Il have not only gained twenty

A REAL BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION

Medford is to be congratulated on
ayailing itself OF the services of so
broad gauged business man as Mayor
Gates. He has had wide experience
in large business affairs. Under his
leadership during the past three
years she has paid, and has funds on
hands to pay. more than one hundred
thousand dollars of her Indebtedness
without increasing her tax levy.
Lately her entire debt, amounting
TO some seven hundred thousand dol
lars, was refunded into long time OBJ
legations and offered for sale. Brok-
ers began to dicker for the bonds at
a discount. They said Medford's fl
nancial reputation was bad and the
market would not absorb its obliga-
tions at par. Mayor Gates thought
differently. He had heard such ar
guments before and was sure they
were put forward in the hope of max
ing good deal for the brokers. He
sat tight on the lid. He had courage
and confidence in his city, and felt
that a par market could be found. He
got busy. Last week the entire Is
sue was sold at par to San Fran
cisco bank that Mayor Gates had in
terested.
Every community has men of high
business experience and acumen but
they are seldom urged to occupy Of
ficial positions in the municipality
where their ability can be turned to
advantage for the community. At.
tention OF citizens is too much en-
crossed in the routine trappings OF
municipal government to even com.
prehend the larger problems. So
many think successful municipal gov
ernment lies in the proper exercise
OF routine and petty functions and
are so inexperienced in and afraid OF
the larger problems that broad-gaug-
ed business men hesitate to lend their
experience and ability to the advan-
tage of the city 1t is refreshing to
find man like Mayor Gates in the
right place. We are surprised that
Medford selected such an one. It is
so unusual.
The city that elects its officials
purely on the ground of moral anti
fude, without due regard to business
experience and ability, is sure to
fall into a narrow, do-nothing rut and
allow its commercial life to suffer
for want of proper stimulant and d.!
rection.
Mayor Gates saved the city of Med
ford more than fifty thousand dol.
lars discount on its bond sale be-
cause he knew what was what and
did not allow his judgment to be
warped by plausible indictments of
bond brokers with an axe to grind
or yield to the clamor OF frightened
citizens.

BACK TO THE FARM

The other day pamphlet fell into
our hands entitled: "A woman's
twenty-four hours on the farm" 1t
purported to relate the hum drum
and drudgery OF the farmers wife
for twenty-four hour experience,
related by the woman. Her first oh
servation was that she needed twen-
ty-four hours to accomplish her work
and ten hours to sleep, whereas she
had but twenty-four for the whole.
Hard, indeed, 1t will be to success
fully accomplish the back to the farm
movement so long as farm life holds
only twenty-four houre day Of drug
cry. Uncle Sam may try to induce
farm life by establishing stable high
prices, but 1t will have little attrac-
tion for the woman who knows the
drudgery of II and the Inconvenience
es she must encounter in the work.
Conditions must be changed. The
farm home must be made a place of
comfort and the burden lightened by
modern equipment-labor saving,
time saving and nerve saving con-
veniences. The average farm house
is still equipped with the coal oil
lamp, a dirth OF kitchen equipment
and only such furniture as necessity
demands. There is no nicely or util-
ity in II. The bath tub is almost an
unknown convenience. The wonder

all the city homes, with its time and
labor saving devices, the electric iron,
the electric washing and sewing ma
chimes, the vacuum cleaner and the
thousand and one other step and
muscle savers seem to have been
meant alone for the city lady and
not for the woman who needs the n
most; at least the farms do not read
lily adopt them.
Happily inventive genius has been
at work in the interest of the "back
to the farm" movement. Labor saw
ing equipment, from thresher to trac-
tor is being generally adopted by the
farmer, and now the market comes
forward with a complete rural elec.
trio apparatus that supplies curren,,
not only for feed chopping, separat
ing, milking and the like, but makes
1t possible to equip the farm home
with all the modern convenience of
city life made possible by the devel-
opment of electric devices. Women
will never more be willing to be a
drudge on the farm while their city
friends move easily thru their days
work with vacuum cleaners, electric
irons, bath tubs and the like.
Uncle Sam will do well to give
some attention to stimulating the use
of such farm equipment 1t will do
more to attract persons to the soil
than all the back to the land" propa-
ganda 1t is possible to issue. And
the farmer making money from the
land and desiring to continue, will
need to look well to the matter of
supplying the house with this labor
saving equipment, for a drudge-be-
drabbled woman, with the kids to
tend and twentyfour hours work to
do in twelve will never more be con-
tented without it.
And, besides. 1t pays.

WHY HE FELL
WITHOUT THE PALE

| WiAhOol AAA6 hAAfl
Men are so welded to institutions
and particular forms that the most
heroic actions Of society are cramped
and hindered by trying to conform
them to the tenets of our institution,
or to apply them in our own way.
The broader aspects of life and COM
munity interest are lost sight of and
the goal is often missed thru insis-
tance that 1t be reached by particu-
lar route. Splendid success demands
that the aim be generally approved
not only, but that society becomes
enough interested in its accomplish
ment to not stickle over means, as
long as they are honorable. Men do
not and should not all think alike,
but certain yielding of opinion must
take place to accomplish great un-
dertakings. Tweedle de and tweedle
dun have murdered many a likely
enterprise.
We remember a very worthy Bap-
tist preacher under whose drippings
we sat in our younger days. He de-
livered fine series on the Pilgrims S
Progress, but he took the pilgrim the
full course over the Baptist road and
frequently warned him against pre-
destination and probation. When he
approached the infallibility OF the
church he nearly tore the ragged gar
ments off the poor fellow getting him
away from the temptation. He de-
MED him the privilege Of investigat-
ing the falling apple and the fall Of
man together for fear 1t might lure
him into science. But, withal, the
preacher was logical and forceful and
had he not so fearfully mussed up
his pilgrim in attempting to keep him
squarely in the Baptist rut he would
have transformed him Into so shin
ing an angel as to have penetrated
the hard shell of unbelief in which
we comfortably reposed. But, he
cramped so narrow he left US out
of the pale with the probationist, the
predestinaries, the infallibilityites.
the scientists and the rest instead Of
lifting us upward toward the ulti-
mate aim of all Of them. He paid
such resolute attention to the route
that he lost sight of the goal.
We concluded, after hearing the
series thru, that there was so much
bad in the best Of them and so much
good in the worst of them that, for
our part, We would hold common al
legience to the highest aims of all of
them and particular adherence to the
rut of none of them.
OF course, being human, we imme.
diately set about to construct a way
of our own, but, 1t developed, there
was no need of insisting on all men
falling into our rut, for, we soon OBJ
served both preachers and laymen
far reader to force morality on man
by human laws than to convince him,
by precept and example. that the
power of their gospel could raise him
out of sin into righteousness. In
fact, they fell to so Justify it seemed
hard to distinguish a gospel meeting
from political convention and some
of the faithful of the flock began to
fear that pure Christianity was van
ishing from their institutions, leav-
ing only the form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof"

THE DANGER OF INFLUENZA
There Should be General Clean
UP of Homes, Streets and Tenements

When the Influenza epidemic was
finally conquered last winter, the
public was thoroughly aroused to
the necessity of good sanitation an,
other health measures. But now
the epidemic has been forgotten in
/, the rush of events, and the average
person is about as careless as ever.
Warnings are issued by health
authorities that there is a likeli-
hood of another outbreak of this
terrible scourge this season. II is
not expected to be as severe as the
first. But considering what a fear
full plague it was, it will be the
part of wisdom to take no chances.
Had anyone realized in advance
the nature of this peril, far stricter
measures would nave been taken
early last fall. In case the disease
breaks out again, rigid action
should be taken to close up centers
OF infection. The Public Health
-A~NAA Dets . S-iut puuIlC edIlnR ana
drinking places were a leading
means for transmission of The de-
sease. These should be carefully
watched, and required either to
obey tae most rigid SANITARY rules
or else. to close.
There should be a general clean
up OF homes and streets and tene.
ments, and boards of health should
be very active in removing all I'M
sanitary conditions.
People who have had influenza
symptoms should not keep on at
work the way they did last fall,
thus spreading the fatal scourge
all over the country. 1t was shown
that a person having the desease
mildly, might communicate it t.
Others who would have it severely
and die therefrom. People who have
even slight case have no right to
endanger the lives of others bv
venturing out in public. They will
be far safer themselves by remain
ing at home, and caution on their
part will save the community from
a great peril

Big Job Of Paving Completed.

labor and material cost after the
contract was made that Mr.. Carlson
made but little profit on the con-
