to Sweet, CGusy & Foster, of Den
yer.
The syndicate are now rid of all
responsibility, all of the issue having
been disposed of and the cash, par
and interest, being deposited with
Treasurer Eubanks. The members of
the syndicate filled very necessary,
useful and trying position in the
transaction. The council Friday re-
turned to it the $3,50O check which
was deposited when the syndicate
took over the issue.
Now the work will go at once for
ward, both on the physical plant and
the park development, and it is hoped
to have the project completed early
in July.

Hints for Lawn
Identification

Hints for the Identification OF the
many western Oregon lawns that will
be made up for the first time, or
worked over anew, during the spring
of 1915, are given as follows by H.
NJ. Fisher, the grounds srperintend-
ent who has produced at the Univers-
ity OF Oregon campus that is the
admiration Of all visitors:
I'm all cases shrubbery for the
lawn should be picked according to
the size of the dwelling, not in a hap
hazard way. For a fair-sized lawn
and a mediuro-sized house the rhodo-
dendron bush is the prettiest | can
think Of. II is not only pretty bush
but blooms for lonG interval with
very pretty flowers. The lilac bush
is not good shrub, as some seem to
think, 1t sprouts and spoils the lawn
and does not bloom through a suffi-
ciently long period.
II NhC lOtoS 10 vi lllC VI OlhCl
appropriate material, the Boston ivy,
creeper, is vine that heirs greatly
in beautifyin5 the dwelling.
"Should rose hedges be planted, the
roses should be cut back each winter
after the blooming season to prevent
the rose-freI2 becoming bushy. The
cut-baolI rose becomes stockier an6
better blooms result.
Rose hedges are always suitable
for dwellings or lawns OF any size Il
they are on the sides, and a rose
hedge in front looks well if the lawI
is long and sweeping. The Carolin,
Testout, the official rose OF Portland
is fair hedge rose If the lawn il
large enough for an arbor or bower
/ advise the Dorothy Perkins rose; 1
serves a doutle purpose, being a beau
tiful vine as well as having a beauti
full bloom"
Superintendent Fishers lawn grass
rose hedges and shrubbery on tn
state university campus are consid
cred among the finest in the north
west.

To Preserve Wild
Flowers in Park

Councilman Ware brought a mat
ter to the attention of the council at
last Fridays meeting which has been
a source of worry to nature lovers OF
Ashland for some time. Mr.. Ware
stated that many persons were
thoughtlessly but ruthlessly breaking
large branches of blossoms from trees
and bushes in the upper park. He
also said that many people were TAX
ing the wild flowers and that one per-
son at least was making a business Of
digging up lily bulbs and selling
them.
Ashland's park would not long re-
main the beautiful park that it is If
people continued to carry away the
flowers and blossoms. 1t is not the
single little bunch of flowers that
matters, but the aggregate whole.
The matter was referred to the
ordinance committee, who will frame
an ordinance to prohibit the picking
of flowers or the breaking off of bios
SONS in the canyon park.
While this may seem harsh to many
who have been in the habit of MAX
ing flower picking expeditions into
the canyon, still all may easily see
that it is the only possible method of
preserving the beauties of the park
for the casual visitor. There are
many other places where flowers may
be picked besides the much frequent
ed canyon.

Undertaken Stock was called to

Ranger Andy Poole. 1t was rumored
that Poole had been shot and it was
feared that regular old-time Ken

learned today, however, that Poole
died from a paralytic stroke. He was
an important witness in the recent
Martin case.

Friday Meeting
Of City Council

The council met in adjourned ses-
sion at 4:30 last Friday afternoon.
This was the last of series of ad-
journed meetings which have been
continued since the first of last
month.
All members except Councilman
Werth were present. Chief Porter
was absent from his usual post by the
door, the council having decided to
dispense with police protection for
this occasion
Messrs. Phipps, Neil, Jordan and
Beebe of the original bond syndicate
were present. City Attorney Moore
was also in the house.
A communication from the Ashland
Trading Company was read request
ing permission to install drain from
the vestibule of their store to the
gutter. The matter was referred to
the sanitary committe with power to
act.
The recorder reported that while
in Jacksonville Thursday he had as
certained the amount of taxes due the
city to be $4,275. Official notice of
this and the transfer to the city will
come in few days. Mr.. Gillette also
reported receiving the bill for the
carload of pipe ordered by the city.
The pipe weighs $4,000 pounds and
costs in the neighborhood of $1,000.
In view of the fact that the bonds
were all sold and the money in the
local banks, the council released the
$4,000 check put up by R. P. Neil,
representing the bond syndicate,
which was put in local bank when
the syndicate took over the bond is
sue.
Mayor Johnson brought up the
matter of the unsightly awnings
which are constant source of danger
to bypassers in front of many Ash
land store buildings. The matter was
referred to the proper committee, who
will look up an ordinance covering
such nuisances.
Councilman Ware suggested that
some action should be taken in re-
gard to the poison oak which is evil
dent along many Ashland streets and
in the park. This was referred to the
ordinance committee, as was also the
framing of an ordinance to cover the
depredations upon the flowers, shrubs
and bulbs in the upper park and can
yon.
The council accorded Mayor John
son permission to publish proclama-
tion in regard to proper observation
of Friday, April 8, which is the ami
versary of the surrender of the
armies of the south to those of the
north in the Civil War
The council then adjourned. The
next meeting will be the regular
meeting for the first Tuesday in
April, tomorrow evening. This meet
ing promises to be an important one
as several matters which have been
the subject of discussion in executive
meetings will be brought up for final
settlement. The reading of the min
utes alone will be lengthy PROPOSE
tion as the council has held several
adjourned and executive sessions
since the last regular session.

KILL HESSIAN FLY
BY EARLY FLOWING
Fifty Million Bushels of Good
Wheat Fed to Pest Every Year
How to Destroy 1t.

We feed 5O,O00,000 bushels of good
wheat to the hessian fly every year, to
say nothing of what 1t costs US to feed
our chinch bugs and other pests, and
have only ourselves to blame. There
is only one subject in which all farm
ers agree, and that is, high taxes.
They want pay for sheep killed by the
neighbor's dogs. Why not ask pay for
the wheat killed by the neighbor's hes
sian flies?
Cut the wheat high, above the Sec
ond joint. Remove the grain from the
field and stack it somewhere else. The
fly is now in the resting stage and the
safest way and only sure plan is for
every farmer to plow every acre deep
ly and thoroughly within two weeks
after harvest, turning"under the stub
BILE completely. This will fix Mr.. Fly.
Team work is necessary. Teach the
schoolchildren to look for the fly, and
report it at every stage. Appoint a
captain in every school district, who
should be the best wheat grower in
the neighborhood.
This early complete plowing will not
only reduce the fly, but will be q
great benefit to next years crop. 1t
does not let the field dry out after
harvest, and gets it ready to hold all
of the moisture which is so badly need
ed in most sections. 1t is stated that
other things being equal, three acres
plowed in July are worth five acres
plowed in September.

The strawberry plant should be kept

True, bud-pTotecting processes are
going forward down in the heart

necessary that leaf formation should
go forward at the same time, at least
until the season is well advanced
About the time frosty weather ap-

that a proper condition of tilth be
maintained in the soil, and this can
be done only by preserving a certain
degree of mellowness in the surface

This loose surface soil prevents ex-

of air among soil grains. both OF

OHIO OBANKCLOSES,
CASHIER MISSING
Dresden Institutions Affairs Are Now in
Hands Of National Examiner.
DEPOsITORs WON'T LOSE, SAYS OFFICIAL
Bank Cashier Has Been Careful and
Conservative All His Life and
Has No Bad Habits, Accord

western Newspaper Union News ssrvicS.
GAINESVILLE. - The Dresden, Ohio,
National bank is closed, and John
Hornung, its cashier, who left home
Monday afternoon, has not been heard
from since. Bank officials, his wife
and the sheriff's office, all Of whom
have been seeking him, have no clew
to his whereabouts.
H. c. Blackman, a national bank
examiner, whose home is in Michigan,
took charge of the banks affairs and
posted a sign on the bank door read
ing, This bank is closed until this af-
fair can be investigated"
Blackman said that it would take
three or four days to finish the examI'
nation o3 the banks accounts.
All of the stockholders of the bank
are wealthy and could easily stand an
assessment of 100 per cent If such a
course should be necessary.
President w. C. COPELAND of the bank
stated that the banks depositors
would not lose anything.
Hornung has been a leader in Dres-
den's business circle 10 years, has
been a churchgoer, and his Dresden
associates believe the bank may be
short of funds temporarily and that
Hornung has gone to some friends in
another city to see if he can raise the
cash to tide over affairs
Mrs. Hornung, wife of the cashier,
says she believes her husband must be
temporarily demented He left the
house hurriedly Monday afternoon,
saying he had to meet friend at the
station, and that is the last she heard
of him.
Hornung has been careful and con-
servative all his life and has no bad
habits, according to his friends.
1t was reported he left GAINESVILLE on
an interurban car after coming here
on the Pennsylvania from Dresden.
This story was not borne out by the
traction conductor, who did not re-
member a man of his description on
the car.
Hornung and his wife are on the
county tax duplicate for $4,000 and
their property is unencumbered
which adds to the mystery of the dis
appearance of the cashier.
The First National bank of this city
closed it's accounts with the Dresden
bank week ago. 1t is believed that
paper Hornung had given to cover ar
account with a Pittsburgh firm was
not up to standard.
The American Trust & Savings Co
brought suit against Hornung Tuesday
asking judgment for $4,000 alleged t.
be due on a personal note.
The Dresdent banks Statement
shows shrinkage of $4,000 in de
posits from May to June 20, caused
it is said, by depositors drawing
money to buy automobiles. Friends
attribute the cashiers disappearance
to a nervousness over the fact thai
he had been unable to build up de

cence, and nutritious and appetizing
food must be so served that the sight
Of 1t will create a desire to eat. The
arrangement of a tray and the re-
moval of the same as soon as the
meal is taken is most important.
A small amount of food well ar
ranged will often appeal to the appe-
tite when a tray carelessly set and
overloaded would be refused.
The home nurse should dress in a
fresh, clean, washable dress, keeping
as cheerful and good to look at as it
is possible to be. Talk about cheerful
things, don't discuss illness of others
or allow the patient to talk OF his
symptoms too much. A cheerful, hope
full attitude of mind is most essential
to recovery. The nurse who allows
her patient to think he will not get
well may as well get ready to make
the funeral arrangements. Many nerv-
GUS people die because they think it
is expected of them.
If there was only one word to be
used in describing a sickroom let it
be one of cleanliness. Everything
about the patient, the room and the
nurse should be spotless.
Frequent bathing for cleanliness is
necessary, as the pores of the skin
have their important office to perform
in the elimination Of waste. When
the patient has fever, frequent bath
ing keeps down the temperature. Rub
bing with the hand wet with good
alcohol is most refreshing after a
cleansing bath. 1t cools the skin and
rests the patient
A rubber sheet or an oilcloth may
be placed under the patient before
bathing so that the bedding need not
be dampened. Often the rubbing Of
the patient with bathtowel, when
the bath seems too fatiguing, will be
found most helpful.
