SOUTHERN OREGON SPIRIT

jackson and Josephine counties
have joined hands with a spirit that
is admirable for the reception and
entertainment OF the National Edi-
torial Association party that is go
ing to be shown that greatest OF
Oregon wonders-Crater Lake
this month. Two hundred and fifty
of the nations editors from 81 states
will be taken from Portland to Med
ford in special train, from Med
ford to the Lake in motor cars and
back to Ashland and then returned
to Portland.
Medford, Ashland and Grants Pass
have pooled their resources in be-
half OF this excursion that will re-
suit in Southern Oregon receiving
several hundred thousand lines OF
publicity all over this country. While
Grants Pass is not so directly inter-
ested in the trip as the other two
cities, because the party does not
stop there, the people of that little
city are big and broad and have not
only agreed to provide Is cars for
the trip to the crater and return.
but will assist in financing the var
ious entertainment features. County
courts and city councils have opened
the municipal purses freely. with a
realization of the tremendous bene-
fits to be derived from a visit Of a
party OF this character. The com
mercial organizations of the three
towns are playing ball together, and
have prepared a reception for the
editors that will make Southern Ore
gon talked about from one end of
the country to the other.
Such cooperation and enterprise
is ideal, perhaps unusual, and the
group of Southern Oregon cities is
entitled to all of the praise and pub
licity that it certainly will obtain
Oregon City Enterprise.

DRY. WEATHER AFFECTS
VARIOUS OREGON CROPS

Portland, Aug. Tn many parts
of Oregon peaches and apples are
small at present because OF lack Of
moisture and insufficient thinning,
according to the weekly Weather re-
port and crop bulletin Of the local
weather bureau. Irrigated apples,
however. are good and peaches are
riDening in increasing quantities.
the report says. Bartlett pears are
ripening and a few have been ship
ped from Josephine county. Picking
of blackberries continues.
The past week was relatively cool
in the western counties though there
were a few, high temperatures in the
southern and eastern counties. There
was considerable cloudiness and
some light sprinkles OF rain. There
was little wind and the humidity was
higher than usual, resulting in a
lessened rate OF evaporation. Water
in springs and streams continues to
decrease. The shortage of irrigating
and stock water is quite serious in
| places.
Stacking OF the first crop OF al
falfa has been completed in Des-
chutes county, the yield being good
Cutting OF the second crop is com
pleted in many localities, the cror
being generally good except where
there was insufficient water Some
third crop has been cut In the warm
er districts. The late cuttings are
being materially reduceds by lack o.
water. Pastures and ranges ar,
drying up. There is still good feet
on the higher ranges but elsewher,
1t is becoming scarce. Stock is still
in good condition over most OF tn,
state but in some sections is beini
moved out owing to lack OF feed ant
water.

MAKING
INSURES LONG WEAR

The best and longest wearing tire
for the least amount OF money to he
spent in the long run was the slogan
OF the Thermoid Rubber company
when il set out To build tire for
motorists OF the world" said Geo.
X. Riddle, OF the Rogue River Hard
ware Company, distributor for Their
mold crolide compound tires. After
several months of experimenting.
the chemists and tire experts at the
Thermoid factory discovered COM
pound which they called crolide.
This discovery Is compounded with
rubber and adds greatly to the life
OF the tire.
"a few Thermoid specifications
will show the superiority OF the
Thermoid tire. In many sizes one
more ply OF fabric is put than in
standard tires. For example: Az
inch tires are built with five plies
of fabric and Az sizes with seven
plies. The fabric used in Thermoid
tires is woven from 17A ounce long
staple Sea Island cotton and be-
tween each layer OF fabric is a spe-
cial blend OF crolide compound rub
ber. The cushion Is made OF a
special blend of crolide compound
rubber as we'll as the breaker strip,
which is made OF specially woven IA
brio.
THE tread. which must be espe-
cially strong, is of crolide compound
rubber, extra thick, and because OF
crolide, tough and resilient. To add
to the strength of the tread a spe-
cial Theranoid interlocking arrange
ment has been applied, holding the
tread firmly in place.
"As to the guarantee given with
Thermoid tires. we believe 1t is the
best offered, being 5000 miles on all
sizes with the exception OF the Ford
sizes. on which guarantee of 1900
miles Is given. The tire is construct
ed to stand all hard knocks and Is
especially resistant to stone bruises,
which have been the ruination OF
many tires" 80
