" decision to devote it cash reserve fund of everal hun
dred dollars to introducing pure
of Jackson County, In our opinion a more practical and con
truetive move hag never been
in the city.
The dairy business is essentially a manufacturing business.
Its product is milk, its machinery is the cow. Dairying is an
important industry in this county, which has grown remarkably
in the past few years. Its immediate problem, however, is not
so much increasing the NUMBER of cows, as increasing ;;he
VOLUME AND QUALITY OF. MILK the cows produce.
; Therefore, the Rotary club, in introducing a better grade of
stock, is giving the local dairy industry precisely the type of
assistance it needs.
THE value of this assistance may be more clearly understood
perhaps if the manufacturing analogy be carried a little
farther. ' .
How successful would a factory be, for example, a motor
car factory, a sock factory", or what not if a few machines pro
duced say 100 units a day while a majority of the machines
produced one-half or one-third that number f
' Obviously it would hot be very rwessful, for thecost of
operating the inferior machine would ie as great as the cost of
operating the superior machine, whereas the production of the
latter would greatly exceed the production of the former. As
a result net profits on the good machine would be more than
eaten up by net losses on the .poor machine, and the faotory
would be operating at a loss or at a serious sacrifice in profits,
due to imperfect and inadequate equipment. . '
Under such conditions, any capable faotory manager would
promptly scrap the poor machines and replace them with good
machines, thus at no increase in the cost' of operation and
slight increase in capital investment he would produce a large;
volume and finer quality and materially inorease his profits. :
e a a -
WELL, that is exactly the situation in the local dairy indus

stock, means installing, better
machines, thug increasing the

And this will put dairying in Jackson County, in a position,

"Bargain
PIE recent "bargain day" conducted by the Mail Tribune
was 'the most successful in its history. More people than
ever before took advantage of it.
. But strange to relate, judging by reactions since then, more
people than ever before FAILED to take advantage of it. At
any rate, never before have so many desired to secure the bar
gain rate, after the expiration of the time limit.
Obviously it would be entirely unfair to those who took
advantage of the bargain day to grant the same privilege to
those who failed to do so. Far better to hold no "bargain day"
at all. ' .
This is written to correct a misapprehension whloh appar
ently exists in .many quarters, namely s that the regular bargain
day, is not o'onduoted in good faith that the bargain price can
be secured at any time during the year..
, . This is untrue. Bargain day first started as one day only,
was then extended to two, then three j and this year, bo that no
one desiring the bargain rate, oould have an excuse for not tak
ing advantage of it, to a week.
When that week ends the bargain ffer ends, it is the only
honorable way a bargain day can be conducted.
Another "Bargain Day"
SPEAKING of bargain days and failing to take advantage of
them
In 'mid-October there will be
miss good musical entertainment in Southern Oregon and want
to hear something really worth while.
The people of Medford and Jackson County will be invited
to join the Civic Musio association, a national organization, and
enjoy at least three excellent concerts during the winter.
Probably many who have read of this movement have put
it down as another "drive" to get contributions from reluctant
donors, but such is not the case
There will be no drive in the generally accepted sense, no
pleas for help, no auper-salos methods.
It will- be entirely an invitational affair. If 400 or more peo
ple in Medford and Jaokson County care enough for good inusio
to join this association at $5 per year, they will get it , if they
don't they won't. That is all there is to it, ,
But this faot should be borne In mind. For only ONE
WEEK will the opportunity be open. After that time, if the
Unit is established, members of the association and ONLY MEM
BERS, will be able to attend the entertainments.
For real music lovers the membership drive will not repre
sent an obligation, 'but an opportunity. It will be entirely up
to them, whether or not they wish to take advantage of it.

THE PASTE TREATMENT
Following clotting in the vein and
inflammation or Infection, which
doctor call tftrombo-phleblti or
just phlebitis
(vein Inflamma

ated or hardened
area ot the leg
remain, and
this 1 likely to
soften in the
center and break
down, thus pro
ducing an ulcer.
Once suoh vari
cose ulcer devel
ops en the leg,
the condition la
obstinate to remedy, because the cir
culation and nutrition of the alfeot
ed area is inadequate, by reason of
the varicose veins.
.Varicose ulcers, however, are never
Incurable unless malignancy (can
cer) develops In a long neglected
cass. Many victims of varicose ulcer
suffer for years, not because there
le no cure for them, but merely be
cause they are oh, well, you know
mo, Al. I put it to you, don't you
somtlme call your most beloved
friends tools or dumbbells or idiots
bscsus of ttllnga they do or tall to
do? I wish I might be as friendly
a that in chatting with our read
ers. But I can't. So many readers
are so darn weu, well, I can't
explain It.
What I mean is that, In my own
experience, only on out of - every
six or eight varicose ulcer patients
would ever ret me have more than
one whack at the treatment, - If my
first dressing, prescription or plan of
treatment taUed to heal the ulcer
in a week or so, th seven sufferers
passed along to the next doctor, nos
trum or quack. The eighth took
a chance, stayed with m for further
trial, and presently ws healed. Un
derstand I am not boasting and
neither do I know a cure tor vari
cose ulcer nor will I undertake to
treat anybody who has one. I am
simply trying to enlighten suoh suf
ferers about the prospect of our.
I repeat, varicose ulcere are never
incurable when properly treated, ex
oept tn thoee cases where prolonged
Irritation haa caused, cancerous
change. '
- There Is no definite plan of treat
ment w.hlch is best in all case. Each
oaae as It presents Itself to the phy
sician requires Individual considera
tion and a plan of treatment-to suit
the particular indications
One fundamental factor whloh de
mands consideration In every oase Is
the Inadequate circulation and nu
trition ot the tissues of the leg.
Measures to oombat this as far as
possible are essential for success in
treatment. Many different means of
combating th stagnation ot blood
tn th leg are available. Among
them are (1) lying on your back
and Juggling an. Imaginary balloon
with your feet In the air for a min
ute or so every hour; (2) lying or
Utely drawing In her breath with
Oriental poUteness, saying to the
League ot Nations: "You attend to
your business and I shall attend to
mine."
Brigadier v Oeneral Rellly, of the
United Statea reserve corps, inform
you that in time o; war the Japanese

FOR VARICOSE ULCER
sitting with the affected limb rest
ing on an Inclined plane above Vie
level of your body; (8) wearing very
flat low heels or none' or going bare
foot: (4) wearing elastic stockings
or bandage applied morning before
you get up from bed; (5) practicing
belly breathing: () adhesive plaster
strapping of leg and ulcer; (7) wear
ing a paste legging (described below);
and best of all, (8) having the van
cos vein underlying the ulcer chem
ically obliterated. ,
Unna' paste Is made by slowly
heating and . stirring together S
ounce ot gelatin, S ounces ot zinc
oxide, 10 ounce of glycerin and 10
ounces of water, till a smooth rub
bery mass la obtained. To apply the
paste, first heat it Just enough to
melt It to the consistency of paint,
then- paint the entire leg, ulcer and
aU from nearly the line of the toes
up to upper third of calf, using an
ordinary clean paint bruah. ' Of
couree the ulcer should be bathed
with soap and water and carefully
dried before the paste is painted on.
Upon the first coat of paint apply
a gauze bandage spirally, from base
of toee nearly up to knee. Then ap
ply a second coat ot paint on this
foundation. Then a second bandage.
Finally a third coat of paint, and
after that has dried a little touch
up the Job with a fourth coat, and
you'll have a leg not half bad to
look at. It will stand without hltoh

culation and protects the ulcer, and
should be left undisturbed for a
week, or' better for two or three
week if there is not too much itch
ing or Irritation. When the dressing
is removed you'll be pleased with the
progress made. If not pleased, tell
your friends." If pleased, tell me.

KIRK'S RETURN
fIRK had not wanted to com to-
night. Nelly had pined for Di
vitt' and the new that the place
was altered bad done little to let
sen her desire. She had seamed
stronger of tats. There was really
no reason for not taking her.
Nelly had grieved keenly over
Juanlta's disappearance. Strange
that Juanita had not sent them
even a post card from th plac to
which she had gone. Strang that
th marquesa had not written them
again. But no stranger than that
the marquesa should not have
called Kirk the night Juanita was
taken 111 Instead ot spiriting her
away like that.
Secretly, Nelly believed that the
marquesa had discovered Juanlta's
engagement to Kirk and had taken
this means ot breaking it Th dif
ficulty with this theory was that It
was hard to lmagln any one's tak
ing Juanita away unless she was
111, or willing. Nelly worried con
siderably about It, and about Kirk.
Kirk was so changed.
Indeed, there were Incidents con
nected with Juanlta's visit and de
parture that Kirk had not communi
cated to Nelly. Incidents that puz
zled and troubled him. Her strange
behavior In Ledbetter's presence.
Her relief when Ledbetter had
gone. Her goodby that night Jn
the hall. , , . Sh must have known
she was going. , . , And yet she
might indeed be 111. Very 111. Alone
with the marquesa. And where? . . .
Divltt's place looked pretty much
the same, at tar as Kirk could see.
Fewer people there, and not th
same crowd. But Divitt was In hit
plac behind the wheel and yonder
was the dwart In hi red clothes.
Even the Moon was hack, among
the tables, . offering cigarettes,

Nelly wore her red and gold
dress. No Jewels.' Kirk would not
let her bring them home, but now
that the' thief was caught at the
Cransliaws perhaps she could have
them again. Nelly looked about

wish she would bring me a flower."
Kirk had assisted Nelly to her
chair at the roulette wheel. He
turned, signaling to the Moon.
After a moment the Moon cam,
held out her tray. Nelly's fluttering
hand chose a Cape Jessamine.
"Fin It on me," she said.
The Moon obeyed, her fingers
shaking. Sh wondered It . Kirk
saw. It was agony to be near him
like this. How could he help know
ing her? . . . Sh stayed in the far
end ot the room, not venturing near
the roulette wheel again.
Qabreau came back to her with
excited tidings.
"De old lady win! De old lady
brek de bank!"
Juanita, glancing In that direc
tion, saw Nelly playing Intensely
with flushed cheeks. Saw Kirk beg
ging her to leave. But Nelly would
not leave.
The telephone rang back In Mol
ly's cage. Gabreau stepped In and
answered It.
"It fer Meester Stanard," he told
Juanita, and went to call him.
Juanita moved away with her
I tray, up toward the roulette wheel.
I Kirk passed her, not looking at her,
I going toward th telephone. Jua
nita heard his voice. "Hello! , . .
This is Stanard."
Then something happened at the
roulette wheel. Nelly was sweep
ing In her winnings, laughing. Sud
denly her face grew gray and Hied,
and she droppad quietly from the
high chair to th floor.
"Get backl . . . Get back, every
body!" Divltt's shout
Some one started to open a win
dow, but Divitt stopped him. He
hated things like this. They got In
the papers. ... No open windows
here. -
"Get back!" he ordered again,
gathering up the money Nelly had
let fall, herding th crowd like
sheep.

Onlv Juanita was there now.
kneeling, with Nelly In her rms.
Qabreau had brought water.. Jua
nita bathed the small whit face.
"Call physician," she ald to
Gabreau. "There now. . . . There,
now, Nelly. You'll be all right" ,
Juanita, wa In her room. Nelly
wa gone. Kirk had -carried Nellr
from th parlor to their car. The
physician had come quickly, was
with them. . . Kirk's eyes. . . .
Kirk's eyes, meeting hers. . . .
Where ber veil waa she could
not remember, nor when sh had
snatched It oft. . . . Perhaps when
she had bent over Nelly, thinking .
the was dying. That was all she "
could remember, the thought that
Nelly was dying. . . .
"Call a physician," she had said
to Gabreau.
"Thr, now, Nelly. . . ."
And Nelly bad opened her eyes
that once and said, "Juanita! . . .:
I hear Juanlta's voice. . . . Kirk,
dear. ..."
Kirk was there. Kirk was look
ing at her Juanita. . . . Kirk was
lifting Nelly. Nelly looked like a
baby in Kirk's arms. . . . That was
all she had thought then, meeting
Kirk's eyes. She felt as It he had
always known. . . No, not that
As it he must Inevitably know
some time.
He had spoken. "Juanita. . . ."
Not as Nelly had said It blindly,
gladly but as one who cannot or c
will not believe. . . . And then the
doctor had come, and presently
Kirk lifted Nelly in his arms. Jua
nita met his eyes again. ... -4
It had not mattered then. But 1
now Yet It had to be. Inevitably,
it had to be. Lite moved on a cur
rent, strong, unseen. Human hands
could not stem it Better to move
with It . . .
Music was filtering Into the court
from the TIJon. The Mexican band
. . . La Paloma . . . They had
played La Paloma the night she
had danced with Kirk in the TIJon
patio. . . . Dimly she thought ot this
as she lit the lamp. Dimly she
thought ot what Kirk had said
when she sang it for him once.
"Paloma the piece has wings in it
You too have wings, Juanita. WlU
you fly away some day beyond my
reach?" And then that night at
Tarpon Point, while the rain
streamed around them. . . . "Not
dove's wings maybe, but a stormy
petrel's. , . ."
Beyond his reach! ...
She took oft the chiffon trousers,
the red slippers, knowing It was!
the last time. She dressed herself
In the first dress that came to her
hand, pulled on the small black hat.:
Music filtering into the court
La Paloma, "Wings, Juanita. ..'.),
Maybe a stormy petrel's. . . . Will'
you fly beyond my reach?" ...
They were playing again as she;
passed the parlors, though it was
not an hour since Nelly had fallen'
from the high chair to the floor j
not halt an hour since Kirk had!
carried her like a baby In his arms
. . . Divitt was In his place, raking
in the money with the gestures of
an automaton . . . Gabreau stood
with his back to the door.
Juanita poened the Iron gates,
went out
As she entered Royal street two
automobiles drew to tbe curb in
front ot Divltt's place. Men In uni
forms got out The gates opened
again, and they went in. j
Juanita crossed Royal street;
There was the look ot a sleep!
walker on her face.
It was toward morning that Kirk,
Stanard came back to Divltt's place
and rang the bell. There was a
padlock on th gate, but he rang:
long rings that might have raised
the dead. No answer came, and
presently he remembered a gate
that led from the TIJon patio prob
ably Into this court He had seen
It th night h talked there with;
Juanita. Ha walked quickly around;
to the TIJon, seeing no on as be
went through the lobby except a
boy behind tbe desk a boy who
looked at him with frightened eyes
and asked no questions. 1
The gate had been broken as If
with an axe, and tied again with;
rope. It too was padlocked. Kirk'
undid the ropa and went in. ,
Silence. The silence ot a forgot-j
ten cemetery. The parlor doors
stood open. The lights still burned.
Chairs and tables were overturned.
Kirk made the circuit of the court
opening doors upon empty rooms.
He started up the stair.
Suddenly he heard a sound a
long, bleating cry that came from,
an upper room, echoing through th
court
(Cetyrifkl, DeU, Meed t C.)
Ne wonder Kirk hurries. And
tomorrow his anxloue eearoh loada
him to Beatrli Montega.
