Medford Mail Tribune Twenty-Fifth Year Today By Arthur Brlib&nt J. D., Jr. Gives $14,000, 000. To Survive, Advertise. Fear Strange Thing. Fifth In the U. S. A. Copyright King FeaturcB Synd. Inc. The world needs little and big tliiiiffs. It needs little brooks to cre ate loveliness; great Niagara to ereate power. j U needs little fortunes for millions of happy and useful families; big fortunes, with power, to do really big things. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., yesterday offered to New York City land for parks and build ings to the value of $14,000, 000. One enormous tract of 5G acres in Manhattan could not bo duplicated. Seven million dollars' worth o land, and seven million dol lars' worth of buildings, in cluding the magnificent new building, for . the' gothic art treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, make a con siderable gift. You must have many millions to do that. A short talk with John Hart ford, president of the Atlantic and Pacific chain stores, his brother, George Hartford, and A. G. Hoffman, his brother-in-law, makes you realize that the modern chain store business is really big business. It reveals the fact, although the revelation was not planned, I hat advertising is the best remedy for falling prices, - Before John Hartford's desk was a map showing tho drop in prices of commodities that looked like a wall of the Grand Canyon. But along the top-, un broken, ran a red line, showing well maintained prices and sales on well . advertised brands. The only exception among the well advertised brands was one particular cor poration food. Perhaps it does not advertise enough. Deep truth is in the advice: "If your business isn't worth advertising, advertise it for sale." Some in California have ob jected to the entrance of At lantic and Pacific stores there. The reply of the company is: "We spend fifty million dol lars every year, buying Cali fornia products." That one "chain''' does an annual business of one thou sand million dollars, pays rail n ads and other public car riers forty-five million dollars a year for transporting goods. The steel industry of the United States pays the railroads only forty millions. - The company's profit on its turnover, according to Mr. Hartford, is two per cent, i!0 millions on a billion. J. Ogden Armour, when his income was $25,000,000 a year, guid: "I feel like a gypsy when I think about Rockefeller' and Carnegie." - Kear works strangely. Amy Johnson, English girl, J:, flew all alone in her little gypsy Moth plane from Eng land to Australia, ten thou sand miles, without fear or hesitation. Hurricanes, lightning, fogs, wide oceans, deserts, jungles, all meant nothing to that girl. But when a radio hookup was all arranged and the world was listening, little Miss John son ran away.

By D. Ham Id Oliver (Associated Press Stuff Writer) WASHINGTON, June 7. i Conceding the opposition the ma jority of the doubtful votes, sen ate republican leaders today fig ured, with all senators accounted for, the tariff bill would pass the senate late next week by 49 to 47. This will not be the actual vote1 because at least half a dozen sen ators arc expected to be absent and paired but whatever ft may be the bill's proponents calculated two ballots would carry the long pending legislation over its big gest hurdle and obviate the neces sity of Vice President Curtis breaking a tie to pass It. In making individual polls tho republican chieftains were noting with no little curiosity the para dox of tho two senators from Pennsylvania holding open minds on the bill. Senator Grundy of Bristol whose name has been pinned to the bill by the democrats, was regarded as the most doubtful al though Heed of Pittsburgh has said tie will not announce his de cision until Tuesday or Wednes day. ' Tho loss of either of these two Keystone state senators might mean a tie. Kyoto, (Jiundfc has not announced dof Inltely ho will vote against the bill but sometime back ho indi cated he whs. displeased with It That was when the coalition of democrats and republican inde pendents were In puwor. and wrjt, Irig the measure to their liking. The conferees have changed many of tho coalition rates but left the levies on aluminum and certain sizes of plate glass below tho ex isting level. These are important product of Pennsylvania. Reed on many occasions has predicted the bill would die and Indicated he would not weep if It did. But this also wan In the relcn of the coalition. He was helping formulate the London naval treaty during most of the conferees revision and until he haw studied the bill in Us present form he will remain doubtful. Senator S m o.o'U republican. (Hah, chairman of the donate con ference committee, reiterated the firm belief the bill would pass. He hopes to complete the correc tion of the watch paragraphs Monday In time to report the measure bark to the senate. WEATHER BALKS Dl'lll.l.V. June 7 Pl Captain Chat-lea Kingston! Smith and Ills three comrades of thp air tonight deferred their proposed flight 'o America and flew hack to Baldon nel airdrome from Curragh camp to await suitable weather for the Utkeoff. The flight had been set to start at dawn tomorrow, but weather re ports from London dashed the hopes of the Australian air pio neer, who In 1928 .spanned the southern seas In the "Southern Cross", the same plane he Intends to try to r!y the Atlantic. The weather forecast that blight ed his hopes for tomorrow "were for uncertain conditions over the Atlantic, with a 40 to 50-mlle west or southwest wind.

BISHOP FACES E STATE HANDS WASHINGTON, June T (Pi A proposal to discipline Bishop Cannon. Jr., for his defiance of the senate lobby committee, tonight appeared to be in prospect for next week, but Its fate was uncertain. With committee members about evenly divided on the right of the church man in refusing to answer questions about his 1928 anti Smith activities, indications were that such a proposal would he de cided by a one-vote marnin. A course of procedure for deal ing with Cannon, who climaxed his refusal to answer questicms by walking out on the committee, has been held In abeyance, pending the return from Arkansas of Chairman Cam way. It was regarded as al most a certainty, however, that the committee would be called upon to vote on Homo disciplinary proposal. Senator Borah, republican, is be lieved to hold the balance of power In a move of this sort. Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon tana, the acting chairman, and Ken ator Blaine, republican. Wlsron sin, contended they were within their right In questioning Cannon about his political activities and they ore of the opinion that Borah sides with them. However, Borah ha not made public his opinion. Chairman Car away and Hons tor Robinson, re publican, Indiana, side with Can non. They contend the committee has nn Hunt to investigate political activities. TIp Weather Oregon.

DM TO TEST VOTE IN 3 STATES Clear Cut Issue In New Jersey For First Time, When Morrow, Practical Diplomat Favors Repeal Dry Maine Again Bat tleground. WASHINGTON. June 7 P Prohibition la up for a decisive voters' decision In tho June state primary elections. In Maine, the bell-wether state. ami one of the first to adopt state prohibition, and In New Jersey it I an Ishuo that has been badly placed before the electorate as a choosing point between candidates. In Min nesota the question of areferon-. dtini has been broached. It Is the first time," Franklin W. Fort, New Jersey, has sal J. "that the question of whether the eighteenth amendment to tho Con stitution shall be retained or re pealed has been the clear-cut nnd unmistakable Issue In any state In the United States." Fort Is a dry candidate for the republican nomination for senator from Now Jorsey, against three men who have expressed varyirtg' degrees of opposition to prohibit-.: Ion. They are Dwlght Whitney Mor row. Joseph S. Frelinghuysen and John A. Kelly. New Jersey always has been a wet Btato. But as it comes In now In the van of elections In these times when discussion of prohibit ion has reached a new high mark of Intensity the - probable result takes on much importance In gaug- Ing sentiment on the eighteenth amendment. Morrow, an Amherst classmate nf Calvin Coolldgo, and ambassa dor to Mexico, is standing unequi vocally for repeal of the eighteenth amendment; ho wants restored ta tho states the Individual right to determine their attitude -on- the liquor question. Frelinghuysen, a former senator,' hits a platform advocating gov ernmental liquor control. A "regu lar republican opposed to pro-, hlbltlon," la the way Kelly has des ignated himself. , , Fort formerly was secrotary ' of the republican national committee. Ho directed the pre-convention campaign of Mr. Hoover for the presidency. His state will go to the polls on June 17, tho day after Maine and Minnesota have voted. The three states will round out the Juno pri mary list. Prohibition as an Issue has been raised In Maine In the republican contest for the nomination for sen ator to succeed Arthur R. Gould, who Is retiring. Dugald B. Dewar, Portland se curities dealer, tho wet candidate, has pledged himself to work for "repeal or modification" of the prohibition law and has advanced no other point tor discussion.
