County Nurse Gives
Pupils Inspection

The county public health nurse,
Miss Jane Allen, has been spending
one day a week for the past three
weeks in the Hawthorne school CIV
ing the pupils q systematic inspec-
ticn. approximately 175 pupils have
been inspected, the primary pupils
rot having as yet all been examined.
Tthe inspection has gone very
smoothly. Superintendent Briscoe
and the teachers are giving Miss AL
len splendid cooperation and the
children are entering into the spirit
of the work to most helpful degree.
Notices from the nurse to the par
ents stating the results Of the exam
nations were sent home Wednesday
Parents we're advised to take their
children to their family physician or
dentist for diagnosis and treatment.
1t is hoped that those parents who
feel unable to do this for finansial
T, reasons will notify Miss Allen, as
such information win be of great as
sistance to her In her work for the
children.
Definite figures as to the findings
of the nurses inspection are not yet
available, but, generally speaking,
fully one-half of the children are in
need of dental care About one
fourth were suspected OF having alb
normal tonsils, Gather enlarged or
diseased; in a few cases the hearing
was being affected and the neck
glands were swollen Defective nasal
breathing seemed to exist in one
sixth of the children, and almost a
third evidenced eye defects.
Miss Allen wishes it clearly under
stood that her inspection is a nurses
inspection. She does not diagnose
nor does che prescribe treatment.
She simply acts as a lookout" for
signs of trouble that may not have
been suspected by teacher or par
ents. She will be very glad to meet
with any parents and talk with them
personally about their children, and
any one desiring to consult with her
will find her in the library Of the
Hawthorne school next Tuesday af-
ternoon between and 4 o'clock.

Will Ask Board to
Favor Bond Issue

At a meeting held in the cour.
house of Josephine county last week
to consider the matter Of irrigation,
the following proposition was out
lined:
The irrigation district has been
voted and organized and bond issues
for the Josephine and Gold Hill dis
tricts of $290,000 and 100000, re-
spectively. 1t is estimated that con-
struction will cost $35O,OO0. A bond
issue of about $50 per acre on a
probable value Of lands under the
district without water is now about
100000. This would only allow a
100000 bond issue to be certified
by the state at present. He suggest
ed that a committee wire the federal
reserve board at San Francisco to
urge favorable action upon this bond
issue.
A delegation was appointed to go
to San Francisco to personally inter-
view the federal reserve board on the
matter.

Ashland Boys Come
From Fighting Race

IF the war continues until spring,
I expect III have six boys in the serv-
ice," remarked A. c. Spencer few
days ago. 1.-TWO boys, Donald and
Guy, are already somewhere between
here and the western front in
France. James has given up his work
to the call, and three others are wild
to 20 and will do so when they see
the need. But / wouldn't have 1t
otherwise. It's hard to see them go,
but | would rather give them up,
every one, than to see Germany win y
Mr.. Spencer is himself veteran OF
the civil war and commander OF
Burnside Post, G. A. R., OF Ashland.
While his "A years debar him from
active service, he is again giving the
best he has to his country. II guess
the boys can't help It," he concluded.
Its in their blood to fight. There
have been Spencers in every Ameri-
can war since the Revolution, and
my boys inherit the spirit that
prompts men to answer their coun-
try's call when the need arises, "
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer have not
only given their boys to their coun-
try's service willingly and proudly,
but are giving their material help in
every way possible to them Mrs.
Spencer is a devoted worker in the
Red Cross, and no campaign has been
taken in Ashland to which they have
not been ready givers. Several days
ago they sent large consignment OF
books to one of the encampment
libraries which was one of many like
contributions made. When asked
how much longer the Spencers were
going to send books, Mr.. Spencer re-
piled, "As long as the boys want
them"

Fighting on the battlefront between
the Scarpe and the Oise having di-
minished greatly, except between AL
bert and Montdidier, allied forces are
being made ready for counter blow
against the Germans, whose strength
has given numerous indications OF
waning. General Foch, who played
q memorable role in stopping the first
German rush toward Paris and the
channel ports, has been given COM
mand of the British, French and
American armies in the present oper-
alton.
Repulsed in attempts to widen their
salient by pressing back the northern
and southern wings, the Germans
have driven forward in the apex Of
their wedge toward Amiens and are
now astride the Somme about 12
miles east of that important point.
Between the Somme and the Arve the
British have retired to line through
Hamel, Marcelcave and Neuviller
Just south OF Albert, however, the
British hold to the line of Ancre,
which makes a salient into the Ger
man line that may prove dangerous
to further enemy advance.
The French have completely
checked the Germans west of Mont
didier, and the enemy has not tried
to repeat his unsuccessful attempts
to force a passage over the Ooise east
of Lassigny. Between Montdidier
and Lassigny the French counter Of
fensive which took them into the out
skirts of Noyon Thursday continues
The wings of the German salient
are its weak points and the Germans
failed in their first attempts tC
strengthen them by capturing Arras
and crossing the Oise. AS the Ger.
mans press forward between Albert
and Montdidier without widening
their wings simultaneously, their po
sition becomes more hazardous. The
region about Arras and the line o.
the Disc offer two positions from
which counter blow intended to rol
up one side of the German wedge car
be launched.
To the north, along the British
front. the situation is virtually un
changed. In general, the British lin,
stood Saturday in almost exactly tn,
same position as Friday. At only ont
point, just above where the Frencl
and British lines join, did the Ger
mans make any advance, pushing ;
short distance up the Roye-Amien

Stores Decided on
6 O'clock Closing

At meeting of the Ashland Bus
ness Mems Association last week the
question of closing grocery stores
and general merchandise stores at 6
o'clock, beginning with April 1, was
pretty thoroughly discussed. by the
largest body of merchants that have
attended the association meeting re-
Gently, and finally a motion was
passed endorsing and agreeing on the
hour of p. m. as the hour at which
all stores should close their doors.
An agreement was later signed, with
the exception of drug stores, confec-
tionery stores, cigar stores, ETC., by
the following merchants that they
would observe the o'clock closing
hour.
The Saturday night closing hour
was discussed, and from reports OF
other towns in the state it seems they
are observing s and $3.50 p. m. as
the close of the Saturday working
day Finally motion was passed
agreeing that the hour for closing on
Saturday nights should be set at $3.50
O'Clock.
The idea of the merchants was to
make the closing hour uniform as
well as complying with the idea en-
bodied in the daylight saving law, of
giving people more time for cultivat-
ing their gardens and producing
more foodstuffs.
Those signing the above closing
agreement are as follows:

hereby agree to close our stores at
6 p. m. every evening excepting Sat

road in the direction of the latter
place and occupying the village Of
Mezieres and the hamlet of Maison
Blanche, just to the north.
The report that the Germans are
digging themselves in between Thiep-
val and La Boiselle in the region
north of Albert may be significant.
The possibility suggests itself that,
foiled in their attempt to drive a
wedge between the French and Brit
ish armies or effect break in the
allied line, the Germans may be max
ing an attempt to re-estsblish their
trench lines On the basis of their
present advance, either for defensive
purposes or as the jumping off point
for another plunge into entente terri
tory.
The line Of reported entrenchment,
however is only a little more than
three miles in length, and at present
the move is most likely to be judged
as a local measure for protection of
the town Of Albert.
The indicated line brings the Ger
man front at this point to just about
its position when the first battle OF
the Somme started in 1916.
