ICALHOUN VICTORY LOAN REPORTS STIR OPTIMISM OF WOMEN WORKERS

Anniston, May 3.-(Specia1 IA dis tinct tone of optimism distinguished the Victory Loan reports sent in last week by the woman's division of Cal houn county to Mrs stephen R Thomp- son, the county chairman. These pa- triotic women who have responded so nobly to every call sent forth by the government are determined to pass the quota assigned them ere the end of the coming week.
 The presence of several hundred re- turned soldiers in the county is prov ing a wondrous incentive to win suc- cess in the drive for Victory dollars and when the Fighting Fourth" ar rive to spur on the work, the patriot. ism of the folk on the home soil will continue to grow in intensity.
 MT. Ivan s. Rossiter, a splendid Can adian soldier, who lost the use of his right arm with smile during the great world conflict, has spoken to several clubs and at the mass meetings during the past two weeks. His brav- cry and cheer are a great inspiration. making everyone who has been spared the agony of war feel how trivial arc the greatest sacrifices we can make compared to tHe suffering and sacri- fees those khaki-clad heroes so will ingly made for humanity.

 In the Victory Loan drive and in every other patriotic campaign, Mrs. Frederick Osgood Tyler, one of An niston's most beloved young matrons, has rendered efficient, constant ser vice. Mrs. Tyler has served as cap tain of one of the largest teams, in every drive aiding in thorough can vass of the residence district.

Fol lowing the play, the club thoroughly enjoyed a talk by MT.

To give soldiers returning from France an opportunity to bring souvenirs, per- mission was given to every man to carry home with him 70 pounds of baggage, but the authorities forgot to make any reg uiation against pooling baggage allot- ments. One day at Nice the men unload ing soldiers baggage for shipment came across a German airplane, carefully packed to fit a French box car. What is this?' politely inquired the officer in charge. A corporal stepped forward. That's my squads allowance for baggage.' he said. Tt weighs just 515 pounds, and you be careful of those wings" But it didn't get by, and a new regulation was made forbidding the pooling of baggage allowances. "So," says William Allen White.

OPERATIONS CEASE ON
PACIFIC & EASTERN LINE

The Pacific G. Eastern railroad, the
thirty-three mile line running out OF
Medford, has ceased operations in
compliance with the order of Re-
ceiver w. F. Turner, and the crew
made their last trip in from Butte
Falls Thursday. With the suspen-
sion of the railroad line the mills
and logging camps around Butte
Falls shut down, throwing out OF
employment large number of men.
Upwards of 100 came out from Butte
Falls on the last train. The closing
of the mills incident to the suspen-
sion of the railroad operations loses
for Butte Falls practically a payroll
of $500 daily, and Medford also will
suffer from the shutting down of the
plants in that vicinity. 1t is ex-
pected that the railroad win be sold
in a couple of weeks.

PLEASED WITH ASHLAND
AFTER SHORT ABSENCE

Mrs. c. V. Beeler and daughter
Goldie have returned from recent
visit in Portland and Oregon City,
and will occupy their home on the
Boulevard. Last summer Mrs Beel-
er rented her home here and left
with her daughter for Denver, Colo,
with the expectation of making that
city her permanent home. The
glamour of the Granite City, howev-
er, was too strong to withstand, and
soon drew them back to Ashland.
AS they had leased their home here
they spent the period waiting until
their house was vacated in visiting
friends in the northern part of the
state. but as soon as the house could
be secured Mrs. Beeler and daughter
returned to their former home. Both
expressed themselves as being great
ly rejoiced to return to Ashland, and
after trying other cities as an abid-
ing place are perfectly satisfied to
settle again in this city.

the fan donated by Madam Alma
Tracey Young to the Christmas de-
partment of the Salvage shop, and
because two Of her pupils hesitated
thru courtesy to outbld the other in

quest Il was decided that since she
parted w. h the fan as means Of

Cross each of her pupils have the
privilege of donating to fund which
will be kept open thru the month OF
February at the Salvage and be en-
tered as the Madam Tracey Fan
Fund and the fan will be given to

Madam Tracey. and only those who

how untring she is in coaching pu-

her judgment is unfaillng. She alb
solutely refuses remuneration, stat

lady who makes so many trips from
her country home to teach in Ash

make pilgrimages for instruction Is
so unselfish, so enthusiastic In her
service to others that she is lovingly

CAR SMASHED BY RUNNING
INTO HORSE AND BUGGY

As Charles Abbott was driving
along East Main street about Gas
o'clock Monday evening, a car came
down Sherman street from the Boule-
ward and struck Mr.. Abbott's horse
and conveyance. The car ran square
ly against the horse, breaking the
windshield, tenders and radiator, and
knocking the animal down. Assis-
tance came and the traces were cut
that were not already broken, and
the horse got to its feet practically
unhurt. A woman, who was an in
mate of the car, was slightly cut on
the cheek from the broken glass Of
the windshield, but no further in
jury was done any one.
