THE SATURDAY
SUCCESS of the dollar baiwnyi day instituted Sat Ur
du v hv tho Medftml niordmuts should lead to other
efforts along tho same line,
bargain day of some kind to
eity.
The growing tendency toward catalog house buying,
as far as the farmer is concerned, is directly traceable to
the fact that he is growing away from the habit, of driving
to town once or twice a week, particularly on Saturdays,
visiting the local stores and keeping on friendly terms
with the merchants. In other words, the success of the
mail order houses depends largely on their ability to create
a feeling of antagonism between tho small merchant and
his customer.
Tho Saturday trip to town is one of the foundation
stones of merchandizing in tho small city. If the main
street shows a good country crowd on Saturday, it is safe
to say that the community is supporting its local institu
tions and is prosperous.
To encourage the fanner to come to town regularly
some communities have instituted regular series of Sat
urday fail's. Instead of having one big celebration during
tho season they have some event scheduled for each Sat
urday, advertise broadcast and put on their special sales
and special displays to catch tho bawirday crowds.
Tn any concerted effort of tins kind the Medford news
papers are always -willing to do their part by advertising
the events in proportion to the manner hi which the town
merchants advertise their goods. Tho churches also can
help make such affairs interesting and at the same time
can promote their own religious interests. The man who
attends a social affair given by tho church Saturday eve
ning is apt to remember that church when Sunday morn
ing comes.
Judicious combination of sports and other lighter en
tertainment features with something of an educational
character will make the farmer's Saturday trip to town a
permanent and keenly anticipated feature of his week.
Free lectures on matters of interest; to the farmer and
orchardist will alsrf help draw the crowd. And every
thing that serves to center tho farmer's interest in the
torn will pay dividends to its merchants.
The parcels post, if it materializes, will bring tho
farmer one step nearer the big city and in the same meas
ure will make it necessary for the small city merchant to
adppt more aggressive tactics.
tree communication between the farm and town will do
more to offset this influence than anv other one thing,
But, given that first requisite, nothing else will help the
local merchant keep his farmer customer in line so much
as frequent personal contact. Here is where the Saturday
trip to town counts in dollars, and cents in the dealer's
cash drawer.
Business men are learning that "hard times" can be
overcome if the right curative measures are employed, and
what is more important that locally, at least, business
stagnation can be -prevented by .judicious stimulation of
trade. ' It is up to the merchants of Medford to furnish
the stimulant.
.Every Medford merchant should ask himself tho fol
lowing questien: "What am I doing to bring the farmer
and his trade to Medford? Am I making his visits profit
able to him as well as myself?"
The Medford merchant cannot afford to let the mer
chant of any surrounding town undersell him. He must
make his store more attractive, carry larger stock and sell
as cheap or cheaper, and he must take the farmer's pro
duce at a reasonable price. If he does not do this he can
not hope to compete with his country rivals, for he docs
not make it worth while for the fanner to come to town.
llo is merely an aid to other towns. If he docs do this, he
will build up not only his own business but that of his eity.
JACK GRIBBLE'S CASE.
TN SATURDAYS !Mail Tribune a letter was published
A from J. F. Spencer, deputy postmaster of Dudley,
Ore., extolling the forestry service in general and Forest
Ranger J. E. Cribble in particular. The same communi
cation appeared in other county papers and also in tho
Portland Oregonian, speaking well for the industry of the
literary deputy postmaster.
Dudley is a cross-roads homestead postofice in tho
Crater forest reserve above Buite Falls. The letter is
probably the result of the printing by this newspaper of a
decision made by the federal land office in one of the nu
merous content cases started by Mr. Gribblc to evict the
settler, in which Mr. Oribblo was severely taken to task
for filtering a. homesteader's cabin with a skeleton key
during the settler's absence, to secure evidence against the
settler to be used in ousting him from his land.
The case was that of the contest filed against Dr.
Edward E. Emerson, who had taken a homestead in the
Crater National forest. Tho land office ruled as follews:
"Tn his apparent eagerness lo make out n case against
the claimant, the witness, J. E. Cribble, entered the cabin
homo of this settler by means of a skeleton key, thus him
self violating a statute, there being no law authorizing
any detective, 'stale or federal officer to enter the private
home of any person without due process of law. The lit
tle cabin home of the settler is as sadrcd under the law as
is the home of the man who lives in a mansion on Nob
hill."
Continuing, the land office ruled:
"The contestant has wholly failed to prove any of tho
charges and the testimony of the chief witness for the con
testant, J. 13. Cribble, is that the claimant did establish
residence on the land for he, Cribble, saw him there and
also saw his household goods. . . . There is not suf
ficient evidence to support any of the charges and tho
motion to dismiss is hereby sustained." .
The public sentiment against the forestry bureau is
Jircctly traceable to such abuses as cited above. If the
rangers confined llnmisolves to. projecting the forests
from fire, to resecding burned strips, to supervising grass-
BARGAIN DAY.
tivory Saturday should be a
draw country traue nuo iiu
Good roads and resultant
ling privileges and other legit
would be most popular, out when tho rangers commune
'hoiuselvos spies upon poor settlors and spend their ono.r
pjos in trying to evict homesteaders and bona fide ontry
tner of course they make many hitter enemies, as well as
wtHc injustice and hardship upon deserving people.

I.AND, Oro., Dec. 3. To Iho Kdlter:
Tho eliarKcs apnlnut tho teaching of
Christian Science umdo ly KvnuKellHt
Palmer reported In your Iwrne of hint
Thursday aro so bold and without
rou mint loit that 1 niu nnkliiK space In
your columns to refute tlioni.
H Is roKrettutde that a rollnlous
systnu which tuts done ho much to
Usntrt tll In the world through tlio
dUfU'intufttlon of the fact of tho om
nipotence of God, pood, and the con-
si'tjuent powurlessnesH of evil, should
ho chanted with Ignoring evil or
pns iv lightly over Us effects,
Crlrtian Scientists aro charged
with saying "there Is no sin, no
crime, no death." It in rather gra
tuitous to credit Christian Scientists
with snyliiK this or that thliiR. They
know that In huninn experience there
is evidence of a lack of underatnnd
Iur of tho nll-nover of Ood, Kood,
and because of this lack there exists
a belief In tho power of evil, tho axr
ctav of which Is sin and tho results
suftrliiK and dentil. Furthermore
they know that In th decree that
tho IniowlrdKu of Hod's nU-nM pre
vails, the loilef In evil lessens, and
It Is tho'i hope that mankind shall
find the way to tho truth which
Josiih ald 'hall make you fnn."
.'( w to nam thM freedom and hold
It r'turrs watching In onler not to
he deceived by tho specious argu
mentn of evil. Mrs. Kddy has shown
la her w-ltliifts how this Is to b
do!.e and earned the Krntltudo of
thousands In so ilolnK.
Thero Is not. the slightest ground
for assuming that Christian Science
makes light 0 tin or shields the
stnnnr. Mrs. !Md' says on pago 203
of "Science and Health, with Key to
the Scriptures": "Sin kills the sin
ner and will continue to ktll him so
long as he sins." Any and all state
ments In Mrs. Hddv's writlnes as to
tho non-uxistence of sin In God's '
knlgdom should be recognized as '
pertaining to the oxperlenrn to bo
enjoyed by man as fast as ho re
leases himself from tho apparent'
kingdom of evil.
When Kzoklol writes "Tho soul
thnt slnneth It shall die" tho moan
ing Is that a sinning snuso destroys
Jtsolf, became It affords the oppor
tunity for good to overthrow ovll,
Whon Mrs. Kddy says "soul cannot
sin" she uses the word as a synonym
for God, whom tho Hlble says Is "of
too pure eyos to behold evil and
canst not look upon iniquity." That
which sins In a mortal Is not tho
imago and llkoucss of God, Soul, but
Is a wrong or sinful sense that must
bo replaced by tho right or true
sense.
Mr. Palmer quotes Mrs, Kddy as
saying that "tho doctrine of tho vl
oarlous suffering of Christ Is the
most nofnrloun doctrlno over
preached and that It has done more to
mako Infidels than nil other things
put togothor." I hnvo not tho refer
ence at hand and am not thoroforo
dlsposod to accept his atntoment slnco
ho does not specify. However, there
Is no doubt that many' persons havo
robulled against accepting tho decla
ration that tho Buffering of Jesus
was ordained by God, whom tho
Blblo declares la Love, as expiation
for tho world's sin. Jesus was tho
Way-Shower and his proof of tho
poworlessness of evil was to bo In
tho nature of ati object lesson for nil
his followers, so that by following his
example they could work out their
own salvation.
It roqulros tho utmost stretch of
tho Imagination for any person to
Imply as tho speaker did that this
toachlug makes no distinction be
tween u good man nnd n had one.
Christian Science does not excuso
wrong doing In any one nor an eva
sion of the penalty, but It does glvi
tho man who Jinn ylolded to ovll the
right to stop slniilng through the
knowledge that God doos not create
slnnoiH ami thoroforo tho sinning
propensity can ho overcome, and
when overcomo thero will no longer
ho suffering ms ponnlty. Yours truly,
