FINANCIAL AID
fTho canvass for fund) for the erect
ins of more cottages for the Child
ren's Farm Home at Corvnllla, is un
der way in Medford this week.
Tho Retail Merchants Association
end Chamber of Commerce have both
given their sanction to It as a most
worthy cause.
Three orphans from Medford were
refused entrance to the Home last Feb
ruary because of lack of room. Over
200 have been turned away during the
past few months..
This orKfihiation plans to make Its
home a real home and not merely an
institution. While the home will be
. undenominational, yet Christian -men
ond women will be in oharpe of the
homes and the finest of care will be
given each child, it is said.
The state furnishes the most of tho
running expenses, so that the overhead
is pretty well provided for. 'The large
farm will produce food and make a
place for out of door life, and the citi
zens of the state are being asked to
furnish the cottages. These are being
built only ns fast ns funds are pro
vided so ns to aboid debt.
There Is no finer cause to which
you can contribute this Ilettor Homes
Week, and folowing Mother's Day than
to help provide splendid homes for
home children.
We ought to rnise $1500 in Medford
although .no quota has been set. 'In
Itoseburg the committee usked every
citizen to give $1 each. Many can give
more.
The. business section will be can
vassed on Thursday morning by the
ministers and helpers from the
churches and clubs of the city while
the women of the churches will can
vass the district assigned them In the
residence section Wednesday or Thurs
day. Mr. W. C. Rice of the Jackson
County Rank will net as treasurer.

your hands.
"Dry Wash" is one feature of our laun

cleverly. The bride-to-be was given a
fish pole: shewas to wish for a small
or lurgo package and from tho
screened pond her wish became real
ity, with bevibboned packages, con
taining bright messages in verse with
tho gift enclosed. Fortunes, original
