POLICY AND CHAMBER LAUDED AT BY PEACH GROWER GOAT MAN WARNED BY SCHOOL CLUB Vance Walgamott Declares Progress and Benefits Accrue From 1932 Efforts and He Commends. To the Editor: A a reader of your newspaper, I ra convinced that you have the In terest of the grower or the valley at heart hence thla letter. A few months ago, the Medford Chamber of Commerce announced that Us major program for thla year would be agriculture and I have watched with Interest the various de velopment as they have taken place. Various groups of growers have been organized and while I am not famil iar with the accomplishment of all of the group, I can. however, speak for the work done with regard, the apri cot and peach growers because I was selected a member of that particular group. I have never been connected with the Chamber of Commerce be fore in my life but I do believe that the work done this year Is & step In the right direction and If the Cham ber of Commerce profit by Its ex periences this year, there should oc ft greater accomplishment next year. I am happy to Inform you that thla has been one of the best years I have ever experienced aa a peach grower and I attribute a part of It to the ef forts of the Chamber of Commerce In bringing the growers and th re tail stores of the city together In a harmonious manner. I cannot speak too highly also fr the commendable way In which the stores have worked wtch the local growers, which not only resulted In us receiving a good, price this year but had a tendency to keep off the local market inferior fruit brought In Xrom the outsMe. The work of the Medford Chamber of Commercd was even carried to Ash land and I am taking thla opportuni ty to Inform you that as a grower I am appreciative of the assistance which has been given us thla yaer and look: forward to seeing the good pro gram which has been started carried vut with greater result in the future. I know that these sentiments are not merely my own but express the opin ions of vegetable, tomato, and other ' atone fruit growers with whom I have spoken since the Chamber of Com merce entered upon Its agricultural program. I also want ' to commend you for editorials which you have written from time to time urging the support to the local growers which I think ' also helped considerably. With thei Chnmber of Commerce, the newspa-i peri, the stores and the growers all working together for the benefit of the valley as a whole, I foresee a splendid future for Medford and southern Oregon.

GOLD FIND Peace moves were made through Justice of the Peace William R. Cole man last week In two rural neigh borhood dlstrubancea. Those Involv ed agreed to return to their homes, and endeavor to harmonize with one and another In the future. After hearing both sides of the crgument between Helen Drlskell and her brother-in-law Cecil Drlskell, of the Derby district, the court ruled both should keep off each other's property, and away from each other, The long-standing trouble came to a head when a fight started which ended when the woman waa knocked down, and Drlskell sustained a. black eye. Each claimed the other was the aggressor. Drlskell maintained that his sister-in-law hit him In the eye with a rock, not her fist, as she claimed. He admitted that he had torn the wo man's clothing, but only after the had torn off his shirt. Dean DeVond, a homesteader of the Elk Creek district, waa warned by the court that the "next time any com print Is registered against you, to tall you go goats or no goats." De Vond told the court he had to herd hlsgoats, and a period In Jail would be Inconvenient. Complaint was made that the goats were eating up David Fences corn, and otherwise being a nuisance. DoVond, also had difficulties with two womon he hired as housekeep ers, and; was advised, by the court, "you'll have to cut that out too." "Tho court Is getting tired of hear ing about you," said the court. "So the next time you show up here, you might as well make arrangements to sell your goats and settle down In the county jail until the grand Jury meets, If It takes six months. You go home now, and don't bother about a housekeeper, and keep your goats out of Dave Pence'a corn and past ure." DeVond, an ex-puglllst and sailor, who draws a 113. per .month pension from the government, agreed that he would. A number of neighborhood feuda have been called to tne attention of the court the past week. If possible the court has Insisted they be settled without a legal action.

Druggist Bewildered by Throng of Gyp Artists A man rushed Into Strang's drug store, the first of the week, all out of breath, and asked Charles Strang, the pioneer druggist. If he could bor row a hammer for a few minutes to fix an auto tire rim. The pioneer druggist obligingly loaned him his pioneer hammer. That was the last seen of hammer or borrower. It Is thought he took It to a second-hand store and sold It for a dime. Thursday afternoon a well dressed woman entered Strang's and asked for some kidney pills. Virgil Strang waited upon her. The pills were for the customer's mother who, It was explained, was seated In an auto "around the corner." Four varieties of kidney pills were produced and the daughter was uncertain which kind her mother used. "Would it be all rlaM If I took these four boxes of kidney pills out to the car and find out which brand mother uses?" asked the daughter. Virgil Strang thought this "would be all right." i The woman now has a winter's supply of kidney pills, because a few moments later, when VlrgU Strang went out to Investigate, he could find no auto, mother, daugh ter or kidney pills. About supper time last evening, two young men came Into Strang's, and one wanted an ounce of- some thing, in the back room. Charles Strang went to get it for him and when he returned a handful of safety razor blades waa missing. The matter of the missing kidney pills was reported to the city police, who are looking for a well dressed lady. Merchants are advised by the au thorities to be on guard against petty gypping and thieving, and particu larly against short-change artists, specallze in asking for a (10 bill to put in an envelope, and because the hand Is quicker than t,Tie eye. some times, leaves the merchant holding an empty envelope.

ON ESPEE OCT. 1 Changes In the Southern Pacific time table, to. become effective Octo ber 1, were announced today by A. S. Rosenbaum, general freight and traf fic agent. Thank You! We Appreciate the Generous Response To Our Announcement of Our New 25c Merchant's Lunch We Will Continue To Offer the Great est Food Value in Medford Nandie's c One of the most surprising letters I have received in a long time came recently. A man wrote to ask why I had "abandoned the low-price field." We found the writer of that letter. He had used only Ford cars; his present car had served him seven years; he hoped sometime to replace it with a new Ford; but, as he saw the Ford V-8's grow thicker on the streets, and noted their style and action, he just naturally jumped to the conclusion that these must be expensive cars, and that therefore "Ford had gone out of the low-price field." Besides that, "did not this new Ford have 8 cylinders?" "Did not that prove that the car was not low-priced for are not all 8's expensive?" Hence his letter. He complained that after 30 years of making cars for the low-price field I had deserted my old customers for those who were used to spending more money. Of course, a price-list soon showed him his mistake. He waa helped to his hasty conclusion by seeing a new class of people riding in Ford cars the last four or five years. It was once believed that no one who could afford a high-priced car would use a low-priced car. But that has changed. The matter of value now comes first, the matter of price second. America used to buy price-tags, now it demands quality. That explains why tens of thousands of Americans who can afford to pay higher prices, prefer to buy the Ford at a lower price, because in the Ford V-8 they get the quality, the performance, the comfort, the style which are supposed to be exclusive in very high-priced cars. To be low-priced, a car is not necessarily cheap. A really cheap or inferior car never could become low-priced. Not enoughbf them would be' bought to make a low price possible. That means that to keep my prices low I must remain in the high quality field, for it is impossible to have the price right unless the car is right too. What I have done is to adapt the expensive V-typ 8-cylinder engine to the low-price field, making it simple, and less expensive to own and drive than the 4-cylinder cars were. There is one thing I would make clear to my friends: my field Is the low-price field and will always remain so. . September 22, 1932. V (,-. i A if.: ; JLjftMti.iilt.iitrt'liNl
