IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TO SCHOOL OFFICERS
All school officers should bear
mind that tho new school law requires
that at least 85 per cont of the state
and county fund received during the
school year must br. spent for the pay
mout of teachers' salaries; and pro
vides that should any district fail to
apply at least 8a per cent of the funds
received from tho county school tux and
tho irreducible school fund (state) on
teachers' salaries, the unexpended bal
ance shall revert to the general school
fund of the county.
Fifteen per cent of tho stato and
county fuuds may be used for current
expenses mid any part of the 15 per
cent not so spent may be retained by
tbo district and carried over to the next
venr.
TWO MEDFORD BOOSTERS
LEAVE FOR PUBLICITY TOUR
Two prominent Modford citizens,
William Hyde Stalker nnd Ed M. An
drows, left yesterday for a trip through
tho cast to boom Medford and tho
Rogue River valley. They curried a
trunkload of papers, letters, pictures
and boosting literature of all kinds, to
convince the most skeptical of tho pos
sibilities of this county. They will visit
Chieago, Mimicapulin and St. Paul.
A pair of more enthusiastic boosters
than Mr. Stalker nnd Ed Andrews would
bo hard to find, and they promise not
to come buck without many moro home
seekers to help build a greater Med
ford. TALK OF ATTEMPT TO
BAR THE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, May 13. That an
attempt will be made to bar President
Roosevelt from pjnrticipating in the
proceedings of the conference of gov
ernors which meets hero next Wed
nesday, after an organization is effect
ed, is not unlikely, according to n re
port that has reached the ears of tho
governors who havo already arrived
here.
Why such action is contemplated, if
it is, is a puzzle to many, as it is point
ed out that, inasmuch us the president
called the governors togethe. ho should
he permitted to take any part he wishes
in the deliberations. However, nobody
can bo found who. wants to stand re
sponsible for the story. A probable
basis for it may lie found in the presi
dent's refusal to consider William
Uoorgo Jordan's proposition for a house
of governors and n disposition on the
part of many of the slate executives to
adopt the plan.
An Unequaled Investment.

Curiosities of the Calendar.
No century begins Willi Wednesday,
Friday or Sunday. At the beginning oi
each 20 years the same calendar is re
pented. The month of October begins
always the same day of the week as
January; April the same as .Inly and
September. The first nnd the last day
of the year are always the same. Til
these indications leap years are omit
ted.
Double Your Money.
Pid you ever stop to think how rap
idly you can make a fortune by doubl
ing your money?
For instance, say you start with only
1 cent and double it every day for only
one month, nnd yen will be surprised to
see that you have oeeiinml.lted several
million dollars. Figure if out for your
self and become convinced.
We simply mention this tn show yon
how rapidly money accumulates when
doubled over and over again nnd call
your attention to the fact that real es
tatn in Medford is doing that one thing:
during the past two years yon know of
many insnuces where Medford pmierly
has doubled in lalue over ami met
again.
As a matter of fuel, the present prices
of Medford real estate are very low,
and it is a better buy now thnn il ever
was. Medford has donhlrd in ptquila
tinn during the past two years, and it
has only romrarnred to grow; the sur
rounding country is increasing in jsqul
lation and value faster in proportion
than is Medford, which is hound to in
crease the population nf Modford and
the value of real estate faster than ever
before.

Snow a Protection.
We cannot explain why some llidi
vlduals or viu-ieiies are more hardy
than others. The reason that trees on
exposed situations very frequently suf
fer less tliuii those on low ground may
possibly lie due to two factors first
cold air drains off. ami the slopes sel
(loin record as low temperatures as
the valleys; second, the snow came
early lat yeur, before the ground
froze, ami remained on all winter. On
tbe exposed situations, on account of
the snow melting or blowing off, there
was less protection from suow, ami
oil and roots were chilled down early
In the season. The roots of such trees
would be less active In the winter, and
hence probably the tissues would con
tain less moisture nt the time of the
freeze. This In a measure may possi
bly account for their reslstauee.
Since we cannot control the weather
we eauuot entirely prevent winter kill
lng. The danger can lie lessened by
planting only such varieties as are
hardy or withstand winter killing to a
marked degree. Professor Morse lu

To Make Nuta Germinate.
