BY GRADE PUPiLS
About 1200 people were present at
the elementary public schools con
cert at the Armory last evening, and
about 1000 grade school children.
Splendidly directed by Miss Francis
Sherwood, supervisor of the music In
schools, this was the first school con
cert in several years that has not had
to be commercialized, as the school
board put up the expenses and the con
cert was absolutely free.
All of the grade schools took part
and class by class they took their
places on the stage and sang their
songs BO that it was easy to trace the
development and Improvement from
year to year. The first grade was the
tru st appealing perhaps, and a Kinder
orchestra by that grade demontrat
lug rythm work, and directed by little
Wilson Barber, was the big hit of the
evening.
The work of the sixth grade receiv
ed much applause, especially the solos
by Walter Scott, who has a splendid
voice. Mary Eaton, who played the
violin was especially fine, and the
sympathetic accompaniment of MrB.
Carlton Janes was a great aid to the
performance.
.The platform and staging were by
Tom Swem and Leland Mentzer's
manual training classes. The manual
training claBs also constructed the
wooden blocks uaed In the Kinder, Or
chestra after a plan originated by Miss
Sherwood.
The latter Is to be congratulated on
the splendid Bhowlng of the grade
classes, especially when It Is realized
that the pieces sung were not prepar
ed for the concert, but were numbers
from the dally class work of the pu
pils. The tonal quality or the singing
was good and the enunciation, also dif
ficult with children, was also good.
Fanioua Minstrels
Coming Tuesday
The Famous Georgia Minstrels will
make their fliyih dress parade over
our main streets announcing their ap
pearance . at the Armory Tuesday
night. March 4 th.
Creating of laughter, tho rendering
of tuneful music, charming songs,
comical stunts and curious novelties,
constitute tho purpose of tho minstrel.
For this reason, time and ngaln in tho
professional papers the performers
and others engaged In tho legitimate
amusement business have boon as
sured by tho government that amuse
. nients of this character are not con
sidered non-essential. No wonder. In
these strenuous times, the demand for
the minstrels is Increasing until it Is
Impossible for the management of a
first-class" company like the Famous
Georgia Minstrels to fill one-half of
the dutea offered them. People wan1
to be entertained to laugh ami thus
their nervous systoms are bettor tuned
to the times.
, With the Famous Georgia Minstrels
are associated somo forty people, all
consisting of the very cream of tho
negro minstrel profession, and after
all the negro is tho natural musician
and minstrel of the human race, and
during the engagement here . will
spring some more of their pleasing
aurprlaos.

WASHINGTON. Mar. 1. Charles
it. Forbes, former director of the vet
erans' bureau, today declared Irt a
statement he welcomed the indicLr
ments returned against him yesterday'
in Chicago. i He said he looked upon
them "witn a clear conscience because
they will permit me to present my
case before a fair court of Justice and
a jury of my peers." ...
. Forbes said he would "intecjioaej (ly
technical objection to a trial, jObut on
the contrary would go to Chicago
voluntarily "as the. first step toward
my complete vindication."
He characterized the accusations
against him as "a hell-engendered
conspiracy against my honor and-Integrity."
The former veterans' burenn direc
tor added he was "not going to Flor
ida" despite the fact that "oiher men
now charged publicly with crimes
against the government had been re
ported hiding behind the screen of ill
health."
Forbes' attorneys made plans today
to summon about forty witnesses for
the defense. Including Mrs. Carolina
Votaw, a sister of, the late President
Harding. They will not Indicate what
evidence would be sought from her.
DENY THAT RUBERTA
E HALE JOT
Denial that any property settlement
was made In the recent divorce suit In
San Francisco between Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Hale, former Medford residents,
was made today by local attorneys on
behalf of Mrs. Hale, who' before mar
riage to Hale was Miss Kuberta
Pearce, of this city.
Reports that Hale paid the sum of
$7000, or any other sum, to his for
mer wife In a settlement of property
rights, was stated to be without foun
dation, and that about all Hale's for
mer wife received was the restoration
of her maiden name.
Since the divorce from Miss Pearce,
Hale has remarried in Portland. Miss
Pearce Is now residing in Arizona.
They were married shortly after Hale
became well known as the result of
nightrider activities In this city. '
Request that correction be made of
reports that Hale had settled a large
sum of money, or property, on his
former wife In the San Francisco di
vorce proceedings, was made on ac
count of recent published accounts
which have given the impression that
Miss Pearce has f.hared in the pro
perty of her ex-rhusbandJ 1

and Knips were .off form, and
closely guarded. When they did get

-Up to this time lots owned by pri
vate citizens have been offered at ri
diculously low prices because the city

is now the Intention of the chamber,
to see that the city sells every lot .lb
which It has a . title that is on a paved
street and. In so doing enhance the
value of these lots as-well as bring
up the price of the lota now privately,
owned. In none of the cltleB of Ore
gon can lots, be purchased for- so
small a sum as In Medford at they
present time and the purchase of a
lot for an Investment is a moat at
tractive proposition.
Lots will be sold for the amount
the city has invested In them, which,
is the cost of the Improvements. Ap
proximately a one hundred dollar
cash payment will be required on each
lot nnd the balance on a long term
of payment with Interest at six per
rent. Payment of interest and part
of the principle to be made every six
months.
Several years ago tho Medford post

on a similar basis. - Several of the
boys who made purchases - at that
time have already made Inquiry about
