POTATO DEALERS REFUSE
SHIPMENTS AND GET IN BAD

Several dealers in potatoes have re.
fused to receive shipments lately and
as a result the Food Administration
for Oklahoma has recommended to
the National Food Administration
that their licenses he revoked
The main complaint made by the
firms was that potatoes had advanced
in price since the orders were placed,
In some instances .,ealers maintained
that the shipments were not in good
condition; in such cases the Food Ad.
mlnistration offered to determine the
amount OF damage, and this offer was
accepted
Potatoes are valuable article Of
diet now since the wheat supply is
limited None will be permitted to
rot on the sidetracks by dealers who
desire to return the shipments on ac-
count of rise in price

FOOD BRIEFS

Pontotoc county has twenty-five
painted food signs, lumber and work
being donated by local citizens.
The Food Administration has seized
considerable wheat that was being
boarded in Arizona.
Oklahomas drive on the jsck-rab-
bits has caused as much comment in
the east as anything she has done in
ths way OF aiding the food program.
We need not have concaye front
so long as there are plenty Of good
substitutes in this state
The simple life Is also the patriotic
one nowadays.
When you sit down to a meal think
OF the allies who Withstand Zeppelin
raids and lie down with empty stom-
schs.
Hand down to your posterity the
heritage that you helped in this great
var by saving food to feed the soE
diers and the allies.

Visiting Nurse Is
Offered County

An offer has been made to Jackson
county by the state tuberculosis
league, wherein it is proposed to sen1
to the county trained and thorough
~ competent public health nurse for
a period of three months or more, to
inaugurate systematic compaign for
disease prevention. The offer is the
outgrowth of realization, to which
workers who have been fighting the
great white plague have come, that
there is only one way in which that
disease can be more successfully COM
batted than by conserving and build
ing up the general public health.
There is further purpose of a gen.
eral service to community, by fur
nishing trained and competent help,
advice and direction, to those, espec-
tally mothers, who are, or think they
are, unable to hire professional atten-
tion.
1t is planned to put into effect in
Jackson county a thorough demon
stration of good that such nurse
can accomplish She will be subject
to call by all citizens, on all sorts of
health service, preventing epidemics,
watching patients after doctor has
teen dispensed with, advising and
teaching proper hygienic methods
wherever her services are welcome.

Virgil HaWley Is
Safe In France

The family of Corporal Virgil
Hawley, who is a member of Com
pany F, 29th regiment of engineers,
foresters, were much alarmed when
tidings came of the sinking of the
transport Tuscania, for fear he was
aboard. Company F or the foresters
was listed as sailing on this ship,
together with Companies D and E
and quartermaster's company. A
telegram was received later, howev-
er. stating that Corporal Hawley
lad sailed som tine before and is
already safe in France Company F
is so large that it had been divided,
one company leaving several weeks
ago and the other being on board
the ill-fated transport. Accompany
ing Corporal Hawley are Donald
Puckett and Frank Allen, also of
Ashland.
The goth engineers is the largest
regiment in the world, although only
one battalion was on the Tuscania.
The aggregate siren til is 1900 Of
ficers and men. The work of this
regiment, which was raised with the
active cooperation of the American
Forestry Association, is to cut tim
her in the French forests for military
uses at the fighting front, for hos
pitals, Y. NJ. c. A. buildings and
other purposes.
Corporal Hawley is the son of V.
". Hawley, who lives near Ashland,
and the brother of DR.. Maud l. Haw-
ley.

Mayor Lamkin'S Proclamation
Issued for Father and Son Week

Mindful that there is now greater
occasion than ever before to cement
the bonds of fellowship between
fathers and sons, the Y. NJ. c. A. off
cials and Governor James Witty
come have set aside the period Of
February 11-17 to be observed as
Father and Son week, and / am in
deed glad to commend the idea to
the hearty support of the patriotic
people of Oregon.
Oregon has thus far furnished
twenty thousand of the flower of its
young manhood to the service of our
country in the worlds great cata-
clasm. Just as these noble boys who
have already shouldered solemn re-
sponsibilities for this nation and for
the world are entitled to our constant
thought and prayer, so their younger
brothers at home deserve the fullest
possible measure of parental encour-
agcment and counsel. 1t is through
the hearts of our young people that

Many Oregon Men
On Board Tuscania

From the available list of surviv-
ors of the ill-fated transport Tus-
clnia that was torpedoed and sunk
last Tuesday are the names of III
men from Oregon and Washington.
This list will probably grow as re-
turns come in. OF these two from
Ashland are mentioned, Second Lieu
tenant Daniel w. Parker and Fred
e. Snyder. These with Virgil Haw-
ley, who is supposed to have been on
board the Tuscania, are all so far as
can be learned who were sailing on
this ship. Other survivals from near
by towns are Shannon E. Oliver of
Phoenix, Edward F. Parker OF Grants
Pass, Joe R. Redfield of Glendale,
William B. Curtis and Sidney w.
Bernitt of Marshfield.

to be communicated to posterity.
Never in all history have the
young men been called upon for such
important work, and never have indi-
cations been surer that the young
men'of today are to be accorded tre-
mendous opportunities as they grow
into manhood. Therefore | urge the
adult men of Oregon to call their
boys and the boys from other homes
tn their firesides and there impress
upon them an appreciation of their
responsibilities, and tell them in a
friendly way how deeply we are in
terested in them and how much we
are depending upon their mental,
moral and physical fiber. Fathers
Of Oregon, ask your boys to study the
life Of the immortal Abraham Lin
coin, whose birthday is to be OBJ
served on the second day of Father
end Son week, and try to inspire
them to pattern their lives after his
example. G. B. LAMKIN,

Father and Son
Dinner Planned

National Father and Son week, be-
ginning today and lasting until Feb
ruary IS, will be observed generally
throughout the country by the Y. NJ.
G. A. and the various churches in the
land The movement originated with
the Y. NJ. C. A. several years ago,
hut soon got too big for the associa-
tion to handle alone, so it was taken
up by many other societies auxiliary
to the churches. The purpose of the
observance is to develop intimate,
sympathetic relationship between the
boy and his father. The present year
is particularly fitting to observe Faith
er and Son week, when many home
ties are sundered by the absence Of
boys in the training camps to prepare
for the nations conflict, and the i'm
pcrtance of sons to get in closer
touch with their fathers was never
felt quite SO keenly before.
The week will be observed in Ash
land by dinner given by the Mems
Social Club of the churches, to which
all boys of the teen age in the Sun
day schools of the city and their faith
ere will be invited to participate.
This dinner will follow much along
the lines established for the first time
last year, when 1S4 were present at
the banquet given by this club. Ar
rangements are in the hands of eff
cient committees which are as fol-
lows:
Program-Dr. Gordon MacCracken,
Prof. G. A. Briscoe, o. F. Carson.
Dinner-W. d. Hodgson, w. w.
Caldwell, j. w. Haskns, H. c. Galley,
G. r. Slngerland, Clark Bush, H. p.
Holmes.
Decorations and Arrangements
Dwight Gregg, Stewart Hast, Fred
Cochran, Lee Peachey, Lyle Sans.
The dinner will be held in the
Methodist church Friday evening at
6:30. All boys in the teen age with
their fathers are most earnestly So
licited to como and get acquainted.
Many boys are embarrassed over the
idea of dining out with father, and
the motive of this dinner is to let
thcm find out what a really good fell
low father is, and to realize that the
son means more to the father than
he has ever dreamed. The commit
tees will have all necessary arrange
ments completed during the week
and the event promises to be one of
the most delightful social affairs ever
eiven in the city.
