Wis1 filffil WifflW MA W) Ilia raSWIl MlWM MMiM EACH AND EVERT DAY. THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE SALE AND THEY HAVE SENT WORD TO THEIR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS. WE ARE ON THE SECOND WEEK of this gigantis Cash Getting Carnival, which is proving to be the most bountiful harvest that ever visited the city of Medford. They're coming from other towns, trying to get here and partake of some of the thousands of bargains that are awaiting their coming. They saw it advertised; they read the newspaper; the saw the bills. ..It was somethng thy hadn't seen before. Instead of a few items that are usually thrown out for bait, they see there OVER 49,000 ITEMS ON SALE HERE. There is not one item in this house sold at the price before this Carnival started, which is a new deal, a new idea of Cash Getting, all of which we are after good and plenty. There are many lines, being for everybody in this community. IT IS WONDERFUL WORK; it is an immense amount of goods going out to the people in the Clothing line, in the Dress Goods line, all of which are a part of the necessities of life. If you have not been to see us, why haven't you been? And if you have been, it Is a certainty we want you to come again. We are doing our best to treat you the best we know how. We are just the plain, common kind of people ourselves, and we think we know how to treat everybody that enters this door. We are going to do our best. Clothing The stranger you meet scans your clothes more closely than he does your business card. They tell him more. If they are the Kirsch- , baiini garments, they don't tell him whether they are ready-to-wear clothes or made by the most exclusive tailor in town. You are the only one that knows. You are glad to know. The nobbiest, most exclusive clothes for Hen and Hoys are those sold by W. II. Meeker & Co. There is something about them that dis tinguishes them from other ready-to-wear clothes, but the most attractive feature is the price. $1.94 to 14.75. Drop in and see them. If your own judgment does not prompt you to buy, you will not be urged. Ladies' Ready-to-Wear Apparel is marked down so low that we feel sure we will see every lady in the city wearing some of it within the next two weeks. It is stylish and up-to-date, not a shop-worn article in the lot, and in the prettiest materials and best tailored effects shown anywhere in this sec tion of the country. Ladies', Misses' and Children's Coats and Jackets; and Skirts for all sizes of ladies. $1.99 to $19.99 Look Over the Situation Make out your want list and do not leave out a single item, for you will get the whole list for less money than you imagined possible. We want to show you what we mean by a Big Reduction in Price. We want you to come in and get acquainted if you have never been here before. If you have, we assure you, you will receive the same warm, cheery welcome you have always found awaiting you in our store. It will pay you to come a good many miles and make some sacrifices if necessary in order to attend this big event for neither we nor any other merchants in this city or the surrounding towns can afford to offer such prices again. Think of the Practical Side of it. Think of buying your Wearing Apparel and other necessities at prices lower than von ever bought them before. FOLLOW THE CROWD and you will make no mistake, for they are centerin gat the store of W. II. Meeker & Co. It takes the American People to know where thejr are well treated and where thy are get ting their money's worth. We Are Overloaded In fact, we are loaded to the guards, and we want to unload and get ready for greater and grander and more aggressive merchandise methods. We know they are howling on the outside. Some of the fellows are telling them we are losing thousands of dollars, but we cannot help what they say. With us it is Cash we want and you get the benefit. Laces and Embroideries With every five yards of lace or embroidery we are giving one yard free to a customer. The prices, too, are give-away values. . We can mention but a few, and the goods are what you must see to appreciate them. 49c for 75c values 39c for 65c values 19c for 35c values WE BID YOU WELCOME W. H. Meeker Co. WE DON'T WANT YOU TO OVERLOOK The Shoe Deal because in Shoes for Men, you will find them here at prices of Boy's Shoes elsewhere, and the Ladies' Shoes won't cost but little more than Children's Shoes elsewhere. IT IS THE SHOE HARVEST OF YOUR LIFE. Little Boy Blue come blow your horn, I haven't got a bunion, I haven't got a corn, My feet are as easy as they can be, I am wearing the Meeker Shoes you see. Seeing Is Believing The great work is still going on. The har vest is drawing to a close, but the thrashing is going on every day, and W. II. Meeker & Co. are using the whip, and giving it to them right and left. Can't you hear them hollering? If j ou want THREAD of any description, if you want any of the little wares, such as you might overlook without a memorandum, please ask for the mat our counters; they will tell you where they are and what they are worth, be cause the mark is on them in great, big red figures. There is no deception practised in this house. Everybody tries to make you feel like vou were at home. The Hedford Furniture Co. Housefurnishers and Undertakers Day Phone 63 Night Phone, C. W.

MAIL WANT ADS BRTNG RESULTS A most successful function was ! held last evening at the Baptist church, when nearly 100 men sat down to dine together and afterward to listen to an Interesting discussion of the topic for the evening. The key word for the evening was "Cleanliness" and was ably support ed by different speakers. Dr. B. F. Adkins spoke on "A Clean City." He urged tbe hearty co-operation on the part of the men In the movement which is now to take place this com ing week in making our city clean. He said that It had a moral effect and a social effect which was telling In the common life of the citizens. Rev. G. L. Hall spoke on "A Clean Church." He said that a clean church was best known by a clean building, a clean membership and a clean min istry. Earlem Bratney then delight ed all with a trombone solo. P. H. Daily then spoke on "Clean Litera ture," denouncing the light litera ture and upholding the good. Rev. A. N. Jaquemln, pastor of the Bap tist church of Central Point, spoke to this topic. He said: "Tell me what you read and I'll tell you what you are." Harry Tuttle, the leader of the One Hundred club, then spoke on "A Clean Body." He said that there were three reasons for having a clean body. "The functions of the body are In a way sacred, then It must be clean In order to enable a man to think right, and last, for the sake of his posterity.". At this point In the program, Mr. Edmeads rendered a double num bered solo, which was much appre ciated by all. Professor U. G. Smith spoke on "A Clean Character." He said that character must not be confused with reputation. Character Is what a man is, while reputation Is what people think a man Is. He closed with a strong plea to help those about us who have fallen to rise again, cit ing the Master's attitude toward the sinful woman. Altogether the evening was a help ful one, and at the close, before the men arose to sing "America," a vote was taken looking toward a perma nent organization and a committee appointed to further the same. Great credit Is due the members of the One Hundred club, whose pres ident, Paul Hansen, together with Mrs. U. O. Smith, managed the din ner In a faultless manner. "If the citizens In the other parts of the city only do as well as those who live east of Bear creek we will certainly have a cleaner Medford." Thnt was the statement made yes terday to a Mornlrn Mail reporter by r4 ...tiim, .ua viiBiiii, au ui nip committee of the Medford Commer- M ILL OPEN CAMPAIGN, clal club, which has the cleaning up -of the city in charge.

A roulette wheel operated In a fash ionable apartment house In tbe west ern district of the city, the fleecing of Charles W. Clark, son of former 8enator Clark of Montana, out of 120,000, and the attempt of an offi cial of the police department to coerce him Into paying the money to the ring of sharpers, are features of a case which Is to be Investigated by City Prosecutor Woolwlne. The Republican meeting which was to have been held In the Angle Opera house Thursday night has beenpost poned till Saturday night at the same place. The reason for this is the fact that word was received yester day to the effect that the state com mittee had arranged to have a speaker here for Saturday night, and It was thought best to make one meeting In place of two. The speaker assigned for the oc casion Is Hon. Wallace McCammant, one of the most prominent lawyers of the city of Portland.
