""VVell, that makes five," despoil- aenuy saia tne uoy. , . , "Five?" asked the nurse. ."What do you mean?" "Well," was the answer, "I've al ways had to mind daddy and mother and Aunt Mary and God, and now bere comes along Hoover.' Long ago a famous Irish orator is eald to have thus mixed his meta phors: "I smell a rat, Mr. Speaker, sir: I see it floating before me in the air, but I will nip it in the bud." Young "Andrews had called upon the young lady of tbe family. Her little brother Willie came in and of fered Andrews a piece of sticky choc olate. Andrews wanted to make a friend of Willie, so he took it and ate it. Willie watched the eating in tently, and when it was all finished he said: "Was it all right?" - "Yes, indeed," replied Andrews. "Very nice in fact." . "That's funny," thoughtfully said Willie. "My cat spat it out once and jny dog spat it out twice." ' "The man who gives in when he is wrong," said the street orator, "is a wise man;' but he who gives in when he is right is " f "Married!" said a meek voice in the crowd. ' Sympathetic neighbor: "So Bill's dead!" Bereaved one:' "Tea, he's dead." ' Sympathetic neighbor: "I suppose he's striking a harp with the angels now.'" ,. Bereaved one: "More like Bill to be striking the angels with the harp" 1 A bishop was reproving a maid for. having used his bathroom in his ab sence. "I am deeply pained and grieved, Parker," he said, "to think that you should do behind my back what you would not do before my face!" - . " Alderman Jones was being showed over the new church by the curate. . "Yes, it's a tine building." he said "but I'm sorry to say the accoustics re very, bad."

A! w vi RelUbli TODAY'S CASUALTIES SAVE . THE BIRD RESERVE. AN EFFORT is being made ly promoters nnd explojl- era to pass a bill through the legislature' for1 the draining of Malheur lake so that the land ean. be rer claimed and placed on the market.' .The lake is alkaline and it is doubtful if the land would be anything but an alkaline flat worthless for agrieultureal purposes..'.' 'A; lobby in Salem is working to this end, so these promoters may reap a harvest in luring the unsophisticated easterner to settle upon the alkaline encrusted soil and go broke. Malheur lake is one of the few remaining great wild bird nurseries left in America. It was created a foderal game preserve by President Roosevelt, to keep the wihl birds from extermination. The Department of Agricul ture at Washington has had charge of this area and since 1908, has paid wardens to protect it. Oregon is morally bound not to commit the commercial crime of destroy ing it. , "Wild birds ,nrc necessary to the agricultural develop ment of the country because they ave the natural check upon insects and other pests. Millions and millions have their home in' Malheur lake. One by one, other lakes are being drained. Or sW-tly will be, leaving this reserve the last great bird refuge in the northwest. We have laws to protect the birds in passage, but if their breeding grounds are destroyed, these wild fowl will go the way of the carrier pigeons. . Malheur lake is as wonderful in its way as Grater lake. It is an asset to Oregon not only because of the preserva tion of bird life, but as a natural attraction a niecca for naturalists and bird lovers from all over the world, and one wliose value will increase with the years. Governor Withycombe in his biennial message to the legislature urged that jurisdiction of Malheur" lake be ceded to the federal government so that the lake will for ever remain a wild bird reserve, under national control. A bill to cede jurisdiction, House Bill 376,' is pending. All bird lovers, farmers and sportsmen are urged,, to write their delegations to support this measure. . $5,841.90 From 125 Acres; , Owner Challenges Contest XI P. Larson of Ceylon, Minn;, lays claim to being the champion small farmer of the state, measured by cash returns from his farm of 125 acres, last year. Mr. Larson itemizes his 191$ income in a letter to the Martin county agricultural agent. He says: "My (arm consists of 125 acres, two acres of which is used for public highway. This is sent as a challenge to any other farm of the same Bize used for general farming.

Miss Alice Vandersiuis. . The greatest progress can be noted in the primary grades. When the children entered school at the begin ning of the year, approximately one sixth could carry a tune, two-thirds lacked the musical experience and one-sixth were tone deaf. At the present time the majority of children in the first grade can sing the major scale, descending and ascending. All the school children In" the city are learning tbe standard patriotic songs of America and the allied coun tries. At least once a Week the chil dren are gathered together in groups for chorus experience. The Girls Glee club of the Medford high school now boasts of thirty members. The club Is working on a program which will be presented some time In April. At that event, the high school string quartet will probably make Its Initial appearance. The. quartet consists of Miss Ruth Campbell, Miss Doris McReynolds, Miss Vandersiuis, Miss Edith Brooks and Air. F. C. McReynolds. Medford musicians who are at tending the opera season in Portland this week are Miss Ruth Warner and Geo. M'addox. The Medford Choral society will commence rehearsals on Monday evening, Feb. 17th. It is hoped there will be a full atendance and makei the work for the remainder, of -the season in a measure necompense what was lost this winter. '. The French government has sent to America one of her best musical organizations In the way of -a mili tary band. Us members are com posed' of PariB conservatory gradu ates, each one being an artist on his particular Instrument together with this fact they are all veterans of the war, many of them carrying wounds received In battle. Forty per cent of tbe receipts go to the French Red Cross. It Is quite, probable that Med ford will be one of the points visited by this famous organization. To 'those who .heard the La, Scala Opera company when It was in Med ford last year, it will be Interesting to know that the director, 'Fulgenzlo JOHN A.

"One Is. Mr, Larson is feeding up most of the grain his farm pro duces and selling it in the form of meat and butter. The other thing to notice is that he is making his chick ens pay and pay big. . "Another point to notice also is that this is a result of not only good farming but also of good farm man agement. . Mr. Larson keeps a record of his farm business. He knows what each department 'of his farm Is do ing. His farm is a factory of which be Is the efficient manager." Jackson county farmers are re quested to send in their records to County Agricultural Agent Cate. Guerrieri Is directing a season of opera in Havana, Cuba.

About two hundred of these module of brome nnl brilliant blue vnnniol ure mudo every week lu this city hud turned over to the wnr depart nient for shipment to the cinips and army headquarters at homo and ulirond. - Jinny more of the Military Crosses, awarded for vnlor. are being mudo. More than five thousand ut these have already been shipped from the mint. In manufacturing these med als ten impressions ur made by a hydraulic press on a small square of bronze, beginning with one hundred tons pressure and Increasing to two hundred and fifty tous. After tho die has been stamped In this fashion, the cross Is cut out by machine. The medal Is then passed to workmen who rsblon the little cross-bars from which It Is suspended, ribbons are atarhed and the decoration la placed in a box ready for delivery.. Tho United States Xnvy Medal of Hon6r Is also made at the mint. Here are manufactured the various kinds of medals awarded for sharpshootlug. marksmanship and other honors of the Service. An order now being filled calls for teu thousand Mexican service meduls. attractive bronze discs for tho men who were 'In tbe Vera Cruz expedi tion. Now that the peace conference "at Paris has approved the award of a distinctive service medal to every man who served in any of the allied armies, the Philadelphia mint may be called upon to manufucturo meduls by the million. , FILL UP ON CANDY TUIF.K, 'Prussia. Feb. 10 A car load of chocolate billed to the Amer ican Army of Occupation was wreck ed near Trier re.cently and several German children of families living nearby ate such, quantities of the sweets thafdoctors had to be called in to treat them. ' Many of the chil dren had never tasted chocolate bo fore, this form of candy being among the luxuries which Germany wub vir tually unable to supply during ,the war and, before the American salvage crows got to work the youngsters consumed their fill and then started homeward with all they could carry.
