JACKSONVILLE POST Official Paner of the City of Jacksonville Oregon A weekly newspaper published every Saturday at the county seat of Jackso County, Oregon. Tom Fulton, Editor. cecial Price SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 6 1920 In chronicling the defeat of Medford’s pet plan o court house removal tne Mail-Tribune indulges in a pro longed wail of spite, envy and general uncharitablenesi and concludes the tirade with the assertion that Medforc people are not, and never have been “soreheads.” PoS' sibly not. Neither are they “dead game sports” if the Tribune truly reflects the attitude of it’s community. This outburst of childish temper and ill-will directec against Ashland simply because that city declined tc assist in placing an intolerable and unjust burden upon the shoulders of the taxpayers will profit Medford noth ing either at home or abroad. There is much talk of a political trade whereby for value received Ashland was to support Medford’s court house removal nroject. If there was such a deal, and it is more than possible that politi cians of the two cities had some secret understanding, the mass of Ashland voters refused to be bound by it and by piling up a majority against the measure admin istered the rebuke such underhand tactics deserve. Med ford’s slogan evidently is, “Anything to Win” and now that she has lost, her disappointment is correspondingly keen. One Lot of i’s Waist Ovetalls $1.65 per Pair raus and Crown Brand M.

BELIEU, Attorney for Executrix, After painlessly removing the court house it was the in tention of a bunch of Medford philanthropists to boom Jacksonville as a spot of unparalleled historical interest and a Mecca for tourists. However, for some unknown reason the continuance of the court house in this city has proven an insurmountable obstacle to the scheme. Since November 2nd it has been discovered that it simply “can’t be did..” We can understand the reluctance with which a certain class of tourists nears the vicinity of a county jail but why the relic-hunting species should shy at sight of an ordinary court house surely passeth Notice of District Road Meeting understanding.

Ted sauntered over to tile gum machine nnd surveyed himself us best he could In the little circle of mirror. He bestowed a second or two on Ills tie and begun to caress Ills mustache. At least Ted claimed It was a mns- laclie; but were he not a sfx-footer pome of his acquaintances might have differed. However, It was still very young and. like all young things, was rather weak, with its best days before it. “Ted 1” Something In ,Ira's voice startled lilin, and he rushed to the ticket window.

"What they say, Ira—what ili ?y say?” "He says they don't know for sure, but they expect considerable Injuries an’ maybe some deaths." Ira was truthful but not tactful.

Meanwhile the little Instrument was still clicking, This time Ira was taking a message in pencil, With the cessation of the clicking he called out. “A wire from Boston for Tlieo- dore Stafford." Ted devoured Hie message and when he finished he was weak with Joy. To this date he rates that telegram among his most vulnable possessions. Mr. Theodore Stafford, Woodfield.

Through the Junior Red Cross thousands of children in Europe have been fed and given medical care through contributions by members of the Junior Red Cross in this country. The Juniors of the Northwest gathered large quantities of clothing for the "Wild Children of the Urals,” who were recently returned to their homes by the American Red Cross after hav ing wandered uncared for over the wastes of Siberia. And now, through the Junior Red Cross, it is being made possible for children in this country to correspond with children in other lands. One Month of Red Cross Work. In an average month this year, the Red Cross aided 423,888 adults and 101,755 children in Europe; people who otherwise would be without even the simple necessaries of life.
