A GOOD INVESTMENT
THE pcoplo of Sams Valley are to be congratulated upon se
curing a shorter and more direct route to Medford. This
new "cut-off" will not only benefit Sams. Valley, but this city
as well.
With this important rural district 'placed two and one-half
inilcs neurerj with 1G needless curves eliminated, the cost of
construction will not so much represent an expenditure as a
dividend paying investment.
There was a time when cow paths determined the routes
of highways. "Them, days arc gone forever." Economically,
direct lines 6 communication arc now nioro important than
ever before.
In constructing the Sam's Valley road,, the County Court has
initiated a road policy which should, and undoubtedly will, be
extended to every important producing center in Jackson
County. ' i

THE 100 PER CENT MOTILE
,-lteadcr gave me a good scold
ing because I alluded hero to a
schem'o . of mail order charlatans
w h o follow up
tho first letter to
tho prospect with
another in which
the price of tho
treatment is re
d u c o d "severul
hundred per
cent" as an In
ducement. . This,
my mathematical
friend assures
me. Is impossible, as there can't be
more than 100 per cent of any
thing. In theory, no doubt that
Is correct. But not in practice.
Positively not. Once 1 had a pa
tient, oh, yes, I did, and naturally
I was very anxious to get from my
patient the only kind of advertising
a physician can enpoy, so 1 gave
the patient a wonderful new medi
cine and had the satisfaction of
receiving several repeat orders for
tho medicine. Allowing nothlug
for tho advertising you know wo
ethical doctors never pay for it
1 figured up and found I had paid
08 cents for each butch of medi
cine for which tho patient, maybe
would poy me 50 cents.. If my net
loss on this transaction was not
more than 100 per cent, I'll under
take to cat some of that very
medicine.
Some omniscient writer settles
Iho evolution debate by remarking
that he hus never heard of a dog
being turned into a goat, or some
thing to that effect. If he will
stick around a few hundred thou
sand years maybe he will see quite
ns startling changes. Under the
microscope scientists now have
such an advantage in observation,
for microscopic organism's paws
through their life cyclo and mul
tiply thousands of times to ono
generation of a dog or goat. Thus
the .student who bases his concep
tions on observation rather than
tho promptings of his own Inner
consciousness, may actually watch
tho transmutation of ono species
of ameba or monocule Into an
other, or of ono type of germ, say a
disease producing germ, into an
other type that is perfectly harm
less to man, or vlco versa. These
actual transmutations nro brought
about by changes In tho environ
ment. When you think of evolution
there's no need to make a monkey
of yourself.
Man Is evolving, I hope, as rap
idly as tho infusoria or tho mi
crobes in the experiment, , compar
atively. Anyway, I am sui-0 woman
is. -I hnvo been watching her now
fdr only a generation or two', and
yet t can see a distinct change. She
is getting bigger, stronger, belter
und more beu.utlful all, observers
must agreo to that. Never before
bus she been qulto so fit as site
Is today for her pailt In the per
petuation of the species. Not only
more, fit for motherhood, but more
capable of nursing her baby is the
average woman of today. There
lias -been unmlstukahlc improve
ment among women In that respect
In our generation, und I call that
evolution, development of a su
perior and more desirable woman
hood, henco a better raco.
As recently ns 80 years ago young
women of tho best caste in many
instances bluntly declined to nurse
their own infants on ono ground or
another thut a decent, intelligent
woman would hardly dare to con
fess now. That's evolution.
Thirty years ago ono Infant out
ot every six horn nllvo failed to
survive a year. Today only one
in every 10 or 1 1 infants succumbs
in the first year. This great gain
is largely duo tu the disposition and
capacity of mothers to nurse their
babies, other .things being equal,
the baby nursed at the mother's
breast has three time as good n
chance to live ns has tha unfor
tunate infant that must be hund
raised.
The 100 per cent molher Is on
tho way, thanks to education and
evolution.

Review of Current Literature
By Book Lovers of Medford
A Guidepost to the Best in Late Books As Selected by County libra
rian Mist Fay Woolsey for Reaction of Local Readers.
Round Lp. by King Lardner. to
viewed by Bill Coriroy. ,
- For its April feature, tho Liter
ary Guild "offers Its readors a col-
lection.of short stories by that dis
tinguished wit, Ring W. Lardner.
Kound Up brings tho finest tales
written by Mr. Lardner during tho
past three years.
A number of the chapters in Mr.
Lardner's latest edition will be fa
milial' to the readers of Cosmopoli
tan 'and Collier's Weekly, having
previously appeared in these peri
odicals as feature stories. - -
The themo of tho majority of the
stories Is life on base bull clubs,
whether they ho in Potswentsia,
Indiana or in Now York. Lardner
is Ht his best when writing of tho
diamond as those who romornber
his comic strip, "Rube O'Keefe,"
which ran in leading newspapers
throughout tho country several
years- ago, already know. The
story .which appealed to mo most
in this class was "Alibi Ike." the
chronicle of a man who could not
admit anything without reserva
tions. Comparing very favorably
with this story Is "My Roomy,"
which incidentally is tho longest
one of tho volume.
. Ring excels when telling, of
homo life in America, . knowing
from personal experience the help
and guidance of your usual bridge
partner. These typical American
gatherings allow Lardner to bring
into pluy his dazzling wit to 'its
fullest extent. , One of tho best
stories of bridge playing is "Con
tract" in which the main character
Shelton. offers his opinion of ama
teur Sidney Lenz's not in tho usual
manner but to their faces. This
feat alone should place him in the
hall of fame.
Lardner shows thut he is not
always the jester, in his stories,
"Old Folks Christmas," and
"There Arc Smiles." These fea
tures show real power,' tho first of
which particularly touches ,the
heartstrings. . It is tho story .of
modern parents whoso children
have outgrown them. The latter is
tho experience of a traffic cup with
a heart which In itself makes the
story unusual.
Collections of short sotrles have
never been particularly popular
with the American public, but, the
selection of Mr. Jjardner's volume
by the Literary Guild is a step in
One right direction. Certainly
Round Up wiy be looked upon as
an exceptionally fine piece of light
fiction.
Absalom Grimes, Confederate Mall
Runner, ICdited by M. M. Qualfc
Reviewed by Wm. Dougherty.
This Is a journal of tho Civil war
sufficiently out of tho ordinary to
be remarkable. The author had a
varied career. He first was a mem
ber "Of ono of the, Irregular Con
federate bands' that sprang up ut
the beginning of tho war. When
these had run their course und
passed out, he enlisted In a regular
buttulion. Later, ho became a
mall carrier extraordinary between
the Missouri troops and their rela
tives In the homes from which the
men had been driven In support of
their cnuso.
The book was written In 1010
1911 from a diary .of tho author.
Henco, It presents no comprehen
sive record of tho activities of tire
conflict, but is merely a cross-section
from Major Grimes view
point. This is perhaps, tho one
main objection: It is a characteris
tic reminiscence. The pages are
cluttered up. with the names of
what seems to bo practically every
one with whom the writer, came in
contact. This, is paraduisical for
the historian nnd tho collector,
but It rather impairs the unity of
tho narrative for the lay reader.
On tho other hand, for the student
uf human nature the main strength
of tho volume also lies in tills
point, for it is . valuable for Its
picture of conditions and personal
reactions. But for tho eeker of
the entertaining rather than the
student, the interest arises, from
Grimes' exploits. (
The theme begins tamely wltii
the writer shooting into " waving
mullan fields at night mistaking
them for tho enemy. Soon, how
ever, tho story gains momentum
nnd we arc held as In a London
story of action. Wo are not put
into prison until wc escape. Oeuth
sentences mean nothing to um. We
run .the. impassable lines constant
ly, and transport thousands ot let
tors to expectant friends thru the
very midst of the enemy. But,
alart, even these thrills must pale,
and .toward the last of tho war,
tho author's heroic spirit is finally
broken.
After combining this spirit of
adventure with the sincere and
brief style, which h a refresh Ins
