The Med ford poatoffloe lias mnn
.ifjprt,. thanks to thurmifjh prepara
tory system and the use of experi
enced substitutes to augment its
regular staff during the Christmas
rush season, to keep abreast with
the delivery of the record -breaking
number of parcels and othe.
"'hristmas mail that has been le
celved this week, and for this rea
sons Postmaster Warner gave out
the welcome news this noon that a
Wl) per cent delivery clean-up will
ho made of all Christmas mall by
early this evening.
, This means that every Christmas
package, letter or postcard that
had arrived in the city by this
noon will be delivered, probably
before night, as tho special Chrisl
mas parcel carrying train from
Portland, running as the second
section or train .No. 13, arrived
shortly after the first section this
noon, and there are no more par
cels or other mall to arrive in the
city today, as tho afternoon iiml
evening trains do not carry mail
or parcels.
An Illustration of the hercule.ui
task the local postoffice staff has
been accomplishing this week and
the fact that a 10 per cent de
livery will be made by this even
ing, is the fact that yesterday
2,087 parcels alone were delivered
by the posoffice motor delivery
Afiucks, besides the hundreds of
parcels delivered by the regular
carriers, who also delivered in the
afternoon an untold number of let
ters und 'postal cards.
The Christmas load that nrriveJ
on the special train this noon was
nulte light ns compared with the
great loads of the past four dayv.
Of course, belated Christmas mail
will arrive in the city during tc

PENNEY EMPLOYES TO
GET BONUS TONIGHT
For the employes of th eJ. C.
Penney store, Christmas will be
more than a happy event, as bonus
checks, ranging from $HG to $130
were to be distributed this evening
to clerks in recognition of their
service and the amount of their
sales. An interesting fact of the
Penney stores, Manager William
Bolger said this afternoon, was
that employes are never "docked"
for loss of time caused by sick
ness. Jt was not long ago when
the store paid wages of a clerk for
35 days while she was sick, and
sent her flowers ever other day.
A Christmas service will be con
ducted at the English Lutheran
church nt 7 p. m, on Christmas day.
The pnstor will give one of the
moat beautiful of the Christmas le
gends and the children of the Bible

fit nm. You are cordially Invited

BRINGS CHEER 10
; In accordance with their annual
i custom, nieinbors of the Medford
! Rotary club held a special Christ
J mas program today in honoifc of
j the old gentlemen of the county
j home. The program which was in
Jcharge of a committee headed by
I Fred Heath, Sr., opened with up
I propriate musical selections by the
mixed quartet of the Presbyterian
church. Three beautiful Christmas
carols were rendered by the quar
tet which consisted of Mrs. Flor
ence McKlhose. Mrs. Edna Isaacs,
Dr. W. W. Howard and Mr. Mac-
Donough, with Mrs. 11. E. Marsh
as accompanist. Other musical
numbers were group singing by
the club and impromptu solos by
chas. Clay, Wm. Allen and Herb
Alfofd.
A splendid Christmas address by
Rev. Wm. IJ. Hamilton, former
Holaria n was grea t ly a pprecia ted
by all present. Hev. Hamilton
spoke of Christmas Day being the
birthday of a "gambler," not the
type of gambler, however, that one
usually thinks of but the type of
man who stakes his all In an en
deavor to attain a high Ideal. He
went on to cite cases of "gamblers"
of this type, men such as Colum"
bus whn he set out on what was
deemed a hopeless mission, the
Wright Bros., who risked life and
limb to conquer the air and Thos.
A. Edison who tolled , day and
night and spent a fortune to invent
the electric light and other mar
velous things to benefit mankind.
The greatest of all men who
toiled unceasingly and made end
less sacrifices for his fellow man
was He whose birthday we honor
tomorrow, stated the speaker. He
gave unstintingly and gambled
everything he had even ;to his last
stake his life in order that He
might relieve human suffering and
leave the world a better place in
which to live and against great
odds won.
Following Rev. H a m 1 1 t o n's
Christmas message Santa Clause,
impersonated by Kcl. Shock ley,
distributed Christmas packages to
the seven old gentlemen present as
honor guests und extended Yule
tide greetings in behalf of the Ro
tary club.
President 'Frank Newman ad
vised the members that a telegram
of condolence had been forwarded
to the family of Gov. Patterson
who was a prominent Rotarian of
Oregon. He also read a letter of
Christmas greetings to Wm. Ly
man, well known veteran member
of the looal club and a wire to Dr.
Sweeney, both of whom are con
valescing from recent illness. FoU
lowing tho meeting the elderly
guests were- escorted to their
homes by local Rotarians.

And not one word from Ashland
during the entire drive. The Med

superb spectacle of music, beauty
and drama coming to the Fox Cra

All the. rich qualities which drew
Broadway crowds for 6- consecu

have been retained In the film pro
duction nnd to these have been
added mobility and (magnitude
which the stage, even under the
direction of a Ziegfeld, could not
hope to attain.
Against the most lavish sets yet
seen on the screen Is played and
song the magnificent drama of the
Mexican borderland by Be be Dan

cast of hundreds. Mighty vocal
choruses, inspiring dance routines
nnd beauty yssemble show for the

! ' hast night's program at the First
'M. E. church featured Everett Colo,
j l-igli school student, whose poem.
i"The Christinas Star," won second
! place in the high school contest,
land Frnna llelte llray, local lytic
writer and poet, in two original
j poems each. Everett's "Christinas
! Star" and "15a be in u Manger."
I were sotilfully rendered and wmm-
ly received.
One of Mrs. Hruy's readings was
la story of the first Christmas told
fin beautiful word pictures. She
j was accompanied at the piano by
j Mrs. C. 11. Pnske, who softly
j played "The Rosary" during the
I recitation. The reading was ar
j ranged and partly written by .Mrs.
llray. Mrs. M ray's original poem
j Is as follows:
j "CIIHISTMAS TO ME"
Chiistmas means more to me
Than a tree.
Or merry feast ings on
Uuid and sea.
Christmas means mure to me
Than bells rung:
Than snow on hillsides or
Carols sung;
Or kind thoughts, or kind deeds
That von do
lTniess I can make you
Happy, too.
Christinas means more to me
Thau a screed.
Once there was One who helped
Those in need.
Christians means this to me:
Baby eyes
dazing so wistfully
Toward the skies;
Hearts ntune; friendships true.
Don't you see
Christinas wuh His liift to
You nnd me.
Other features of the program
were carols sung nnd special musi
cal numbers by the choir. Mesdames
Oeorge Wendt. F. K. Nichols, C. II.
Paske. X. M. Hogan nnd Mrs. t A.
Meeker each rendered solos. One
of the most pleasing numbers was
a violin nolo, "Canzonetta," by AIIbs
Montana Mahnn. The program con
cluded with th congregation stand
ing nnd singing "Holy" Night."

In order to correct nny mistaken
irfleas concerning the date of tho
I -eg I on s annual Christmas ball, the
local post has announced again that
this affair will take place on
Christmas night, Wednesday, De

The dance will bo held at the
Oriental C.ardcns, where the finest
floor and best equipped ballroom In
southern Oregon is available for
the enjoyment of the local dame
public.
There has been some confusion
regarding the above date, doe to
the fact that the Ashland Legion
