Tbe method employed by Mr. Smith is uoiqns to a way, for he uses souvenir postal cards to abow tbe beauty and resooreee of this valley. Mr. Smith states tbat education le what be la striving for, be wonld ednoate peo ple the world over In rega- d to local, iseonroes, He takes tbe English speaking world for bie territory and sends ont hundreds of oards in tbe course of a ysar.i'not only to friends bnt to souvenir post card oolleotors, Mr. Smith recently aotloed aa ad vettteement la tbe Cbloago Inter Ooeaa when a young English lad, W, H. , Adams, by name, desired postal eaide from America. Mr. Smith has sent nearly one hundred oards to tbe young man, whose home le In Portsmouth, agrees English seaport and naval base. He believes tbat tbe edooatioa In regard to America given the yonng English lad wtU bear good trait for "Uncle Sam." If every oitisen la this sec tion of tbe country would take np tbe mattte of sending ont cards as Mr. Smith baa done, no donbt much good would result to "Unole Sam" and to the Rogne River Valley In particular, Mr. Smith Is great believer in the nture of Medford, as are ail of Its good oitlzens.
