Changes i'm social conditions in the
country communities with the ad-
vent of the automobile are brought
TO light in the survey being made
by the Episcopal church as a part OF
the Every Name movement in the
church's nationwide campaign for
social reconstruction.
While none of the churchmen
claims the automobile had been an
influence for bad in the country,
yet many claim that a majority OF
farmers in 2 community owning
autos has increased the preachers
problems.
From the various diocesan head
quarters survey blanks were sent
into every parish I'm the country to
secure national outline of the pres
ent scope of church work and to Sc
cure recommendations for the up
building OF the church, including the
individual parish needs.
One rector in o rural parish COM
nlained that since farmers have be-
come more prosperous than ever be-
fore and have acquired automobiles
they speed by his church on Sunday,
bound for the larger churches in
more thicllly populated centers.
Another rector complained that to
keen i'm touch with his farmer par
iehioners he should he given an auto.
He told of a recent visit to dis
t7nt nelghborhood with a weary and
aged horse and an antiquated buggy
us means Of conveyance Like the
old "one-horse chaise" the vehicle
collapsed and the rector, Inundated,
was forced 70 wegrily lead his weary
horse back TO his home whlle his
pensioners sped by him on the high
way I'm uu-to-dlte motor cars.
IN the space allotted for this solu-
tion of his problem he said that his
problem would be solved if he were
Given an automobile like his farmers
drove.
The problem OF the auto and the
country parish is to be one of the
many important church problems
which viii be solved rs a result of
tine nationwide campaign. The
campaign will end on December 7
following an Intensive Week" for
personal service and financial sup
rort for the church's plans for the
coming three years.

GREETING TO ASHLAND
BY Nathan Strauss
Chairman Trade Extension EXcur-
sion, Portland Chamber of
rommarna \

AOndll lluu lldhO LAbNhoioh ANANuA
sion, Portland Chamber of
Commerce.
Coming fresh from two splendid
meetings with the business men of
Medford and klamath Falls, the
business men of Portland are graft
fled today to be with the people of
Ashland, and to thank them in per-
son for their invitation you have
extended to us to spend the day in
this beautiful city. Although the
two ctiag are It the extreme north
and south boundaries of the state,
there is much in common between
US, beth cor mercially and socially,
and surely in those things in which
we can work together for mutual
benefit and for the benefit of the
state as a whole.
1--WE are living in a wonderful
age The past few years, as never
before have shown us the value Of
cooperation in national matters and
in state matters. Oregon has ac-
complished for herself a record un-
eXcelled by any other state. 1t is
our desire and we know it is the
wish of the residents Of Ashland that
the old-time and continuous record
of friendship between our beloved
city and yours, shall continue with
even greater enthusiasm than in the
rast, if 1t is possible more closely
to bind the two communities in clos
er relationship.
Oregon has a great future. No
state is better favored, and in our
enthusiasm we are inclined to be-
lieve no other state has so much to
offer the world as Oregon. That
is as it should be. Loyalty to our
state, enthusiasm in her develop
ment, will bring us fame and pros
perity. 1t is not the mere spending
of money that accomplishes the most
good for any community. Lacking
cooperation and state loyalty and en-
thusiasm, the spending of money can
not be made to bring that full re-
turn in state development we all so
greatly desire. Enthusiasm, CO.
operation and the elimination of self
ishness has in the past few years re-
suited in the present marvellous
growth Of Oregon It is good to see
and for us OF Portland to meet with
the business people of Southern Or
egon.
I'VE are especially glad to be in
Ashland today. You have so many
wonderful things to show us, Your
wonderful AGRICULTURAL timber and
mining resources are enrlching you
ana VIII greatly add 10 your Wealtn
as time passes, but you have other
advantages which will supplement
and add to your fame md prosperity.
You are wonderfully located to take
advantage of the great tourist travel
which will follow the completion of
~ IL. A.
mer resort you have few equals. Your
wonderful mineral waters, your
splendid scenic attractions will make
YOU famous. | congratulate and fe-
licitate the people of Ashland on all
these things and wish for your city
a continuance and enlargement Of
your very evident prosperity"

Some very fine achievements in
the way of window decorations We're
accomplished this week among the
merchants of Ashland in the displays
arranged of Oregon made goods, Not
only were the products attractive to
the representatives of the manufac-
turers and business houses that
made them and sold them, but they
are well worth the citizens of Ash
land taking a stroll along the streets
and see just what our merchants are
selling in the way of Oregon pro-
ducts. All acquitted themselves
most creditably and all deserve
many compliments on their work
Not only the prize winners and
those receiving honorable mention
deserve great credit for the displays
they so attractively arranged, but
practically every business house In
the city outdid themselves when it
came to exhibiting the goods which
they handle in their lines. Especial
ly is this true of the four dry goods
stores, Vaupel's, Ferguson's, Nc
Gees and Enders, which displayed
attractive lines of goods made by Or
egon wooden mills, mems clothing,
suit cases, dress accessories, shoes
and many other attractive lines all
coming from Oregon manufactures
All these stores do a wonderfully
good business among Oregon pro
ducts and if they cannot secure Ore
gon made goods thew one and all
patronl2e Oregon jobbers Of import
ed goods.

Drive for Roosevelt
Memorial Started

The Ashland Roosevelt Memorial
met in the Commercial Club rooms
last night and completed arrange
ments for the campaign which started
out this morning to raise the city's
quota of the fund which the nation
is giving to perpetuate the memory
of Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty
seventh president of the United
States, Chairman W. NJ. Briggs pre-
sided, and appointed his sub-commit-
tees, who will act with dispatch to-
day so that all the machinery Of
the campaign is in running order by
this evening, and subscriptions have
already begun to come in.
According to the plan all contri-
buttons will be voluntary. For this
purpose Chairman Briggs arranged
with the following business places
for subscriptions to be paid in: The
three banks, library, Simpsons hard
ware store, C. B. Lamkin's real estate
office, Enders' store, Rose Bros. con-
fectionery, Alnutt's cigar store, Elks
Temple. These places will be fit
ted up with provisions for making
contributions, and each person do
ing so will be given a certificate
coming from the Oregon state exc
cutive committee.
Clark Bush of the First National
Bank was appointed treasurer of
this campaign, Mrs. Perozzi chair
man of the subcommittee to look
after four-minute men to speak each
night at the Vining and Mrs c. D
Lamkin chairman of the sub-ccm-
mittee to arrange the marking Of
the business places where the CON
tributions will be taken. This will
be done by picture of the late Col
onel Roosevelt in the window, marked
with the notice that contributions
to the memorial fund are taken there
Ashland's quota for this fund is
$3.50, OF this amount $50 will go
to the Women's Memorial fund which
is being raised at the same time The
object Of this fund is to acquire and
restore the house wherein Theodore
Roosevelt was born, and TO make It
a center where the ideals of Roose-
welt Americanism would be taught,
The public is instructed to look out
for the windows in which appears
the picture of Theodore Roosevelt
and make their contributions ac-
cordingly.
The Talent Bank is handling con-
tributions, and have assured the
committee of at least $50.
Before attempting to overcome an
obstacle it is best to carefully gauge
its height. Many Of the wrecks Of
life are the direct result of failure
to give reasonable consideration to
obstructions which seem slight but
are in reality momentous in their
possibilities for ultimate disaster.

PORTLAND-Re Representatives of
coast oil handlers who have made
the Philippine trip this season are
commenting on one change in insu-
lar conditions that forecasts much
for the country. In 1896 Emilio
Aguinaldo first became prominent as
q revolutionary leader and was so
successful that the Spanish govern
ment compromised with him two
years later. II paid him 100000 in
gold to leave the country. He got as
far as Singapore when the war be-
tween Spain and the United States
broke out, was recalled as an ally OF
the United States, helped defeat the
Spanish, was later an enemy of this
country and finally took the oath of
allegiance in 1901, after capture by
General Funston.
Today Aguinaldo is not so years
old the owner Of valuable agricul-
tural holdings in the islands and is
vice president OF two OF the big CO.
coanit oil handling concerns which
have recently been organized-the
Philippine Refining company and
the Rial Refining company. With
the Philippine Islands supplying a
third OF the worlds supply Of cocoa
nut oil these concerns are real trade
factors.
Oil men say that in this change
of the half-Spanish, half-nativo
leader from insurrecto to construc-
tive business man, a change is made
which means much to the future
business OF the islands, because OF
the great influence he has with his
countrymen.

TUNIO BLOUSEs.

Leaving out the plain and quite at tractively severe Service blouses''- as they are called, whether they are worn for war-relief work or for golf all the new shirtwaist styles are what might be termed "dressy' if that term wasn't disliked.
 But "dressy" blouses are here, just the same; rather formal blouses in their way which seem better suit ed for taking tea in smart restau- rants than for shopping excursions or travelling. But in Paris the costume blouse is the thing, and though white tub waists will inevitably come into favor with warmer weather, just now 1t is entirely the costume blouse matching the skirt in color and giv- ing the wearer-coatless-t effect of having 8 complete costume.
 A great many of these costume blouses, since they match the skirts they accompany, are of dark colored material; and since brown is particu- larly smart this winter the brown bIouses seem to predominate. It has been years and years since brown shirtwaists. were so fashionable and so numerous.
 A costume blouse of dark colored chiffon means meticulous care in the selection of a camisole. Women have found that these sheer, dark waists have not looked well with matching skirts because the white or flesh tint ed camisole under the blouse gave 1t distinctly lighter tone than the skirt; and of course, this spoiled the

GAP" ARMY
 TO BE PROPOSED
House Military Affairs Com mittee Has Solution for
 Consolidation Problem.

Washington, Feb. "A stop gap' army of 500,0OO men for one year is the solution the House Milital Af- fairs Committee is soon to recom- mend for the difficulties facing the War Department with rehabilitation and aspirations of enlistments. This army will bridge over the military es- tablishment until the next Congress decides on reorganization plans. This is proposed as part of the Army Ap- propriation Bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920.
 The House committee has agreed to a return to the National Defense Act basis. To do so immediately would be impossible, and the present remedy provides for the "stop gap'' army under the old act, and under certain provisions for creation of the National Army. The National Guard, it is understood, is not to be part of the stop gap" army. With provi- sions now being written in the appro- priatiou bill Is to be incorporated as rider the provision for return to voluntary enlistments with induce ments.
 Half of the ''stop gap" army, or 25O,000 men, will be organized as a regular army under $ae old Defense Act, but the remaining S50,000 men are to be used chiefly in maintaining special services Of the army, such as tank corps, air service, etc.
 Information to the committee shows that the National Guard al- ready Is being re-established in at least IT states. The committee is making appropriations for 100000 men in the new National Guard.

It was in reference to a small sum of money and ended in Papp being stabbed. Papp died two days later. Two weeks ago Gyorke was brought back from He1lWood, Pa He is charged with murder in the first degree, and will be tried the coming term of the Su- perior Criminal court
