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.
The call for help was received
about 7 p. m. and the men left
shortly thereafter. Their services
wero not required, however, and
they returned without going on tho
fire lines.
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.

ECONOMY
LOW
FORD
DELIVERED
PRICES
In tlie maze of motor car economy claims,
two indisputable facts stand out.
1. 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.
