Will Rogers is featured daily on the front page
of the Mail Tribune, his "wise crack" of the day

termed Abe Martin, the best and "most charac
teristic American humorist of the present genera
tion." His quaint rural wit is unsurpassed.

doctors but -by general agreement Dr. Brndy is ,
king of them all. Never dull, frequently witty,

Thousands of intelligent people in the country
"consult Dr. Brady first." lie has been a daily
fenture of the Mail Tribune for many years.

timeliness, these three features have always been

for the young and not too easy for the grown-ups.
A great diversion for all the family every eve
ning. DO YOU REMEMBER?

back files of the Mail Tribune. A link between
the present and the past one of the most popu
lar features ever started by the Mail Tribune,
particularly appreciated by the old-timers, but in
teresting to all as a sidelight on what Medford
"used to be, compared to what it is now."
SMUDGE POT
By Art Perry. This column has been conducted
by Commodore Perry in Medford for almost 20
years, and is generally recognized by newspnper
men as being the best column of the kind in the
entire state. Perry's quaint and original sayings
have not only been quoted week-to-week in the
newspapers of the Pacific coast, but have appear
ed frequently in the Literary Digest and the.
"New Yorker." Only a few months ago. Punch,
England's famous humorous weekly, quoted Med

an amusing variation of it is published every Sun
day. QUILL POINTS

satire and sound sense, nicely mixed, this illus

ture running in the American press.
