. Ono of the most progressive and
suecojwful business men of Medtord,
As woll as one of the most kindly and
lovable of Its citizens, passed away
In the person of Martin J. Reddy,
proprietor of Roddy's Jewelry store,
at iiO a. m., Friday. Dec. 27th,
after an Illness of five years during
moot of which time he was lncnpacl-
tatod from active business. His loss
both in the business community and
In local citizenship will be geoorally
deplored. The deceased was 48 years
of age and was In his eleventh year
of business In Medtord.
Martin J. Reddy was born and
reared tn Cleveland, Ohio, one of a
family of Bix boys and one sister.
About 13 years ago he came to the
Pacific coast and followed his trade
as a watchmaker In Walla Walla,
Wash. He was following that occu
pation when his brother. Dr. J. F.
Reddy, who had located In Medford
and had Just succeeded In selling the
Blue Ledge mining property, induced
htm to come to Medtord and start In
the lowelry business.
v. Martin opened his store on North
Central avenue in a small and modest
way, but by his careful attention to
business and wide awake and honor
able methods the establishment soon
grow to be one of the most success
ful and leading business concerns of
Mcdford.' He was also, during this
time one of the city's most public
spirited meu and was until his death
one 'of ' Medford's most ; consltent
boosters. He was a firm believer In
the value of business publicity.
-About five years ago Mr. Reddy
suffered a complete nervous break
down thru overwork and never fully
recovered, necessitating his retire
ment from active business, exceptfor
short periods when he felt able to
visit the Btore. Shortly after his
breakdown his sister. Mrs. Chas. M.
Delln assumed the active managerial
reins of the business, a position
which she still holdB. Mrs. Delin will
continue the business and remain its
head; -".r-v -'V'."'
. Almost no to the hour of his death,
Mr. Keddv. although physically incn
pablo of conductinar the jewelry store,
never lost his keen interest In it and
business affairs in eeneral. He as
fiirtted Mrs. Delin in the purchases
ff all iewelrv stock and advised daily
with her es to the policy and conduct
Of the store. No matter how much
jiain he was sufferinir durine his pe
riods of : husincs activity hq, con-.,
.tinned to write the store advertise
ments which were daily in the local
newspapers.
' . Mr. lieddv was one of the most
prominent members of the local Elks
lodge .and of the Kniuhts of Columbus
chapter. lie hud held all the bfficcs
in the Elks lodee except that of ex
alted ruler and his illness alone pre
vented him from filline that position.

The Industrial club boys and fiirls
of Jncksou comity produced in value
duWna the past year $1,570.77. The
cost of production was $i 84.30. lenv
in a profit of $792.47. Thse fut
ures do not include the many boys
and airls who did part or ull of their
work but made no final report on
what they did.
Industrial club work is primarily nn
educational institution. These fia-
nrcs show, however, that in the pro-
cress of education the boys and cirls
Produce value far above tho cost.
Even thonah We add the cost of in
struction, there will then be a net
tain over all costs. Tho aovcrnment
paid the salary and travoline expen
ses of the rural school supervisor for
two months durine- the summer to see
to club work. State club workers
have given a portion of their time to
work in this county. Some expense
has fallen to the county school su
perintendent's office in directimr this
work. Thoueh it is difficult to nccu
rately estimate the exact cost, it is
very safe to sav that there will be a
profit above tho cost of production
and instruction.
This condition is true even con
sidering: the fact that less than a
tenth of the bovs and crirls in the
county who might well do club work
are yet tnkin? advantoso of that
opportunity. When the plans of tho
department of nsriculture. the aeri
cuitural college, and the state depart
ment of education are better under
stood, and when tho strength of our
school system is placed more effec
tively back of the work, we will havo
an institution in operation tlint will
produce fur above the cost. YV arc
remembering that the fundamental
purpose of club work is educational,
und that the demands for practical
training are becoming more eeneral
and more perminent.
The best record made in our county
wnsmade bv the potato club members
who produced in value $201.57. at a
cost of $48.20. leaving a profit of
$243.37. Qorn club members produced
$298.46 at a cost of $137.64. with a
profit of $151.82. The pig club mem
bers prodnced $410.07 nt a cost of
$267.21. with a profit of $142.86. The
five beleian hnre club members offer
ed a little surprise by netting $92.40.
The profits in other protects were
less. ; Such projects as sewing and
baking are of course not commercial
in any sense.

ent appeal to employers of Montana
not to attempt to reduce wanes while
the cost ot living remains nhnonuultv
hish is contained in n letter mailed
today by John H. .Mcintosh,, state
manager of the Montana K.mplovors'
association, to the membership of the
organization.
"Make no effort to reduce wages
or materially ehnnge working condi
tions at this tune,' Mr. Mcintosh
letter snvs, "Wages which were
boosted disproportionately high be
cause of war conditions must inevi
tably come down, and fair minded
wage earners recounire this fact, but
to reduce wnocs beforo commodity
prices ore lowered, -to lessen the pa
ot tho workers before living costs
are cheaper, is a financial aud moral
wrong and can mean nothing but
economic confusion.
'Give back to the returning sol
dier the job he left when ho enlistcu.
borne instances may arise where eir
circumstnnccs mnke this :nipossible.
but as far ns possible the man who
left steady employment to fight for
his eountrv should bo returned to his
former place.
"It is tho bonnden duty of every
employer to tnko cogniznne'e of the
changes wrought bv tho great war.
particularly the changes in thought j
and the demand for economic better
ment. The business of the future will
have four partners the employer, the
employe, the cxeentivo management
and tho public. Close co-operntion
between the units of this partnership
means success nnd prosperity for nil.
Friction and indifference spell fail
ure." -'.-..!.
Mr. Mcintosh terms the spread of
Bolshevism "the greatest menaco to
America, ' and calls on business men
to "spread the gospel that our re
public is the best on earth: that, like
all human agencies, evil creeps in.
but that in time these are remedied
through the ballot and that there is
no excuse for Bolshevism nor a class
e-ovemment in America. "
