To all members of the improved O.
II. M.: Members of Weatonka Tribe
and visiting brothers are requested to
join in celebrating Washington's birth
day, Saturday evening. February 22, at
S p. in., at the Red Men's Wigwam.
If there is any day in the calendar
other than the Fourth of July thai may
lie fittingly celebrated by lied Men it
is Washington's birthday. In the times
that tried men's souls. Red Men fol
lowed where Washington led, and Red
Men conceived a government f, fur and
by the people, of which Washington
became the first and glorious head. They
wire patriots and heroes together in
a i-anse tie- suece.s of which brought
inw hopes, new a si dra t ions and new
possibilities scarcely dreamed of lie fore'
1 1 v prophets inspired.
Every couaril brand of every branch
of the Improved O. li. M. beneath ev
ery sl;v under which Red Men gather
should 'on the 22d of February be filled
ami burn wit h sweetest incense. Let
us then revel in their perfume, joy in
t loir symbolic meaning and glory in
the blessings that have come to us and
to all the world, from the sacred fires
our fathers lighted in secrecy and dan
Lfei, and from the vb-tories won by
him whose ir. iiius and unfaltering pat
lioiistn made the American flag a sym
bol of world wide leadership.
Who has better right, than we to sit
in front of the flag, every slnr, every
stripe and every color of whieh Wash
ingtoii chose with holy purpose, and
in every ilorv of which our fathers in
the Improved Hr.l,
ourselves had a part .'
Who lias better right and

see that the day diall riot be forgotten.

NEED EXPERTS TO .
CARE FOR ORCHARDS
ON CONTRACT PLAN
J. E. Enyart Tells of Ono of Valley's
Qrea tost Wants Non-Residents Do
sire to Invest, But Can Find No One
to Take Care of Orchards.
4 'The Rogue River valley needs hor
ticultural experts who will contract to
plant, cultivate, prune and spray orch
ards, take care of them in proper shape
for the non-resident, ' ' said J. F. En
yart, president of the Medford national
"bank, yesterday.
"Miuiy people of moderate means,
both in Oregon and in the east, and even
in Medford, would invest in orchard
property if they could be assured of
proper care,' he continued. 11 It would
surprise one not in touch with the ut
untion to know just how great the do
main! for such competent, contractors is.
"Another thing Medford needs Is a
real estate exchange, where all property
can be listed nnd people kept in tho
country. Hrokers should stop knocking
each others' sales, and remember that,
every man who locates hen will bo tho
means of locating some other man, nnd
if they cannot make a commission from
one tliey probably enn from another."
