i; Unburied to Await 'Resurrection
MERRILL, Ore., Oct. 11. (VP)
While Investigators delve into the
Lv hirlpool of controversy and mys
tery into whieh a religious cult
headed by Airs. May Otis Black
burn of Los Angeli'S. has found
Itself, it has been discovered that
in this little Klamath county com
munity the cult was organized
more than twenty years ago. The
influence of the organization
spread to several other nearby
communities under the leadership
of Mrs. W. P. K bonds and her hus
band, who are now detulned by
Los Angeles police.
Several years ago Mrs. Tthoads
and her followers in the Merrill
district removed to southern Cali
fornia where they were lured by
the discovery of oil.
A prominent Klamath Falls
physician, whoso brother. Dr. A.
M. Patterson, now practices In San
Francisco, attended at the birth
of the girl later adopted by Mr.
nnd Mrs. Khoads. Her body was
discovered under the flooring of a
cottage occupied by the Khoads.
1'he physician was the author of
an article In n Klamath Falls
newspaper In 1 901) In which he
protested ngainst conditions In
Merrill, caused, he said, by follow
ith of .Mrs. lihouibh r.ilft. enumer
ated three Instances In which chil
dren had died without a physician
having been summoned.
Dr. Patterson wrote of one fam
ily which permitted the body of
their child to go unburied for days
In the belief that it would be
resurrected. Neighbors were told
that the child was "asleep."
Dr. Patterson said Mrs. Rhonds
was a "practitioner" In her relig
ion and that she even claimed
power to heal sick animals by ap
plication of "thought waves."
Spanish Romance

"The Girl From Rio," now play
ing at the IhIb theater Is a colorful
nnd exotic romance of Spain, with
a setting in lilo do Janeiro, l'no
picture has plenty of dramatic
fire, the love element Is strongly
emphasized.
The whirl of the dance In a
Simnish cafe, the clicking of cas
tenets, passion nnd hate, love nnd
greed are all represented In this
ravishing romance of a Spanish
Kenorlta who gave up all for the
Bake of love.
Carmel Myers plays the title
role. Walter Pidgeon plays the
pnrt nf the KngHshman.
An Exemplary Code of Living for All
Medford s Thoughtful, Progressive Citizens
"It Is really surprising to me,"
said "Bill" Dollar, "to find out
how good natur'ed the merchnnts
of Medford can be In spite of the
many annoying business transac
tions that come to their attention
from time to time.
"There are some people who go
to other cities to make important
purchases of clothing and home
furnishings, while others send by
mall for their needs, but when they

ADVERTISING I
find they are in need of some trif
ling article in a hurry, they rush
down to the home store and de
mand that it be supplied to them
instantly and then blame the store
if It does not have just what they
want.
"They expect these stores to
keep stocked up all of the time
with a large variety of goods,"
continued "Bill" Dollar, "yet they
will not help to supply the nil
round patronage which Is the only
basis for keeping such a general
stock.
"It Is a tremendous convenience
and advantage to have a fine
grouptof retail stores such as Med
ford has, in a town. Such estab
lishments furnish a community
with sources of supplies that deal
all over the world. A good store
supplies the comforts and cssen-'
tials of civilization, and it is a
wonderful benefit to have It close
by where you can call on Its serv
ice at any moment and get its sup
plies and Us advice.
"But people cannot expect to
have the kind of stores that Med
ford is entitled to, on the basis
of Its population and .wealth, If!
they are constantly running to or,
sending to other places to buy j
goods. Unless they give their pat-1
ronage to Medford stores the home;
stores cannot expect to serve them j
efficiently. 1 . ' '
"It Is well for the people of
Medford to remember that the
same stores and the men and wo-1
men who own nnd operate them j
are a tremendous force working
all of the time to provldo Med-
ford with all forms of modern;
equipment to improve its civic ad- '
vantages nnd to advance Its pros- !
polity. "When you support them!
you back up and help Medford. !
"The home store is the one that i
Is expected to extend credit to ;
those who need it, despite the fact j
tihi4t very frequently the people'
who ask for the most credit are!
those who have bought tho most j
out of town. ;
"It Is unfair to the Medford nior- j
chants and also to the city, for j
unless a town's business thrives !
and its merchants prosper, a town ;
cannot grow as It sh'ould. j
"Every citizen of this commun- j
ity should think carefully about
this cody of diving," said "Bill" .
Dollar. j
"Buy goods from our own mer- j
chants and manufacturers, be
cause j
"You get good products. i
"You give more work to home
people.
"You help to build your city's
industries.
"You get quick service on de
liveries. "You get fresh products.
"You owe It to your city to co
operate with other citizens.
"You earn your money here and
should spend it here.
"You help to build a better city.
"You will advance as your city
advances.
"You can make your money do
more work In yorur own city.
"You will feel better.
"You can face your local mer
chant without flinching.
"You can prove then that you
are a loyal citizen in your own
city."
