WouldLike TO Spend
Fourth In Ashland

Prof. II. G. Gilmore had occasion
the other day of sending to one of
Ashland's later citizens fine collec-
tion of the strickly up-to-date photos
of our really fascinating city, and
the recipient of the same, with his
customary good taste, returns in
grateful terms and, at the same time,
has a few advisory words to offer
about Ashland's prospective Fourth
of July celebration:
Il want to thank you and Mrs. Gil
more." says this San Francisco cor
respondent, very much for your
kindness in placing this volume in
my hands, because | have not been so
provided with views of Ashland since
you let me have the picture cards
when the park enterprise was first
established. have been able to show
the book to quite few people here
who wish they had something like
it nearer home, as fascinating spot
where they could spend July 4th,
amid such surroundings. But, land
it cannot but be regretted), Mr.. Nc
Adoo has raised the railroad rates to-
such a figure that most of us will
only be able to get as far as Berke-
ley this summer, and that long way
from Ashland. But perhaps some en-
terprising citizens may start up a jit-
ney bus or two, and in that case you
may expect crowd.
Il saw and heard William Jennings
Bryan in San Jose today and if any
body can draw crowd he is the in
dividual. Citizens of Ashland, get
your jitneys together and go after
Bryan with no uncertain determina-
tion, and you'll never regret it."

FRENCH OFFICER WARNS
AGAINST PEACE OFFICER

Lieutenant Perigord, the distingu-
ished French army officer who re-
Gently addressed a capacity audience
in Portland's mammoth auditorium,
made special point of warning the
American people against the menace
of premature peace.
Because of their anxiety to have
the war ended, he said, many per-
sons might be inclined to listen to
peace proposals instigated by Ger
many, directly or indirectly.
Germany has already attempted
peace negotiations more than once, "
said Lieut.. Perigord, "and she will
again. But just as soon as you lis
ten to any of her peace proposals,
you will be playing into the hands
of the enemy, and this war will have
to be fought over again when GeI-
many has recouped her losses and
had time to prepare again. | warn
you that if you enter into any peace
negotiations with Germany, you will
surely be little Red Riding Hood ne
gotiating with the wolf"
Russia, he said, had already had 4
little sample Of German peace nego-
tiations and anyone following the for
tunes of Finland can see the Hun ne
gotiations working out.

The home service of the local Red
Cross work is quietly, under Mrs.
Bosloughs efficient management,
growing and thriving. This branch
of the service, because of its confid-
ential character, avoids any great
amount of advertising; but, to any
soldiers family, Mrs. Boulough's Of
flee and advice are freely open. Her
office is at her home and her hours,
as previously stated, are Tuesdays
from to and Wednesday fore
moons, when she will gladly answer
any questions as to allotments, or
help and advice, in any way desired.
The big idea back of the Red Cross,
viz. universal friendliness. is no
where better exemplified than in this
home service work, the aim of which
is to act as guide, counselor and
friend to the families of our fighting
men. Just as the Red Cross is "Big
Brother" to the men in the trenches,
1t wants to be Next Neighbor" to
their folks at home; and, without
a suggestion of patronage, to render
them all assistance possible.

The food administration is not
busy-body, searching for opportuni-
ties to interfere in industry and in
trade. Its sole preoccupation is, so
far as is physically possible, to soften
the shocks of war so that the food
supplies of our allies and of our own
people may be maintained, and so
that, at the same time, our essential
Industries may be guarded, as far as
possible. against dislocations and in
juries that would be reflected with
disastrous results throughout our in
dustrial structure.

4 RedCroSS
Activities

N' The Red Cross numbers, no more
ardent patriots among its members
than the little citizens" belonging
to that new American army, millions
strong, the Junior Red Cross. How
deeply these little men and women
feel their responsibility was shown
lately at Marshtown, Iowa, when, in
answer to the question, "How can
help win the WARP" so individual
children of the grade schools sug-
gested making such personal sacri-
fices as these:
Do mothers work so she can knit;
sell papers and buy my own clothes;
go without candy and gum; sell old
iron for the Red Cross; eat sorghum
instead of sugar; keep well, so as to
save doctor bills; go without any tur-
key Thanksgiving; stop going to pic
ture shows.
One very devoted boy even propos-
ed to stop using bean shooters, while
an embryo Edison considers his bit
to make inventions for fighting.
Behind each of these answers stands,
evidently, sturdy-hearted young pa
triot, whose quick sympathies have
been fired by that emblem of mercy
and badge of sacrifice, the Red Cross.
Right here in Ashland we have had
many evidences of this same fine
spirit among our school children and
those enthusiastic leaders in this
great children's crusade, our school
teachers. Fun books by the dozen,
knitted wristlets and small sweaters,
refugee garments, hospital supplies,
and war gardens, may all be men
toned as local products of this new
thought for others. One Of the latest
tokens of such unselfish devotion was
received this week from the pupils
of the lower Soda springs school,
check for $50, the proceeds of an
ice cream social given by the child
rem themselves under the supervis-
ion of their teacher, Miss Nellie
Peachey.
