splendid turn-out tftday Is but an

Jocular mood told those present th;it
we could not afford to lose the major

caught his limit of trout. He had
caught steelhead and salmon, snot
deer, bagged his limit of pheasants
and ducks. His latest adventure was
that of killing a 750-pound elk. But
hie two greatest achievements, stated
Mr. Harder, were that he captured a
mink with hla bare hands and one day
got lost in the forest.
In closing the meeting, Mr. Harder
announced that the directors of the
Rogue Vai'.;y Golf club had extended
an Invitation t-? all officers and edu
cational advisors to play golf as their

younger residents.
Out of the total of 3590 boys
and girls, there are 66 of the fem

oi.Iy four boys under 20 have wed.
This totals 70 married persons leas

SCHOOLS STRESS
Thla year the County School super

emphasis upon improvement In the

pelllrig and writing. A series of group
meetings are being held over the
county st which meetings some in
tensive work Is being done relative to
methods and techniques of teaching
writing. The county schools axe ve-v
fortunate in having for these group
meetings the services of Miss Lillian
Wise, supervisor 'of writing In th
Med ford sen ools, wh ose work hero
has won wide recognition.
The county school superintendent
said Saturday hla office appreciates
the cooperation of the teachers and
administrative offices of the Medford
schools In rendering assistance toward
constructive work In our rural schools
has accumulated. But now the out
look for the future Is much brighter.
Materials and men are available
at really bargain prices. Financing

safe, and accommodating. We antici
pate this fall will see a distinct

one of America's veterans, and ti an
active participant In the work of a
patriotic society which ts dedicated
to the preservation of American prin
ciples. x
"You place yourself as both a war
time and peace-time patriot and tnts
American.
"Be proud you CAN Join the Arm,
lean Legion." said Holmes. "Hundreds
of thousands of young men would re
joice Indeed If their Uvea could ao
be made over that the Legion
might be open to them. Be one of
the active Legionnaires of your com
m unity. Send In your dues."
Word has been received from the
