The state high school football

everything else in this world, Is
messed up, mussed up, scram

The Grover Cleveland Corum

Japan was working on an
"atomic bomb" during the war.

Farmers report rain Is needed
to do the fall plowing. The
farmer or his oldest boy gener
ally does it, however.

The auto driving around here
Is getting scandalous and reck'
less. The Oregon law permits
the motorists to establish their
own speed limit and most of It

The British foreign secretary

American cash Is forthcoming.
There is considerable reticence
among the voters about financ

The Dick Phalr boy, Dick, has

on his noggin, and Is running

This Is the last day for shoot

Gen. MncArthur has ordered
all Japanese civilians to t.ur-1

the promiscous shooting going
on, It would not bo a bad Idea
on the home front.
a e a
No interest In politics Is vis

patriot is showing any symp
toms of running for something
in the spring.

The Les Taylor boy. Bob of

Your Help Still Needed
The eighth and last of the great campaigns to ftv
duce Americans to loan their money to their govern'
ment for footing the bills of World War II gets under
way Monday. The national goal is eleven billion dol
lars: our share, here in Jackson county, is $1,400,000,
with $525,000 to be subscribed by E bond buyer
Some people may ask : "Why do we need to buy
war bonds now; The war is over.
The answer is simple. The war will NOT be
over until every fighting man not essential to national
security or needed for occupational jobs is back in
civilian life; until every war plant is converted to pur
suits of peace. The war is not over until every wound
ed or sick veteran has been adequately hospitalized
and every war contract terminated.
a a
A BRAHAM LINCOLN'S words at the close of the
" Civil War apply to this Victory Loan drive : "Let
us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up
the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have
borne the battle."
Another hard sock must also be taken at the still
serious threat of inflation. The OPA is fighting a
difficult rear-guard action against rising prices. It
is still possible that a disastrous inflation, kindled by
the friction of huge mass buying power against prices
of scarce goods, may burn up large portions of that
buvine power. Monev invested in Victory Bonds will
divert some of the purchasing power from the con
sumer goods market and weaken the menace of in
flation. This makes bond buying necessary.
a e e a
THE previous seven war loans have spread Hie own
ership of the national debt and increased the por
tion of the nation's wealth held by the people gener
ally. In the words of Oregon's young and energetic
war loan chief, Ted Gamble, this is "an insurance
policy written around the American way of life."
And, in these seven drives, Jackson county people
have bought about 25 million dollars worth of all type
war Donas more man iu minion uonars m
bonds. Here is a vast reserve of local wealth that is
certain to spell prosperity here for years to come !
THE Victory Loan campaign will be conducted by
the Medford and Ashland Elks lodges, under the
able leadershio of County Chairman Henry Zachari-
sen. -The Elks deserve the gratitude of this com
munity for assuming this task; citizens here have long
been errateful to Zacharisen for his patriotic effort
and energetic direction of past drives.
. a a e a e
THESE Victory bonds are today, just as U. S. bonds
Vioirn oluroira Kaon tho wnrlrl's hpsr. and safest in-
vestment. It is a responsibility of every good citizen
to share in the cost of victory by buying Victory bonds
to the very limit of his ability. H.C.
Milk for the Navy
With a serious shortage of milk at the Navy hos
pital at Camp White, Captain H. B. La Favre appeal
ed to the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Fri
day for assistance from this community. Cooperation
in solving the critical problem was sought from local
milk processors and promptly extended.
a a a a a
THE milk supply to the average hospital should be
approximately one quart per person each day.
Only half of the required amount was available, anci
that had to be spread over many needs milk for bed
patients, special cooking,- preparation of custards,
cream soups, etc., which left just enough to serve with
cereals on breakfast menus. Convalescents and staff
members were deprived of fresh milk and have been
forced to resort to powdered milk.
OF course, this community couldn't allow this con
dition to exist. Local dairymen who process the
major portion of our milk supply should be commend
ed for their willingness to speedily correct this situa
tion. When the volume of milk produced here norm
ally increases the shortage will be automatically les
sened.
BUT, until that time comes, any local citizen who
may not be able to get that extra quart of milk
from his eroeer should bear in mind that some sailor
at Camp White, who really needs fresh milk every
day, is getting it. H.u. .
in the American revolution and were burled there, Marcus Whit
ney, Amos Merritt, Jasper Endicott. And there they have been
for over 150 years! No bonus for them, not even a mention In
history, merely in the files probably of the Sons of the American
Revolution!
Going out we noticed a metal marker which had not been
observed going in, and thus learned the graveyard had originally
been the site of a hospital In the revolutionary war and later of
St. Mark's church, the latter now housed In a marvelous and
modern stone edifice near the Mt. Kisco post-office. There tco,
Colonel Tarleton the iniquitous red coat! gathered his forces
for the attack on Poundridge and Bedford in 1779, and there Major
Andre the traitor was for a time confined. Only a short distance
away is the Guard Hill road, where the Boys of '76 with their
flint-lock muskets watched for the British regulars as the latter
advanced north after their victory at White Plains.
For some reason, not entirelv rlpar Him mil
sign along the highway seemed even more ancient and more strik
ing evidence of the dim and distant Dast. a bnarrl-cien with
corseted figure of a grand-dame in a Victoria, a coachman high
above her on the box, a coach-dog bounding in the dust in the
rear and a tiny parasol in the lady's outstretched hand, only por
tions of the horses in front being visible. And down below we
could barely make out In ancient lettering:
"The Rayborn Inn. Open the year around. Luncheons 75c to
80c dinners 85c to $1.25."

Mt. Kisco, N. Y Oct. 21 Back In the country, and a beauti
ful country too. Returned via Greenwich, Conn, (pronounced
Gren-ITCH) and Bedford Village, N. Y., largely a collection of
luxurious country estates, ranging all the way from well-kept
stock farms to towering chateaus, reminding one of France. How
tastes differ! Why should ANYONE, for example, wish to build a
replica of the White House In this beautiful pastoral land, and
surround it with a 10-foot stone fence, with wrought-iron gates'
e a a a
The battery of the car went dead as we entered Greenwich,
and the starter, of course, died with it. Lady-Luck was with us
this time, however, for only two blocks away we spied a service
station. and a good one. Instead of having to buy a new bat
tery, the garage man hooked our old one to a gadget on wncels
and In an hour everything was OK. At least he said It was.
A friend at our hotel, however, who knows more about cars
than we do (no one could know less) maintains this method of
renewing a battery Is a risky and unsatisfactory. makeshift. Well,
we shall see, WHAT we shall sec.
Stopped to get a coke at a Greenwich drug store and noted
the store has been In operation since 1861. Perhaps some of tne
boys In blue en route to Gettysburg were refreshed there. but
hardly on coke. (What WERE tho popular civil-war drinks?)
That is one of the charms of this section of the country of
course, its age, the historical points of Interest, the traditional
atmosphere, In short tho deep social roots going far down to the
very beginning of the country.
Only a short distance from this hotel for example (It ts two
miles out of town) is a cemetery, which we often pass when walk
ing to and fro.
With some time to spare we strolled through It and In one
corner ran into three moss-grown headstones, the letterma hmr'v
legible, marking the final resting places of three boys who fought

he may
Dr. Brady laugh at
the pa'-ent for coming with
such a trivial complaint.
2. If the doctor is a successful
business man with the re
putation of having a large
practic? to maintain, he
may listen pstiently and
k.iowingly to the patient's
fatuous displey of inside
knowledge of "nerves"
and ladle out a line of
sympathy to the poor geek,
and se-id the patient away
no wisoi than r-efore with a
prescription for the latest
fancy sedative or "nerve
tonic" Ten dollars. Re
port a' 2 next week.
3. If the doctor is a good doc
tor he may interrupt the
pitlent s explanation of his
or her trouble to say: Yes,
yes but let's leave nerves
and nervous exhaustion out
of it while we try to find
out what la the matter.

a clue to the trouble and
perhaps corrtct the nutri

hanlt or the error in
hygiene that causes the
trouble.

chronic diseases that too

"nerves" or "neurasthenia"
but this being a health
column I shall not name
any such desjase. I've said
all I think a roctor should

haven't frightened or wor
