County Council to
Look After Stock

The county agricultural council
through the office of County Agent
Claude c. Cate is issuing little pa
per, known as the Jackson County
Agricultural Council News. The pa
per is proving a decided success. It
serves in getting the farmers to pull
together; it is a medium through
which the county agent and the coun-
ty council can reach the individual
farmer; it is used by the farmers to
advertise articles they wish to buy or
sell. The last issue contains four
pages of farm produce wanted and
for sale. Anyone interested may OBJ
tain the issues for March, April and
May free by writing to c. c. Cate,
Medford.
The county council can now assure
the farmers of Jackson county that
they will be able to ship their cattle
and hogs o-operatlVely, beginning
active shipping next fall and winter
when the bulk of the hogs and cattle
are ready for market. Growers
should plan to raise all OF the stock
possible. The council assures you
that you will receive within IA to
IL cents of the Portland prices for
hogs and within 1 4 to u cents of
the Portland prices for cattle.
Any farmers in the Ashland dis
trict having stock to market between
now and next October may be able
to arrange for prices within 2 cents
of Portland prices on hogs and y
cents on cattle. Communicate with
Albert c. Joy of Ashland some week
or ten days before you wish to sell, |
and efforts will be made to handle
your stock in car lots to Portland.

Health Nurse Can
Inspect Schools

Among the most important re-
quirements to which Miss Allen, the
newly appointed Jackson county
health nurse, can fill is that of school
inspector. While Oregon does not
require compulsory physical eXamin-
ations of the pupils in the public
schools, the Importance of this is be-
! ginning to be seen among educators
and school patrons.
Miss Allen is available for school
inspection work and will be glad to
cooperate with teachers in looking
over their pupils for the detection
of physical defects. The parents will
be notified of the nurses findings
and advised to take the child to the
family physician or dentist for dag
nosis and care. This notice will be
by sealed note so as to avoid any
publicity. No compulsion will he
used in this work Parents having
scruples against the inspection need
only send word to the teacher by
note and the child will be exempted.
Many defects of children are of such
insidious growth that the parents
have not realized their existence.
A loan closet is most convenient
part of the nurses equipment. Bed
ding (sheets, pillow slips, blankets,
towels (face and BATH,
wash cloths and old, soft linen of any
sort, all these should be on the
shelves. Nightgowns and nightshirts
Tor adults and gowns for children are
also needed. Layettes for new ba-
)ies are often acceptable, also hot
water bags, rubber rings for bed pa
tents and, in fact, anything that
would be of use in taking proper care
If the sick should he in the loan
loset for the nurses convenience.

Maccabees Adopt
Lonely Soldiers

When the troop trains from Fort
Stevens passed through Ashland last
Wednesday they were met at the sta
ton by the Ladies of the Maccabees,
who had prepared large baskets of
deicacies for them to help pass away
the tedum of their long journey, and
to be a reminder that the boys going
to the front are leaving many warm
friends behind them. Most of the
Ashland boys, however, were over
whelmed with gifts from relatives
and friends, but the members of the
Maccabees hunted out some who did
not seem to have relatives in this
community, There were a few who
were not so bountifully remembered,
and these were adopted by the lodge
members and presented with the bas-
kets of good things prepared.
This is to be the future attitude
of the Maccabees. When any soldier
boys passing through here have no
one particularly attached to them,
the lodge will Immediately adopt
them and give them a godspeed In
the way of choice box of provisions
or some such token of their good
wishes and interest The Maccabees
are enthusiastically patriotic in all
he lines demanded by the govern
nent, and will extend their patriot
SIN further in looking after any SOL
iier lads who have no near friends
o greet them in this vicinity.

Raids on West Front Increase;
Japan Situation Yet Unsettled

Raids of growing intensity and fire.
quency on the Franco Belgian front
are furnishing ther chief features of
military interest particularly IN view
OF the Increasing degree of American
participation in the fighting. Larger
issues, however, are involved in the
Russian situation, the uncertainties of
which are giving rise to manifold mil
tary and political complications.
The peace negotiations between
the Bolsheviki and the Germans seem
to have been broken off. Manifestly,
at ANY rate, there is developing among
the Russian proletariat, who with the
safety of the revolution as a rallying
cry, are reported to be responding
from all sides to support It.
Likewise the peace negotiations
between Rumania and the central
powers are reported in unofficial ad-
vices from Berlin to have failed. The
unsatisfactory reply of the Rumanian
king is said to have been responsible
for the break.
The German advance into the In
terror of Russia is in full swing again
with columns reported moving toward
Petrograd from Pskov and pushing
northeast along the railway from
Podolsk with the object Of cutting the
MoscOw-Petrograd railroad at Bolo-
sic, midway between the two cities,
and starving out Petrograd by shut
ting off its supplies.
In the south the Germans have
secured their immediate objective in
the Ukraine by occupying Kiev, the
capital of the republic, after a little
more than a ten-day march through
the country on the 200-mile route

Former Local Boy
I Will Go to Manila

Mrs. Laura Allen of Palm avenue
is looking forward to visit from her
son, William B. Allen, who is leav-
ing Washington, D. c., for Manila,
p. l., where he is being sent by the
government to fill an important COM
mission. This young man, who is
we'll known in Ashland, where his
boyhood days were spent, has made
rapid progress during the past six
and one-half years. At that time he
was one of the first to receive a gov
ernment appointment in the postal
savings department, where he had
served until in the fall, and during
that time had made many advance
ments.
On February 16 he was appointed
second lieutenant of the T. S. mill
tary force to go to the Philippines,
with instructions to start about
March /. In a recent letter to his
mother Lieut.. Allen states that he
will visit his sister, Mrs. Jeanette
Burkholder, in Portland, after which
he will come to Ashland to pay his
old home a farewell visit before leav-
ing for the Philippines. He expects
to leave San Francisco about April
5 on transport, the destination of
which will be Hawaii, Guam and
Manila.
Lieut.. Allen received his education
in the public schools of Ashland and
was the only member of his class to
receive scholarship from the eighth
grade for free tuition in the fresh
man year at the normal. He was a
member of the junior class at the
normal when the school was aban-
doned. Afterwards the young man
finished business course and was
employed as stenographer for the
Grants Pass Commercial Club when
he received his appointment in the
postal savings department in Wash
ington

New Home Cards
Have Been Issued

The new home card supplements,
together with some other literature,
have just been received from the fed
eral food administrator. All litera-
ture is being sent direct to the teach
er or principal in each school dis
trict. Three valuable leaflets are
folded about each home card, and
enough of these sets" are being sent
for distribution to every family re-
ported in the community. These
cards, with accompanying literature,
should be given to every family in
the district even though the head
of the house refused to sign pledge
card. Since the official report was
received a number of those in the
county who refused to sign, and
many who were reported as mot
SEEN" have sent in their signed
pledge cards. In fact, over 9S per
cent of all families in the county
have now signed these cards.
In the smaller district school chill
dren may be able to assist in reach
ing every home. This is good Red
Cross service. Except for the larger
towns, complete typewriter list Of
all heads of families is being sent
with the cards. This list was taken
from the pledge cards sent to oul
food administrator few weeks ago
and to the list has been added the
names OF those who refused to sign
and those not SEEN AS the cards are
distributed the names should be
checked and the checked list re-
turned to the county school superin-
tendent's office. A convenient frank
label or return envelope is also en-
closed with the cards and may be
used for returning checked list, sur
plus cards and other reports. No
postage is required. In case school
children or committeeman are un-
able to reach certin remote homes in
a district, please send their cards, to-
gether with checked list and report,
back to the superintendent office,
who will be glad to forward the cards
by mail.
In larger towns it will be impossi-
bic to check from a mailing list, and
to avoid confusion and duplication
the work should not be intrusted to
school children. Closely supervised
groups Of Boy Scouts, Honor Guards
or other groups of high school stu
dents may be assigned the work The
town should be divided into conven-
lent blocks or sections and the cap
tain OF each group held for results.

Girls See Soldiers
In San Francisco

D. II. Johnson received a letter
this morning from his daughter, Mrs
Pearl Dodge, who in company with
Misses Esther Whited, Horense Win
ter and Lucille Barber is attending a
school for telegraphy in San Fran
cisco, telling of meeting the Ashland
boys who were on the troop trains
passing through here last week. The
morning that this letter was written
Mrs. Dodge said the telephone rans
and she was surprised to hear John
Enders' voice, saying that the Ash
land boys were at the docks and
would like to see the girls from
home. Securing Miss Whited, they
hurried to the docks, where they
were walked through line after line
of soldiers, all from Oregon, before
they found those they knew. There
were 500 soldiers altogether, all lined
up, as the visitors supposed, to en-
bark.
Lieutenant Spencer was the first
to see us" Mrs. Dodge wrote, "and
he acted as if he were tickled to
death and nearly shook my hand off
{Then came John Enders, Wilfred
Carr, Meredith Beaver Everett Ack-
lin, Harold Simpson and a few others
barely knew. They were a lone
some bunch of kids and their faces
Just lightened up when they saw us.
Daddy, | never saw such a thrill
ing sight as those transports. They
are such big, beautiful wonderful
things. And to see all those 500
United States boys lined up was also
a wonderful sight. | just wanted to
be man and go along. | felt so
proud of every one of those boys and
shall surely breathe a prayer for
their safety. When one stands off
and looks at those big boats you COM
mence to realize what a terrible force
a torpedo must contain to sink it,
Nothing in the world could keep me
from going if | were a man.
THE boys talked of home, Of the
reception Ashland people gave them,
and seemed all to be in the best of
spirits. They knew so little of their
plans that many of them never knew |
they were in San Francisco until they
were marched up the street. Our
school is just across the street from
the Los Angeles depot and it hap
pened their train pulled in just as |
Hortense and Barb got there, and |
there was much handshaklng / did
MT know that the girls had seen them
until they came home tonight We
thought we would have big tale to
tell them, but they got to see the
boys"
Mrs. Dodge also stated that the
boys wanted them to let the Ashland
people hear that they had arrived in
San Francisco safely. She said she
never saw them look so well, and
that they were going to spend the
next afternoon with them.

 "One important thing to remember" Gen. Buck said, "is that our men went to Europe for the purpose of winning this war. You know the Germans have described the Americans as easy to kill, but very difficult to stop. And that is true.
 "We have lost a lot fmen, but that is necessary in war. The morale of our men always was superior or at least equal to any men the Germans ever faced.
 And this prominent fact stands out No American units ever lost foot of ground gained. That is, in the wavering. during battle fractions of the line might yield at times, but the Americans always stuck at the end of the battle to the furthest point they ever reached.
 { The First division, in which Gen. Buck held his command was composed of regulars, Gen. Buck said that it was not. he who gave the famous order to advance when the Trench advised a retreat. He said he thought it was Maj. Gen. Harbord. }
 He said that he and other generals were returned to this country, he un- derstood, because their experience had been thought necessary for the traln- ing of new troops, the orders having been issued before the armistice was proposed.
 Gen. Buck was gassed three weeks ago, just before he left the front line. And that is the only hurt he suffered during his seven months active par ticipation in the war.

Probably everyone has read about an officer wearing his leather put tess, his Sam Browne belt ond other distinguishing insignia of rank and armed with nothing but a riding crop leading his men in charge.
 We'll, that is exactly what Mai Gen. Beaumont B. Buck albright down to the riding crop, and with the added details of white collar and cuffs when he and his Second Brigade of the First American Division captur- ed Berzy-le-Sec last July 21.
 And that is why Gen. Buck says the New York World, who was a brigadier at Berzy-leSec, was wearing the Distinguished Service Cross of the United States, the Legion of Honor ribbon and the Croix de Guerre with a palm when he arrived in New York from France yesterday on the United States Army transport Harrisburg. And it is probably why he also was wearing on his shoulder two silver stars of a major general .,
 An officer with him said that Gen. Buck is the only American soldier of the rank of general who ever has been awarded either the Croix de Guerre or the Legion of Honor for conspicu- ous gallantry in action. Other gener- ols, have been awarded these decora- tions, but not for the same reason. Naturally, the most pressing, ques- tions asked Gen. Buck, who was seen in his rooms in the Hotel Astor, where he was resting for few hours before he started for Washington last night were about that historic strug- gle at Berry.
 Of course, the general and his bri- gade had captured Cantigny ond thus he had the honor of being the first American general to direct an organ ized attack against the Germans in the great war, and, of course, he had fought at St. Mihiel and had been with the conquering Americans when they smashed the very hinge of the German front-the Kriemhild line northwest of Verdun-but it was that { feat at Berry that fired the imagina- tion.S
 We had been fighting continuously 1 for four days" Gen. Buck said. Mar shal Foch started his counter-offe sive on July IS. We had made five attacks already. Seventy-five per cent of the commissioned officers of my brigade were casualties. and 90 pel cent of the enlisted men were killed or wounded when I received orders that Berzy-le-Sec must be taken al any cost
 ''I stayed up all night personally in- structing my officers. At S:30 a. m we went in. There were three waves And we took and held Berzy-le-Sec.

There were big things before it, but that ac- complishment was marvel, and the deciding factor The Germans were not alone ill their doubt of the possibility of getting 10000 men day into France for four long months. That's what was done, how ever, and the men in that vast contingent developed and main tained a morale second to no lighting men on earth.
