INSIST ON WAGE
FOR REED HUNT
"Naturally the boys of Company C
were stirred up by the wrlteup In the
Dally Courier Friday, taken from a
Medford paper," said Capt. John R.
White. "The whole controversy re
solves Itself down to the fact that
after the men had been on almost
continuous duty for 34 .hours on the
man-hunt I informed Sheriff Jen
nings that unless the men were to
get paid for their services I would
call them off, but would give the
sheriff an opportunity to replace
them.
"Mr. Jennings said he could not
personally guarantee the pay but felt
sure that Jackson county would pay
the bill and requested that the men
be kept on duty. On the 1st day of
December a bill was rendered and the
Deals of pav was figured on the rate
of armory drill pay of the govern
ment, which was satisfactory to all
these men.
"Jackson county did at the De
cember meeting of the county board
pay a $62.30 bill for mileage and 976
for meals but paid no attention to
the Item of 146.56 for services of the
men.
"I planned to keep 20 men on the
Knott slayer hunt. It was cold, dls
agreable work, and 14 of the
boys worked the three and one-half
days not averaging more than four
hours sleep in 24 hours. We did not
make the bill aa high as we were al
lowed by Josephine county, and
Jackson county has no legitimate
kick on the size of the bill. It Is a
Just bill and the hoys are entitled to
their money." Grants Pass Courier.

CIGARETTE smokers owe a lot to Turkish tobacco, for It '
was cigarettes made out of Turkish tobacco that first be
came the vogue in this country.
Then it was found that a blend of Turkish and Domestic
tobaccos was better than either kind of tobacco straight. It
takes just the right amount of the right kind of Turkish to
baceo to give a cigarette better taste. For Turkish tobacco is
to cigarettes what seasoning is to food the spice the sauce.
You want enough but not too much.
There is just enough Turkish in CHESTERFIELDS to give
them a better flavor, a more pleasing aroma; to make them
taste better.
Turkish tobacco must par an import duty of 3Se pound;
