S Table Rock-Fred Robinson
and H. C. High, two Medford
? businessmen representing the
I Gideons, were visitors at last
', Sunday's session of the local
' Sunday school. After close of
the study period they both
'? talked on the organizing and
: purposes of the Gideons, and
the number ot amies ais
; tributed each year by them
A collection taken at the door
: netted several dollars for the
, Gideon Bible fund. Both
' sneakers announced that they
were not preachers, but
preached sermons as good as
we have heard lor some lime,
i Pear picking, and nearly
i all harvest work has been
5 completed for the year, and
i preparations are being made
for putting in crops for next
' year. The pear crop yield was
t somewhat lighter than usual
; while other crops were aver-
' age, except for ensilage corn,
( which was damaged by an
, early Irost causing aDoui
third loss in weight.
According to Elwood Ab-
' bott, who attended the feeder
: cattle sale, at the Bill Bray
: auction yard, and also the
; regular Friday sale, cattle
i prices have taken an upward
: trend. Straus Bros, the Sams
t Valley farmers, dairymen, and

the market, with some of their

Miss Linda Doran, presiding.
After the secretary's report,
committees were appointed
for the Thanksgiving dinner,
the, date to be announced
later, An Impromptu program
of songs, readings, and a piano
solo was much enjoyed by all
Refreshments of cider and
doughnuts were served.
Mrs. Merrill B. Chase, who
died: recently in San Jose,
Calif., lived here with her
husband for 35 years, they
having bought a 40 acre tract
of land set to pears In 1009,
now a part of the Table Top
ranch! They built and resided
in the house now occupied
by the B. R. Voss family.
A man dressed in a long
flowing rob and sandals,' like
those worn In Bible times,
was a recent .visitor at our
place. "Dallas Purcell lives
with his wife and daughter
In the Beagle district. "
' Besides the attire, he has
his hair and beard arranged
to resemble the pictures of
Christ. He says he doesn't be
long to any church, but em
braces them all. He Is trying
to live like Christ lived, and
finds it easier to live that
way by dressing as Christ
dressed. His mission is to
work for peace and more love
in our nation, which he says
is badly needed at the present
time. No argument here. His
wne, wno dresses line omer
women, will be entitled to
wear the robes after sht has
put in the required time of
doing good to others.
No meat is eaten by Dallas,
as the 7th commandment,
thou Shalt not kill, means ani
mals as well as humani. He
said he would be a hypocrite
if he ate meat killed by a
butcher. Some of the things
in his diet are sunflower
seed, vetch fted ground and
mixed wTTh other seeds. He is
now working on a natural
cave in a cliff near their
home, which will be used to
live in, and store food in case
of a bomb attack. More about
this if we get time to explore
the cave. .
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Richard
son celebrated their 45th wed
ding anniversary Oct. 26 with
a dinner at a Medford hotel,
and a drive to Jacksonville
past the George Gardner
home, where they were mar
ried 45 years ago.
To those non-Grangers who
have been asking about the
State Grange s recommenda
tions on measures to be voted
on, try to borrow a Grange
bulletin from your neighbor,
but we will try to get them
in next week s column.
