Declaring that the lit grlu,UM or Medford high school deserved , extra honor for having euccesfullv corns through eight difficult years of depression, Dr. Bruce R, Baitar, president of WlUsmette university, addressed a capacity audience of psrenta and - friends at commence ment exercises Friday night. Dr. Baxter pointed out that since entering the fifth grade, this year's graduates hsd not known normal times and normal lives. They have overcome unusual hsndlcaps In ar rtvlng at the pesk of a school csr. eer and should be given extra credit for hsving met and conquered long Odds, he asserted. Expressing the belief thst such hardships foster deslrsble character traits, the speaker told his audience that such character "by-products" may necome "chief products.' add Ing greatly to the enrichment of life and added the hope that the advantages gslned might be retain ed. More serious thinking was listed by Dr. Baxter aa among the valu able by-products of the depression yesrs. Differentiating between some thing to "live on" and something w - live for." he cautioned his young listeners to avoid looking on wealth aa a measure of a successful life. Learning how to share with oth ers, a quality not produced by nor mal times, wss discussed by the speaker aa another by-product of me past eight years, one to be fost ered so It will remsln. "The depression brought us a new and higher stsndard of valuea," Dr. Baxter said. In msrklng thst as another lesson learned from advera lty. "The financial measure Is no longer an adequate standard of suc cessful life. We ,hava discovered thst It Is the possessions Inside, not those outside, thst count." strongly advising a college career whenever possible, he pointed out that such education aids In building up sn appreciation and undemanding which leads to a deeper life and provides something on which to draw when msterlal factora fan. "Such possessions," he said, "cannot be swept away." Lastly, Dr. Baxter lauded the loy alty, brought out by depression years, of those who "stood by and did not quit." "Loyalty goes to make up the shining armor' of life. All honor to thoee who can see It and wear It." Dr. Baxter snld In praising the high motives of Individuals In con tinued service and loyalty to others. "You may not know what that means," he told the class, "but many of you would not be here unless someone had worn shining armor for you."

SUIT DENIES CONTRACT Denial of the existence of ft con tract under which he aeeke compen sation for servlcea la made in an ana- wcr filed yesterday in the suit of Wil liam H. Oore against Jacluon county. Oore la eulng the county for 3. 144 plua Interest oh an alleged con tract for services rendered In Wash ington. D. C, In connection with the passage of legislation by which cer tain Oregon counties have been re imbursed for taxes lost on grant lands revested by the government. The county's answer, filed by Dis trict Attorney Prank J. Newman, ad mit that Oore did render service In Washington but alleges that tne serv ices were voluntary end gratuitous. It is also admitted that on or about Devember 3, 1027, the county paid Oore 5,000 but this, the county con tends, was "donation" and not compensation under an alleged con tract. The answer makes referenoe to Gore's recent suit against the coun ty for 188,000 in which the jury brought In a verdict for the defend ant. No appeal from that pudgment has been taken, the time for an ap peal has elapsed and the Judgment has become conclusive, the answer I filed yesterday asserts. IF THEIR CAT IS THE OLDEST IN TOWN Lord of the manor Is Duffle who long ago took over supervision of the household at flU South Holly street. "Lord, what a. manner s the way the Scottle expresses it. He has been trying to make friends with Duffle for all of the three years he has been there but Duffle In conservative and may consider Scottle aa a friend aiter eight or ten more years but accepts no frlenda on a short three years ac quaintance. Duffle la a Persian cat. He took over the Ottoman household Just 15 years ago. Bob Ottoman, s. sophomore in forestry at Oregon State college, was six then and wanted ft cat. Bob father. M. Ottoman, ticket clerk for the Southern Pacific, did not want a cat and so Bob won any they have had tho oat ever since. Bob and his sister, Ruth, teacher in the school r.t Talent, gave birthday parties for'Duffle. They even remem bered him during each Chrlstmns holiday. Duffle always got a catnip mouse for a present and on such oo cnslons unbent somewhat and chased the catnip mouse round and round the tree. Of la to years Duffle has felt that he must put away kittenish things and so the catnip mouse was discontin ued. These days, Duffle confines his activities to taking a walk a few doors down the street. Reversing the usual procedure, he does his visiting during the day and Is taken In at night, for Duffle Is no gAd-about. Nowadays ho may bo seen lyln tn the sun on the Ottoman front porch. He hopes to attend Bob Ottoman's grad uation In two years more and the Ottomans are all hoping ho will be around then to Join In the celebra tion. He Is wondering If he has not the distinction or being the cat In Medford who has been longest In one .'amity at the same location. SEEKTARENTS OF If the parents of Charles W Howard of San Diego live In south ern Oregon, Medford city police would like to receive word from them. A telegram was received yesterday from Ban Diego stating that Charlr W. Howard, whose parents were sup posed to reside here, had died. The wire was from Chester D. Ounn, cor oner. Late last night, city police had been unable to locate Mr. and Mrs. Howard.

AND VET JOIN C OF C That the Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce belongs to all the people of Jackson county la under stood and thoroughly endorsed by every progressive citizen of the county Is amply attested by the morning mall received at the cham ber of commerce offices on Main street. For Instance the last morn ing mall contained a check for one membership for the Disabled Amer ican Veterans of the World War and Us auxiliary. They were not asked to Join but did so voluntar ily. One wonders what personal good would acruo to the Individual mem bers of the Disabled Veterans of the World War through the chamber of commerce? Probably little direct benefit would be received by ' the organization or Its members, but evidently their object In sending tho small check and doing what they could with means as limited and badly needed rs theirs was one of benefit to the entire community, a public spirited good will for their neighbors to whom the Jackson County Chamber of Commerco means progress, and Improved business con ditions for all. Tho C. M. W. company, whose place of business Is outaldo Med ford but within the county, sent their membership fee and added to the letter tho following: "Wo wish to congratulate tho Jackson County, Chamber of Commerce for the good work it has been doing for the county and the help It has been to our business." A music teacher, a beauty parlor operator, and a clergyman sent membership fees In tho same mall. Thcso contributions wcro sent vol untnrlly, willingly, even adding notes of gratitude for the opportunity to assist so worthwhile an organiza tion as the chamber of commerce In its excellent work in the county. At first thought It might seem odd for a clergyman to ofler his mem bership to a chamber of commerce. A man whose every effort, whoae entire purpose. Is for removed from any ordinary commercial business interests. But a man who evidently seen beyond tho Immediate mercen ary benefits derived from the activ ities of tho chamber of commerce I and who realizes that as the com munity progresses In business, stan nrcls of living are raised, there is less crime and wont and conse quently less misery, less people on relle'. The music teacher who was eager to bo a member of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce knows that as tho community grows and become more prosperous so would the people of the community have more money to spend for the better till nit a of life of which music la a part. i With support such as this can Jackson eouuty fall to go ahead steadily? With these examples of the farsightedness of the disabled veter ans orgnnlwitlon. the Mnall business outside Medford, the music teacher, the beauty parlor operator and the clergyman can any man In an: busl.irft fall to gt his whol. hearted supiwrt to the one prg.ui IrAtton that has the welfitre progress of Jackson rounty and o. every businew and buslnes man . Jackson county as Its sole ohj and purpose? For your answer. Just watch t ' list of names grow on the bullet i; board In front of the Chamber i. commerce building on Main, slreei.
