quires the spending of taxes for all those purposes of sanitary and whole some community life which no family however rich, can control individuality.
 But beyond this necessary regula- tion, all the charity, all the wise phil anthropy. even all the profound re- search of public and private effort are as tinkling cymbal in producing d healthful population when compared with the efficacy of a decent income.
 Indeed, the chief value of such re- search as that of the children's bureau series of studies of infant mortality is to prove the necessity of an income permitting proper degree of care and comfort for parents and children to- gether at home.
 The family is a unit and it can only flourish as a unit If mothers go out to work. leaving young babies, these babies die at twice the rate of those whose mothers are able to stay at home and take care of them. Older children get into mischief without q mother at home. There can be no federation of wage scales for men that compel women to help earn money to support young children.
 school luncheons are admirable as a feature of a school curriculum or even as an occasional needed eXperi- mcnt in nutrition. They are sadly preposterous as a substitute for proper food for children at home.
 The English reports on the number Of school meals furnished show that, as wages have improved since the War, this number has greatly lessened, evil dently because parents prefer to have their children eat with them at home if they can provide the food.
 T would rather see a beautiful young woman blaspheming God today than eating cake made of flour" said Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the food com missioner before the fourteenth bien- nial convention of the General Feder- ation of Women's Clubs.
 And. furthermore said Mrs. Hoo- yer. there may not be so much TO- nance in it, but the American girl who drives a delivery wagon making neces- sary deliveries is today helping her country win the war just as much as if she were driving an ambulance on the battlefields of France.

 Tribute to the Press
 "Won.en of the press. your country needs your skilled services as writers. That is the message I bring you from the war camp community service, that division of the war and navy depart ment commission on training camp activities that is the authorized agency of the secretary of the navy and the secretar yof war to organize hospitality and provide wholesome recreation for our soldiers and sailors in the commu- mites near the camps" said Mrs. Will jam Atherton DePuy, representative of the war camp community service, to the women of the press, at the lunch con of the division of the press of the Federation of Womens Clubs. Follow ing Mrs. DePuy described the Wondsr- full work done by this division of the commission on training camp actlYl- ties, and told the press women how each in her locality could cooperate and serve this work, which the govern ment has declared to be a military and social necessity.
 In conclusion, Mrs. DuPuy said, T know you women of the press have al- ready done a great part in standing by your country in this crisis but your services are so needed in this work we once more call upon you. Con- ingsby Dawson, the brilliant English writer says in his war book, Garry On," that there is no glory of gay C. T s,. l,1 trenches. The war will be won by tired men with packs on their backs, who carry on. There is no glory and public applause for the woman who sits behind the typewriter by the hour giving the truth of this great struggle to the world. But I hope that it will be said when the war is over that it was won by tired women with patriot ism in their hearts, who carried on"
 Miss Rankin Speaks
 Miss Jeannette Rankin. of Montana, the only woman member of congress, addressed the convention on the sub ject of At the Front With the Women. She reviewed the work of the women at large in all patriotic undertakings, but paid particular attention to the other class of American women, the toilers who she said must be given much consideration at this time when new responsibilities were being added to her.
 Wherever a company employs a woman" she said, it must be made to understand that she 1t not only a worker but woman, and an actual or potential mother: and the adjustment of the woman worker to industry, and | industry to the woman worker must be made with intelligence and jus | tice. This adjustment, neglected 1T peace time, to our loss, can not be postponed in war time, for the su. preme test of endurance is upon us.' And the woman worker herself must come to understand that she is not only a wage earner but that she 1 is a social factor, a citizen and a soldier.

FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS

The local canteen station has been
notified by District Director G. w.
Pursell of Seattle to prepare for
many months OF active service for
the tack of aiding and advising over
seas troopers when they return. The
work before this branch Of Red Cross
service is due to be greater than any

that has ever been made.
Director Purcell recommends the
immediate appointment and special
training of at least two canteen MEM
bers for flrst-aid experts, to be con-
stantly on duty and to serve during
the homeward movement OF troops
from overseas. Hundreds Of wound
ed and disabled soldiers and many

at every canteen.
The canteen managers are plan
ming to provide the returning SOL
diers with home made cookies during
the holiday season, and desire the
housewives in Ashland to assist in
extending this courtesy by helping to

THANKSGIVING SIMPLY
OBSERVED IN ASHLAND

Thanksgiving was observed in Ash
land quietly this year, but with a
greater feeling of rejoicing than had
ever been felt by the residents be-
fore, due to the fact that the holiday
followed closely upon the event so
long hoped for by the American peo-
pie, the cessation of hostilities, and
the announcement that the boys may
soon be returned home. Union SER
vices were held among a number OF
churches while other denominations
gave thanks in their own houses Of
worship. Family dinners and re-
unions of old-time friends and neigh
bors were the general order of the
day. An unusual feature was the
white Thanksgiving" that prevailed
this year. The snowfall Of the Tues
day previous continued to cover the
ground and added to the holiday as
pect.
