JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown.
The Klepluinl's Plaint.
I marched In the Durbar at Delhi,
With trappings of jewels and gold,
While proud on my back rode a
Ilajah
Resplemlant, and sullen, and cold.
Today I am" marching; In Medford,
My trappings are sorrow and
shame, .
For across tho bare cheesecloth Is
painted
An ad In a tradesman's bold name.
Almost sad enough

Medford youths who will attend a
fancy dress ball.
Of course tho littlo boy was out
this morning to ask If the largest
elephant was the "O. O. P."
The small son of a Medford min
ister looked perplexed tho other day.
"What Is It, son?" asked father. "I
was just wishing that when I grow
up I could bo a fighter like Bud
Anderson," was tho reply.

Track Walkers Strike
PORTLAND, May 23.--Proparlng
for troublo in connection with tho
strike of tho track laborers on tho
lines of tho Portland Railway, Light
und Power company, Chief of Pollco
Hlover todny assigned sixty officers
to strlko duty. There has been wo
disorder of consoquonco as yot. Tho
I, W. W. are taking an agtlvo part In
the conduct ot tho strlko.
THE GROCERS' SIDE.
GROCERS of Medford nsaert now that tluv aw not
opposed to tho public market, and some of thorn
stnto that thov did not owise advertising in tho .Mail
Tribune because of its advocacy ot tho market, tnougu
this Was given as the reason at the time.
However this may be, but few of the grocers are ad
vertising and they refused cooperation in the attempt to
make a general bargain day on the day the market opens,
presumablv because it would advertise the market, which
does not look as if thov favored the enterprise. Almost
universally they predict its failure, and the wish is evi-
dontlv father to thought.
Of course there is' a grocers' side and the following
;iro their arguments:
There is small profit in handling vegetables, and it h
done to accommodate customers.
The supply from local
enough tor the. grocer to depend upon, today no is iiuuuuu
and tomorrow nothing te offered, while his customers'
demands arc steady and he must be prepared to serve
them all the time.
The local grower is a spasmodic and erratic producer,
raises what he wants, without consulting the public's
want, produces a surplus ot some things and ii shortage
of others that forces importation.
The local producer wants
basing Ins price upon what vegetables cost, m . aiiionna
plus the freight, he usually demands a higher figure.
There is more or less truth in these assertions, but time
will remedy all. No one has made a business of truck
farming because he could not market his produce. "With
a steady demand will come the supply. There must be
encouragement for the producer, and there has been none,
hence he only raised enough to supply his own wants and
tried to market the surplus. In other words, truck gar
dening has been a side enterprise instead of an estab
lished business, and without a public market, with
grocers buying in California, it would continue to be a
side issue.
The public market should offer the encouragement
needed by providing the market machinery to establish
market gardening as an industry. In 0011180 of time there
should be an immense surplus of vegetables which should
be shipped to Portland. The supply will regulate the
price, but eventually the grower will realize that the price
he must depend upon is tho price paid at Portland less
the freight, instead of the price paid in California plus
the freight.
Grocers dolefully predict that the market will fail be
cause the farmer will not cooperate, that while clamoring
because ho has no market for his surplus, he will fail to
avail himself of the opportunity. Time will tell, but there
are probably enough truck gardeners to supply the local
demands.
At any rate, the people of Medford will show their de
sire to assist the farmer and their friendliness toward him
by doing their shave, to assist them.

ALFALFA FALLS
TO
Owing to the exceptionally heavy
stand of alfalfa and grain in the val
ley this year the rain of the past few
uujs has worked damage to pome
extent, for us soon as the ground was
softened by the ruin the alfalfa and
grain fell. If warm weather succeeds
soon it will straighten enough to be
cut with small loss.
The first crop of alfalfa was nenr
ly ready for the mowers when the re
cent rain fell nnd work has been de
layed to some extent.
The end of tho week should see
fair weather again, however.
