Buy a Basket" Plan
To Save Jersey Tomatoes

New Jersey automobilists have in
augurated a campaign to have every
motor car owner who passes over the
roads of that state buy a basket Of
tomatoes from the farmer, to help save
the New Jersey tomato crop The
yield of tomatoes in New Jersey this
year is 40 per cent above last season,
and they are of high quality. There
IS difficulty in marketing the crop,
though.
The motorists entered the movement
at the suggestion of the New JERSEY
Federal food administration as a food
conservation scheme. If every autoist
who tours should stop at one of the
many farms and purchase one basket
OF tomatoes the situation would be
greatly relieved. Purchase of a supply
for canning Is also urged.
The campaign has been Endorsed bv
the Associated Automobile Clubs Of
New Jersey, of which there are twenty
two affiliated clubs; the New JERSEY
Automobile and Motor Club, of Newark.
the New Jersey Automobile Trade As.
soclatlon and the Motor Truck Climb If
New Jersey. Out-of-state motorists
who visit Jersey are asked to Join in
the movement.

Lubricating Truck Chains

One drawback to the chain drive
motor trucks has been the trouble ex-
perlenced from grit and dirt collecting
on the chain and sprocket. The Joseph
Dixon Crucible Company has put on
the market compound especially to
meet this case. After the chain has
been thoroughly cleansed with gaso-
lene or kerosene it is boiled for twenty
minutes in the compound. giving annie
time for the lubricant to penetrate to
the pins. The chain is then dipped in
cold water to set the lubricant.
The preparation contains motor
graphite which provides friction
reducing compound for every part of
the chain.

One of the finest and most costly
specimens of highway engineering to
be undertaken in recent years is the
roadway now in course of construction
on the west shore of the Hudson
around Crows Nest and Storm King
mountains. This stretch of hipbwav
which will form a connecting ink IN
the new Henry Hudson Drive"-the
most important and attractive route in
the state-has been under way for
nearly four years. 1t is about sixty
miles above New York and will furnish
a direct route along the shores of the
Hu 1rls between New York and Albany.
ms route was first proposed about
ten years ago, when the plan of build
ing state highways was inaugurated in
ne" YORK State, and when finished this
twenty mile stretch will enable mo-
torlsts to continue along the west shore
OF the Hudson through Palisade Park

Apples Are Wanted
At Canteen Station

When one of the troop trains of
drafted men passed through Ashland
recently the first call the boys made
when they visited the canteen sta
tion was for apples. They were as
tonished to come into Oregon and not
find any apples, of which the Rogue
River valley is famous, for distrbu-
ton at the station, and they appar-
emily had a grievance on account OF
the omission. When possible the
committee in charge of the station
provides all troop trains with apples,
of which a great abundance goes to
waste in this section, but occasionally
it is difficult to secure them on short
notice. AS apples are usually a drug
on the market with the Orchardists
in this vicinity, the committee would
deem it a great favor if any one who
has this commodity to spare would
kindly contribute them to the station
or notify any of the committee, which
consists of Mrs. w. II. MaXey, Mrs.
Walter Everton and Mrs r. II. Bush,
and they will see that the soldiers
have this little treat in store for
them when they reach Ashland. An
apple to cheer a soldier boy along
his first step in the great game of
war is only slight gift from this
land of abundance, but 1t helps the
boys immensely to feel that strangers
along the road take sufficient inter
est in them to give them this atten-
tion.

Important Topics
Discussed M0nday

At the dairymen's meeting to be
held in Ashland Friday, April 3, n.
Z. Fits of the extension service, o.
A. c., will discuss in detail the COW
test association and other aids in
improving dairy cattle The associa-
ton tester secures records of milk
production and cost of feed of each
individual COW and thus discovers or
reveals the non-profit maker. Elimi-
nation from the herd saves feed,
saves labor and greatly increases
profits.
Another important topic to be dis
cussed will be silos and ensilage, the
former of which is an important part
of the dairyman's equipment. 1t pro-
vides almost complete preservation
of a variety Of forage crops and in a
form greatly relished by livestock.
Prof. Fits has many interesting and
valuable facts and figures to present
regarding this important subject.

Leader for Band
Has Been Secured

Despite the fact that the Ashland
band has lost several of its members
recently, due to their enlistment in
the war, the organization will not be
suspended. 1t was feared for time
this would be necessary owing to the
absence of its leader, Carl Loveland,
who enlisted in a naval marine band
"a short time ago. However, the serv-
ices of Prof. F. H. Appelhof of Rose
burg have been secured to take
charge of the band, and the concerts
will be conducted in Lithia park dur
ing the coming season as formerly.
Prof. Appelhof is well known by a
number of Ashland residents, and it
is through their efforts that his serv-
ices have been obtained. He is a
musician and band leader of note,
and previous to coming to the Pacific
coast had charge of the Elgin and
Illinois Watch factory bands. For
several years he has had charge OF
the Grants Pass band and orchestra,
and has also conducted the |. o. O..
i. orchestra at Roseburg for the past
two years. Prof. Appelhof, in COM
pany with his wife, expects to come
to Ashland about April Is, and as
sumo the leadership of the band.

Returned Officers
To Open Campaign

Ashland is to be h0nored by the
visit OF two returned officers from
the battle front who will be here next
week and open the Third Liberty
Loan campaign with patriotic ad-
dresses. These men are Lieut. Hec-
tor Macquarrie and Lieut.. Leslie o.
Tooze, who are touring the state and
addressing audiences as star attrac-
tlons arranged by the Liberty Loan
campaign committee.
Lieut.. Macquarrie is one speaker
on war topics who always draws
full house wherever he Is announced,
and Ashland is fortunate in being
able to hear him. He has come to-
this country from the trenches on
the French battle front to awaken
interest in and to inform our people
who are asked to buy national de-
fense bonds as to the significance of
the war.
The lieutenant is Cambridge
University man and an officer in the
British Royal Field Artillery. He
went to France in the early period OF
the war and participated in the bat
tie of the Marne. After being
"gassed" and incapacitated for field
service he was released to make an
extended speaking tour of the United
States. OF attractive personality and
knowing his subject intimately, his
public addresses are declared to he
highly interesting to those who have
knfolk in the war zone or preparing
to go there. Lieut.. Macquarrie is au-
thor of the book, How to Live at the
Front" which gives the new soldiers
q fund of useful information and the
folks at home consolation that there
are ways of playing reasonably safe
where unseen dangers are ever pres
ent.
Lieut. Tooze Is from Salem, Ore.
He likewise has a message that will
he intensely interesting. While train
ing with the r. o. T. C. of Harvard
University in May, 1917, he was ac-
cepted for the first officers training
camp at the Preside, San Francisco.
and commissioned a second lieutem-
ant in August, being assigned to the
364th Infantry, Camp Lewis, the fol-
lowing month. Last December he
was promoted to first lieutenant, and
since early in March has been lectur-
er to the University Of Oregon train
ing battalion.

Picture Post Cards
Will Be Presented

At a meeting of the Commercial
Club held Tuesday evening it was de-
cided to supply the canteen station
with views of Ashland to distribute
to the passing soldiers. AS all trains
stop twenty minutes at the Ashland
station and scarcely train goes
through in either direction without
carrying soldiers or sailors who have
this spare time to look around and
secure souvenir of their trip for
friends at home, a picture of some of
the scenic attractions around this
city is one of the finest mementoes
a man can secure. These post cards
will be given to the committee in
charge of the canteen as soon as they
can be printed.

Gas Company Held
Hearing Tuesday

At an investigation of the state
public service commission held i'll
Medford Tuesday in the Oregon Gas
& Electric Company case regarding
increased toll rates, the gas company
claimed that owing to the increase OF
labor cost and the advanced price of
material the company would not be
of long duration unless some steps
were taken to increase its revenue.
Medford through its attorney held
that if the company would increase
its volume of business in the cities
where 1t operates it would not be nee
essary to raise the rates. Further in
Quiries were made in Grants Pass.
The company has operating plants in
Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford,
Grants Pass and Roseburg.

Report That 65th
Is Now in France

A report has been circulated in
Medford to the effect that the 65th
regiment of Oregon Coast Artillery
had arrived in France last Sunday.
1t is stated that a cablegram was. re-
ceived from a member of the regi-
ment by his wife in Portland, and
the report was extended along the
line until it reached Medford. This
report has not been verified in Ash

from this city is supposed to have
sailed with the regiment, and much
anxiety is being felt here to learn of
the safe arrival of the troops.

Fighting Activity Declines But
Troops Expect Huge Battle Soon

Although the fighting activity
along the entire front of the new
Somme offensive remains slight,
there still prevails the feeling that
battles of large scale will begin
again soon, with the allied troops,
after the respite of several days.
strongly arrayed in battle formation
and eager to test their strength
against that of the foe. From the
Somme to the Disc river, along that
portion of the battle line which
bulges out toward Amiens, ALLY and
Breuteuil, the big guns of the oppos-
ing sides have opened in duels of
great proportions, and it apparently
is not unreasonable to assume that
either side at any moment may take
the offensive with their infantry in
resumption of battle which ranks
among the greatest the world has
ever seen.
Since the beginning of the present
week there has been no marked
change in the alignment Of the oppos-
ing sides from Arras southwark to
Chauny. The fighting has lacked the
sanguinary character of the previous
days, owing in part, no doubt, to the
extremely bad weather conditions,
Neither the Germans nor the allies
have been idle, however, for daily
there has been going on reinforce
ment of strategic positions, both of
man and gun power, for the coming
engagements upon which it is con-
ceded so much depends for the vic
tors.
In the vicinity of Lens artillery
duels of intensity have been revived
on some sectors, and in Belgium at
various points reciprocal shelling
continues. In both these regions,
however, the infantry has kept to the
