Whenever you find an attractive de-
sign for a ce%nterpiece keep it on hand,
even though your supply of center
pieces for the table is more than your
demand. for there are various uses to
which you can apply the newly dis
covered design.
For instance, it might do very nicely
for a dolly pad to be placed under hot
dishes. To maketsuch a pad you will
need a second piece of linen for the
back of the protector. There are sew
eral way to leave an opening so that
a piece of asbestos can be slipped into
the case. One way is to stitch only
one half Of the top and bottom of the
pad together and supply the other
half with snap fasteners.

the year is reported for the final
game of the Medford- Ashland foot

the local high school gymnasium Sat-

sorting out tickets and no tickets

Medford is counting confidently
on winning Friday evenings game

Ashland Will Re- e-0rganize It's
Schools on the Six-and-SiX Plan

After considering the six-and-six
plan of schools for practically a year,
the school board, at a special meet
ing held March s, 1916, decided to
reorganize the city schools on that
basis.
Under this plan six years will be
devoted to strictly grade work, three
years to the work embraced in the
intermediate or junior high school,
and three years to the work of the
senior high school, In the junior
as well as the senior high school de-
partmental teaching will provide
better instruction for the pupils, en-
abling them to save time and ac-
comp ish more by permitting them to
select work along the line best suited
to the special needs of each. Promo
tions will be by subjects, thus the re-
peating OF studies where one has be-
come reasonably proficient will be
saved to the pupil and to the school
management.

Beet Factory at
MedtOrd This Year

Medford Sun: According to tele-
grams received in Medford Friday by
the beet sugar committee of the Com
mercia Club, Medford will have
beet sugar factory in 1916. II the
required acreage is received a second
beet sugar factory will be erected
near Medford in 1917.
This cheering announcement is the
result of quiet but persistent CAM
paign by the beet sugar committee of
the Medford Commercial Club which
has been carried un increasingly since
the breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tions with the Bishop Nibley inter-
ests.
The texts of the kilograms were
not made public, nor has it been an
nounced just what interests are be-
hind the new enterprise, but in the
opinion of the members of the conn
mittee all doubt concerning the erec-
tion of a beet sugar factory at the
Medford end of the valley this year
has been removed.
The telegram promising the con-
structlon of the factory was received
from S. X. Sklirir Of Salt Lake City,
now in New York, and it is believed
that he represents the Havemeyer
interests. According to the telegram,
beet seed for 1000 acres has been
secured, and all that is asked is a
guarantee of 5000 acres. Persons
close to the negotiations declare
bonds assuring this acreage have al
ready been pledged.
The machinery for the factory is
now in San Francisco, according to
report, the site will be between Med
ford and Tolo, and construction work
will start in a very few weeks.
Colonel j. F. Mundy has been influ-
ential in bringing the negotiations to
a successful conclusion, and it is re-
ported the complete transaction in
wolves many developments in addi-
tion to the beet sugar enterprise.
Definite announcements of a far
reaching nature may be expected in
the next few weeks.

Third Policeman
Added to Force

After a half hour of heated argu-
ment, third policeman was added
to the Ashland police force by the
mayor and approved by the council
Tuesday evening.
The force was reduced to two men
the first Of the year as an economical
move. The mayor stated that the
work had proven to be too great for
two men. The patroling of the bust
ness section which is scattered out
over many blocks, the handling Of
the hobo problem which necessitates
the presence of a man at the depot,
quarter of mile from the police
station, when all trains both freight
and passenger arrive, and the patrol
ing of the parks, demand the services
Of another officer and the mayor as
head of the police department init
mated that he would appoint a spe-
cial officer to assist in the work under
his perogative to do so given by the
charter if the council refused to con-
firm his appointment of a regular
man.
Councilmen Banta and Root held
that while a third man might be nee
essary later when the parks needed
more patroling, that action should be
deferred. On a vote Ashcraft, Lamb
and Cornelius stood with the mayor,
Nininger, Root and Banta against.
The mayor having the deciding vote
the matter received immediate atten-
tion. The mayor appointed w. ].
Carpenter and the appointment was
confirmed by the same vote, the
mayor casting the deciding vote con-
firming his own appointment.
Argument between the mayor and
Councilman Banta grew warm at
times. Mr.. Banta stated that he had
received more commentator for his
work in reducing the police force than
for any act since he had been on the
council. The mayor remarked that
a certain element would praise him
II he had the force cut down to none
at all. Mr. Banta was considerably
aroused by this and stated that it was
influential, respectable citizens who
had praised him.
While shady reflections were cast
on past police forces by both sides
the present force was conceded to be
composed of conscientious men who
have been putting in a good deal over
twelve hours a day of hard work
since the force was reduced.

For Autos Flight

A "souless" corporation got a fav-

son county men in the circuit court
at the county seat Monday Robert
Ha'ley instituted proceedings against
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany to recover the price of an almost
new Dodge car, which got stuck on
the track at the VOORHEES, crossing
last fall and was gently lifted into
an adjoining field by fast freight.
Miss Gladys Wilson was driving the
car the engine went dead at the
crossing, and the fair driver was I'M
able to get it off the rails before the
freight struck it.
The plaintiff contended that the in
difference of the train crew resulted
in the machines skyward flight and
subsequent scattering over the land
scape. The railroad showed that it
was not possible to stop the train in
time to prevent collision and the
jury arrived at the conclusion that
the railroad was right.

held in both the east and west side
buildings. The intermediate or jun
ior high school will, for the present
be held in the west side building and
the senior high school will continue
in the new high school building.
No pupils will be withdrawn from
the present high school building but
the ninth year pupils for September,
1916, will continue to attend the jun
ior high school at the west side build
ing.
The courses in vocational work will
be greatly strengthened during the
seventh, eighth, and ninth years of
the school work. In this trial period
the pupil will find himself so that
upon entrance to the senior high
school he may at once pursue the line
of work which he has decided to make
his life occupation.
Fortunately, the west side building
lends itself to the new plan without
any modification as it was originally
built for the accommodation of the
city high school.
