Mr. A. AV. I'ipcs retires as nia.v-
or of Medford with 1111 excellent
record of conscientious and
constructive service to his cred
it. During his administration
the city lias spent nearly Half
a million dollars in improve
incuts and upkeep the largest
; expenditure in nearly a (jllartci'
of a century and, in spite of
. ,
; the vicious and unprincipled at
I tacks of his enemies, he has not
I only met and disproved every
flue of them, but lie lias dem
onstrated that for every dollar
of the taxpayers' money ex
pended, the city has received
100 cents of value. Moreover,
while expenditures iiave ineras
cd, the tax rate has not increas
ed materially and in many ways
the expense of city administra
tion has been reduced.
Mvor Pipes and the retiring
eoiiuciinieu have served thei
city without pay, at consider
uble personal sacrifice of time
j and money, and for this Mayor
l'ipes particularly has received
lit tie 111 return but utilise, villi-
ficalion and considerable un
friendly ridicule.!. But such
treat mcnt seems to be u com
mon penalty in democratic (?ov
erniiicnt, particularly where
those in public office lack, as
Mayor Pipes lacked, the in
stinct and arts of the practical
politician. During bis admin
istration the people paid a great
deal of attention to tho incident
of the police matron and the
episode called forth that un
fortunate phrase, "bums in the

tention to what the' irtnyir and

However, that Is all over now,
and as time goes on, and the rec
ord of the past two years becomes
clearer, the people will appreciate
more and more what Mayor Pipes
and tho rotlrlrig counciltnen have
dono. 80, us we recently congratu
lated .Mayor Wilson and wished
him success In the future; we now
congratulate Mayor Pipes on his
record in the past, and assure him
that we appreciate his unselfish
and unremitting devotion, his en
ergy, courage and efficiency, de
voted to the betterment nnd up
building ot the city of which he,
and we all, are so proud.

A miniature blizzard is ruglng

is of course delighted. She is now
getting rigged up to go out in it,
and there is this to be said for the
young lady. While nearly every
other member or the family reun
ion is suffering from a cold, she is
as fit as a fiddle. Perhaps if the
grownups had spent as much time
as sho in the open air and also as
much time after sundown in bed,
they would be as fortunate.

i But, now tho honso of commons,
and many others in England, are
CX(.ile4 because one stag, excited
y the hounds, fan off the south
coast of England into the sea and
was drowned.
Usually the stag shakes Iu.h (ail
onco or twlco, hops ovor the fence,
is gone, and seen no more.
But many in this country will
agree with some kind-hearted mem
bars of parlinmont that It is an out
rage to pursue a stag with hounds,
and down tho stag.
And wo take calmly the fact that
five hundred thousand traps, at
this moment, are holding animals
of different kinds, caught for their
fur, and doomed to suffer agony
uutil tho trapper, at his leisure,
comes to release thorn.
Sometimes such an animal will
blto off its leg and thus gain free
dom for a cripjded life. And every
body knows how fishing Is done.
The fact Is that men are still In
tho ngo of cruelty, and there's po
use making a fuss about ono stag.
A young woman will kill a help
less animal, and have her photo
graph tnken with hor foot on its
head. Sho would he shocked if she
saw n gorlllao standing with its
foot on the head ot a freshly killed
mnn or woman.
Men, looking for employment, in

Answer We doctors, taking a

a nostrum for common complaint
call It Ichthyosis, which seems so
much nicer to havtt than fishskin
disease, alligator skin, gooee sklnj
and the like. Instead of soap,
which is bad, use any good oil to!
cleanse the akin. In fact the
scaly patches require oiling two j

But medicnj education In' this
country is in the hands of high-

you had better apply to the medi
cal school where you hope to
study, for advice about the pre
medical college course. The edu
cational institutions have their
foibles and tricks, and a pre-med
ical course that Is satisfactory to
ono medical school may be qulto
inadequate to admit you to an
other medical school. The uni
versities, too, have their tricks
a college, course that , Is recog

TARDY PUPILS
By Alice Judson Pcalc. . 'V
The first graders at a certain
public school are severely reproved
by their teacher whenever they ar
rive late. ' -
Sometimes they are even sent to
the principal to be thoroughly
scolded. Trained educators appar
ently do not understand child na
ture and are unaware of the situa
tion In the ordinary home when
they give a child of six or seven
punishment for being tardy. The
situation, however, is a common
one., in public school throughout
theTountry.
One little first grader was so dis
tressed by the scoldings she re
ceived for being tardy that she de
veloped the habit of vomiting .at
the time each morning when she
should have started to school. .
Actually the responsibility for
tardiness in the first and second
grader fails entirely upon the
home.
When mothers feel school au
thorities are not as understanding
on this point ns they should be it
would be well worth while for
them -to speak to those in charge.
They should have an understand-,
Ing which would place the respon
sibility for punctuality where it
belongs.
Little children, of course, should,
learn the necessity for meeting ap-
pointments. They cannot learn It
all at once, however, and it is un-i
fair to make them feel the burden
of wrongdoing when they fail.
If parents are faithful in meeting
the responsibility for punctuality
of children in the first and second,
grades there will be no difficulty in
their forming desirable habits. ;
By the time the child is nine or;
ten years old ..he. will be able and
willing to assume .this responsibil
ity for itself.

THK SXOW KIXO
By Mary (rohiim Bot.ner.
"I've a question to ask you."
Peggy said us the .14ttlo - Black
Clock presented the Snow Klntr.
He was . wearing... a .splendid
crown made out of Icicles, -which
gleamed in the
sunlight, and a
suit which madb
him look like a
snow man.
"I w a n t to
know." she con
tinued, as the
Snow King said
that he would an
swer any qucs
tlon that he
could, "if It will
be clear a week
from today, ns
we're going skating on Egg pond.
"Here you ask mo that question, 4
nnd all tho Little l!Iac Clock has
to do is to lurn the time ahead
f-o that you can toll just what a
week from today Is going to l't
like," laughed the Snow King.
"That's true." oaid Peggy. "I
just never 4hoiight of II." The Ut
tlo Black Clock was laughing at
the Joke toot
So the Litlie l!hiok flock turned
the time ahead, and Peggy saw that
tho day for tlie skating party was
a fine, clear one.
Then he turned It back a few
days for the alelgh-rlde. How won
dertul it was to take a sleigh-ridc
and tho Snow King nt on the back
of their sleigh and told stories of
what happened In his world where
the Bnowflako children and the
Icicles Jived.
It was late when thoy were on
their way home, and tho Know
King gave great cheers as the
moon came out and tho stars be
gan to twinkle.
"I bring out my jewels for them
to admire. Do you see? The Sun
always likes to see my jewel", too.;;
he said. And Peggy nnd John know'
that it was true. They had been
out some days when the jewels the
Snow King was showing tho Sun
re so brilliant, jtbat, llioy could
hardly see fhc.y werri so dazzled.
They said jiooiTy toj'th'r Snow
King now, but as they shook hand
with him It seemed as though each
of them had clutched a snowball!
