was most inspiring.

Tho remainder of tho program
consisted of a vocal solo by William
Vawter, the reading of tho honor roll
of dend by (luoi-Ko Codding, ndjulant
of tho Medford post o'f the legion, tho
Seventh compnny flag presentation
and tho benediction liy Father Pow
ers. In a shot-L speech Captain A. .1.
Vnnce, who commanded the Seventh
comnnnv whon it left Medford to
ontor war service, presented the col
ors back to tho Greater Medford anil
Wednesday Study clubs, during which
lie called attention to the promlso he
mndo when thn flag was presented to

club, and others, In now returned to
them by Captain Vance of the former
Seventh company and they have hon
ored mo in asking that I present It to
the American legion.
"it seems most fitting that this
flag should new ho presentod to the
American Legion, lor the Seventh
company no longer exists, nnd most
of its former officers non-commissioned
officers, and privates are now
members of tho legion.
'Perhaps a brief nummary of the
war situation at the time the flag
was presented to' tho Seventh com
pany will not he out of place.
Tho great struggle was on. I' or
three years French, Ilrllish, and Bel
gian soldiers had been fed Into the
furnace of war; ror Ihrco years they
had fought, bled, and endured. The
allies had lost hundreds of thousands
of their best soldiers. They were al
most crushed. Tho days looked dark
for them. Germany's triumph seem
ed Inevitable.
l'liou America came to' the rescue;
and all over this broad land her sous
assembled in hot haste and made
ready for war. And when tho Med
ford company went forwunl to do its
part, tho hearts of Medford's women
went with 11. This flag typified their
devotion, their courage their sacri
fice, and In Us folds was enshrined
tliolr love.
t'oniiuiny Nobly Served
The Seventh company was not
permitted to go to Franco as a whole;
nevertheless; Its officers and men
nobly did their partn; and while only
few of them reached the battle
fields of Franco, all wanted to be
there, and all stood ready to give
their lives for our beloved country.
Fortunately, tho loss among the
men of the old Seven til company was
small; but the entire loss of .lackson
county's contingent of soldiers and
sailors wan not small; for tho records
show that moro than forty .lackson
ounly boys made tho supremo aucrl
fice.
"Anil now Captuln Cowgill, In the
name of the Greater Medford club
tho Wednesday Study club, and oth
ers, 1 present to you and our com
rades of tho American Legion this
flag, to bo kept and preserved In
momor.v of the great war anil of the
long-abiding lovi of the good women
or Medford ror the soldiers and sail
ors, living and dead, of Jackson
county.
" 'Horn is our flag!
Cheers for the sailors that fought
on the wave for it.
Cheers for the soldiers that always
were brave for II,
Tears for the men that went down
to Hie gravo for lt
Here Is our flag! ' "
