Twice in the past week we
have had to crawl into a white
shirt and act like we were
sophisticated enough to enjoy
it. Last Saturday at 2 p.m. we
attended the wedding of Miss
Shirley McCallister and Carl
Vanderpool in the Community
Bible church at Central Point.
The church was filled with
friends who witnessed a beau
tiful ceremony which joined
Shirley and Carl in holy wed
lock. The happy couple is
spending their honeymoon at
Grand Canyon, and we join
with their many friends in
wishing them much happiness.
Saturday night w at
lopded the Roosevelt Me
morial dinner; in Medford,
and after partaking of a
sumptuous dinner, listened
to" in usual excellent pro
gram. Among the many fea
tures we heard repeated
gain the magic words of
President Roosevelt, "we
have nothing to fear but
fear itself." At that time it
elemed our country was
about to go into a tail spin.
ana we wen rememoer
what effect it had on re
storing courage and, confi
dence to all the people.

: during our conversation made
a terrific mistake by asking
1 Mrjj. Hanlin if Paul hadn't

plied that she didn't know
how we could imagine that, as
he iad always been a Demo
crat. She said that when Alf
Landon ran against Roosevelt

; didn't get a single vote in their
precinct.

One who has been around
thelj Rogue valley for three

v reflections as time marches on
and old friends and acquaint

vide. One of these occasions
was the recent passing of
Geroge Dunn, who we highly
reSDected for his friendlv in
telligent ways, high sense of
humor and unbiased opinions
of'others. We have a picture of
Oregon legislators in the 1895
session. Jackson county was
represented in the lower house
byGeorge Dunn, S. M. Nealon
and John Jeffrey, and in the
senate by S. H. Holt. We have
been told that at that time
Jackson county had two sena
tors, but tnere is only one in
the-"picture. George Dunn was
a Republican, Jeffrey, Nealon
' and Holt were Populists or
members of the People s party.

and his wife.' Linda. Later
they were luncheon guests
at our house. Mrs. Stafford
was raised in Michigan but
likes our state much better.
She enjoyed holding the
bottle while .our bummer
lamb gulped his dinner.
Many years ago, when my
folks had not been in this
valley very long, I heard
mother tell that while doing
the supper dishes one night
she heard a blood curdling
scream much like that of a
terrified woman. After a
moments pause there was
another somewhat closer, then
at regular intervals the
screams were heard closer
each time until it seemed that
the maker of the screams
passed the house. Then they
became dimmer, finally fad
ing out completely. Mother
knew very little about coug
ars, but the neighbors told her
that what she heard was a
cougar going from Upper
Table Rock down the line
fence that wasabout 50 yards
irom our nouse to the river. .
After reading Almus Pruitt's
communication about scream
ing cougars, we decided to
check with Kerby Tant, the
government trapper. We
thought that information he
could give us about cougars
would be like getting it right
from the cougar's mouth. But
unfortunately, for those who
believe cougars scream, Kerby
has never heard one, although
he has killed dozens of the
beasts. He has caught and
made pets of young ones,
which at times would make a
sort of whistling noise.
Since this was written,
Kerby was down this way,
checking on some coyote
complaints. He tells me that
he never heard a cougar
scream, but firmly believes
they did in past years. Many
old timers have told of in
stances where they were in
close quarters with scream
ing cougars.

GOOD ADVERTISING
REALLY SELLS!
When you tell them, they know. But when you
sell them, they buy! And buying makes the
difference in your business profits. '
Apply this same thinking to your advertising.
A listing in a business directory tells the pub
lic that you're in business. A timely, pointed
ad in the Mail Tribune Classified Section tells
'em . . . and sells 'em! A Want Ad shows the
customers that you have what they want right
now . . . and gives them good reasons for buy
ing it right now.
When you have something to, sell . . . use the
advertising medium that knows the difference
between telling and selling. Use the Want Ads
. . . they make the profitable difference!
