PEACHES AT CONVENTION
When the American Legion

next month Jackson county is
getting a real break in having
space in the lobby of the Ben
son Hotel provided for a Jack
Bon county products display.
There will be many thou
sand Legionnaires from all over
the nation at the convention
it will be an opportunity to ad
vertise southern Oregon which
should be utilized to the fullest
extent.
The Bngley Cannery is send

Ashland wants to send a quan

Peach growers of the Ash

they will be performing a real

A RETURN ON RELIEF

out Jackson and Josephine counties.
the past week. Prom those who had
seen the petition circulators, and the
petitions, It waa learned yesterday
that the algnera were few, and the -e-bukea
many. Suburban service sta
tions where petltlona wera left, altio

Disgust with the scheme waa strong
among both country and city people.

In the dark, but public opinion gener
ally attributed It "to a few disgrunt
led litigants, and revengeful politics."
One local report said that "women
were to blame." but thla waa regard
ed aa a move to "pass the buck."
The Oold Hill News, made an ef
fort to determine the recall aenll
ment In that city, and reported as
follows:
"In an effort to determine the
aentlment locally regarding the
petition which waa circulated
here last week, this paper made a
canvass of Main street Wednesday,
and so far as we were able to
. learn not a single name waa gain

"The two ladlea circulating the
petition asked It they might leave
the petition at Chrla Jorgeneen'a
pool room but were told they
could not. Mr. Jorgeiven also
emphatically refused to sign It.
"The Delta cafe was also re
quested to let the petition be left
there, but declined.
"The News office was not vis

"Beporte from Rogue River die.
trlcl persist In stating that the
petitions are being welt signed
there, however, although nearer
Oranla Pass lest success l being
met with.-
undoubtedly will approve the
action of the relief councils.
The Bulletin also observes
that cheif reliance for work to
be given relief-receivers, must
be upon public projects. Odd
jobs are all right, but they will
not answer the need for labor
at this time, and because they
benefit individuals, they do not
qualify under a program which
calls for meting out supplies
from a public commissary in
return for work done. If the
general public is to pay for the
food, the general public should
reap the benefit of the work
done. ,
Rand and street work offers
the greatest promise of work
for relief beneficiaries. AVe
must look, naturally, for a re
turn from such work, and in
this day of the automobile,
good roads are of great public
benefit. As supplementary to
this work, however, we believe
there are other projects to
which, relief could be justly
applied.
There are sidewalks along
some of the best streets in the
city which are so crowded at
this time with high weeds that
it is almost impossible to walk
along them. There are vacant
lots covered with deep grass
that constitutes a serious fire
hazard. There are disreputable
old buildings that ought, to
come down. There are, in the
country, growths of noxious
weeds thut are dangerous to
our agriculture. There are.
along our country roads, piles
or tin cans and rubbish that
have been dumped there by the
thoughtless and careless in
seasons past.
These observations are mere
ly suggestive. There are many
other projects of this type.
Under the consolidated relief
movement, arrangements
should be possible whereby
such work, whether it be in
city or country, could be ac
complished in return for sup-
plies from the public pantry.
there should be no wavering,
on the part of our relief
authorities, in their determina
tion to stand on this important
principle during the coming
fall and winter. We believe
they can rest assured that re
sponsible public opinion is
strongly back of them. Klam

It amused him to tell how

EVERYBODY SHOULD
Th time to be afraid of cancer la
before you get cancer.
A certain amount of cancer phobia
la a good thing
for everybody.
Once a reader
aaw aomethlng in
this column that
made him fear
he had cancer. In
great perturba
tion he hurried
to hi physician.
The doctor made
an examination
and found there
was no cancer.
only a neglected case of hemorrhoids.
The docter cured the hemorrhoids
with Injection treatment. The patient
happened to be in a position to pun
ish me and did take revenge on me
for having scared blm so. But I don't
care a boot If I did scare him it
brought about a cure of his trouble,
which, If not cured, might eventually
develop Into cancer. I'd aa soon acare
every fool In the country who toler
atea chronic hemmorrhold If I could
make most of them seek proper treat
ment. Cancer begins as a apot where the
normal cell are changed by injury
or prolonged Irritation to abnormal
cella and by abnormal growth the
abnormal cell become cancer. In the
early stage thla 1 all a localized con
dition. If the individual affected la
fortunate enough to take alarm and
go to the physician for examination
and advice at the first sign of such
a spot or lump, the chance of cure la
excellent. If the Individual falls to
be alarmed or chooses to Ignore the
little abnormality or Just wait and
hopes It is nothing sei.ous, the chance
of cure diminishes day by day.
There Is a movement at present to
teach .the public that every woman
should have a health examination
twice a year, including pelvic exam
ination, aa a protection against can
cer. I think this Is a silly Idsa. But
every woman who notices anything
unusual or who believes there la any
thing the matter with her, ahould
have such exsmlnatlon and be guided
by her physician's advice instead of
Juat worrying about It or monkeying
with some alleged treatment or rem
edy for "female complaint." A woman
should report to her physician par
ticularly any unusual bleeding, or
other symptom or sign of whose sig
nificance she Is in doubt.
The skilled application of X-rays
and surgery la the best treatment for
any form of cancer today. In some
cases radium may be preferable te
X-ray. In any case, eurgery la safer,
less painful and leas mutilating In
effect than any salve, paste or "sol
vent" that can be used by a char
latan, t
Women who become sufficiently
alarmed at the discovery of a little
lump In the breaat to go at once to
the physician for examination learn
fruit belonged to any monkey that
could get them first, and the monkey
ladlea belonged to the monkeys that
could get THEM first.
The real novelty It marriage, only
a few thouaand yeara ago, and a won
derful training school tor men, not
yet good enough for it.
Vice President J. J. Ryan, of the
Tll.;rn National Bank of Tllden, Ne

it we had shipped them five hundred
silver dollar, and no matter bow
thin they had been worn, or five
hundred dollars In old worn out cur
rency, we would have received full
credit of tSOO.00.
WHY THE FUSS ABOUT GOLD?"
It la certain that the government 'a
promise to pay under ordinary condi
tions I better than a piece of gold,
tor there Is no "abrasion" about the
governments promise. High finance
can answer Mr. Ryan's question.

To th Editor:
I deferred answering your Interest
ing editorial of August 16th to give
myself time to look up this man who
haa made such a wonderful success
In farming. Aftr an Investigation of
your friend and hla man "Carl," I
find that some year ago your friend
took over a pump business, and along
about that time secured a ranch,
more or leas aa a hobby. The ranch
waa run by "Carl," with instructions
to speed up land production, and pay
a living wag so that the standard of
the working men could be kept up.
In other worda, the ranch expenses
were made In keeping with the pump
business.
Your friend bought a Guernsey cow
for a 1000 from one of th director
of th Irrigation company, where he
sold an expensive pump outfit. Bird
house were erected on the ranch to
aupply birds for hunting. An old
Packard car waa sent down to "Carl"
which your friend bought and used
a an alibi to his wife for buying a
new car, aaylng that "Carl" needed
a car at the ranch,
"Carl's" wife had kept the home so
nice and attractive, flowers were
ptantd, and the aurroundlngs made
so beautiful that when the deprei
alon hit the pump business your
friend's family was delighted to move
on to th ranch and Into "Carl'a"
houee.
Your friend of course Junked the
Packard car, sold the two-testd
Guernsey cow to the butcher, and
turned the bird houee into a chicken
house.
The steers your friend mentions
that they ar selling at four and
one-half cent were bought from
"Carl" at th highest market price,
and when they were weighed in
"Carl" got the same amount of mon
ey back that he had paid for the
steers when they were calves, aome
two year before. "Carl" did not feel
bad however, aa he had the use of the
tteera.
After Investigating your friend, I
believe that th pump business suc
cess waa due to the alibi ranch, aa
all successful men own one of these
ranches. Arthur Brisbane, Will Rodg
era, J. c. Penney, all have alibi ranch
ea. Imagine J. C Penhey coming to
Medford and having his plcturs taken
In front of the J. C Penney store with
Bill Bolger and Ted Baker In bath
ing suits, sending this picture out to
the press tor pubUcatlonl No sires,
you cant fool an editor, but If BIU
had an alibi ranch and a boy w!Ui a
calf raised through the Cslf Club,
Mr. Penney would have the windows
tilled full of bathing aulta and a pic
ture of the calf, the boy and him
self, and It would be published In
every psper In this country.
What thla valley needs more thun
anything else are more altbt ranchee.
For Instance, if BUI Oata had had
an alibi ranch thla aummer he could
have entered any one of the Jack
son county farmers in the Olympiad
at Loa Angeles, aa they art til train
ed for apeed and endurance, and
think of the publicity BUI would re
ceive with hla tomato Juice!
Now for the subscription I find
your friend slipping a be y he
want to go back to the pump oust

PARALYSIS DEATH
TAKING HORSES IN
VALLEYPASTU RES
Leaving a wake of stricken mules
and horses, a devastating epidemic
of the California brain disease, scien
tifically known as Encephalomyelitis,
haa awept north from California and
is now reported aa over the whole of
Oregon.
The disease, which Is a kind or
paralysis, has caused great concern
among horse and mule owners of the
two states, and although the Rogue
river valley has escaped with a com-
parttlvely light touch of the epidemic,
a considerable loss has resulted.
The symptoms, according to Dr.
O. A. Oltzen. local veterinarian, are
sleepiness or an Inclination to walk
continually, which inevitably term
inate In paralysis. He stated that a
grinding of the teeth Is also a sign
of the approaching malady. Although
no absolute preventative had been
known up until ten days ago, the local
veterinarian has developed an original
Jugular Injection which seems to be a
satisfactory cure, as only two deaths
have been reported since Its use,
while only three out of ten cases
were saved prior to Its discovery.
Horse and mule owners have been
warned to keep a close watch over
their animals, and any peculiar ac
tions should be reported at once, as
Immediate treatments seem to get
satisfactory results. Dr. Gt teen's in
jection Is being adopted through the
entire state as the best remedy, and
Dr. Lytle, state veterinarian, is ex
pected to arrive here Monday to In
vestigate the new cure.
Although there have been aa many
aa 30 or 40 cases a day in some parts
of California, a satisfactory control
of the disease seems to have been es
tablished In the Medford area.
Jenkins' Comment
(Continued tram Page One )
to look on at human misery, tor
plainly these walkers are having any
thing but a good time?
Maybe they do It for the aame rea
son that the eld nigger, of the famous
story, butted his head against the
atone wall because It feels so good
when you quit.
Anyway, the walkathon Is getting
the crowd, here In the midst of the
greatest depression In recent history,
when people are supposed to hsv
Just simply no money at all for even
the most elemental needs. Two thou
sand spectators were preeent one
night.
Explain It If you can, or Juat paaa
It up with th statement that It takee
all kinds of people to make a world.
