Cleo Kirk, Lelth Abbott and Har vey Watt went to Medford in the lat ter's car Wednesday. The chief ob ject of The visit was to distribute advertising on the Ashland Medford game, but the fellows visited Med ford high school, where they received a rousing reception when Kirk and Abbott appeared before the assembly and gave a short talk on the coming jTe8sle Thintrunks Harvey Watt game. A short Medford song andR0SieRed Sox Leith Abbott yell rally was witnessed by the boysjHa7el jiadarip. Elwood Hedburg and the entire building was inspected ; Sadie silmshanks Cecil Norton by the Ashlanders. The clean root-i Fannie patfeet Paul Winters ing and lack of rowdyism which was prevalent during Saturday's games is one result of the missionaries' tour to the neighboring city. Street Parade Small. The street demonstration of school spirit which was held Friday evening and which It was hoped would far outdistance past rallies was not so great a success as the street parade which preceded the Klamath game.

The even ing's entertainment consisted of snappy songs, well-executed dancing formatilons, demonstration of the latest dances, etc. The flashy cos-, tumes of the chorus girls was one of the big things of note about the pro duction. Most of them used to be long to "big sister" and they were brought to the theatre in an envel ope (nuff sed).

The chief feature of the evening was the report of the state meeting of the Congress of Mothers which met at The Dalles in October.

In the recent ticket-selling contest Alda Heer carried off first honors by selling 102 tickets and 20 "You Know Us, Medford" pins. This was far above her nearest competitor and is by far the largest number of tick ets ever sold by ono pupil in the his tory of the high school. Miss Heer received as her prize a ticket to the game here Saturday and will receive expense money and ticket to the Ashland-Medford game at Medford Thanksgiving day. Dwight Gregg sold 25 tickets in this contest. Juniors Start Things. In order to raise money for the Junior-senior reception next spring, the Junior class have started their campaign early against the elusive dollar. The Junior girls sold candy at the Saturday game and realized a neat little sum as profit for their work. The class is also going to give a high school box social in the gym nasium of the high sfchool building Friday evening. This is the first en tertainment of its kind to be held this year and the event gives prom ise of being a lively affair.

Several Medford girls visited Ash land friends Saturday. Miss Lorena Stratton and Myrl Davis spent the week-end with Miss Priscllla Carna han while many of the girls spent Saturday with their Ashland friends. Basketball Star Back. Cecil Grisez, for two years a mem ber of Ashland high basketball team and recognized as one of the best for wards in interscholastic circles of the state, returned to Ashland Sunday after a month's stay in Sacramento. It is rumored that "Greasy" intends to cast his lot with the Ashland baa keters again this year, which, if true, will cause Medford to give up all hopes of ever defeating Ashland high, a feat which they have never accom plished in the past eight years In basketball. Supt. Briscoe Opens ;:: Business Meii's Eyes "During the past summer vacation a portion of tho boys and girls of the Ashland high school earned be tween $8,000 and $9,000," stated Superintendent of Schools Briscoe before tile Ashland Commercial Club last week. The business men in tho audience sat up. Could an amount like this bo earned by boys and girls between 14 and 18 years of age? Mr. Briscoe proceeded to show that it could and why it could, and by the time he had sat down to a hearty storm of applause the thirty men in the room had a totally dif ferent understanding of the work which the Ashland high school is doing and of the part the citizens of Ashland can play in advancing this work. Mr. Briscoe told of the things, ac complished by the employment bu reau organized by the Alumni Associ ation, How during the past summer every boy from the high school who wanted to work and did not find a Job himself, Was placed by the bu reau in a good Job with good wages, How letters and finally telephone calls pouted in from Hilt, Weed, Klamath Fallo and scores of farms and orchards until all the boys were placed, and still the calls came. How many were permanently placed in fine positions with good salaries. He then told of the nex aim of the alumni bureau, which was to se cure the odd Job work throughout the city for the boys and girls who needed the money instead of allow ing the cash to go to transients. He made an appeal to the business men to call up the high school when a boy was needed and told of the sys tem which was being evolved where by the boys particularly suited for various kinds of work would be sent in answer to queries and how each boy would be checked up and cut off the employment list if his work was not satisfactory. "Even if the boys have to miss a few lessons we will send them out at any time," he re marked; "some things are more im portant than lessons, and enabling the boy to stay in school is one of them." Mr. Briscoe invited the citizens generally to come out to the school, get in touch with the practical work being done, suggest changes to make the work tend more toward con formity with the work which would meet the graduate upon leaving school and better prepare the stu dent to meet the problems he will meet after graduation. The struggle to get an education by boys and girls in the country dis tricts around Ashland was pictured by the school man. He told of let ters received from teachers In the county schools inquiring concerning places where boys and girls could work for their board and go to high school in Ashland; boys and girls whose parents are unable to pay their boaid but . to whom a high school education will be doubly valu able because of the steadfast purpose which these students will bring with them. He urged that every resident of Ashland who can make room for a worker in his home communicate with the high school and help some boy or girl to an education. Finally he told of the places which high school graduates had found in tho world with the equip ment which Ashland high had given them. How ono graduate of last year took his mechanical drawings to a firm of architects in Grand Rap ids and was given a position at $75 a month and has made a fine record with the company. How sixteen graduates of the teachers' training class are teaching in Oregon today. How a letter from the Weed Lumber Company asks If the school has any more young men graduating like the highly satisfactory young fellow who was placed there last year; and numerous other instances. He then made a plea for a helping hand for the graduates in the first year after leaving school, and asked that the business men give them every possi ble aid in getting a foothold In the unfamiliar world. .

Newell, former assistant postmas ter of Grants Pass, as part punish ment for embezzling postal funds, was postponed for a year today by Federal Judge Wolverton, because Newell is suffering from grave Btom ach trouble.
