SUBSCRIPTION $1.30 PER YEAR nwrd In tne Postolbee t Medford, Oregon os Second-Class Mull Muter. Tub nomination of McKinley and Roosevelt by the National Re publican Convention for president And vice president is without doubt the strongest presidental 'earn that ould have been chosen in the United States. They are both men of national note, have both had large experience in publio affairs and are recognized as statesmen of distin guished ability and Buperior execu tive powers. In view of the open menace of the Chioago Platform of four years ago to the general busi- sess interests of the country, and which will be re-affirmed by the Democratic party, the east, in order to make success doubly certain, de manded the strongest ticket that could be put tip. And that these two distinguished Americans should have been chosen without opposi tion in a country of such extent and magnitude and with so many con flicting interests and opinions, to be the standard bearers of the great Republican party in the coming national contest, is conclusive evi dence of the general conviction that they are specially equipped to meet the requirements and responsibili ties of existing conditions. With theBe trained and watchful pilots at the wheel, the American people need have no fears of national ship' wreck or disaster. They can rest teen red that every avenue of dsn ger will be guarded, every domestic industry fostered and all the varied, complex and diversified interests of a progressive commonwealth pro tected and promoted.

If and Muller on a Summer's day Went out to rake the fragrant hay. -She glanced up toward the distant town To ree if the Judge was riding down. Then Hhe leaned upon her rake to rest, And a nameless longing filled ber breast. A blue fly buzzed around her and Cot smashed upon her soft, while hand. Again she looked, and her round cheeks giowea A speck appeared far up the road. If and raked the hay with all her might. Still keeping the growing speck in sipht. In his automobile the Judge sat proud, leaving behind him a thick dust cloud. &ed never been out until that day In the splendid thing, and his heart was gay. O'er his features played a contented smile As he ran over dogs in a lordly style. 3Saud saw him come, and ber heart le iped high As she dropped her rake, saying, "My, oh, my!" Then she rushed where the cool spring bubbled op, And stooped to fill her little old cup. "Sne sped to the tree beside the lane Where the Judge's mare with the chestnut mane Had gnawed the rails and pawed the sod, "While the Judge had been saying things-to Maud. On, on he came like a fast express! She gave a bitch to the back of her dress -And straightened her hat and jabbed her hair, To be sure the frizzles and all were there. The Judge gave his gray mustache a twirl - -And smiled as he spied the waiting girl, And gazed at the sky. as If wondering whether Jhe clouds In the west would bring wet .weather. .And noticed the grass and flowers and trees And the grazing klne as he oleft the breeze. Then be grasped a handle somewhere, at last. To stop himself from going so fast; JBut it seemed to stick, and he gave a Jerk, aou .m um.wi w unu mm ib woman t worK I ' And, in his hurry, he steered at Maud, ho dropped her cup and yelled, "Oh, Lord 1" And tried to climb the fenoe and got Salf way across, when like a shot Trom a cannon, the Judge arrived and went On, after the manner of Gov. Kent. At last Mand rose from the wreck and gazed Around at the scattered rails, amazed. Bbe saw the cow rush o'er the mead, Developing awful rate of speed. She beard hens cackle and people call, And then, at last, she remembered all. Looking away o'er the fields she saw The undulating expounder of law, As he skipped the valleys Bnd hit the hills And smashed the fenoe and Jumped the rills. Clutching her brow, she sighed, "Ah, mel" Which the mocking bird echoed from his tree. , Then she took up her rake and mused awhile, Saying, "Blast the antomobeel or byle I -way didn't be stick to the sorrel mare? Ah, where is be now!" Echo answered. "Where7" , ' Maud's rake is banging nnnsed today; Ha a horseless age what's the use of hay?

In the evening at 8 o'clock the subject will be "The Tongue." All are cordially in--vlted to attend all. our services. A strong oholr of young people assists in all our servloes and helps to make them .interesting as well as helpful. District 36 is happy in the possession of two teachers instead of one. Mrs, flanby enjoys school work so much that she takes charge of the younger pupils and so leaves more time for Hr. H. to devote to the older ones. This is a fine season for school house building and good fir logs are in de mand on upper Rogue river. Districts 28, 80 and 78 have led the way and 66 is soon to follow. Misses Bradbury, Homes, Smith, Dawson, Black, Purdin, Milsap, Fergn son, Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Jonas are among the corps of teacherB engaged in the mountain districts. Recent visits to these and others in the higher alt I tudes ehow an Increased interest among pupils and an earnest, helpful spirit among the teachers. Mrs. Alice Bacon closed her year's work in Rock Point district with the graduation of five pupils from the eighth grade. She was the first teacher in the county to report a class prepar ing for graduation and to her enthusi astic and careful work is due the fact that so large a number completed the course. Two facts are worth noting by school boards, patrons and teachers. Ths best work In the county during the past year has been in those schools where the state course of etudy has been properly followed and the only rural schools from which pupils have graduated are those in which first-class teachers have been employed for at least two consecutive years past. The following pupils have completed the stale course of study and received diplomas having passed the examina tions required by the state law: Phoe nix Walter Stancliff, Harry Reamee, Nellie Reames, Sunbeam Moore, Lillle McTavlsh, William Wilder, Bertha Dunlap. Central Point Myra Gallo way, Lottie Pankey, Verna Clements, Lizzie Gibson, Lelah Williams. Neil district Elmer Kincaid. Talent Jay Terrill, Edward Dunham. Rock Point Willie White, Vlotoria Messner, Josephine Messner, Leatha White, Horace Jones. Belleview Ray Mellza. Pupils in other districts have passed part of the examinations and will prob ably complete the work in the fall term examination. Oregon, Chautauqua at Ashland, July 10-31.

Tnere is not the least doubt in the world but that Medford will celebrate in a style grander and more elaborate than any celebration ever put up in the valley. A program has been pre pared that will astonish us all. The day will open with a salute to Old Glory so loud that the Filipinos in their distant land will enjoy it with us. The timbers of Roxy Ann will be shivered, and these American citizens of ours on the Pacific coast and in our new eastern possessions will rejoice that they are American citizens and entitled to crack all the fire crackers they have a mind to. There will be a short intermission following the earth quaking salute, in order that time may be given for the grand parade to form. About the hour of ten the Medford band fif teen pieces will play music and the procession will begin its move, and the day's entertainment will begin its unraveling of Bcenes interesting and pleasant to look upon. The parade will be made up of the Goddess of Liberty car, with Miss Lillian Barr as Goddess, followed by the Angel of Peace, chariots, floats, the high school band and John Hardin's callithumpians. The committees in charge of the parade are putting forth every effort to make this the grandest exhi bition ever presented on the streets of Medford. At the grounds, near the school house, the ex ercises will take place. There will be opening music by the bands, oratioji by Hon. G. C. Brownell, the Declaration of Independence will be recited by Miss Mae Merriman. Those exer cises will be interspersed with vocal music by Medford's celebrated Choral Union, consisting of fifty of our best gentleman and lady singers. In the afternoon there will be a pulling con test, a tug of war, horse races, foot races, and several novelty races. A game of ball will be played by Eagle Point and Medford teams, for a purse of $50. This will be an interesting feature of the day's pro gram as the teams are evenly matched and there is no little amount of strife between the teams for the honors of victory. Prof. Nelson's balloon ascension and parachute jump will take place during the afternoon. This will be a feature worth going many miles to see and will be something entirely new to many of our people. He ascends five thousand feet in his balloon and then drops from it to the ground, his descent being made with a parachute, to which he clings with his teeth while dropping a distance of from two hundred to five hundred feet, before the parachute opens. There will be music by two brass bands. There will be the largest display of fireworks ever seen in Southern Oregon. There will be a bowery dance all day. There will be a Firemen's dance in the opera house in the evening. Everything is being done that's possible to make this celebration the best one ever presented in this part of the state. There are no celebrations this year in any other towns of the valley, which fact ought to insure us an immense crowd. For Sale or Exchange. Ten barrels of Kentucky straight whiskey, just from U.
