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. When
Oregon is computing her resources,

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.

Find Gold in Coal.
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.
