0 A. C. 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.

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.

New Show, "Panjola"
Rialto Tonight
Director Crisp says: "When I was
assigned to direct '1'onjola' I was
ratW dubious about being able to
Iind a gri capable of playing such a
part satisfactorily. 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

Ruth Clifford, Claire DuBrey and

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
