Is ooryhosy Happy? Most enult
; icnlly yos. Jv'o bail nftcrtasto what
ever, nor disagreeable things to re
mombor. 'Nothing but lasting, agree
able impressions. But best of all, re
moniber that last night's doings wore
tint tho beginning. There Is lots
more fun In sight before Victory
week is over.
The Inauguration of Victory week
Monday night in the balmy atmo
sphere of a perrect May night was an
astounding success attended by one
of the largest throngs in Medford's
history and certainly the largest
night assemblage ever gathered inT
Ihe city. .
' The retail merchants who are re
sponsible for the Victory week cele-
' hration have been busy congratulat
ing themselves ever since. While
there was never doubt but that the
opening would at least be a moder
ate success the most optimistic never
dreamed that It would prove to he
such a glorious event.
, And these same retail merchants
covered themselves with glory. Such
sdterprlse,' such artistry and such
well, what's the use of going further
at this time' unless- in detailed de
scription? Suffice it to say that last
night's demonstration besides quicK
ening the reawakening of the old
time optimism and business activity
of the city not only cemented the
merchants closer together and fired
them with ambition to work unitedly
for the future development and wel
fare of Medford. but instilled into all
the people the same feeling of confi-
dence over the outlook for prosperity
in the city and valley.
No wonder the sun shines a little
brighter today, the flags wave more
merrily, the city, looks cleaner and
greener, and most of us feel so
sprightly. - 1
Band Concert
' But to begin at the beginning. The
festivities opened with a band con-
, cert by the city band on the streets,
followed soon after by an exhibition
drill by Company E, National Guard.
Then the band and company paraded
Alain street together. In the mean
time' the crowd kept steadily increas
ing, and. the autos, filled with people,
continued to line up on Main street
and other business thorofares. Where
did, all 'the people afoot and all the
cars come from? Besides the entire
population of the city and -vicinity
- there must have been hundreds from
all other parts of the county. '
. While the band was playing and
. the, soldiers marching and the crowd
was ,most agreeably contented there
kept, continuously lurking in the
minds, of all a curiosity as to what
8ights.'were hidden behind the closed
curtains, of the store show windows
' and a -longing for the time, to come
when the exhibits would be exposed
to view.
-Light Go Out :-' .-.
Suddenly one minute before 9
o'clock air the lights in the business
district went out, leaving perfect
darkness except the ' vari-colored
lights here and there of the hundreds
of autos a, very pretty scene In it
self. At. 9 o'clock the lights with
renewed brilliancy came on again
and the big shbw was on a show
that will forever reflect credit - on
Medford's retail business men.
. The dense mass of humanity in
Main street lost no time in viewing
the window exhibits, and edged and
shoved f their way about good
naturedly. . Main street never looked
prettier with its brilliant illumina
tion both from street lights and from
the store winodws, and the U. 3.
flags seemingly everywhere, with
here and there every fifteen feet or
so the various colored auto lights as
; tone effects. v
; But those show windows. Never
before was so much varied ingenuity
rand splendid creative ability ever ex
ercised in Medford as was exhibited.
Such a variety, too. One seemed
never to tire mentally in feasting on
the window sights. Every business
was represented and some lines han
dling common everyday prosaic ma
terials ohe would not think could be
. arranged into a display worth look
ing at, produced some astounding

Praise -From Outsiders
According to Medford peoplo who
have traveled much over the country
and travelers In the city the window
displays of last night were the best
ever soon In southoru Oregon mid
among the best they ever saw outside
of soveral of the largest titles where
the annual window display event was
prepared tor with months of time and
no limit of expense. The displays of
Inst night wore prepared In less than
a day's time, with store materials and
practically without additional ex
ponse. The whole exhibition, when
everything Is considered. Is regarded
wonderful and speaks in loud
songs of praise of Medford business
enterprise. -Several traveling men
said that last night's window show
far outclassed the annual , window
show at Eugene.
