HremrOTTO STJCTD TRTKOTTR1. fiTETTFCTRT), OftECOW FRIDAY. MAY U, 1920. PURCHASE SIXTY ACHES FOR FAIR GROUND SUE C. OF COMMERCE OF I Buy Your Summer Wear Now! It's Not Long Until the Hot Days Y TRAIT. SAYS T AFT Stockholders and directors of the Jackson County Fair association are to have a meeting this evening at the Chamber of Commerce headquar ters for the purpose of giving consid eration to holding a fair this fall. The county haB purchased sixty acres of ground about a mile south of town and located on the Pacific Highway. The question of construct ing exhibit buildings, grandstand and stock sheds will come up this evening as well as giving consideration to at tractions which may be obtained. If the plans of some of the mem bers of the fair association work out, Jackson county will have one of the best fairs this fall that has over been held. The morchants will cooperate In making the evening entertainment most enjoyable. Every citizen of the county must realize that this Is not a Medford fair, but that it belongs to all of the people of the county. Its success de pends upon tho energy they all exert in furnishings exhibits of grains, fruits, vegetables and stock. The Farm Bureau will no doubt use its influence among its members especially among the boys and girls clubs to exhibit their products and this alone will make a splendid show ing. If every one in the county gets in back of this fair movement, the coun ty fair will be a big success and one worth while. Every effort is being made, to have a county fair this fall and In order to bring this about, the president was authorized to appoint a committee to work with tho Jackson County Fair association. This committee as nam ed Includes George A. Mansfield, chairman, J. C. Drown, UenJ. C. Shel don, Airs. Hose G. Schieffolin, Mrs. f. E. Merrick and Wm. F. Isaacs. WEDDING BELLS jMerrltt Randies and Nellie ' M. Perry were quietly married in Jack sonville, Sunday afternoon, May 9, 1920, at the Presbyterian manse by Kev. Gammons. The brido is the daughter of Airs. Lulu Van Wegen of Ashland and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Randies of Belle view. After the ceremony the bride returned to her school in the Darda nelles district near Gold Hill, and the groom to his work in tho Automotlvo hbp in Ashland. A resolution was adopted by the directors of (he Chamber of Com merce last night urging the coun ty commissioners to use every means nt their disposal to Im prove tho Jacksonville-Provolt road, especially that portion between Huch and Provolt. -A committee was ap pointed to appear before the commis sioners next Monday to present this request. It was the opinion of the members of the board that the people living In the Applcgate, Ruch and ProvolS district have not been given the consideration they are rightfully entitled to when road matters have been considered in tho county and therefore It was decided that Medford should take up their cause and seek to aid them with their influence and energy and endeavor to right the wrong done them in the past. There was a sentiment among the board members that the county commission ers were not to blame for the lack of road work in this cfistrlct, because they have been hampered to a great extent by lack of funds, however, it was thought that a solution of the problem might be worked out by hav ing a conference with the commis sioners and this will take place next Monday.

PORTLAND Intimate ln'ismiai: friends of Herbert Hoover, who know the ius-and-outs of his coiumeivinl ventures, are finding more than a little amusement in .efforts of those! who for one political reason oi- another would profit liv enveloping' Mr. Hoover in a London atmosphere. iml if possible, hv ildiipin' his ctimli- dacv with the Kritish ilnir. Thev relate the story of the Kuitom mine, a property wlucii Hoover ownuil in one of the British colonies. After estuhlishimr a world-wide reputation as a supervising minim: engineer, Mr. Hoover conceived the ambition to own a irreat mine, and to build around it a minimr eoinniii nitv that should he a model of indus trial organization, as such organiza tions are built in America. He se cured a piece of property in Burma in a region where according to tra dition the ancient Chinese hud operat ed rich mines. Mr. Hoover and his brother invested their professional earnings of years in this distnvt. Under their hand n long-abandoned mine came hack to life, became self supporting, and by the outbreak of the war was making money. Surrounded hv a model community of 25.(100 per sons the Hoover mine in 11114 was entering an era of great prosperity, and an object of great pride to its owners. One of the first war acts of the British government was to make it illegal for anyone but a British citi zen to own or control mining prop erty in the British possessions. Mr. Hoover had no alternative. To re liluiuish American citizenship for British was unthinkable, llis decis ion was taken immediately and he and his brother threw their holdings on the demoralized market, sufferinr a large financial loss. Mr. Hobert Taft, the son of the ex pdesident and a lieutenant of Mr. Hoover ill relief work, writes to a friend in California: 'The truth is that Mr. Hoover be longs that that class of rock-bottom Americans, which is certainly known in California, who become more in tensely American the more they see of foreign countries. From his very e: perience abroad and searching knowl edge of foreign institutions, he has become Imore truly American than most men who have never left their country. He is in fact the most in tensely American person I know." Ralph Woodford Proprietor Miss Roberta. Darr of the Freed- man's Board, Pittsburg, Pa., speaks here Sunday night.
