Whenever you put one cent

why the supply of these magazines

85TH @. A. @. AWAITS
EMBARKING FROM BREST

That the 65th regiment, c. A. c.,
in which there are a number of Ash
land boys in Batteries and E, is at
present in Brest, France, awaiting
a transport on which to return to the
United States, was made known last
week by a cablegram from William
Moll Case, former pastor af the First
Presbyterian church Of Eugene, who
is now chaplain in France.
According to the Eugene Guar'i
the cablegram, which was received
by Mrs. W. N. Case, was sent from
Paris. Rev. Mr.. Case, who was the
first chaplain to reach the 65th after
they had arrived in France, and who
has been with them considerably
since, had hoped to return with the
boys, but due to the fact that he had
enlisted for a year, Mrs. Case believes
that 1t will be impossible.

NUMBER 3
Library Wants More
Books for Soldiers

The Ashland public library has is-
sued another call for soldiers books.
The fact that the war has closed has
not lessened the demand for reading
matter among the boys in camps. On
the contrary the need Is greater than
formerly, as there are at present so
many sick and wounded coming to
the hospitals and convalescent homes
in the United States, that require
reading matter much more than the
boys, who we're In active training in
the camps. A goodly number of books
have been donated by Ashland peo-
pie for this purpose but the call
comes for more, and II Is not accord
ing to Ashland's generosity to fail ia
this response.
Among the more important war ac-
tivities the Library War Service of
the American Library Association
occupied an important place during
the past year and a half In that
period the association has built and
put into operation Al library build
ings. or these, 36 we're built out Of
a fund supplied by the Carnegie Cor
poration, one was donated by friend
who prefers to remain anonymous,
and three we're constructed by the
Navy Department. Forty-three large
camp libraries have been established,
and books have been supplied to 14S
hospitals and Red Cross houses; 315
small library camps and posts, an1
400 naval and marine stations have
been equipped with book collections;
1877 library branches and stations
have been placed in y. M. c. A. and
knights OF Columbus barracks and
mess halls; 243 librarians have been
loaned to the war service.
The librarians OF the city public
library have done a splendid work in
gathering and shipping out all the
books collected for this purpose and
are ready and willing to carry on
further II each citizen OF Ashland will
do his part in donating book or
two to help cheer and entertain the
soldiers thru the tedium of conval-
escing after they have returned sick
I or wounded from the battle fields Of
France.

standing the general detraction OF

commission for work on the Green
Springs mountain road, which had
been surveyed by the state with the
good fortune of finding a maximum
six per cent grade over the noun

ter will prove OF inestimable value
to the Rogue river as 1t will supply
the one thing needed for healthy
transfer Of commodities between this
valley and Klamath county.

election of officers for the ensuing
