Hutchison, local observer, show that In 22 years of record for Medford there has been but one July during which dally temperatures averaged lover than those for July, 1032. The month was exceptionally cool, but without un usually low minimum temperatures. Dally maximum temperatures, how ever, averaged well below past year's records. In July, 1016, weather of similar character, with respect to tempersture, prevailed with an aver, age monthly temperature of 07.6 de- greea which Is only slightly lower than the average for July, 1932 with 68.2 degrees. The persistence of unseasonsbly cool weather throughout the month was due, for the most part, to the predominance of an extensive high pressure area covering the greater portion of the northeast Pacific ocean. Cool northwesterly winds, blowing from the northern portion of the high pressure area over the Pacific northwest, held temperatures conslstsntly below normal during the month. Also, under the Influence of this pressure condition cloudi ness wss at a minimum during July. Precipitation totaled far below normal. Measurable rainfall occurred only on the 9th when a very light rain totaled 0.04 inches. Light rains also fell on the 10th, 13th and 30th but the amounta were too small to be mensurable. Comparing the total of 0.04 Inches for July with the normal a doflo't-ncy of 0.38 Inches Is shown. However, this shortage 'effects the seasonal excess but slightly. Seasonal precipitation re mains well above normal, showing a totnl of 22.32 Inches as against the normal of 17.00 Inches, The prevalence of northwesterly winds during the month Is shown by the fact that dally prevailing di rections for 20 days were recorded from northwest. Monthly wind move ment was greatly In excess of pre vious July records, showing a total of 6228 miles' and resulting In a rather high average monthly velocity of 7 miles per hour. This unusually high average velocity Is particularly Interesting because of the absence of winds of high velocities during July and a fairly even distribution of Increased winds throughout the month.

SIMPLE METHOD Another recipe to do used by local housewives In preparing for the coming winter In an Inexpensive manner waa submitted yesterday by Mrs. H. D. McCaskoy for publication, It la the Pennsylvania Dutch way of drying corn, has been tried In the McCaskcy household for many years and Is recommended by Mrs. Mc- Caskey as a delicious, aa well economical food for any season. The corn Is first cooked on the cob, as If for table consumption. When cool, the corn Is removed and placed on flats on an oven or In the sun to dry. When It Is thoroughly dry (and Mrs. McCaskey warns those who try the recipe to be sure that It Is dry) It la placed In sacks, such salt or flour sacks (not paper bags) . It should then be hung up ana kept hanging until used. An occa sional thump at the bag to shake up the contents la also advised. Many people dry corn heio witnout cooking It first, Mrs. McCaskey said yesterday, but the cooking process la advised as It retains much of the milk, a valuable Ingredient, which la lost under the other method of drying. Corn la now tn season and can be obtained at a low price. kil-W LUNCH CAR FOR ESPEE TRAINS With Wie change In the Southern Paclflo passenger train schedule ef fective today an all-day lunch car will be operated on trains 320 and 330 between Portland and Ashland.

OF JACKSONVILLE Reading the numerous at or lei. aimed to lure the great wide world to Chicago next year for the one hundredth anniversary celebration of the city, Attorney Gus Newbury yes terday afternoon called a halt In legal' proceedings to bring to mind a story of early days in the great metropolis, as it was recalled many years ago at the Table Rook saloon at Jacksonville, by A. M. Berry, pio neer. "Gus" pitched hay for Mr. Berry when he was 14 years old and re calls the story, he stated yesterday, as vividly as the hottest spot In the 500-acre field. Mr. Berry came Into Chicago In 1837 or 1838, and being a carpenter, Mr. Newbury stated, assisted In the construction of some of the first buildings put up In that city, long before prohibition and gangs were known to the populace. 'While engaged In his trade In 1841, like the Chicago school teachers of 1931, he failed to collect his wages. So did the group of carpenters with whom he was working. Mr. Berry was elected as spokesman for the group to take the necessary meas ures to bring in the cash. He placed the claims In the hands of an attorney who brought In the money. In the 60s Mr. Berry removed to Oregon and with other members of the gold rush clan settled In the roaring town of Jacksonville. Ten years later, when crossing the streets of the town, he was stopped where the Table Rock saloon now stands by a distinguished looking gentle man, who asked if he had ever lived in Chicago. Mr. Berry admitted that he had. The newcomer was the attorney, who collected the carpenters' wages E. D. Baker. He was elected that same year aa one of the United States senators from Oregon. While a senator he raised a regiment of soldiers from the Pacific coast and drilled them near the capltol grounds in Washington. He was killed lead In j? the same regiment at the battle of Ball's Bluff. Hot In Klamath.
