Monthly Meeting of Fruit Exchange.

MoHtnly meeting OF Fruit Exchange.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Rogue River Fruit Exchange
took place at the Commercial Club
rooms on Thursday at 2:30 in the
afternoon. President Will Scoville
presided and R. Thomas occupied his
desk as recording secretary. After
the reading of the minutes, reports
of committees were called for and
following this was a talk by G. A,
Hover, president of the Medford
fruit growers union. He spoke of
the efforts that were being made in
Washington to prevent the passage
of the notorious La Fean bill. He
spoke particularly of the work being
done by c. E. Whistler, of Medford,
who is now in Washington in behalf
of the Rogue River valley. The lat
est report was the the effect that
the bill would not pass in its pres
ent shape as some strong men in
congress have become convinced of
the unfairness of the measure.
j. F. Burke and H. T. Pritchard
were appointed committee to raise
$50 as the exchanges share of the
expense of sending Mr.. Whistler to
Washington in the interest of an
equitable fruit package bill.
w. NJ Hair gave a report of the
action taken at Medford in the inter
est of forming union, which is to
comprise the whole Rogue River val
ley. H. T. Pritchard, w. NJ. Hair
and H. Wood were appointed a COM
mittee to audit the books and report
at next meeting. R, Thomas, w. w.
Candy and w. M. Hair were appoint
ed committee to revise bylaws and
they were instructed to report at the
February meeting. H. L. Andrews
was appointed chairman of COM
mittee which he was to select to sug-
gest suitable nominees for directors
to be elected next year.
There was little business done at
this meeting for lack of a quorum
there being only 1S members pres
ent of membership of 157. This
very important organization has
been crippled for long time by the
lack of work on the part Of commit
tees and the n-attendance Of men,
bers generally. The annual meeting
will soon take place and 1t is to be
honed that new life will be put into
the organization.

TOO MANY RETAILERS?

The meat packers charge that
when they raise prices a cent, the re-
tailers jack them up two to six cents.
Is there not in many places a multi
plication of little retail stores in out
lying sections that tend to keep pri-
cese up?
Distribution through lot of small
outlying stores is an expensive meth
cd of serving the public, as the
charge for general expenses must be
relatively larger than in the bigger
establishments. The public often
times pays too big price for the
privilege of buying in some little
store in the residence district Or the
outlying country serving only it's
own neighborhood in a costly fash
ion, and the public also pays too
high for having goods brought to the
door. The store doing a large bust
ness, soliciting its trade through lib
eral advertising, reducing the ''over-
head" expense of rents, clerk hire,
taxes, interest, office, ETC., by it's vol
ume of trade serves the public eco
Eomically and the public has nothing
to fear from the growth of such es-
Establishments. Small stores well To-
Gated will continue to serve the pub
lie we'll on specialties, but they have
to advertise to get enough business
to make those specialties reasonable
in price.
But any old kind of home store
is better than the metropolitan mail
order houses with its slight attention
and inadequate guarantee.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths From This Disease.

If people could only understand
that systematic catarrh is an inter-
nal disease that external applications
cannot cure, they would not need
to be warned so often about this
malady, which, when neglected,
paves the way oftentimes for con-
sumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may
be cured, if the right treatment is
employed.
Catarrh is caused by general
diseased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and
perhaps serious local conditions,
which may prove fertile greeding
ground for germs of consumption.
External remedies give but temper
airy ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing medicine
which is absorbed and carried by
the blood to all parts of the sys-
TEN, so that the mucous membrane
or internal lining of the body is
toned up and made capable of re-
sisting the infection of consumption
and other diseases.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a speciality, and whose re-
cord was a patient restored to health
in every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy Is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We
are so positive that it will complete
ly overcome catarrh in all it's vari-
Gus forms, whether acute or chron-
ic, that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine in
every case where it fails or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here
where you live, and you do not con-
tract any obligation or risk when
you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our
guarantee We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes, so cents and
$1.00. Very often the taking OF
one 50-cent bottle is sufficient to
make marked impression upon the
case. OF course in chronic cases a
longer treatment Is necessary. Tie
average in such instances is three
$1.o0 bottles. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies In DEBORAH
only at our store,-The Rexall Store
Brunt & Parman.

an Irishman-who had caused no
end of trouble to the police the Sat

The magistrate regarded the pris-
'oner with mingled curiosity and in

gave the officers so much trouble?"

it took seven policemen to lock you

California Being Brought Nearer.

California is being brought much
nearer to the East through the ac-
ton of the Rock Island Lines in
shortening the time of its magnifi-
cent De Luxe train, the Golden
State Limited, between Chicago and
st. Louis, and Los Angeles and San
Francisco. Beginning Sunday, Feb
ruary 20, this splendid train will
make the trip from Chicago to Los
Angeles in 6S1a hours, cut of 81
hours from it's previous schedule
This train, run exclusively for first
class travel, has had the effect of
increasing the popularity of Cali
fornia with the travelling public, and
this shortening of time is just one
step in the way of providing the
patrons of the road the best service
1T Is in the power of any railroad to
give. The present high standard of
equipment not only will be MAIN
tanned, but will be improved from
time to time. Notwithstanding the
fact that entire new trains were pro-
vided at the beginning of the sea-
son, further improvement is being
made.
Travel to California has been
growing steadily throughout the
present season and there is every in
dication that the year will be a re-
cord one for coast visitors. This ten
dency to go to the Golden State has
prompted the Rock Island Lines to
greater activity in providing COM
forts and fast service for it's patrons.
The departing time of the train from
Chicago will be the same as it has
been-9 o'clock p. m, but arrival at
Los Angeles will be at $3.50 in the
afternoon, instead of o'clock. The
time to San Francisco will be cor
respondingly shortened.

TWO CONvICTs.

Jones, wrecker of the First Ma
tional bank, of Rugby, N. d., came
through st. Paul the other day and
talked freely to newspaper report
ers of his plans when he has served
his time in the federal prison at
Leavenworth. He is going to start
over again. He has friends who are
ready to stand by him. His wife
will move TO Leavenworth to be
near him. 1t is suspected that he
has money planted"
Another prisoner sat handcuffed
to sheriff in the same depot. He
was on his way to the state peni-
Tertiary with ten year sentence
He had broken into a bank from the
outside. Nobody noticed him. No
body talked to him. He didn't tell
his plans. Perhaps he had none
Now in all probability there is
little to prevent Jones plans from
maturing. He can come out dig up
the money planted, start again and
become rich and even respected.
Men may and will know that he has
done time but they will whisper it.
II he has planted enough he will
find little ostracism in a social way.
Probably Jones is honest in his
plans for his future and intends to
live without theft. If so, and he
has a "wad" laid away after the
fashion of fall money" he will
And it rather easy.
But the other thief, the one who
troke in, what of him? When he
comes out repentant and DESTROYS
of living decently, can he do it?
Will we let him do it? If he gets a
job, can he keep it? If he makes
home to be sustained by hard la
Dor will his neighbors receive him?
VIII his children escape the repeti-
ton by other children of the story
they heard at home? Will the police
keep an eye on him? Will every &C
ton be construed against him?
Now Jones has his chance He
has education, manners, friends
perhaps in high station. His hands
are white, his clothes fit him, he
has money in his pockets. The po-
lice will not recite his record. But
the other thief?
thieves, one anxious to pile up
fortune which should give him fin
ancial pre-eminence and the power
that such pre-eminence is accorded
in business, politics and social life.
The other anxious to make a haul
that should free him from labor and
afford the means to crafty his
tastes and desires. Analyze the diff
ference between Jones who wreck
ed a bank, the burglar who shot
the safe; between Mabray and
porch climber. Conclude your diff
ferentiation and give us the result.
Are We fair to the one and un-
fair to the other? Shall we con-
denim the law which differentiates
between the banker and the burglar
while We continue to lift one and
kick the other down?-Marshall

these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
