strong word of warning. She says:
"There is nothing in the fact of being
children which need cut off our sons
and daughters from a great deal of ac.
curate information and considerable
practical experience with the ms and
outs OF wise money spending. But
there is a great deal in the fact Of their
being Americans which will shut them
off from such information and expert
ence unless parents make very deter
mined effort to see that they get the
proper training, for the whole spirit of
our country and age is against us in
the effort"

Heard and Overheard
(By Lynn D. Mowat.)
About Being Late

Being late has its many advan.
tages as we'll as vice versa. We are
generally late at everything. We
imagine when we die the papers will
speak of "the Late Lynn Mowat."
But as we said before being late
has its advantages, before you are
dead as we'll as after.
For instance: We have saved al.
most $1S.65 in the last year by be
ing late in getting to Jean Hasting'
barber shop and having to shave our
self; we nave saved $21.70 (admit-
ting that we would have done with
out pie once) by putting off going
to lunch until 1t was supper time
on numerous occasions; we have saw
ed ourselves an amount OF uncomfort-
ableness not easily estimated in fig
ures by being late at banquets and
missing speeches.; so far whenever
we have been late in getting to the
station the train has beer late, thus
saving US many valuable hours wait
ing; we expect to be late at our own
wedding (if we ever have one) thus
enjoying single blessedness for a
longer time; we would be late in
getting to 1st company drills except
for the fact that we have kidded
ourself into believing they start at
1880 instead of o'clock. At that
we have had several close shaves
and if somebody had not stuffed
Meridith Beavers bugle full of paper
one night, causing last call to be
five minutes behind time, we would
have been courtmartialled or some
thing; the only way be ever get to
work on time is by sitting up all
night and then the boss-contrary to
his usual cuStom-stays home until
noon and never knows about it. So,
what's the use?
When we have croaKed and met our
fate
Saint Peter at the Golden Gate,
Will have to have to stick around
quite late
To let us in where angels wait.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY

In an age charged with being sell
fish, sordid and commercial there
has grown up and developed the
greatest organization for unselfish
service the world has ever seen-the
American Red Cross. The growth Of
the Red Cross Society is evidence
not to be controverted that the spirit
Of service is strong in the hearts of
the people Of today. The work Of
the society demonstrates that there
are thousands who are willing to de-
vote their services to humanity, and
the support given them by voluntary
contributions shows that there are
hundreds of thousands mere who are
willing to devote q portion of their
means to the alleviation of suffer
ing.
The activities Of the Red Cross al
ways have been generously supported
by the American public, but only since
"our own" soldiers began to take
a place in the trenches alongside
our allies has this support become
bountiful. It is the suffering and
comfort Of the men from "our own
neighborhoods" as we'll as the physi-
val needs of our allies for which
the Red Cross must now mobilize.
The rasult-a greater and more i'm
perative duty now confronts the Civ
ers in America.
No appeal to the generosity of the
American people has ever been un-
answered. Let one part Of the world
be visited by some calamity like the
Mount Pelee and Italian earthquake,
China floods, the Johnstown flood,
the San Francisco earthquake, or any
greater or Lesser calamity. and the
response from the nation is immedi-
ate and generous to a degree. The
services Of the American Red Cross
Society to both sides in the Boer
war aad in other wars was liberal
and sacrificing. Fresher in our minds
IS the work the American unit has
been doing in Europe in the last
three years, especially the relief given
the Belgian population.
To meet this new and greatly en-
larged demand-this demand that has
the added force Of patriotism and a
duty we owe our own soldiers--there
has been a campaign to raise $780,
100000 for the Red Cross work. The
campaign has been conducted with
q niger and ezrnestness that insured
success. II was participated in by
all classes Of Americans from the
president OF the nation down to the
rnzilest boy zeout. aud the women
Of the nation we're particularly ac-
tire.

DIFFERENCE TO OUR NEIGHBORs

There should be a cordial inter-
change Of pleasantries between the
communities Of Rogue river valley.
The spirit that would form attractions
on same dates simply to offset the
possible success Of attractions in 9TH
er communities should be taboo. For
example, tho Ashland and Medford
band concert dates should not con-
flict. Both have music par excel
lence and 1t would he a great pleasure
to Ashland to drive down the valley
and enjoy the concerts at Medford,
and 1t should he the pleasure of Med
ford citizens to come to Ashland on
concert dates to enjoy our hospital
ity II should be borne in mind al
ways that physical environment is
such in this valley that unwarranted
rivalry destroys. Cordial co-opera-
tion viii put the whole valley forward
as nothing else can do.

are the chief cities, Each has it dis

each can well afford to boost the

tions Let's have an agreeable ar
rangement with Medford and Grants

ity cooperation be the watchword

Peter Hoffman declared today
that If Baby Paul Hodzima dies,
as a result of the "euthnasia" prac-
ticed by DR.. Harry Haiselden, he
will prosecute the physician-un-
less the latter can prove the
legality of his action.
'Dr. Haiselden is exceeding his
authority in pronouncing death
sentence on this child, even IL the
parents did concur" said Hoff-
man.
Haiselden, who became famous
thru the "BaAy Bollinger case."
when he refused to perform an
operation that would have saved
the little detectives life, reiterated
today that in providing "God-given
drugs" that will eventually result
in Baby Hodzima's death, he is
merely trying to alleviate and
prevent some of the suffering of
the world"
1.-THE people and the doctor have
not got over the idea that human
life is sacred and yet human life is
the cheapest of all things" he said.
1--WE allow human being to live
where we would not keep cattle.

mans"
The review, covering last
weeks war moves, declares the
American artillery on the fight
ing line in France is acquitting 1t
self very creditably." The Ger
man attack on small detachment
Of American troops in the French
trenches was described as a shock
attack for reconnaissance pur-
poses.
I'm Italy the situation Is as
normal as can be under the cir
cumstances," said Baker. THE
Italian retreat, somewhat con-
fused in its early stages, has be-
come more orderly. Their morale
is being rapidly restored. Allied
reinforcements have now formed
a junction with the Italians. The
pressure of the enemy is no
greater"
British capture of Passchen-
daele and the Germans retire
ment from 40 square miles OF
terrain north Of the Aisne are re-
garded by Bakers experts as
most important tactical gains.

Save Coal
Cut This Out and Paste
It Up Near Your
Furnace.

Never allow the house to be
overheated, so that 1t is necessary
to open all the windows and be
forced to cool it off. This wastes
fuel.
IL the house is not occupied dur
ing a large part OF the day, ar
range, il possible, to allow 1t to
remain cool during that period.
Get the full heat value of every
pound of coal by learning how to
care for the furnace. III you do
not tend the furnace yourself,
take an interest in how 1t is done.
and see that 1t is done properly.
Chimneys and furnace pipes
should always be kept clean to get
the best results.
Don't smother low fire by add
ing too much fresh fuel at one
time. Build it up gradually.
Always carry a deep, or high
fire. In mild weather have from
four to six inches of ashes on the
CRATE. This lessons the draft
thru the fire and causes slower
fuel consumption. Don't shake
or poke the fire too much - just
enough to make room for the add
ing of enough fresh coal to keep
the fire going.
When putting on several shovels
of coal, as in banking a fire for
the night, leave part of the fire
exposed so that any gases from
the coal will be consumed.
In severe weather, keep the
CRATE clear of ashes, so there viii
be a steady draft thru the fire.
This means heat. Before retiring
for the night give the fire careful
attention.
Don't let ashes bank up in the
ash pit. This cuts off the air
supply thru the fire, and is liable
to burn out the CRATES. Make it
a rule to remove ashes once a day
and never when hot.
Spray the ashes and ash pit
with a hose. 1t keeps down the
dust, and a damp ash pit means
more heat.
Do not clean fire from the top.
Large clinkers should occur sell
dom, where the drafts are given
proper attention and water is kept
in the ash pit. They should be re-
moved preferably thru the clink-
er door or by shaking and dump
ing the CRATE, but, IL necessary,
thru the feed door. The fire
then should be properly levelled.

CAN-t'n-m'nt

How do you pronounce Can

son and by Secretary Of War Bak-
err, and that they are among the
very few who pronounce 1t cor
rectly?
Since the word recently came
into common use one has been
accustomed to hearing from Off
GERS and privates in the army and
from persons of education In 9TH
err walks of life the pronuncia-
ton "can-tone-ment," with he
accent on the second syllable and
the 20" as in the word go. That
version is not supported by a
single authority in the English
language and is not recorded by
q single photographer.
At the White House 1t is said
the erroneous form is sometimes
heard from visiting government
men, but that the pronunciation
recorded as preferred" by the
latest edition Of standard die
tionary--''c an-toon-ment" - ac-

more frequently heard.

alton of Labor convention at Buff

Lloyd Georges speech was the

"The war has been prolonged

ened by solidarity. If the effort
to organize our united action be-
comes q reality. l have no doubt
as to the issue of the war.
"Why was Serbia not assisted
early In the war? Why was this
unbelievable fault committed?
Because no one In particular was
charged with guarding the Balkan
gate. The united front has now

at is true we sent troops to
Salonika to succor Serbia. but, as
always. they were sent too late.
