The next to follow was a float designed by Bert Whitman of Med ford representing the C resent bicycle. The float was drawn by six bicyclists on decorated wheels. This was as handsome a sight as any of tj parade. The hose cart wes trimmed with flowers and bunting and drawn by a number of youths with red shirts and caps. A darktown band of brown ies were scattered on the hook and ladder wagon, and brought up the rear of the procession.

Robert Enuls, reciting the Declara tion of Independence by Miss Bryant In a clear loud voice; song by the club, then the oration by A. E. Reames, and It is claimed by some of the oldest residents here that this Fourth of July oration came the near est of being directly to the point f any ever delivered on a like occas ion. There was a flowery beginning. The attention of the audience was held throughout the entire address and those who failed to hear Mr. Reames' address missed a fine liter ary treat.

The local cases are in the Central Point district. Isolated, and under control. Dr. Drummond says that tuleremla is an Infection caused by handling skinned rabbits,, is contagious and dangerous. The patients In this oounty had been engaged In skinning rabbits for their pelts and grinding up the meat for chicken feed. Squir rels, blood-sucking files and birds are carriers of the disease, but rabbits are the most common. Tuleremla was first located in Utah, where rab bit skinning is an Industry. The disease was classified and Its cure and control started. It also prevailed among the blacks of the south.

STATE CONVENTION Enterprise Orange met June 35 with a fair attendance and two guests present. Mrs. Harry Purrler, secretary, and Betty Hlllls, the new lecturer, were stranded up In the mountains with a broken wheel and were unable to be present. 8 later Esther Smith substituted as secretary and Sister Vivian Nor man Barto filled the lecturer's chair. opening the program with song and music and reading the message to state Orange convention from State Master M. C. Glover, which Brother J, R. Bowen brought to the meet ing. After discussion and a violin solo by Brother HI Moore the meeting was turned over to the worthy mas ter Eugene Moore, who, after the regular business Invited Brother J. R. Bowen, delegate to state Orange at Sllverton to deliver his conven tion report, also Sister Bowen to give a report from the Home Economics division. Brother Bowen reported that the hall was full to overflowing at every session there being a Orange mem bership of over 6000 within a radius of 60 miles of Sllverton. Much enthusiasm and interest was shown throughout the entire session. Much good was derived and dele gates went home filled with a de sire to. help Improve conditions throughout Oregon, By way of enjoyment 750 delegates drove 25 miles to Silver Palls, start ing at 5:00 a. m. to partake of a twenty-five cent breakfast, a feature of which was the largest strawber ries Imaginable, so big that he said Sister Bowen Inquired If those big red things were sausages? Seven thousand acres of strawber ries around Sllverton will not be picked owing to lack of market. Ber ries are selling four boxes for ten cents. One man had two hundred acres going to waste. The Grangers saw wonderful crops of wheat, barley and hay during their drive over this delightful country. The second evening of the conven tion Sllverton treated the delegates to a strawberry festival, giving every one all the strawberries and cream they could eat. The Bowens had a narrow escape from death on the way to Sllverton when a huge log came hurtling down the mountain side and struck the pavement only a few feet In front of their car. The state session passed a resolu tion to have a state bank at Salem with an auxiliary bank at each county seat. Investigation showed that the old battleship Oregon is costing the tax payers $9000 per year for mainten ance, having several aalarled people on board as caretakers, reception committee, etc. This and many other leaks In ex penditure was brought out and dis cussed. The good and 111 effects of chain stores was under the spot light and It was shown that there was a good as well as a bad side to the ques tion. Sister Barto told how the Skagg Brothers by buying all the sheep In the several mountain and western states had saved the sheep men from going broke last year, and that Skaggs even allowed the sheep men to shear their sheep and retain the wool after whlah these many thous ands of sheep were run through their hundreds of stores all over the nation as moderately priced meat, benefitting consumers as well as sheep owners. Only such a corporation as "Safe way" with Its enormous buying power and means of distribution could have had the ability to put through such a tremendous deal. Sister Bowen In her report, gave It as a consensus of the home eco nomics committee that women's clubs and activities caused women to grow and made them more val uable as wives, mothers and citi zens. The members of Enterprise Orange decided to spend July Fourth at the Reesbeck home, taking lunches and picnicking, playing games under the trees. .E GRANGE PLANS JULY 4 PICNIC Jacksonville granges will have a picnic July 4 near Bybee bridge, ac cording to plans announced by the organisation, and a large group of members Is expected to attend.
