O'Gara States That Weather Conditions Have lleen Ideal so Far For Iloth Quantity and Quality of Fruit Crop. That barring unforeseen conditions never before encountered after this time of year the Rogue River Valley will have bumper crops along all lines, is the opinion of all observ ers. There was a very little early hay caught in the swath by the re cent rains, which was somewhat damaged, but the benefit to the standing grass and the growing veg etables and fruit crop far outbal anced it and made the rain of inesti mable benefit. Professor O'Gara Is quoted by the Med ford Sun as stating that the fact the heavy rainfall of the season fell In the spring instead of the fall made It much more valuable to the fruit crop, and that the amount of avail able moisture in the ground is much greater than usual this time of year With the almost total failure of crops from drought in many portions of California, and the heavy flood and tornado losses in the middle west it looks as if there was bound to be a big influx of settlers into Oregon the coming year and the Rogue Riv er Valley should be alert to secure its share and to make them all boost ers by refraining from misrepresent ation. There are plenty of good things to truthfully say about the Rogue River Valley and inflation of the truth or of prices is both dishon est and unwise. Nature has done much for the valley and it is bound to come into its own, though it is possible for the inhabitants to either Jiasten or retard that day by their attitude. advertising matter are late in com ing into the office. This is especially true of display advertising. It takes time to set advertisements or read ing matter and the last half day be fore going to press is largely neces sarily consumed in the reading and correcting of proofs, and the making up, or placing the type in place for printing. For this reason it Is necessary that the last copy for display adver tising be In by 10 o'clock on publi cation day. The earlier copy is in the better both for the advertiser and for the office. It is better for the advertiser because there Is time to devote more thought to the effect ive display and to the careful read ing of proofs than when it comes in the rush of going to press. The same is equally true of pay readers and news items, though they can sometimes be gotten In up to noon. Unless the paper goes to press shortly after noon it is impossible to make the afternoon mail south, and as there is but one paper mail north per day they have to lay until the next afternoon if. we miss the mail on publication days. Please assist us by getting your copy in as early as possible and not later than 10 o'clock on publication day. This is especially true on Mondays as the hapueninga of Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday forenoon have to be put in type Monday and they take about all the available time of the type-setting machine. TEA AS A BEVERAGE. Both K U 8ald to Enrich a Parson Morally and Physically. Did you know tbat tea drinking is a splendid aid to oue'a morals? At least that is the opinion of an English scien tist who not long ago compiled a learn ed treatise to show the beneficial ef fects of tea drinking from a spiritual, physical and moral standpoint A meal In the morning, he says, with tea as the beverage will enable a man to pursue bia day's work with facul ties unclouded, temper unruffled and a generally amiable state of nerves. Be sides thnt, it makes the body active. it-J cork for the stoppers of bottles that clears the sight, it strengthens the ap petite and the digestion and is partic ularly wholesome for men of corpulent bodies and great meat enters. It vanishes dreams, increases the memory and prevents sleeplessness. It has been observed that it has contribu ted more to the sobriety of the Chinese than the severest laws, the most elo quent harangues and the best treatise on morality. But, in addition to all this, be claims for tea a strengthening effect on moral ity. A mnu who is stimulated by a generous cupful of ten, moderately strong, will be able to withstand more successfully the manifold temptations that assail blin in the business and so cial world into which be is plunged than the mnu who is not sustained by the same beverage.

Give a boost for the valley, Help the land show dis play. Refreshments will be served after the meeting. D. M. LOWE, Committee. TONGUES OF BIRDS. That of the Humming Bird Is About the Most Curious of All, A German naturalist bas gathered soma curious data with reference to the tongues of birds. As be points out, many persons suppose tbat wood peckers use their sharp pointed tongues as darts with which to transfix their prey. It is true that the woodpecker, like the bumming bird, can dart out its tongue with extraordinary rapidity and that its mouth is furnished with an elaborate mechanism for this pur pose, yet investigation shows that the object of their swift motion Is only to catch the prey, not to pierce it For the purpose of holding, the captured victim the woodpecker's tongue Is fur nished with a sticky secretion. Inasmuch as it possesses the power of imitating speech, it is not surprising to learn that the parrot's tongue re sembles that of man more closely than any other bird's tongue does. It is not because the parrot is more intelligent than many other birds, but because its tongue is better suited for articulation than theirs tbat it is able to amuse us with its mimicry. In some respects the bumming bird's tongue is the most remarkable of all. It is double nearly from end to end, so that the little creature' is able to grasp its insect prey very rfibch as if Its mouth were furnished with a pair of Augers. Harper's Weekly.' CORK TREE BARK. If Carefully Removed a New 8upply ' Grows In a Few Years. As most people know, cork is the outer bark of an oak. This tree, known to the botanists as Quercus suber. is an evergreen, native to the Mediter ranean region, and is cultivated in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Moroc co. Tunis and Algiers. If carefully done removing the bark does not in jure the tree, and a new supply may be obtained from the same specimen after a few years. We are so ti miliar with the use of we seldom realize its manifold other uses, though its connection with bot tles dates back only about BOO years. We so commonly speak of the stopper of a bottle as a cork that we see no incongruity in the expression "a rub ber cork." - Just as our word for stopper has been derived from the word cork, bo cork Itself has probably been derived from the Spanish corcbo, which in turn is derived from the Latin cortex, meaning rind. Some authors, however, would derive cork from quercus, the generic name of all oaks. Cork is present in the bark of all trees, though in quantities too small to make it useful in the many ways in which cork from the cork oak is em ployed. The cork barked elm, the sweet gum and a few others have strongly developed cork. The Modern Cinderella. One day the tencher during recess told the children the story of Cindrella. The next day, to test their memory, she asked them: "Why did Cinderella have to leave the ball promptly at 12?" A bright little maid answered: "So she could catch the last car." St Louis Republic. The Dear Friends. "You should not talk about tbat girl In that fashion." "Why not?" "The Bible says we should love our enemies." "She ain't no enemy; she's a friend of mine."

The gardens of 'the Bosporus are one of ' the most characteristic - fea tures of that rlver-Uke strrilt " They have, moreover, a definite cachet of their own. This Is largely prescribed to them by the nature of the soil on which they are laid out The'banks of the Bosporus slope sharply back to a height of some 400 feet and are bro ken by valleys penetrating more grad ually into the rolling tablelands of Thrace and Asia Minor. Few of fhelr houses, therefore, do Dot enjoy some view of the water and of the opposite shore, rarely more than a mile or two away. The gardens of the bouses are accordingly laid out with reference to those views and are determined In form by the steepness of the hillsides on which they He.

Upon being asked to go down and address the audience. Miller refus ed, saying that wild horses couldn t drag him down there.
