Medford Sun: Prof e. R. Peter
son, rural school supervisor, while
returning from Portland few days
ago by auto, lost a suitcase in which
were goods valued at $50. When he
missed the suitcase he remembered
distinctly where he had loosened 1t
on the automobile and started up
again without tightening it. He had
travelled about mile, but when he
returned at once to the place the
missing article was gone. In the
suitcase among other things, was q
check book from the Jacksonville
bank. Yesterday letter was ad-
dressed to the bank, stating that the
suitcase had been found and giving
the name and address of the man who
found it. Prof. Peterson Immediately
wrote to the finder, inclosing a $5
check, the sum Of the reward offered,
and expects soon to recover the lost
package. He is pleased, to be sure,
that an honest man found the suit
case.

Soldiers Are Given
Another Big Time

On last Thursday evening the First
Presbyterian church was well filled
to hear the program prepared by the
young peoples societies of the Ash
land churches as a part of their send
off for the members of the 1st COM
pany. A few remarks were made by
H. S. Palmerlee, head of the commit
tee, by way of welcoming the boys in
olive drab. The next number was
the Woods" orchestra, composed Of
DR.. and Mrs. Woods and their three
boys, who rendered some very de-
lightful music. Then Mr.. Palmerlee
told some humorous stories, after
which Lloyd Casebeer rendered a
beautiful piano solo. He responded
to hearty encore and again delight
ed his hearers. Miss Doris Bagley
sang very prettily two numbers, both
Of which were highly appreciated,
The last number was the singing by
groupe of the soldiers, who made
a real hit with their fine harmony
and enthusiasm. They had to re-
spond to more than one encore. Mr..
Palmerlee explained that the rest of
the program was to take place just
outside on the lawn and that each
young man was requested to select
young lady for his partner on the
way out-but there were not enough
young ladies to go around! Slim
ance that we old baches had.
rhe lawn of the First Presbyterian
church was a pretty scene in which
the color effect was produced by long
lines of Chinese lanterns suspended
from tree to tree and church. On
the green lawn beneath the colored
lights we're scores of pretty young
ladies and oliye-drab clad young men
talking and laughing. The breezes
coming from the north were rather
too cool, so many Of the young people
huddled behind the trees or the
church building. A conversation
game" Il suppose that is what l
should be called was INDUCED IL
first This required a considerable
length of time. Then followed the
serving of refreshments. Ice cream
and cake were served by young ladies
at a booth cafeteria style. Everyone
enjoyed this part of the program
very much-even the old bachelors
and married men that hung back In
the dark corners, who were conspicu'
GUS by their inslgnificance on this
occasion, M. G. Reed, acting as
POSTMASTER, called on Homer Bill
lings. Mayor Lamkin, Lieutenant
Spencer and himself for few re-
marks, all of which was enjoyed, es'
pecially some of the jokes told. In
closing Mr.. Reed explained that the
young people would present each OF
the boys a New Testament to take
with them when they go away to
serve their country. The Testaments
were presented to the boys the next
day.
The affair was attended by about
200 young people besides the few old
bachelors and married men.
The committee representing the
young peoples societies deserve much
credit for the fine entertainment ten
dered the soldiers Of our home town
The committee consisted Of the fol
lowing: Fl. s. Palmerlee, chairman
Miss Priscilla Carnahan, Miss Gladys
Carnahan, Miss Moorehouse and Mr.
and Mrs. Barnhill.

Medford Sun, July "a: Sergeant
A. Z. Powell Of the 7th company, G.
A. c., Medford, who for eight years
has been pressman on the Mail Tri-
bune and for five years has served in
the same capacity on the Medford
Sun, was the recipient of a pleasing
surprise when he placed his time slip
in the usual receptacle Monday even
ing, for he soon will leave with the
7th company for somewhere at the
front. Members of the mechanical
department surrounded him and for
a moment the sergeant, unarmed, felt
that the enemy was about to make a
surprise attack. A. R. Williams al
layed his fears, however, when, with
a package in hand, he began to tell
Comrade Powell what the boys
thought Of him, and, since in his long
experience in the office he had con-
sistently been so forgetful of time,
they would provide him with the
means Of watching the hours slip by
during his prospective experience in
the trenches. A wrist watch, with
radio dial, was then given the SER
geant as a token Of the esteem of his
Comrades in the grind" at home Mr.
Powell's appreciation of the touch
ing, ticking token was expressed with
a choke or two-and the bracelet was
adjusted. N

GRAFT RULES CHINA.
To Refuse TO Accept 1t Would Create

To Refuse TO Accept 1t Would Create
a Big Sensation.
WHY can't China build her own rail
roads, dredge her own canals? she
has engineers who are no slouches; she
has limitless material and the cheap
est of labor.
There are two reasons, sloth, and
graft, the outgrowth of sloth.
TRY to take one of the little steamers
that ply from point to point along the
coast of China. Twill the boat leave
today at the schedule timeY you ask
the agents at the pier. Well, no, prob
ably not till tomorrow, the courteous
Chinese tell you. Tomorrow again there
Is some delay, and you may hang about
for week before you get off in that
steamer. How could such methods
build a trunk line from Picking to Can
ton, even if the government could float
all the bonds in the world?
Graft which permeates all China,
from the highest official to the poorest
coolie, would make it very difficult for
corporation to live. So many would
take bites from the melon!
A missionary over here on a visit
tells a story of a Chinese boy, educat-
ed in mission school, who nearly up
set whole province by refusing graft
Sent on some expedition for the local
government, he was given what in our
money would be $500 for expenses.
When he returned he handed in $50.
"What is this for?" they asked.
81 spent only $3.50" he explained.
There was a great to do, and the
governor of the province sent to see
this lad, who had done what no man
had ever been known to do before
But he was solemnly assured that he
must not retNrn that $50 because il
would mortify others who kept all they
could get.-Eleanor Booth Simmons In

HEDGE OF SWEET PEAS ON IMPROVED
GROUNDS OF INCINERATOR PLANT.
a fast growing city like Portland the
plant proved in a very short time to be
too small. To overcome the situation
part of the garbage had to be buried
on the dump. AS there is always
considerable amount Of paper mixed
with the garbage, the dump soon
caught fire, sending the stencil from
the burning garbage over the residence
section of the city. Those fires were
the cause of strong demand for the
removal of the plant and the dump and
for the installation of new and up to
date plant. The contract for the con-
struction of a $50 ton incinerator, to
be erected in the same locality, was
let to local company in 1910, and the
plant was accepted by the city of Port
land In December 1911. After long
and vigorous test it proved to be a
great success from both the sanitary
and economical points of view.
With the garbage disposal question
solved, attention could now be given to
the improvement of the filthy and I'M

dump surrounding the plant. To &C
complish this the ground had to be
raised in places from six to twenty

bustible material was used in this fill
mostly wood ashes hauled in by gar
bage collectors. This took considerable
time, but in the spring of 1914 We had
a small part of the older fill sowed in
white clover. The result of this expert
ment was a surprise and showed what
ashes, when leached out for about a
year. could grow. The ground was
seeded. and by July the lawn was in
as fine a condition as any lawn in the
city.
1t has cost the city for seed up to
the present date 1884. All the flowers.
bulbs. plants and shrubs were either
donated by friends or obtained from
refuse hauled to the incinerator to be
destroyed. Two hundred rose bushes
were given to the plant in the fall Of
1914 by James o. COnvill, superintend-
ent of city parks, and about 100 have
been added since. The last lot are
very choice roses and were sent to the
plant by a local floral house a little
after the planting season. Free offers
of new varieties of sweet peas and
other flower seeds for the privilege of
testing them at the ground the coming
season have been made by seed deal
ers. The ground and location are ideal
in bringing the foliage. shape and color
Of the flowers to perfection.
With the coming season the improve
ments win be extended. and in a very
short time the city will have beauti-
