He stated that It was not his mlnulon to relate pergonal Incidents of the war, hut to tell of the effects of this war as re gards the future generations. He Btated that the fighting men were sick and tired, of war and wanted nothing more than peace. Any lure the call of war had for young men turers and entertainers who came. In the year 1914 has long since been with a message to deliver and in no wise failed lil their mission.

Aside from Bryan's lecture In the afternoon of Tuesday Chautauqua presented another groat feiutTe in the evening, that of the Czecho-Slo-vtk hand.

Mr. Mel linger's lecture was "Misunderstood Mexico,' a.tople with which he li entirely conversant as he was an in structor In the schools of Monterey for a number of years and has made ma exhaustive study of hat unhap py country. Mr. Melllnger did not go into tlje present conditions of Mexico, altho he gave a history as to the cause leading up to the unsettled state of afaJrs in that country. Dealing with Mexican citizens of a superior Intel ligence gave the speaker an oppor tunity to understand their viewpoint and his explanations of the reasons for the disturbances between that participated it is Impossible to dis tinguish any one or a certain num ber by naming individually, as all were equally creditable. The sing ing and choruses were all charming ly rendered. Chautauqua closed last evening with a fine concert by the Apollo Conceift icompany, whoile versatile 'entertainment was greatly appre ciated by the audience.

Preceding Mr. Mellinger's lecture the Regnlers gave one of their at tractive iUertalnmenU of singing and readings, and they appeared again in the evening in an amuzing littfle character sketch which was well received by the audience. Private Peat, the young Canadian soldier whose story has been before the public by means of the book he has written as well aa depicted by moving pictures, was the attraction Fish Screen Law Must Be Obeyed 'Carl D.'

He is making a hurried trip around the stale on official business and had Intended to stay in Medford a couple of days but met with an accident about 20 miles from Crescent ' City which caused a delay of two days awaiting repairs for his car. While here Mr. Shoemaker ordered Deputy Warden Walker to take' personal charge of the screening of the Irrigating ditch'ee and told him to enforce the compliance of the law, without favor to anyone.

Tho Rlecord walls because the Tidings said it had been sold to a Medford syndicate and declares that it was sold to but one Individual. Who is that Individual?
