lAshland's Spring
Opening This Week

The merchants of Ashland will put
On their first annual spring opening
event this week, beginning Wednes-
day and continuing over Thursday
and Friday. In every store will be
found featured the goods that are
adapted to the spring season, and it
will pay every one to attend this
opening and look at the displays in
the windows. Don't get the idea that
this is to be just display of
Clothes, shoes, furnishings and fur
bellows. The hardware man will
have hundreds of tools for the gar
den, the house and the farm to show
you The implement man can equip
the farm from a threshing machine
to hand seeder. The automobile
dealer will have the latest cars and
equipment. The druggists, the jew
elers, the grocers will all be doing
their share to make the spring OPEN
ing a success.
In the evenings on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday style shows
may be seen at the Vining Theatre.
The style show will be staged just
after the first picture show, when
garments will be displayed on living
models. Other pictures will be pre-
sented that will make each show
worth seeing
The Ashland merchants will be
found as accommodating in showing
goods and extending any courtesy
possible as may be found anywhere,
and no one can make mistake in
taking this time to visit Ashland and
her stores during their spring open
ing.

Released From Jail
On Promise to Work

Upon his promise to go to work in
the shipyards, Bert Rippey, convicted
Friday for illegal fishing at the Gold
Ray dam, was given six days in which
to make good his promise. His SEN
tence of 100 days in jail was sus-
pended. This was Rippey's third con-
viction in the justice court for the
same offense in the last year.
When first arrested he pleaded
guilty, and the second time a jury
in justice court found him guilty. He
appealed to the circuit court and was
acquitted.
Deputy Game Warden Walker ar

British Long Range Guns Doing
Effective Work In German Lines

The military situation on the west

change in the last "a hours. The
most notable development was the
increasing activity by the British on

British long range guns were doing
effective work some distance behind
the German lines in Flanders as well
for the German statement complains
of casualties among the population
of Menin and Halluin, more than five
miles in advance of the British front
southeast of Ypres, caused by Brit

Both German and French reports
show that heavy artillery fire has
been in progress in the Verdun re-
gio4 and that there has been brisk
work by the batteries near Rheims
on the Lorraine front and in Alsace.
No change in the situation in the
American sectors in Lorraine has
been indicated, although Paris re-
ports q German raid in the vicinity
of Fliery, near the American sector
northwest of Toul, which was re-

Interesting possibilities are sug-
gested by the revelations in Satur-
days German official statement that
a new German army group has been
created on the front in northern
France. 1t is under command of
General Won Gallwitz, an officer pre-
viously prominent in the Russian and

class in the Ashland schools is now
busy trying to determine who are the
winners. The first session of the

of which are, indeed, quite satisfac-

points of form, grammar and SPELL

War Savings Stamp Campaign
To Start Tuesday, March 26

end an organization will be effected
if it be necessary to place the chief
of police in charge and Introduce
drastic methods.
The organization is separate from
the schools and the postoffice and
banks, the work being to reach the
entire community by house to
house canvass by subcommittee.
The schools have done the work
with extraordinary promptness and
success and are keeping it up as well.
The information given out at the
postoffice 10 that the schools have
far outclassed all other agencies
combined. In fact, the schools have
been the only really organized factor
in the movement in Ashland.
In the matter of sales Hawthorne
school has sold 1925 and the Junior
high school $500. The total amount
of thrift stamps, war savings stamps
and Liberty bonds sold for all the
city schools amounts to $4,000.
Both the children and the faculty are
proud of their record, the efficiency
of their organization and the patri-
otic spirit back of the entire effort.
But the federal government urges
the introduction of the subject from
another standpoint in order to reach
other sources, and that is part of the
work assigned to DR.. Hart as chair
man for Jackson county.
Later-This afternoon DR.. Hart
got Councilman c. W. Banta to ac-
cept the Craftsmanship for the Ash
land district and postponed the act
ual drive or house to house campaign
for one week, beginning Tuesday,
March 26. Mr.. Banta will proceed
Immediately to the organization as
there is no time to lose. His assist
ants and the subcommittee will be
appointed Immediately and their an
nouncements will be made the mid
die of the week.

Book Campaign Is
Started This Week

II there is a question in anyone's
mind as to the value of the work
which the Library War Service OF
the American Library Association is
doing. it will be disposed of by an
order Just issued by General John j.
Pershing, commanding the American
forces in France, setting aside fifty
tons of cargo space monthly for the
use of the association.
This means that at least 100000
books will go to the men in France
every month, and this number will
be very largely augmented by the in
Vulnerable small shipments which
are being made, and will continue to
be made on army transports.
The books which are being sent
across are packed in specially built
cases, holding about sixty books
each, and so arranged that when they

pact six-shelf bookcase, holding about
$50 books. The intention is to place
at least one of these bookcases in
every "Y" hut, Red Cross station,
Knights of Columbus building and
Salvation Army cabin on the other
side.
Beginning March IS, a nation
wide drive is to be conducted for the
purpose of securing at least 2,O0O,-
600 books by gift from the American
people.
Arrangements have been made
whereby all books will be collected
by the delivery wagons in the city
and taken to the public library. Any
one having books to contribute will
only have to speak to any drayman
and he will call at your door for your
books.

Weather Expert to
Fight Jack Frost

Floyd d. Young, known among the
fruitgrowers and ranchers of the val
ley as Jack Frost" Young, has come
to this section Of the valley. Off
cially he is known as the United
States weather forecaster whose duty
1t is to keep the farmers and fruit
growers informed on the weather,
and to issue frost warnings. Mr..
Young came here Saturday from Po-
mona, Cal, having been detailed by
the government for special weather

last year and put in command in the
Verdun sector, included within the
front occupied by the German crown
princes army group.
The German statement Is so word
&c that the boundaries of the dis
trict under General Won Gallwitz's
command can not be determined even
approximately. That part of the
front running east and southeast to
the Swiss border from about the vi
cinity of Laon, on the Aisne front.
has previously been divided between
the German crown prince and Grand
Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg. The
crown princes front included the
Aisne, Champagne and Verdun re-
gions, while Albrecht's started in the
st. Mihiel region and extended to the
end of the line. The new Won Call
WITT group is indicated as resting be-
tween the crown prince and Albrecht
groups.
If General Won Gallwitz has taken
over an appreciable part of AL
brecht's secor, it follows that the
Americans, in the region northwest
of Toul, at least, and probably those
on the line east of Luneville, are fac
ing the troops under this COM
mander.
Although Germany has been
threatening Holland with dire things
If The Netherlands government
should allow its ships now in allied
ports to pass into the hands of the

advices that Holland has decided to
meet the allied demands, including
the right to use her ships in the dan

: The war savings stamp campaign
which is to be inaugurated through
out the state Tuesday is to be post
poned in Ashland for one week. The
reason for this postponement is that
J. G. Hurt, manager of the Ashland
and Medford ice plants, who was ap-
pointed chairman of the Ashland dis
trict, has been unable to fill this po-
sition at the present time. AS the
campaign was about to be launched
the government removed some ships
from the coast service, and this
threw an enormous amount Of refrig-
Grafton cars over the Southern Pa
cific lines, and Mr.. Hurt was COM
PEELED to resign at an inopportune
time for this drive. The government
would not stand for moments de-
lay in refrigeration cars and Mr..
Hurt had to work night and day in
locking after that work. By the first
of next week plans will be completed
and the drive will be started
throughout the city.
DR.. Henry Hart, chairman for
Jackson county, came up from Med
ford again Monday morning to inter-
est others in the matter of taking up
the organization of the Ashland dis
trict. AS the actual drive for the
entire state begins Tuesday, March
10, it will be too late for Ashland to
do its work this week, and he sug-
gests that the actual drive for the
Ashland district be postponed one
week and that an immediate organ
ization of the district be effected. Up
to noon DR.. Hart has failed to get
any citizen to take up the work Of
organizing Ashland, scores of citizens
competent TO perform the work hav-
ing substituted for acceptance an ex-
cellent and scholarly line of diplo-
matte reasons why they are unable
TO take up the work. However, the
city of Ashland has not abdicated
