ing a street car or at any other time
and place where numerous other peo-
pie are inconvenienced.
In some districts it seems to be a
popular habit of many people to walk
three and four abreast. Young girls,
some of whom have written to me re-
Gently, are particularly fond of mo-
nopolizing the sidewalk in this man
ner. 1t is distinctly not good form
and no person who wishes to be con-
sidered well bred will ever be guilty
OF such public rudeness.
A younger person should always
give precedence to an older one. This
is one Of those little things, which as
| said. before, is very apt to be mis-
interpreted, but one cannot afford to
neglect ones own courtesy just be-
cause some other person chances to
be boorish or ignorant
To be seen eating candy and pea
nuts on the street is not an indication
of good breeding and every young
girl who has ever read any book on
etiquette knows that it is never good
form for woman to be seen talking
on the street corner; and no man wht
has the instincts of a gentleman will
ever cause woman to remain stand
ing while they converse. If he does
not happen to be going in her direc-
tion, he should turn and accompany
her a short distance, until their con.
versation is finished.
In crowded cars courtesy is becom-
ing more and more at a premium,
largely for the reasons / have al
ready mentioned In far too many
instances it is met only with rude
ness on the part of those whose un.
couthness and ignorance is on pat
with that of my jack-rabbit lady.
Many men declare that the reason
why they stopped offering their seats
in the car to women who were stand
ing is because the courtesy was 50
little appreciated.

Two Hundred Dollar Exemption Al
lowed for Dependents Under 49,

Single persons, though required to

COUNTY COURT APPROVES
SUSPENSION OF WORK

The county court has received a
letter from the district engineer in
charge of the work for the bureau
of roads for this territory approving
the cessation of work on the Hays
hill contract till the weather be-
comes more propitious. This is the
work that has been in progress by
Harry Webber, but which had to
stop operations because more dam
age was being done through heavy
trucking over soft roads than good
was being accomplished. Mr. Web
Der has the contract for the surfac-
ing Of the grade over the Hays hill.
The engineer also forwards a state
ment showing that $5,3O997 had
been expended on the work between
the date Of commencement and the
13 when work ceased, and Josephine
county is asked to put up $1,769.99
as its third of the cost This work
is done through cooperation of the
federal bureau, the state highway
commission and the county each
bearing an equal part.-Grants Pass

An Unusual Entertainment.

The number who wended their way
through the fog to the Belleview
school house last evening saw and
listened to local talent that would
do justics to any platform. One OF
the most original and very welcome
stunts was the concealed corner
which told the story when the cur
tain was dropped, and printed in
good bold letters were the words,
COFFEE and hot dogs" two happy
chefs and two wlnsome Mattresses
invited the happy gathering to get
in line and enjoy the goods adver-
tised. 1t didn't require much urg-
ing and the chefs and Mattresses
were kept on the jump, passing out
delicious coffee and hot dog sand
wiches.
The numbers on the program was
a piano solo by Miss Plerson, vocal
solo. Mrs. Edwin Dunn; vocal duet
with ukulele accompaniment, Misses
Helen and Louise Harrell; reading,
Miss Jennie Dowd; piano duet, Misses
May and Mildred Kaegi; vocal solo,
Miss Bay; reading. Miss Dowd;
whistling solo, Mrs. Wilson.
All the artists very generously
responded to the encores. Tho
Belleview Community Club have been
giving these entertainments the Sec
ond Friday of every month, and have
been asking no admission. Can
you beat it? The next
one will be given in the Belleview
school house the second Friday In
February and a small admission will
be charged. The Belleview Com
munity Club are live bunch and
propose making some necessary inn
provements in the school house for
their comfort and entertainment.
They are worthy of support.

Kind Hearts Aid
Suffering of Dog

The day of the Good Samaritan II
not passed, even though we carr
about the hard -heartedness OF human
kind. There are still some heart'
that beat in pity for the distressed
Of this world, and many others whc
put out helping hand to succoi
those in trouble.
Saturday afternoon most pitifu
object was seen on the streets. This
was small dog with fearfully in
iured fore leg. The little animal
was llmping along on three feet, try
ing in its dumb way to interest pass
ersby sufficiently to secure some
help. Many stopped and patted the
head of the suffering creature and
expressed deep sympathy, but the
little dog evidently was trying to
reach its home as it struggled along
the street in an attempt to gain shell
ter somewhere.
Finally animal endurance could
last no longer, and the little dog
lay down on the cold pavement ex-
hausted by pain. In this condition
it was found by tender hearted wo'
man of Ashland, whose sympathies
were wrung by the suffering of the
dog. After making inquiries and
finding there is no veterinary sur
geon located in this city, she tele-
phone to well known physician,
telling him of the suffering of the
animal.
81 will be down at once" the
physician responded, and was soon
on the scene. Taking the suffering
animal in his arms he carried It
across the street to the shoe shining
parlor of M. C. Claiborne, whose
warm heart responded to the call
for sympathy, and readily allowed
the dog to curl down by his fire.
The doctor promised to give the dog
his attention, meanwhile slipping
some money in Mr.. Claibornes hand
to procure food for the animal. The
dog is in good hands under the
care of one of the most skilled ply
scians in the city, who will not let
the fact that it is a dumb animal
deter him from giving the dog the
best treatment of which he is cap
able.
BY this humane act Dr.. G. o. Jar
Wis has endeared himself to all low
ers of dogs, and especially to those
whose hearts were wrung by the
sight of the suffering of this dumb
animal, The dog bore a Siskiyou co.
license tag and it is presumed he
had fallen off an automobile which
had run over his leg,
The dog has certainly fallen in
good hands under Mr.. Claiborne's
careful ministrations and has not
only gained a friend but will have
a good home. He is much better
today.

OIL DISCUSSION
AT FORUM LUNCHEON
Large Get Together Meeting of Ash
land-MedfOrd Chambers of Com
merce Talk Over Valleys Pros
pects-Community Singing Fea-
turc.

The biggest forum yet held in the
Hotel Austin occurred at noon today.
It was a real get together meeting
between Medford and Ashland and
presages a working together of the
two cities for the Rogue River Val
ley as never before. Nearly one
hundred people were in attendance.
The features of the gathering wero
the splendid community singing led
by D. H. Millard OF Medford and
assisted by the Oil Quartet. o. b
Lamkin presided over the gathering,
and it was a hummer from the start.
Mayor Lamkin stated that Ashland
was as much interested in the thor
ough testing of the oil possibilities
as MedfOrd and that what we wanted
was complete information.
Mayor E. E. Kelley in his address
which was very clear and calm in
statement, showed that he had made
Il. considerable study of his subject
and was undoubtedly the man for
the job of testing the proposition to
finish.
Mayor Gates was called on to sing
solo and rose to the occasion. He
afterwards spoke earnestly on the
subject under discussion and stated
that everyone should thoroughly un-
derstand that this proposition was
a gamble, that the boring for oil in
all the oil producing sections had
been such, but he believed that we
were justified in taking the chance.
Secretary Fuller stated that there
was one sure bet on Oregon and that
was her scenery and asked that
everyone come to the banquet at the
armory Thursday at $3.50 to partake
of banquet provided by the ninety
women of Ashland's Chamber of
Commerce and hear Frank Branch
Riley in his wonderful illustrated
lecture on The Lure of the North
west" Many of the Medford dele
CATION engaged their reservations
after the luncheon.

UP AND DOWN

Price continues to be dominant in
the public mind. Declines can be
expected and are in vidence-where
advances have been made. Just
where the drug store stands in this
matter is clearly set forth in re-
cent statement by prominent Chica-
60 wholesale druggist:
I'm the first place, you must real
ize that the average Of all price in
creases in the drug trade did not
reach over 33 and 1-3 per cent. over
1914" he said. "a large eastern
house, by analysis, found the exact
figure to 27.S. Those on proprietary
medicines and toilet articles, we
found, only increased II per cent.
For that reason there will never be
the same sort of reduction that
there already is in other lines.
In sharp contrast a report from
the Department of Labor shows that
Ginghams increased from IL nc
74c yard, Muslin from &c to 45c
yard, Sheets from zoe to $3.50. The
same ratio prevails in many other
lines.
Briefly the situation Is this What
didn't go up can't be expected to
come down. Drug store merchan-
disc advanced very slightly and
therefore only a very slight average
decline can be expected. Our Gus
toners will get instant and full ad-
vantage of every lowered price.

ARTHUR'S BAKERY HAS
GOOD OUTSIDE TRADE

To Judge by the quantities of bread
which are daily shipped by the Ar
thur Bakery to nearby towns, one is
led to believe that this branch of the
business alone keeps one man pretty
busy.
Each day large shipping boxes of
this excellent product are sent to
Olathe, and to various towns up the
North Fork, so that now instead OF
using imported bread Delta county
people are coming to fully appreciate
the quality of home product, and have
decided in it's favor.
