Medford was the biggest and best of
its kind ever held in the Rogue River
valley. It really started the night be

street stunts put on by the American
Legion followed by a drill and ex
hibition by the Medford Fire Depart
ment at the Hotel Medford. Then
came taps by the bugle corps follow
ed immediately by the big parade
which was the best ever seen in
Southern Oregon. Professor LeRoy
gave an athletic exhibition in the
morning at Main and Central which
was greatly enjoyed by the large
crowd. After the parade all ex-ser
vice men were treated to a big veni
son feed. At 2:15 the big football
game started between Medford and
Ashland which was good and ex
ceedingly hard fought from start to
finish, Medford winning. A return
game will be played between these
two teams on Thanksgiving day at
Ashland which promises to be a very
exciting battle.
The stock is offered the public at
very reasonable prices, and made up
