We have recently received some more evidence con
firming our claim that the city of Grants Pass was
named for General U. S. Grant, but we are not going
to dig this up again. However, we are going to submit
this supposedly true story to brace up our opposition
to capital punishment. We all know that in early days
horse stealing called for the death penalty. According
to this recorded story, in a California community, a
mob hanged a man for supposed horse stealing, but
afterward discovered he was innocent. The mob's mes
senger broke the news to the victim's widow in this
manner. "We hanged Jim for stealing a horse, but came
to find out he didn't do it, so I guess the joke's on us."
Mr. and Mrs. John Morris have moved from Central
Point to the Morris ranch, where they expect to reside
permanently. Richard and wife are occuping a room at
the Table Rock store for the present.
The recent Mail Tribune story about the Chautauqua
building in Ashland reminds us of attending a meeting
there when Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, preached
a sermon to an audience that packed the house. When
he began to get warmed up in his fight with the "devil",
he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and really
made the rafters ring.
This recent news item might be interesting to those
who voted for repeal to do away with bootlegging:
"Bootleg whiskey makes up more than one fifth of all
the whiskey sold in the United States, state liquor agents
were told here Wednesday. Victor Aldrige, chairman
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control commission, says the
best information available shows that more than 50
million gallons of bootleg whiskey on which no taxes
were paid was sold last year. Walter Noack, another
member of the liquor control commission, says liquor
sales to minors is the biggest problem we have today."
During the campaign to repeal the prohibition amend
ment, several interested local people went about the
county making four minute talks against the repeal. We
remember talking to a group of people. After we had
finished, a nice old lady said if she knew it would
work out as we said she would surely vote against
repeal, but she was told that all the young people were
getting bootleg liquor and that many people were going
blind. We tried to tell her she couldn't compromise with
the liquor interests, so the repeal measure carried, and
we are reaping the results.
Mrs. Violet Hamilton has received word of the death
of her stepfather, L. R. Gregory, on Friday, Dec. 11, at
Roseburg, Oregon.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lewis, and children, of Winston,
Oregon, spent Thanksgiving day here with Mrs. Lewis's
mother at the Violet Hamilton home.
Speaking of people getting taken in by those who
work only for profit, we heard this from the Sams Valley
mechanic: He had himself fitted with eye glasses, at a
cost of some $50. These proved to be poorly made and
worthless to him. When he took them back to get an
adjustment, or his money, he was told an adjustment
would cost him. $26 more. So this conversation ensued:
"When Jessie James went out to hold up someone, he
had a horse and a gun. You have neither but do a better
job of robbing people than he did." The glass man was
sullen and as the mechanic's blood pressure began to
rise he said, "Such swindlers as you ought to be torn
apart, and if you give me any back talk, I might just
do it." Here they parted. To protect other people in this
business, we will mention that this fly by night is not
in the valley any more.
Thought for the day J. H. Creager of the Bell Tele
phone Co. says even though the company sends in the
check, our customers foot the tax bill. We hope Copco
realizes this also, and that the farmer feeds them all.

How to save money
and help make sure
of sunny days
to sp end it
r . ,. . . .
is I tv -ihl
This man claims thai our free system ban
no future. An important way we can prove
him wrong is to keep strong financially
as individuals and as a Nation.
When you put your savings
in U.S. Savings Bonds, you
do more than save for a
rainy day. You also help
make sure of "sunny days"
ahead to spend that money
in.
The money you save isn't
going to do you much good
unless you have the freedom
to spend it. Freedom to use it
as a down payment on a new
home of your own, for ex
ample. Or a college educa
tion for your children.
You see, while U.S. Sav
ings Bonds are earning inter
est for you, Uncle Sam put
your dollars to work in the
interest of freedom. Every
dollar you invest helps
strengthen our economy here
at home; helps our Nation
stand up. for freedom all over
the world.
And then your money '
comes back to you ... $4
for every $3 you invest
when your Series E Bonds
mature.
You can put your savings
to work doing double duty by
buying Savings Bonds at
your bank ... or on the
Payroll Savings Plan where
you work. Why not look
into it now?
Keep freedom In your future with
U.S. SAVINGS BONDS
