Parcel Post Is
.: Used By Ashland

An Ashland grocery yesterday
shipped to eastern Oregon by parcel
post $50 pounds OF supplies. This is
one of the largest orders to go
through the local postoffice, one of
375 having been shipped in Febru-
ary to the same party. This shows
how easy it is for Ashland merchants
to work up a profitable trade in
southern Oregon by united and con-
centrated effort by meeting the prices
of all competitors in the lines of
trade. The parcel post is of benefit
to local merchants as well as the mail
order houses. The local merchant
need only to inform the prospective
customer of his prices in order to
take advantage of the parcel post
sales propositions.

February and March Worst Months
for This TrOuble-HOw to Re-
move Easily.

There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in February and March,
but happily there is also a remedy
for these ugly blemishes, and no one
need stay freckled.
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength. from your druggist
and apply little of it night and
morning, and in a few days you
should see that even the worst freck-
les have begun to disappear, while
the light ones have vanished entirely.
Now is the time to rid yourself of
freckles, for if not removed now they
will stay all summer, and spoil an
otherwise beautiful complexion. Your
money back if othine fails.

come within easy reach of him. He
would sit on the beach near the cottage
watching the sand birds, and when one
hoped within n short distance. he
seemed to wonder why the bird did not
come close enough to play; and would
duck his head and roll, trying to- coax
him on. Matte was born in China, Me-,
and during the past 19 years accompanied
his mistress ON her trips between Massa-
chusetts and Maine He knew no fear
and when on the train looked from the
car window with apparent interest, and
even tie swift passing of another train
did not disturb his serenity. On one &C.
casion he rode from Boston to New York
City and return, in an automobile and
seemed to enjoy every moment. He made
himself at home in the hotel in the city,
and was petted by many of the guests
At one time he was found playing with
a rat in the cellar Of his home and had
evidently been on friendly terms with
his ratship for some time. He would

best of grace and in many ways set an
example to the higher order of Gods

INTERESTING INDIAN
NOTES FROM CARLISLE
ARROW, INDIAN PAPER

A mixed-blood Indian, according to the
United States Supreme Court, is one who
has an identihable mixture of other than
Indian blood derived from ancestors who
had other than Indian blood. The dect-
sion applies to Chippewa Indians and de-
feats Government suit to set aside GER
tain conveyance. The lower court ruled
than an Indian having less than one
eighth admixture of white blood should
be considered as full-blood Indian
Exchange.
Henry Landers. a 14-year-old full-blood
Indian of McClain township, won the first
prize in country spelling contest, and
represented Muskogee county in the state
contest at Oklahoma City May 9.
The first contest resulted in a tie be-
tween Landers. Robert Criswell and
Monreve Van Ausdell Each missed two
words out of 200. On a second contest
the Indian finally won out at the both
word. He is in the sixth grade and only
goes to school six months out of each
year.-Oklahoma City Oklahoman.
The first full FLOODED American Indian
ever born in Germany recently saw the
light of day near Dortmund, Westphalia.
The child's father is Sioux from the
Pine Ridge Agency. William Bear Shield,
and the mother is Mary Bear Shield. The
father is now in America. but the mother
is a member of an Indian troupe touring
Germany with a circus.
The birth took place in a typical Ameri-
can prairie wagon while the troupe was
en- route from Dortmund to Reckling-
hansen.
The mother was anxious that her little
papoose, who is girl, should be duly
registered in the German records as an
American citizen and a Christian. To
that end she sought the nearest American
consul, George Eugene Eager. who repre-
sents the United States at Bremen.
The baby was born on June 20, but as
the Fourth of July was approaching the
baptism was deferred until then. Mr..
Eager stood as godfather for the child
who was christened Maria Consula.-

Boost Little.

There isn't a strip of desert big
all Maine. For many years people
spoke of the ''barrens" of Washington
county but it has been discovered
that the land is as fertile as any in
the State. That was the nearest
Maine ever came to having a desert.
As a matter of fact about ali OF
Maine that isn't water can be profit
ably used for farming or orcharding.
Few states in the Union have so lit
tie waste" land. though many states
can rightfully claim that their avail
able land is used to a larger proper
tionate degree.
Some men claim that if all the land
in Maine that would yield good crops
was put to USE nothing else would be
needed to boost the States wealth.
Whether that is true or not, there is
plenty of opportunity for additional
farmers and then there will still be
room for thousands of mills and fac
tories. The problem is to induce
men and women to come to Maine
and take up the farms and to demon
strate to investors and manufacturers
that Maine is the place to make goods
The solution of that problem is in the
hands of the Develop Maine Move

Need for Competent Health Officers.

Need for Competent Health oncers.
In the health reports issued Sep
TENDER by the United States Public
Health Service, attention is called to
the fact that one of the greatest social
needs at the present time is compe-
tent health officers for cities, villages,
and rural communities. During the
last 20 or 80 years, much knowledge
has been obtained as to how diseases
may be controlled and prevented.
Much of this information. however,
being comparatively new. has not be-
come common knowledge. 1t will
probably do so only when the princi-
pies of how to live to keep well and
to avoid disease are taught in the
schools, along with mathematics and
grammar.
Trained health officers now know
that many of the common diseases,
such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever,
dipftheria, smallpox and measles, can
be controlled and prevented. When
any city or other community really
desires that these diseases be pre-
vented, they will be able to have it
done; and can rid themselves of these
enemies of man, which actually cost
more in lives and money each year
than would the waging of a war with
foreign enemy.
In order, however, that a city or
other community may protect itself,
it is necessary that it have health
department or health officer, and
not only this, but that the health Of
GER or the head of the health depart
ment shall know about health ad-
ministration and the prevention of
disease.
Unfortunately, there are at the
present time comparatively few per-
sons trained in public health admin
istration and the prevention of dis
ease as it relates to communities.
| For this reason it is impossible to
find competent persons to fill the thou
sands of positions of local health Of
| ficers. The great need at the present
| time, therefore. Is not more knowledge
of how to prevent disease, but more
people familiar with the knowledge
which has already been acquired by
experts. The Federal Public Health
Service suggests that state depart
ments of health train the local health
officers of their respective states BY
establishing correspondence courses
/ in health administration, and that
examinations be held annually and
certificates issued to those who have
shown themselves proficient
Such courses would be welcomed by
health officers. Others also would be
glad to take them. because of the use
full information they would give and
their educational value.
