Y. w. c. A. Work
For Five Months

Five months ago the question
came swiftly and necessarily, What
are you going to do for girls in war
time?" Today the national board OF
the Y. w. C. A. has set under way,
through its war work council of one
hundred representatives, called to-
gether June to 8, program OF
work that makes reply to this ques-
tion possible.
Forty-six centers of work for girls
in communities adjacent to army and
ravy camps have been furnished with
sixty-five specially chosen workers
These have formed numerous clubs
and circles of younger girls who are
rallied to patriotic service through
channels of expression suited to their
youth and enthusiasm. Red Cross
activities, care for orphans OF Bel
gium and France, physical exercise
carefully supervised and directed
and a high code of dignity and honor
are proving safeguards to the dan
gers incident to the departure from
our usual social restraints, a condi-
tion due to war times.
A Junior war work council, as an
adjunct to the senior council, has
taken as part of its activities the pro-
motion of the Patriotic League.

Three Arrested On
Conspiracy Charge

George Hellmuth, a well-known
and prominent resident of Siskiyou
county, California, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Archie Crawford of Montague were
indicted by the United States grand
jury in Sacramento, charged with
conspiracy to defeat the selective
draft law. Warrants were served on
them last Friday. Hellmuth put up
$4,000 and Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford
81, 900 each. and they were released.
Eellmuth, who is of German descent,
according to the federal officers, has
been carrying on a German propa-
ganda in Siskiyou county. He is
charged with trying to block the Lib
erty Loan and conspiring to defeat
the draft.
Crawford is charged with having
conspired with Hellmuth to secure
hi3 exemption on dependency
charge, and his wife is charged with
having falsely sworn to exemption
of her husband. Crawford is man
agcr of Hellmuth's store at Monta-
cue, and his wife is also an employe
in the store. The man drew both
the salaries of himself and his wife
and filed a dependency charge. 1t
is claimed an agreement was drawn
up whereby Crawford was to receive
the wages of himself and his wife
under his own name.
These arrests are the outcome Of
an investigation made by Special
Agent George Hartz of the Depart
mcnt Of Justice, with headquarters
in Sacramento, following q report
that government activities in the
northern part of California were be-
ing blocked.

Points Named for
Potato inspection

was issued by the Oregon public serv-
ice commission today designating
Portland, Salem, Albany and Eugene
as potato inspection points for Ore
gon, with the provision that other
points may be designated as neces-
sary. It is held that the four points

the commission.
Inspections are to be made by the
service commission through its grain
inspection department. Chief Grain
Inspector Porter of the commission
is empowered to appoint deputy in
spectors at the designated points.
Representatives of potato growers
have put before the commission the
need Of inspection Of potatoes before
shipments are made for the protec-
tion of growers in marketing the
commodity. It is said that growers
have lost in California markets par
ticularly because of poor condition OF
potatoes upon arrival there.

Reconsider Action
On Sale Of Bonds

Mayor Lamkin not being satisfied
with the action of some members OF
the council in rejecting the bids for
the purchase of the $4,000 refund
ing bonds at the regular meeting Of
the council January 22, called a spec
ial meeting last night to reconsider
the sale of same and invited several
Of the local bank officials to be pres
ent to discuss the matter Of the error
on the part of those who voted
against selling the bonds on the bids
presented.
Mayor Lamkin and Councilmen
Lamb and Shinn strongly favored
selling the bonds, but for minor reas-
ons Councilmen Root, Banta and
Caldwell stood against the same at
the meeting when the bids were
opened. and in the absence of Coun-
Gilman Nininger they carried the vote
to reject bid which the other coun-
cilmen considered an error.
Council then decided to change the
bonds from optional to serial and
asked the bonding houses to wire bids
on serial bonds instead Of optional,
On receiving answers a special meet
ing of council was again called at
O'Clock this afternoon, when the
w.red answers were read. The Lum-
bermen's Trust Company made their
bid at par with accrued interest to
date, plus $40 premium. The next
hest bid was Morris Bros, who asked
q fee of $3.50. After discussion the
question was then put to vote and
the bonds we're unanimously awarded
to the Lumbermen's Trust Company.

Important Meeting
Held by Church Men

The Mems Social Service League
held meeting in the Presbyterian
church Tuesday evening at which a
number of the progressive church
men of the various congregations
throughout the city met and planned
vast amount of work for the fut-
IRE welfare of the community. Sew
eral important committees gave re-
ports Of projects under advisement
which will be worked up by the
league during the coming months,
and some important events in church
circles were exhaustively discussed.
Two interesting readings were
given, one by Rev. j. H. Van Fossen,
THE Son Thou Gavest Me-" and the
other Trail of Boy Travels" by r.
F. Campbell enlivened the meeting
and gave an inspiring touch to the
business before the assembly.
Among the committees who re-
ported was that composed by F. J.
Shinn and G. C. McAllister on the
observance of a national Father and
Son week, which will be held Feb.
II to II.
o. f. Carson of the Baptist church
was the chairman of a committee

dance. Along this line the league

Growing Disorders In Austria
Cause Peace Move Among Huns

With the reported amelioration In
the political unrest in Austria-Hun-
gary and continuation of silence as
regards the internal situation in Ger
many, the notable feature in the
world war is the apparent resump-
ton, on a somewhat large scale, Of
the military operations on the west
ern front.
Although for the moment these
operations, viewed from the cold
facts as announced by the various Of
fices, do not transcend in Importance
the usual small operations by raiding
and reconnoitering parties, reading
between the lines of the communica-
tons, it is not difficult to see that
the maneuvers now in progress on
various sectors are in the nature of
trying out processes of marked
character.
From the North sea to the Swiss
frontier the lessening in the rigors
of winter has permitted the belliger-
ents again to send forth their men in
enterprises which seemingly forecast
tine intention shortly to resume fight
ing activity more extensively.
For weeks the big guns along the
entire battle front have been roaring
ia intensive duels on numerous Sec
tors, but the infantry has lain idle
owing to the deep SHOWS and later to
the morasses which formed as ro
suit of the thaw.
On their extreme right in northern
Belgium the Germans have carried
out an important raid" They gain
ed a footing in French advanced
trenches east of Nieuport, but latei

Local Store Moved
To New Quarters

Wednesday morning as planned,
The Bargain Store, better known as
Fergusons S to the thousands OF Ash
land shoppers, opened fer business in
their new store. Judging / en- the
throng of customers that swarmed to
and fro and the many compliments
heard, no doubt this store bids fair
to become the most popular store Of
Ashland. Coming as they did, just
seven years ago, they opened a small
store 20x60 in the Camps building.
BY their low cash prices and selling
cnly dependable merchandise and
courteous treatment of their custom
ers they we're soon forced to double
their space, and took the adjoining
room, of the same size. This only
answered their purpose for few
years more, and their new room cor
ner of Pioneer avenue and Main
street, 80 by 100, with full cement
basement, is now their new home.
All this in seven of the poorest years
the valley has ever known, when
complaints were frequent in regard
to business conditions in general, II
goes to show that honest efforts and
fair dealing win their favor and pa
tlonage.
Dry goods, hosiery and underwear,
ladies and gents furnishings are the
lines carried by this firm, and their
slogan, Every day is bargain day at
Ferguson's Bargain Store" seems a
winning one.

meeting Tuesday night at which the
principal business before the body
was the action on the bids for Ash
lands S56,500 general obligations

presented, but all were rejected.
These bids are as follows:

council Wednesday night it was de-
cided to reconsider the rejection oi
all bids on the bonds, and the record
er was ordered to ask the bidders tc
refile their offerings.

Northwest Hit
By S-HOur Day

Lumber producers and logging op-
orators were given what they call a
solar plexus shock yesterday morn
ing on learning that President VIII
son intends to issue proclamation
fixing an eight-hour work day in log
cing camps and saw mills through
out the Pacific northwest without ap-
pIying the same regulation to pro-
ducers in the southern states or even
ia California. Issuance of the execu-
tive proclamation is reported to have
teen determined upon at the conclu-
sion of conferences between the de-
rartment of labor the federal ship
ping board and other government
agencies as means of preserving
harmony in the lumber industry" and
to expedite production of fir for
ships and spruce for airplanes.
A meeting of members of the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association will
he held at Seattle Friday, when 1t is
likely that something of interest to
producers will be announced. 1t is
understood it will be reported at this
meeting that recently a delegation
from the association was at the ma
tional capital, where they had the
question up for consideration with
department officials, and the assur-
ance was given that no discrimina'
tion would be made against the Pa
cific northwest and in favor of the
southern states in applying an eight
hour work day in logging and lum'
bering. 1t is even declared that Sam
uel Gompers, the administration
adviser on organized labor problems
took stand on the side of the Pa
cific northwest lumbermen.
One of. the new features injected
into the latest discussion over the
question of a regional eight-houl
workday is the constitutiOnality of al
executive order requiring a shorter
workday for Oregon and Washington
lumber producers without applying &
similar requirement to other states
where ten and eleven hours for
basic day prevail at lower wage scale!
than here, thus giving distinct ad
vantage to southern producers oyel
the forest products of the Pacifi
northwest in competitive markets.

Beleview Chapter
To Sew for Belgians

The Belleview chapter of the Red
Cross has taken up the work of max

next month or so. The patterns for
these garments have arrived and sew

old normal building for workroom
