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.

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

Here their dialogue was Interrupted
by the clicking of the telegraph re
ceiver. 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. Consternation was
written on every line of Ira's face.
"S-sny, Ted. w-was there some
friend of yours on the 3:45?”
“Wl.nt’s the matter?”
“It’s gone over the banking nt Fair
field junction. Some mix-up In sig
nals—bad a collision.”
Ted felt the hot blood surge through
bls arteries. “My God! Iry. do they—
was anybody hurt?”
Ira spent the next few minutes fran
tically clicking his instrument, while
Ted waited tensely, as pale ns a stat
ne and as rigid.
"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.
Ted coniinenced to pace the floor In
a fienzy of anxiety. if lie could only
do something—If he could only net!
But Ibis suspense . . .
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.

Poor, crippled children in many towns
have received badly needed atten
tion, and the bills have been paid out
of funds raised by the Junior Red
Cross.
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.
