TUESDAY, MAY 1,
 IS CLEANUP DAY

Tomorrow is May first, and cleanup day. The past week was dedicated to Saint Cleanup" and all dirt and re- fuse is supposed to be piled near the street or alley, so that the wagon can pick it up tomorrow and haul it away. It has been the custom for many years in Seward for the city to en- courage an annual civic cleanup, by having hauled away, free of charge, all the dirt and refuse that the citi- zens can gather. This year is to be no exception.
 The wagon will call tomorrow, and all premises that are not ready will have to be cleaned later, at the ex- pense of the individual owner.

Will Mark Progress
OF Red Cross Week

A most unique device for record
ing the progress of the Red Cross
campaign in Ashland will be placed
in front of the Red Cross headquar-
ters in the Elks Temple and will at
tract a great deal of attention. The
device is huge landscape painted on
a strip of canvas, thirty feet long,
depicting a Red Cross hospital tent
at one end and wounded soldier at
the other. A movable ambulance
will progress over road in the fore
ground as the subscriptions come In,
and its arrival at the spot on which
the wounded soldier lies will mark
the consummation of the. campaign
for $4,000 in this city. Milestores,
representing amounts from $500 to
$4,000, line the road, and the amount
subscribed will be shown by the posi-
ton of the ambulance.
The great canvas was painted by
Miss Hortense Winter and is credit
to her artistic ability. 1t represents
two weeks of hard work on the part
of this talented young lady. The
device will be displayed at the Red
Cross picnic in Lithia park Monday
after which 1t will be placed at Red
Cross headquarters.

w. D. Hodgson, j. B. Winner, Otto
Klum, G. H, Billings, Frank Jordan,
A. E. Kinney, E. T. Staples, Mrs.

between them in showing the results
of their canvass. These captains,
with three men working with each,
are giving their loyal service to this
work. Remember that they have just
as many personal interests to look
after as we have and that they are
making sacrifices by neglecting their
own work to help out In this great
cause. Subscribers are appealed to
to make up their minds what they
are able to do to support the Red
Cross and to give literally, cheerfully
and promptly when approached by
the solicitors Soliciting Is not pleas
ant work-no. one likes to do it-so
make it as. easy as possible for these
teams by. acting promptly when you
are appealed to.

Apple Thinners
Paid Good Wages

Pay for apple thinning In the val
ley orchards this year is much higher
than in any year in the past. AT
some of the orchards the pay ranges
as high as $3.50 and transportation
to and from town for expert men thin
ners, while boys and girls receive as
high as 1925 and transportation.
Two dollars seems to be the mini
mum. In past years boys were paid
$3.50 and even less on some Or
chards.
The apple crop gives promise OF
being one of the largest in history
in this valley, and preparations are
being made to provide labor for hand
ling and cars to transport 1000 to
$500 cars of apples and pears. The
fruit is not set as heavily in many
orchards as in some past years, but
escaped the frost and will yield larg-
er returns than last year, which was
fair fruit year. q p'- .n-

Friends Were Good
Says Mrs. GarWood

After visiting for few days in
Ashland, Mrs, Garwood, who was &C
quilted by the circuit court jury at
Jacksonville on a charge Of accom-
pliceship in the Strickfadden arson
case, left Sunday for Seattle. Mrs.
Garwood expressed herself as being
extremely grateful to the many
friends who stayed by her" through
her trying experience.
II was confident that my inno-
cence would be proven from the first
and did not allow myself to realize
my surroundings and did not cry or
carry on during the sixty-three days
that / was held" che stated. "Mr-
Newberry cher attorney told me
that he could have the indictment
set aside as faulty when 1t first came
up, but we decided that 1t would be
best to allow the trial to vindicate
me. ! certainly appreciate the man
ner in which the many friends ] had
made in the valley stuck by me,
had fine business, which has suf-
fered heavily on account of this trou-
ble."
Mrs. Garwood did not express any
harsh feelings toward Mrs. Strickfad-
den or Mrs. Dreyfus, although anx-
ious as to the outcome of the hearing
at which their sentence was to be
set. ~ Ie
When questioned as to the possi-
bility of Mr. Hemphill having been
tool of the other two women, Mrs.
Garwood stated that to her knOwl-
edge nothing had occurred in the
trial which implicated him. Mr..
Hemphill committed suicide at Eu'
gene shortly after being arrested
Mrs. Garwood seemed slightly affect
ed by the reference to Hemphill and
said: While, of course, any such
implication would be getting into
pretty deep waters, I have wondered
if there wasn't a possibility that out
side people had something to do with
his death. But then it is all over
and there is no use even thinking
about it."

There's a trip across the channel
home, for the British Tommy on fur
Tough or convalescent, but when the
American soldier boy says farewell
to home folk it will be until the war
ends. Hence the Red Cross. It will
be its duty to see that nothing is
lacking to keep the troops healthy,
happy and efficient.
Trench warfare has left its wake
in a livid army of tuberculers all
through France. The country must
be savcd 70 itself and for the Ameri-
can troops that are coming. Hence
the Red Cross.
American troops under General
John ]. Pershing will soon be out on
the firing line in France They de-
serve Americas best. Hence the Red
Cross need for $10O,0O0,0OO from
the nation.
This is the official answer to the
argument, "Why the Red Cross"
given out by the war council of the
National Red Cross and transmitted
to Minnesota state headquarters.
Campaign Begins in Week.
A sketch of actual needs, showing
where every dollar is called for, has
been prepared by the war council.
The Red Cross will go to France and
Belgium, seed the devastated districts
there, furnish ambulances along the
dreary Russian war fronts that are
in danger Of collapse, resupply the
hospitals and safeguard the American
boys going out.
A genially burning pipe, smoked
during a lull in the fighting, while
resting in dugout, can save a sol
dier's nerves for a month, 1t has been
estimated. The Red Cross furnishes
special personal comfort kits not in
cluded in army regulations.
Commission to Study Needs.
A Red Cross commission, headed
by Major Grayson M. P. Murphy,
member OF the Red Cross war council,
is now on the way to France. The
commission is composed of trained
business men and experts, and will
study ways in which the Red Cross
can best aid French and Belgians, in
dividuals and towns, In re-establish-
ing themselves.
President Wilson has pointed out
that the need among one Of the allies
is the same as a need among our
selves, and that unless 1t is supplied
1t drains on the efficiency Of the en-
tire war machine.
Two hundred thousand blankets,
10000 Kilograms Of quinlne, 10000
Kilograms Of cod liver oil and 100000
pairs of woolen socks, 10000 flannel
waistcoats and 5000 pairs of surgical
rubber gloves is an emergency order
that has come from France.
While the United States govern
ment will grant allowances for the
families Of dependents and soldiers,
thousands of cases will arise where
additions or special aid must also be
given, and here again the Red Cross
fmust be prepared to aid
Every dollar collected will be spent
under the supervision of the war
council the Money to be handled by

Pennies and NickelS
Will Help the Cause

What part can the Riddles" the
tender, big hearted little boys and
girls, do to help win the war?
This is one of the questions that
has been interesting the leaders in
the great Red Cross drive for $780,,
900.
They believe they have arrived at a
solution of 1t and will attempt to
arouse the enthusiasm of the young
sters to q pitch as keen as that of the
grownups who are waging the battls
for the dollars.
The plan is to enlist the assistance
of the parents and urge them TO in
still at this time the patriotic need OF
exercising self-sacrifice and self-re-
straint in the smaller things that eat
up the pennies and nickels that the
"kiddies" spend for "eats" and good
les of all kinds.
Parents will also be urged to help
their children to earn few more
pennies or dimes during the next few
weeks than they have been In the
habit of doing, and to ask the kiddies
to save their earnings above what
they actually need and give them to
the Red Cross fund.
There are nearly 100000 children
OF school age in Oregon and they are.
or soon will be, out of school foH
their summer vacations, and the Red
Cross committee 10 confident that
these thousands Of young patriots
will be able to make splendid show-
ing in gifts TO the Red Cross If they
exercise o, little more energy, perse-
verance and thrift in working for the
great relief movement.
II the school children of Oregon
averaged only a dime apiece they
would swell the Red Cross fund by a
magnificent sum Of over $4,000. If
they averaged but nicket apiece, tho
grand total would be between 81 500
and $4,000.
! How important the pennies and
nickels and dimes may be in the allie.
Walton of suffering and misery
among the wounded on the battles
fields of Europe, where the American
soldiers will soon be doing their Bit
to help win the war, is shown by somd
figures prepared by the Red Cross.
For example:
One cent will buy iodine to disin-
feet q wound.
One cent will buy enough gauze fot
one dressing
nickel will buy bandage.
Eight cents will pay for tempo+
rary splint
A dime will provide chloroform foa
an operation.
Twenty five cents expended as
above may save a limb or life of a
wounded soldier.
Every man, woman and child in
the state can do something in this gi-
gantic Red Cross campaign. There
will be many of those who are not
circumstanced 80 as to be among the
heavy givers, but there never was a
movement in the history Of philan-
thropy which offered such abundant
opportunity for the high and low
rich and poor to join hands in tho
common cause az 10 presented by tho
American Red Cross. The humble
penny, the modest nicket and the
bright little dime, each can and does
do a definite practical thing toward
the work that 10 before us to do. The
child's mite and the rich mans mill
lions will each be received with equal
welcome and each will serve the same
degree of efficiency in the Red Cross
work.

1t will be done. The task is great,
but Oregon's willingness is greater.
Never has Oregon failed In full re-
sponse to the appeal to generosity,
and now the Universal Service OF
Mercy pleads.
The president OF the United States
proclaims Red Cross week and asks
in behalf of the nation ct war that
the 800, 100000 be given. The
wounds and agony awaiting the SOL
diers that we send across the sea beg
that we furnish the Red Cross hos
pitals, physicians, nurses, stretcher
bearers, medicines and bandages In
time to serve their terrible need.
And the mother whose yearnine
arms reached emptily after her SOL
der boy who has marched away
holds out those arms pleadingly to-
ward the patriotically generous OF
Oregon; her full, tender heart ques'
tions anxiously: "Will you give the
Red Cross ability to save my boys
life when he is wounded, and to care
for me?"
1t is an appeal that Oregon car
not, will not, resist.
Red Cross week offers Oregon ar
opportunity to complete her splendid
record.
Remember that the American Rec
Cross is financed out of private sub
scriptions. because if financed by the
government it would cease to have
the status of a neutral on the battle
fields and its work might be handi
capped or destroyed. Remember
that subscriptions made now may b'
