PLANT SHAtE TREES
AKD HOSE BUSHES
"A thing of beauty Is a Joy forever,
Its loveliness increases,"
says the poet, and In view of this
fact let us work unitedly to make
our homes and our streets attractive.
Now, in the early spring is a good
time to plant shade trees along the
streets and rose bushes in the yards,
beautifying our own homes and mak
ing our town a better place In which
to live.
A Sunday school teacher was tell
ing the children about the Christ
mastide and what the Christ Child
means to us, and a little girl whose
soul hungered for love and beputy
said: "O, if I could only havo a
home with flowers I would bo so
happy!"
Let us keep around our children
the elevating and ennobling influ
ences of flowers, fostering and en
couraging their natural love for
beauty.
Let us wotk together to make
Grants Pass the "Rose City" of
Southern Oregon.
In this connection there comes to
my mind some lines from a poem in
our school readers about twenty-five
years ago. It was entitled "Content
ment," and began:
"Mine be a cot beside the mill;
A beehive's hum shall soothe the
ear."
Let us paraphrase It this way:
Mine be a home In Oregon,
A clime where blessings great
abound;
Within a lovely, quiet vale,
Peace and contentment all around.
With roses blooming fair and sweet
And well-kept lawns to please the
eye;
With water, good and pure and
fresh,
Brought from Rogue river flowing
by.
With shade trees growing tall and
grand
Along the walks where'er we roam.
A true "Rose City" ours shall be;
Grants PasB, I'm proud to call thee
home.

Increasing Popularity of the Park.
Extensive Improvements will be
made this season on the old and new
portions of the city park. Last year
It was demonstrated that this place
of amusement was the one popular
resort for the people and the major
ity of our residents visited the place
from once to several times a week.
The enlargement of these pleasure
grounds by the purchase of addi
tional acreage adds to the popularity
of the public play ground.
It is aimed to plant a considerable
variety of shrubs and rare trees, so
as to present to the stranger the
fact that a great diversity of trees
and plants will grow in this climate
and on our soil. Last year the park
was visited by hundreds of people
who were wont to enjoy picnic din
ners and a social time generally.
Sometimes from a dozen to twenty
of these picnic parties were on the
grounds at the same time. Heavy
baskets were carried to the resort and
light ones were brought away each
and every day of the season. This
year there is every evidence to prove
that this park will be still more pop
ular than it was last year, and the im
provements of the grounds which
are in contemplation will make the
pises Iflwh more enjoyable to the
MaHsea, It has long been hoped that
a system' tit lighting will be adopted
so that the p'Sfii pleasures can be En
joyed during the ititiiihtfr evenings.

An Interesting mothers' meeting
was held last Friday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Graham. After the
business several articles on the
problem confronting mothers were
read and short discussions followed.
A prohibition rally day meeting
will be held March 18 at the home
of Mrs. Caldwell on West C Btreet.
Mrs. Spauldlng and Mrs. Caldwell
have charge of the program which
will consist of readings, recitations,
music and songs. All friends are
cordially Invited and new members
are especially urged to be present.
Because the W. C. T. I'. Is un
dertaking to pay one-third of the
state campaign expense, they have
for sale tags for temperance, with
which they hope to gather up the

come to them. This year of all the
years the members of the W. C. T.
I, must sacrifice and serve to help
"Make the map all white."
..The Fraitdale Grange, .. .
. A social meeting of the Frultdale
grange was held February 26. at the
school house and later adjourned to
the ranch house of Walter Coutant.
A basket dinner at noon was the be
ginning of a very enjoyable time,
after which a profitable discussion
took place, each member taking part
in the subject "Things we can get
along without" which is one we are
much interested in on farm? at the
present as we are golns to be twen
tieth century farmers. Papers were
read and discussed, the subject being
divided Into three parts First,:
Things we get by inheritance, namely,
the rambling old farm house with
its many steps for the housewife; its
small bedrooms (rightly named), the
old barn, the muddy path leading
therefrom to the kitchen. Second:
Things we get from all odd sources;
such as the old rag carpet, the dust
pan and broom, the wash board, the
old plug horse. Third: Things we
are accountable for ourselves. Of
these profanity, cruelty to animals,
the slovely wife, the shiftless hus
band and Impudent and disrespect
ful children from the class.
Papers proved that we could re
model the old house and barn and
build cement walks; cover the floors,
the scrubbing of which have been
such a source of backache to the good
housewife, with linoleum; remodel
that old barn.
I was also shown that the floors
now are finished and sanitary rugs
used. An improved washing machine
propelled by the hired man, the farm
er or by an engine does the family
washing and the up-to-date vacuum
cleaners have made the broom and
dust pan go "away back."' The bread
mixers were proved to be both easier
and a great Baving. Think of the
farmer's wife dressed neatly and
having time for reading, and her
good husband whistling a tune while
a patent milker does his work. That
old plug horse has been retired on
full rations; while a new horse car
ries the family to church and the
grange.
We really didn't need the last sub
ject, for our neighborhood doesn't
allow cruelty, and profanity and we
don't find that slovenly class here.
Electric lights' are not a dream to
us, but almost a reality and we ex
pect soon to be the proud possessors
of electric irons and motors to do
the work which heretofore has been
drudgery; while we lessen the danger
of fire by being able to turn a switch
and light up our barn Instead of
matches or lanterns.
WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not In the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, a penetrating
liquid Is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription
OH of Wlntergreen as compounded
in liquid form known as D. D. D.
Prescription. A trial bottle of this
D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25
cents, will Instantly relieve the Itch.
We have sold and recommended this
remedy for years, and know of won
derful cures from Its use. We rec
ommend It to our patrons. M. Clem

FIRST BALASCO ATTRAC
TION TO COME TO CITY
"St. Klino" on the 18th May Open
(he Door to Others.
The coming of "St. Elmo" means
more to the better class of theater
goers In Grants Pass than the mure
witnessing of this one attraction.
Mr. Belasco, who has purchased
all western rights for the sum of
$10,000 (and plays it In all the big
cities, going into Portland for a
week after here), promises the man
ager of every ono night stand that
where he secures large and appre
ciative audiences for "St. Elmo" he
will send In his other shows. The
none In the world. Their reput.a
Belasc'o attractions are second to
tlons speak for thoruBclvcB. BelaBco
never leases his plays to other man
agers to murder them by Indiffer
ent Staging. JIo sends them out hlm,
sclf, under Ills personal direction,
and his name Is sponsor for the high
est merit, and New York and the big
cities of the east have recognized
this fact for years.
The plays to follow "St. Elmo"
are "the Music Master," "Tho Girl
of the Golden West," "Rose of tin
Rancho," and other Belasco suc
cesses. "St. Elmo" Is the Inspired dram
atization of AugiiH-a Evans' famous
novel of the same name, and has tak
en the East by storm, running 40
weeks at the Academy of Music in ,
New York, three weeks at Mr. Belas- ;
co's Alcazar theater, San Francisco,
and three weeks at Los Angeles. . i
The company Is a high salaried
and expensive one, and the scenery .
Is all new and beautiful. Over seven i
lamps are carried for the lighting !
effects, also the organ and voices for j
the famous church scene In the third ;
act. j
The critics are unanimous in stat- i
Ing that St. Elmo Is proving to be
the most beautiful love story ever
written, and the many dramatic situ
ations and lines of splendid .comedy
make It a play long to be remem-
bered. ,
The prices will ever be the same ;
for all Belasco attractions: $1, 75c ;
and 50c, and as over 100 names were
sent into the San Francisco office
for seats to help secure this attrac
tion, the first choice of tickets will
open to subscribers at Russell's on '
Tuesday morning ?pt, and at toe
same hour, for the ""ual &!, on th
following day.
In order that no one may feel neg
lected, they can become subscribers
by leaving their names at Uussells
any time before the sale opens Tues-
day and thereby socure the sub-'
scrlbers' privileges.
It will take over $400.00 to pay,
all the expenses Incidental to the
visit of this attraction to Grants Pass
on the 18th, and It Is to bo hoped
that our city will hold Its end up and
help secure other high-class plays
from the- same source.
