WRING SPECKLED BIRDS NECK IS PASTOR'S WORD In his pulpit editorial discussion aa a prelude, Sunday night, the R. JTed M. Weathertord, paator of the Medford Church of the Nazarene, used as his topic, "Wringing the Necks of Speckled Birds." He read Scriptures from Proverbs 20:1: Pro verbs 23:20-84 and Habakkuk 3:15. Hla addresa In part waa as follows: When the prohibition law, or the Eighteenth Amendment, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages In the United States went Into affect In 1018, the distillers and brewers Imme diately laid plana to re-set tbetr old liquor hen. To fertility their hatch they went to the movies, the soft drink Joints, the newspapera, to tha State and National Legislative bodies, the theatera and to tha blind plga. It took several years to complete this process of fertilization, but when completed, they very modestly placed the eggs under the old ruffle-feathered brewing hen. It was In 1033 that ahe came off the nest with what they called a fine hatch, but they were all speckled birds. These ambitious fledglings consult ed with their grandparenta, the dis tillers and brewera, aa to the method of procedure In dispensing their wares. They finally fell upon thla plan: to set one of these birds up In business In the grocery store, another they put In partnership with the drug business; they bought part In terest In the hotela and restaurants, where they set up a third In business. They bought part Interest In the soda fountains for another. The fifth, they retained in the blind pig busi ness. That waa quite aufflclent for the retail business. They gave three others charge over the slate wholesale business and the other five they set up In business as the new distillers and brewera of malt and fermented llquora. Now we have these five Institutions selling the same old kind of liquor that the aaloon aold, only Intensifying Its dispensary agencies to damn, blight, contort, bleed, drstn and pol aon youth, aa well aa degrade our whole national moral and social structure. Making liquor accessible In these respectable places of business haa taken away the reproach of liquor purchases, such aa went with It through the old aaloon. Let ua take note of some of the atatlstlca aa to the progress of these "new Institutions that have displaced the old aaloon. The United 8tatea Department of Commerce gave the flgurea of con sumption In proof gallons of distilled spirits, wines and beera aa follows: Jn 1018, the last year of the old aaloon, 1,804,181,043 gallons. In 1020, tha first year of prohibition, 300,327. 180 gallons. In 1034. the first year after repeal, 1,087,187,448: in 1037. approximately 2,000,000,000 of gallons, which today makes approximately a half a billion more gnllona of liquor consumed than the last year before prohibition. It la intolerable that respectable citizens should be embarrasse I by the flssh of bottles and tha drinking of liquor, and drunkenness, on our high school athletic Held. The young Uvea .thnt are subjected to the Influence of this kind of example Is a matter that ahould receive regulatory disci pline, through the Board of Directors and those In official capacity. Thla la not the kind of atmosphere under which we desire to raise our children and educate them. The toll of young Ufa that la being taken through the modern, respect ablllzed, bottled brain poison and corrupter of morals deserves the at tention of respectable, thinking cltl rens snd parents to use the ballot In November to wring the nocks of all the speckled birds, that were set up In business with tha repeal of prohi bition and thua aava the boys and fine. Vote "yes" on No. 823, which will restrict the sale or all beverage llquora solely to the State Liquor Dispensaries. Adv. PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR D. A. V. SALE Upon the oocaslon of the annual D.A.V. forget-me-not sale, which will be conducted In thU city Friday and Saturday of thla week. Mayor Charles O. Furnas today laaued the following statement. "Generous support should be given by the citizens of Med ford to the forget-me-not sale Friday and Sat urday. Thla annual event, sponsored locally by the Jackson county chap ter, Disabled American Veterans of the world war, afford to alt the opportunity to repaying In a small measure the debt which thla com munity owes to those who sacrificed ao much In the service of this nation during the World war. "The people of this nation cannot express In adequate terms the np preclatlon of our citizenship for the devotion of those who served 30 years ago. We can, however, Indicate our deep feeling by supporting this sale of forget-me-nots. It becomes a community obligation to buy many of these little flowers, fashioned by the hands of those who suffered for us. "The fact that proceeds from this forget-me-not sale are used exclus ively for the rehabilitation of Dis abled American Veterans, and be cause this event offers the sole source of revenue for the advance ment of this essential program, all who live In this community should generously respond to thla appeal for support. "Aa mayor of Medford, t enthus iastically endorse this forget-me-not sale and earnestly commend It to the citizens of this city as a tangible meana of expressing our gratitude to those who were disabled In the service of this country r GUILTY BY JURY Clare Lawrence Walsh, Medford, waa found guilty today by a Justice court Jury of failure to ahow hla hunting license when requested to do so by a state police game warden.

At the time of the request Walsh waa In an auto enroute to hla home. The state was represented by Dis trict Attorney F. J. Newman and Walsh by Attorney Victor A. Teng- wald. In passing sentence Judge William R.

One day, at a fair, they saw a buggy with an engine in it.They saw many ways to improve it, and each decided to build an automobile. But when it came time to sell their first cars, OD and AD had different ideas. and the AUTOMOBILE How OD Tried to Sell His First Automobile OD invited all his friends and neighbors to his house. He drove his automobile around the block and gave them a ride. They were thrilled. They wanlid to buy it. But when they learned that it cost 83,000, not one of OD's friends could pay such a high price. How AD Sold 10 Automobiles AD had also spent nearly 3,000 in building fris first car. He knew that only a few people could afford so high a price, and to find them he must show his car to a great many. So he advertised that he would demonstrate his car the following Saturday after noon. People came from miles around. AD ran his car up and down the street. Afterward, ten men wanted it. AD told them that by making ten cars he could cut costs and reduce his price to 32,500. So he hired several men, rented a building, and started making more and better automobiles. How OD Finally Sold a Car OD heard that AD had sold ten cars, so he decided to try again. When his second car was finished, it had cost him almost as much as the first. He showed it to as many people as he could see and after a long time sold it for just about what it had cost him. In the new rive years OD built several more automobiles, hut always by the time his cars were finished AD was making better cars for lower prices. How AD Sold 10,000 Automobiles AD decided that if he could make car by the. hundreds, he could lower the cost and add still more improvements. So he appointed agents and adver tised in other cities. In this way he was able to tell the story of his car to thousands and thousands of people neither he nor his agents had ever seen. The more agents he appointed, and the more he adver tised, the more people came in to try hit car, and tha more cars he sold. And the more cart he built, the better he built them, and the less they cost. By 1911, AD was making such a good car for 81,500 that he sold 10,000 that year. Why OD Gave Up Trying to Sell Automobiles OD now saw that he could not possibly make cars at low cost by building only a few each year. Nor could he sell enouuh to make more by telling people about them one at a time. So he decided to go back to work as a mechanic. He applied at AD't factory and "-', promptly employed How AD Sold Millions of Automobiles AD now realized that there were millions of people who would buy hit automobiles if the prices won only lower. He also knew that if he could build hundreds of thousands of cart a year, he could make them better and at lest cost. So he enlarged his factory, employed more men, and advertised to millions of people all over the country. By 1921, ha was making a fine-looking car with a six-cylinder motor and t self-starter. And the price had been reduced to 81,000. AD's profit per car was now very tmall. But he told so many cars that hit business was successful. And, as prices became lower and lower, millions of people who had never dreamed they could afford autorrM biles were able to own and enjoy them. By 1938, AD was making the best and finest Vookint car he had ever built and the price waa only J750. '(SAP D Tells OD How It Came So Many Fam One day OD went into AD's office at the factory. OD laid, "Remember the time we saw the horsclets carriage at the fair? Who would have believed that in 30 years almost ever,- family would have an automobile!" AD said, "It never would have been possible without advertising. All the advances in manufacturing would have been futile without advertising to tell the story. As it helped ui to sell more and more cars, we were able to make them sc ill better and tell them at lower pricet. At a remit, the advantaei of an sutomobile are now C, rMt fm ftr I'll 111. IW an S About That ilies Now Have Automobiles enjoyed by people of small means just as they ire by the well-to-do." "But you spend millions for advertising," said OD. "Yes," said AD. "But we sell so many ears that our advertising costs only about $S per car. That is not much when you remember that in 30 years the average price of a car has been reduced by more than J1.500. So, advertising has really helped to tiiw prices and year after year has helped make it possible, for millions of people to have better cars for less money." ' Mr trim 1m l CfTt(M. t.fe. a U.
