(AP) Two persons were trapped and lost their lives and four of six persons who Jumped from a second-story win dow were Injured today when fire destroyed the McBrlde hotel at Lone Oak. TAX IS ASSESSED TO KILLER ONLY "me? appears to be a general nvs understanding among farmers as to vho is to pay the processing tax on hogs," stated County Agent Fowler today. "The Agricultural Adjustment Act, under which the marketing of hogs la to be curtailed, has for Its prin cipal object the Increasing of the buying power of the farmer. Tlie processing tax on pork 1 similar to the processing tax on wheat and must be paid by the consumer eventually." The processing tax is to be paid by the man who kills the pig. The government holds the killer respon sible, and no one else. Everyone who kills a pig must pay the tax. except the farmer who kills for his own home consumption. The farmer who kills a pig with the expectation of selling the carcass, either whole or as hams, bacon, sausage, etc., will be required to pay the tax. Butchers who do custom killing that Is, who kill pigs for others at so much a head, will be required by the government .to pay the tax. If, however, a farmer brlnga to a butcher a pig of his own raising, hires the butcher to kill It, and then takes the carcass home for use in his own family, he may give the butcher a cer tificate to the effect that this hog la to be used entirely for consump tion within bis own family, and this certificate in turn will relieve the butcher from the necessity of paying the tax. Blanks for these certificates may be obtained from the collector of internal revenue. All butchers doing custom work should write for sup ply. Prices quoted on hogs at the Port land stockyards or at any other pub lic market in the United States are the prices which are actually paid to the shippers and the tax la NOT de ducted from these prices. Farmers who sell pigs to buyers at the market price and then permit the buyer to deduct the tax are simply allowing themselves to be cheated by that much. Also, the farmer who eeJls dressed carcasses to retailers or whole salers and allows the buyer to dedue! the tax with the understanding thai the buyer is to eventually pay the tax to the government is again being cheated because the farmer who kill ed the hog will have to pay the tax direct to the government. The department of Internal reve nue collects the tax and will furnish the blanks to anyone who Is killing hogs. C. O. Hoover, chairman of Pomona Orange agriculture committee, urges that before selling dressed hogs the farmers get in touch with the county agent.

OREGON and WASHINGTON 8 Ml MORTGAGE CO. JL X 45 g. Central. W. E. Thomas. Mgr. License No. 8-157 jk Why We Think the Fox Theatre Chain and Holly .Theatre Are A Menace to Medford and Vicinity and to Us the Independent Theatre Owners .... WE think the past operation of the Fox Theatre Chain in Medford is enough to put the stamp of disapprov al forever upon them, for their whole purpose and aim seems, to us, to be along one line of thought, and that is to control all the theatres here, THEY purchased, last year, all the Major film product, forcing the closing of the Holly. George Roy, who was operating the State Theatre, was forced to quit, and the Rosy was forced to show pictures at ten cents and was barely able to remain open. They were unable to pay any decent salaries and were in a most precarious condition. THIS was all done by Fox with staggering losses to themselves ; so we believe that if ever there was such a thing as unfair competition, this is it. WE believe that every admission paid into the Holly Theatre is a direct thrust at our very vitals, and appeal to you the citizens of our own city to spend your money with the independent, homeowned theatres. DOTH Mr. Newman and Mr. Rosenberg called upon George Hunt, agreeing to maintain the same policy and prices as Hunt's Craterian when they opened the Holly Theatre. This agreement they have already broken by double billing and really, you can expect anything.. You have heard of "bread wars" when bread was sold as low as one cent per loaf and, frankly, it is possible that theatre admissions might go that low in Medford, THEY may show pictures that you wish to see, but in this case, we ask you to wait for their showing in our second-run theatres, which will show them shortly after- ward.
