ASHLAND WILL NOT
LOSE FRUIT GROWER

A.. c. Joy of the Produce-Con-
sumer orchard and president OF the
jackson county farm bureau was re-
Gently offered the position OF az
ricultural agent OF Coos county, a
position that carries with 1t a sal
AIRY of from $4,000 TO $4,000 year.
The offer was made to Mn Joy by
Paul ]. Maris, the state leader Of
the county agents, who had become
acquainted with Mr.. Joy thru his
work in the county farm bureau, and
has the acumen to pick out good
men for this work.
Mr.. JOY however, is not going to
accept this offer. Farming looks
too good job for me to give 1t up"
he said In speaking Of his offer
There is all kinds Of growth and
advancement in this business, while
the position as county agent simply
means a salary as an end, with
nothing else to look forward to. II
IS the same with teaching which ]
gave up for farming" Mr.. Joy con-
iinued.
Possibly few people in this vicin-
ity who see in Mr. Joy the practical
fsrmer and orchardist know that he
formerly was instructor of pedagogi-
cal subjects in the normal school
when 1t was conducted here, and
came here from Iowa where and his
wife both taught to take this posi-
lion. Mrs. Joy was also connected
with the normal school here where
she was supervisor Of the training
school. At the closing down OF
that institution Mr.. Joy saw an op-
ening here in fruit farming which he
Immediately embraced, and is fast
forging ahead as one of the most
successful producers and shippers of
fruit in the Rogue River valley. But
that is "The Joy Way" according to
his slogan.

EMULATION COUNTS IN LIFE
Woman Evangelist Was Evidently
Aware Of the Fact, and Turned
Il to Advantage.

In an Indiana city, not long ago. q
woman evangelist held revival meet
ing. She took no collections while the
services were In progress, but on the
final night she announced that free
will offering would be In order. Inter
est In the meetings had been growing
and the church was crowded 10 capac-
ity. The ushers, with contribution
plates. started on their rounds. The
evangelist said she had instructed them
to say "Amen" whenever % cents was
dropped into the plate; when 80 cents
the usher was to say "Hallelujah!" !" and
when 81 the usher was TO say "Gl0ry
hallelujah!" in a loud tone. The col
lection amount to 81 100.
IL there had been no emulation the
total might have been small, but the
evangelist knew that no person with
money to give would be content with
an "Amen" when a nelghbor, sitting In
the next pew, was acclaimed with a
-Glory hallelujah! !" The same principle
holds good in everyday life. II one
man has fine vegetable garden It Is
an Incentive to his nelghbors. The
interest women have In pretty frocks
is largely due to somebody getting one
and making the others desire some
thing equally becoming. Men would
care little for position II 1t were not
for the age-old lure that makes them
want better job than the other fel'
low.
without such emulation there would
be nothing to drag men and women
away from the commonplace things OF
life. There would be nothing to induce
one boy to seek for the head Of his
class or persuade him that he should
run for president later on. Many, Oi
course, are content to have Amen
said to their efforts in life, hut more
want to hear the "Glory halleldjah r.

GOT WALTER JENKINS
INSTEAD on {

President Fuller does not believe
in firing his audience with long an
nouncements at each session of the
Chautauqua. He made complete
announcement of the various days at
the opening session. and hereafter
will rely upon the programs to keep
the coming events before the public.
Instead OF taking the superintend-
ent who usually accompanies the
course, President Fuller made a
most happy exchange in getting Wal
ter jenkins, song leader Of the Wa
Camp Community service, who will
be here during the entire week and
will lead all singing, give rehearsals
and classes on music for the benefit
OF those who wish to avail them
selves OF this opportunity. This de-

GROANs
UNDER SUMS RAYS

Ashland residents sizzling in the
torrid heat of this week and COM
planning that this is the worst ever,
may console themselves with the
fact that there are hotter places
nearby than this mountain retreat.
Monday was the hottest day on
record and the thermometer regis
tered 102. The government ther-
.mometer at Grants Pass registered
1OS, and other communities have
been accordingly warm. While this
is pretty warm for this country 1t is
nothing compared to the heat in the
east. Not much breeze stirred the
fore part Of the week to help temper
the. suns rays, and the nights re-
NAMED warm, which is unusual for
this section. Wednesday night saw
a change for the letter in the tenn
perature and since then existence
has been quite endurable.

TRADING IRREGULAR IN THE CHICAGO PIT BUT CLOSED STRONG
Quotations Closed Down, While Oats Seesawed. Provisions Were Un-
 changed to Lower
By Associated Press

Chicago. August 20.-The corn market today was irregular and exhibited succession of declines and rallies clos ing firm after a speedy working away from low points. Light offerings, further decline in foreign exchange rates and the. demands of shorts were contributing factors. The close was firm, 1sc to l 1sc net lower on distant months and % to 13Sc net higher for September, the only delivery finishing at an advance. Closing prices for corn were: September 1S4K to 1s41s and December r.431s to I434 Oats closing half cent lower to 4 c higher and pro visions finished unchanged to 200 lower
 Sentiment in the corn market was more mixed than of late and prices underwent rapid changes. Some of the early sellers bought freely later. Most or the trading was of 8 local character. The decline in sterling exchange was ap- parently ignored after the opening and firm tendency showed itself, rallies following every selling movement, Com mission house buying was evident on course of corn with firm undertone most of the time and resistance to sell ing pressure in which domestic cash demand figured.
 Provisions moved generally with grain. Export business was hampered by the low foreign exchange rates. The undertone was weak toward the end of the session, but fluctuations were in narrow limits

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CAUSES A BEARISH
 TRADE IN COTTON
Market Lost Almost All of Previous Days Advance, Closing 5S to 65
 Points Off
By Associated Press


 New York, August a.-The cotton mar ket lost almost all of yesterdays ad- vance during today's trading owing to continued weakness of foreign exchange and reports of poor trade demand.
 October contracts sold of to SO7O in the late trading or 7S points net lower and closed at o2S with the general list closing steady at a net decline of oS to 6 points.
 The market opened easy ot a decline of $ or S4 points, Liverpool was better than due, but was a seller of late months by balance here while yesterdays buyers seemed to be disappointed that there wa. no confirmation of rumors regarding measures to facilitate the financing 0. exports. There was some trade buying and covering on a break of about 5t points from last nights closing figures which followed the publication of the weekly report of the weather bureau; but moderate rallies seemed to meet in- creased offerings from one source or an other and the market was unsettled dur ing the afternoon when there appeared to be considerable nervousness over dis turbed labor conditions in the steel in- dustry and the further decline in sterling exchange. December broke to 8. 9 and January to 90.20 with the general list showing net losses Of about 70 to e points. The close was some 10 to 20 points up from the lowest on the more active positions as a result of covering south ern shippers here report little or no fresh export business and it was rumored that some holders of cotton intended for ex- port were trying to sell it in the domestic markets. The weekly weather said that conditions had been generally favorable for cotton, but also mentioned a num- Der of drawbacks which tended to modify the bearish view of this state ment. No exports today.
