Wedding BELLS in Medford.

The Medford Mail Tribune gives
the following account of a charming
romance which consummated in the
marriage of Miss Winnifrede Smith,
who had been guest of her aunt,
Mrs. H. C.. Hulit of Ashland, and c.
Virgil Strang of Medford, and which
took place in the latter city last
week:
"The wedding came about unex-
pectedly, Mr.. Strang who is man
ager of the Strang pharmacy, and a
pharmacy graduate of the o. A. c.,
and member of the Kappa Psi fra
ternity, together with his brother,
Herbert, and Miss Smith, were enjoy
ing social time at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. G. Enders in Ashland
Monday night, when at late hour
a telegram came summoning Miss
Smith home to Los Angeles to attend
her sisters wedding. 1t was then
and there decided by Miss Smith and
Mr.. Strang to get married that night.
Jumping into an automobile with Mr.
and Mrs. Enders and Herbert Strang
they hurried to Jacksonville, aroused
County Clerk Gardner, obtained the
wedding license and then speeded for
Medford, where they rousted DR.. R.
j. Conroy, who had first introduced
Miss Smith and Mr.. Strang, out Of
bed and had him join the wedding
party. Then they went to the home
of Rev William B. Hamilton, awak-
ened him from sound sleep, and a
few minutes later were man and wife.
"The bridegroom then called up
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Strang by telephone and told them
to get up and get ready to receive
himself and bride and the wedding
party.
Early Tuesday morning the bride
started for Los Angeles. She will re-
turn in about three weeks. The new
ly welded couple have no completed
plans for the future, but 1t is
thought they will make their home
in Medford."

uted their services without cost to
the government. The examining
physicians particularly showed liber-
ality in this respect, for the total out
lay OF the government for physical
examinations in all Oregon was only
s12.40, and the total payment to
members of district boards was ST.
412.50. The employees of registra-
tion and other boards in Oregon re-
ceived S9,S47, most of this going to
clerks and stenographers.
Out of 1850 men called for ex-
animation in Oregon 1,400 were ac-
cepted, being 4S.44 per cent of the
total. The average for the country
was 34.30 per cent. In Washington,
out of 36,S97 men called for examin-
alton. 1,O95, or 30.07 per cent, were
accepted.
There is but one blot on oregon's
draft record-that is in the matter of
slackers. Two hundred and seventy
nine of the registrants called failed
to appear giving Oregon a Stacker
record of S.4S per cent, where the
general average for the country was
S.1S per cent. Washington had
3,474 slackers, or 9.42 per cent Of
those called.
AS showing more clearly the fine
physical condition of the young men
of the northwest, General Crowder's
tables show that out of 1922 men ex-
amined physically in Oregon, 1,947
or 1926 per cent were found physic-
ally qualified, THE national average
was 7O.S9 per cent In Washington
the percentage was 74.29, in Idaho
7S.42 and California 1888.
The national average OF regis
trants claiming exemption on various
grounds was 1905. In Oregon only
1851 of those registered claimed ex-
emption, and 71.62 per cent of those
claiming exemption were exempted

OREGON LEADS L. $.
IN PATRIOTIC DUTY

Oregon carries off first honors for
performance of patriotic duty under
the selective draft law, as evidenced
by an elaborate report submitted by
Provost Marshal-General Crowder to
the secretary of war. In three par.
ticulars Oregon led all the other
states; in all particulars its record
is far better than the general aver
age.
First-Oregon furnished more vol
unteers. in proportion to population,
than any other state; hence its net
quota under the draft was the small
est in the country.
Second-Oregon had more coun-
ties free from the first draft than
any other state.
Third-Oregon registered its regis
tration at an average cost of II cents
per man registered, where the aver
age for the country was 81 cents and,
il, one state, went to s1.O3.
In a series of tables showing the
operation and result of the first
draft, Oregons record stands forth
where all who study may find the
indications of achievement. A table
showing the costs of the selective
service system shows the total ex-
pense to the government was s5,211,-
965. Oregon's share of this total was
s6,S09 The per capita cost of men
examined, as stated, was only IL
cents. Oregon had 63,319 regis
trants, of whom 2 $50 men were
called and 1,40O accepted. The cost
per man accepted was $4.S6. as
against a general average of S4.93.
The low cost in Oregon is due in
no small degree to the fact that mem
bers of draft and exemption boards
and examining physicians contrib
