Junior Red Cross
Started In Schools

Each of the school buildings has
perfected its organization Of Junior
Red Cross auxiliary. Work upon
surgical material and relief for chill
dren will begin as soon as material
can be assembled, In order that the
children may work efficiently, ma
terial must be secured. Much of the
material for the relief of Belgian
and French children can be secured
in the homes of Ashland.
At this time the schools are max
ing an appeal for old dresses and
skirts, flannelette garments, coats
and trousers, mems flannel shirts,
scraps of outing flannelan old table
linen. Anyone having such material
will help the schools to get under
headway in this relief work and at
the same time help those who are
very needy in getting the necessary
garments to make them comfortable.
All this material must be clean in
order to be used.

Would Exempt All
Neutral Aliens

Washington, Feb. 16.-Amend-
ment to the draft law so as to ex-
empt citizens or subjects of neutral
countries who have declared their
intention to become American citi-
zens is proposed in a bill prepared
by the war department in conjunc-
tion with the state department and
introduced today by Chairman Dent
of the house military committee.
Secretary Lansing revealed that
many neutral countries already have
made insistent protests against con-
scription Of their nationals, causing
embarrassment to the government; !;
that the president has found it ex-
pedient for international reasons to
discharge from the army neutral ma
tionals under certain circumstances,
and that the present law has been
used abroad as a medium of irrita-
tion by enemy propagandists.

Southern Oregon
To Aid In Struggle

Gold Hill, Ore, Feb. 16.-With the
government facing the necessity of
providing ships to bring 175, 900 tons
of chromite from New Caledonia,
southern Oregon will do its bit to
relieve the situation by producing
100000 tons of chrome ore in 1918.
This is a conservative estimate made
by the engineers in charge of the
principal mines in this region, and
there is a possibility of a larger pro-
duction if the operators can obtain
labor and equipment to develop and
operate other deposits.
This will bring into Jackson and
Josephine counties more than ST.
900, 900, and, in a mineral way, is the
most valuable asset of the counties.
The Waldo district will lead with the
major part of this production, while
the district on the main line of the
Southern Pacific railway between
Ashland and Leland will contribute
the rest.
There are many unprospected areas
of chrome-producing serpentine in
southern Oregon, and the fact that
bodies Of chrome deposits in this sec
tion, while not so numerous as in
California, are larger and more per-
sistent, should encourage the pros
pector.

Rabies Killing
Klamath Cattle

That rabies are becoming preva-
lent in the klamath Marsh region of
the klamath Indian reservation is the
word brought here this week by Len
Royse, who has been down for some
time, says the klamath Falls Rec
ord. Mr.. Royse says Beckley Broth
ers have lost nearly dozen head
from this cause recently and fear is
felt thereabouts that this malady may
become serious. The Beckley place
adjoins the Royse place, and while
he says he has lost no stock so far,
he has killed all the dogs and cats
belonging to the place as precau-
tion.
His description of the actions of an
animal when 1t becomes i'll from
rabies is somewhat interesting. He
says the first intimation of the dis
ease is shown by the animal becom-
ing relestless, switching its tail and
walking about the field in which it
happens to be, with its head thrown
up. Later it begins to bawl and
froth at the mouth. When it reaches
this stage it gets its head higher in
the air and begins to roam around,
breaking into run much of the
time. Every object near that has
life or shows any movement 1t will
attack savagely. After a day or so
it finally becomes so weak 1t can stay
on its feet no longer and the end
comes swiftly.
In one instance an animal suffer-
ing from this malady attacked four
horse team driven to a hay wagon
by rancher in that vicinity, but as
it was dehorned, little damage re-
suited to the team The stockmen
and ranchers thereabouts carry
rifle on their wagons or saddle horses
when going about their work. This
is a precaution against attacks by
rabid cattle.

Fathers and Sons Meet and Dine
At Banquet Given In Their Honor

David Whittle, a high school boy,
scored highest in the evenings events
by the toast, Our Dads" He was
followed by Rev. H. c. Carnahan,
who talked on Father and Son
Partnership" in. which he showed
how to develop the corporation be-
tween the boy and his father. The
Methodist male quartet, consisting
of Dr.. O. F. Tilton, DR.. G. w. Gregg,
G. H. Yeo and Ernst Minuth, sang
"The Stainless Flag" after which w.
E. Wright, acting interstate secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. C. A., gave an IL
lustrated lecture on the Y. M. c. A..
work in the cities, on the railroads
and in the construction camps, and
gave an excellent idea of the effect
i've work of the organization in army
camps.
Pathetically noticeable at this din
ner were the number of vacant
chairs which were filled last year by
those who are now in army camps
waiting for the call to go to the
front. These are Oliver Anderson,
Meredith Beaver, Edmond NJ Bar
rett, Donald Dickerson, Gerald E.
Gunter, Aubrey Redifer, Frank and
Dwight Tinker, Robert Keller, For
est and Guy Wolcott, Ora E. Sullivan
and Granville Dalzell. Sergeants H.
G. Wolcott and H. o. Butterfield
were also present last year as faith
ers. A letter was written to each
one of the absent ones and signed
by the participants of the present
dinner. Letters were also sent to
Ivan B. Rose, state Y. M. C. A. sec
retary, now in France, and to Rev.
G. A. Phipps.
Another touching sentiment was
presented when all fathers who have
boys in the service were asked to
stand. Twenty fathers responded,
and a red carnation was pinned on
the lapel of their coats. One soldier,
Ed Wolcott, was present and was also
decorated with a carnation, as was
Phil Wolcott, who, although yet a
young boy, has father, two brothers
and an uncle, all serving with the
Ashland company, and is now left the
head Of the family.
The dinner closed with the COM
pany standing and singing Amer
ica," accompanied by Mr.. Cochran
on the cornet and Mrs. Van Fossen
on the piano. The men who were
instrumental in giving this dinner
are particularly appreciative to the
women who assisted in making it the
unqualified success that attended
their efforts.

Ashland High On
Basketball Tour

neyed to Roseburg Friday, where
they met defeat at the hands of the
latter's high school team Friday
night by score of 35 to 29. At the
end of the first half Roseburg's score
stood 21 against s for Ashland.
Thinking Ashland an easy mark, the
Roseburg boys showed up during the
latter half and Ashland scored at
about the same ratio as their oppon-
ent, but the advantage gained by
Roseburg in the first half enabled
them to carry off the game.
Saturday the Ashland players won
at Grants Pass with score of 29 to
26 in an interesting game that was
closely contested from start to fin
ish. Ashland's lineup for the games
was as follows: Bryant and Pro-
vost, forwards; Bemis and Campbell,
guards; Osborn, center. The boys
returned home Sunday evening.

Labor Shortage
Cause for Worry

Unless something is done to relieve
the labor shortage, there will be a
smaller acreage undeH cultivation
this year than in 1917 And this
comes at a time when the food ad-
ministration is urging increased
acreage and greater production, in
order that staples can be sent to the
troops abroad.
The food situation in Oregon is
dependent to great extent upon the
question of labor, and with labor
scarce this not only will curtail the
output but will increase the cost.
The war gardens in the cities will
have to be worked even more indus
triously than a year ago.
There are two distinct causes for
shortage Of labor on the farms Of
Oregon. One is the army and navy
and the other is the high wages paid
by the shipbuilding industry in Port
land. Each Of these factors has
made deep inroads on the young men
who have heretofore been engaged
in farming occupations.
A large percentage of the enlist
ments in the navy produced in Ore
gon came from the farms, and the
same is true Of the enlistments for
the marine corps, the regular army
and the national guard. These or
ganizations absorbed thousands of
young farmers. The draft would
have taken more only that Oregon's
quota under the selective draft was
very small oFing to the great enlist
ments priors to the first selective
draft.

Germany mas suddenly FOUND her-
self involved in maze of difficulties
on the eastern front and is in danger
of losing all the large benefits she
was calmly preparing to realize from
her peace with the Ukraine and the
Bolshevik withdrawal of Russia from
the war
Poland, that land which so fire.
quently in the course of history has
proved thorn in the side of military
conquerors, is threatening to consti
tute herself the rock on which the
German hope of peace and gainful
expansion in the east may be shat
tered. Embittered by the tearing off
of strip of their territory to be
given the Ukraine for breaking away
from the Bolsheviki and signing
peace with the central powers, the
Poles are in what appears to be vir-
tually a state of revolt.
Even the very weapon which Ger
many and Austria were at such pains
to forge in the hope of deriving mill
tary benefit-the Polish army-bids
fair to be turned against them. Re-
ports in the German newspapers,
which express dismay and alarm over
the Polish situation, indicate that the
Polish legions, now an effective mill
tary force, are on the side of the
prevalent Polish sentiment Of bitter
ness against the central allies. The
situation has grown so bad that the
military are patroling the streets in
Warsaw.
Austria-Hungary is particularly
involved in the difficulties because
of the prominent part which it was
expected she would play in the flu
ture government of Poland. The
Polish elements and those sympathiz-
ing with them in the dual monarchy
are up in arms over the situation
and further internal troubles are
threatened
Turning to the north, 1t has al
ready been reported that Germany
purposes resuming military opera
tons against northern Russia, and
this report gains color by the an
nouncement that the commissions
representing the central powers at
Petrograd have left the Russian cap
ital and passed within the German
military lines. The probable Ger
man purpose to attack the Bolsheviki
is also indicated in Vienna dispatch
declaring that If Germany decided to
resume military operations against
Russia the attitude of Austria"
would be influenced thereby. This
would seem to mean that Austria in
tends to leave Germany to fight the
battle alone in north Russia Wheth-
er she hopes to keep up connections

Large Amount Is
Saved by State

Salem, Ore, Feb. 16.-Judge T. F.
Ryan, assistant state treasurer, said
today that during last year the state
treasury department collected $32,-
2S3.S4 in interest upon state depos-
its.
This is an increase of 20S per
cent over the year 1909, and it dem
onstrates that the law requiring the
payment of interest on deposits and
the passage of which was procured
by State Treasurer Kay is one of the
most beneficial pieces of legislation
ever enacted. This sum is more than
twice the amount required to con-
duct the treasury department, which
is $13,S92.62."
