The women of the second ward
met at the court house on Friday ; WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. In re
evening and effected a temporary Bentment 0f wnat Kaiser Wilhelm is
i organization by the selection of
Mrs. A. W. Bartlett as chairman nenf poem, written by Captain
and Mrs. Cora Hinkle, secretary. ! George Steunenberg, U. S. A., in
Two hours were spent In the anl-!wnicn fun la made of German offl
mated discussion of reasons for self- cers wno trained the defeated Tur
Improvement and the need for im-ijjg tr0ops, members of the Ger-
provement of conditions both moral -
the community.
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.
At these monthly meetings plans:
for the next Grange Fair will also
be made, the success of the last fair!
having been so pronounced that all'
believe that it will be possible to
make of the 1013 show a record
breaker so far a.- southern Oregon
is concerned. This year tine dis
trict fair will also he held here.
A banquet was served at noon In
the dining room connected with
Woodman ball, a bounteous supply
of thincs uoo, to eat being supplied
for the T.'v who parti ipated.

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
