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.

"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

chain stores, and even the street

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."

was quoted as saying that at a meet
ing between himself and legislators
whom he did not name, the sugges

opera will be given. "The Mikado," Is
famous for Its clever and lovely num
bers such as the chorus of "The Flow-
era that bloom in the Spring, Tra,
La." and the solo of "Ko-Ko", "Sing
Willow Lit Willow." This Is a contin
uance or the Gilbert and Sullivan
done in former years. "The Pirates of
Peneance," was presented In '32 and

tunity of displaying their talents. The

make the gay kimonos and costumes
worn by the boys of the opers. They
are to be many beautiful colors, all
lending charm to the settings.

Louise Hollenback and her art class.
Mr. Mentzer and the shop class will
begin construction on the sets aa soon,
as the designs are finished. The set- j
tings sre to be filled with lovely
cherry trees, pagodas, foot bridges snd
all that characterizes a truly Japanese
garden.
Miss Carin Degermark will teach all
the clever little dances Included In
the opera. These are expected to be
one of the most, among many, of the
Interesting features of the production.
The most responsible part of the
staging and direction will of course
fall upon Miss Harriet Baldwin, di
rector of the glee clubs, and Mr. Wil
son Walte, director of the orchestra.
The leads of the opera are to be ehos-
the two glee clubs and the choruses,
of the remaining members. The scores j
have been received and memorizing t
of the numbers begun. )
Advertising and publicity for the I
opera Is to be handled by Mr. Ralph
Bailey. '
Mlsa La Vere Mae will handle the
distributing and collection of the
money for the opera production. The
ticket sales and receipt of the money
received are spervised by her.
The speaking parts and dramatic
expression Is under Miss Doris Baler,
and all of the production Is under
the supervision of Mr. C. G. Smith,
principal.
"The Mikado" Is truly an all school
production and gives the townspeople
a good glimpse of the work of the
several departments in the school.-

POWELL .1 O'FAR R E LL SAN FRANCISCO
Only ten years old
. . . 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'. Our one pur
pose is to give you the greatest possible benefit
from the electric service you pay for. We are
prepared to help you with your lighting prob
lems. Why not phone for this service today or
see the new type fixtures on sale at your dealers?
