WARN COTTON MILLS
 TO BURN ALL SEED
Federal Horticultural Board Takes Steps to Prevent Importation
 of "Pink HOll Worm."

Washington, April 11.-Fear that the Pink holl worm," a dangerous cotton pest, may be introduced into the United States through the acci- dental presence of seed in lint cotton received by spinners, caused the fed eral horticultural board today to warn cotton mills. especially those in the south, to destroy by burning all seed that may be found in bales of import cd Egyptian cotton. These seed, 1t is said are likely to contain the larvae of the pest which is very destructive to American cotton.
 While the number of seeds acci- dentally left in a bale of cotton is probably small," says the board. "a very large quantity of baled Egyptian cotton is imported, so that in the ag gregate the number of infested seeds might we'll prove a serious menace to the local crop. This Is especially true in viewAof the fact that much of this baled cotton Is shipped to southern cotton mills which, in some cases, are in the immediate vicinity of cotton fields which would form ready breeding place for any larvae that might escape"
 An investigation is to be undertaken by the board in northern and south ern mills to determine the amount of infestation by the pink holl worm i'll the seed introduced.

CADDIES MUST GO
 TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
Exmoor Country Club of Chicago Is- sues Strict Order Concerning Boys
 Employed on Golf Links.

Chicago. April 11.--Boys who should be attending Sunday school will not be permitted to caddy on Sunday at the golf links of the Exmoor Country club of Highland Park this summer, according to announcement made today by D. F. Kelly, presi- dent of the club. When parents or pastors of Highland Park churches informed the club a boy is supposed to be attending Sunday school, the caddie master has been instructed to refuse him employment.
 Another innovaton to be employed by the club will be the sending of monthly report cards to the parents of caddies. These reports will state the amount of money paid to the cad dies, together with record of their attendance at the links.
 President Kelly hopes the attend ance figures will serve to keep the boys from playing truant under the pretext that they have been caddying By reporting their wages, he hopes to prevent the boys from betting on matches.

Last June the city of Ashland
voted a bond issue of $175,OOO for
the further development and utiliza-
tion of its five springs, in its new
Lithia park, comprising sixty-seven
acres, just above its present Plaza
park. A magnificent water temple,
the finest of it's kind in America,
will be at once constructed and the
park developed to a high degree of
beauty and comfort Band concerts
afternoon and evening will be fea
ture of entertainment after the first
of June. Plans are now under way
for fine, new, modern tourist hotel
to cost about $15O,000 complete,
with broad verandas and the last
word in appointment and service, and
q modern water cure sanitarium, un-
der direction of skilled physicians.

Our Sunset Skies

One other feature which seems to
crown natures lavish display with
glory-to cast over all mystic splen-
doris our western sky at sunset.
Cloud ranged in graceful lines and
tinted with soft, warm colors not to
be reproduced on the artists palette,
lie above the horizon, bathed in the
mellow light Of the descending sun.
Now they glow in the splendor of
dazzling crimson, now they catch the
gold of the SUD, now they reflect the
prismatic scale and slowly fade, as
the day dies and twilight casts it's
shadow over all. The hills seem
transfigured in the glory of the
clouds, and with the purple haze upon
the mas benediction, they too fade
as twilight dies into night.
1t is no small thing to be privi-
legged to view such sunsets as these.
We read with enthusiasm of the sun
sets on Puget Sound, on San Fran
cisco Bay, of the glorious afterglow
on the summit of the Alps, and yet
in our own home city the western
skies at sunset offer display unex-
celled by any other.

About a year ago mineral water
development was started as munic-

and five new springs were discovered
by the city and are now owned by it;
one OF lithia, carrying higher lithia
content than any other natural min
eral water in the world, save one;
another of iron, magnesia and soda;
one Of sulphur, 100 degrees ther-
NAL; one of soda and lithia combined
and one of carbon dioxide gas. Be-
sides these sulphur springs, both
cold and thermal, abound within the
city limits. Two of them have been
utilized for years for bathing and
drinking purposes, and well appoint
ed natatoriums, comprising both
swimming pools and hot tub and
shower baths, have been in successful

The Springs Are
Coming, Hurrah!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
(By Elizabeth Yockey.)

(By Elizabeth Yockey.)
You ask, Are the springs coming
into the town."
Well, we should say, they'll brig us
renown.
They're more to this valley than
grain, fruit or meat;
You may search the world over
they're hard to beat.
God put them here when He made
these hills;
eve think He gave them instead Of
pills),
But you can have the pills, if you
want them, too
'Tis hard to tell all the water may
do.
Twill cure rheumatism, dyspepsia,
gout;
Twill drive most all pains and dis
eases out;
For asthma and throat and that sort
of ills,
Or for liver troubles, you will need
no pills.
The kidneys and stomach it cures
complete;
For bathing-well, now, it just can't
be beat
And the climates just right here
so we are told
Summers pleasantly warm, winters
healthfully cold.
We grow best things to eat that are
known, low or high;
And another good thing is, our Ore
CONS dry.
And the scenery-that cuts a figure,
too;
You gaze and gaze and wish others
might too.
You cannot but admire, in both day
light and dark
Nature made of this vale a garden
and park.
There are streams and forests where
game abound,
And sun-kissed mountains we see
around.
'Tis a spot where the elfins and
fairies play
Play summer and winter, by night
and by day.
Just come, though you're distant
many a mile;
Bring your sick friends and neigh
bors, they'll soon wear a smile.
And remember the place, as these
lines you peruse-
'Tis Ashland, the Gem of the Siski-
yous.

necessary to acquire title for the city
to a number of privately owned
tracts adjacent to the park proper.
Among the tracts needed was one
owned by Messrs. G. s. Butler and
d. Perozzi, valued at about $4,000,
which they voluntarily donated to the
city, upon which will be constructed
beautiful mineral water fountain.
This act upon the part of these
two public-spirited citizens resulted
in a land donation from the Califor-
nia-Oregon Power Company of like
amount of ground adjacent to the
park and free power for three pump
ing systems, besides influencing 9TH
er citizens owning land necessary to
the development to offer 1t to the
city at greatly reduced prices. Never,
in the history Of the city, has there
been any advance proposal that has
met with such enthusiastic and unan-
imous support, issues in relation to
1t being submitted to elections by
the people having carried by five to
one.
And the good spirit of Messrs. But
Ter and Perozzi, coming in the early
stage of the development, and from
two of the city's biggest taxpayers,
had much to do with the confidence
inspired in other citizens.
