Evangelist Tells RAAPPROVES EAST MAIN JOB Approval of a third local project, requested through the State Emer gency Relict administration, was re ported here today, and work on the elimination of the sharp curve In Bast Main street la expected to start tn the near future. Date for opening of work on thla much sought Improvement had not been set thla afternoon. It waa re ported at the placement and person nel bureau by the manager, Kenneth B. Wall. Work has been underway for the past week on the Rosy Ann and Bear creek projects, tho first two approved under the sera. Methodists To Be Worthy of Church Lost evening at the Plrst Method ist church, Rev. Walter Duff, Jr., of the Irish Trio, In a very clever man ner showed up those Methodists who, never having been real fair to the tenets and practices of their own ohuroh, would become enthusiastic devotees of some other. He suggested that If they would attend Sunday school regularly, as well as the evening - services and prayer meetings, and study their Bibles dally and then go out and live their religion among men they would be worthwhile Christians. Hla sermon laat night was a very vivid and dramatic Interpretation of the healing of the leper Naaman, rich with illustrations and full of lntereat throughout. Rev. tiuuft does not preach over the heads of the congregation, and yet;' while hla aermons are marked for their plain and easy construc tion, they are atrong and convincing in argument and abounding In gospel truth. The meetings are Increasing In In terest from night to night as the general public learns of the unique and attractive manner In which these Irish evangelists present their message. SIX RUNS REPORTED Six runs, resulting tn a loea of 16, were made by the Medford fire de partment during the month of April, according to a report made thla af ternoon by Fire Chief Roy Elliott. Of this number two were residences, two flue fires, one false alarm and one out-of-town call. April, 1039, there were nine runa made by tho department with a loss of 8833. mm IS. FEHL'S NAME TO BE ON BALLOT IS OFFICIAL WORD For the past week ft persistent rumor has been circulated in rural districts that the name , of Electa A. Fehl, candidate for county Judge, and wife of the Imprisoned former county official does not appear on the pri mary ballot. Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, the name of Electa A. Fehl does appear on the ballot, according to the county clerk's office and the printer printing the ballots, with the slogan, "Honor Demands Justice." Who started the rumor, or what Its "political significance" may be Is un known, but it has enjoyed a wide circulation. Mrs. Fehl was the first of the three Republican candidates to file, the others being County Judge Earl B. Day, and Henry W. Conger of Jack sonville. Conger received the endorse ment of the revived self-styled "Good Govern me nt Congress" at lta first meeting. Mrs, Fehl early last month distributed circulars alleging her hus band was the victim of a plot. Since then her campaign has been dormant and her candidacy has created no great furore. The political pot in Jackson county so far has shown no- signs of boiling. Chief Interest centers In the sales tax, and a Republican choice for gov ernor. Sentiment In O. O. P. circles Is showing a desire to concentrate on a candidate who can beat Rufus Hol man. Lonergan or Dunne have the lead with General MacAlexander next. Hoi man's chief strength here Is among the grangers opposing the sales tax. Grangers favoring the sales tax, and opposed to state grange domination by Portland politicians, are leaning towards 8am H. Brown. Holman was here a week ago look ing after his political fences, and try ing to confirm the fanciful informa tion that the "Good Government Con. gress" could deliver 6000 votes to him. Holman two weeks ago denied the report he would pardon L. A. ELECT I I JOE E.

Has sponsored and supported much legislation favorablo to labor, the un employed, farmers, dairymen, rater ana, etc, during his eight years as State Senator, Aa Governor Joe Dunne will be able to battle these problems more effectively. "A Governor for ALL the People" ":' " :( I WAS ALWAYS HAVING ""T S FRAZZLED NERVES. A V FRIEND SAID, ''TRY CAMELS." I 5W F so 1 DID N0W ' ENJOY V mSr SMOKING MORE, AND X rjr MY NERVES ARE O.KI Banks, former local agitator serving a life term, If elected, and, la sched uled to Issue a more emphatic "No" on the subject. Lonergan haa some strength, but defending Banks and likening him to "Christ" in his ad dress to the Jury, is still remembered by scores of Jackson county voters. It Is the comparison, not the activity aa a lawyer, that Irks the citizenry. Apathy still rules In races for county offices, though the candidates themselves have been scurrying around shsking hands. D. M. Lowe says he has been generally over the county, and finds practically no com ment on county candidates, with the sheriff race showing what little In terest Is shown. A new state park In Texas will com prise 800 acres of vine-covered swsmp lands, floating Islands and mud gey sera In Gonzales county. REHEARSALS START Participants in the operetta, 'The Mysterious Master," to be presented at St. Mary's academy, are busy this week, making the smocks, hats, dresses and other costume accessories to be worn In the production. The chorus Is divided into two parts, one composed of maids and the other of gardeners. Morning periods at the academy have been shortened to provide more time for rehearsals. The second act of the operetta has been mastered by the students and the whole produc tion will be ready for rehearsals the last of the week.
