REMAINED KING OF HEAVEN
Amusing Hindu Fable Concerning the

The Middle initial.

With the exception Of william Il,
Taft, Senator Harding Is the first
President SINCE Rutherford b. Hayes
to use more than one Christian name.
Grover Cleveland, William Mckinley,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson (whO dropped his first name
Thomas, early tn the career) got along
without middle, names or initials. The
middle Initial, incidentally, Is almost
exclusively an American characterls-
dc. An Engiishman may call himself
John James Smith, but practically nev-
er John J. Smith. 4 Frenchman may
be baptised Auguste Charles Jesus
Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be
known to the world as Georges Du-

G. Dupont.
The use OF more than one given
name Is puzzling to Frenchman.
When Senator Lodge Is mentioned In
the French press, he is never M.

one prominent Paris daily writes 1t,

LONDON-(By MaiD-A vast war
between the Yellow and Black races
for supremacy of the world-that Is
the possibilities seen by S. S Mcclure,
American publisher, after a long
trip through the Orient.
In a long article in the Times"
Mcclure gives his reasons for be-
lieving such a war is inevitable. His
main point is that Japan, China and
the Mongolian races are animated by
tho most powerful and elemental OF
human reasons in the necessity OF
expansion. He foresees that the Mo-
hammedan world and the black race
of Africa would be impelled to join
the yellow races, because they have
been under the subjugation of the
white races.
The article urges the vital neces-
sity OF an understanding between
Britain and the United States. the
two most powerful representatives
of the white race, to defend the in
terests of the Caucasion races against
the yellow Peril" Mcclure says:
"The policies of Japan are de-
termined by the most fundamental
force in nature-that is, the strug-
gle to make living. No nation In
the world needs room as much as
Japan and for the japanese there is
no port of the world so desirable rs
North America. We find the same
condition in China. The struggle for
land has caused innumerable wars
in Europe for hundreds of years. The
coming struggle for land will be on
the scale of continents and hemis
pheres. There is another struggle
looming in the future which will in
clude also the people of Africa
against the dominance OF the white
race.
1T can be seen that the white
race has secured an undue proportion

LOSES HOUSE AND
CONTENTS BY FIRE

A house on the corner OF Liberty
and Ashland streets owned by Con-
rad Leichen and occupied by J. r.
Smith was totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour this morning. The
inhabitants barely escaped with their
lives. According to the story OF the
fire as related by Mr.. Smith. he
reached home sometime between i
and 1880 this morning from his work
on the Southern Pacific railroad and
built up a fire to cook himself some
supper. After eating, he retired to
bed, when a short time later he was
awakened by the noise of fire crack
ling. and discovered the entire build
ing was ablaze. The fire department
responded to a call, but was olly
able to save the wOodshed and garage
containing Mr.. Smiths car. only
trunk or two and a sewing machine
were saved from the burning build
ing. An insurance was carried on
the house. and also on Mr.. Smiths
furniture.

RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
interesting Relies Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Perished.

After being In the possession Of the
thrifty natives Of King Williams land
for three.quarters Of a century, a
large number OF interesting relics Of
the ill-fated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
the frozen north by Joe Bernard, who
is here after four years stay along
the northernmost coast Of the North
American continent, says Vancouver
(B. C.) dispatch.
Though priceless from a collectors
point Of view, the utilltarlan value OF
the relics Is negligible, and they We're
obtained by Bernard for piece Of
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged to
the distinguished leader, though there
Is as yet no positive proof Of this.
Bernard also obtained a number OF
primitive scientific instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer-
stiles for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910 He also brought u
collection Of furs worth approximate
ly $4,000.
Sir John Franklin, with 154 COM
paniOns, sailed into the Arctic in 1919
to find the northwest passage, and
was never heard Of again. After many
relief expeditions had failed, his fate
was ascertained In 1859. when bleached
skeletons were found on the trail to
Hudson bay.

WEEV|L
MENACE ALARMS
WEST STOCKMEN


Stock raisers OF California have
become alarmed at the approach OF
the alfalfa weevil to its Oregon and
Nevada borders. The Insect is one
of the most destructive alfalfa pests
known. For this reason efforts have
been made to limit its spread by
quarantine, and methods OF control
have been developed through seven
years of experimental work by spe-
ciallsts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Spraying with arsenate of lead ana
arsenite of zinc has been found most
successful. Arsenate of lead is used
at the rate of pounds Of powder. or
4 pounds OF commercial paste to each
100 gallons of water applied at a
rate not to exceed 100 gallons per
Acre. The poison is stirred in lit
tie water until 1t becomes a thin
paste without Jumps, then diluted
and strained; pounds of laundry
soap, which assists in making the So
luton spread more readily and stick
to the leaves, is added.
Control methods are described in

81 10000 ON LOCAY HIGH
WAYS SPENT BY STATE

At the Medford Chamber Of CON-
merce forum luncheon yesterday X.
E. Hodgman, state highway director
for this district, gave resume Of
good roads. work during the past
and that to come, which is of much
interest to Jackson county citizens.
Mr.. Hodgmans report is as follows.
In the past two years 347 miles
have been paved in the state, 369 ma
cadamized and 761 graded, making
a total of 14l7 miles of improved
roads.
There are 81 miles of Pacific high.
way in Jackson county, and all com
pleted, but about eight miles, most
ly in the Siskiyous. The coming sum
mer the highway will be macadamlz-
ed from Grants Pass north, giving a
good road over Smiths Hill, long a
thorn to autolsts.
On the Trail-Eagle Point-Medford
road, grading is now in progress. and
will be completed about May, when
matchmaking will commence.
An agreement has been reached,
whereby the Crater Lake highway
will be widened to 16 feet, at a cost
of $500 per mile to the county. Three
contracts have been let for roadwork
from Trail south. the cost being shar-
ed rs per cent by the state and ma
ton and rs per cent by the county.
In the last two years the state has
spent $1,400.000 in this county for
road development,
The grade for the Green Springs
road will be completed this spring,
and the contracts for matchmaking
will Be let this year.
Out of the Market Road fund, the
county has received $4l 900, which
was matched by the county court for
road work, $4,000 OF this amount
being appointed from Multnomah
county.
The contract has been let for the
grading of the Jacksonville Hill and
will be finished the coming summer.

deer, with an annual surplus OF l.
100000 carcasses that must reach
a market somewhere outside the ter
ritory. At present prices, this sur
plus would be worth 100000, 1000.
1t is reported that a company with
its headquarters at Nome has already
established cold-storage plants for
handling $4,000 carcasses each year.
The meat will be held for shipment
into the United States.
Distribution costs are high, but
production costs are low. At pres
ent rates it costs about $l40 ton
to transport reindeer meat from
Nome to Minneapolis. The Eskimos
own 20 per cent of the herds, and
the only item of production cost is
that of herding the animals. Alas
kan reindeer weigh about l5O pounds
to the dressed carcass, but the av-
erage weight can probably be increas-
ed to 800 pounds by cross'breeding
reindeer with the caribou, which is a
larger and heavier animal.

War for White Supremacy

OF the choicest portions of the globe;
that the white race has, frequently
with cruelty and injustice, ruled over
the colored peoples-that these peo-
pies are bound to fight against the
dominance of the whites; and that
Just as Japan has mastered all the
machinery of war, so may many OF

Mcclure writes that il the rulers
of Russia should follow their pres
ent policy OF working with the peoples
of Asia, the world is facing Il con-
fllct that will be much more terrible
than the last war.
The "Times," in an editorial scouts
the possibilities predicted by Nc
Clure, but says "it is not without Its
elements of truth, but to most Brit
ishers 1t will seem strangely eXagger-
ated and quite needlessly alarmlst."
However, the "Globe" is more in
clined to listen to McClures warn
ings. 1t says, I'VE are not all dispos-
ed to set aside as chimerical the
very grave warning given by Mr.. Nc
Clure. All war is at the bottom caus-
ed by pressure of population and in
the East and even, in Africa, that
pressure is becoming heavier and
heavier every day."
"The same pressure of population
that drove Attlla and Tamerlane and
Chlngiz Kahn westward is most
keenly felt today" the Globe says.
China feels herself a giant in n
cage and the sixty millions of Jap
anese snatching the barest living
from an inhospitable soil, turn their
eyes with longing to the rich and as
yet unexhausted lands across the Pa
cific. We, the British and Ameri-

imagine. At no period in the worlds

MIR. AND MRS. CLAIRE BEEBE
RETURN FROM TRIP TO AFRICA

Mr. and Mrs. Claire Beebe arrived
in Ashland last night after three
years absence. spent mostly in the
wilds of Africa, and will be the guests
of Mr.. Beebe's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. b. Beebe.
Mr.. Beebe was sent to that far-olI
country to prospect for oil for an
American company. Previous to leav-
ing, he married Miss Elizabeth Alb
bolt, a former Ashland high school
graduate, in August, 1917, and took
her on a 10000 mile honeymoon to
Angola, Portuguese Africa. From
New York they sailed to Spain and
Portugal, successfully lodging the
submarines in going to the former
country and from the latter country
to the Madeira islands, and they also
had narrow escapes in passing west
of the Canary Islands on their way
to the Pacific coast
For nearly three years they made
their headquarters in Loanda on the
southwestern coast of the continent
in the province of Angola. Mrs. Bee
be accompanied her husband on all
his trips into the wids with 100 ma
tive carriers.
Mr.. Beebe has many thrilling stor-
les to tell of his adventures with the
natives of Africa. The latter thought
he had come to steal their oil, and at
one time he had real battle with
them, during which four OF Mr. Bee
be's .men were killed and his party
killed four of their opponents before
they had things Strengthened out.
Mrs. Beebe also Joined her husband
in many of his hunting trips, which
was new experience for her,
She accompanied her husband and
one of the native kings of the land In
lion hunt, which occupied two
nights. They passed the two nights
in tree, but failed to get even one
lion, although they heard them roar
ing all about.
"The native king was only too glad
to 90 with u.s." said Mr. Beebe. "You
see the lions had been preying upon
his cattle. One night they killed 10
of them. We told him We would help
him get rid of the lions so he was
glad to go with us. He was a friend
ly sort anyway.
I'VE tied a live COW to stake
near the foot of our tree, but even
that didn't bring the lions. The king
got drunk on palm wine and nearly
fell from our perch"
Mr. Beebe established record as
a hunter by killing So Duffaloes with
out being killed himself. He also
killed AZ hippopotamuses, some ele-
plants and IS varieties OF antelope
in addition to many other kinds OF
big game.
Armies of ant in huge wel-cap-
tained lines proved one OF the great
est worries to Mrs. Beebe. Twice dur
ing the night she and her husband
had to flee from their beds into the
