Some time was devoted to the j i discussion of the great need for pro-1 I per provisions for the recreation I and entertainment of the youth, both boys and girls, of our city reading rooms, club rooms, libraries and gymnasiums coming In for their share of discussion. The feeling was unanimous that for the sake of their being more quickly recognizable to children, to strangers and even the average citi zen, In case of emergency, our po licemen should be required to be properly uniformed and helmeted. Through the courtesy of our representative, E. E. Blanchard, the club is to have submitted to them for study, the bills which are to be passed upen In the Oregon legisla ture the coming term. In this way the women of the club will be able to vote intelligently upon proposed measures at future elections. The "minimum wage" bill was considered at tbls meeting. A committee was appointed to con fer with the committees from the other wards upon constitution and club policy, which it is hoped will be broad enough to include every thing which counts for good gov ernment, not only in the el'v b-t in the state. MARKET PLAN IS TALK OF THE GRANGE, The marketing of the produce of the farm was the question of Inter est that engaged the attention of the members of the Josephine county Pomona Grange in session in the Woodman hall, in Grants Pass, Sat urday. For weeks past the granges of the county have been working to ward a solution of this problem, realizing that until it is worked out satisfactorily the full value of the farm and of its produce can not be realized. The grange members are deter mined that the outlet for next sea son's crop will be found before the crop Is grown, and are therefore making every effort to arrive at a definite plan upon which to operate. Monthly meetings will be held in this city by the Pomona grange dur ing the balance of the winter for the discussion of the subject, these meetings to be nt the Woodman hall. Authority was given the new ex- ('u,lvp ''ommlttee to map out a course, and to join with the fruit ex-1 change in the matter. This execu- I tivo committee is composed of Mes- j sers. Geo. Walton. R. F. Randolph, j J. W. Turvey, Nine Reynolds and H. M. Gorham.

GERMAN OFFICIALS OBJECT TO POEM 'Bad to j,ave dubbed an ,,imperti- m&a embassy here today intimaNd jthat the poem wouId be referred to the state department for considera tion. If the department regards tbe verses as malicious and Imperti nent, the complaint, It was sa'6, would then be referred to the war department. The poem In part is as follows: Oh, hark ye, Yankee soldiers from far across the sea Comes the news that Turkey's fighting men were trained by Germanee. That she faced the Bull Con allies singlehanded and alone With a simple faith In Allah and our Deified Von Rohne And they say that on the morning that the mighty battle broke That the German-tutored army vanished in a whirl of smoke; That their swords were all unsullied and their guns were all forgot As they sought the dim horizon in a hasty Turkey trot. A Montenegrin major gave the fly ing foe a glance, Then rolled a cigarette and scratched the match upon his pants, And spake unto his gunners, "Let 'em have a few more jolts That Is, if your shells can catch 'em they've been trained by Von der Goltz." A colonel of Bulgarians then tossed aside his coat And yelled, "Come on, heaties! Looks as if we had their goat. Just follow Uncle Fuller to yon bat tle's merry whirl, While we show 'em how to do it they've been reading Griepe Markerl." Away from Constantinople the hosts of Allah sped And the only ones that halted were the ones that stopped the lead. Quoth a Servian lieutenant then, " 'Tis evident to me That yon army has been studying the books of Von Molt-ke." Said a panting Turkish corporal from German teaching freed "We ain't much on formation, but we sure are hell for speed." So they sprinted night and morning till their lungs were fit to burst, But they won the six day Mara thonthey reached the city first. A tale that points a moral most anv- one can see That it's time to disregard the ways of Jackson, Grant and i Lee; ! For the sacred scripture tells us, "Ye shall know them by their ! works." So we lift our hats to Von Der ! Goltz, the man who trained the I Turks. And now while Europe trembles on i the verge of deadly fray. The dove of peace is cooing in the good old I'SA. For, you bet. the foreign powers will leave Uncle Sam alone ' While our highbrows down at Leavenworth are studying Von Rolnie. And down at Sunny U-aven worth let Dutch professors rule And build a model brewery an annex to the school .A marble bust to Von Der Goltz re splendent in the hall. And photographs of Kaiser Bill adorning every wall. Ami he who seeks promotion must subsist a solid year on Pretzels, cheese and w einerw urst. and good old German beer; And notify the colonels sound the warning near and far That they've got to sing ' Die Wacht Am Rhein" before they get the star. Then here's link to the Fatherland1 let's follow in her train And all take up the goose stop when we march to war again; Our motto, "Made in Germany." tri-' uniphant over fear uur slogan "Hochs der Kaiser" and the countersign "Zwel beer." y .t.
