Vandalism Seems to Rule in the
Park.

To the Editor: Perhaps, as
"has-been," have no right to say
anything. However, after thirty
years OF strenuous and enthusiastic
work in aiding to make Ashland
place of parks, of beauty and general
attractiveness, it saddens me beyond
measure to see ii in fair way of
destruction by sensoless vandalism.
| do not know what especial indi-
vidual is dominating the present OPP
erations in the park, but this | do
know, that much of that that has
been declared by visitors from the
outside to be our greatest park at
traction is being hopelessly ruined.
Can someone give any good reason
why some of our most attractive
trees are being ruthlessly cut down
and grubbed up? Why are the splen-
did alder trees being trimmed into
long stems with only a tuft at the
top? If the present butchering con-
tinues the shade which is the great
attraction to ourselves and our visit
ors, the great source of comfort on
hot days, will only exist in memory.

Missionary From India.

At the Methodist church Monday
night Miss ada Holmes, recently Of
India, gave a splendid address to
young people, Before the address
began Mr.. and Mrs. Will Ashcraft
sang in their beautiful style "a Little
Bit of Love-" with guitar accompani-
ment.
Miss Holmes then told of many
phases of the missionary work in a
very interesting way. She said that
we in America thought we couldn't
love the children of India with their
dark colored skin, but that the mis-
sionaries found themselves growing
so attached to them that 1t broke
their hearts to leave them after work
ing there a number of years. She
spoke of how the dressmaking was
done in India by men and boys, and
said they were real neat sewers but
had little idea of color and would
often sew garment all the way
down the sleeve or wherever 1t hap
pened to come. The children were

Nomination to Lime
Board Is Necessary

Governor Withycombe writes the
local Commercial Club stating that
he would be very glad to consider
the appointment Of Benton Bowers
TO the state lime board when the
time comes for making the appoint
ments. but that the club must re-
member that his appointments are
limited to names which are placed
in nomination by the State -Taxpay-
ers' league, the Farmers Union and
the Grange. He states, Should Mr..
Bowers be nominated, ! should be
very glad indeed to give his candidacy
very careful consideration"
It is understood that Mr.. Bowers
has the backing of the State Tax
payers league, and the recommen-
dation of other organizations and 1t
seems likely that his name will be
mt into nomination. Jackson county
is entitled to representative on this
board, lime deposits in this county
being recognized as of fine quality
and easy accessibility

large crowd present. A splendid
and interesting talk was given by
DR.. Jarvis on the correct position in

upon the general health. DR.. Jarvis

statements made because of being so
true to life. During the business ses-
sion skating on the sidewalks was

Indifferent about school In the dis
trict where Miss Holmes was situated,
and often had to be switched several
times of morning to get them start
ed to school. When the common pin
was first introduced in India the
people hardly knew what to do with
them, but the boys in school soon
found out they were useful to stick
the girls with-thc same as in Amer
lea. Miss Holmes told how gratefully
tops and other toys that were sent
from home were received by the chill
dren of India about Christmas time,
and told how happy the children were
in the orphanage schools compared
to those having no care. Soap and
towels are not used in India by the
heather people. A sort of soapstone
is substituted for soap. and clothes
washed by dashing them on a huge
rock in a pool of water, and they
came out none too clean and minus
buttons. The people of India love
proverbs, and a few of these were
given, one of which was, Would you
begin a well when the house was on
fire." Many snakes abound and
Americans shake their clothing well
before donning them of morning in
India let a snake might be hidden
in the garment. Also shoes are in
spected as a precaution against scor-
p.ons. Diseases spread rapidly, and
when a person dies in the morning
he is always buried before night. No
potatoes are raised in India. but peas,
tomatoes, cabbage and turnips are
grown. Miss Holmes told of the re-
ligious work she was engaged in and
how she desired and appreciated help
from the churches at home, and
spoke of new missionary who would
start to India as soon as funds were
raised
The meeting closed with refresh
ments by ladies of the missionary So
cieties.

Seventy-Five H. S.
Boys Out for Track

Seventy-five high school students
turned out at the call of Coach Held
enrich for track work at the Ashland
high school this week, and the coach
states that he believes he has ma
terial from which to build cham
pionship track squad. Several men,
bers of last years squad are back, in
Guiding Lcith Abbott, who won the
half-mile at the Oregon interscholas-
tic meet at Eugene last spring. 1t is
doubtful if the local school will take
up BASEBALL this spring, all interest be-
ing centered upon track activities.
Coach Heidenrich is an alj-around
track man of experience He is a
graduate of the University of Oregon
and broke the northwest discus rec
ord in his junior year in college.
An all-southcrn Oregon high school
track meet is contemplated for some
date carly in May. klamath Falls
has asked for the privilege OF enter
tanning the track teams from the
southern Oregon schools, but owing
to the great distance from the Rogue
River valley, which will probabbly be
represented by teams from at least
eight schools, Ashland or Medford is
more likely 10 be chosen 1t is
planned to make an all-day affair OF
the track meet. with a barbecue for
everybody at noon, minor events and
tennis in the morning, the finals in
the afternoon and some form of even
ing entertainment Invitations will
be extended to every school in south
ern Oregon to send teams, and
Grants Pass, Medford, Rogue River,
Gold Hill. Central Point Jackson
vile. Eagle Point, Applegate, Talent,
Phoenix, klamath Falls and possibly
Roseburg will probably enter teams.
The local school plans tt send
team to the high school meet at the
University of Oregon in May, and has
high hopes of winning the meet. Ash
land high school has a quarter mile
track on the athletic field adjoining
the school building.
Strict training rules will be OBJ
served and the least laxity will result
in dismissal from the squad Among
the aspirants who are accorded excel
lent chances of making the team are
Abbott in the middle distances, Buck
and Gill in the hurdles, Whine In the
dashes, Donnie Lowe, who will re-
enter school, in the dashes and hur-
dies Randalls, who will also be back,
in the jumps and pole vault, and
numbers of others who have had
more or less experience.
Coach Heidcnreich states that he is
greatly pleased with the turnout and
offers every encouragement to the be-
ginners, as track work is one branch
of athletics in which pure individual
ability will carry the aspirants to the
top, and many who are not regarded
as possibilities now may develop into
dependable point winners under care
