DUE TO SHORTAGE
LAST YEAR'S CROP
Due to a shortage in the onion
crop of last teaion, dry onions have
steadily risen In price for some time
past, until reaching a climax in price
last week, to exceed anything ever
heard of by local dealers.
In fact the lowly onion la the high
est priced vegetable on the market.
and coat the consumer more than
oranges. MedXord housewives were
astonished some time ago by the rap
Idly mounting prices, onions reaching
a retail price some days ago of 10
cents a pound at some stores, with
possibly a little more at others.
It seems all the more perplexing
because green onions are so plentiful
and so cheap.
But so many housewives through
out the nation revolted and refused
to pay 10 cents a pound, or two
pounds for 19 cents for dry onions,
that a halt was put to further In
creases being tacked on. In accord
ance with the Wholesale price which
had reached 99 a hundred pounds.
This revolt. It la said, also drew &
small cut In the wholesale price.
The nation-wide shortage in dry
onions, except In Oregon. Is mainly
due to the fact that the crops In
onion raising sections of the west,
east and south fell off last year. Ore
gon onion growers have reaped a
financial harvest because of this situ
ation Oregon onions going to other
parts of the nation and it is said
that only a few carloads are left In
the hands of the Oregon growers.
COUNTY IS REPORT

Jackson county at present, accord
ing to a report filed today by Vic
tor Tengwald, secretary to the county

tising campaign on an ambitious
scale, according to word received by
The Mail Tribune from Thurston G.
McOufflck of San Francisco, a mem
ber of the well-known McCann-Erlck-son
advertising organization. This
campaign will have far-reaching eco
nomic effect upon Pacific coast
business and Indirectly the Standard
Oil company's promotional plans will
help to create employment from the
oil well and refinery to the dealer's
pump block.
"Faster turnover of products and
cash, assured through the carefully
prepared and effective advertising
effort of the Standard Oil company
will stimulate a hundred businesses
production, transportation, bank
ing and scores of other activities,"
Mr. McGufflck said. "The advertis
ing campaign will not only further
the Interests of the Standard OH
company, but countless other com
mercial endeavors as well."
The Standard Oil company of Call
fornla has been a large and con
sistent user of newspaper advertising
space. The launching of a special
campaign this month reflect both
courage and intelligence on the part
of those who control the destinies
of the great Standard organization.
A policy of featuring useful product
of high quality, soundly advertised
and aggressively sold has built a
tremendous business, on an interna
tional scale, for the Standard Oil
company.

those politicians who quote the views
of Washington miernatlonal affairs
of hla day for guidance of the na
tion's policy in matters involving
present day problems, stating that

a man who did not change his opin

ferent outlook as the trend and re
lationships of the times changed.
Bon?o is happy again! Twisting
his tail and wiggling his ears, he ex
pressed his farewell to grief this
morning, through a series of husky ,
barks, when Mr. rind Mrs, T. J.
O'Hara of Vancouver. Wash., arrived,
at the Humane society shelter. It
Isn't home, but It had all the ear
marks for Bonzo this morning, and
stretching every wrinkle In hts fat,
white, bulldog body, he admitted It.
Bonzo came to Ashland several
weeks ago with hts master and mis
tress to visit. During an afternoon
picnic soon after he decided his own
era had returned north without him,
not waiting for the evening to bring
their return he tome to the highway.
A motorist found him a short time
later north of the Klrtland farms.
In the meantime the search was
on at Ashland. Day after day Mr.
and Mrs. O'Hara and their friends In
quired about the Llthla city for
Bonzo. No news of his whereabouts
came to them. Hope of finding him
began to wane and was practically
abandoned until this n turning when
the little boy at the house arose to
declare "Bonzo la found in a big tree,
sleeping with a bear."- It wasn't Just
an April fool Joae, ne dreamed it last
night.
The discussion, which followed, re
newed interest In the campaign to
locate the dog. then someone men
tioned that the Humane society at
Medford had never been questioned.
The O'Haras left Immediately for the
shelter, north of this city.
And there they found Bonzo, ready
to do all his tricks In celebration of
the contemplated homecoming.

ing with all their might, conquered
the barrier.
