Bears Trouble
Siskiyou Campers

Some interesting tales are told by
people of the Siskiyous about bear in
that vicinity, Owing to the forest
fires raging in the country around
and the scarcity of food, great many
bruins have taken to the Siskiyous.
James Wilson, who is working on the
Pacific Highway in that section, told
the following story:
THE bears are very numerous in
our section. Sometimes we see them
while working, but not often, as they
prefer to do their wandering around
in the night. At our camp it is neees-
sary for us to be on our guard con-
tinually, as the varmints steal ouI
grub and occasionally make away
with a shirt. Since week ago las;
Saturday we have been troubled with
big black fellow who insists upon
paying our cook house a visit. He
remains in hiding in the woods all
day and comes to our camp at night
Very frequently he gets ham and
always upsets things. We have sci
traps for him, but to no avail. The
smooth fellow still comes and steals.
Mr.. Wilson is taking a 30-30 back
with him and he says that the next
time he visits the city he will have
the hide of the largest bear in south
ern Oregon.

Object Of Better.
Babies Contest

The Better Babies Contest is a
popular yet scientific movement to in
sure better babies and better race.
Physical and mental DEVELOPMENT
only are considered; mere beauty
does not count.
Better Babies Contest insures a
better race of Americans because it
teaches parents how to improve the
physical condition of children already
born and to protect those yet unborn.
1t arouses interest in the conserva-
tion of child life and health, and in
all forms of child welfare work.
The Better Babies Contest is most
valuable to the community when it
is conducted along educational rather
than competitive lines, The greatest
return which parents and children
secure from the contest is more
knowledge and better care of the
child by competent physicians. Small
defects are uncovered and remedies
are suggested. Parents leave the
contest knowing more than they ever
knew before, and the children are
given a better start in life because of
the knowledge gained by parents.
If this matter can be brought clear
ly before the parents, and if children
are entered not for prizes but for in
formation and help, the contest will
be placed on the highest possible
plane. Medals and certificates will
be given at the Better Babies Contest
to be held at G. A. r. hall, upper
floor, Wednesday and Thursday, Sep
tember 3 and 4, from 10 to 12 a. m
Examinations to be made by DR.. A
w. Swedenburg and DR.. G. w. Gregg
Examinations will be private, no
any one allowed except children anC
mothers or attendants. If possible
application should be made to Mrs

before Wednesday next. Babies ST

Booze Records
Being Compiled

Is Ashland the ideal prohibition
city of the Pacific coast? The prohi-
bitionists claim it is, The antis that
it is not. Therefore it is not i'm
probable Ashland may be selected to
show both sides of the question-that
prohibition does and does not pro-
hibit.
The records in the office of the
Ashland police department indicate
those who secure liquor are few but
constant in their obtaining the pro-
hibited beverage The shipments re-
ceived in Ashland are compiled and
not single drop is allowed to come
into the city by freight or express
without the names Of the person re-
ceiving it becoming part of the city's
record
Ashland's officials are perhaps the
most vigilant in the entire state in
keeping check on those who imbibe
of the forbidden juice. The records
are complete. Those who have gov
ernment revenue licenses are record
ed and every receipt of liquor is kept
! together with the name and address
of the person receiving it.
A movement is now on foot to get
the city council to order the publica,
tion of the names of all those who
received liquor after the first of Octo,
Der. If the city fathers do this those
who get liquor will have the fac
made public each month.
While Mayor Johnson and The
members of the council do not minct
words in their advocating prohibition
there is some doubt expressed as t
whether the publication of the name
of individuals receiving liquor will b,
adopted.
A representative of the Oregon dr.
campaign committee has been compil

several days. An effort will be mad

The water beetle didn't find another
earth, but only wide, wide sea OF
