MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1942. PAGE THREE HORSE AND MULE REGISTRATION IS SET FORGOUNTY Western Remount Head quarters Requests List County Agent Powered. a most desirable step in our de fense preparations. Registration of animals at this time is valun tary but obviously a patriotic obligation." Registration for military serv ice of all horses and mules in Jackson county, between the ages of three and 10 years, will be made by County Agent Rob ert G. Fowler, acting under in structions from the Western Army Remount headquarters at San Mateo, Calif. The registra tion to include Oregon, Califor nia, Nevada and Washington, ends January 10. Lt.-Col. F. W. Koester In charge of the registration, in a statement said: "Experience of the present war shows the horse and mule still essential for a variety of uses in modern armies. Ger many has thus far employed something like a million, Japan has used large numbers in China and Russia currently is winning large scale successes with mount ed units or units otherwise em ploying horses. "In our domestic life of the near future horses may be most vital. Curtailment of produc tion of power driven farm mach inery and transportation, restric tions on use of various fuels or lubricants, actual shortages of certain essentials, greater de mands on agriculture and similar conditions present or possibly Imminent, make future and greater importance of the horse likely. "America has more well bred useful horses and mules than any country in the world. We can use them and may need them anywhere anytime." Animal owners are asked to give age, color, whether riding ' or driving type, broken or un broken and whether or not necessary for owner's own use. The statement concludes: "It is desired to emphasize that this is not a draft of animal re sources and that it seems most unlikely this will ever be neces sary. When horses or mules are needed they will be purchased. Prompt registration of animals of a useful military age is simply LIVESTOCK Portland Portland. Ore., Dec. 2 JPl TJ. 8. Dept. Agr.)

(AP) Composure was the word for most stock market leaders to day in the face of discouraging, if hardly surprising, war news from the Philippines. While oils were relatively weak, some losing 2 points at the worst, mail orders revived, along with rails, steels, farm Im plements and assorted special ties. Gains of fractions to 2 or so predominated at the close. Transfers were around 450,000 shares. Today's closing prices for 34 selected stocks follow: Al. Chem. 4s Dye Unquoted Am. Can 63 A.

AluleMteaiiriwniCwae-oa Commant on Mr. Eldradga's Lattar . To the editor: Mr. Eldredge's communication of December 26th, shows he was on the right track eight or nine years ago, but it seems he was side-tracked. Now as I under stand the principles of the New Deal, It is supposed to give the people any and all the promises they want in exchange for their support when the government wants it, and as far as I can learn, our government has never broken any of the promises it has given, neither has it made any of them good, and as long as it doesn't try to make any of them good, how can it break any of its promises? Mr. Eldredge also leaves the Impression that Mr. Roosevelt knew there was going to be a war in Europe months ago. I didn't know there was any one who did not know it years ago, when we guaranteed to protect China and then let the Japs take Manchukuo we had to take It back so we could give It back to the Chinamen didn't we? Or are you contending that our word Is no better than our navy seemi to be. Now Brother, let me tell you this, our President had the known U. S. A. emblem on his Christmas dinner table, the lit tle white navy bean, but he didn't say he would eat any of them, so don't accuse him of something he did not do. As far as Mr. Churchill say ing he tells his people the truth, I'd like to remind you of this one. Our forefathers paid John Bull with their blood for the U. 8 A., Just because they re fused to pay the tax John Bull put on them, and we are giving it back to John Bull for a little I ot John Bull's bull. As you say we could all work I 'or our keep and take the profits out of war, so as not to leave ; a debt for our children to pay; oui it mai was done just how could our government control that on the meal tickets? I waived exemption in the world war and even was asked to buy my own clothes which I did, and have already signed over what 1 have accumulated since tha world war, that is, all but the mortgage on my place, for some reason the government didn't want that, but if I carry a gun In this one there will Just be an awful lot of congressmen and both 10, 15 and 120,000-a-year men In my company. Here's hoping that It won't be long before all the repre sentatives In Washington can have their places filled with women from the basement to the attic of the White House. (Signed) C. E.
