Strangers View
OF the Springs

U. S. Civil Service Inspector Her.
bert F. Ward was in Ashland Satur-
day and in conversation with Post
master Casey asked about our pro-
posed springs enterprise. Mr.. Casey
explained what we proposed to do
and he at once sat up to take notice.
He said if our plans were carried out
on a comprehensive plan it would
make Ashland a city of fifty thou
sand in five years. He at once in
quired the price of property and said
If the bonds carry he would be back
to make some purchases. That is
how people from the outside look at
the proposition, and taht is what
those citizens of Ashland who have
seen cities grow and know on what
they grew are sure will happen to
Ashland. 1t is a good thing to be
conservative, but many town has
been killed by conservatism. In fact,
that has greatly handicapped Ash
land in the past. eve can do it, and
we will, Ashland, Ashland, Ashland. -

Seniors Enjoy
A Big Feed

The boys of IA gave the girls a
great dinner on Friday evening last.
The guests OF honor were Miss
Frances Hamlin and Miss Kathryn
Miller, who left Saturday for Homo
lulu. At 5 o'clock the boys congre-
gated at the Marsh Wagner home
and spent the next hour industriously
peeling potatoes, giving orders and
explanations, and expressing their
various opinions on the mysteries of
the culinary art. However, work was
turned off in surprising manner,
tatoes were to be seen, as well as
bales OF asparagus and other arti-
cles. Had any of the girls happened
around they would have been sur
prised to hear the learned discus
sions on oyster cocktail, "entree."
brown gravy, and the like. Frame,
the manager OF the OCCASION. was
fairly bursting with the responsible
ity of remembering the different ar
ticles on the menu, and, indeed, he
got so excited he went to the phone
and tried to find "halibut" on the
phone directory. If few of these
reports are a little mixed up, the re-
porter begs to be excused, being a
little excited at the time. Dinner
was booked at o'clock, and owing
to their usual promptuess the boys
called feeds ready" az the exact
hour of nine. The feminine mem
bers trailed in on the arms of their
respective escorts, and several fairly
tainted when they saw the culmina-
tion of decoration aud culinary
achievement.
After the first course OF cocktail
a toast was called for from Business
Manager Frame, who promptly slid
under the table. Next the fried hall
but la herring was served, which
was minced with a coming appetite.
After this course the senior quartet
was kind enough to favor the diners
with a number of musical selections
by Tennyson, Paderewski, Shakes
peare and Others, which OF course all
enjoyed, as they had to sit still and
take it. Professor Klum rendered
few verses of college songs while the
chorus was tunefully participated in
by the entire quartet. The rest of
the menu consisted of the following:
Roasted fresh hams, mashed pota-
toes and brown gravy, apple jelly,
'creamed asparagus, while the din
ner was brought to a close by ice
cream and cake, the former being
made with the class colors. 1t was
truly an inspiring sight to see the big
table with thirty-six about it, a great
roast at each end, heaping piles of
mashed potatoes, and wide-spreading

piatters OF creamed asparagus, while
the table was beautifully decorated
with carnations, roses and smilax,
and wild almond blossoms. Profess
sor Moore graced one end of the ta-
Bile and S. A, Peters the other, both
carving the roasts to perfection Miss
Wagner dished asparagus until her
arms ached. Margaret Siemantel
gave reading which was highly in
structive and entertaining, and ap-
preciable only by such an intellectual
CD audience present.

farce in book form. MIR. James Bright
has grcwn rich, and is daily growing
richer, as a manufacturer of patented,
doUbly improved kitchen utensils. His
market has spread from the British
Isles to the British colonies, to British
India, but he does not enjoy his wealth,
for his wife clings to the frugal ways
of their earlier life together. He
would fling his money around--it il
not only pleasure, but duty to the
state-she restraints him. No tilmy
petticoats for her, 10 silken stockings;
the pit instead of the stalls at the the

cabs. So James, who believes in the
goodness of the world, has the brillian.
idea of luXuriOusly establishing a num-
Der of young women of eXtravagant
tastes but no means to indulge them.
1t is all platonic, done in an avuncular
spirit, but the world is not as good as
James Bright believes it to be; there
fore it begins to whisper. then to talk
aloud. And at last Mrs. James is told
of her husbands supposed wickedness.
Then the storm breaks loose from al!
sides. An entertaining invention.

WEIMAR IN THE SEVENTIES
A Picture of the Followers of
Franz List.

Ernst Won Wolzogen's musical novel,
"Florian Mayr" (Huebsch), contains
some lively sketches of the admirers
who surrounded Franz List at Wei
mar during the later days of his career,
when he made that city his summer
residence, and the centre of the musI-
cal world, Wagner and Bayreuth not
outstanding, Here is the German
authors description of the opening Of
the season:
List arrived in May, and the poly
glot twitter of the flock that flew
about with him between Rome and
Weimar descended upon the city.
Pupils, male and female, strolled
about looking for rooms. Maidens
with languishing eyes, from the
Swedish white blonde to the darkest
Semitic brunette, with gigantic hats
and extraordinary toilets; pale
youths, nearly all of them beardless,
with uncannily long, bOny fingers,
and filled with the desire to look as
much like the Master as possible.
Nearly all wore gold bosom pins in
the form of medallions bearing the
bust of List. One wore fez with
an abnormally long tassel, another
sweated about in a fabulously long
overcoat, in order, if possible, to be
taken for an Able They called
their comrades TO the windows by
whistling musical motifs, chiefly from
Wagner, and carried on long CONVEX
IS sations with them, even from the
other side of the street, if that hap
pened to be more convenient. And at
noon it was very lively, indeed, in
the pianistic gardens of the restau-
rants where the many round tables
were spread.

"Our hearts were bleeding, but you

German servants in America
These are the words of Frau Wink
Ter, head of the German-Americsn
Friendship Club, the object of which
has been to create a better understand
ing between American housewives and
German servants.
Since the war began, according to
Frau Winkler, there has been so much
American prejudice against the Ger
man girls that many of them have lit
erally been "hounded out of their jobs"
They have not been discharged, she
said, but have suffered from lnsistent
and taunts, so that they
have been unable to remain IN their
places.
"One would think that American
women would sympathize with the poor
girl in this country whose loved ones

ing from this cold-hearted country.

come to America after the way we have
been treated. The American ladies will
miss their good servants then"
Projectors of employment agencies
on Sixth av said yesterday that they
had not heard many complaints from
German girls, but that German men
were being discharged from positions.
German walters in the hotels, it was
said. have lost their positions because
of their habit of engaging the Irish
and French boys in loud argument.
Far from suffering from the war, for
eign women in service ought to profit
from it, Sixth av. argues, because when
the men went home to fight, they left
vacancies which women must fill. But
lers and chefs, as we'll as tutors and
secretaries, must be replaced by women.
