R ANNUM IN ADVANCE A CREDI I TO THE VALLEY editions of various newspapers and periodicals, is A NNUAL sued for the purpose of displaying the progress and ad vantages of various communities and districts, are current at this particular season. Up' n most of these issues the publishers have bent every effort tov ml prolu ein g a strongly sustained and typographically beautiful argument f o r their localities. Southern Oregon and the Rogue River Valley need offer no apol ogy for the splendi'd representation given through the New Year’s number of the Medford Mail-Tribune. Were the issue to be compiled in magazine form, both its subject m atter and pro fusion of instructive and beautiful illustrations would make it a best seller on the news stands. As a newspaper it is a typo graphical triumph, and as the courier of Southern Oregon’s manifold advantages it is the best word that has gone forth from the valley since the edition of one year ago. The annual issue of the Mail-Tribune depends largely for its support upon the Medford district, although it is devoted to the valley gener ally. It should be more liberally supported by the business men of sister towns and the country districts when the next oppor tunity is afforded. O verdrafts Unsecured 1 I "x ill I I" i l l B. H.

Too often we find the games of our young people a search for a suggestion In Immorality and a Btepping-stone to sin. The pastor should supervise the growing lives of young people, approve their amuse ments, create expressions of Joy and pleasure that makes for Christian character and bless their lives with Christian modesty.
