Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH The story of the Message to Garcia is a classic in the history of daring military exploits. The incident would probably have passed unnoticed if Elbert Hub bard had not written the account to promote his printing business and as a lesson in carrying a Dick Wesferburg Is Named Manager For Dairy League Dick Westerburg. Ashland dairyman, was named manager of the Jackson County Milk Pro ducers league at a recent meet ing, it was announced Saturday. Westerburg has been presr dent of the league. He was suc ceeded, following an election this month, by Clarence C. Wil liams, Ashland. Former manager for-the league, who resigned in December, was William Auel, t Medford. Other officers include Delbert Mongold, Eagle Point, vice-presi dent; W. E. Davies, Eagle Point, . reelected secretary, and Albert Huener, Jacksonville, and K. R Bitterling, Eagle Point, members of the board. Frank Dancer was' elected to replace Westerburg on the board of directors. Reports On Convlave At the meeting, reports were 3 made on the recent Dairymen's convention at Bend which he attended. Victor Birdseye, Med ford dairyman, attended from here and told dairymen that milk sales in Jackson county have increased markedly in the past two months, for the first time in some ZVz years. He at tributed this to several reasons, among them increased use of promotion and advertising, and , he also mentioned the fact that both Medford . milk distributors tore now using half--gallon car tons, which he said may : be an other factor in the increased jales of milk. Dairymen at Bend indicated that no new milk control legis lation will be sought at this ses sion of the legislature.

The man who carried the mes sage from President McKinley to the Cuban General Garcia in the Spanish American war was Lieut. Andrew Summers Rowan. He went through the Spanish lines disguised as an English sportsman. A sequel to that story is re lated by "Jerry" Girard, recrea tion director at Camp White. Jerry claims it is authentic, and since he comes originally from Tennessee where the incident occurred, it may be no more than a twice told tale. The part of the country where North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee converge is populated by what ethnologists claim are the real Anglo-Saxons. They have their own version of their native English language and they have ideas of their own. of what is law and what am t. They live for : the most part in the Blue Ridge mountains, and in addition to "mountain music' they concoct their own "moun tain dew. The region is honeycombed with illicit stills, so classified by the department of internal revenue. The same Lieutenant Rowan he was probably a cap tain by this time was sent into the district to locate some of these stills. "He managed to get fairly deep into the mountain country," Jerry says. "But he had no idea where to go to find what he was looking for, since the operations were hidden. He encountered a native' who seemed well in formed about the business and he offered to pay him to furnish directions. "After a little bargaining the boy agreed - to show him the trail for a $50 fee. He escorted the party to an opening in the woods and told them to follow the path until they came to a large spring near the top and there they would find the still, "Rowan and the men started off but the boy called after them, Tfou forgot to pay me the $50.' . "Oh, I'll pay you when we come back," the famous army officer retorted. .'.... VYou better pay me now," the boy demanded, extending his palm. You ain't comin back." ,The party must have gotten back safely beoause Major Row an finished his Army career in San Frincisco some few years later. "Cliff" Barry tells a story of his banking days in a lumber town in Oregon adjoining an Indian reservation. As in all small town banks it is necessary to be versatile not only in hand ling the business, of the hank but in contacting the public. In this instance Barry was called upon to compose an ad. "Come to the Grand Run Bank. If you have money we want it. If you want money we have it." This, he thought, would bring them in. A few days after the ad ap peared an Indian and his squaw ambled up to the window and asked Barry for some of the money. Barry made the usual in quiries about collateral and found there was none. When the request was refused the Indian seemed chagrined. "You said in the paper if you want money we have it. Me and my squaw would be very happy to have some of that money." ..Two out - of -three . of the world's radio hams are Ameri cans, the National Geographic society says.

Unemployed Porpoise Trainers Found Rare Miami; Fla. flJ.PJ After four weeks in which a "help wanted" advertisement in a theatrical publication failed to disclose a single job applicant, the Marine Studios of Marineland, Florida, sadly announced that the rarest thing in the United States is an unemployed purpoise trainer. Several years ago the Florida "oceanarium" decided that its show should include an act in which purpoise jump through hoops, ring bells, raise flags and go. through other routines previ ously reserved for seals and monkeys. Through trial and er ror, a trainer finally was suc cessful in teaching the aquatic mammals to become peformers. However, the ; extensive re hearsals required, plus five shows a day seven days a week, proved too much of a task for one man. A decision was reached to hire an assistant to share the training load. t-' t "It's the Service I Like" Whenever I go into the Rogue Valey State Bank, whether it's to get financial advice or to cash a check I always feel at home.
