This expression of gratitude should have appeared last week, but was omitted though an oversight of the Courier. development of the fruit Industry of that section. Aceordine to the Tid ings published In that city there was a large attendance at a meeting held in the city hall there last Saturday. "The room was packed with inter ested and enthusiastic fruit growers. Prof. O'Gara addressed another meeting at the same place later in the day on live toplca pertinent to the interests of orchardlsts especi ally, as his remarks dealt with trees and their planting. He was greeted with a larger audience than ever on this occasion, and his practical talk, from the standpoint of an expert on the subject, are the more appreciated on each recurring visit to this vicin ity."

A most deplorable accident oc curred on Tuesday evening when Cecil, the 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Wittoroff, sustained a broken leg in a game of football. The boys were having a practice game. nen one or them fell with such force on the little fellow that h rlsht leg was broken about five Inches above the knee. The Injury was purely accidental, such as might occur in any game of football, which at its best Is a dangerous game. The fracture Is a bad one, but at the present time the boy is doing as well as could be expected. Lot Kncli Do Hi PaTH It has been said that "he who makes tw0 blades of grass grow where only one grew before Is a public benefactor." This Is un doubtedly true and yet how few of us undertake this seemlnelv ensv task. The only reason that we do not Is, we suppose, that we do not think how Important It is to take un small things and do our part In contribut ing to the welfare of the community. I ublic roads and streets are anions the more important community In terests which deserve our attention. e should be deeply concerned in these matters and nt oil iimo. k . viiiivo uv willing to contribute our Bhare In making Improvements on these high ways, for it concerns each and every one Individually. In some of the leading states of the middle west it Is a practice for the owners of farms to turn out and with their neighbors do road work, regardless of tho fact that their "road tax" has already been con tributed, and tho same interest Is taken on tho streets of small cities. This Is the spirit that makes real es tate valuable by being easier of ac cess from the country and the homes of the city pleasanter. It Is the work ing out of the good roads problem by a practical demonstration. A Rainier Year for PnWng. The coming year will lie the great est paving year In Medford's his tory.
