Question arises, what to raise on these j Ashland Weekly Religious . School

ine would think of grain as a crop,
Ind'not all can garden. '-There is a
rop which can bo grown on thin land
Lnd made to pay. This is berries.
The. raspberry,- for instance, is one
)f the best to grow.- ' Therd are a
ijr?iber of small tracts of this fruit

iVhla land has never been . considered

-j deal for berries of all kinds. . , The
pater has made it ; possible to grow
v ;hem on anys of the ho called light
s lolls. I visited several of the patches
I in Phoenix, and ' on one plot, some
Vi ftneryear vines gave ,me a. surprise.
1 1 fhey were "literally loaded with the
largest berries I have ever seen. The
i-Uwo year vines are a wonder. Now I
:, know from actual experience that

President, Rev. W. J. Oldfleld; vice
president, Dr. G. W. Qregg: secretary

churches were represented by its pas
tor and one lay member. The Con
gregational, Christian, -Baptist, Bap
list, Inc.. Catholic, Christian Science,
Free Methodist, Methodist Episcopal.
Nazarene, and Presbyterian made up
the group whose delegates were pres
ent at this meeting. The board or
ganized will act in an official way
between the religious Interests of the
comniunlty and the, board of education,-
which will be petitioned to per
mit the establishment of, week-day
religious schools. A request was made
through Father A. J. Carmody that
his church be permitted to .eytabUen
a week-day school for Its children.
These schools are financed by the
churches concerned, but the pupil
may be dismissed for one hour a week
on school time with the parents' con
sent. It is hoped to establish two
schoojs, one near Hawthorne and one
near Junior High, for'" three or four
grades.
: The statement is made that Ash
land creek is carrying, more than
twice as much water ns last year at
this date. About half the water flow

A Noble Outcast
At Armory Friday
- L. C. Larter presents "A Noble OiTt
cast" In the Armory at Medford, June
3 9 and 20. This play has. ever since
Its first production proven a most suc
cessful drama. It enjoyed a long run
in England and has delighted au
diences in New York, Chicago and the
principal cities of this country.
The nuthor now for the first time
allows "A Noble Outcast" to be print
ed from the original manuscript. The
play is founded on an older piece,
"Jocrisse the Juggler." which has been
practically obsolete for many years. In
the whole range of the drama there is
no character to be found with such
power to compel tfltel-nate laughter
and tears as is shown I by Jerry the
Tramp. The dramatlcjinterest la In
tense, the appeal to the sympathy of
the hitman Jieart poweijfuU jind'Uhe
comedy is hs refined," says Mr; Lnrter.
The author of "The Show-Off" bo-
longs to the less cynical type of the
American playwright,, who believes
that the average theater goers will
patronize able dramas.
Experienced as a successful drama
tist for vaudeville audiences, Mr. Kel
ly. might well have been apprehensive
that his work might not be understood
by those who attend legitimate thea
ters. ' It is therefore not to bo won-"
dered ;at that,- while preserving his
general integrity as a competent artist.
he has inflated the principal charac
ter of "The Show Off" so even a first
nighfer'may enjoy It. v
Aubrey Piper, the vPhenn smart-
Aleck In "The Show Off' is a carica
ture, If not a burlesque of a fnmillar
type. Whereas all the other people
in the play are scrupulous representa
tions of life, Aubrey Is an amusing and
a vendible artificiality. His shallow
laughter Is a note too loud, his unnec
essary toupee too obvious, his geenral
behavior too pronounced to belong to
what Mr. Kelly calls "A transcript of
life.- eH 'is an overblown harlequin
In an everyday tragedy. Yet without
his excesses "The Show Off" would
not be the "hit" that it is.
At Craterian theater tomorrow
.Thursday) evening.
