as far south ns Ashland and prob
ably on down Into California. The
writer has talked, sung, shouted
and warned about earwigs for
years past. I have believed them
present in Medford and have im
plored clubs, associations and in
dividuals to watch for them and
bring in any suspected insect.
About three years ago the in-
pectors placarded the entire coun
ty. But it remained for one wo
man to finally report a case last
June. This led to the survey which
shows about 50 localities Infested
in Medford. The infestation is
not heavy, except In a few spots
and we believe that, with perfect
co-operation from the property
holders, we can reduce the infesta
tion to n minimum if not eradi
cate the earwigs. But it is essen
tial that we get henrty .co-operation.
I.lfo History.
The female earwig deposits from
30 to 60 eggs in a cavity or
under a board or rock.. The first
brood appears about April and
another follows during the sum
mer. They are nocturnal in habit,
hiding in leaves, crevices or under
objects during the day time. At
night they sally forth. They climb
to the top of the trees or work
around the roots, they onter
houses and infest them from cellar
to garret. They are not at all fas-
carefully spread in cracks and
crevices and under objects to be
out of the way of birds, cats, dogs,
etc The earwig eats of this bait
and dies.
The sodium fluoride Is not poi
sonous to humans In small quanti
ties, but its action is very slow,
requiring from two to four days
to kill the Insect. Also this bait,
made with bran, must be moist to
be effective.
ltecoiiimeiida tions.
I recommend that, pending ac
tive operations by the inspectors,
that property owners obtain a
recognized BAIT, not n spray or
powder to sprinkle on the Insects
and follow closely the directions
of tho manufacturer. While we,
do not favor any one bait above
another at present, yet wo are pre
pared to recommend one which
'we have every reason to believe
has been proven to be effective.
Tho name of this bait will be
given to applicants who will ask
the county agent or Mr. Oatman.
Earwigs found under boards,
stones or other places may bo in
stantly killed by pouring a small
qunntlty of gasoline on them or
down tho crevices. Clasollne, of
course, not to be npplled where
there Is danger of fire. Other in
structions can he had from tho In
spectors or from Mr. AVilcox, coun
ty agent.

The vacation season of the post
office is now In full swing. Of the

Our Policies
The fact that J. C. Penney Company stores
do not hold "Special Sales" or use comparative
prices sometimes brings cut the question, WHY
such a policy?
We never tell you an article is worth ten
dollars, and we are going to sell it Saturday
only for seven-fifty. If the article was worth
ten dollars, that would be our price. For the
first valuation would be placed there by us any
way. If it is worth ten dollars on Friday, unless
it is soiled, out of style or defective it appears
to us it would be worth ten dollars on Saturday.
Why lower the price Saturday and raise it
again Monday? A one price store, like ours,
favors none in particular, and neither does it
penalize anyone.
rw -
What would be your reaction if your local
banker would placard his place of business
with signs reading, "Five Dollar Gold Pieces,
Saturday only, S3.98." It is ridiculous to imagine
such a case and rightly so, because five dollar
gold pieces do not depreciate in value their
worth is standardized.
And while on the word "standardized," let
us again remind you that we build our mer
chandise UP to a standard, Not DOWN to a
price. Our quality and values are standardized
in 1400 stores. Style can never be standardized.
Our slogan, "Quality Always at a Saving"
is supported by the fact that we do notsell
"seconds" or defective merchandise. We do
NOT buy job lots or bankrupt stocks. Hence
you will find here, "Quality Always at a Sav
ing," A reality not merely an advertising
slogan.
