "But after the first day I knew that the picture would be a success with Miss Nilsson as the star. "After the completion of the pic ture the actress was able to laugh at her experience, although she admitted that Bhe did not relish going through it again.' Miss Nilsson had duplicated the success of the Illustrious actress Maude Adams, Sarah Bernhardt, Mme. Jerltza and Mary Garden. Miss Nilsson plays opposite James Kirkwood In "Ponjola," which opens a four days engagement at the Rialto theatre today, the other members of the cost consisting of Tully Marshall, Joseph Kllgour, - Bernard KandaM, Ruth Clifford, Claire DuBrey and Claire McDowell. Fi BEST FINANCIAL Tho city of Medford is In the best finnncinl condition H has been for years, as can bo seen by the annual re port of the city treasurer, Mrs. Mary Webber, made to the city council last night, which anion); other things shows that tho city had redeemed a total of $72,000 during the year 1923. and that the city debt Is now below $1,000,000. In addition to this (12,500 in warrants were paid off during the year. This makes a total of bonds and warrants paid off of $84,500, the larg est amount that has ever been paid off by the city In a single year. In addition to this, funds were for warded the first day of January to the New York depository to pay off $27, 000 more bonds. ' The total city debt now, crediting tho $27,000, amounts to $l1,0U0. the first lime that It has ever been below the million mark, having been gradual ly reduced from approximately one million and a quarter in 1017, to the Pse"t flKures. Other sidelights on tho .report are ttiat the general fund balance due to an approximate ten per cent dellnnueii' cy In the- collection of 1922 county taxes will just about meet the running expenses of the city until the May turnover of taxes. This amount Is be ing augmented however! by back taxes lining collected through tho treasurer's ami clly attorney's offico and turnover funds expected from the county. Other funds show larger balances left over at the end of tho year amounting to nearly $8,000, which will be used to pay off ndilltionnl bonds. It 1b noteworthy in this connection that the funds of the city have been earning sufficient Interest by Investing in bonds to obviate tha necessity of making, a tax levy for Interest on the city general bonds, this Interest being paid out of the accumulations of inter- -,, - ,,! provemcnts aggregating about $50,000. There are no further payments on bonds until July, when ten thousand of wnter bor.ds con.e due, and Decem ber when twenty-five thousand of as- stssiiient bonds come due. However, the council expressed the desire that the city call additional bonds so as to reduce the debt still further ami the least $100,000 of bonds this coming tha stopping the interest charge , i .
