AN OLD SONG TO A NEW TUNE.
(By Edward Vance Cooke.)
While the nation:; arc a-seowling-,
Don't forget the way to smile.
When the dogs of war arc growling,
Keep a gentle voice the while.
Absent boys and anxious mothers
Need the cheer of elder brothers;
Fill your heart with lovo for others;
Let your liver hold your bile!
While the wounded world is rasing
Keen vour own brow calm and
clear.
War is war, but while its waging,
Arc you asked for snarl or sneer?
Leave the evil to the kaiser;
Let some other one be miser
Of tho kind words. lie you wiser!
' Spend them broadcast, far and
near.
Not the revel and the roister
Not tho hollow lutigh points how;
Hot the mumble of the cloister,
' Not the bowed and beaten brow,
But when souls are dark and fearful,
When so ninny eyes are tearful,
Ilends held high and hearts kept
cheerful
Help the whole world here ami
now.

, Somewhere in France,
May 2G, 1918.
Dearest Mother:
I bad two letters and two cards
from you tho other day. I wrote vou
n letter on the Kith, but I never pot
to mail it, so I burned it. I am not
in the trenches now; I am far enough
behind the lines to be out of reach
of all the big puns and it seems
funny not to hear the guns and shells.
I am perfectly well. In fact there
is never anything wrong with me ex
cept my feet pet sore from walking.
I can get hot and set on the wet
ground or in a draft and never catch
eold at all. That is part of a ma
rine's training in France. I have got
ten a lurgo number of letters nnd
bundles of papers nnd they were fine,
especially the Judges. You spoke of
n family with n war orphan without
oilher hand. We are in a town of
nbout 3(10 inhabitants, and there arc
about a docn women nnd girls with
legs nnd hands cut off done by the
Huns. The I Inns will go into a. vil
lage nnd demand large sums of
money from the people nnd if they
didn't give, their property was burn
ed, nnd if a little child or girl or hoy.
or woman would scoff nt some of the
Germans they would run a bayonet
through them or cut their amis or
legs off, nnd there are numerous
other things, too tcrrihlo to mention,
no much worse than that, I doubt if
1 ever repeat it to nny one. When I
think about these things I nm sorry
I didn't come over here sooner.
I've got so I can sleep on any old
board or concrete floor and if I can
find a little straw I can make n palate
anywhere. F.vcrything is high in
France, 'JO cents for a 5 cent hand
kerchief; 80 cents or .! fur a short
fruit can ot Jam. I.vcrvtmng else

SUPPORT THE
MEDFORD lias too few industries to Jot nny of them
languish for lack of support. If we do not co-operate
to maintain ouv established industries, wc cannot ex
pect to secure new ones. Any community so deficient in
enterprise and progress deserves-stagnation and death -by
decay and will reap its rewards.
1 We clamored long and loudly to secure attention from
investors but investors told us to develop our own re
sources to n point justifying foreign investment. To do
tins we must make the most or our sou resources, and
sustain the small plants we have. '
We endeavored for several years to secure a large can
nery here. The eanncrs said we did not support the
canneries wc had and that we did not produce enough
of special crops to justify a large establishment. When
we did, it would be forthcoming. Until the valley is under
water, a large cannery is out of the question.
So the business men of Medford subscribed the capital
stock to establisli a small concern, borne outside capital

The prospects are much brighter for this year. There is an
increased acreage in canning crops and an 'unlimited de

per cent of all cannery output for the army and wants
more. .

destroyed the most beautiful nionu-
monts of tho earth, and with It has

WASHINGTON', July 1. All sivll
war .vetorans who aro now carried on
pension rolls will soon bo drawing
30 a month or moro under tho terms
of tho now pension law which bo
comes oporativo Juno 10. Tho com
missioner of pensions has lssnod t
circular explaining tho operations ot
this new act which reads as follows:
'The act of Juno 10, 1918, amend
ing tho Sherwood pension law of
May 11, 1912, provides tho rate of
$ 30 per month for soldlprs nnd sail
ors of any ago who served 90 days
and less than six mouths during the
Civil war and wcro honorably dis
charged, and who aro now receiving
a lower rato. Thoso who are 12
years of ago, or over, and who served
six months, are entitled to receive
$32 per month; those who served
one year,' $35 per month; one and
one-halt years, $38 per month; and
two years or over, $-10 per month.
Those Increases will be granted auto
matically, and without application of
any kind to the pension bureau, to
all soldiers and sailors now pension
ed under tho act of May 11, 1912,
and who have attained the required
ago and served tho necessary length
of time.
'Soldiers and sailors who served
during tho Civil war and aro pen
sioned at lower rates under some
other law, but who are entitled to
pension under tho act of May 11,
1912, will bo required to file an ap
plication under that act In! ordor to
receive the benefits of the now law.
The pension bureau will mnko
these allowances with all tho dis
patch possible under existing condi
tions. A special force for tho adjust
ment of cases within tho provisions
of tho new law has 'been organized.
which will handle theso caso3 exclu
sively. It should ho boruo In mind
by thoso concerned that thoro aro
now nearly 208,000 pensioners un
der the act of May 11, 1912, and all
aro urged to exorcise patienco and
consideration. While every effort
will be made to hasten this work,
there will 'be no avoidable interfer
ence with the progress of claims now
on file under other laws. A special
effort will be made not to intorfero
with tho adjudication of widows'
claims.
"It will bo wholly impracticable to
make any payments at tho Increased
rato on July 4, 1918, but it is hoped
that payments duo August 4, 1918,
may to mado at the rate provided by
the now law. It will not bo necessary

NURSES FIGHT
FOR ARi RANK
UP TO CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, July 1. The
Un'ted States army nurso must havo
military rank In tho modlcal corps If
i-ho is to attain hor highest efficiency
In tho care of United Statos soldiers.
That is tho contention of Amorlcan
army nurses, and hundreds of physic
ians in the medical corps.
lira. Helen Hoy Greolcy, attornoy
for tho committee to secure military
rank for nurses, has drafted a bill
now bororo tho military affairs com
niltteo, and awaillns tho full oudorso
meat of tho surgeon general.
I ,.irs. Greoloy explains tho situation
thus:
"Under existing conditions tho
army nurso, trained by threo years
study and experience has less author
ity on hor job than tho hospital or
dorly of threo weeks' training and
less cxperionce.
Handicapped and delayed in their
work by lack of authority, and by the
confusion and discontent caused by
their inderinlto status in tho army
medical corps organization, tho army
nurses hero and abroad aro backing a
movoinout to obtain relative military
rank.
"What tho army nurses are asking
is not a selfish recognition of their
rank for personal honor. It is only
the visible mark of authority. con
ferred by a bar on tho shoulder nnd a
military title, which will enable tho
nurso to perform her duty with morp
offlclondy and speed. As a result of
actual experience in army hospitals
It Is evident that all nurses should bo
classed with officers for tho salto of
hospital morale
"To Insure respect for tho nurse
and her suporlor training by tho en
listed man assigned to hospital duty,
sho must bo ranked abovo him. 'l'ho
basis of military dlsclpllno is prompt
obedience to ordors, and prompt obo
dlonco Is best insured by a badgo ou
a uniform.
Tho bill to confer military rank
on nurses oxprcssly provides that
tholr authority shall bo confined to
sanitary and medical mattors only,
and that thoy shall exorciso this
authority subject to tho modlcal offi
cers of tho army.
"Tho military rank asked is reln
tlvo, and not actual. Actual rank
involves a commission from tho prosl
dont, pay, allowances, tltlo of rank
and Insignia, quarters, and power to
command, llolatlvo rank is conferred
without a commission, without offi
cers' pay, without allowances or quar
ters, and involves nieroly tho bestow
ing of a tltlo and tho right to wear
tho insignia nnd exorciso authority In
a limited field.
"Already tho army nurses of Can
ada and Australia aro granted mili
tary rank, and In addition to title and
Insignia aro granted officers' pay and
quarters. Amorica should not lag
behind in this recognized efficiency
measuro.
"Tho hill as now beforo tho cnni
niltlco provides fur conferring rank
on nrmy nursos us follows:
"Ono superintendent, nnd six assis
tants for executive offices in America
or abroad, with tho rank and tlllo of
major; ono director ot nurses for
each field army, with rank ot cap
lain; chief nurses for army hospitals,
rank nnd tltlo of first lieutenant;
regular army nurses, rank and tltlo
of second lieutenant.
"In 1910, during tho Mexican bor
ilor trouble, tho army nurso coits
consisted of hut 200 nurses. During
tho whole trouble their number never
rose abovo ::50. At present tho army
nurso corps servico flag shows II,
422 stars!
"I!y 1919 llio army will need a to
lal of 30.000 nurses. Tho recogni
tion of the nurso's service and Iho aid
lo it which will ho Involved In con
ferring upon her military rank, will
bo ono of tho best melius of cull: (lug
iho 19,iinj nur oH wo mutt havo."
