The Rest Room Again.

While Ashland is endeavoring to
lead her sister cities in progress, it
might be wise for her to look about
and see what those other cities are
accomplishing. We here are ahead
with our auto park, but we are way
behind when it comes to rest room,
which is badly needed and not an ex-
pensive luxury.
Eugene has had an rest room for
years. The writer was there'when it
was built. The ladies did it. That
is, provided the money. The city gave
| them permission to build a rest room
in the city park, so they went to
work. Instead of beautifying the va
cant lots owned by the S. p, the
Civic Improvement Club raised
money to buy lumber with which to
build a resting place for themselves
and outside sisters. All the money
making devices known to women
were brought into play and the
money was secured. A building con-
tanning q good-sized resting room,
small kitchen and pantry, and anoth-
er room containing lavatory and
toilet were on the first floor; second
floor contained one sleeping room
and a sitting room for the caretaker
The building had porches on all four
sides, with seats, and they were al
ways occupied in summer. As soon
as the building was up the band gave
their weekly concerts in the park
near the building and the ladies dis
pensed ice cream to the assembled
crowds, using the kitchen for their
workshop and the porches for serv-
ing room.
The ladies looked after supplying
a caretaker on these terms. For
keeping the resting room tidy, look
ing after and keeping the other (
room clean, the caretaker was al
oweu 70 I've in the building, and
iad fuel and lights free. The work ,
being light, it was not difficult to
ind a man and wife who were glad '
o occupy the coy bungalow, the
Noman looking after the rooms dur
ng the daytime and the man persu- |
ng his regular work, There was |
lever anyone there in the evenings i
Except on band night, then the ladies
lad use of the kitchen sink. c
That was several years ago. They l
nay have different arrangement 6
low. 1t was certainly a success then. S
There is one objection to the room a
n the city hall. 1t has no Surround :
ng ground and is but one room,
therefore could not in any way be {
made even partly self-supporting, If ;
A small place could be built in the {
park, either near the bridge at Mill ,
street or across Mill street, on the
newly acquired land, or even if the
old barnlike building that graces the {
slope by the pond in the park could
be removed and replaced with mod
ern building that could be used as
resting place, the public would be
accommodated and the appearance Of
the park improved. If the men can't
do it, turn the task over to the ladies'. {

Campmeeting Closed.
The Inter-Mountain Conference of
Seventh Day Adventist which embraces
that portion Of Colorado west of the
Continental Divide and all Of the state
of Utah with San Juan county in New
Mexico, whose headquarters is located
at Grand Junction, Colorado, selected
Dolores as q central location for a
campmeeting for their constituency in
this part of the territory. Members
Of the denomination were in attendance
from three states. Meetings were
held daily in "the pavilion, pirched for
the purpose in the city park. .@

Statistics presented during the meet

proximately $1,000 children. youth.
and young people in their Bible schools,
many of whom are receiving special
training for service in their world wide
missionary work, and that even under
the adverse conditions of the war In
Europe, their work had made splendid
advancement, large gain in converts
being reported by the president of the
European Division.
The Camp-meeting proper closed
Monday night, at which time the
speaker. Elder G. w. Reaser, stated
that. certain Bible prophecies gave
positive assurance that great pente-
cost was almost due to give added
power for the finishing of the procla-
nation of the everlasting gospel, pre-
paratory to the second advent of the
Savior. He also stated that a sign
among nations which would give great
impetus to the gospel would be, the
removal of the seat of the Turkish
Empire from Constantinople to some
point in Asia, for it was a matter of

i. RS EMPHATIC
PROTEST AGAINST
BELGIAN SLAVERY

New York, Dec. ia letter from
tonight at the meeting to protest
against the Belgian deportations. He
declared that Germany has trampled
under foot every device Of interna-
tional law for securing the protection
of the weak and the unoffending," and
has shown an utter disregard Of all
considerations Of pity, mercy. human
ity and International morality"
II earnestly wish you all success in
your meeting" the Colonel wrote, "and
all Americans who are proud of the
have them in the capacity for gener-
Gus indignation on behalf of foully
wronged people, must join in hearty
thanks to you and your associates.
"Germany's campaign of methodi-
cally organized atrocities against the
unhappy Belgian people has culmi-
mated in the transplanting Of over a
hundred thousand Belgian men into a
condition Of state slavery in Germany
where their labor is to be used to aid
in the conquest Of their fellow coun-
trymen. Similar transplanting Of
civilian non -combatants, both mon
and women, into slavery in Germany,
have already occurred in northern
France.
This action is parallelled by the ac-
ton Of the Assyrian conquerors Of
Syria and PALESTINE; but until the
present war broke out it was sup
posed that such hideous infamies were
effectively checked by the system Of
international law which has grown up
under modern Christian civilization.
1.-THE outrages committed on our
own people have been such as the
United States has never before been
forced to endure, and have included the
repeated killing of our men, women and
children. The sinking Of the Marina
and the Chemung the other day, with
the attendant murder of six Ameri-
unbroken chain Of injuries and insults,
which by comparison make mere
wrong to our property interests sink
into absolute insignif1cance.
"As long as neutrals keep silent, or
speak alphabetically, or take refuge in
the utilities Of the professional paci-
ficists, there will be no cessation in
these brutalities. But surely this last
and GROWING brutality, which
amounts to the imposition Of cruel
form of state-slavery on helpless
and unoffending conquered nation.
must make our people realize that
they peril their own souls. that they
degrade their own manhood, II they
do not bear emphatic testimony
against the preparation Of such in
iquity.
II am glad to be one among the
Americans who thus bear testimony"

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Dec. 15.-The stock market
underwent it's third and most severe test
of the week today, further serious inroads
being made upon prices during the first
half Of the session on another enormous
selling wave. This condition was m
terially rectified the later dealing, par
ticularly in the final hour. a brisk rally,
occasioned in part by hurried short COW
ering. wiping out many losses and SUBJ
shutting some notable gains.
The uncertain status of the domestic
situation In it's relation to the Teutonic
peace overtures was again made the
weapon with which to depress prices in
the forenoon. In we'll informed quarters,
however, this was regarded as secondary
in Importance to the congested and over
extended bull position denoted in the
dealings of the preceding week.
War shares and affiliated issues were
again the center of attack while the liqui-
dalton was at its height, with extreme
losses of to 10 points in leading NUM-
tions. equipments. metals, papers, Central
Leather, Distillers Securities and Indus
trial Alcohol. while Bethlehem Steel was
conspicuous for its gross decline Of 47A
points to SIS. United States Steel bore
the brunt of the early pressure in the ex-
tent of its offerings at an extreme con-
cession of Al to 1898. Steers contribution
Of the days transactions was 100000
shares. or about 25 per cent. of the total
Of 100000 shares.
Except for moderate recessions in some
of the grangers, rails offered stout re-
sistance to the early weakness, advanc-
ing one to three points with steady de-
mand for minor shares, particularly
Southern Railway common and preferred,
Rock Island, the Pacifics and coalers. The
somewhat conflicting government crop re-
port seemed to exercise little influence
despite the break in grains
Little heed was paid to the further
hardening of exchange rates on Berlin
and Vienna, the increased Northern Sc
curities dividend or the prospects of an
other expansion of local money holdings.

with a heavy tone. Total sales, par value,
aggregated $S,160.00O.
