Fruit Is DAMAGED

Medford, Or, Aug. ia sudden
wind storm struck the Rogue River
valley Friday night and in less than
half an hour did damages to tne pear
crop estimated at between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Fruit in the northeastern part of
the valley suffered most heavily, while
on the west there was ne damage what
ever. According toi county pathologist
C. C.. Cate, the loss will not exceed 10
per cent on all fruit, and in many dis
tricts the wind merely thinned the
fruit on later pear varieties, insuring
good size for the fruit that remained.

The Forbidden Vine

Among the things to be avoided,
when you stroll into the country, is
poison ivy. 1t chambers luxuriantly
over walls and fences and trees and.
late in the season, the old glossy
leaves, each of which is divided into
three lobes, turn to reds, browns and
yellows. Its fruit is small dun-color-
ed berry. The flesh that touches it
becomes infamed and swollen and
breaks into blisters that are commune
Gated to other parts as the victim rubs
them. Some persons are so sensitive
to the poison that they cannot go near
the ivy without being affected. The
ivy is good to look upon, but is bad to
handle.

Cobb on behalf of the ladies' Of Mineral

ed reverence. For three long years of
strife it was held high and never per-
mitted to trail in the dust by the brave

Down town from early to late in the
evening was one awful jam, notwitb-
standing the barring of autos and other
vehicles from High street. The vaude-
vile feature was performed on plat
form constructed on the mammoth auto
truck of the Mineral Point Lumber Co.
and moved from point to point. 1t
consisted of acrobatic stunts and served
to entertain many. The fireworks dis-
play was not up to the expectation of
ONE, but don't forget, fireworks cost
loDey this year.
All in all, it was clean, happy,
aud exceedingly patriotic
celebration, and to the managers spe-
cial praise is due.
