Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Brands

Baltimore, Md, April 11.-Un-
qualified denial of published reports
that 20 immigrant girls had disap-
peared from company train at
Newcastle, Pa, was made in state
ment issued today by an official of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The
statement says:
"There is absolutely no foundation
for the story. The Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company handled two
cars of immigrants from New York
to Chicago March IS, all reaching
their destination.
"a car containing 40 immigrants,
but no women, reached Newcastle
Junction March 6, en- route to Chi
cago, and was delayed by flood con-
ditions. The men were provided with
meals at the expense of the railroad.
While at the junction 19 of the i'm
migrants went to work with gangs
repairing flood damage and still are

A. l.. Strickland Makes Hit at Grants
Pass Concert.

The Rogue River Courier, pub
lished at Grants Pass, in its report
of Prof. MacMurray's annual concert
there Friday night, says:
"a particularly fine feature of the
evenings entertainment was the
singing of Mr.. Strickland of Ashland,
whose superb baritone was heard in
"The Song of the Heart" and in en-
core in "If You Were Near" He
declined to respond to a second en-
core, bowling his acknowledgment"
Prof. MacMurray's many Ashland
friends will be pleased to hear that
the concert was great success in
every way, there being only standing
room in the opera house for the late
comers. 1t is no surprise to his Ash.
land friends that Mr.. Strickland won
such hearty applause in our sister
city as his ability as a singer is be.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Flour mills that put out a trade
mark brand of their product have an
excellent opportunity to build up a
profitable trade of their own, by ad-
vertising. They should appeal to the
housewife--the woman of the house
that does her own baking. You
should play up the quality of your
flour-its nourishing and healthful
properties. Home industry can be
touched upon by stating that your
flour is just as good as the national
ly advertised brands (if it really is)
If you have not trade mark, get
one. Make it as plain and as typical
of your flour as possible. By thus
branding your product you make it
easy for the housewife to remember
the name when she wants more

Woman Has a Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Sadie Stephenson, who re-
sides southwest of Medford, and her
infant child had a miraculous escape
from serious injury at Oakdale and
Eighth streets in that city Saturday,
when a horse she was driving be-
came frightened at bit of paper
and ran away. Mrs. Stephenson and
her child were thrown from the car
riage. Mrs. Stephenson had the baby
in her arms. She struck on her side,
rolled over three times, and was not
injured to any extent. The child did
not even cry.
The horse ran into vacant lot
and ran around in circles until
stopped. Nothing was broken.
Bystanders who rushed to her aid
were startled to see Mrs. Stephenson
calmly climb into the rig and pro-
ceed on her way.

Kind friends, we're here tonight to

To clasp your hand and drop a
word of cheer
And add memory link of this
Grand Army hall
OF suppers, scenes and faces we've
met here.
This is our semi-annual birthday get
together,
A regular talkingfest around the
coffee hot,
With cheese and doughnuts tough as
onu Iaotbo,
And pies, the how to make our
mothers had forgot.
So laugh and shout and be merry as
you please.
Let old days springtime buds
swell within your heart.
Cast off dull cares, fling trouble to
the breeze,
For sorrows night comes soon,
and dear ones have to part,
But supper's ready now, so the Corps
girls say,
And all whose birth is in the six
months past
viii grab their pardners and wen !
the winding way
And seek the place to break their
little fast.
Some day for us no reveille win
sound;
Life's tents all pitched just on the
other shore;
Perhaps some roses dropped upon 6
grassy mound,
A marker says, "a Hero of the
War"
A tribute to our Burnside Corps I't
give
Our friends and loyal and to the
true and brave
Pledged to care as long as any live
Each year when gone a flag ant
flower decked grave.

one of the highest class of sacred

like professionals. The audience
was glad to hear again the rich voice
of Miss Bagley, and her selection re-
vealed especially the power of her
lower tones. The solo of Mr.. Strick-

a faultless manner. The choir has
