The question has been asked,
What is the City Federation of
Clubs?" 1t is the organized forces of
five ladies' clubs of Ashland for the
purpose of meeting four times a year
to become better acquainted and that
we may cooperate and assist each
other in our different lines OF work.
The Chautauqua is the oldest srgan-
ization and the work is taking care
of the Chautauqua grounds. The
Sunshine was the second to form a
working force. It's mission is to- do
whatever will bring JOY and happi-
ness into the life of citizen. The
Civic Improvement Club works along
the lines of beautifying the city, san
itation, cooperating with the Com
mercial Club in its work, and in fact
any line of work that does not come
under the other four clubs The
West Side Parent-Teacher and the
East Side Parent-Teacher circles are
uniting their efforts with the school
faculty in bringing into the child's
life all the best conditions possible,
called child welfare work. All of
these societies have open doors and
anyone is eligible to belong. DO not
wait for an invitation. You will be
welcomed at the home centers of each
and all.
This year will be one of history
making of Ashland and we need the
help and cooperation of every wom-
an to make this city what it should
be as tourist town.
We cannot emphasize too strong
the year 1915 is Ashland's opportun-
ity and everyone should interest
themselves in cooperating for the
public good.
Everyone is cordially welcomed to
this meeting. Grants Pass has had a
meeting of $50 ladies and Medford
large meetings. May Ashland reach
the 200 mark.

court was engaged in the case of
Schoenover VS.. Sivers, the case being
tried before jury. Sivers is an old
resident near the Evans creek coun-
try above WoodvilIe Both are aged
men and members of the G. A. r.
Siyers was living alone on his ranch
in 1906. Schoenover came from the
soldiers home in California, and
Sivers invited him to stop with him,
which he did, and remained there
till August of last year, doing chores
about the place and helping with the
cooking. In August Sivers sold his
place and thus Schoenover was
obliged to seek another home.
Schoenover brought action against
Sivers to recover $50 a month. for
the six years he had been with him,
and also for various other sums he
had let Sivers have from time to
time.

Another Good Time at Trinity Church
Parish House.


The ladies of Trinity Protestant
Episcopal church enjoy a distin-
guished reputation for two things,
the furnishing and serving, periodi-
cally, of capital suppers, be they
chicken or otherwise, and the pro-
noting of a vast amount of sociabil-
ity by means, always lawful where
by the guests solemnly declare before
leaving the coy, homelike and taste
fully furnished parish house that
| health, wealth and fair weather per-
mitting, it will not, by any manner
of means, be their last visitation to
an hostelry Gf the term may in this
case be legitimately applied) that
stands for so much in promoting good
will and innocent recreation among
the denizens of Ashland the Beau
tiful. The efforts of the various
committees in making the supper
crowded with good things-were
crowned with the most complete sue
cess, Notwithstanding that, at the
eleventh hour, it was found that the
slaughter of chicken had failed to
meet the demand and ''piggie," natur-
ally, had to step in and relieve the
situation, without for one moment
disconcerting single partaker of the
good things provided.
| Supper commenced on Tuesday
evening at o'clock and was con-
| tinued until 8, after which time the
social features of the gathering as
serted their sway. Under the leader
and pianoship of Miss Swigart a
diversified program of music-songs
| by Mrs. Franklyn Conway, whistlings
| by Mrs. Foster and Mr.. Graham,
piano duo by Miss Swigart and Mrs.
Boslough, and Mr.. w. w. USHER
with piano impromptus that never
fail to delight his listeners-was dis
cussed with success that gave in
| finite satisfaction. Mrs. w. Pickens
was the generalissimo of the kitchen
and other brigades, ably assisted by
Mrs, Whitney, president of the
guild, Mrs. Hamaker, Mrs. Hedberg,
Mrs. USHER, Mrs. McWilliams, Mrs.
Wagner, Miss E. Greer (coffee max
err, Mrs. Summers and Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark Bush (wafflers extraordi-
naire), with the office of potato pam
cake maker ably filled by the afore-
said Mrs. McWilliams.
The digital and decorative skill of
Miss Winifred Watson and Mrs. H. G.
Gilmore was exercised with success
on this occasion that transformed the
parish house into literally thing of
beauty and long remembrance.
Mrs. Hill, treasurer of the guild,
was, as usual, stationed at the main
entrance and gathered in the shek-
els with taht adroit satisfaction that
follows in the wake of much skillful
handling of money bags. Miss Tav-
erner was also 'at home" in the
candy department and sold and said
many sweet things during the even
ing.
