One oi the mo1-! eiiconrainv feat ures of the poidtrv show just closed was the maimer in which school boys of Med for, and vicinity, who com posed the Kcbool organization known as Junior Thrift, and who made u special effort to ret into the poultry gallic by taking practical lessons in promoting the industry, responded to the purpose nf t heir juvenile associ ation. The ctfs from which their ex hibits were hatched were pven to them last spring, with the umlcr stnndine; between donor ami donee that the latter should pay l'r the I'KK in chicks. The hoys went abo.it the work of obtaining the hatch and taking care of it in a fashion that would have been creditable to old poulterers. Several varieties and many fine birds are represented in the results. Children Interested. I'rofessnr V. Meldu llillis, super intendent of schools, mid Ito- It. Peebles, former secretary of the local association, interested themselves loyally in the formation nf Junior Thril't for the purpose of attracting buys and (lirls to the poultry indus-' try. They succeeded in obtainim: in terested attention at once. Kf!is were, contributed freely nn the chick repay ment plan. Vigilant care and studi ous regard for instruction gave the school children an excellent start with many hatches; but the absence of Principal llillis and the departure of Secretary Peebles left the young sters without a directing hand diirinu the summer,' ill health of the late Judire Wit hi nylon, who succeeded Peebles, rendering as-i-tanee from him impossible. About two score entries were made in the show just closed by the chil dren thus started into the poultry business. These exhibit s at t met ed general attention and much admira tion, although some, of the best birds in the exhibits were disnnalilied fnun cornpelinu fur pii.-.e- by reason of the children- ignorance of the rule-. Cor in.-lanee, many of the choicc-t bird had clipped whufs. ( Mhers, from lack of proper care durint; the month before the show, hail lo-l important fealhcts ami exhibited other disquali fying defeel- that put ihem out of thi' competition cla-s, although in olhcr re-peets they were fine specimen- of improved poultry in their several ela-se-. IMIoH Successful. However, so numerous and suc- ce.--fal were the halehes elfectcd bv the children that Junior Thrift nave a public exhibition on November II in a sloTcioom on Main street, and ea rued and received the eoiumcnda lion of the best poulterers in the val ley. The children, therefore, have join ed with the Southern Oregon Poultry association in the slogan: "A Million Dollar Hatch for Jackson County in Ht'JO." Ami the boys and pii- 'will help to make it, for in their success lies the development of one of the most important indn-trie- in any tannine, community.

''We are cxtciidiui; navy recruiting over all Orefjon,"' said Lieutenant Blackburn, ''and as a result in the Oregon district there has been an in crease of over lll() per cent over pre vious years. A practical effort is beinj innde to interest interior sec tions with the navy because our sole object is not number, but rather to have all parts of (he Cnitetl States represented in the navy. "It is perhaps of interest to note that llie death rate in the navy aver ages about -1,1 per cent per 1000. while the dearh rate in civil life amonir youiiK men of similar nues averages 8.H per cent pi r 1000.
