Pupils Assisted
In Buying Bonds

]. A. Westerlund Of Medford, presi-
dent of the Western Oregon Develop
ment Company, who some time ago
devised the movement of financing
the school children Of Medford in
the purchase of Liberty bonds with
easy payments, has extended that
project to school children through
out the county. In the spirit of pa
triotism prevailing in the state OF
Oregon, Mr.. Westerlund voluntarily
agreed to make it possible for the
boys and girls in the public schools
in this community to buy Liberty
bonds under terms so reasonable that
almost all can avail themselves of this
opportunity.
According to Mr.. Westerlund's
plan, Liberty bonds may be bought
by the school children for So down
and SO a month for the ensuing six
teen months, which will complete the
payments of the bonds. This will be
fine opportunity for any boy or girl
to help the country in her hour of
need.

for the splendid attractions they have
already received through the efficient
efforts of Mrs Bergner, who has man
aged the Vining for the past year in
the absence of Mr.. Bergner, who has
been engaged as accountant for the
Foster-Kleiser Company of San Fran
cisco, and are glad they are not going
to lose their splendid management.

Auto Wreck Victims
Buried on TueSday

Funeral services were held at
Grants Pass Tuesday over the re-
mains of the unfortunate young men
who were killed in the automobile
wreck near Central Point last Sunday
evening. The funeral Of Lloyd Dyer
was held from the Christian church
in the forenoon, Rev. ]. II. Harmon
officiating. In the afternoon services
were held over the remains Of Rex
Tufts from Halls chapel and were in
charge Of the Medford lodge Of Elks.
The various theories that have
been advanced as to the direct cause
of the accident have settled generally
upon that of terrific speeding. The
curve in the road where the casualty
occurred is a particularly dangerous
one and has been the scene of fire.
quent accidents, 1t is reported. While
nothing will ever be known as to the
real facts of the case, II Is conjec-
tured that owing to the great speed
in which the car attempted to make
the curve the driver may have be-
come confused and lost control of the
car, which then plunged off the high
way.

Ashland Subway
Held Up By Traffic

According to communication re-
ceived by the county court recently
from Superintendent j. W. Metcali
of the Shasta division of the South.
ern Pacific, the reason for the rail
roads delay in constructing the Ash
land hill subway on the Pacific High
way is due to traffic conditions, es-
pecially the present movement of the
national army, and is entirely un-
avoidable. Superintendent Metcalf's
communication is as follows:
"Dear Sirs: I have for acknowl-
edgment your favor Of the 9th inst,
relative to Ashland hill undergrade
crossing.
eve have all of the falsework
material and piledriver now at Ash
land ready to begin work on this
crossing, but unfortunately traffic
conditions, especially during the
movement Of the national army, made
it impossible for us to secure the
necessary work.
"I wish to assure you that the de-
lay in this matter has been entirely
due to circumstances over which we
have no control, inasmuch as our op-
Grafton at the present time is die
tated almost entirely by the national
war board.
"I am hopeful, however, that i'm
mediately after the last contingent of
the draft army has been moved we
will be in position to drive the false
work for the structure.
yours truly,
~. w. METCALF.

Food Pledge Card
Campaign Opened

The Food Administration Pledge
Card campaign has been on in ASH
land this week, and every housewife
has been, or will be before the end
of the week, visited by pupil Of the
public schools with pledge card,
asking her to do her bit for the food
saving forces of the country. While
every household will be presented
with a pledge card, the rules laid
down are not arbitrary. 1t is simply
a pledge of conscience, but that con-
science Is to be on guard at every
meal to see that all are playing fair.
The canvassers deliver a home and
pledge card to each house. The home
card should be hung in place in the
kitchen or dining room where 1t will
not fail of frequent reading. When
the pledge cards are returned to the
school signed, the teacher is to give
to the child bringing the pledge, for
the home in which the mother thus
signs, a window card which is to be-
taken home and placed in promi-
nent window in the front Of the
house, to remain there as an evidence
that that home Is doing It's part.
No particular days have been Off
cially set aside as yet as wheatless on
meatless days in the homes. In hotels
and restaurants, however, Tuesdays
have been set aside as meatless days
(that is, substituting fish, chicken on
eggs for beef, mutton and pork and
Wednesdays as wheatless days.
Homes might profitably follow tho
same program, but in so far as the
home card is concerned, the program
is simply:
a. At least one wheatless meal q
day.
b. Do not use beef, mutton or pork
more than once daily.
c. Save daily one-third an ounce
of animal fat.
d. Use less candy and sweet
drinks. Use less sugar in tea and
coffee. Do not frost or ice cakes.
The committee in charge has been
working strcnuously all week and
before Saturday every house in Ash
land will have an opportunity OF
showing patriotism. Every home
should have the window card as =
soldier wears his uniform.

The busiest men in Ashland this
week are the bankers and soliciting
committee who have been working
overtime on the second Liberty loan
subscriptions. The long and strenu-
GUS hours of these speedsters are be-
ginning to tell on them, but they
abate not one jot of their efforts to
reach the desired quota at the end
Of the week. The sum Of $150,000
seemed an immense sum when set
before the people of Ashland as their
quota for this second loan, but the
way the citizens have responded has
been most gratifying to the solicitors
and the subscribers wear the little
Liberty button with a great deal Of
pride and pleasure in the fact of do
ing their bit.

of The Citizens Bank sent the follow
ing telegram to the Liberty Loan
Headquarters in Portland: ashland

hundred. Bank subscriptions report
