Ity W. W. WATSON.
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. It means a for
tune to tho-c who will pursue it with
the del reminat ion to win. l,oc:ti con
ditions arc ideal for the poultry in
dustry. Jackson county should be
the banner poultry county of the
-ttite-and by PUll it will be.

Lieutenant Commander John If.
lUackbuin, in charge of the Pacific
coast navy recruitinif stations, with
headipmrters at Portland, arrived in
Med ford Friday inoruini;, neeompan
icd by hi- assistant, Chief yeoman
Jesse Kilos. They are here making an
official vi-it In t'hief uartcrnmsler
John Norslrom, who is in chorine of
the Med ford recruit in tr station.
''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.
'!! is now possible for a yonnif man
to enter the navy for a period of
about sixteen months. Cniversnl
ompulsory .service has, been reduced
by the present congress, which will
be H-rvici a! no pay, w hereas a yount:
man taking a voluntary course of
training in the navy will receive ex-
llcnt pny and be exempt from com
pulsory service.
'A IVature of recent enlistments in
the navy has been that the standard
of recruits is very hie.li. In the last
two months more than Iwenty hiuh
school graduates have cutitcd in the
navy in Oregon. Not ontv can a
younij; man compete for entrance to
the naval academy, but other paths
to advancement are open. All war
rant officers of the naw come from
the ranks, their pay ranjiinir from
$.")." to .t'tOS per month. .
"In my opinion, the Cniled States
navy is destined to become the great
est navy in the world, and must be
come so if tin- country is to maintain
her place amontr the first-class pow
ers of the world.
"I in Pelium atleiidinu army
maneuvers in lOKt, a year before the
rent war, and noted the uiiprepurcd-uc-s
of that country, due to too
yreat a reliance 011 a paper Ireatv.i
My own experience of twenty years
in Ihc navy ha- taken me to all parts
of the world, and my viewpoint i

nations toward our own."
