Saturdays Game
Results 0 to 0

The football game with Grants
Pass last Saturday resulted in a
score of to 0 with the local boys on
the twenty-yard line. The Grants
Pass men were heavier by some
pounds than the Ashland team, but
the boys did themselves full credit to
Coach Kings training. The coach
says he is more than pleased with the
way the boys worked. The Ashland
team used more plays" than rush
es' on account of the superior weight
of the visiting team. Contrary to ex-
pectations, both teams made greater
yardage when working toward the
south goal, which is up a decided
grade. Domino Provost and Captain
Clyde Young played game worthy
81 veterans, while Hubert Prescott,
Arvin Burnette and Dick Shinn
played the back line "to a finish"
Grants Pass plays Medford next
Saturday, and the approximate stand
ing between the Ashland and Med
ford teams may be judged by the
score.

Supplies
Go Up In Smoke

Fire destroyed a storehouse con-
tanning winter supplies, the property
of Sherman Morehouse, on Third
street Thursday evening at about s
O'Clock.
The fire is supposed I'd have start
ed from a spark from the flue of the
residence, and but for the quick work
of the fire department and it being
an unusually still night the residence
might have suffered, as there was but
about three-foot space between the
buildings. Before the fire boys ar
rived on the scene the blaze had
gained considerable headway, it not
being discovered until the flames
were seen spreading over the roof,
and the roof had fallen in.
The building was partly covered
by insurance and the loss is consid-
cred to be about $4O0.

Telephone Strike
Ended Saturday

Seattle telephone girls, numbering
approximately 800, went on strike
at a. m. Saturday, but returned to
work at 5 a. m, when their business
agent, w. F. De Laney, telegraphed
from San Francisco that their em-
ployers agreed to settle their de-
mands for higher wages and Pecogni-
ton Of the union satisfactorily by
October 81, If they would return to
their switchboards.
De Laney's instructions were sent
after the California Council of De-
fenses and made patriotic appeal to
the telephone workers asking them
to remain at their posts pending set-
tlement of their demands, according
to advices received here from San
Francisco.
With the threatened strike Of elec-
trical workers and girl operators of
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company in Pacific coast states, Ne
vada and Arizona definitely post
poned until October 81, conferences
began in San Francisco Saturday
with view to averting the general
walkout scheduled for that date.
Los Angeles operators remained at
work, denying knowledge of plans
for a strike at the present time.
Reports show that Spokane and
North Yakima girls did not walk out.
After ITO telephone operators had
voted at Q a. m. Saturday to strike
and had gone home for the night, IA
operators actually walked out OF the
Tacoma main exchange at $3.50 Sat-
urday morning. At 4 o'clock James
Sutton, delegate from Tacoma to the
San Francisco conference, called the
president of the Tacoma union by
long distance from San Francisco and
notified him that a truce had been
declared until October 81.

Will Get Good
National Publicity

Lithia park will receive national
publicity as a result of visit of a
large Kissel Kar which attracted at
tention on the streets Of Ashland last
Thursday.
James P. Cory of the Pacific Kissel
Kar branch of San Francisco and
Charles M. Hitler, photographer of
some renown, who has specialized in
outdoor photography, are going over
the highway taking views of all the
points of interest for national public
ity for the Kissel Kar people and the
Briscoe Motor Company. According
to Mr.. Hitler, they had already visit
ed Crater Lake, and the city editor
of the Ashland Tidings piloted them
to Lithia park, where several exposes
were made with the Kissel Kar in
the foreground.
This car was the one furnished by
the Kissel Kar people at San Fran
cisco to the Coast Defense League to
mark out military highway from
British Columbia to Mexico. The trip
was made several months ago in 80
hours running time, and after the
car had completed the trip it was re-
turned to San Francisco, where 1t was
camouflaged. 1t then made a trip
from San Francisco to Seattle in 81
hours.
Hitler and Cory were on their way
south by way of Crescent City and do
not expect to reach San Francisco for
at least 80 days.

Fatal Automobile Accident Sunday
Evening Near Central Point

and that it was entirely destitute Of
wheels. The boys bodies laid about
fifteen feet from the car, one on each
side. The head of one seemed en-
tirely severed from the body, while
that of the other was so badly
crushed that the brains oozed out
through the skull,
Evidently both boys were killed in
stantly.
Max Tufts was employed at a
Grants Pass bank and was about 22.
Lloyd Dyer was a postoffice employe,
married, and about 25 years old.
The accident was evidently the re-
suit of speeding and skidding on the
pavement as the car turned the curve.

Received Injuries
In Fall From Car

Cecil Grisez was the victim Of a
painful accident last Friday after
noon when in turning corner on the
Boulevard no was thrown from an
automobile. In company with Lyle
Carlton, who was driving the ma
chine of the "bug" variety, Cecil was
sitting in the seat perfectly contented
and not looking for Mr.. Carlton to
turn, and before he realized what had
happened he was thrown violently to
the pavement on his head, one wheel
running over his left shoulder. He
received severe cuts and bruises
about the face and head as the result
of the jolt.

Change Approved
: In Draft Plan

A change in the machinery Of the
selective draft, based on division OF
the 100000 remaining registrants
into five classes in order of their elig-
ibility for military service, has been
announced by Provost Marshal-Gen-
eral Crowder. Details of the plan
have been approved by President
Wilson, 1t is stated, but have not been
made public. 1t is calculated to do
away with all the complicated ma
chinery of the first draft and to
make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than
rubbep stamp proceedings.
The plan was worked out by local
and district boards in conference and
approved by the various state author
tiles. It's chief features are that
every registered man will know his
lgact position and be able to arrange
Ills affairs accordingly, and that no
man deemed necessary in any impor-
tant industry, or needed at home to
support his family, will be called to
the colors, unless the military situa-
tion is desperate.
In issuing his statement General
Crowder says:
"The new system fixes a mans
status and calls him in his proper
turn when he is needed. He will be
examined physically only when need
ed. Thus the labors of the medical
officers will be called on only when
required. If the nation needs 5O0,-
900 men, they will respond each in
his turn, fixed by his class.
1.-THE man who can be least spared
will be the last to go. The new plan
is being made ready for the printer
and will be submitted to the local and
district boards in ample time to en-
able them to familiarize themselves
with 1t and thus approach their next
draft with thorough knowledge of
its requirements"

State Societies
Appeal to Farmers

j. D. Brown, president of the
Farmers Union, and c. e. Spence,
master of the State Grange, have
Joined in a statewide appeal to
farmers to buy Liberty bonds. A
large part of the money derived from
this Liberty loan will go directly back
to the farmers and agricultural in
terests in payment for supplies for
the armies of the country. All loans
made by the government to the allies
are for the purpose Of enabling them
to pay for produce of the soil and
manufactures produced in this coun-
try.
During the last Liberty loan CAM
paign, realizing that the farmers.
livestock men and others interested
in agricultural pursuits at that par
ticular time of the year were not in
position to subscribe, no direct ap-
peal was made at that time to farm
ers to come to the support of the
government with their funds. Dur
ing the present campaign, however,
after realizing on their harvest and
stock the government expects the
farmers to do their share, and be-
lieves that the producers will not be
found wanting.
An especial plea has been issued
by the Farmers Union and State
Grange to the farmers that Oregon
does not lag behind the other states
or the producers of Oregon tag the
rest of the state.

moved to Ashland and vicinity to find
homes. The first on the list was G.
B. Haney and wife of Elkton. Rob-
ert Haney, the father of G. B. Haney,
moved later to live with his sons

The Liberty Loan campaign con-
tinues its gains every day and the re-
suits of the campaign workers are
proving most satisfactory. Returns
at the various banks show that Ash
land is responding right royalty to
the call, and the overworked bank
officials have reason to be proud of
the gains the drive is making each
day.
ashland citizens in general are re-
spending very generously to the call
for loans, and the sentiment seems
to prevail that so far as possible each
one will do his part to raise the quota
expected in Oregon. All of the sub
scription committees are working in
dustriously and no one may say he
has not been given an opportunity to
answer his country's appeal.
