The old time bandits took the

band. When they went into a
' town they were allowed to call
out the fire department, the city
council, the women's clubs and
the Christian Endeavor and have
a procession. The Jameses and
the Youngers cracked up trains
and held up first class banks.
But these puny, mangey, pop

The legislature has before It, or did
have, a parl-mutuel betting bill. The
measure would legalise betting on
liorse races the which used to knock
all gayety out of the county fatra.
The law, however, prohlblto betting
on Sunday. The poor fish who does
the betting, therefore, would only
have six days per week In which to
go broke, and deprive himself and
family, If any, of necessities. Further
more, there are plenty of ways for a
cittsen to bankrupt himself without
race track gambling. If the bettor
was the only sufferer from his folly
It would not be so bad. In six weeks
of parl-mutuel betting, many would
be as mad at the horses, as they are
at themselves and Hoover, and all the
American Institutions, that have
stood the test of time.
BANNING, Calif., Feb. 12j-Here in an attractive trmn of
3000 people, on a plateau 2400 feet above the sea, overlooking
tbe California desert, which baa at least three good hotels and
not a single picture show.
They did have a moving picture theatre they still have it,
as a matter of fact, but it is marked closed. The moving picture
theatre at Beaumont, a place somewhat smaller than Banning.
six or seven miles west, is also closed.
So if one wishes to see a. movie, after dinner, one must
motor either to Palm Springs, 20 miles east, or Riverside, 20
miles west. Such is a depression I
The three hotels, however, are all open and the one we are
in at least is doing a good business. It is called the Banning
hotel, and is owned and operated by a Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth
The former's father is here, Frank O. Woodworth of Great
Falls, Montana, who wishes to be remembered to his old Masonic
friend, Dr. Sweeney of Medford, and all the other Sweeneys.
Mr. Woodworth, Sr., is one of those men who looks and acts
about 50, and is probably not far from 70. Incidentally he is
a great booster for Medford and Southern Oregon thinks it
the most attractive section of the entire' Pacifio coast.
There was considerable excitement in Banning last night,
In the first place the new Ford was placed on exhibition (th
V-8), with a very ritzy nickel-plated shirt front, and a Biltmore
coupe body we decided the people who would have gone to
the movies, had there been any, spent their Saturday evening
looking at the new Ford instead.
Then about nine p. m. the fire siren went off and blew so
loud and long that everyone in the place rushed out of doors
to see where the five-alarm fire was. To editor joined the
throng, but failing to see any sign of a blaze or red reflections
in the sky, inquired of his nearest neighbor what the excitement
was all about. .
"A call for the Legion" said he.
"Call for the Legion, what are they calling out the Legion
fort" -
"I don't know that's what I am trying to find out."
Apparently that was what everyone else was trying to find
out.
So we walked into the nearest drug store and inquired
(did you ever notice that drug stores are even better places to
secure acourate information than newspapers).
Sure, the drug store man knew all about it. That was the
Legion call all right, but instead of being a call to put out a
fire, it was to hunt for two Banning boys who had gone to Palm
Canyon, near Palm Springs, and had not returned.
"Oh, yea" he added, "the American Legion is very active
here. We only have a volunteer fire department and they are
all Legion boys. The Legion boys are emergency policemen
too. Most of the social things are run by the Legion auxiliary,
in fact the Legion just about runs the whole town. And they
do a good job of it, too. They'll motor down to Palm canyon
and get those kids -you see if they don't."
But they didn't. For about half a minute later the two kids
arrived home O. K., the anxious parents gave out the word,
and the boy hunt was oalled off.
The principal products raised here are fruits and nuts,'
pears, prunes, peaches, almonds, walnuts, etc., etc. Too high
and cold for citrus fruits. In January they had nearly a foot
of snow here, and the mountains that rise above the table land
thousands of feet, are still covered with snow nearly half way
down.
We did our beBt to motor up to the top of one of the peaks
when we came down from Pasadena, if we hadn't run bang
into a large highly illuminated hotel oalled Oilman Hot Springs,
we would undoubtedly have done it. Didn't reach Badlands
until after dark, and then somewhere, took the wrong turn,
and altho things didn't look familiar and the uphill climb
seemed peouliar, the present writer lias a deep seated aversion
to turning back once his oar has started in a certain direction.
However, as above stated, the old ship Sedan finally ran direct
ly through a gate and in front of a large electric siga which
convinced the ENTIRE party that there was nothing to do
but find where we were and turn back.

tion devoted to furthering the Inter
este of the party ot Jackson, Jeffer
son, Cleveland, Wilson, Moss Bark

compliment, but everybody knows

Folk shout, and cheer, and swear.

But doesn't muss a hair.
The) tumult and the turmoil,
The fussing and the row,
Leaves every one too busy
To get behind a plow.
(-First poem since the war.) 1
Yes, it's a bit nippy here but the sun shines all day, and
the air is like wine. A few days before our arrival, water froze
in the streets, and down at Palm Springs where most of the
pires run on the top of the sand, they had to thaw out faucets
before they could get their morning "bawth" or drink or
whatever it is they do first down there. Needless to say this is
all very unusual."
Speaking of water, what do you think they have to pay
for irrigation on Claude Cate's avoeado tract, which was men
tioned in our lastt $45 an acre ANNUALLY if a man has a
ten aore tract, he must pay $450 for his water before he starts
to piok his fruit. But that isn't half of it. All the water is
distributed in pipes and released from faucets, some of the
orchardista have even Installed overhead sprinkling systems
Figure out the. cost of that, even at depression figures. And
yet we have Cate's word for it, that they can make excellent
profit, at an average of ten cents per pound, eaoh year. The
trouble with avocados is they are very temperamental. They
may bear heavily this year for example and next year they may
not bear at all. An average crop every other year is regarded
as satisfactoy. So you see there is a fly in every ointment.
We asked Claude about lemons the report that lemon
growers are all on easy street.
"Well," said Claude, "I bought a lemon orchard but had to
give it up because I couldn't make it pay. There is nothing
that can equal a good lemon orchard under present conditions,
but I happened to get a poor one. A good one must have just
the right soil and the right clirrmtio conditions, which will make
it bear well in the summer months. In the winter lemons are
more or less a drug on the market, you can buy them for ten
cents a dor.cn retail now. But in the summer, the demand is at
the MAXIMUM and the supply at the MINIMUM, which makes
everything perfect.
A few years ago the year Dempsoy and Tunncy fought in
Chicago, a box of lemons from here sold for $27 in Chicago,
that was the price to the groweftn the auction market. So' if
you have a summer-bearing lemon orchard you ARE on "easv
street, ' even during a dcr-cssion if you haven't you are just
Biiother poor devil trying to nuike both ends moot.
"See that lemon orchard there, that's ou of the priie
orohards in this distriot. Believe it or not the owner wouldn't
sell it for less than $6000 an acre, it will pay ten percent net
at tnat figure. He has made as high as $1500 an acre net.
All of which reminded us of the old days in Medford when
Mose Barkdull sold orchard land on the desert, stressing the
fact that the more rocks on the surface, the more heat there
would be in the soil, and the bigger the crop. On one of his
trips, he and the prospective purchaser found a man on one
of the highly touted tracts picking up rocks and throwing them
in his wagon.
"Look at that blankety-blank" cried Mose, "stealin' rocks
from my land. The great big blankety-blank, goin' to salt some
of his sticky with 'em and try to get a fancy price 1"

9. The fine down that covers every

by either means or by pumice.
8. Some women keep superfluous
hair from being noticeable by the
gentle use of the fine pumice stone
sold by toilet goods stores for the
purpose.
4. Of course any chemical which
will dissolve hatr will Irritate the
skin If left on the skin more than a
few moments or If applied In too
concentrated form.
6. The only safe way to destroy
hair Is electrolysis. Any intelligent
person may use this method herself,

To the Editor:
What are we coming to snd where
is It going to end? If we had a sheriff
who had any Intestinal fortitude, and
this Includes our other law enforcing:
officers as well as the grand Jury,
this condition would not exist for at
publlo gathering the first and all
men who called for a rope, for anv
citizen of Jackson county, would be
tnrown behind the bars quick. If it
took th whole u. S. navy to do It,
and the red element In our commu
nity would soon know that our law
enforcing officers were not yellow.

Perhaps the one which won the
most concerted approval was - that
from the stenographic force of the
house of representatives to the mem
bers. It was In the form of a resolu
tion and was read by the reading
clerk, as follows:
"Whereas the blonde, brunette and
red-haired stenographers of the house
of representatives of the state of Ore
gon consider Speaker Earl Snell the
handsomest member; Representative
Lonergan the grandest member; Rep
resentative Day the most distinguish
ed looking member: Representative
Miller the nicest member; Representa
tive Snedlcor the most gracious mem
ber; Representative Hilton the most
loquacious member; Representative
Wells the most effervescent member
and the remainder of the house th
swellest bunch of guys who ever
graced these legislative halls: now
therefore,
"Be It resolved by the varl-colored
stenographic force of the house of
representatives.
"That we hereby extend these eal-
lant gentlemen
"Valentine Greetings."
Then there la a certain senator who
suddenly changed stcnographera In
tne middle of the legislative stream.
He formerly hired a man to do thla
work, and at the beglnnlne of this
week appeared with a ravishing blonde
at nis desk. One (catty) newspaper
reporter passed It around that the
senator's wife had left for the east
the evening before.
Most lawyer members of the legis
lature are happy over the passatte in
the house of the bill Incorporating
the state bar. Passing with but one
dissenting vote, thla bill provide, a
higher standard of qualification for
practicing lawyers, and will act as a
whip against shysterlsm, It Is said.
One house member with few com
mittee assignments, ran out of work
to give his stenographer thla week.
So he set her to the task of writing
! to the wife and kiddles back home.
Was that stenographer's face red!

transportation, there Is a good chance
