There are more people in the world today who are trying to get through life w.'thout adding the eduoatioual superstructure than there are those who refuse to lay the foundation. Most pupils are content to Uuish the eighth grade, leaving sohool at this time to take up nome line of work mainly with the idea of earning some thing rather than because of pro nounced distaste for sohool. Now the question is, "Will any amount which au individual might earn in the four yoarB that ought to bo occupied in high school course and the four more that ought to be spent at a college or university, compensate for the loss engendered by the lack of the addi tional preparation for life which the completed courses would provide?" Manifestly not, if statistics prove any thing. It is an established faot that a uiuu'b chanoes of making a suc cess of his life In the full meaning of suoceas, financially, or from the broader standpoint, of doing useful tnings, of contribution to the general good, of promoting the well being of the race, Including the uarnor him self, are increased four-fold by a com mon school education ; if one com pletes the high sohool, he bus fifty throe chunces over the uneducated; college makes the ratio 1 :383, and a university oducatiou increases a man's chances live hundred thirty-seveu times over that of the uneducated. Tho school should stimulate the pu pils desire to earn. It should be the aim uf tho nigh school to increase the earning capacity of the pupil and thut is what it does. Thrift and enconomy of time mid enortry are worked out in tho high school better thun in tho grades, because pupils become more and inoro self governing. Thrift and economic expenditure of time and en ergy are the foundation of economy in tuo expenditure or niouoy. Lt is said that there are ten million people in the United Statos to whom tho struggle for food and raiment is a desperate one. Half of theao, in deed, havo given up the struggle and lake what comes. Thoro is another ton million who earn a littlo more than they need and atiU auotnor who get their living under one managemen1 O. K. LINDI.KY. fusilier I.. L. JACOBS, Asst. Cashier without earning it. Hence it la time that the school should havo among its rocogn i zed aims tho cultivation of tho desire to earn, to iucreaso tho earning capacity or too individual, thrift aud economy. A is young man wno earning somo thing and saving a littlo of it can bo depoudod upon to boon tho right side of most social, economic and moral questions. The above la the substance of a ohapol talk by Prof. Signs. Lator the following statistics wore brought in by a pupil bearing on the topic, "Docb EducntiOu Pay?" An educated man gets about 91000 a yoar. His working lifo is about fortv years; theroforo he earns about $-10,-000. A day laboror gets on an aver age about 81.50 a day, Thoro are 300 working days in a year. He oarus 8150 a yoar. In forty years ho would got 818,000. 8-10,000 mluus 818,000 or 822,000 equals tho value of au educa tion. To acnuiro this earning canao ity requires twolvo yeara of about 180 tiays eaon or xu.ibu days at sonooi. Dlviding-822,000, the value of an edu cation by 2,100, days required in get ting it, equals 810. If our young poople fuller appreci ated theso statistics fowor would bo leaving sohool to work for from 83 to 88 per woek, when they should bo pro paring to earn that 810 per day.

The first four down we carried the ball for aixty Uve yardB, simply making any j play wo desired. A fumble ou the fifth down gave Grants Pass a touch down ou the biggest kind of a flUBh. Grants Pass tried at goal and it was oonverted by a close deoision. Grants Pass scored auother touchdown in the minutes and about fifteen or twenty seconds after the ilrat half, scored an othor. The second half was nearly the same as tho first as to Grants Pass' mauuer of playing. They outweighed us over 250 pounds and simply pushed us over the Hold, not ouco showing that they knew tho game in any particular. Thoy did not try anything but mass plays. While tho Aledford team showed great speed and oaruo near scoring on thoir heavier opponents sovoral times.

Rlttor: "I can't tell exactly when we will be ablelto move into our new quarters. Depends somewhat upon the arrival of furniture and fix tures we ordered in plenty of time, but whioh have failed to show up yet It will not be long, though, until we will be doing business in the new building." A Citizen: "If you hadn't given the names and figures in thatjurticle of('yours about buildings In Medford last week, I could hardly have be lieved it, Of course, I knew that there was considerable building going on, but I didn't think there was so muoh of it. Things look a little bit different now In this man's town than they did when I flrstjstruck the place, and every time 1 take a drive through the city I see some new improve ments.

It was this way : A fellow by the name of Court Hall got into trouble in Pennsylvania several years ago and then skipped, A reward of 2500 was offered for his capture, but he Beemed to have disappeared. Some way or another a Pinkerton man found out a Court Hall was in business in South ern Oregon, aud jumped to the con clusion that he had located the man he wanted.

MOTTO: "Quick Sale AND Small Profits" Monroe (8b Miller Medford, Oregon Eastern Stars Entertain Visitors. Wednesday evening of this week was rogular meeting night, for mem bora of Roames' Chapter No. 66, O. E. S., of Medford. The members of this order always have a good time, sometimes they have a little better time aud once in a very great while they have a best time and that's what thoir last meeting night wbb like "best ever." The members of Reamea ohapter are not selfish. When they lay out to hnvo just a little bet ter time than ordinarily they invite someone in to have a good time with them. This time the members of Adarol Lodge, O. E. S., of Jackson ville, were invited aud they respond ed to the number of tweuty-three. Medford lodge has a reputation for entertaining whloh is unquestionably an enviable one and this reputation has been well earned and is being sustained and was added to Wednes day night The lodge hall was very handsomely, artistically aud appropriately doco rated the scheme boing of a Hal loween turn. The front of the hall was almost a solid bank of evergreens, ivy vines,colored lights., and grotesque pumpkins figures. The entire length of tho hall was festooned with crepe paper the colors of the order red, white, blue, green and yellow, being represented. The festooning was so arranged as to reach almost to one's head as he passed bentath them, aud soattered among all this mass of crepo paper were a number of colored eleo trio lights. There were pumpkin faceB every where about the hall all grinning at you In seeming enjoyment of the occasion. The hail was a most beautiful thing to look upon and the decorators are oortalnly entitled to a great amount of oredlt. After the regular business session, in whioh Mrs. Edmunds and Ralph Woodford were initiated, the social feature began and continued nntil a late hour. The program consisted of a piano duet by Vernon Vawter and Treve Lumsden, a trio by Mosdames Vawter and Pickel and Miss Jones, a piano solo by Miss Irene Brown, a violin solo by Miss Zela White and a vocal solo by Miss Hazel Enyart There was a very interesting picture card game put on in whioh pictures cut in three parts and these the guests were supposed to gather and member in thoir proper places many of which, however, wore still dismembered when they had, supposedly, been properly membered. V The refreshments consisted of nut sandwlohes, chicken and beet salads, ice orcnm, cake, salted almonds and coffee. There wore 115 persons present and all wore profuse In thoir compliments for the Star girls and boys of Med ford. Apprehension.
