Buy Christmas Seals Now!
IT IS never too late to mend. It ii not too late to buy Christ-
mas seals and use them. There is no drive more in harmony
with the true Christmas spirit than this Christmas seal drive,
and it will not end until the first of tbe year.
The receipts of this sale are devoted to stamping out and
preventing that dread disease, tuberculosis. Every stamp sold
means bringing more health and good cheer into homes, which
without the work which these sales make possible, would be
visited by suffering and tragedy.
THUS far, the local seal sales have been highly successful in
every direction, but one. Never before have more people
in modest, even greatly reduced, circumstances, responded to
the call. Dimes, quarters and half-dollars have poured in from
all directions. The schools, publio and private, have a usual,
come forward nobly. So have people in the rural districts.
But to date the people in the cities, particularly right here
in Medford, have not done so well. Many who have given liber
ally in the past, have given nothing this year. Some have even
failed either to send in a contribution or return the stamps
delivered to them. . . .
TPHE latter action, at least MUST BE an oversight. The lead
ers of the local seal committee, are held responsible for
these stamps and are financially liable for those not returned
Certainly no one can wish to place such a financial burden upon
the shoulders of these public spirited and hard working women,
who are unselfishly devoting their time and energy to this
worthy cause.'
Of course those who can't buy the stamps this year, QAN'T
No one is expected to do the impossible. .
But everyone who has received the stamps, can at LEAST
return them. And we believe there are very few who could
not afford to include a dollar or a half dollar in the-envelope,
when they do so. ' ,
The size of the contribution is not so important as that every
one do his or her bit, and thus make the offering of Medford
and Jackson County a truly representative one. '
So if you have stamps which were sent you, get busy at
once, buy what you can buy, and what you CAN'T, return.
In this way a great injustice to the members of the committee
will be avoided; and Medford 'a reputation of always doing its

Chronic CO poisoning Is more com

such poisoning, aalde from those men

mild chronic monoxide poisoning we
can only conjecture, for doubtless
most cases are not correctly diagnosed,
the symptoms being a-crlbed to other
causes. In the majority of Instances
victims of chronic carbon monoxide

KKJHA May Cause Employment

The Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany, of Dallas, ls contending, you
see, that If It has to follow the code
schedule of hours, the same as other
plants, It will have to throw some rf
its employees out of Jobs.
TRUE enough, probably.
But If It DOESN'T follow the
code schedule of hours, and goes
ahead and contributes Its share to
over-production and consequent
swamping of the market, SOMEBODY
ELSE'S employees will lose their Job.
The purpose of the production re

code Is to bring about the greatest
good to the greatest number.

If the students succeed l.i

probably be beaten.
A sales tax would lighten the load
of the property tax payer, but those
who DON'T pay property taxes but
WOULD pay a sales tax are In the
majority when It comes to voting,
and people are slow about voting new
taxes on THEMSELVES in order to
lighten SOMEBODY ELSE'S taxes.
More human nature.

THE sales tax idea ls unpopular m
Oregon.
Still, the income tax Idea was un
popular In Oregon for many years,
but finally prevailed, and now Its
fairness ls generally admitted al
though, of course, those who have to
pay It complain, as people ALWAYS
complain about taxes.
This writer, who voted for and sup
ported the Income tax seven times
before It was finally accepted, ex
pects to vote for and support tns
sales tax.
One can't always be on the popu
lar side, you know.
EVANWHILE, we hear from Wash
ington that the idea of a federal
sales tax, levied and collected at the
source, as the gasoline tax Is levied
and collected, Is gaining In favor.
The government HAS TO HAVE
more money, and a sales tax seems
to be about the only way to get it.
WHILE we are on the subject of the
government's need for money,
here are some Interesting figures:
Twenty-five years ago, It cost about
a haU billion dollars to run the fed
eral government. It now coats around
tnrm and a halt billions, and this
Tear It will fill by about a billion
dollars to collect enough In taxes to
pay Its bills.
That la to say, the DEFICIT Is no
about twice what It used to cost to
run the government.
BEFORE the war,. the Internal deot
of the federal government was
about a billion dollars. It la now
about TWENTY-THREE billions, and
when the bond Issues authorized aa a
part of the national recovery pro
gram are all sold It will be about
THIRTY billions.
So, you see, if tho government of
the United States ever manages to
pay what.lt owea, It la going to HAVE
to levy a lot of new taxea.

Prospect, Oregon
Merry little streamlet,
Laughing as you go
O'er fche fen, adown the glen.
Where the birches grow.
Rippling through the meadow,
Dancing o'er the stones;
'Mong the rushes, by the bushes,
Where the soft wind moans.
How your wavelets glisten
In the morning sun;
You never strayed, nor yet delayed,
Since first your course begun.
Now you flow so peaceful
Where the gray trout play
Amid the mosa. then up you toss
Great white clouds of spray.
Where are your waters tending,
That softly sing to me?
Tomorrow they'll leap on the track
less deep
Of the billowy, surging sea.
Ah, when you reach the ocean,
Will you stop awhile to sleep?
No, Nol Like the sand on the ahlf
lng strand
You'll swell the briny deep.
Dear frolicsome, restless brooklet,
W,hen I no longer roam
By your grassy aide In the eventide
When I have wandered home.
Will you stop or hush your laughter,
Or mourn that my voice ls still?
Ah, no. Alas I though the ages pass,
You'll dance with Joy, oh, thotleaa
