Of couran It Ut You can't use the same kind of maker for both. Nor should you use the same kind of coffee for both. In a drip coffee maker, boiling water drips ONLY ONCE through a coffee specially prepared to yield its flavor quickly. In a percolator, water passes many timet through a coffee prepared to yield its flavor slowly. The same coffee can be used for both methods, but like a "Jack-of-all-trades" it is "master of none" neither drip nor percolator. In one or the other, little things happen. It's a little weak, or a little strong, or a little cloudy, or it has a little less flavor. It's these little things that make or mar good coffee. Be sure to use the correct coffee for each method. Your grocer has two Schilling Coffces.identical in flavor, but each is specially prepared for its purpose each one different in blend, roast and grind. Two Schilling Cofms Mrs. Bengtson Is Honored at Luncheon Mrs. O. Hlldlng Bengtson waa hos tess Thursday noon at a delightful luncheon at the Colonial club honor ing Mrs. Anna G.

DYING DESPERADO GIVES HOI 1 ON PARTNERSHIDEOUT (Continued rrom page one) cape from the Crown Point, Ind., Jail two weeks ago, was shot down in a battle with sheriff's officers this morning, and officers armed with machine guns were combing the vi cinity for Dllllnger, who, ho said, had been with him. The negro, about 35 yeara old, was nearly unconscious when he gasped out the Information that sent all available officers Into the manhunt for the desperado who had been the object of a nation-wide search since he cowed his Indiana Jail guards with an Imitation pistol, carved from a broom handle, and fled. Tipped on Whereabouts Four officers, led by Sheriff Wil liam L. Van Antwerp, went to a store In the negro section of South Port Huron, on & tip that a negro carry ing a gun and boasting of a' Jail es cape was there. The suspect met them &t the door, gave another name, and, when the officers sought to enter, opened fire. The officers returned the fire, and the suspect fell with a wound near the heart and three bullets In the abdomen. Undersherlff Charles 1 Cavanaugh and Deputy Howard Lohr also fell, with serious wounds. .Sheriff Van Antwerp was wounded in the arm. Deputy Ferris Lucas escaped injury In the hall of lead. Taken to a hospital, the negro said he was the long sought fugitive. aJiu that Dllllnger and three other men had been with him In South Port Huron. ' When hospital attendants washed his face, they found a scar on each cheek, hidden by burnt cork. This led officers to believe that possibly Dll llnger has been masquerading as a negro. City Is Comhed Every exit from South Port Huron was placed under guard by sheriff's officers, state police and local police, and other officers combed the sub urb. In search of the fugitives' hide out. Dllllnger walked out of the Crown Point Jail March 3, leaving guards and deputies locked In cells. Since then, he and Youngblood have been reported In many sections of the country and at least one bank robbery Is attributed to them. The search has centered for the most part In the Chicago area, where the motor car of Sheriff Lillian Holley, In which Dlltinger and Youngblood had fled, was found. Dllllnger, captured In Tuscon, Ariz., after a search or many months that started when he was freed from the Lima, Ohio, Jail In a bloody foray by outlaw aides, faced a mur der charge In Crown Point for the slaying of a policeman. That was one of many killings attributed to him during his brief career of crime which earned him the title of ';cop killer." .

California Magazine Pays Roger Cowles High Tribute (The following tribute, to Roger Cowles, promising author, who com mitted suicide in San Franclscj In January, In a fit of depression in duced by continued 1)1 nealth. was printed In' the February Issue of the Dune Forum, published at Oceano, California. F.i'ger Cowles spent his early youth In Medford and attended school Iiere, later going to Santa Bar bara, Calif., wth his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick H. Cowles. The following appreciation ahows in what high regard, the literary quality of Roger Cowles work was held, by one of the leading literary groups of southern California.) "The suicide ot Roger Cowles, who had promised a contribution to the Dune Forum as soon as he could get down to the dunes and talk it over, is by far the most tragic news of this month. Even his severest critics could not but be moved by reading In the paper that this briUlant ycung Callfornian, giving up hope cf ever regaining his health, had taken hl8 life by inhaling the exhaust-pas from a hired car. "It was not only his health, how ever, which caused such desperate despair although undoubtedly his consumption had from the start warped his point of view and caused the defeatism which colored his whole life. "His one novel, published in Eng land, under the title of 'Distant Drums and In this country retitled 'The San Feliplans, was well-reviewed by all the eastern papers, not so well by the west, where priuo was stung. Santa Barbara, his own home town, was particularly incensed. recognizing Itself as San Felipe, and not at all flattered by the picture. "It reminds us of the fury of the Dublan audiences when Syr.ge's Play- AT STATE STORE "Sake" is here which doesn't mean that a clairvoyant or mystery man has arrived In the city of Medford. But that the favorite liquor of the Jap anese, Is In from the Orient. The first shipment was unpacked this morning at the state liquor store on South Bartlett. Wrapped In rice straw and stamped with letters, which even the staff couldn't read, the blue green bottle, almost two quarts in size, was at tracting much attention. It is made of rice and Is known to all Island travelers find people fa miliar with the Orient. The new shipment of liquors, fill ing the first order out from the Med ford store, arrived yenterday and was made up of 90 cases of numerous va rieties. The local store Is continuing to do good, steady business. Manager Earl Foy stated this morning. The total for yesterday was $133.55. - CHARGERS TO DEMONS Vtf AS 80 RE mm in-1.- HEIIS 33000 OIL MANY KINDS OF MAKING SUPER SHELL, SHELL CHOOSES I DlBliWli GASOLINE CRUDES WITH BEST STARTING, MILEAGE, AND ANTI-KNOCK QUALITIES. boj of the Western World' was first presented at the Abbey theater. ( The rage of Caliban seeing his own Image in the glass. . . . Only a completely sophisticated people like, the English can thoroughly enjoy beinu satirized to their faces (witness the Immense popularity In London of Bernnrd Shaw.) "On all sides Roger Cowles was hounded by the protests of his fellow citizens. His family did not escape. Charles Hanson Towne could write in his Hearst column with delight at the brllllAUt characterizations, the delicious satire but then Mr. Towne lives In New York, and saw only archetypes where Santa Bnrbarans saw their friends, sometimes them selves. "Of course the book was not a lair picture of Santa BarbHra. or any other California town. Satire Is never fair. There were kind people in Swift's Dublin; fine people in Vol taire's France," "In the long run Ireland and France gained more than they lost, angry as they may have been at the moment. So it will be with Cali fornia. It Is only a great pity that Cowles was not strong enough to sur vive the Indignation of his fellow citizens, He was too vulnerable to the sincere arguments of his friends. He allowed himself ta be convinced that his one great gift was cruel and un ethical. He destroyed the whole manuscript of his second novel. He tried to write in the vein of kindness. The next manuscript which he sent to publishers was refused. Stripped of his unique gift, he was powerless to earn a living. And California was robbed of a genius, which time would have heightened with each passing of the mortal personalities he im personally Immortalized." Dune Fo rum, February 15, 1934. E KNOWN IN YEAR The magnolia tree, that was plant ed by Dr. E. B. Plckel, at Main and Ivy streets more than 30 yeara ago, and presented to Jackson county and the Medford Garden club by Mrd. Amelia Toft, has been moved to the courthouse lawn. It stands near the southeast corner. According to Austin Welt, landscape gardener, who had charge of the re moval, It will take a year to deter mine whether the tree, said to be the only one of its kind In southern Ore gon, will survive the transplanting. It has better than an even chance to live, according to Welt, as it is natur ally hardy and has no tap root. It has been surrounded with peat, which acts both as, a fertilizer and a mols turo retainer. Offers of 50 to $100 were made by valley residents for the tree. The expense of moving the treo was borne by the General Oil com pany, which will erect a service sta tion on the corner.. 3. VERY FROM GASOLINE JUMPS WASTEFUL ft IS REMOVED.

FLORAL TRIBUTE A basket of flowers was placed yes terday at the stone In the city park that stands to the memory of Con stable George J. Prescott. It was the tribute of the sheriff's office to a martyred co-worker, of another day. A year ago today. Constable George J. Prescott, was slain by L. A. Banks. during the performance of his offic ial duty while serving a warrant upon the local agitator. Indicted with ft score of others for participation In the ackson county ballot robbery. Banks was convicted of second degree murder and is now serving a life term In state prison, along with aides, convicted of ballot theft. The murder came as a tragic cli max to a long period of community turmoil In which constituted author ity was defied. In contrast to the bitterness and anxiety of a short year ago, all was peaceful In Jackson county today. Hundreds of Jackson county resi dents regretfully recalled the day, with the hope the tragedy, or the circumstances that bred It, would never come again. if you have not already made An inventory of your business and will soon. , remember the Commercial Printing Department of the Moil Tribune. 28-30 No. Grape, carry ln ventory blanks.
