FORMER TIPTONIAN MAKES
SACRIFICE FOR LIBERTY

Raymond B. Sutton, son of Mrs.
James Stephenson, Of Memphis, and
grandson Of Mr.. and Mrs. ~ j Gray,
Of Brighton, was killed IN France
on October IA. The news of his
death reached the family through a
letter from his friend and comrade,
Harry r.. Witt, to his paternal grand
father, Mr.. wv. @. Sutton, Of Gates.
The letter, which shows the fine
feeling Of our soldier boys toward
each other, follows:
Mr.. wv. c. Sutton, Gates, Tenn.
Dear Friend and Neighbor viii
you accept these few lines Of regret
from me, as I want to help you and
your dear family share your sorrow.
Raymond B. Sutton, your noble
grandson, was killed on duty at the
front on October "a, 1918, and was
buried on October rs. Mr.. Sutton,
Raymond was buried by his COM
rades, and was taken care of like a
brother. He was buried in coffin.
There was no mother earth to fall
on his face. We have also mon
ument for him to mark his resting
place. We should not grieve our
hearts for Raymond, for he would
not have us to. If he could he would
say today, "Grieve not for me, for
/ am resting and watching for you"
Raymond's war is over now. No
more longing for him now for home
and loved ones, He sleeps with the
heroes here in France, where /, too,
may some day find rest if God in
heaven wills.
Raymond never suffered one min
ute. He never knew what hit him,
though it was only a small wound
Of the skull.
/ will close now, with sad heart.
Ever your friend,
HARRY i, WILLS.
Raymond B. Sutton and Harry L.
Witt volunteered for service in the
early days Of the war, and were
among the first to leave Memphis
for the front. He was placed in an
ambulance corps and sent to France
along with the first of the volunteer
boys.
Besides his grandparents and his
mother mentioned above, he leaves
4 Younger brother, Clyde Sutton, and
his stepfather, MFR. James Stephen
son. Of Memphis. Thus is added an
other name to the lengthening list
Of heroes who made the supreme sac
rifice to purchase liberty for US and
for humanity.

money at the earliest possible mo-

The one serious drawback to the
present situation Is the lack Of stock
feed. With the mills shut down there
is no bran, shorts or middlings being
turned out. Portland mills are de-
voting their energies to a combna-

quite expensive. During the past

start milling barley early this week.
This will provide some barley bran

MOTORISTS SHOULD USE
PACIFIC COAST PRODUCTS

AS the war goes on the need for
conserving in every direction is con-
stontly increasing Not only must
we conserve food and fuel but we
must relieve the railways as much
% possible for war needs. One way
in which this can be effectively done
Is to use products made at home.
President Wilson, himself, has urg-
el us to use the products of the
local factories" in order to save To-
comotives and freight cars for the
war department.
The Pacific coast produces large
quantity Of things which are the
equal, If not better than similar
goods brought from the east. Among
these are many of the products used
by motorists. This is particularly
true Of lubricatlng oils.
Government and other experts
have long recognized the unsurpass-
ed qualities of the lubricating oils
refined from California asphast-base

pOGUE RIVER WHEAT CROP
BREAKS FORMER RECORD

One hundred and twenty Thousand
bushels of wheat have been raised il
the Rogue River valley this year, ac
cording to the estimate OF E. n
Tilm, manager of the Rogue Rive
Milling Co., Medford Last year I'll,
crop was only 10000 bushels. This i.
gain of $4,000 bushels, an increase
Of 200 per cent.
And yet in spite of this record.
breaking crop, in spite of the fact
that the Rogue River Milling Co, has
capacity of 65 barrels of flour a
day in spite of the fact that this
crop is worth the cool round sum OF
S2fO, 900 net to the growers there is
practically no wheat being sold Ia
the valley, there is at present no
flour being ground. Wheat, the staff
Of life, the worlds essential food is
at the present moment, in the Rogue
River valley drug on the market.
Why is this? The answer is the
war. The local mills are not buying
wheat because they are not making
wheat flour. They are not making
wheat flour because the government
IS not buying it. The government is
not buying wheat flour because the
shipping space is now being used for
troops and for wheat.
This is a temporary condition,
however, and condition for which
no one is to blame. The government
IS merely doing what the war de-
partment demands. Most of the car
so handling in France and England
is being done by women, and handl-
ing flour is too heavy work for wo-
men to perform, Wheat can be
handled by machinery.
The government not being in the
market for flour, the local flour mills
have not government market, while
the freight differential and fixed
lour prices prevents them from ship
ping east to the open market. There
lore, the local mills are at present
andeavoring to develop a local mar
tet for flour in southern Oregon ana
northern California, through the
medium of the motor truck. They
.Xpect to sell flour from Grants Pass

The natural question arises why
