TIM', turn. iin or valor into the main canal of the Mtxlford Irri cnlion District todiiv is irrent iimvs. It murks an enoeh in the history of Mod ford and tho Ronuc River Valley, final suoooss after over a dooado of istruculo and tiisoouravroniont. "With normal weather from now on, the value of irrigation promises to have draniatio and ooiivineitiir demonstration. In many districts the soil is now hard ami dry. An average rainfall, from now on would, w ithout irrigation, mean a loss to orehardi.sts of hun dreds of thousands of dollars. For blossoms are now sot for the largest pear crop in the history of Southern Oregon. Without irri gation this crop could not, by any H.ssibility, be silted up and brought to successful maturity.' With irrigation, it can be. - Like any other fundamental economic change, irrigation must involve a certain period of readjustment.' New methods invariably bring now problems, and responsibilities. Hut suck readjustments will be successfully made, and in the not very distant future, Med ford and the Rogue River Valley will look back upon May 5th, VD'22. as the dawn of a new era. the establishment of prosperity for the first time, upon a permanent and steadily growing basis. Ye Poet's Corner THE AMERICAN RACE. Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Ptrry. Countess Marklevlci, . a prominent Irish leader is visiting in Portland. One would suspect as much from her name. A San Jose. Calif, Judge sentenced a convicted bootlegger to drink his own goods. U this keeps up the country will run out of bootleggers, and a tril lion officers forced to go back to work. John Mann is underneath a smart spring hat. a speckled rooster feather coyly peeping from the hatband. John Buchter has a new suit, with alternat ing pleats in the back, . and dainty tucks at the belt. TAKEN UP i - - (Eugene Guard) Pleading guilty to the illegal possession of intoxicating liquor, Paul Slack, railroad man, ' was fined 300 and sentenced to two months in jail by Judge Jesse G. Wells in justice court this after noon. ' Peggy Joyce, a highly efficient vam pire, whose wiles are employed only on millionaires, to date with great suc cess, has a place in the European scan dal sun, with Max ser, the Swiss liv ery stable prop, and International cradle robber, who is going to marry a 16 year old granddaughter of John D. The federal trade commission has taken a timber concern to task for cutting Oregon trees in New York City. AH the candidates with any enter prise will be in the front pews the two remaining Sundays before the holo caust. The claim that "the way of the transgressor is hard" originated when the author completed a ride to J'ville on the trolley thereto. ' "LOSES AUTO, SHOT IX BAR GAIN"- (Hdline Oregon City Enter prise). Served him right MR. ALES HRDLICKA. of the Smithsonian Institution, address ing a body of scientists recently, called the American race the infant of the human family. Physically there is yet no specifically defined American type. There are many types, each representing the European racial group from which it came. . Mentally, however, there is an American race, as clearly marked to the psychologist as the Scandinavian or Greek or Chinese would be to the ethnologist. The American possesses an unmistakable alertness, a nervous energy, an atmosphere of intelligence and independence which are peculiarly his own. If there is any one inclined to" feel badly because there are no physical race characteristics, he should cheer up. There is more cause for pride in these mental and spiritual qualities which speak so plainly of the nation's achievements, ideals and opportunities. Quill Points A I, Ctivu. Why csii't Tom bo like you, Hill? So thoughtful and kind and good; You took your girl to the circus A a regular follow should. Yhlo 1 stayed home In tho gloam ing. Wistful Hiul lonely ami blue, Just throwing dirt la tho ' Koplte holes,' Hut wanting to boo It too. It's great to be youim and girlish. And prvtty and nice siul sweet, To only bo petted tuid tmliylml, And not have to cook and sweep. Why can't fellows know though. Hilly, .That time doesn't matter much; And, even a scttHtblo my'uiu. Longs for that v ! . f"ch, That tells otie with When a circus ct That she wants to see It ulno Pressed, In her bostest gown. Could anyone tell Tom, Hilly. Without hurting his precious face Next time there's something doing Ills Sweetheart wants in on the race? m. m. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? At times we suspect that a "complex" is just highbrow for darn ed meanness. . . Thcgreat need of France at present is less propaganda and more propagation. Success is three parts the will to get there and seven parts the conviction that you can make it. The quoted price of champagne in France causes a puin on this side of the water that isn't sham. Apparently half the world thinks opportunity consists in a vacant lot where one may start a filling station. , England, France and Italy love one another too well to fight. So they let Greece and Turkey do it. About the only thing to be said for prohibition jokes is that they save us the affliction of more For"d jokes. Oh, very well. Let feminism have its way; and then some day there will be a war to establish freedom of the he's. If Lenine is really sick, there is comfort in the thought that some unschooled proletarian probably is prescribing for him. There's one good thing about bootleg whiskey. The chap who drinks it i usually dead before he gets to the quarrelsome stage. The reason the old-fashioned toy worked more than the modern boy was because of the hickory that lay in state above the kitchlu door. . ADDRESS TO THE JURY "In 1492, according to the best infor mation at hand, Christopher Columbus discovered America. He was a great discoverer, and the young boy now at the bar of Justice, if he was not down stairs getting a drink, I think it is unnecessary to toll this Intelligent Jury, of water, Is a cousin to the hereinbefore mentioned C. Columbus, of whom this Intelligent jury has no doubt heard of at one time, or another. Are you going to blacken the fair name of our founder by sending this meek and lowly defendant to yon grim county jail, where, if there is a change in the present administration of coun ty affairs, he will be forced to operate the deadly lawnmower, , 1 "Learned counsel for the state with all their eminent astuteness, will tell you this defendant is guilty of rob ulng his grandma.' The evidence, Ladles and Gentlemen plainly shows that his Grandma Tobbed him." VTherefore, I ask this intelligent Jury to return a verdict in accordance with my own notions, and not cast a shadow over the past of Columbus, and the future of the party of the second part, whose case is now pending be fore this intelligent Jury." thank you!" AUorney for defense then walks excitedly to water pltchor for drink. r'ours water into cuspidor, spits on the floor, and returns to his seat.) RipplingRhijmgs Walt Mason 06.

Tent & Awning Works S'J. " PI'osllQ S. r, Depot ' IT DOESN'T matter when I reach the town of Bungville-on-thc-Beach. I've no important errand there; I merely go to hold a chair in Alner JohnsorVs Blue Front Store, and loaf and talk and be a bore. It's fifteen miles, the signboards teach, from here to Bungville-on-the-13each, and I might take an hour, I ween, to hit those parasangs between. But I step down upon the gas, and men who see my lizzie pass throw up astounded hands and say "That boob will break his neck some day." I'm always winging hens and cows'; and faster than the law allows I speed my um, and make her roar, to chew the rag at Johnson's store. The speed fiends zip through dust and mire, as though proceeding to a fire; you'd think, when you. behold them whiz, that "life or death" their errand is. But when they've madetheir breathless race, and come to the appointed place, into the druggist's joint they drop, and fill themselves with ice cold pop. Just,ask the speeder to explain why he propels his rattling wain, defying all the traf fic laws, and he can only say, "Because 1" There is no sense in all the haste that causes such a wanton waste of men and dogs and Berkshire sows, and geese and ducks and mulcy cows.

Consult your Bible, authorized version of 1881 (Cor. 11:27), "Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread OR drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner shall be guilty of the body and the Blood of the Lord."
