"No city can go forward and carry out necessary Improvements or con serve what Improvement It already has without spending money. Med ford is going forward and therefore the repair of Its paved streets is Imperative: "There is no doubt that the atreets are badly In need of repairs.

Our own ct Means, of course, likewise com plain, and with Justification. "A chamber of commerce director who spoke to me today, aald that our atreets were a disgrace for a city that la Inviting tourlsta and bring ing conventions here, to say nothing of our own citizens who must use the dilapidated atreets every day. "The small amount of the bond lasue and special tax levy Is negli gible In' comparison with the Im provement and general good It will bring to the city and with the value of removing a source of Irritation. Inconvenience and danger now faced not only by tourlsta and other visit ors, but by our own citizens as well. The proposed outlay la small, too.

(jP Besieged In his ranch boust near Wendllng by state police and deputy sheriffs, for five hours, Dlonyslaus Crtspo, about 60, sho and killed himself last night aa officers launch ed , an attack on the barricaded dwelling with tear gas bombs. Crlspo, a Mexican, was wanted on a charge of shooting and killing Dep uty Sheriff Hollo Wicks when the officer lought to street him sfter a neighborhood quarrel In which Dar rell Stollberg wss wounded. Captain Walter Lansing of the state police, who brought tear gaa bombs from Salem 1 while the house was guarded by other state police and deputy sheriffs, said that two shots were heard after the first bomb was thrown, and that Crlspo's body was found - on the second floor of tne dwelling. The officers said that Wicks, un armed, went to arrest Crlspo sfter Stollberg reported being shot snd wounded In a quarrel with the rancher over a pile of refuse in the latter yard. Crlspo was alleged to have shot the officer from a distance of 50 feet, later taking refuge In his house. A crowd estimated at 1000 persona gathered during the siege, automo biles being lined up for nesrly a mile. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, famous Oermsn airship builder, serv ed as an observer with the northern forces during the American Civil war TO APPLY SPRAYS FOR FRUIT PESTS AU apple and pear treea should be sprayed aa soon as possible for con trol of codling moth larvae, accord ing to C. B. Cordy, assistant county agent, and L. O. Centner, entomolo gist of the Southern Oregon experi ment station. '. . This spray has been made necessary by tha recent heavy rains, which have washed off a certain amount of poison The first cover for the sec ond brood of worms will not come until the middle of July and It la felt that the present cover after hav ing been weakened by rain will not be adequate to afford the fruit pro tection until that time. - Use three pounds of . arsenate of lead and one-fourth to. one -third pound of spreader. As there will be a rather heavy batch of eggs for the rest of this week, the addition of three-fourths gallon - of aummer oil emulsion during that period will kill many of these eggs. This 1s not advised except on pears, where worms have been a problem, and on apples. Peach and apricot growers are ad vised to spray for the control of peach blight and brown rot aa soon ss possible, according to O. B. Cordy. Ordinarily a spray at this time la unnecessary but the present unset tled weather Is very favorable for the development of these . dlsases. Suspectlble varieties are already showing considerable damage. Use six pounds of we table- sulphur per 100 gallons of water and thor oughly spray all varieties of peaches and apricots. Dusting of a high grade dusting sulphur will also give good control. Obituary Locked -in goodness for best results The secret of a good piecrust is fresh shortening. SNOWDRIFT is always fresh.
