MTCDFORD MATT, TTCTTVTTNT!, "NrRDFOTJD. OTJKfiOX. WEDNESDAY, MAY 22. WIS The Foley and Hurke Cnrnivnl ocin puny show will nut ox'n tlii'ir attrac tion on Memorial day, following the poliry they have ailhered to for the past eight years. The earnival will remain closed until evening. Everything is new with the Foley and Burke shows this season hut the nurae. There is a mammoth two ring animal show, offering 40 high fliiss nrenje feuVure: including a Squad of Pouli ponies and war dogs, in a stirring war drama; eight dim inutive Shetlands in military drills: Trixie, the horse with the hiiimin bruin; Rastus, the Charlie Chaplin mule; Yuma, the fire fighting reseue horso cleverest and most beautiful nnin.ul in the world. Yuma kneels in prayer, kisses his mistress gnodniuht, climbs into, a high bed and covers himself up unaided. When a fire alarm is sounded he jumps out of bed, rushes lo the box to note I lie local ion of the fire, dashes into the burning building, extinguishes the flames, res cues a child and restores it to its mother. He also performs many oth-. cr amazing feats and when you hear Oie crowds roaring you will know that Ymna is doing his famous society dances. : Another ninnzing and intcretinc attraction is the monkey auto races. Kight Simian speed maniacs, in cars of as many makes, burn up the track for valuable prizes (peanuts) while Monk Solomon renders queer decis ions from the judge's stand. , The. circus side show is ten shows in one. Major Joe, .'0 years of age nnd only' 20 inches high ; Bert Gilles pie, the 51:1 pound comedian of the Keystone comedy company, nnd the living half lady are among the con gress of curiosities. . The Hawaiian village offers fifteen dusky dancing belles nnd 'accom plished musicians from the isles of the raid-Pacific in a varied and pleasing program. There are six other great shows. each sumptuously presented. Among the riding devices may be mentioned the mammoth Ferris sky-whirl, the $10,1)00 merry-go-round and a new niodol U-bout, which with "ill oilier amusing features will iwp the crowds entertained every minute. The lied Cross chapter will have a large booth in the center of the grounds and the ladies count upon realizing a sub stantial sum of inoncy forearrying on their good work. V V K 'Beginning Monday, , June 10th stores of Medford will begin closing at 5 p. m. instead of 6 p. m. as has been the custom In this city for past years. (Saturdays, Si.'lO p. m.) The merchants iri making the clos ing hour one hour earlier are keep ing step with all other cities and towns ot the country who In many cases liave adopted this plan some months ago. The main reason for such action Is to conserve time and allow clerks and employes the opportunity of another hour of out-door daylight service, all of which is demanded by our country. It Is the belief of the merchants that the buying public can just as easily lie served on the new schedule by making their plans accordingly, and thus co-operate In this aptrlotlc movement. STRIKE OF NETTERS A month's fishing tit the mouth of Roirue river was lost nnd this year's salmon puck will he that nmeh small er beeausp nf the strike of the frillnet ters, who dtHimmleri 1 1 1 4 cents n pound for snlmon eauht as against o1: cents received n year ayo. The price of 8 cents was fixed by the government, which als fixed the price per case fur packing by the canneries, and after a month's idle ness, the fishermen union by -a vote of ."i7 to fy'2 finally decided to accede to I'ncle Sam's demands. Meanwhile much valuable food material has gone to waste. The canneries nre under federnl regulation. State Fond Administrator -Ayor is quoted as follows; "It has long been contended by old time f:!;'ir r.:::n t!:at there were alto gether too many bouts on the river. Professor Hastings report shows that one (bird of the boats caught only IS percent of the fish." While the administration has no control over the number of boats, Mr. Ayer suggests that a fewer num ber could be worked to better ad vantage. Speaking from the viewpoint of the consumer, Mr. Ayer says thai "the fish are a natural resource, be longing to all of, the people of the country and 110 individual or group of individuals has the right to de mand for these fish a price greater than i hiif needed to return them a lair compensation for the labor and capital required to place the I'Nh at the disposal of the consumer." BOX SOCIAL Af WOOL CLIP OF VALLEY GATHER J. I). Welch of the Columbia Itasln Vj'areholise company is iri the valley gathering up the 191S wool clip. Two cars will be shipped from Ashland and a car each from Gold Hill and Medford. The company advances 50 cents a pound on the wool at 6 per cent until sold and the price will probably be fixed by the government. Fred llerrln and Ed Barron will have charge of the shipment from Ashland, Rosenberg brothers from Bedford. DE WESSE TO BE SHOT FRIDAY FOR UX0RCIDE .SALT LAKE CITY, May 22 Howard II.

IN the first place, it has enabled the American people, through the Red Cross, to help care for its army and' navy. " Secondly, it has enabled America to hearten her Allies' fighting forces and to keep up, among the civil ian populations, the spirit to win the war. That, alone, has made the American Red Cross one of the largest -factors since our entry into the war. Canteens which provided food and hot drinks more than a million meals to soldiers in December; waive! louses, crammed with materials, situated all along the French line, all along the Italian lines, at seaports and at places where our soldiers are going to fight; institutions for the care of consumptives, institutions for the re-education of maimed men these are a few of the concrete accomplishments abroad. At home the millions of woolen sweaters, muf flers, socks and other comforts for the men in camps; the work of sanitation around cantonments and the help and advice given dependents of soldiers and sailors these are things which will "make you, your children and your children's children, in whatever part of the ' world they may be, proud of being Americans."
