Startled by an approaching car, be suddenly 8ew straight through a window-pane into a rest-room. It's too bad he couldn't ap preciate bis immaculate and well appointed surroundings, for a duck never used a more praiseworthy rest-room for any purpose whatev er. But that win dow blow befuddled him so that he needed some trifling first-aid from Manager J. F. Beany before he could fly away. Brother Duck has not been back. Yet we feel secure in the claim that since seeing our rest room ht has visaed no other. That's the attitude of thousands of motorists who long ago be came convinced that if anything in the way of service is worth while, Standard will provide it. This is an assumption not the result of accident but of experi ence. When the public takes for granted that in services as well as products Standard will al ways be equal to the best that's reputation. Since a busi ness concern can have no greater asset, it's our constant aim to live up to the great expectations of the public Standard Oil Company of California Medford Couple Wed In Nevada Word received In Medford to day from Reno, Nevada told of the marriage on July Fourth of Mrs. Geraldine Gould, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nt C.

It was thought that the school should have a good instructor, that each packing plant should furnish a small percentage of their Bart letts each day while the school was In session. It is estimated 20.000 boxes of Bartletts will be packed through the school. Superinten dent of the school was to have no connection with any packing plant, and the fruit was to be marketed under a neutral wrap and label, An advisory board was to be appointed for the school. With fruit packed and labels on, it was then to be out of the hands of the school and ready for mar keting. It was thought the school should conduct a three year program to sufficiently pre pare students. Mr. Hendncksen s report was accepted and all agreed that val ley people only should be ac cepted as students. Jobs Assured Heads of packing plants agreed to use the student packers and a revolving fund of $500 was voted to start the school In the project the Rogue River Traffic association joined with the Fruit Growers' league in making funds available to start this morning.

Odd bits of paper and other burnable trash had collected under the gratings along the side of the building and some one evidently dropped a match or cigarette into the grate as he passed by. Chief Elliott said. Smoke from the blaze was drawn into ventilators and cir culated through the building where the odor of burning ma terial was still noticeable late the bill, which proposes regis tration of all males from 18 to 65, would oppear tomorrow.
