OFFICE OF MUNICIPAL
JUDGE DECLARED VACANT

During the trial of a case before
the municipal Judge last week II
was pointed out by the defendants s
attorney that by a technicality the
office OF police Judge did not exist.
The flaw in the law was in the mat
ter Of changing the city charter Gre
ating the municipal court. The
judges Of election serve without pay.
and in orler to further economize
notices were posted instead OF hav-
ing a publication made in a news
paper. This procedure is permis-
sible under the charter in the matter
of city ordinances, altho the charter
amendment requires newspaper pub
hcation. A new election will be or
dered by the city council.

Shall Ashland Have
ia National Guard?

Efforts are being made by several
county military men to establish a
company OF Oregon National Guard
in Ashland. This will succeed the
old time First company OF Coast Ar
tillery, whose war record will be en-
blazoned on the annals of the. city 8
history as responding to its country's
call to a man In the summer Of 1917.
During the past few months an Of
ficers' training unit was established
here and did good work under the ef-
ficient command OF the state militia
officers, also an organized body es-
tablished while the country was in
war. This is expected to be mustered
out soon, and unless a company Of
the National Guard is organized Ash
land will be without any military
body
During the past week Major Crow
son OF Medford was in Ashland meet
ing with some OF the interested men,
bers OF the officers training unit
who agree most heartily with the
formers Ideas OF the necessity OF
organizing a company OF the National
Guard. The Ashland Band has also
been approached. many members OF
which are anxious to Join, either as
a military band or as individual mem
bers Of the organization.
A meeting was called at the ar
mory last evening to discuss the
matter and canvass the possibilities
Of organizing a National Guard unit
in Ashland. One hundred men are
required to form a company. who
win receive one-fourth the federal
army pay. This will be IS a month
for privates. with corresponding sal
aries Tor officers. Many who have
been approached are interested in the
matter, and It is hoped that in few
weeks a unit may be formed.
The future Of the armory is at
stake at this period. The question
before the citizens OF Ashland is,
shall a military company be estab-
lished here, for which the armory
will be maintained by the govern
ment or shall this splendid public
military building OF which the city
is so Justly proud be allowed to sink
into innocuous desuetude? This wouli
be a great loss to the youth OF this
community. as well as to the public
IN general.
A movement has been broached to
establish Y. M. c. A. branch here
in connection with the National
Guard, with paid secretary. In
this manner the gymnasium and re-
creation rooms could be maintaine |
as well as the care OF the building.
While it is not known that such a
project could be arranged, 1t is be-
ing considered and seems to meet
with favor.
While 1t is conceded that the large
number of Ashland young men who
have already seen service have had
sufficient to satisfy their military
cravings for some time to come, there
are others who missed this oppor-
tunity and many boys OF the coming
generation will be anxious to secure
this training as they reach the ags
enabling them to join a National
Guard company.

Wrile all demands so far have
been met, 1t is hoped that the sub
scribers will promptly meet their
payments from month to month in
order that the executive committee
may be able to meet the future de-
mands.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
BE HONEST WITH CHILDREN.

One OF the greatest mistakes that
parents make is in not dealing honestly
with their children
To begin with, many parents throw
away a valuable chance of becoming
real comrades with their children by
representing themselves as always hav-
ing been supermen ard women Their
vanity makes them pose before their
cons and daughters as paragons who
are so far above all mortal weaknesses
that they were never even tempted to
walk in forbidden paths.
This parental egotism erects a bar
rier between children and parents that
the children feel to be so impossible
that they do not even attempt to break
through
According TO fathers own oft-re-
reated statement he simply adored go
ing to school, and never missed a les
son, and when he came home at night
he was crazy to do chores about the
house instead Of playing ball with other
boys. and at night he preferred to get
his lessons to going to the movies--if
there had been any movies In those
oays-and nothing would have induced
him to have put vie cigaret between
his lips, and when he went off to col
lege-he never spent his allowance fool
ishly. nor f1unked class. nor engaged
in any nranke, or wasted his money
on foolish clothes. or firted with tele-
phone operato tors. or did anything that
caused his father the slightest uneasi /.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE DUSTER.

Once more the bunny rabbit gentle
man was on his way. Over the fields
and through the woods he hoped with
the feather buster for Nurse Jane.
Uncle Wiggily was thinking how jolly
it would be, with Christmas only few
days off when, all of a sudden, out
from behind a lieorice drop bush jump
ed the queer old BaZump.
''Oh, no! Here you are"' cried the
funny old Bazump. who was something
like the Pipsisewah only worse, having
no nice warm fur on, only scales like
gily! | guess I'll get some souse now,
Just sit down on this log and let me
bite some off your ears!"
And before the bunny rabbit gentle
man could stop him. the Bazump had
pulled the rabbit gentleman down on a
stump beside him, and reaching over,
started to nibble souse off the bunny's
ears But, as this happened, the end
of the feather buster came out Of the
paper and brushed the Bazump on his
scaly nose.
ouch! Stop! You tickle!' said the
Bazump to Uncle Wiggily.
Beg your pardon. Didn't mean to,
I'm sure" said the bunny, politely. ut
was Nurse James new feather buster"
We'll please keep it away from me, &"
spoke the Bazump, He leaned over
again, to try a second time and bite
some picked ear sourse off the bunny
rabbit, and once more the feather dus-
ter flicked him on the face.
"Wouchouch." howled the Bazump
There you SO again, tickling me! Ha!
Ha!" and he had to laugh, whether he
wanted to or not.
Pardon NJ orror!" said Uncle
Wiggily, baseball like.
For the thiru time the funny old
Bazump leaned over and tried to take
bite of souse off the bunny's ears.
And, once again, the fluffy feather
buster. under Uncle Wiggily's paw,
seemed to reach out and flutter in the
face of the Bazump,
"Oh, picklesn' cried the queer chap,
How you tickle! Will you stop? Now
I've got to jump up and scratch my
nose," And with that up he hoped
and rubbed his nose on the rough and
scaly bark of tree. And as soon as
he let go of Uncle Wiggily the bunny
gentleman gave a big hop and ran
away taking his feather buster with
him
"Ho! Ho" laughed the rabbit.
That's the time l fooled you, Mr.. Ra :
| zump! Feather busters are good for
something else than Ticking dust off
the piano." And then Uncle Wtggily
ran so fast that the scaly Bazump
couldn't catch him. So the bunny safe

the hollow stump bungalow nice and

tickled he could hardly stop laughing

pancakes, I'll tell you next about Uncle
