TWO BOY SCOUTS
DISCOVER CUBS

One day In June, John and Harry
decided to go to the mountains.
They lived in New York and as 1t
was always so hot during the sum-
mer In the city they thought it
would be nice to take this trip to
get some of the good fresh noun
tain air. So on the morning which
they planned to go they arose early
SO as to catch the early train. They
saw many beautiful sights and
much beautiful scenery while on
this trip. They got off the train
at Denver, Colo. 1t was almost 8
o'clock when they arrived. They
went to the hotel to get their sup
per and stay all night. The next
day they started for the mountains.
After they got to the top Of the
mountains they started to explore.
While they were walking around
on the side of the mountains Harry
espied large opening. There is
a large opening which looks like
cave" he said. John said, Lets
go in and see what is in it" So
they went in and back in the cor
ner they saw two large bright balls
which looked like fire.
Harry turned his flashlight on
and saw it was father bear and
two little cubs. John shot the old
bear, and they took the little cubs
and. started out of the cave to go
to their tent. But just as they got
out of the cave they saw the moth
err bear coming. She saw them
taking her little ones and started
towards them. They ran and tried
to get away from them but they
could not get away. John was go
ing to shoot her but he did not
have any shells. Then they let the
little cubs down and climbed up a
tree so the bear would not kill
them. Then the mother bear took
her cubs and went to the cave. The
boys went to their tent and in a
few days went home. Here they
told their parents and friends and
many other people about their trip
and the cubs.-Miss Alma Freck,

One-Reel Yarns

"'Do good turn daily Is a
mighty fine motto, George"
You bet it is, Dad. | believe in
following It'll mail that letter."
Georges chest swelled slightly. In
his new Scout uniform he was
fine-looking chap.
On this Saturday morning he was
unusually happy. The big -Four"
were going on their weekly fishing
hike at the Upper Dam that after
noon.
Autoists in Trouble.
1t was fearfully hot when they
set out at l o'clock. Two miles
out of town they came upon a
stranded auto, swelteriRg on the
top of sun-stricken hill. Two
sweating gray-haired men were
struggling with punctured tire.
Evidently they were having their
troubles.
81 think we'd better stop and
help them" suggested Harry, the
youngest of the Big Four. "You
know our motto Is DO good turn
daily"
Jaw, forget 1t. If it was ladies
stuck on the road, we would stop.
But those old men can take care of
themselves. | amt going to stop.

ter for Dad this morning. Do you
think | want to cook those fish,"
Harry Stays Behind.
1t was standing rule of the Big
Four fishing hikes that the one who
caught the least fish had to clean
and cook them. AS he paid his
penalty, the other three sat on a
log, applauded his troubles, and en-
couraged him with good-natured
taunts. 1t was trying ordeal to a
fellow of Georges proud nature.
"All right, go ahead. I'm not
afraid to clean those fish"
AS the three crossed the next
hill they looked back and saw a
third dusty speck lowering around
the distant auto. 1t was Harry at
work.
Who Cleans the Fish?
They tramped on for five more
lot, dusty miles and shortly after
the three reached the Upper Dam.
As they climbed down the bank
hey saw a Scout fishing.
Hey, get out" shouted George.
Whats that?" replied Harry,
looking up. See, l have five al
'eady." He held up five beautiful
)lue-gills.
"Oh, that's all right" replied
Harry, TRANQUILITY pulling out num-

NEXT YEARS PRUNE
CROP TN DANGER

Unless some immediate action Is
taken to check the caterpillars
which are infesting the prune orch
ards of many sections, there will be
practically no prunes next year, ac-
cording to F. B. Guthrie, field man
ager of the Oregon Growers associa-
ton. Caterpillars are exceptionally
bad, he states, and are destroying q
great deal of foliage. In many sec
tions the growers have realized their
danger and are using spray with ex-
cellent results, but in other sections
absolutely nothing is being done and
the menace is severe. In orchards
where the foliage and spurs are de-
stroyed by caterpillars this year,
there will be no fruit next year, Mr..
Guthrie states, and growers should
watch their orchards very closely
and use spray generously.
Mr., Guthrie has just. completed a
general survey of Josephine county
and finds that the Italian prunes are
going to be quite badly spotted. In
some sections the crop is light but
In others will be about average.
The Petites show at least an aver
age crop and are doing quite well in
nearly all localities.
Prospects for apples and pears are
very pleasing. The buds appear 10
have set we'll and II looks as If there
will be bumper crop. There will
also be more peaches this year than
last, Mr.. Guthrie states, although
the crop will not be as heavy as nor
NAL, judging from the present out
look.
Reports received from the William
ette valley, he states. making the
prospect for prunes there less and

COUNTY FAIR ENDORSED
BY FARM BUREAU |
p (By the Secretary of the Jackson
County Farm Bureau.)

(By the Secretary of the Jackson
County Farm Bureau.)
That the position of the Executive
Committee of the Jackson County
Farm Bureau in endorsing the
County Fair program be understood
1t must be borne in mind that one
of the projects the different COM
n unlties of the county ut their
meetings asked for thie year was
County FAIR Project" and has Il
committee of thirteen leaders in dif-
ferent parts of the county which
has for its object, the working out
of plans for a County Fair, secur-
projects of the Farm Bureau for this
year the same as the Rodent Control
project, as the introductions of pure
seed grain under the Farm Crops
project. The people of the county
now own a Fair grounds that is
well situated as regards location and
has been permanently set aside for
this purpose, something that we
have never had in the county be-
fore. The landscaping and building
ing program as outlined by Profess
sor Peck of the o. A. c. is OF a per-
manent nature and means that
whatever is done will be of perma-
nent work. The Farm Bureau Exc
cutive Committee has gone over all
the plans, taken into consideration
every detail and have endorsed the
entire program as feasible and well
founded.
Different plans of financing were
suggested TO the committee, but
they feel that II this is to be O
Jackson County institution It should
be entirely owned by the people and
become part OF the County institu-
tions, and the only means of doing
this is by tax levy. So in endorsing
the plan the Executive Committee
advises that it be put up to the peo-
pie and for them to decide as to
whether they want 1t or not, and are
not advising that the people vote
either for or against tax levy to
finance the plan. And II is not the
intention OF the Farm Executive
Committee to take any part in at
tempting to influence vote one way
J or the other. simply putting II up to
the voters for an expression from
them as to their desires in this mat
ter.
Jackson County should have a
good County Fair. everything that
has been done with this one thought
in mind. Whether this is the time
to go ahead on this program or not
the Farm Bureau Is not saying
they are asking for instructions from

the prosecutors office was in ignor-
ance Of this situation.
The circumstances surrounding
the death are such that it is prob
able that the body will be exhumed
and a post mortem examination made
to determine the exact cause OF
death.
1t seems that about 20 years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Bomgardner were mar
ried and after living together for
some time were divorced. Then she
married a man named Ames, who
died, and it is said that some five
or six years ago she went back and
lived with Bomgardner. Several
months ago they separated and In
their agreement to part Bomgard-
ner gave her a gold brick and gold
and cash, in all to the value of about
ls2S00, and his Ford car.
J Then came the marriage of the
woman to Gruetter at Chico about
two months ago.
About May 3rd last DR.. Dow OF
Medford was summoned to the
Gruetter home near Agate by Gruet-
tier and there found Mrs Gruetter
In bed unconscious and In convul-
slons. Mr.. Gruetter was there, also
his mother who was visiting the
home. DR.. Dow worked over the
patient and then left as she showed
signs of improving, although still
unconscious. =
That night or the next morning
Gruetter phoned DR.. Dow that his
wife was dead and asked him to come
out and view the body. On exam
lnation OF the body the physician
remarked that he was not satisfied
to give the cause Of death and asked
I to be allowed to make post mortem
examination Of the body. Gruetter
refused to permit this. He said that
his wife had been subject to epileptfe
spells.
About this time Mrs. Gruetter's
sister from eastern Oregon arrived
at the house, and she told DR.. Dow
that although she had not seen her
sister for many years she remember
ed of her having suffered one such
attack years ago.
Later when Bomgardner heard OF
his former wife's death he reported
the matter to Sheriff .Terrill and
asked that an investigation be made.
Then followed conferences between
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Cod
ding, the sheriff Deputy Sheriff Nc
Mahon, Bomgardner and DR.. Dow,
after which the arrest warrant was
sworn out. The warrane charges
the murder of Minnie Bomgardner
as at that time 1t was not known that
she had married Gruetter.

less bright. The weather conditions
have been very unfavorable for fruit
and the prunes have been especially
hard hit.
Mr.. Guthrie has been spending the
last week visiting nearly all sections
of the county and is well pleased
with the present fruit outlook. With
the exception of prunes all fruits are
doing well, he reports, and If the
owners of prune orchards are care
full in exterminating caterpillars the
crop will be nearly normal.
