Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die,
Gallant six hundred.

So the good soldier of Jesus Christ
will obey orders. Enlistment means
entire surrender, and henceforth the
great question of life is, Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do?" Nor will he
argue the question of duty, but invari-
ably give his master the benefit Of the
doubt. 1t is to be feared that some
disciples have not reached this point.
~. A Good Soldier Will Endure
Hardshp.-He expects it. Sleepless
nights and weary days, forced marches
and scanty fare, probable sickness and
possible death-these are what he
looks forward to; but If these are the
price Of liberty he is willing to pay it.
When Garibaldi was going out to bat
tie he told his troops what he wanted
them to do. They said:
General. what are you going to give
us for all this?'
Il don't know what else you will
get; but you are sure to get hunger
and cold and wounds and death. How
do you like it?"
His men stood for moment in ST.
lence then they cried, I'VE are the
men, we are the men" That is the
spirit of the true soldier, and how
common it Is, thank God.
When the first Napoleon was in his
glory, he had what he called his Old
Guard, body of tried veterans, picked
men from the whole army. He always
held them in reserve; but when dan
ger was imminent he would ride along
the line and say, Soldiers of the Old
Guard, the liberties Of France are in
your hands. You have never failed her
yet and know you will not now. Sol
diers Of the Old Guard, forward
march," Instantly from the whole
battalion would come the cry, "Vive
Napoleon! Vive la France," and with
one wild hurrah they would follow him
into the thickest Of the fight to the
lannon's mouth, anywhere, and always
to victory-always but once.
Soldiers Of Jesus Christ. your mas
ter needs an Old Guard in every
church, little company of tried men
and women upon whom he can always
rely, workers who will not shirk nor
complain, who are willing to do their
own share, and more. too, If necessary.
Who will Join the Old Guard?

Christians; but, above all, there dwells
his lord and master, whose constant
prayer is, Father, | will that they also
whom thou hast given me be with me
where l am, that they may behold my
glory"
Nor does the good soldier stop to
inquire whether all the members are
congenial or faithful If every men,
Der but himself were unfaithful, it
would still be his duty and privilege
10 join the church because Christ is
there.
Should a soldier refuse to put on
the uniform his sincerity would be
questioned. The follower of Jesus
Christ who refuses to join the church
is justly liable to the same suspicion.
Moreover he damages the very cause
which he desires to help, for an out
slider who ought to be in the church
brings as much reproach upon the
cause as an insider who ought to be
out.
II. A Good Soldier viii Not Entan-
gle Himself With Outside Matters
What would you think of soldier who
should report for duty bringing with
him a dog and fishing rod and BIZ
cycle? He would doubtless be toli
that while these things were well
enough in their place, he was expected
to fight and not to amuse himself
1t is said that a soldier who enlisted
in the Civil war took along his kit of
watchmakers tool and while they
were in camp he did considerable bust
ness. But one day when the order
came to strike tents and prepare for
battle, he looked around his tent in
dismay and exclaimed, why, | can't
possibly go, for | have twelve watches
to repair which | have promised by
Saturday night"
That man had forgotten what he en-
listed for. In like manner there are
Christians who entangle themselves
with worldly companions and question
able anusements to such an extent as
to greatly hinder their usefulness and
influence.
III. A Good Soldier Obeys Orders.-
He simply goes where he is sent and
does what he is told to do. Seldom
does he know the full intent of even
his own movements. Like the brave
band which Tennyson has made i'm

A New Bishop
For Oregon

The general conference of the
Methodist church, now in session at
Saratoga, N. Y, has elected seven
new bishops. Among them is Dr.
Matt S. Hughes of Pasadena, known
as one of the most eloquent preach
ers in America.
1t is certainly good to know that
he will soon become the resident
bishop of the northwest, with head
quarters at Portland.
Bishop Hughes is we'll known TO
many of our citizens, having been
one of our Chautauqua attractions IN
1909 and again in 1913.
He is the third man, in recent
years, taken from the Southern Ore
gon Chautauqua's talent to become
bishop in the Methodist church.
He will receive warm welcome
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

Medf0rd Votes
Railroad Bonds

Medford voted five to one Tuesday
in favor of amending the city char.

$500, 900 bonds for the construction
of a railroad to the Blue Ledge mine
In spite of the unfavorable wealth,
er large vote was polled, the result
being 1881 for and 295 against the
issue.
When informed of the vote, S. s.
Bulls, owner of the traction COM
pany, which proposes to build the
road said he would now offer con
tract to the city which he believed
would be accepted by as large a ma
jority.
A second election will be held in
the near future, when the people will
vote upon the contract, and If that
passes construction will be started as
soon as the bonds are marketed.

1.-THE Bungalow"
Opens June First

Meet me at The Bungalow" will
soon become frequently heard eX-
preston in Ashland. Almost like
magic "The Bungalow" as the lunch
and refreshment pavilion opposite
Lithia Park has been named, is TAX
ing shape, and according to Walter
Keene, who will manage the pavilion,
the opening will occur about June l..
The building is of rustic bunga-
low effect with overhanging caves,
1t is finished in a rich brown, the in
terror being left with the rough
beams, which heightens the rustic eff
feet. Lights are everywhere, thirty
six decorative lights adorning the ex-
terror.
A c!rcling driveway will enter the
property at the point where Park
avenue curves, will circle back to the
overhanging hill and back into the
public drive close to the building,
which is set against the row of huge
evergreens on the west side of the
lot. Plenty of parking space for cars
will be available along this drive.
All kinds Of confections and novel
ties will be handled and a speciality
made of lunches. Alec Hall, one of the
best known and most capable cooks of
this vicinity, has been engaged to
take charge of the kitchen, and his
steaks and dinners are sure to build
up a good4sized clientele.
Music all the time will be one of
the aims Of the management and
special entertainment attractions will
be added on big days. The building
is large enough to accommodate
good-sized crowd, and a force of
young men and women is being en-
gagged who will assure patrons of The
Bungalow of the best of service. The
management intends to cater espec-
tally to small dinner parties and au-
tomobile parties. A telephone will
be installed for the accommodation
of the public and The Bungalow
promises to become a popular place
for gatherings of all kinds.

Important Meet
OF FruitgroweHS

The big new fruit-marketing plan
worked out by federal experts and
already largely adopted by the lead
ing fruit districts of Washington and
Idaho will be explained and discussed
May 20 at the Commercial Club at 2
p. m. The Ashland Fruit and Produce
Association and the Commercial Club
unite in urging everyone to be out
and assist in deciding what this dis
trict is going to do.
! Our national government recog-
nizes the fruit marketing situation in
the Pacific northwest to be one OF
the most serious problems confront
Ing agriculture in the United States.
In 1915 at the hearing of the Federal
Trade Commission in the northwest,
more pressure was brought to bear to
secure direct assistance in perfecting
organization among fruit growers
than for help in any other line of IN.
dustry. The result was that three Of
the best experts of the Federal Office
of Markets have spent three months
in devising a plan which will appar-
emily greatly relieve the marketing
situation if large majority of the
tonnage can be controlled by one Or
ganization.
The Federal Office of Markets
strongly urges that each separate dis
trict in the northwest become thor.
oughly acquainted with the plan and
actually organized and drilled in the
fundamentals of marketing, including
physical handling, Standardization
and organization. The campaign out
lined by the federal authorities calls
for a threefold plan; First, an ex-
planation of the clearing house plan
for marketing the crop; second, local
problems of organization; third,
physical handling. 1t is necessary
that the business men of a commun-
ity as well as the growers and ship
pers become thoroughly familiar with
the details of this plan. The meeting
on Monday will be addressed by rep
resentatives of the Federal Office Of
Markets and the Oregon Agricultural
College.
The plan will be presented to the
fruit growers in order that they may
determine what this district will do.
If II is decided at this meeting to ac-
cept the plan, steps will be immedi-
ately taken to bring about the neces-
sary organization and adjustments.
Committees will be appointed and col
lege or federal representatives will
assist in perfecting final arrange
ments. Fruit growers, bankers and
business men generally throughout
the state recognize the great impor-
tance of this matter and are aiding
in financing the campaign which the
College Extension Service is now car
rying on.

Two Band Concerts
Weekly Promised

The Ashland band will give two
concerts week, beginning Sunday,
and continuing throughout the sum-
mer season. One on Wednesday OF
each week and one Sunday after
noon. The first concert of the series
will be given in the Lithia Park band
stand at o'clock Sunday, weather
permitting.
Through the efforts of several mu-
sic lovers, headed by G. S. Butler
and Hum Pracht, an amount has been
subscribed by the business men of
the city and augmented from organ
izations and other sources which
makes it possible for the band to
guarantee two concerts weekly.
