'Residents of the city will recall that the members of the Greater lied ford' Club, aa ortrunizution of the representative 'women of the citv, camc-.tb the ': assistance of the old Commercial Club early in 11118. The fiindsi of the ortrunizution were in adequate to. justify its ninintenanoe and the ..'directors decided to close the doors of its oflice uerinniientlr about February 1. , The Greater Mcdford club interest ed jtself in the- premises and agreed with Ule directors to rejuvenate the Comraer'eial Club. Thev agreed to liiakeui reuort to the directors in two Trcck'Kitimc. and Mrs; CI. li. Satch well was -installed as secretary with out. Vfay for her services. At that time there were only 29 members who Wcre-'jSiiyihir 'their .'dues. Dunne the f)rst eck Mrs. .SatchwcU signed no CO now. members and by the end of the Hecorid,:wcck tho struggling organiza tion was allowing decided iinurovo , A meeting of the. Greater Mcdford ClubV. committee and the Commer cial club's directors was held and tho. organization wus turned back to the regular directors with Mrs. Satch well being retained as secretary. The club 'continued, signing ten or twelv members a week un until June, when tho' holder of a niortgago on the property 'ordered the sheriff to foro. oloaeTho Jattcr did so and the club for two davs was closed. liusincss men of the city rallied to the relief of the; situation, borrowed about $300 on a;. note thev signed, paid off the first. mortgage on the property, and tho eUib was reopened ami resumed operations. ' During tho year the club paid of nh 'indebtedness of $((I0, painted its building inside and out, and with the roHtcr, showing 175 members and a eaah:i)iilauco to its credit in the bank, Mrs, Satehwcll discontinued her serv ice with the : organization. . .. Hfffi aceoinplishcd all that during a ycir.when transportation facilities wore. ieli .thiit we were unable to marcat ' our J,'rii(t,. and., it rotted in ('.rates', and. on trucks and wagons lioCja'use ,we liad no wav to market it. - Koturnlbv business was demoral ized mid. the result wus distressing. K"NoTy that we have pusscd through the ,ivr! nnd couditious are improving S6' rapidly, Mcdford should rullv to the soiloort of her Chamber of Com nK!rc'e''and tho wbmcn of the citv will help Ibem this, time iust the same as fliov Wvo done in the past to make tho campaign a big success." y CENTRAL POINT J-'VBftvrUelkniip. former Central Point resident, 'and for several years pas tor, of the. . Methodist and Union churches here; now of Yainax, Ore cbn; at which place he still continues his co6d work, was a welcome visitor here during the past week. '" The many friends of Miss Mollic Thornbriic. populur young business and school girl of Central J'oint, who have been greatly concerned over the recent serious illness of the young Uldy.' will be glad to know that .she. i convalescing now ami will soon he among them again. Miss Thornbrue for some time past has been the ef ficient and ' well liked clerk in the liexall store here and she has been greatly missed there, and also in the school, where she is one of the most unmiisin? members of this year's senior class. Ralph Arnold arrived here recent ly from Iowa, in which state he has been lookine after business interests for the pust several months, and now expects to remain permanently a resident of the Rogue Uivcr Valley. Dr. Kdwurd Ulair of Gold Heach. Oregon, representative of Albany Col lege, was one of the visiting pastors of note in attendance at the meet ings at the Union church here Wed nesday of last week. The entire Central Point high school faculty was in attendance at the school master's meeting held in Jacksonville. Saturday. March 13. One of the most recent marriages which have occurred in Central Point is that of Mr. Jim Cummings and Miss Waiva Cash, which took place the latter part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings will make Central Point their home' and arc now "at home'' to their friends. A tiro of voung boys, sonic fourtcn or fifteen years old, have been rank inn it a practice lately of shooting all the birds in the neighborhood, thev are unite skilled in the art of "sling shot" shooting and hardly ever tail to miss their target, some harmless. i heerv bird, often times a song bird Private places have even been enter ed and birds killed there. Many people like the twittering n'nd songs of the birds and love to have them about. It is cruel and inhuman to destroy them and if the people in whose yard the little creatures find a home do not object to their living there, why should anv one else object ? It is a practice that should not be indulged in. and one that should bo dis couraged. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Xorcross have returned to their home here alter a several month's sojourn in California The series of meetings being con doled here by the Reverends Kdgnr and Koehlcr in the Union church hnv been greatly enjoyed bv all who have been in attendance. Some very good sermons have been preached bv Rev Koehlcr. one of especial interest being the one on the "Dance" that mucli-attneked and talked of amuse ment. Some startling truths were set forth and the house should have bee jammed so that everyone could have heard this powcrtul, convincing ser moil. A regrettable fact concerning these meetings is that so few people attend. The house should have .been full each evening instilid ot only about half full. Kvcrv one is given an urgent invitation to attend. The meetings last but a little while longer. Some -very good topics arc to be talked upon during the remaining evenings nnd it is well worth ones time to attend ami hear. Those who coma, once, always :coino again, so come tho one time for a start and keep it up.'' Special music also is n pleasing feature of each evenm: service. ... Mrs. Court Purkevpile was sum moned to the bedside of her daugh ter Mrs. Kobert Kent (nee MVrtloj Purkevpile) at Vancouver, Wash., some few davs ago. and immediately left for the Washington citv, remain ing at the bedside of her daughter until the young ladv had so far re covered as, to permit her mother, to return home. .

The Marine Institute The TJ. H. Marino Institute-, -which . bhls fair to becomo as famous ns tho Navnl Acndemy nt Annapolis, or 1hr Military Academy nt West Point, Is already well under -way nt tho Marino post at Quantlco, Virginia. Hundreds of younnr men ar en rolled In courses that range from rending, writing and simple arith metic, to such subjects as higher mathematics and Journalism. If a man romes into the Marino Corps hardly able to sign his name, he can gain a grammar school edu cation and continue to learn to tho limit of his ability and the length of his enlistment. Among the courses open to the Marine are ele mentary and advanced English, mathematics In practically all Its branches, French. Spanish, stenog raphy nnd clerical work, automo bile mechanic, horsemanship and health, forestry, concrete and brlcJe masonry, carpentry, electrical me uhanlcti, plumbing, blackuml thing, house painting, band music, draft Jug, Journalism, cooking and bak iubr etc., etc. Tho Instructors orei not only competent teachers, but emlnontly practical men, nnd aro selected for their proflcloncy regardicsB of heir rank In the Marino Corps.
