TO PROTECT VOTE Registration continues brisk at the county clerk's office, and to date, there has been an increase in the number of Democrats, chiefly from the country districts.

E. church Sunday morn ing. Rev, A. G. Bennett made a pas toral statement concerning the 11 nanclal difficulties with the bond ing company In St. Louis, which culminated in the court proceedings for foreclosure and the sate of the property by the sheriff last week. Dr. Bennett expressed deep con cern as to the Impressions the peo ple of Medford generally are getting In these matters, and his desire tnat all might understand the altuation and how It has developed. "The story" said Dr. Bennett, begins about seven years ago, not long after the beautiful new edifice was built and dedicated. In 1938 the church obtained a loan of 35,000 from the Mercantile Commerce Bank and Trust Co., of St. Louis. The loan to run for 10 yeara at 8 per cent Interest, payable semi-annually. In June and Decern ber. Also ftlSOO was to be paid on principal annually In June. For 5 yeara, up to June, ihju. all interest and principal payments were made In full, and the principal Indebtedness was reduced to S29.0OO. However, In June. 1930, there was a delinquency of $1000 In principal payment, though the Interest pay ment of 870 was made, and 500 paid on principal. 'Immediately the Loan Co. began threatening to foreclose unless the 1000 was paid at once. The church began correspondence and appeal for help to the Methodist Board or Home Missions In Philadelphia. An official of the board, at the pastor's urgent Tequest, visited Medford. counselled with the church officials and made recommendations which the church carried through. Later the chief official of the Home Mission Board visited Med ford and proposed and agreed that If the Medford Methodists would raise S3000 cash by May 15, the Mis sion Board would advance $7000 at certain low rates of Interest; and further condition was that this $7000 was to be applied solely on the principal Indebtedness, and also that the $3000 raised locally was to be applied solely on principal; also that any delinquency In Interest was to be paid to date of receiving the $7000. "During the period of this corres pondence and these negotiations an Interest payment of about $860 feU due December, 1930, and was not paid. "In May. 1931, the local church had raised among the people the $3000 and was ready to qualify for the $7000 from the Home Mission Board. The raising of the $3000 was marked by sacrificial giving on the part of the people, some ot whom went Into debt personally to do so. This $3000 marked the ex treme limit of the people a ability to give In these distressful times. Then In June, the Medford church officials wrote the loan company, advising them that the $3000 was raised, and the $7000 from the Board of Home Missions was expected, but that theec two amounts, totaling $10,000, could be applied only on the principal Indebtedness. "There was also the delinquent half year's Interest payment of De cember, and another half year's in terest coming due immediately on June IS. but with only sufficient funds on hand for one of these pay ments. This meant that If the De cember delinquent Interest were paid with this money, but not the June Interest, the June delinquency would place the church again at once In danger of foreclosure after the December payment and the $10,000 on principal were sent to St. Louis. The church would not be saved from foreclosure proceed ings. though the loan company would be the richer by nearly $11 000. "The Medford officials stated to the loan company that they would promptly qualify for the $7000 toward payment of $10,000 on prin cipal, provided the loan company would write off the delinquent half year's Interest, and thua make the church safe from foreclosure. "Also the local officials asked the loan company to waive a 3 per cent premium required on whatever amounts the church offered principal payments In advance of dates due. Payment of the $10,000 on principal would pay In advance all principal payments due before the year 1936. ThU 3 per cent amounted to nearly $300. "The church received no direct reply from the loan company, but did receive a copy of a letter from the company to Bishop Lowe, in which they rejected the offer and took the church to task for making it. "Some three weeks after the propo sition was sent from Medford to St, Louis, the Medford officials, after canvassing the wholo situation, con cluded to withdraw It. "The local board has been at I loss to understand the action ot the loan company. At no time has the company asked what the local hurch could do, or apparently even tried to find out; and this In spite ot the depressing conditions prevail ing everywhere. They have simply told the Medford church officials what was owed and Insisted on prompt payment, or foreclosure would follow. The church is yet hopeful that some arrangement can be made with the loan company whereby the prop erty can be transferred back, even though a considerable cash payment be required. With the $3000 raised last May and the $7000 help from the Home Missions Board for final settlement, Burely some way out can be found. "We Methodists." said Dr. Bennett, are eager to save the property and to carry on the work whicn was begun In Medford more than 4ft years ago. The church has not been laying down on the Job, nor desir ous to let things go by default, nor to repudiate Its Just financial obli gations. In order to maintain the church as a 'going concern' and meet Its running expenses promptly, very sharp cuts have been made In Its budget and In pastoral support. A spirit of unity has prevailed in Its official board, and all organisa tions have been faithfully carrying on their work. In spit of the em barrassment and handicap, due to the financial difficulty with the St. Louis loan company, and the facing of the foreclosure proceedings which culminated March 31. The pastor Is deeply gratified with the sympathy and hospitality ex tended by other Medford churches. and feels confident of the fraternal, prayerful and co-operative Interest of all the congregations of Christ Inn people while the Methodists are wrestling with their problem."

Dollars Make Dollars When Put to Useful Work THE idle dollar does no one any good. Hoarded, it lies in the strong box, gathering dust. It is worthless. It docs not even earn its keep. Instead of bringing its owner an income, it actually costs money to keep it safe . . . and the man who hides it away in a secret place lives always in fear that someone else will get there first. Tt was not hoarded money that built industrial and agricultural America. Dollars that were earned by honest toil built the great plants that make steel, flour, shoes, clothing the things people need and use. Honestly earned dol lars, honestly invested, grow wheat', live stock, horticultural arid dairy pro ducts. The invested dollars of more than 6,500 preferred shareholders of The Cali fornia Oregon Power Company helped to build the plants that supply neces sities to 60 cities and towns of the Pacific Northwest. They built hundreds of miles of transmission and distribution lines. They are doing useful work, all day every day throughout the year . . . and will continue to do useful work, and earn their keep, while hoarded money loafs. The opportunity to earn a return on investment is better today than for years. Banks pay interest on deposits regularly. Sound securities earn, and pay, a regular, safe income. The preferred shares of The California Oregon Power Company have paid dividends regularly since April 15, 1921. The 42nd consecutive quarterly dividend on these shares was paid January 15, 1932. Present Price $36 Per Share, to yield approximately 7 on the investment. We will be glad to supply you with easy-to-understand facts about our 6 per "cut preferred shares.
