Although the entry of horse races
Tor the Josephine county fair closed
last Satmvlay, the entry list Is
largo, and surpassed the mimber
entered for the Jackson county
fair. According to n. G. Fowler,
county agent, there will be a num
ber of entries made, this week,
which closes tho entries for the
local fair.
Mr. Fowler returned yesterday
from the Lane county fair at Ku
genc, and reported that the horse
races were very good. "A number
of tho same horses will compete
in the races here," he said.
The Rfternoon and evening pro
grams will be about the same, ex
cepting the races. Public weddings
were features of the Lane county
' fair, and the Eugene merchants
were very liberal with gifts for the
bride and groom, Mr. Fowler
stated.
As an H'lded attraction, the Dove
Anderson rodeo will bo on the en
tire program.
Dinner, luncheon or picnic
wherever Medford people ate Hun
tay, there was watermelon. For
watermelons over 12 tons of
them were sold in Medford Sat
urday. , That's what a check of
tales at the local stores this morn
ing showed.
All day long the watermelons
were in demand. There were few
whoppers that didn't load one or
more into the family car along
with tho other groceries Satur
day night. And one store was
even giving a melon away with
each order of several dollars.
Many of the melons were from
the local ciop, which is just be
ginning to come onto the market.
Others were shipped here from
California. In additiun to those
sold at the stores wore tho ones
bought from vegetable and fruit
growers.
Cantuloupes were not much In
demand, the survey jjJiows. .Only
a few were sold in comparison to
the watermelons disposed of.
A larfiC turnout of local Legion
naires Is looked fnr tonight when
the regular meeting of Medford
pyKt No. 15 takes place at the
Armory. Several matters of im
portance will occupy the attention
uf tho World War veterans, in
cluding nomination.s for new offi
cers. Although no definite 1
formatinn has been received con
im Tiling the probable candidates
for commander, it is rumored th:tt
u prominent young Legionnaire
business man of Medford will b-.
nominated for thin high position
thif evening. Speculation is rife
regarding the offices of viec-com-inandcr
and adjutant there being
several possible candidates for
these berth.".
Final plans for the labor dav
ball, which takes place next Mon
day at the Oriental Gardens will
be announced tonight and other
items of Interest submitted for

No one will ever cunvinco
Mrs. Harry K. Lane of Illuck
fot. Ida., that Meilford isn't
a paradise and that thoro a
Paradise and that there
aren't antt-ls hovering over
the pear trees of Rogue Kiver
valley.
Arriving in the citv in
search of health, and work for
herself and her two hoys, Fri
day evening, she had the tem
porary ill fortune to loso her
pulse with their last ,$56,
transportation from Los An
geles and Ulackfoot, and a
numher of priied keepsakes,
on tho road from Medford to
Jacksonville, on S a t u r day
morning.
She advertised Just one ad
in tho Mall Tribune, Sun
day morning. This office was
notified that tho purse was
found by J. E. Clemens, man
ager of the Westerlund Or
chards. Calling at the Clem
ens home tht morning, tho
Idaho woman and her two
sons not only received their

tho summer, and now un

ganization, made necessary by the
crowded situation there. Classes
will begin at 8:15 a. m. instead of
9 as formerly. AU teachers will be
on hand at 8 a. m. Pupils who do
not have a class reciting at 8:13
and can show by their school
grades that the period irom S:l5
to 9 is not needed for study may
secure permission from the prin
cipal to report at 9 a. ni., but as
Superintendent Hedrick explained,
"We have to schedule classes the
best way we can under the circum
stances, and no promises can bo
made in advance that an y pupil re
quests for 9 reporting can be hon
ored. Advance requests in this con
nection will be useless. We are
going to do the best we can for all.
That is all 1 can promise at tins
time.'
Instruction in art work will be
ottered in junior high and nigh
school to a limited number of
pupils this year. Work In free hand
drawing, designing, and modeling
arc planned. Miss Louise Hollcn
back of Glendale, California, a
graduate of the University of Ore
gon Art school, and a teacher of
several years experience wilt have
charge of the work in both schools,
as well as supervision of the work
in the lower grades.
The Atypical Child
Another new phase of work this
year is that with atypical children
under Miss Louise Basford in the
Washington school, but open to any
children in the city who need it.
By tho term "atypical" children
"subnormal" is not meant. An
atypical child, educationally speak
ing, may have just as much intel
ligence perhaps more than a typi
cal or normal child, but for some
reason or other ho does not learn
readily by the same means which
the average child uses and when
neglected develops into a so called
non-reader, non-speller, etc. It has
boon found that by putting such
children with a specialist for a few
weeks, wo can do much toward
straightening out their kinks and
getting them on the right track.
This work was begun in Medford
tho past summer and with such
success that tho board had decided
to offer a continuation of it.
Parents having children who need
tho work should call the city school
superintendent, phone 811, or Arias
Louise Basford, phone 708-X for
conference.
Pupils who will be six years of
age before six weeks after the
opening of school, or October Mth.
are accepted for entrance without
question; younger pupils who will
be six during the first semester
may be accepted providing they
show by test a mental ago develop
ment of G1 yearn, parents of such
children who desire to enter them
should call tho city superintendent
or Mrs. George B. Canode. phone
1067-L, who has charge of testim?
such pupils, between now and Au
gust iilst.
Boundaries Defined
The boundary lines of the wards
served by the four elementary
schools are. with few exceptions
the same as last year and are as
follows:
The high school and junior high
school each Kcrves the whole city
for the grades each represents.
The four elementary schools
house grades one to six. Itouscvelt

The Lincoln school serves that

lU'Mrt t Own School
All pupils from tho given dis-
tricts are expected to report to !
their ow n respective schools . for I
the opening day. Following regt.-s- 1
t ratio ii, where it can lie shown that I
individual parents or pupils will
bo better accommodated by atten- j
dance at some other school, flu ,
effort will be made to effect trans- i
fcrs. Superintendent Hedrick point-
ed out that while the board and j
he were desirous of meeting the t
wishes of pn rents in so far as they 1
could, that in a crowded situation
such as Medford has,"' and with
school buildings not exactly loeat- j
ed in centers of population, it is i
not always possibly to plnce every '
cniui as they would liko to be able i
to do. j
According to the board's order,:
tuition for non-resident children Is
fixed tho same as last year at
$U.OO per month for elementary ,
nnd junior high school pupils, pay-'
able in advance. For high school
pupils. It is $10.00 per month.
High school pupils living In a
school district which does not sup
port a high school have, their tui
tion paid by the county. Non-resident
parents who are in arrears
on tuition from last year, must
square the account before their
children will be accepted Into the
Medford schools for this year.
Tentatively, the following as
signment of teachers has been
made. A general teachers' meet
ing has been called by the city su
perintendent for the junior high j
school building, Saturday, August
31, at 2:00 p. m. for preliminary j
organization and assignments. Fol- j
lowing the general meeting, there
will be special meetings of the!
teachers of the several schools. I
