TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. August 23, 1944
THREE CREWS GO
TO FOREST FIRE
IN HUMBUG AREA
Crews of the tate forest pa
trol answered two fire calls yes
terday, one In the Applcuate
district and one in the Beagle
area, inside the Camp White
reservation, according to A. u.
McReynolds of the patrol.
First of the fires burned over
somo 25 acres on Humbug creek
and three crews were sent out,
one from Grants Pass, one from
Williams creek and one from
Medford. The blaze apparently
started in or near two old, aban
doned cabins, McReynolds stat-
ed, and an investigation is plan
ned. In addition to brush, the
fire destroyed some pole size
timber, he reported, but exact
damage cannot be determined
until later. Mopping up opera
tions are being continued today.
Second of the fires broke out
last evening and burned over
about 40 acres of brush and
grass. The state crew handled
the first control work and later
a crew from Camp White took
over. McReynolds was of the
opinion that a smoker started
the fire which broke out near
the road.

battlefield, but the Japanese

make a hen lay at least one egg
every day "without fail."

United Press.'San Francisco, re
ported:
"An egg-laying vitamin has
been discovered by Prof. Tatsuo
Koinaigi, after ten years of re
search. This vitamin insures that
a hen will lay one egg every day
without fail from any cause. A
part of a milligram of this new
discovery, when given to a hen,
will not fail to increase the egg
laying from the 5Cth day.
"Moreover, an inexhaustible
supply of this vitamin is obtain
able from the raw material of
the Insidcs of fish."
