ABOARD U. S. S. GEORGE
WASHINGTON.-King Albert has
received his taste of American speed.
The king reveled in it and is ready
for more.
The initial bit of Yankee hustle
was thrown into play when the king
left Ostend to board the George
Washington, three miles off Calais.
1t was staged by snappy American
naval officers and husky American
gobs.
When Albert with Queen Eliza
beth and the crown prince, boarded
the United States destroyer Ingra-
ham at Ostend the king announced,
in democratic fashion, that he was
in a hurry. Orders were shouted.
The destroyer leaped from its moor
ings. And by the time Albert was
comfortably quartered the Ingraham
struck up clip of So knots.
well done!" exclaimed the NOM
arch as the destroyer drew up along
side the ocean liner. His words we're
addressed to Captain lie Breton,
commander of the Ingraham. The
officers and crew OF the George
Washington vowed today the king
would meet with further "snap ac-
tion" before he reached American
shores.
Hundreds of thousands of cheering
Belgians lined the short and the
moles at Ostend when their king de-
parted. Several thousand Belgian
school children gathered at the wa
ter's edge and sang the national an
them.

AUTO-CAMP HELP
TO LOCAL HOTELS

A statement was made before the
Hotel and Restaurant Peoples asso-
citation which met recently in the
Chamber OF Commerce assembly hall
in Portland that the free auto camp
ing ground of Ashland had put two
hotels of this city out of business. A
look at the hotel registers every day
throughout this summer is sufficient
to refute this arraignment. Never
before in the history Of Ashland has
tourist travel been any better than
ii has this summer, Notwithstanding
the immense number of tourists who
have stopped at the auto-camp. The
uptown hotels get very little tourist
travel going through here by train,
while the fact that Ashland has q
camp draws travellers here, even II
they do not stop at the camp.
For a few days this summer the
dining rooms at the Hotels Austin and
Ashland were closed. The occasion
of the former closing was due to in
ability to secure help, while the din
ing room of the latter was closed in
order to allow the proprietor to take
her vacation, as she could not get
sufficient help to run it during her
absence. Instead of being an injury
the auto-camp has been help to the
hotels of Ashland

ARE COUNTY LIBRARIES A
SUCCESS?

The first county library ever In
existence Is located at Van Vert,
Ohio. Mr.. ]. s. Brumback of that
city made provision in his will for the
gift OF library building. His heirs
felt that the use of the library
should be free to all the people OF
the county and they offered the
building to the county on condition
that 1t should support the library by
taxation. Nothing of the sort had
ever before been attempted and
special act OF the state legislature
was necessary to enable the county
to accept the offer. That was in
1898.
In the past twenty years the county
library idea has spread amazingly.
Twenty states have passed county IL
brary legislation or established
county library systems. California,
the state where the plan has reached
its farthest development, first passed
a county library law in 1908. Now
forty-two of its fifty-eight counties
are taxing themselves to support
county wide library service.
Our own state first passed coun-
ty library law in 1903 to permit the
Portland library to serve all Multno-
nah county. In 1911 the law was
amended to permit any county to
establish a county library. Wasco,
Hood River and Umatilla counties
took advantage OF the opportunity
and have since maintained county
systems.
The experience Of Umatilla county
shows the development possible un-
der a county system, as compared
with a city system in the same ter
ritory. For the four years previous
to establishing the county library,
the Pendleton city library had a to-
tai of 2271 readers and 1888 books
which circulated 64,673 times. AT
the end of the next four years the
Umatilla County Library. which sue
ceeded the Pendleton city library,
had 1920 readers and 13,60O books
which circulated 195,527 times.
Thus In a four year period under
the county system there was an in
crease in books, readers and number
Of books read of more than 800 per
cent.

Home Project
Committees Plan

The Home Demonstration Project
committees in conjunction with the
Jackson County Farm Bureau have
planned their work for the coming
season which will be carried on un-
der the various departments.
The child welfare committee rep
resents fourteen communities. In
each of these communities effort
will be made to decrease child NOR
tality and increase resistance to dis
ease by emphasizing better care and
feeding. Each community chairman
plans to make survey OF all chill
dren in the community as to whether
they are below normal weight and
then follow this up by trying to
bring every child in the community
up to normal by supplying the
things which the child needs in Or
der to do this.
The home management and home
study tour chairmen met together
and made plans for promoting better
equipment, more efficient methods
of work and improving sanitary con-
ditions. There are twenty commu-
mites in Jackson county taking eth
er one of these projects or both. A
greater effort will be made to in
stall some of the simple home made
labor saving devices as well as some
Of the other conveniences that make
farm life happier for the farm wom-
an.
The food and clothing project
which nine communities have taken
up includes any of the problems con-
nected with the following: Food,
Preservation, Production, Values and
Preparation, and Clothing, Removal
fng and Remodeling, Dressmaking,
Adaptation of Commercial Pattern,
and the study Of Textile Fibre as to
adulteration and char lcteristics.
A survey will be made in each
of these communities to find out
what phase will be taken up this
fall and winter. The past few
months have been spent on preserva-
tion of food in the canning and
drying work.
| It is the object of this project to
make the knowledge of food prac-
tices, which make for better and
more economical living, a universal
knowledge; as well as to help solve
the problems in clothing the family
at time when there Is scarcity Of all
textile fibres.

CASH PRIZES FOR DISPLAYING
OREGON PRODUCTS

Through the Women's Home In
dustry club OF Ashland, retail mer-
chants are offered three cash prizes
of $500, $500, and $1,000 for
three best window displays OF Ore
gon products, during Home Products
Week, October 13 to IS inclusive.
These are reconstruction days and
the entire world is making effort to
get business back to peace basis.
In years before the war Oregon
was too Indifferent to the industrial
possibilities OF the State. We put
in our time cashing in on raw ma
terials and did not consider the fu-
ture.
A tree cut down and removed
takes from the community just that
much wealth and leaves US that
much poorer.
The industry that spells future sue
cess and development is the kind
that can be replaced.
Think OF the possibilities connect
ed with fruits, berries vegetables,
wool, seeds, all OF which may be
raised, canned. marketed and re-
placed again next year and increases
made as new markets are developed.
1t is the job OF every citizen to do
his or her part to stand behind the
Oregon manufacturer, TO use his pro-
duct and help him expand so that
he may reach out to distant markets
and bring in new wealth.
This Home Products Week has for
its only object the idea Of stimulat-
ing interest in the products OF the
factories of Oregon in all lines.
Merchants owe the Oregon country
their best help to build up payrolls
and II is hoped that not one CON-
mercial Stacker will be found in
making the week OF October 13 to
Is a great big success.
Mrs. G. B. Lamkin is chairman OF
the Ashland Home Industry club, and
the ladies OF that organization are
ready TO support the merchants who
indicate the community spirit.
