She spoke of the place that a phono graph has in the school for the cul tivation of a musical sense in the minds of the children. Miss Harris has such a wonderful, pleasing per sonality that the talk was much ap preciated by the hearers. The association gave a vote of com mendation and thanks to Mr. Hostler, the janitor of the West Side school, for his fine work in keeping the lawns and shrubbery in such a beautiful condition. The meeting was brought to a close by a vocal solo by Miss Jeanette Creekpauin, the accompaniment be ing played by Miss Eva Poley. Safe at Home From War Zone The many friends of the Rev. Sam uel M. Dorrance, late rector or Trin ity church in this city and now pastor or St. George's, Central Falls, R. I., will be glad to learn that he has, in the face of many rebuffs and inconveniences, landed safely on Uncle Sam's dominions. Mr. Dorrance, with his father, Samuel E. Dorrance, of Providence, R. I., "did" together both the British Isles and France, this summer, and, like so many others, was overshad owed by the war storm that has wrought so much havoc the world over. Mr. Dorrance was a passenger on the Cunard steamer Laeonia, sail ing directly from Liverpool to Bos ton, and reaching the latter port Sep tember 7. There were 1,587 belated passengers on board, and the number of saloon passengers 680 was the largest that has ever entered the old tea-bedecked harbor for many a day. The passengers, in view of a real ization of "Home, Sweet Home," were a right merry party and compared notes of their various ups and downs in detentions en route, provocative of both fun and serious reflection. The Laeonia was .disguised with a special coat of dark gray paint on her funnels and hull, and her saloons, cabins and port-holes .darkened at night, but, notwithstanding this pre caution, was twice held up by British cruisers to ascertain, whether those on board were friends or enemies. That they all belonged unmistakably to the former category soon became plain matter of fact, and the belated ones were allowed to go on their way rejoicing. H. G. G. A Former Visitor Views War's Alarms ord from Daniel Nicholson of Victoria, B. C, who maintains : a summer home in that locality, but who with his family resided here for nearly a year, leads one to surmise that the capital city of that province Is an armed camp with business at a standstill. The Straits of Fuca have been mined, and the people on the harbor'B water front have dally vis ions of the "Flying Dutchman" sail ing up and down that coast, its guns shotted to the muzzle with pretzels. Passports are required of strangers, and it Is considered good form for one and all to join In yelling "God save the king" on any and all occa sions. It Is needless to add that Mr. Nicholson greatly prefers the halcyon conditions prevailing in southern Oregon and has his eyes fixed in this direction. W. F.

Bunch in his address last night at the First Brethren church declared that "the great war now being fought is not the battle of Armageddon, but a prelude to it ;uid an evidence that we are fast ap proaching this titanic struggle." Armageddon 5s a uible term and found in Rev. 16:12-16. It is taken from the word Megiddo, a valley in the great plain of Esdraelon north of Jerusalem. This is perhaps the greatest battlefield on earth, lli-re many of the decisive battles of an cient Israel were fought. Here will take place the last great battle in a war that will involve the nations of the whole world. For years the nations have 'been preparing for a great war which is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Joel 3:9-14, where we are told that when earth's "harvest Is ripe" and the "day of the Lord is near" a proclamation would go to the nations to. "prepare for war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; beat your plowshares into swords. and your pruning hooks into spears, let the weak say I am strong, let the heathen be wakened and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat" (Megid do). How literally this is being ful filled! Another prophecy, Isa. 2:2-4, is meeting its fulfillment at the. same time In the great peace movement of the last few years. This prophecy tells what "many people" will he. not doing, but "saying" in the "last days." They will "say" "the Lord'' will judge among the nations and rebuke many people and they! will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks;" they will "say" "nations shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Another prophecq says, "But when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them and they shall not escape." Thes. 5:3. How fully and graphically do. we see these divine predictions fulfilled in the situation which exists through, out the world at the present time, and we should not mistake their meaning. Centuries ago the Lord, through his holy prophets, deolareJ that these conditions would be found in the last days, and would constitute a sign or Armageaaon and tne cpni- ing of Christ. "''Surely "we cannot escape fKeln evitable conclusion to which this hiV flllment must lead us." Official Directory Of County Schools . .... The official directory of the schools of Jackson county, which reached our desk recently though containing but eight pages inside the cover---ls a very comprehensive and interesting document. It contains a financial statement for the school year 1913- 1914, a brief chapter of general sta tistics, a list of the schools and vital facts concerning them, lists of school officers and teachers for the current year. ; It shows that funds available for school purposes for the 1913-1914 session amounted to $325,502 and that 1249,511 was spent leaving a oaiance ot Vo,l to start the cur rent session. The county has 101 schools and employs 233 teachers. There were 6806 children of school age In the county November twenty fifth 1913. The estimated value of school houses and grounds was $600,- ouu and the estimated value of school furniture and apparatus $60,000. Of the 233 teachers employed last school year, forty-three were men and 190 women. Following Is the table of average monthly salaries: Male teachers. Including prin cipals and city superintend ents $99.36 Female teachers 67.53 Teachers in one-room schools. 57.19 Assistant teachers In schools of more than one room. . . . 76.07 The average annual salary of prin cipals was $971.70 and of city super intendents in first-class districts $1900. In addition to statistics the direc tory contains a frontisploce showing a group of five rural schools. They are vastly different from the type of school house most of us knew as chil dren being artistic In design and surrounded by pleasant grounds. They speak well for Jackson county. The schools shown are the Willow Springs. Agate, Pankey, Tolo and WeBt Side. C. B. Lamkin and hh brother, II. R. Lamkin, returned Saturday even ing from Montague and will spend the winter here. Mrs, Lamkin has been here for several weeks. Mr. Lamkin has leased hlB big ranch to Roy E. Swlgart. Mr. Lamkin raised on his ranch the past season 16.780 bushels of wheat and 5,345 bushels of barley. The first killing frost of the sea son occurred In the lower valley early Saturday morning, according to the Medford papers. Tomatoes, melons ana other tender vegetables suffered somewhat, but little damage on the whole is reported. Fruit was unin jured. , The following account of the acci dent which occurred to Mrs. B. F. Van Dyke of Phoenix a lady well known in Ashland is taken from the Medford Sun of Saturday: "Mrs. B. F. Van Dyke of Phoenix, aged thirty-seven years, and seven-year-old son, Frank, while driving across the S. I'. track at a crossing a quarter of a mile south of Voorhies yesterday afternoon, were struck by freight train No. 228 north-bound and seriously injured. Mrs. Van Dyke's skull was fractured, left knee broken and her body badly scratched and bruised. The son, because of his position in the carriage, escaped with less seiious injuries, receiving a frac tured limb, midway between his knee and nip. "Mrs. Van Dyke was carried a quarter of a mile on the cowcatcher before the engineer was able to stop his engine. According to workmen who witnessed the accident, Mrs. Van Dyke was driving across the tracks when the train was a short way off and was unable to cross before the train reached the intersection. Ac cording to them, they made an effort to draw her attention and warn her but she, apparently unaware of the closeby train, did not stop her horse. "While this story is told the at tending physicians stated last night that they understood that upon reach ing the track the horse balked and that Mrs. Van Dyke was standing up in the carriage in an effort to make the animal go when struck by the train. It is said that the engineer upon reaching Medford said that the latter story was true and that when seeing that he could not stop the en gine In time closed nis eyes, only, opening them to see the young boy flying in the air. "Soon after the accident occurred Dr. Thayer and Dr. Conroy were called and immediately took the in jured woman and boy to the Sacred Heart Hospital, where they operated upon Mrs. Van Dyke. She was found to have a pressed fracture of the skull and a piece of bone was lifted from the brain. Her condition is considered very critical." VeteranSiWUl Not Meet Here The Southern Oregon Veterans' Association, in encampment at Grants Pass, selected Medford as the place for the holding of the 1915 encamp ment, and will meet there in Septem ber next year.
