JOLTS AND JINGLES By Ad Brown The circus ot our boyhood, You remember, Smith and Brown, How wo got up at break of day To welcome It to town? Then how we stood bcsldo the train And raised a fiendish shout When the big car doors swung open And tho elephants en mo out! And then wo waited on tho streets Excited and afraid If wo went home for breakfast We would miss the street parade. Later, in the afternoon, Out in the dust and heat Wo wero the first within tho tent, The first to choose a seat. Then came sweet combination Of thrills, and clowns, and noise. While wo sat there enraptured Supremely happy boys! And now we say that circuses Arc all alike und tame; Yet tho boys ot then and the boys of now Perhaps feel just the same. Tho moral ot the above of course Is to "takethc boy to the circus." Vnrejjcncroto Skinny. Skinny is a funny kid, I sod to him today, "Lets go out in tho lIg woods "To fish en hunt en play." But Skinny .jest turned up his nose As smart as he cud bee, An sed, "I guess our alley Is good enuf ter me." I ask you now in earnest, Just liko J ast of Fat, "Whnt kind of a kid Is a feller "What upb and talks liko that?" 1 OBITUARY 1tb. Kmnia Bello Boimsum, wife of ChaB. Uoussum of tho Medford Fire Department. Mrs. Boussum, neo Shirley, was born at Debeque, Colorado, June 30, J 891, and was Carried to Charles Boussum July 25, 1908, and died May 17, 1912. She leaves besides her husband and parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Shirley, three brothers, George S., J. Olley, and Earl h., and one Bister, Jennie 0 all residing at homo on South Grape street. Tho above simple announcement conveys hut a slight Impression of tho Krlef felt by the husband and relatives ot Mrs. Boussum over her death, nor of tho sincere sympathy cxteuded to her relatives hy her inoro intimate acquaintances, as was manifested by tholr liberal contribu tions of floral offerings. Bell (as hor acquaintances loved to call her) was a woman of rare traits ot char acter, pure of thought, word and act, kind nud loving In disposition. She niudo and kept friends with unusual success. Young as Bho was alio has left a uamo and memory behind her thut might woll bo emulated by othors. llsi friends so sincerely express their sorrow to her husband and relatives that tho know though it wftB hor Fathor's will to removo her that shp has loft such loving remem brances that cannot fall to comfort them in tholr bereavement. Tho funeral sorvlces wore conduct ed hy the Uev, Eldrldgo ot tho M. 13. church last Sunday afternoon nt tho clmpol of Weeks & McGownn, mem- hora of tho Medford tiro department acting na pallbcurors. GROCERS AND THE EOAUS13 The Mail Tribune has persistently advo cated a public market nnd led the agitation that has B resulted in the construction urdav, the grocers of Alodford, with the exception ot one firm,' the Allen Grocery company, have ceased to adver tise in the jIail Tribune. Some of them are frank enough to say so. This is the appreciation shown on the part of the merchants for a newspaper that strives to benefit the en tire community to lessen the cost of living for the people and enable the farmer to market his products, to encour age industry by keeping the money at home instead of sending it to California. The appreciation of the Mail Tribune's support of the citv in the creation of tho market, against the opposition sible, and the calling ot a special election to suusuuire posting on telephone' posts for publication in newspapers. Tins is not the spirit, either on the part of tho grocers, or of the city council, that builds cities. The better sup port given a newspaper the better newspaper it is pos sible to produce, and as the outside world judges a town very largely by its newspapers, the better the newspaper the more favorable the impression created of the city. Every increase in patronage nlant and newspaper by the Advertising is a commercial proposition. In boycot ting the, .Mail Tribune the themselves. The paper is read by nearly every one in the community, within the city limits and in the territory adjacent, and advertising will increase the business of the advertiser. By not advertising each one is losing trade that lie might, secure. But the merchant who buys advertising does not buy the right to control the editorial policy of the newspaper, and as long as it is edited along lines for the benefit of the community as a whole, he can have no reasonable objec tion. The interests of thousands of readers must always be paramount to the interests of any small coterie, in any rightly conducted newspaper. The pulme market, may cause a small loss in green goods trade to the merchant, lie will lose the double profit he has made from the producer and consumer. But a little judicious advertising will secure him an enlarged volume of business in staples that will more than compen sate for his loss in the vegetable and fruit trade a feature in which the loss from spoliation is so heavy that the prof its must be very large to justify handling. The grocers ought to unite with all the other mer chants in making the public market a success, for the market will bring in country trade that now goes else where. The farmer who finds a market for his produce is apt to buy his supplies in the city where he markets, and the grocer, along with the clothier, dry goods, hard ware and other merchants, should prosper. There exists in certain sections throughout the county a feeling o animosity toward Medford, uncalled for and unreasonable, due in some instances to local jealousy, in others to resentment on account of new ideas and progress, and in other cases to the systematic circulation of false hoods for political effect. As a matter of fact the hope of the county and its future depends very largely upon Medford, its optimism, its energy and its ability to attract capital and population to unlock its natural resources and breathe life into their development. Some of the bitterness cherished toward Medford can be directly traced to the inability of the producer to mar ket his products here. Grocers have purchased from com mission houses produce shipped in from other sections, when they could have bought home grown articles. The producer therefore has, in resentment, bought his supplies elsewhere, and other merchants, besides the grocer, have lost by it. The public market is intended to remedy this condi tion. It is an opportunity i'or the farmer to sell his product direct to the consumer, and the consumer to buy his vegetables less the middleman's profit, direct from the grower. Medford merchants should and the city in making the market a success. The market is here, and here to stay, and the grocers might as well adapt themselves to the new conditions and lend their cooperation. In no other way can the friendship of the country be so quickly secured and so firmly cemented. It would be an excellent idea for the merchants to have a bargain on market day to advertise the opening of the new market and provide a program of entertainment. If the merchants do not take hold of the matter as a body, the commercial club should, for a public market for Med ford is one of the city's best advertisements and drawing cards, a most attractive feature for the resident and the ii i- -i.ii... - i. i .... : : :,... :.,,!.,,.,. smau larmer ol me present ami nu nuiuigriiuuu muiiuu ment for the future. The Mail Tribune hopes the grocers will take the broad view of the matter, for it will react to their own benefit as well as that of the entire community tnd it would like the privilege of demonstrating that a judicious advertising campaign will more than offset by increased business any loss susiameu on account 01 mc puuiiu jiuu-kuu The Mail Tribune will always .be found advocating what it conceives the best interests of the community.
