Girls Sell Tickets
For Chautauqua

Twelve girls have been appointed
to sell Chautauqua tickets and each
young lady when she has sold twelve
tickets is entitled to ticket for her
own use during the Chautauqua sea-
son, The tickets this year include
children, adult and family tickets,
the family ticket being very conven-
lent in case one member of the family
cannot be present at the session an
other member Of the same family may
take the ticket and go.
The young ladies chosen to sell
tickets are, including their districts,
as follows:
Donna Bachtell, from east part of
town to Fifth street; Helen Moore,
from Fifth street to Ashland creek;
Alice Freeman and Lois Morthland,
lower side of Main street between
Ashland creek and North Main; Pris-
ella Carnahan and Maria Caldwell,
from First to Granite streets, includ-
ing intervening streets; Reta Gard,
between Boulevard and East Main
street; Marion Summers and Bernice
Myers, from Laurel stree to Billings
crossing; above Boulevard to the city
hall including Hargadine, Gresham,
Allison, Union, Morton, Liberty,
Beach, Mountain avenue and interer-
vening streets will be canvassed by
Helen Walker, Effie Glendenning,
Minnie Beaver and Mrs. Van Wegen.
Everyone should buy a season
ticket to the Chautauqua this year
as the programs are planned to be
especially attractive and instructive
to both cid and young. This year
there will be no lack of room in the
splendid new building that is being
so rapidly made ready for the ses-
sions. We will soon have a Chau-
tauqua building that any city may
well be proud to own.

Total Of 1896
Die at Crossings

The annual report Of the interstate
commerce commission covering the
period for the year ended June 80,
1916, indicates that there were 1896
persons killed and 3,267 persons in
Jured on grade crossings in the
United States. The years record in
the states traversed by the New
York Central lines, including all
railroads in such states, follows:
Killed-Illinois 1928, Indiana SO,
Massachusetts, 10, Michigan S5, New
Jersey 61. New York 1875, Ohio 155,
Pennsylvania 159.
Injured-Illinols 255, Indiana 2O5.
Massachusetts 35, Michigan 165. New
Jersey 1O6, New York 231. Ohio 3S6,
Pennsylvania 351.
The majority of these persons
Killed and injured were drivers or oc-
cupants of automobiles, and such per-
sons are as general rule of the bet
ter class Of citizens.
The New York Central lines are
doing everything they can to combat
this evil and show automobile drivers
that they invite injury or death to
themselves and those travelling with
them every time they carelessly cross
railroad track at grade.
A part of the railroads campaign
of education is a poster in colors. SO
by 20 inches, geographically depict
ing the necessity for caution. 1t has
been posted in all freight and passen-
ger stations and in all the principal
hotels and garages in the states
which the New York Central
lines run.
There have also been distributed
through the various secretaries of
state upwards of 100000 warning
notices, copy having been sent
with the license card to each automo-
bile owner and driver in the territory
referred to.

not perish.

not perish.
Some of us hope that miracle
out of the blue skies will happen and
Germany, Austria and Turkey col
lapse from within but evidences that
they will are small and facts must
be faced and overwhelming tasks con-
fronted.
1--WE must realize that at the time
the United States entered the war the
allies were practically in the position
of losers, and that the possibility
of Russia becoming a negligible
/ quantity in the war is a fact which
no sane man can ignore. If the prin-
ciples of democracy are to be pre-
served the people of America must
bring about their survival by insur-
ing the defeat Of Germany and this
only can be done by undreamed of
sacrifices; that if we are to conquer
or survive in event of partial Ger
man success we must take a man s
part in this war"
Mr.. Piper then brought home with
triphammer emphasis the true bear
ing which the war has on Ashland
citizens, saying, "It is your sons and
your brothers, or If not yours, your
neighbors' sons and brothers who
are soon to meet the monster on the
battlefields of Europe. This war in
wolves more than sending the Amer
ican flag and few regulars to
France it means hundreds Of thous-
ands of our boys, for this war, bar
ring mircles, will last two or three
years at least. It means devasted
firesides, unknown graves, no let
ters from loved ones and to many
nothing but tender reccllections re-
naming of son you gave; a poig-
nant realization all your life OF what
war means to you. We must meet
the blunt facts and must provide
Red Cross equipment, Red Cross hos
pitfalls and Red Cross ambulances,
not here but in France. 1t means
distorted features, blind eyes and
mained bodies-to your sons.
Thank God that we are given the
privilege to give for if 1t is not the
suffering of your own sons whom
you will alleviate, it will be the suf-
ferings Of your neighbor's sons who
are fighting that you may pass on
to your sons end daughters the preci-
GUS heritage of freedom"

At a joint session of the state
board of control and the state high

1t was virtually decided to carry to
the supreme court, in friendly suit.
the question of whether the state can
issue the entire $1,S00,00O worth Of
bonds to meet the Shackleford feder-

Bean-Barrett bonding bill Of the last
legislature, or whether the state can
issue only a sufficient amount Of
such bonds to cover any deficiency
that might exist after the highway
millage tax has been applied to meet
the federal road fund All sides
readily agreed that none Of the $6,-
