IN FRUIT HARVEST
Watchful waiting continued today
on the agitation front In Jackson
county, with no signs of an uprising.
All was quiet In the orchards with
picking of Bartlettts and their haul
ing to market undisturbed. There Is
plenty of work and plenty of work
ers, with fewer transients seeking
Jobs than at any time In the past
five years. Sheriff Olmscheld said
this morning all was peaceful and
would probably continue so. The of
ficial stated that the 240 special dep
uty sheriffs named by him without
pay and the "Citizens' Emergency
Committee of 200" formed the first
week, were thoroughly organized.
The Citizens' Committee announced
lta purpose as "service In case of
flood, fire, storm, disorder and riot."
To date, both the elements and man
were behaving themselves. A major
ity of the orchard workers have them
selves frowned on any attempt to stir
strife and menace the peace and
prosperity of the valley while the
harvest of the fruit is under way.
Visiting organizers and disciples of
the "Cannery and Agricultural Wor
ers Union" are declared dormant. In
dulging in nothing more serious than
calm discussions of the economic dif
ference. Nothing has been done about
the 100 votes cast last Thursday eve
ning at the P. A: E. meeting for 40
cents per hour for pear pickers. Only
one batch of communistic literature
has been distributed In these parts.
Two or three workers have been dis
charged for "agitating talk."
Reports from Josephine county said
that efforts were being made to cre
ate a labor rumpus among the hop
pickers of that section. Business men
of Grants Pass were reported as dis
gusted to think their county court
would give the "Cannery and Agri
cultural Workera Union" permission
to use the fair grounds for a meet
ing place, and the presentation of a
moving picture. A report was received
that a move was afoot to have the
permit rescinded.
ATTENTION JIMMIE VALENTINE!

pense, Al Plche has added to his well
stocked Fishing Tackle Dept. all the

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the flat
The family had gathered
To discuss this and that.
Above the oil burner
The stockings were placed
In hopes that by Santa
They soon would be graced.
The children were snug
In their wee folding beds
And no fear of Dillinger
Entered their heads.
They were eager for morning
Yet at peace with the world
While all thru the city
A snow blizzard swirled.
The fireplace embers
Slowly grew dim
Then Pa looked at Ma
And Ma looked at him,
"We're tired and weary
So let's go to bed."
Then Ma sorta yawned
And here's what she said:
"It's nigh on to freezing
It is colder tonight
But we're mighty cozy."
Ma beamed with delight.
"For back in the summer
It was hot, Man 'O Man
I bought blankets at Penney's
On the 'Lay-Away' plan."
