ranging in price from Is to 90 cents
are being assessed s. in lots Of a
thousand.
Cigarette manufacturers will prob
ably keep their prices the same But
the packages will not contain so many
cigarettes. For instance, in packages
containing 20 cigarettes that now sell
for 10 cents, the manufacturers will
probably put only Is cigarettes in the
package and sell them at the same
price.
Local dealers say that the average
smoker will never notice the differ
ence in the articles put out by the
manufacturers to combat the high cost
OF production. The man who buys
his Decent tin of tobacco will never
notice the small amount missing, and
the man who likes his favorite cigar
will not notice the slight difference
In weight. If he does, he will realize
that he is doing his Bit" say the
dealers.

Red Cross Needs
Every Ashlander

President Wilson says: "a large,
well-organized and efficient Red
Cross is essential. 1t is both a patri-
otic and humane service that is rem
dered by every citizen who becomes
member of the American Red
Cross"
Ex-President Roosevelt says: 81
hope that all the patriotic and hu-
name men, women and children of
the United States who are able to do
so will give it (the Red Cross) their
support by becoming members of our
national organization.
Why Your Country Needs You as a
Member of the Red Cross.
Do you know that as an American
you have the right to become a mem
Der of the Red Cross? That by the
payment of small annual dues, and
little unse,fish service, you can sup
port your government in its humanir
tartan work? Membership imposes
no obligation of personal service
either in time of war or peace. Com
paratively few persons can serve the
Red Cross in the field, but everyone
can serve at home by becoming
member, by getting his friends to
join and by spreading a knowledge
of the work, and by participating in
the work of The local chapter.
Your help is needed now, to sup
port its field and base hospitals, its
doctors and nurses, and to provide
the necessities of military and civil
ian relief.
Your local Red Cross is now max
ing sheets, pillow cases, pajamas,
nightshrts, bandages, etc. 1t is all
simple work, but quantities are need
ed. We really need you. Your join
ing the Red Cross does not obligate
you to anything. If you cannot spare
time to work, show your patriotism
by becoming a member, as your dol
lar will help in purchasing supplies.
Work days are Wednesday and Fri
day afternoons. Come either after
noon or both Glasses are Tuesday
and Friday evenings, but entirely in
dependent from working days.

Gifted Gus Lands
In Portland Jail

"Gifted Gus" Levy, whose brief
and colorful career in Ashland
amused the natives more than any
thing which has happened for
months, landed in a Portland Jail af-
ter a couple of days in the Oregon
metropolis. Levy came here from
San Francisco to take a job tickling
the worries at the Vining theatre, but
divided his time between telling what
good man he was, how much the
giEs loved him and how many Mason
degrees he had successfully sailed
through. Everybody with whom he
came in contact had their life made
a little brighter by the laughter
which his mountain of conceit engen-
dered Finally he offended the Ash
land spirit of some local booster and
lost two front teeth. He demanded
police protection and wanted an Of
ficer detailed to accompany him
wherever he willed to roam over our
fair city. This proving impractical,
he decided that other climes looked
fairer and left for Portland. The
rest of the story may be cleaned from
the following narrative from the
Portland Oregonian:
when Tom Sweenes, city detect
i've, yesterday asked G. H. Levy, peri
patetic musician from San Francisco,
why he did not join the army when
he found no work to do, Levy is said
to have given utterance to this: I'm
too clever to join the army That
was enough. Levy is now in jail
Levy appeared first at police head
quarters the day before yesterday
and asked If there were any Masons
in the station. Motorcycle Morris
gave Levy the price Of a meal. Yes
terday Levy went to the station again
and asked for more Masons. At de-
tective headquarters a number of
Masons declared him to be an impos-
tor"
