Scandinavian Yul Fest.

The Scandinavians of the Rogue
River valley held their annual Yul
Fest at ST. Marks hall. Medford, the
night of December 81. About $50
gathered and enjoyed themselves in
the customary way, by renewing old
acquaintances, playing games, listen
ing to program rendered by some
of the literary and musical members,
and later in the evening feasting on
many good things prepared by the
ladies.
The bulk of those there were from
Medford, while many from Ashland
came in chartered Interurban car,
which was packed TO the uttermost.
Others came in their own cars or by
train.
4 most enjoyable time was expert
enced by everyone present. Nearly
all Joined in the games. Even such
man as Nils Ahlstrom, who has
seen SO old years out and new years
in, was as spry and supple as any of
the children. julius Beauregard
proved himself to be something more
than violinist, and still plays like
an expert, but he can put many an
artist at cake-making in the shade
His cake was the turret of a battle
ship, with cannons and flags, made
unique and exact. This cake was
sold for S5.10, and it was voted that
the amount be given to the Red Cross.
Z. Andren was chairman of the
evening. This was very important
part, it requiring man of his ability
to handle the gathering and bring
about the success that was enjoyed.
The following program was ren:

of paramount Importance to an army
of young men, especially in France.
Our band, which is formed from all
the squadrons, is now able to furnish
us with very good music at all gath
erings in the Y. We enjoyed a good
movie show at the Y. last evening.
Thanksgiving we also had a full
holiday, and about o'clock we had
the finest dinner the army has ever
furnished us. There was one turkey
for each table of eight men, plenty
of dressing, sweet potatoes, celery,
green beans, gravy, tea, pumpkin pie
and nuts. Also a number of the boys
opened packages from home, which
contained various good things, but
that which was most appreciated were
homemade candies and fruit cake.
Those are the two delicacies which
we cannot get here. There are very
few cakes in town and they are small
and not very good, and the only
candy fit to eat here is poor imi-

sells at one franc Us cents) the bar,

These English are not cutters, new

they will ever tell, at having the

the men from the colonies delighted

know, France and England are full
of Australians, New Zealanders,
South Africans, Canadians, who
have never seen their homes since
the first month of the war. It's a
lonesome game for them; and they
feel that in a peculiar way the

fact, much OF the most interesting
information about the war has to
be suppressed. and for perfectly
good reasons. The censors doubt

everybody else; but it's my observa-
