MEDFORD MATL TRTPTTNTK, MRDFORO, ORKOON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1021 PACE FTVE IP EXPLAINED BY STATE OFFICIAL To the Editor: In order to correct a quite general misapprehension that, through the statements and comments of the market reporter of the Port land Journal, havo arisen relative to the ejyg rullne recently issued by this office to become effective March 1st, I beg tho use of a little space of your valued publication. To bogln with, this ruling was not made in the intercnt of any dealer or person, but for the protection of the consumer and for the protection and in the interest of the honest producer, be he farmer, small poultryman or operator of a commercial hennery, as well aa the grocer nnd other dealer who wants to receive and give a square deal. The ruling was made after consult ing a number of producers as well as dealers , and with tho advice of the office of the district attorney of Mult nomah county, and" of the atato mar ket master and we believe it is in the interest of the poultry industry and of all honest persons connected there with; L. Regardless of whatever may have r been said to the contrary this ruling was not intended to, neither does it exclude any good marketable egg no matter where nor by whom produced. Tho ruling reads as follows: 1. A fresh egg is an egg of recent production, clean, full with "fixed air space" of not mora than three-sixteenths of an Inch in depth, sweet, strong of body and unimpaired in quality. The albumen must not ap pear watery. A largernir space with a movable lower line indicates a stale egg,, or ono that Is becoming weak or watery.- ; ' 2. ' A fresh standard egg is a fresh egg, as defined in paragraph 1. weigh ing; not less than one and five-sixth ounces. . , ' 3. ' A fresh pullet egg is a fresh egg weighing ndt lesd than one and seven twelfths ounces. 4. - A" fresh "pcoweo" egg is any fresh egg weighing loss than one and soven-twelfths ounces. 6. All standard eggp, pullet eggs and "peewee" eggs shall be packed separately and the grado plainly marked on' the end of the case, show ing the particular grade of the eggs in the case, 6. Second-grade eggs are good, edible eggs, but with an air space more than three-sixteonths of an inch In depth and not good enough to grade as' standard in the different classifications herewith defined. Eggs known as largo hatch spots, heavily shrunken eggs, settled yolks and leak ing eggs, and eggs with loose air space are fit for consumption but will not stand transportation. I t . 7.' Eggs known as "yolk stuck to ithe shell," "blood rings," "partially hatched," "moldy eggs," "black spots", "black of mixed rots" and other eggs ot unwholesome nature shall not be offered or exposed for sale or sold. 1. It shall be unlawful for any per son to sell, offer for sale, or have in his possession with intent to sell, eggs for human food purposes which aro not fit for human food within the mean ing as prescribed in rules and regula tions herewith set forth, or to sell or offer for sale any egg except for what H Is,' or unless it Is properly marked or branded, or unless such egg has been; properly candled. 2. When eggs are removed from the original container for resale, the true grade of said eggs must be stamped upon1 the subsequent container in let ters not' les sthan one-third inch in height. : If placed on display for sale, a sign must be placed immediately over said eggs In letters not loss than one inch in height giving the true grade oT said eggs. When eggs aro sold 'in lots of halt cases or more, an invoice must accompany said sale plainly and truly Indicating tho grade or' grades of eggs sold. ' ' There , has. grown out of the trade the practice of thev use of certain names in connection with eggs intended to designate grades or kinds of eggs nnmod such as "White Hennery Standards," "Selects" "Guaranteed Kggs," '"Oregon Ranch .Eggs,? "Mix- JOINT-EASEFor Stiff, Swollen Joints Rheumatic or Otherwise Says: "When Joint-Ease Gets in ; Joint Agony Gets Out." , It 'wits' a high-class pharmitcls who saw nreserlption after proscription fall to help hundreds of his customers 'to get rid of rhumatlc swellings ana 'stiff Inflamed Joints. '. . And It was this same man' who as 'sertsd that a remedy could and would ihe compounded that would make Jcreaky, swollen, tormented Joints 'work with Just as much smoothness 'an thou e'er did. , Now this prescription, rightly named Joint-Ease, after being lesiea successfully on many obstinate cases, is offered through progressive phar macists to the millions of people who suffer from ailing Joints that need limbering up. ' Swollen, twingy. Inflamed stiff, nnln-tormented loints are usually caused fr rheumatism, but whatever the cause Joint-Ease scans rignt through skin nnd flesh and gets right to and, correct the trouble at its source. , Remember Joint-Ease is for ail ments of the Joints, whether in ankle. knee, hip elbow, shoulder, spine or finger, and when . you' rub' it oh,' you may expect speedy and gratifying re sults. . It u now on sale at all druggists' for 60 cents at tih, Adv. ed Color Standards," "Current Receipt Eggs," and various other terms which to a great extent have meant absolute ly nothing In so far as tho quality or size of tho egg may have been con cerned. While the use' of some of these terms are allright among profes sional egg men, or what is known -as "the trade," at the present time they arc absolutely meaningless to the av erage consumer or household buyer ot eggs. This matter has simply run loose until serious abuses have come about, therefore we feel that it Is time that some' steps should bo taken to correct It. With this object in vlow, wo have undertaken to promulgate this new ruling through which all of these va rloiu terms aro done away wita in so far as they apply to a recognized qual ity or grade of eggs.' The definitions and stnndanls used are practically in lino with the rules and regulations of many other states, also the requirements of the United Slates department of agriculture and I challenge any one to find any'.iiir.g In them that will exclude marketable egg? from any market in Oregon. You will note that this ruling does not compel the farmer to grade his oggs if he finds It impossible for him to dd so unless ho is selling direct to the consumer. In that case he must can dle and grade his eggs. Neither does it compel tho country storekeeper to candlo and grado eggs received from the farmer only in such cases as he is distributing to the consumer. We rec ommend that the farmer should candle and grado his eggs. If ho does not tho storekeeper receiving them Bhoulrl candlo and grade' them. However if they will not do so we are not Jn po sition to compel them to but we will absolutely require that somewhere be tween the man who produces said eggs and the man who sells them to the fi nal distributor, they; shall be graded and candled.

Discussion of issues advocated bv presidential can didates William Gibbs McAdoo and United States Senator Oscar W. Underwood, together with the entry of six prominent Texnns in the race for the Democratic nomination tor governor, has brought the political pot hereabouts taa jhear-rboiling jiolht, despito tho fact that tho primary is four months away. Tho soldiers' bonus, tho 18lh amendment and tho Ku Klux Klan are included in the issues spoken of on all sides at present. Mr. McAdoo's stand on the bonus, Mr. Underwood's stand on the 18th: amendment, and the stand of the six candidates for governor on the Ku Klux Klan ques tion absorb Interest at present and overshadow the entry of numerous candidates for the lesser state offices. Both McAdoo and Underwood have established state headquarters In this city and aro lining up the state for in tensive campaigns. In the governorship race on tho democratic ticket, which really means the election, as the stato is over whelmingly Democratic, the follow ing hnvo announced their candidacies: Former Governor James B. Fergu son,' Lieutenant Governor T. W. Da vidson of Marshall; Adjutant General T. D. Darton of Amarillo; Lynch Da vidson of Houston; V. A. Collins of Dallas, and -State Senator Joe Burkett of Kastland. The Ku Klux Klan, a prime factor In tho last election. Is mentioned by three of tho gubernatorial candidates in their platforms. T. W. Davidson, Hmltett and Lynch Davidson have de clared against tho Klan, whilo the others havo not mentioned it. This Is Trune Week diamonds mixkd- IN loniiov IX MiVK SOIL rilOM AFKICA LONDON, Feb.

Tho mix up in deciding tho high school basket ball championship of the seventh dis trict, comprising Marlon, Polk and Clackamas counties, as brought to light by the declaring of Fallin, Su-I lem forward, as ineligible because of j having participated in high school sports more than four years as al-j lowed by the rules, has developed o num.. cnnnJovitina tlmt tha utinln fit. I lure of Salem threatens to bo in volved. Word received in a telegram this morning from Martin V. Nelson of Astoria, secretary of the Oregon Stato Interscholastic Athletic association, Indicates that the board will declare Salem's chances at tho championship forfeited, in which case it is thought that the Independence team would be declared district champions and tho team to represent tho district at the state' tournumcnt to bo held hero in March. 1 . If such should provo to bo the cose, with the revised Salem team not hav ing an opportunity to play Indepen dence high school tossers. there Is every reason to hclicvo that the tour1 nament here in March would prove a complete fizzle through lack of sup port with the result that Salem and Willamette would lose the right to hold tho tourney next year. Salem, through being tho seat of tho tour nament, gams considerable advertis ing. A number of high school playors who come to the tournament, gain their Impressions of Willamette and Salem on the trip and come hero to school. Should tho Independence high school represent this district, their unpopularity will be aggravated by the fact that their players are said to have known of Fallin's ineligibility throughout tho season, according to J. C. Nelson, principal or the Salem high school. Instead of mnklng known the fact thnt they would pro test Fallin should tho locals win, the Independence team has kept the fact a secret, Mr. Nelson says, which ho adds. Is a very poor exhibition ot sportsmanship. Tho local school offlciajs are ready to carry the matter as far as possible In determining thoj rightful cham pions of this district, Mr. Nelson de clared this morning. "What good Is a stato tournament If the teams representing the various districts are not the best in that dis trict?" Mr. Nelson asked. "We think thnt we still havo the best team, even without Fallin, nnd are ready to provo It In a series of games." This Is Prune Wook livestock. PORTLAND. Ore., Feb. 29. Cat tle steady; receipts 03.

He explained he pre-, fers to pay his fine by remaining in jail his full time. Knudson, a highly respected and pto ncor resident of the Applogato, was, nrrested by County Prohibition En- j forcemont Officer Sam R Samlofer lutit January, because his son Ilestor, sentenced to GO days and fined ?200 for tho same chargo, was "experiment ing" with a piece of copper tubing. No executive action has been taken in the case of tho 18 year old son. Knudson now maintains, thnt tho 'mash was sour dough, and that ho did not know about the copper tubing. The Kundsons entered a plea of guilty, it is alleged, upon a promise of a light, or no sentonce at all, and then had the above punishment Inflicted. As soon as friends, including many of tho most influential citizens .-of .lack sonvillo nnd tho Applegato heard of the case, they started a movo to se cure clemency, on the grounds that tho plea of guilty was from ignorance of the law, and not any real guilt. A series of letters asking a reprieve, were written the governor, who re plied, and finally a compromise was reached, that Knudson servo his jail sentence and pay his fine. While, tho letter writing was going on, the days went by, and tho aged miner had serv ed most of his fine before the reprieve arrived.' . Now he has decided to refuse the re prieve, and save money by serving 11 more days. This Is Prune Week ELECTED DIRECTOR PORTLAND, Ol'O., Foil. 29. A. J...
