preciated. Those present were: Su-

Celebrate Rirthdays.

March 25 and &c are the birthdays
of Mr. and Mrs. w. s. Ball, and both
were duly celebrated at their home
on Harrison street. The 25th was
Mrs. Balls 10th birthday and they
entertained a number of their old
friends and relatives at dinner in
honor of the event. The guests were
mostly old Colorado friends and
neighbors and included the follow
ing: Messrs. and Mesdames w. ].

Wenner and Laura Wenner, and
Messrs. Homer Elhart, Clinton B.

instead of being busy with books.
Hence, one in six are growing up
illiterate. 1t may be mentioned that
one-tenth of them are in the great
city of New York. the harbor for
immigrants. She. the proud mother
of three, emphasized the fact that
chiIdless homes means the doom Of
American liberty and all it stands
for, as foreign children will take
their place. The women present
represented at least 100 children,
theirs by God-given right, and the
enthusiasm shown over these mental
problems would indicate it would
not be their fault if that proportion
of Ashland's population were not
properly mothered.
Later, topics will be introduced
that will touch directly on the
temptations that are used to induce
children to go wrong. One will
probably be, when should mothers
cease to chaperone their daughters?"
Another, Where is your wandering
boy and girl at night?"
The snuff-dipping habit, which is
causing CONSERVATION among the
Portland police, as the youngsters
get started in the way they surely
should not go, will perhaps be
touched upon in the near future, as
well as San Francisco's latest fad,
soaking a belladonna porous plaster
to brew a drink that is just as likely
to kill as to exhilerate.
Due notice will be given of the
next meeting.

A program, nearly two hours in
length, pertaining to children, filled
the time. Among the first numbers
was paper prepared and read by
Mrs. Cora Slingerland. The neces-
sity of children obeying their parents
was handled in an excellent manner.
1t was well emphasized that if a
child was properly trained in the
home he was not likely to bring dis
grace on his parents after he reached
maturity.
Mrs. Jessica Porter followed with
reading that was we'll received.
Young Master Marsha won honors in
cunning little speech about "Old

The Apple

Says official of Massachusetts: mot only
do we want to boom the apple a cooked
food, but 1t should also be used more in its
raw state" Even more commendable, because
more definitely practical, was the suggestion of
the governor of Indiana that each person in the
State recognized Apple Day by eating at least
one apple, in accordance with the tradition that
an apple each day keeps the doctor away. The
trouble has always been, OF course, that nobody
could stop with AS Treyisa found at the
end Of the fourteenth century "Chyldren loue an
apple more than golde." And there is the sad
