" composed of r. H. Applegate, wife,
two children and father. These peo-
pie were taking pleasure trip from
Lake county, California, through this
section, and stopped off here, where
the attraction of Ashland drew them
10 prolong their stay for over two
weeks.
Mr.. Applegate said that the longer
they stayed here the more infatuat-
ed they became with Ashland's park
and water. Nowhere on their tour
had they struck the camping accom-
modations that they had obtained
here, with the lights, good water,
cooking facilities and many other
conveniences provided at hand.
This park is the most beautiful
Ilace we have ever seen," both Mr.
and Mrs. Applegate declared. THE
mineral waters are OF such excellent
Guality, and the more one imbibes
The more one wants. We have been
ir many parks on our way here from
California, but nowhere have we
struck such fine camping facilities IS
right here in Ashland"
The Applegates were also particu-
iarly pleased with tho friendliness
shown them by the people of Ash
land. Many callers had visited their
camp and showed them many cour-
tesies during their STAY here. That
spirit of friendliness impressed the
visitors very much with Ashland's
Gesirability as a residence city.

Writing from an English port to a

 what thrilling account of life on an American destroyer. He says:
 Naval rules prohibit me from mentioning my boat, also must Dc
 silenced any reference as to ouis sea zone of operations or individual ac- complishments until duly authorized by certain officer of publicity. l will say, however, that we have been doing some business in the past seven months. and previous letters, together with published facts, will give you some idea of what a strenuous line of acton IS going on to get at the Hun undorsea scrpcnts. ] am in the en- zine room, but have pretty good icea of what is taking place from tips passed down to us from the deck
 Also there IS the vibration of guns on top, and 1t Is simply wireless to tell Us of something doing above. My boat does 3 knots. and we must be highly clasScd in efficient action from the silent manner in which we are so often greeted as we hove into this port with old and young, women and men, openly offering us anything to please. and greeting us with admir- ing expressions. But we cannot talk about any sea stunt, as it is a case of keeping spies away from our trail. l want to tell you it is sur prislng what information leaks out of this country and is filtered through to Germany by different routes. So caution IS the watchword, and all of us are warned to solemnly respect orders from superior officers. This principle is right, for by observing it even my life is at stake. This war life after all is filled with a fascina- ! ton 1 never dreamed of, and when . orders come to shift the speed a knot more, and is increased to full limit, we know there IS something doing. It is a case of anxiety and alarm, but we all have no fear. My boat has
