Nifty work
' at the
crossroads
By the way and are we up
to tricks! how many m-p-a are
you getting these days? Miles-per-accident
that is. How many
miles has the old bus gone, for
instance, since last you bashed a
fender? 50 miles? 6,000 miles?
50,000 miles?
And how does that compare
now you see what we're up
to ! with the 100,000 m-p-a we
got the last year? A statistician
would tell you that 100,000
miles will take you much more
" than a third of the way to the
moon. But what a place to have
an accident that would be!
We'd rather think of 100,
000 m-p-a as about 100 un
scathed trips between Portland
and Los Angeles a route along
which the garages are thicker
and the tow-cars more conven
iently located.
This record Is the combined
achievement of all our people
and all our vehicles passen
ger cars and trucks of every
type. For millions of motorists
whose driving runs about 10,
000 miles a year, it's the equiv
alent of 10 years without
smack.
For our people It means
careful driving in cities, in
mountains, In deserts every
where. It means safe driving by
day and by night. It means
caution in good weather and
in bad. It means alertness at
countless Intersections good
work at I zillion crossroads.
For some of this accom
plishment some credit can ba
given the company's long effort
to promote safety. But the men
and women who showed the
courtesy and care and consider-Btion-for-others,
which means
safety on the highways, were
the employees who drove those
millions of miles to averags
100,000 miles-pcr-accident.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
. Ill
TOM: "It's mighty nice to receive a com
pliment like you've just given us, Judge. We
do take our responsibilities very seriously
and try to do the right thing with every,
body. In spite of it, we get criticized now
and then."
0IO JUDGE: "I know ... you've got to
take the bitter with the tweet in times like
these. Speaking of criticism, and I mean
really unfair criticism, reminds me of the
spirit beverage business."
FRANK: "How Is that. Judge?"
Service In Spanish-American
War Is Told In Old Letters
American servicemen In the
Philippines during the Spanish
American war at the turn of the
century wrote about much the
same topics that they do now,
if the letters of one Oregon vol
unteer are an indication. Let
ters from Pvt. James E. Grieve
of Jackson county, who served
with Company G, Oregon Volun
teers, and recently found by
members of the family while
sorting over family papers, are
about the natives, the climate,
his buddies and superiors in the
army, and battle conditions,
with every letter urging his re
latives to write oftener.
First of the letters is dated
Oct. 29, 1898, and was written
en route on board the steamer
Senator in Honolulu harbor to
Pvt. Grieve's father, John
Grieve, Central Point. He wrote,
"They have held us in pretty
close since we came alongside
but I have been quite fortunate
in getting passes, and have never
let an opportunity escape to
ward seeing all that was to be
seen. Have been out in the coun
try two or three miles among
the banana and cocoanut groves
and as much of it as I have seen
is what most people would call
a paradise." In this letter Pvt.
Grieve wrote of visiting a family
he had met, stating that the
white husband was married to a
native woman.
First of the letters from the
Philippines was dated Jan. 9,
1899, and was written to his
younger brother, Ludo, now liv
ing in Prospect and chief opera
tor of the Copco plant there.
"We have no winter here at all,
and I don't even wear an under
shirt," he wrote. Most of the
little boys your size run around
in their shirt tails and seem to
be quite happy. There is one
little fellow about your age who
does little odd jobs for me, such
as blacking my shoes, washing
my dishes, etc. Says he is go
ing to America with me."
A brief note March 23, writ
ten from Manila, stated that Pvt.
Grieve was with the "regulars"
and that the outfit was going to
march for Mololos, the insurgent
capital. On April 14 the soldier
wrote "in the field" this time
to his sister, Mrs. H. C. Little of
Central Point, later Mrs. Tom
Harriott of the Applegate, stat
ing that he was out of the hos
pital after promising the doctor
"I'd take good care not to get
overheated again." He wrote
that the American troops were
In possession of the insurgent
capital and described a night at
tack by the Insurgents in which
six men had been killed, and
the counter-attack the next day
by companies "G," "K," "B" and
"I." "We drove them back from
the town and then burned every
thing in our retreat," he wrote.
In this letter, Pvt. Grieve also
wrote about the company get
ting a shot at Aguinaldo, the
guerilla leader, adding that he
escaped, stated that the company
expected to be sent to Malolos
and that he had received letters
"but the Medford Mails failed to
arrive."
Writing May 9, 1899, to his
future sister-in-law, Katie M.
Fries, Pvt. Grieve said he had
received six letters that day,
making him feel "exceedingly
frisky." The company had been
on the march for several days,
he wrote, and the last town cap
tured was Baluag. "Since we
started out there has been seven
men wounded and three killed,"
RATION BOARD
OLD JUDGE: "Simply this... can you
think of any other business in which the
seller is responsible for what the buyer does
with his merchandise? If a person eats too
much cake and gets indigestion, the baker
isn't blamed. Nor is the coffee merchant
criticized if someone drinks too much coffee
and can't sleep. But the seller of spirit bev
erages gets blamed plenty if one of hit cus
tomers overindulges. Doesn't teem quite
fair, does it, Tom?"
TOM: "Frankly, it doesn't, Judge. We've
never looked at it that way before."
Taif atfMrffoawsf tpmamti sy Cltmn AteMk Bmtffl tmtmOrlm, as.
he wrote, "but only four of the
number were Oregon boys."
The writer said the Oregon
regiment now belonged to Gen.
Lawton's brigade and "our col
onel has charge of one division
of artillery, one troop of mount
ed cavalry, seven companies of
the Oregon regiment and eight
companies of the 13th Minnesota
regiment."
Continuing he wrote, "The
man whom I admired the
greatest as a fighter has fallen
and in my estimation no man in
the whole island of Luzon can
fill his position. He is the only
man I ever saw that I could
have fearlessly followed to the
mouth of the cannon and taken
pride In so doing and when Col.
Stotsenberg of the First Nebras
ka regiment went down, so did
one of the most gallant heroes of
either of the two last wars."
In the last letter, written May
15 at San Maguil, Pvt. Grieve
described the closing days of the
war. "This is the place we ex
pected to find the niggers well
fortified and were laboring un
der the impression that we had
two or three cannon to face, but
as it was, 18 men (the Scouts)
succeeded in routing over 1,000
of the enemy forces with the
loss of only one man wounded.
Had the entire American forces
been sent against the place, as
was the intention, perhaps our
losses would have been in the
hundreds.
"The Scouts were only sent
out to reconnoiter and learn the
lay of the country when in about
four hours an orderly came
dashing up with the -information
that the Scouts had taken
the city and were holding their
positions until reinforcements
should arrive. I'll tell you, it
is a fine joke on the officers.
We hear that we are to go aboard
the transport in two or three
weeks and start for the U. S.
and I haven't heard a one say
they were sorry except a few of
the officers who never made
more than 50 cents a day prior
to receiving their commissions."
The writer of the letters re
turned safely home and for
many years lived in Prospect
where he and his wife operated
a resort. He passed away about
15 years ago and his widow con
tinues to operate the hotel end
resort.

Ten Don'ts
Babson Discusses Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate and Churches
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Mass., June 1.
(Special Correspondence).
1. Don't let any possible re
conversion slump frighten you.
In certain industries there must,
of necessity, be some unemploy
ment while switching over from
war to peace work; but in most
cases this slump will be only
temporary. With it there will be
a decline in the earnings of some
companies but, after a readjust
ment for excess profits taxes,
this should not be troublesome.
2. Don't buy the new low-
coupon rate long-term bonds
which are now being issued.
Money rates will continue low
for only a short time. The pendu
lum always has swung and is
going to continue to swing.
Many bonds now selling on a
3lA basis will some time again
be selling on a 6 basis. Much
lower prices for fixed interest
securities are Inevitable.
3. Don't hold second-grade
railroad securities any longer;
but now take your profits. This
applies to most railroad stocks
and certainly to railroad income
bonds which are now selling at
fantastic prices. Railroad net
earnings are headed for a severe
postwar slump which will prob
ably last many years.
4. Don't sell the general stock
market. The Dow-Jones Indus
trial Averages will surely sell
for more some time during the
next twelve months than they
do at the present time. This
probably also applies to many
utility stocks. I am especially
bullish on the chain store stocks.
I also like some of the convert
ible preferreds which should
combine reasonable safety with
speculative possibilities.
5. Don't wait too long before
buying the land upon which you
hope to some day build a home.
I don't like big commercial farm
properties and am rather scary
about city property; but well
located suburban land both for
homes and Small farms should
be much higher as soon as build
ing restrictions are removed.
6. Don't forget that inflation
is with us and is bound to be
more with us .during the yean
ahead. The $25 billions of cash
in the pants' pockets, cash draw
ers and "socks" of the American
people, an Increase of 300 over
prewar figures, will surely cause
a postwar stampede for new
houses, new furniture and new
gadgets of all kinds. When you
consider that the supply of good

stocks and. bonds is even less
than it was during prewar days,
we are bound to see higher stock
prices due to this inflationary
situation.
7. Don't get hipped on any
thing or anybody. Remember
every locality, industry, job,
home, investment, yes, and re
ligion, has its advantages and
disadvantages. Be tolerant and
listen to the other fellow. Mix
play and work, thrift and spend
ing, friends and enemies, all in
proper proportion. The same
need for diversification in con
nection with investments is ne
cessary for one's good character,
health, Income and happiness.
8. Don't be skimpy on money
spent for education of yourself
or your children. If, in the years
to come, the shadow of Russia
ever falls on the United States,
those who are experts in any one
subject will have nothing to
fear. Hence, the Importance of
having your children educated
and trained to hold some neces
sary position under all economic
conditions.
9. Don't neglect the churches
after the war is over. We talk
about "fox-hole religion" among
the Servicemen, but there are
many more fox-holes here In the
United States than there are
abroad. The churches will espe
cially be entitled to your attend
ance and support after this glo
bal warfare has come to an end.
See that you then repay the
churches for what they are now
doing for you and your families.
10. Don't forget that you are
going to die some time. Not only
take care in making your will
but keep it up to date through
the proper use of codicils. Too
many people sacrifice their lives
by hard work and thrift to oc
cumulate some money; but give
almost no thought to how the
money is to be used after they
go. This means give more
thought to the use of forming
trusts for your heirs and others.
Your local banker will give you
good suggestions, free of charge;
concerning such trusts.

Social Security
Card Should Be
Shown Employer
With many returning service
men entering the labor market
for the first time, and with
students getting jobs In the com
ing holidays, Howard J. Nelson,
manager of the Klamath Falls
office of the Social Security
board, advises all workers "to
show their social security ac
count card to every employer for
whom they work."
This is essential to protect the
worker's wage record, which is
maintained under his name and
number for his future monthly
insurance benefits, Mr. Nelson
points out.
In stressing this point of one
number for a worker's lifetime,
Mr. Nelson said that employers
are required to report each
worker's wages, under both his
name and number to the govern
ment every three months. Then
these wages are credited by the
Social Security board on each
worker's individual ledger sheet,
under both his name and num
ber.
