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

. 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.

task to completion.
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."

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.

Said Personal Matter
Berkeley, Calif. U.R) Uni
versity 'of California professors
are coming to. the conclusion
that tfie juvenile delinquency
problem is largely a personal
matter. - '
Dr. T. R. " Saroin, associate
professor of psychology at the
University's Berkeley campus,
and a research assistant, Donal
S. Jones, released a preliminary
report on their studies which

mechanical ability - that ' is apt
to be hampered when pressured;
