FARM, 76 IN FENCE A search of three weeks for Alvln U Drake, 78. resident of the Jackson county poor farm, waa ended at 6:46 yesterday morning when bis lifeless body was discovered entangled in a barbed wire fence about one-half mile from nla former home and about 32 feet from the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. The aged man, who had disappear ed from the county farm between 5 and 0 a. m. August 0, apparently died from heart failure or shock in attempting to climb the blrbed wire fence, the county coroner's office said. The body, badly decomposed, was removed to Kerby yesterday for burial. Discovery was made by Cecil Hart ley, a resident of that section, while he waa letting water Into bis Irriga tion ditch. The body waa badly tan glad In the barbed wire fence. Weeds at least five feet high almost com pletely hid the body from the South ern Pacific tracks, accounting for the belated discovery, according to the coroner office. Although the body was so badly decomposed that a minute examina tion was impossible, it waa discovered that one arm was broken, probably caused when Drake half fell while attempting to climb the fence. The old fellow had removed his shoes and socks. Drake left the county farm after residing there Just pno week to the day. To reach the railroad right of way, he waa forced to cross a large corn and alfalfa field. No reason was given for his disappearance, after which a search was made but to no avail. Drake leaves one brother, Ira K. Drake of Oold Hill, and other rela tives in California. He will be burled in Kerby, whero ho formerly lived for some time. CCC CREW SENT Twenty-five trained forest fire fighters were drafted from the Wlmer CCC camp Friday night to help combat the Ingham Lumber company fire In CI lend ale.

At the requeft of Glendale au thorities, Medford fire department stood by to send sections of hone but was not called upon actually to provide the anBltanre. LOCAL FOLKS ON L JAUNT Word to friends here from Mr. and Mrs. John Orlbble. Medford residents who have been traveling in the Orient, indicates the couple left the 8lno-Japaneae war zone Just in time to escape the plight of hundreds of foreigners forced to flee Shanghai under fire. A letter from the Oribbles was received today, mailed from the Pres ident Jackson, the shfp on whlcb the Medfordltes sailed from Shang hai. They did not give the date of their sailing but stated they were to have landed In Seattle August 18. No further word has been received from them. Although active warfare was not under way while the Oribbles were In Shanghai, they report having seen numerous signs of serious war prepa rations. Their letter describes the Japanese warships anchored In the Shanghai harbor and ominous array of war equipment viewed at the Jap anese army headquarters. All evi dence, they stated, seemed to Indl cate a sudden assembling of ma terial. Leaving Shanghai, Mr. and Mrs. Orlbble made a abort trip Into Japan and there saw thousands of Japanese troops In uniform and on the march, apparently preparing to leave. Al though they probably were safely away before open hostilities began, their letter expressed certainty that active warfare could be expected soon. AGITATORS KEPT OUTSIDE-CAPITOL WASHINGTON.

Ford prices are low all along tbe line and the price of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 begins at the lowest figure in years. Ford prices have always been low and every dollar has brought you maxi mum value. , 2. Ford cars are economical to operate. . . . The 85-horsepower engine delivers its brilliant performance with remarkable economy. . . . The 60-horsepower engine gives the highest mileage in Ford history. Owners who keep careful records report averages of 22 to 27 miles per gallon. It's easy to prove these figures. Your Ford dealer will let you test a Ford "60" any time, anywhere. Remember that economy has been a Ford tradition for 34 years. Remember that more than 25 million Fords have been built. Remember that this matchless ex perience, plus fine materials, plus pre cision workmanship represent extra value. Then ask yourself) "Can I afford to overlook the double economy of low price anil more tulles in such a safe, roomy, modern car?" . . . There's a Ford dealer near you.
