RATTLE 10 KEEP Since the meeting of truck and mill men held at the Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday night, local operators have been engaged In securing signers to petitions to the state highway commission, urg ing retention of present load limits in this section of the state. In order, they claim, that local lumber manu facturing plants may continue to operate during the remainder of the summer. George Brewer, president of the Jackson-Josephine unit of the Ore gon Mill and Truck Operators as sociation, stated last night that the response to the petitions by the business men of Medford has been most gratifying, over 500 signatures to the petitions having been already secured. Mr. Brewer urged that everyone sign the petition, copies of which are available at the Cham ber of Commerce. The date for the hearing before the State Highway commission has been set for Friday, July 1, at 1:30 p. m., according to word received yesterday morning from F. C. Wal ters, Eugene, president of the Oregon Mill and Truck Operators associa tion. It Is probable that local repre sentation at this hearing will con sist of Floyd Hart, George Brewer, and possibly an additional repre sentation by the local Chamber of Commerce, Other communities in southern Oregon have been solicited by the Medford ' amber to co-operate in this movement to prevent the antici pated closing of the local lumber plants, and Grants Pass and Ash land are also being canvassed with the. petition to the highway com mission. It has been pointed out by local truck operators, particularly those engaged In hauling logs to lumber mills, that they are most desirous of co-operating with the highway commission in observing the load and speed regulations, and are anxious to do everything within their power to see that highways are not destroyed by overloaded trucks. Their only plea is for a "reasonable regulation which will not only protect the highways from breaking down, but which will per mit the transportation of logs and piling over the highway systems of the state." Dance Carnival At Hot Springs Is Holiday Plan A dance carnival for three nights July 2, 3, and 4, at the Jackson Hot Springs is the announcement made by Dom Provost for the celebra tion of Independenceday.

All the boys 'are in good spirits and feel that the day for returning home is approaching all too fast. One of the high lights of fun for the boys comes early each morning. During the dally setting up exercises, there is a certain co-ordination exer cise which ' requires simultaneous swinging of arms and legs In a side movement from the body The sol dier is obliged to Jump and throw his legs about 18 Inches In each di rection. One of the boys, Darold (Doc) Garman, is stiff legged and his ef forts to do this exercise cause shouts of hilarious amusement from his companions. We now call the exercise the Ger man special and It is looked forward to each morning. "Doc" Is good na tured about his failure to perform this exercise and gets as big a kick out of it as anyone. Week-End Interests The coming week end is filled with events of Interest to visitors as well as guardsmen. Friday there Is the annual field meet In which the dif ferent regiments vie with one another for honors. There are some regular track events but the main part is the performing of regular training duties In competition, such as tent pitching, manual of arms, saddling and running of horses, setting up of field telephone sets and many oth ers. Last year the meet was won by the 186th Infantry, of which this unit 'to a part, by a very small margin.

These are all wooden buildings painted white with green composition roofs. A blue and white sign is near the first tent of each company telling what unit It is and what city It is from. Visitors should have little dif ficulty in finding the location of this company. Friday night after dark there was a big machine gun demonstration in which tracer bullets flew thick and fast. j Cook Routs Ruddles I Private first class Mark N.

Grlgby Subdues Sabre Persona who stood near the newly appointed 2nd Lieutenant James W. Grlgsby the first few days did so at their peril. Lt. Grlgsby's brand new sabre had a way of traveling to the most unexpected places. The sabre is now under perfect control, so the members of the company now con alder themselves safe. Both National Guard units of Med ford participated in the war prob lem held at Camp Clatsop Wednes day. - Just Like Battle The problem was a "battle" be tween the two regiments stationed at Clatsop. After marching several miles during the early morning hours the 180th regiment, whose job lt was to repel the attack of the 162nd, began to near the enemy. The advance was slow, taking up nearly the whole forenoon, but when the opposing forces met things began to pick up. Machine gun and rifle fir. soon rout ed the 162nd.

Da v lea of Spokane, re gional director of the Federal Crop Production Loan association of the northwest district, was in Medford Saturday, in company with Cleorg Hilton, field Inspector. They were looking over thla section of the state and visiting some of the farms on which loans wero made. Mr. Dnvlcs says there was 75 mil lion dollnrs lonned to 600,000 farmers all over the United States by the association, the average loan being $140 and the maximum fixed by law was 40C. Mr. Davles says this assistance in purchasing seed and f ert llizer and other expenses, not Including labor, for crop production, has en abled hundreds of families to remain on the farms and win produce crops that otherwise would have been listed with the unemployed and would have been forced to move to the cities. He also states that In the district he represent the old Oregon terri tory, comprising Oregon, Washing ton, northern Idaho and weatern Montana the amount borrowed by the people of the district Is very small in comparison to other sec tions of the United States, thero being $1,000,000 loaned to 6000 farmers. A surprising statement of Mr. Da vies', owing to the talk about so much of the millions of dollars loaned by the reconstruction flnano corporation going to big business, was "t0 per cent of all the money loaned by the corporation has gone into communities of less than 10,000 people." STAGE DRIVER IS GIVEN JAIL TERM Lewis Doolittle, warned Monday by state, police officers that he could not conduct a "wildcat stage" through here, was arrested Friday evening by state police officers, and sentenced to five days In the county Jail vestcrday by Justice Cllenn O.
