NEIGHBORLY LOVE OFFERED
TO SOLVE EUROPF'S PROBLEM

NEW YORK-i-ractica arrlicq-
ton of the "love your neighbor"
principle by Americans is necessary
to restore normal trade conditions
with Europe, Edward Filene of Bos'
ton. director of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce. told the New
York Clerical conference.
Granting credits. particularly to
small European nations, in order to
bolster up exchange rates until the
enormous trade balance in favor OF
this country is lessened, is necessary
to save weaker countries. he said.
II bankers are forced to assume
the entire burden of credits, Filene
said, they must demand absolute Sc
curity, and nations that are in most
need, and consequently have least
credit, will suffer.

BRITISH FIGHTERS
WERE GOOD FARMERS

LONDON.-The British army was
doing something other than fight in
the last year of the war, according
to the army agricultural committee
report made public today. 1t culti-
waited 665S acres of land in the
country occupied by the home forces
alone, and made a profit Of about
$50 an acre.
In France thousands of acres were
cultivated by the soldiers, and vege-
tables worth no less than $780,
900 we're produced.
BY irrigation the army in Meso-
potamia became self-supporting so
far as vegetables were concerned
and the grain crop was valued at
SIS, 100000.
The Saloniki army also was busy
cultivating the soil back of its lines
and in addition to harvesting crops
worth some 100000 saved $4,000
tons of ships which would otherwise
have been used to carry supplies to
that far off front.

FOREST PATROLS CONFER

SALEM, Ore.-Duplication OF en-
ergy and expense in patrolling the
Oregon forests is to be eliminated
through the cooperation of state.
federal, Indian and private agencies.

ester, just returned from klamath
Falls, where he attended confer
ence OF the fire patrol interests.
Under the new plan OF operation.
the several agencies will be kept ad-
vised OF what the other is doing
along fire patrol lines, thereby re-
ducing the expense and increasing
the efficiency OF the several depart
ments engaged in the work.

the airplane forest fire patrol to all
sections of the Pacific coast as well
as to some of the most heavily tim
bered districts of the middle west.

At a meeting held in Ashland be-
tween the Public Service Commission
and the municipal officials recently
the railroad crossing on Helman
street was inspected and examined,
and it was decided to designate this
as stop" crossing, and erect an
illuminated sign over it. This street
is much used, and it was decided
that a bell, which was first talked OF
at this crossing, would be nuisance
as il would easily be confused with
the switch engines. The illuminated
sign will be arranged so that 1t will
not be confused with other lights
along the railroad and will serve as
a warning of the approach OF trains.
Ashland will have the privilege
of hearing an orator OF national fame
in the person of DR.. Louis Albert
Banks, d. D., who will speak in the

known from the Atlantic to the Pa

evangelist. He has fought the bey-
erage liquor traffic from the very be-
ginning OF his ministry and at last his
opposition to the traffic that destroys
men became such consuming pas
sion with him that he gave up his
work as pastor-evangelist and for
years his clear brain and eloquent
tongue have been used in advocacy
of prohibition all over the United
States.

no more able, popular and successful
speaker. He ranks with Young, Hob
son, Stearns and other great proh;-
bition lecturers, and Ashland is most
fortunate to be able to hear him
speak.
