AND WEIGH GILL'S SALES TAX STAND Central Point Votes Approval But Talent Delays Action Till Brockway Talks; Roxy Ann Reported On Carpet Resolution, upholding Ray Gill, master of the State Orange, In hli attitude regarding the sales tax, was passed by the Central Point Orange, which claims to be the largest In the state of Oregon, tn regular meeting Friday night, when It was Introduced by the legislative committee. A simi lar resolution was defeated by the To lent Orange, when Introduced the preceding night. Members of the latter Orange, In defeating the meas ure, stated that they desired more time In which to consider the situa tion, and that they were particularly anxious to hear the address of Repre sentative A. B. Brockway, master of the Jacksonville Orange, and a staunch supporter of the sales tax. Ho Is scheduled to speak before the Ornnga this week. Arthur Brown, state deputy of the Orange, was present at the Central Point meeting, and condemned the tide of criticism, which, has been dl- rected toward Grange Master Gill, stating that he was acting In accord ance with the Instructions of tne Orange delegates, given him at the state convention Inst summer, and should therefore not be condemned for his stand on the sales tax, what ever the opinion of Individual Grangers. When the resolution was presented It was approved, one report stated yesterday with but two dissenting votes. Another Granger claimed there woe none. Several people, however. were known to have refrained from voting on the resolution. At the Talent meeting, according to the report received here yesterday, the resolution was defeated by an overwhelming vote. Communication from the county deputy, R. E. Nealon, was read at each meeting, urging the Grangera to make a thorough atudy of the meas ure, as Individuals, before taking i definite atand. Deputy Brown urged the Grangers to avoid dissension In their own ranks. The Jacksonville Grange will meet this coming week and it Is under stood that some action regarding the sales tax will be taken. The Grange Is said tn be In favor of the sales tax, of which the master is a leading advocate. The Roxy Ann Orange, which passed a resolution endorsing the sales tax soon after It was passed by the special session of the legislature, was said this week to have offered to recon sider the action If Grange Master Ollfc would come here and debate the is sue with Representative Brockway. It was understood that GUI had repri manded the Grange following en dorsement of the sales tax. No re sponse from the Grange master re garding the Invitation had been re ported yesterday. Any action regarding the salea tax. If taken by other. Granges of the county, had not been reported. The Pomona Grange of Jackson county will not meet again for several weeks, IRRIGATION TEST Senator Steiwer Endeavors to Reinstate $5000 Fund for Valley Work Her- miston Station Eliminated WASHINGTON, Jan. fl.(AP) Be cause of a sharp reduction In the budget for agricultural experiment stations, one Oregon station, at Her- mtston, has been eliminated and ap' proprlatlons for three other Oregon stations have been considerably re duced, It was disclosed today. Research activities In dry land farming will be eliminated from the work of the experiment station at Pendleton because of a $9600 reduc tion In its appropriation. The budget provided $2470 for research crops and diseases. The budget for the Med ford station was reduced by 6000, eliminating provisions for agricultural engineer ing. The Med ford station still re tained a budget of $22,400 for the bu reau of entomology, $8846 for the bu reau of plant Industry. The budget for the station at Moro was virtually unchanged at $5385, The elimination of $6000 from the Med ford Experiment station budget would cripple the service offered here to a very detrimental extent, It was stated by agriculturists here last night. Such a decrease would neces sitate elimination of the irrigation ex periments which have proved very beneficial. An effort to retain the agricultural engineering was reported In several groups, and it waa announced that Senator Frederick Steiwer Is doing everything possible to reinstate the provisions for agricultural engineer ing. Hope that such will be possible was maintained by several orcharding The reference to $22,400 for the bureau of entomology, contained in the Washington press release, seemed to mean little to the local experiment station. There is no bureau of ento- j mology maintained at the station. It Is understood that some cne from the department has been here occasion ally during the past four years, but the bureau Is not maintained In Medford. The budget will leave the bureau of plant Industry practically the same amount of money It has had available In the past.

Not so now. "If Medford growers conttnue to raise the best quality of fruit and it the shippers pack only a high grade package, aa thla year, there Is doubt in my mind but we will be in the highest favor. Medford is coming Into Its right place at last, and, I believe, with a bang Bosc 'Come Bark. "There la another most Important advancement made this year an ad vancement that Medford growers are undoubtedly responsible for and cer ts Inly, are most vitally Interested in. 1. e.. the remarkable comeback of the Bosc pear. Last year the Bosc pear hnd lost much of Its popularity and waa not being looked upon with favor by the eastern trade. Their experi ences with green pears, which were Impossible to ripen had cost them nlentv of lasses. The outlook wee very dark. Thla year the outstanding fact is that Bosc pesrs have regained much of their lost prestige. My ob servations coincide with Dr. Hart man's, who stated the Bosc were re ceived fully 100 per cent better this year thon last. In Now York city fine eating Bosc are selling every whereIn the best fruit shops, In the chain stores, and even the street iwldler Is selling them fruit for fruit with apples. It Is a wonderful re covery. Ready tn Fat. "Thanks to Dr. Hartman. the Oregon-Washington Pear birtsu, and the co-operation between the eastern receivers and the Winter Tear com mittee, Boso pears are on the market In the best condition they have ever been. I personally bought 33 or 30 individual samples from the various shops during November and Decem ber and all were of fine eating quality. Medford Bosc growers can feel greatly encouraged and. I believe, look for ward with confidence to that variety taking Us proper plsce in the market at a remunerative price. 'However, although there Is much work yet, to be done (and every grower shpuld support this work), the entire deal looks much better. I am firmly convinced that this district Is on the threshold of an unprece dented prosperity." ' "On RtMrt to Ruin" . WASHINGTON. Jen. 8. (A. ftena i tor Patterson (It . Mo.), said In a statement today that president Boose- j veil's estln.at of ft deficit of more than 17.000.000 this year 'makes It obvious that we are traveling alona U road to financial ruin."

Yet She'll Soon Be Wearing Glasses for the Rest , of Her Life EYEGLASSES are a wonderful aid to vision, but they are for DEFECT IVE vision; and defective vision is a seri ous handicap that is seldom overcome . . . You can postpone the time when it will be necessary for YOUR children to wear them if you will give as much care and thought to their eyes as you would to any other phase of their health and well being. Says an editorial in Safety Engineering: "Poor lighting in the home and lack of supervision of the manner in which chil dren misuse their eyes in the home ... are largely responsible for the fact that one out of three pupils leaving our elemen tary schools have defective vision in vary ing degrees." If you have children in your home, watch their eyes. They seldom real ize the damage they are doing to their eyes by straining them. YOURS is the re sponsibility. Poor vision is usually caused by straining the eyes when reading and studying, and most eyestrain is caused by bad lighting. This can easily be remedied. How to Improve Your Lighting EVERY time you turn on a light, you are pur cha'sing lighting service. The difference" between good and bad lighting amounts to only a few cents a day at the most in the average home. However, in order to secure good lighting, proper fixtures and lamps are necessary'.
