TARZAN OF APES Medford got a distinct thrill last night with the production on the screen of the astonishing story of Tarzan of the Apes." The daring plot was unfolded with such realistic effect that the audience at the Page theatre burst into enthusiastic ac claim at the many startling situations caughtjiy the camera In the heart of a forest In wildest Brazil. Of course the novel that set the world by the ears was built around a plot laid In Africa. But the moving picture artist who screened the production last night had all the settings necessary for the scenes, from tho Vigorous ele phant who pushed over a tree that stood In his path to the wildest of lions, tigers, jaguars, crocodiles, monkeys, upeB, chimpanzees, gorillas and what not. The wild animals fig ured all thru the production from the first act to tho finish. Gordon Griffith ns Tarzan Ihe boy was matchless. There was a simplic ity that was convincing and a naiv ette that showed the true artist. Elmo Lincoln as Tarzan the man held the audience at his heck. Ills won- lerful agility and muscular powor wero not a whit better than his emo tional strength1, shown for all too brief a spell in the closing scene. The picture will be shown tonight und Thursday.

Heath's Drug Store PIIONK 881, I L As the fruit of an Idea which orig inated with Alan Hracklnreed, in the development of which he bud had the close co-operation of C. M. Thomas, a selected class of the cltlzeuB of Medford and'vicinlly will shortly en joy the benefits of a locul branch of the University of Oregon officers' training school, to be known as the "Medford Unit" of that Institution. Arrangements for the establish ment of the branch school have been perfected by correspondence between Colonel Leader, commandant of the department of military science of the university, and Mr. Brackinreed, dur ing the past six weeks. Colonel Leader's reply to the lnttcr's first let ter, In which he proposed the estab lishment of the class under the uni versity's jurisdiction, Indicates the value placed upon the proposed work by tho faculty: Letter From Leader "University of Oregon, Eugene, July 22d, 1918. "Dear Mr. Brackinreed: Your let ter of July 20th just received. 1 certainly think that you could not possibly he doing a greater service to your country than in the way you suggest. We are trying to do some thing of the same sort here in Lane county, and It will be undoubtedly of the utmost value. We will be de lighted to have you do it under the jurisdiction of the extension work of the university. I would, when pos sible, send university officers, and give you what assistance I could, and Would come down myself if I could squeeze In day. The age limit will not, of. course, remain as it Is at pres ent very much longer, and when It Is changed, the full force of your or ganization will be seen. 1 only wish there were a hundred such organiza tions In the state. , "I have the honor to be, etc., John Leader." To Extend Work After this encouraging response, Mr. Brack itireed prbceeded with the enrollment of prospective members among the business and professional men of tho city, and further corres pondence with Colonel Lender en sued, In which Jlr. Thomas also took part, resulting in a broadening at the Interest taken in the matter by the university, and tho opening up of a wider field for the activities of the movoment. It is now proposed to spread the organization of local units thruout tho whole state, upon a uni form plan which is being developed thru correspondence, ud which will involve the formatlou by the univer sity of a corps of traveling Inspectors who will go around instructing and lecturing the units and trnlnlng them in the higher sciences of war, such as bombing, bayonetting, field engl norlng, trench warfare, semaphoring. judging distances, topography, map- reading, etc. Not a Military Hotly Tho local unit will be a civil stu dont body, and not a military organi zation. It Is not Intended to Impose any military obligation or duties on the members, or to trench upon the field occupied by the stnto or national guards. A captain and lieutenants will be appointed, who will drill the members, but after they have mas tered the usual military drill. It Is In tended that drill shall be a secon dary consideration In tho work, and that first place shall bo given to the mastery of the higher military sciences, with tho prime object of qualifying the members to become officers and non-commissioned offi cers to train men In the arts of war fare. This purpose is clearly ex pressed in tire name prescribed for the local branch by tho university, TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY WANTED At once to purchase -I-fool hardwood in any amount up to 1,000 cords.

THE SAX TOX STOltl namely, "University of Oregon Offi cers' Training School, Medford Unit." This name will he applied to the dif ferent units organized In the state. It Is understood that special facilities will be given to members of the local organizations to attend the state Officers' Training Camps at the uni versity. 51 gc Limit While regular membership In the organization will be restricted to business and professional men of the ages of thirty-one to fifty-five (on June 5, 1917) provision will be made for the admission of men on the present draft list, a number of whom will be charter members of the unit, and also for the organization of i junior company of youths under twenty-one. Tho charter list alreauy bears the names of more than fifty business uud professional men of this city and vicinity, and a formal organization meeting will be held In the near future, as soon as the final word is received from the university as to the form and limitations of the 'local branch. In the meantime, the work of out side organization has been begun In Ashland and Grants Pass, by Messrs. Thomas and Brackinreed, and they expect to push the work of organiza tion, acting as state organizer and state secretary respectively, under the university's authority, In other communities as fast as practicable. In this undertaking, they will have the full cooperation of the university authorities. Colonel Leader states, in this connection: "I think the idea a magnificent one, and any assistance which my officers or I myself can give you, you can count on. If the idea does catch thruout the state, as we feel certain It will, we will send out traveling inspectors, either from the military committee or from the officers of the university regiment. One of the chief reasons I have lor considering that tho matter will be a success is because you are interested in it, and propose to give a portion or your time to it." Colonel Leader has detailed Lieut. A. E. Caswell, of the university regi ment, as acting staff officer in charge of tho extension work contemplated by tho organization.
