Wo now hear of a nuni.-lcr who
tried lo not a lilllc graft out of n
memorial window. Evidently the
stnln wasn't all hi the glass.
Thoupnnds of grasshoppers arc
flying over Minnesota. What's tin
matter with Kansas!
Aro wo going to stand idly by and
see our rights taken from ns one by

been fined $'J5 for weeping too loud

As one fat man put it, "I'll pla
ball all right but I'll be aol dinged
if l'l warm up before hand."
As Shadows Go.
If the Fats haven't a shadow of r
chance, haven't the Leans less T It

Portugal is reckoned by the numbo
of a's a man has in his name so he
ought to be a good one.
It may be border work for a fn
man to play ball but it takes more
real heroism for a lean man to doi

As long n it is all for the banc'
lets everybody give it a puff.
Tlio Great CnniP.
A fat mnn walked up to the plate
And stood with bat in hand,
Tho crowd in awesome wondei
gasped,
"My goodness, ain't he grnndl"
He hit tho ball a wallop and
It fyiiled out in the lot
While u frantic skinny fielder
Tied himself into u knot.
The lanky pitcher grumbled ns
Ho thought, "If I throw straight
I. will surely hit n batter for
They stick out o'er tho plutc."

Then the thin men had their inning
And whene'er they made a hit
Tho crowd went in hysterics
Watching Fat go after it.
'lis a sight well worth the money
When the fat mid lean men play;
Go to seo them on the morrow
Be a boy just for the day.

ON IS of (ho greatest needs of the Koguo Kiver valley
is a working farming populnt ion small. producer
whose products will help keep the balaneo of t ratio in
favor of tho valley until tho bulk of orchards become pro
ducing. Only a small percentage of the 73,000 acres of com
mercial orchard in tho Mod ford district are in hearing. A
few years more will see fruit shipments increase f000 to
10,000 carloads u year. Until these young groves are in
bearing energy should be. directed toward producing more
of what avo consume, and at present import.
Tho great trouble ties in the difficulty of securing the
right people. Alost of this class of settlers who want to
work out their own salvation have little or no money.
Those with monoy are attracted by fruit raising rather
than diversified or truck farming. Those without other
capital than their labor and energy have difficulty in get
ting a start and securing land to work.
To solve this problem ill a practical fashion, to bring
the man and tho land together, is the aim of tho Rogue
River Canal company, now constructing a two-million-dollar
irrigation system for lands around the valley, and
to accomplish this purpose they aro making a special of
fer to actual settlors.
llomoseekcrs will he permitted to select five or ton
acres of land under irrigation and make their residence
thereon without any cash payment for two years, and are
then given seven years to make final payment, tho total
cost of tho land being half what it is being sold to non
residents for. This gives the settler a chance to make his
property pay for itself by its products. Ho will also be
given opportunity to earn money in addition by earing for
the property of non-residents in tho same tract.
Jn making the offer, tho company gives its reasons
therefor as follows:
"We have the utmost confidence regarding the produc
tiveness of the soil with irrigation, and thousands of dol
lors' worth of these lands have boon sold to non-residents
and aro now in cultivation. To properly care for this large
improved acreage, and increase the value thereot, as well
as the thousands of acres of unsold lands which we own,
it is necessary to encourage bona fide settlors to bring their
families into our district. J3y so doing it will enable non
residents who have had their lands planted to orchard to
avail themselves of a nortion of the services of those set
tlers' and reduce the present cost of maintenance, and by
reason of the large number of families making their resi
dence in this district and cultivating their own tracts, tho
productiveness and value of our lands will be proven, and
in basing our values on actual returns shown by these set
tlers we will, within one or two years, be justified in asking
more than double the price which we could obtain at this
date."
The Rogue River valley is fortunate in having among
its developers such far-sighted capitalists as those who
comprise the canal company. It is upon the foresight of
men like Mr. Cummings and associates in this and other
enterprises that hopes of the future xn'osperity of this
section are founded.
INFLATED RENTALS.
MEDFORD has long suffered from inflated rentals.
The rapid growth of the city caused an abnormal
demand for structures of all kinds. As new buildings are
erected the demand is being supplied, and rents must take
a tumble. Adjustment must follow the law of supply andLi
demand.
The owners of some of the flimsily built business struc
tures that did service in village days want as much rental
a year now as their original investment amounted to in
these properties.
Many of the owners of business property in Medford
have been made rich through the efforts of others. Their
sole contribution to the upbuilding of the city has consist
ed of raising rentals. The tenant must even pay for im
provements. They seem to think that exorbitant exac
tions make up for lack of enterprise.
The rent that a merchant can afford to pay is based
upon the volume of business possible, and this in turn de
pends upon the population. It is absurd and ruinous to
try and exact rentals' in a city of 10,000 that fit a city of
2"),000 or 50,000 population. High rentals unnecessarily
increase the cost of living and drive away trade and popu
lation, and frequently spell bankruptcy for tho merchant
and property owner.
All cities of rapid growth suffer from inflated rentals
and landlord exactions. This is particularly true in the
west and northwest. Portland, Seattle .and Spokane aro
all suffering from landlord rapacity, oven as Medford isv
Concerning the conditions in Portland, the Journal says:
"Jt will be harmful to Portland to get ground rents,
office rents or residence rentals too high. t is inflation,
mid the greater the inflation the sooner will be the col
lapse and the further the fall. The stability of Portland
lies in the fact that it has always been conservative. Tt
ought to be saved now from the follies and fury of a land
lord trust."'

archbishop of, Canterbury asked: "Is
Your Majesty willing to take the

King Georgo replied, firmly and
clearly: "l am willing."
"Will you solnmb promise and

govern the people of this United
Kingdom of Great Hrltaln and Ire
land and the dominions thereunto
belonging, according to tho statutes

"I solemnly promise so to do," said
the Mug.
"Will you to vpur power causo.law
and Justice In ml'rcy to bo executed

ArchbUhop.
"I will." said the king.
"Will you." mild tho Archbishop.
