We did not know, for instance, that the yield from ten acres of Bart lett pears tn southern Oregon 83750. whereas the yield from acres of Kansas wheat is only 83OSO. Thus we perceive, to quote the Med ford contemporary, that "acre for acre, the Jackson county pear acre matches 12.17 acres of Kansas wheat.” To round out this newly acquired information we are told that the 1921 pear and apple crop of the Rogue river valley is worth not less than 82.500,000 in cash.

THE LESSON OF THE FAIR Under adverse circumstances, handicapped by the fact that it must be builded from the ground up. the Josephine fair, the embryo Southern Oregon exposition, has put on a won derfully satisfactory show. It has this season established a foundation npon which a future greatness can be built. Great credit is due to those who have labored for the success of the fair, for much of personal effort and of sacrifice had to be put into the enterprise to make it the credit- able undertaking that it is. The setting for the fair is undoubt edly unequalled in the west. Upon the banks of the Rogue, adjoining the city parks, and only a few min utes walk from the center of the eity, it presents a possibility for fu- ture development as a beauty place that will be a wonderful asset to the people of the district, Before an other fair season the main building will no doubt be completed, making an exhibition palace that will pro vide for the housing of many times the exhibits received this year. Yet the exhibits of this season could have been shown to better advantage in more adequate space. There is a future for the fair, the annual exposition of the resources of Southern Oregon, limited only by the extent of the cooperative effort that is put into it. The possibility is here, the desire is here, and the big show is on the way. Let it ex- ploit the products of the soil, of the ' forest and the mine, of the industry and particularly let it exploit those other features that are the very heart of this Southern Oregon coun- try—its climate, its scenery and its opportunity for a life of health and of happiness.

In describing the Cambria coal field of Wyoming, hii expert mentions the interesting fact that gold und silver ure present In small quantities« In the coal, says the Christian Science Moni tor. From the occurrence of iron pyrite, which Is distributed through out the coal semn. It Is suspected thut this mineral carries the precious metals'. The coke made front the coal Is used In the smelting works, and averages front one to two penny weights of gold a ton, which is suf ficient to compensate for a high ash content. There has been u similar occurrence in Houtii Africa. The coal occurred in small seams running through the quurtzlte ore, and lu places was quite rich in gold, the ash being colored a bright purple by I lie finely divided particles of metal. Too Many Prefer Dark Side. There Is art old saying that "ns a man thlnketh in his heart so is he.” I believe there Is a gnat deal of truth In the adage, remarks a prominent Philadelphia physician. Also, J am surt* there Is a great deal of medicine in It. When n man begins to grow gloomy, looks on the 'lark side of every question, sees the shadows and not tlie lights; when he begins to go about with a long face and tells Ills friends nnd neighbors what ails hint— he is on the road to sickness and per haps death. The fellow who smiles as he travels along the road of life seems to chase away the demons that are forever looking for an Inristd <>n health. So cheer up. That Is what 1 would tell every one of my patients If they would let me, but most of them prefer to look on the .«ad stile of life.
