When this firm was organized two
years ago It handled fuel and did
fruit hauling. The first of this year
Mr. Samson added a complete line

this vicinity high grade products for
their stock and poultry.
Mr. Samson Is particularly well

Plans for the annua! Community
Chest campaign, to be held in this
city the first week of November
will be outlined this evening at
the Hotel Medford, when directors of
all Institutions! members of the
chest will meet for 6:30 dinner.
J. O. Thompson, chairman of the
campaign, urges all representatives
to be present and participate In the
arrangements for the annual drive,
which It la hoped will go over with
100 per cent results.
The need for money for relief
purposes will be greater In Medford
this winter than during any pre
vious years, according to present In
dications. Several organizations In
cluded In the chest have accepted
lower budgets In order to turn more
money Into relief channels. The Hu
mane society has withdrawn for the
year to aid In this conversion. In
the belief that some people have
used the inclusion of the Humane
society as reason for refusing to
make contributions to the chest.
