ARTICLE No. 5
There are still a number of auction
players who as dealer do not under
stand what to do with certain types cA
hands. Most players know when to bid
no-trump or one of a suit but every now
and then they hold hands that puzzle
them. For example, suppose you dealt
and held the following hand:
Hearts A, K, J
Clubs 9, 7,4,3 '
Diamonds A, K, Q
Spades 8, 5, 4
What would you bid? The only proper
bid with this hand is one no-trump and
yet the holder of this hand passed. It is
too strong to justify a pass for if you
do, there is a very good chance of the
hand being passed out. It will also mis
lead partner as to strength held. Here's
another hand;
Hearts A, K, 4
Clubs A, 9
Diamonds K, J, 3
Spades Q. J, 10, 9, 8
Should vou bid one no-trump or one
spade? This is a very close hand. Per- ,
sonally the writer prefers a spade bid
but would not criticize a no-trump.
These two hands are indicative of the
difficulty that still confronts auction
players who have not vet mastered the
proper bids of the deafer. The dealer is
in a peculiar position for he can always
give exact information. For that reason
he should strive to bid correctly. To
pass under certain circumstances is
just as bad as to bid incorrectly. Don't
pass sound bids for to do so is just as
misleading as an unsound bid. Your
partner depends on you as dealer to
give exact information both by your
bids and your passes, so strive to do so
at all times.

No score, rubber game. Z dealt and
passed, A bid one spade, Y one no
trump, B passed and Z bid two hearts.
A and Y passed and B bid two spades,
Z bid three clubs, A and Y passed and
B bid three spades. Z bid four clubs, A
doubled, Y redoubled and B bid four
spades. Z and A passed, Y doubled, B
redoubled and all passed. Y opened the
ace of hearts ana then led the trey.
How should A play the combined hands?
After winning the second trick with the
king of "hearts, A should lead the king
of spades. He should then lead a low
diamond and win the trick in B's hand
with the king, fie should then lead a
low spade and win the trick with the ace
in his own hand. In this particular hand,
Z failed to follow suit on the second
round of spades. A was now in a posi
tion where he could count Z's hand
very accurately. Y's lead of the ace and
trey of hearts and the fact that B held
the deuce indicated that Y originally
neid only two hearts. 1 hereiore L must
have held six hearts. Z's bid and rebid
of clubs indicated that he must have
held at least five clubs so that his orig
inal holding must have been six hearts,
five clubs, one spade and one diamond.
Therefore, A at the sixth trick should
lead a diamond and finesse the jack.
Played in this way, AB should make
their contract for YZ can only make
the ace of hearts and two spade tricks.
Play out the hand for practice.

There are no trumps and Z is in the
lead. How can YZ win three of the five
tricks against any defense?
Answer to Problem No. 3
Z should lead the jack of spades and A's
best play is the queen. If A should play
the ace, YZ will win the balance of the
tricks, If A allows the jack to hold the
trick, AB can only win one trick. When
A, therefore, plays the queen of spades,
Y should win the trick with the king
and lead the eight of hearts. If B plays
the ten, Z should play the king and
then lead the nine. If B plays low, Z
should play the nine, forcing A in the
lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade.
If the former, Z wins the trick and
leads a spade. If A leads the ace and
small spade, Y will win the remaining
tricks. In either case therefore, AB can
only win one spade and one heart trick
so that YZ win three of the five tricks
against any defense.
GOLD HILL, Oct. lO.-rEx-Mayor
W. H. Miller, who sola out his busi
ness and home property here In Gold
Hill last summer and left for the
north and later located in Salom by
buying a home there, has returned to
Gold Hill to relocate. Ho reports that
he has sold his home, store, garage
business and all his interests there
at Salem and Is now ready to do busi
ness again In Gold Hill. His son, R.
Lloyd Miller, who waB connected with
him In the several Gold Hill busi
nesses before selling out here and was
connected with the several business
enterprises In Salem, returned last
week with his family and are now
domiciled at their old home on Fifth
avenue North in Gold. Hill. It Is re
ported that the Millers will go into
business In the near future In Gold
Hill, and the senior Miller will com
mence the immediate construction of
dwelling houses for rent and sale on
vacant property on the highway street
in Riverside addition in Gold Hill.
It Is reported tha, tho Kehnar-Van-pet
Mining company has taken ovur
the old , Roaring Gimlet mine on
Kanes creek, three miles out from
Gold Hill, and situated just below the
Gold Ridge mine. They propose to
sink a shaft several hundred feet deep
below the old workings where the
free-milling ore runs out into the bnso
ore and then cross-cut Into new works
which has evidence of much mineral
wealth above, and below the east-west
workings cutting the property. This
property produced over $100,000 in
high-grade free milling ore down to
the base ore at a depth of less than
65 feet while the base ore below has
never been developed. .
Harry Childers has sold part of his
home tract on the highway street in
Riverside addition to Earl F. Moore,
an old-time cement employe, who will
build a home on the new possession
in the near future. This Is the fore
runner of a string of home building
which are being planned on these
Riverside tracts between the river and
the highway the coming season. It is
proposed to open First avenue north
through these tracts, thus cutting a
street the entire length of Riverside.

"NO PEDDLERS OR
AGENTS ALLOWED"
'On sovori.1 hundred roaidonceB,'
said a locnl printer today, "in Medford
appears this neat metal sign: 'No
Peddlers or Agents Allowed,' which Is
all right nnd It not only protects the
housewives from being continually
bothered with peddlers, but It has a
tendency to promote buying at home,
as it should, and offers tho purchnsor
protection in the way of a gunrantee.
as the home merchant will make good
everything while the solicitor is here
today nnd tomorrow in some other
place. The nrtlcle of the home mer
chant In nearly every instance is of
a hotter quality and is as cheap or
cheaper as a rule.
"However, peddlers nnd agents of
concerns outside of Medford are so
Melting and selling every day to the
merchnnts, professional men, manu
facturers, fruit houses, city and county
officers letter heads, miles slips, dupli
cate order blanks, ledgers .and other
blank books, bookkeeping nnd adding
machines, bill and ledgor sheets, fruit
labels, fruit wrappers and all other
kinds of printing that goes to pay the
salaries of printers In other cltios.
This is done without even thinking
about inquiring from some homo
printer If ho could do the work.
"A large majority of the envelopes
used by Medford business nnd pro
fessional men nre purchased from the
government at a price lower than any
printer can buy them. Tho govern
ment enrries hundreds of tons of these
envelopes by parcel post all over the
country and does not charge anything
for postage, which Increases the pos
tal shortage ninny thousands of dol
lars each year. If the government
was selling goods in opposition to the
dry goods, clothing, hardware, drug
and other lines of business, a H is in
opposition ' to the printer, producing
goods in large quantities and deliver
ing them all oyer the country free,
they would drive many merchants and
manufacturers out of business and a
great howl would go up from those
affectod.
"If homo protection Is good for the
merchant, professional man. manu
facturers nnd fruit house, why should
it not apply to tho printers, who also
have thousands of dollars invested
and pay taxes the same as other
people do?
"Take a survey of tho printing nnd
books In your office. See if It wan
printed or made nt home, and If not
resolve to call up some of the home
printers the next time you need any
thing. "Whon n solicitor calls on you tell
him politely you give your work to
home prlntors and Insist that you can I
ouy anything printed or made from
your home town as cheap as thoy cnn.
"Why not put n sign in your plnce
of business, 'No Peddlors or Agents
Allowed'?"

This will be an opportunity for the
men already in charge of troops to

ing, i
AVIiat Scouting Is 1
Scouting is America's accepted pro
gram for boy development. Scouting
touches all tho interests of boy lffo.
Camp craft, wood craft, first aid, life
saving, signaling, chivalry, nnd handi
craft prepare the boy to bo of service
to himself and others. Sixty subjects
give him n ehanco to develop hobbles
and furnish a constructive outlet for
boy energy.
' Scouting is outdoor life, and so
health, strength, happiness and prac
tical education.
Scouting builds character through
tho daily good turn; citizenship thru
service; health through outdoor fun.
Scouting is the community's oppor
tunity to reach the boy for good
citizenship.
Tho scout program "reaches every
element of boy life regardless of race,
creed, cluss or condition.
Any boy, of any nationality, of nny
creed, twelve years of ago or older,
may become a Boy Scout if ho pro
mises to keep the scout oats and laws.
The Boy Scout movement Is non
sectarian, non-military, and non-
. partisan. ..
J The plan is to group a number of
(boys in a troop, under the leadership
of a scoutmaster a carefully-selected
clean. Intelligent, boy-loving leader
always a .man of sterling character
nnd mature Judgment.
The Boy Scout Is taught courtesy,
honor, humanity, kindliness, chivalry,
and service, and to exercise them at
home, in school and outside, and
learns such practical activities as-first
aid. life saving, cooking, swimming.
But the real object of this splendid
contact between men and boys is
character development. The fascin
ating scout program is bu.t a means
to that end.
The Boy Scout must do a "good
turn" daily.
