In our pleasant leisure hours, Wa csn make life very bright By using all within our power To change dark hours into light. i With pen and brush and sculptor's knife, To perpetuate our dally thought. Our league will begin 1U useful life; lie cheerful battlra will be fought. In Oregon's land of sunshine. Away from the outside world; With stories, boo Irs and rhyme, . Our banner Is low unfurled. And now our Lesgua must have a name; Mv friends, what do vou uvf Will the name of "Medford" give It fame? If not, "Southern Oregon" may. POST AND WIFE CHECK ROUTE OF WORLD FLIGHT w& -;,.

Then, if they ask my opinion, I'n pretty frank and tell them why "Luckies please" me, at least. After all, there's an intimate relationship between a cigarette and my lips because "Iti toasted'. and I'm very sensitive about my personal daintiness. Certainly I en joy Luckies' delicious tobaccos and their mellow-mildness but the comforting purity of "Toasting" is what I prize almost above every thing else. And that is a woman's reason for saying "Luckies Pleasel" WILL STAGE PICNIC A picnic, being sponsored by the Amateur Radio club of eouthern Ore gon, will be held in Llthla park at Ashland Sunday, starting at one o'clock.
