MARKET TO CLOSE

DOUGLAS, June 20.-The short age of labor is being felt here to such an extent that industries are closing their doors for lack of men to operate them. Especially is this true of the Third Street Market which has been run for the past two weeks by a man borrowed from Jul neau. All efforts to get a butcher here from the outside have proved unavailing and it was announced this morning that the market will be closed until conditions in the la bor market are less stringent. The closing of the Third Street Market leaves the Treadwell market the only one on Douglas Island.

Brakeman Stabbed
By Fellow Workman

In an alteration on A street
Thursday evening Chester e. McIn-
tosh stabbed Antonio Bonderson with
a knife which penetrated his side just
below the liver. Mcintosh made his
escape after the stabbng and has not
been located The fight took place
about $50 o'clock near Curtis res
taurant, and was caused by alleged
disrespectful remarks made by Nc
Intosh about Bonderson's wife. A
quarrel ensued which later was fol-
loved by the stabbing of henderson.
Two Southern Pacific brakemen saw
Bonderson fall and they removed him
to local hospital, where his wounds
were dressed 1t is not thought they
will cause serious results unless blood
poisoning sets in.
Mcintosh, who is better known by
the name of Roy E. White, escaped
after the stabbing, but was captured
in Roseburg Saturday. He is being
held there pending the result of his
act.

ing statement which should go far
toward cheering the hearts of Ash
land citizens and others who are con-
cerned about the danger confronting
members of their families expecting

cording to this soldier, Corporal Ken
meth Hastings, the dangers from the

ing to the U-boat chasers, which he
designates as, crafty little tools, and
says the submarines have not ghost
of a chance of hitting the transports.
Besides these, there is other protec-
tlon as good or even better than the
chasers. Information of this sort
coming first handed is great source
of comfort to those who know their

Berlin Strikers Still Restless
But Factories Are Militarized

Germany's workers are still in a
restless mood, and although the
strike movement appears to be on the
wane, largely through the adoption
of drastic measures by the authori-
ties, there are threats of further
demonstrations and a continuation Of
sporadic disorders.
Berlin and its environs remain the
center of the disorder. The city is
under military control. Factories
where strikes are progressing have
been militarized, say dispatches, and
the workers warned to report for
work Monday morning or undergo
military discipline.
The most serious disturbances ap-
pear to have occurred in Berlin on
Thursday, when crowds got out Of
hand, overturned street cars, inter-
fcred with workers who had kept to
their employment and frequently col
lided with the police. In one case,
when a panic broke loose after a
shot. had been fired, the police are
declared TO have charged with drawn
sabres, 80 strikers and many onlook-
ers being wounded. At Spandua, an
important suburb, there were like
disorders and a mob is reported to
have attacked soldier guards.
A nationwide demonstration Is
threatened over the arrest of Deputy
William Dittman, one of the indepen-
dent socialist leaders, for attempting
to address a street crowd. The COM
pleteness of the military control of
Berlin is indicated by the reported
refusal of Chancellor Won Hertling
to order the deputy's release when
asked to do so, giving as a reason
that he was powerless to interfere,
as the capital was entirely in mill
terry hands.
The semi-official statement sent
from Berlin on Friday night declares
that Fridays disorders were of a
minor nature, that men were return
ing to work, and that prevailing
opinion was that the strike had

Rabbit Breeding
Patriotic Measure

In the belief that rabbit breeding
will aid in offsetting the mounting
prices and increasing scarcity of
meats, many rabbit growers of Hum
boidt county, California, will hold pet
stock exhibitions in Eureka March
16 and II. Every kind of rabbit
known to breeders will be shown, and
particular emphasis laid upon with
which school boys have raised enough
rabbits on garden refuse to supply
the family larder. 1t is believed that
rabbit breeding will serve a useful
and patriotic purpose in war time.

Registration Rules
For Alien Germans

Beginning today and continuing
until Saturday all alien Germans over
IA years of age of Jackson county
will have to register at the police
station of the city or town in which
taey get mail. While this is obliga-
tory to all alien Germans 1t is not re-
stricting or confining them in any
way. 1t is merely to get line on
them while this country is in war
with their fatherland.
Aside from filling out the registra-
ton cards, each German alien is re-
quired to furnish four unmounted
photographs of himself, and signed
hy the registrant. Blank forms OF
registration affidavits and a blank
for finger prints must be produced
by the registrant. If the latter can
not write he must make his mark in
the signature space and affix his left
thumb print in the space provided
opposite the signature space.
The duties of Chief of Police j. w.
Hatcher will not be arduous during
the registration days, as so far as
known only one alien German resides
in Ashland. This registration does
not include citizens of other countries
with which the United States is in
war.

Victory Bread Now
Rules In This City

Beginning Saturday, the local bak-
erC started the production of victory
bread" the name applied to all prod
ucts containing a 20 per cent substi-
tuition of wheat flour. According to
the regulations extended by President
Wilson, bakers of breads and rolls
must use per cent of wheat flour
substitutes and the amount must be
increased until they are using 20 per
cent by February "a.
Victory bread and other victory
products" may be sold on the wheat
LEES days, but the suggestion is made
that the bakers will find it to their
advantage to develop special breads
containing higher percentage of
substitution for sale on these days.
The victory bread produced by the
Ashland bakers is toothsome Wand
and will be no hardship to substitute
in the place of entire wheat bread.

Potato Substitute
Now Used as Flour

Restaurant men, bakers, hotel man.
ayers and all others who expect to
use quantities of potato flour during
the war have been asked by State
Food Administrator w. B. Aver to
notify his office Immediately of the
amount that they will probably need.
This information Is being gathered
in order that the Beaverton mill, at
present the only potato flour mill in
this district, may be enlarged and
others started If the demand justi-
fies.
Already complaints have been re-
ceived at Mr.. Ayers office notifying
him that while grocers in general
have complied with the new regula-
tions governing the sale of flour and
substitutes, many mills in Oregon
have sold white flour at retail to in
dividuals without insisting that the
purchaser also buy substitutes equal
to one-third of the amount of white
flour sold. Regarding these practices
Mr.. Aver said:
81 wish to have it understood that
the regulations apply to millers as
well as to wholesale and retail mer-
chants and all other dealers in flour.
Severe penalties have been provided
sor violation of these regulations. and
1t is a well-known principle of law
that ignorance of the law is no ex-
cuse.
"The rules and regulations promul-
gated from this office will be as rig
orously enforced against the miller
and the feed dealer as egainst the
wholesale and retail merchant"

E0ver There at
Vining This Week

over There" big patriotic
drama with a real purpose, will he
presented at the Vining Theatre We'd
nesday and Thursday of this week.
The picture, which was made by the
Charles Richman Pictures Corpora
ton, is being hailed as one of the fin
est of the years productions, and its
cC-stars, Charles Richman and Anna
Q. Nilsson, set high standard in
motion picture characterization.
The story, briefly told, concerns
the lives of Monte Jackson and his
sweetheart, Betty Adams. Monte has
an inherent fear of bloodshed, and
when war breaks out sidesteps, on
one excuse or another, enlistment. In
time his friends question his excuses;
he is blacklisted at his club, finally
denounced as a coward, and dropped
by his set. Even his fiancee, in the
face of his continued evasions, loses
faith and breaks their engagement.
Only his mother stands by him.
Horrified at the position he occu-
pies, in revulsion of feeling Monte
joins the service. He is sent to
France, where Betty is already serv-
in" as a Red Cross nurse. Here he
works out his salvation, climbs back
into the love of friends and sweet
hearts, and covers himself with glory.
See the picture. 1t is the sort Of
thing that might happen to any one
of us. 1t is filled with human inter-
est, and appeals to the innate love
of country and flag in every loyal
American. 1t is a -blooded Ameri-

Teachers Scarce
Throughout State

In order that the Oregon Normal
School may know what to expect in
furnishing teachers to meet the state
demands, President Alderman is ask
ing all Oregon districts who will have
en- opening for a teacher next fall to
lay their needs before him at an early
date.
The alumni members also have
been asked by the president to help
gather information on the teacher de-
mand. Tile aim is to minimize the
difficulty in adjusting the supply to
the demand in the best possible man
ner before the fall sessions open.
The demand for teachers in coun-
try districts is marked and several
Oregon communities have been oblig-
ed to discontinue school because no
instructor is available.
