Government Agent Ad- dresses Birmingham Au- dience on Build and Own
 a Home Movement

Birmingham started the "Own-aHome movement" yesterday afternoon at a meeting held in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce over which J. Kir4 Jackson presided.
 L. R. Putnam, regional director of the information and education section of the United States Department of Labor. made the principal talk in which he outlined in some detail the plans of the govern ment for fostering and promoting the movement.
 MT. Putnam stated that the government realized the necessity of finding employ ment for the thousands of soldiers dis charged from the army and for the other thousands whose employment ceased when war preparations ended, and that an investigation made by the department of labor disclosed that the best and most to work was through building homes,
 State organizations are being formed throughout the country with the view to spreading the propaganda of home owning and home building, the govern ment being interested particularly in the building end of it. He has formed organ izations in Arkansas, Oklahoma. Louisi- ana. Mississippi and one or two other states, and expects to organize Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia. lrlorida and the other states in the southeast, which are in the region over which he has super vision

OWNERS NOT BoLsHEvIsTs

City Commissioner Henry F. Burruss made a short welcome address in which he discussed home owning, saying that the best remedy for bolshevism, l. w. w. and other government destroying classes was for the people to own their homes' The man who ownss home, he deciared is never a bolshevist, an l. w. w., an anarchist, nor any other thing that is against his government.
 Lieut. Gov. Nathan l.. Miller expressed the opinion that cost of building matet, rials and labor will not go below presens prices for a long time, but that belet that it would had kept the people from starting a building movement He saii lower prices cannot be looked for as long as the purchasing power of money, or which there is twice as much in the United States today as four or five yeas ago. remains where it is; that although we have twice as much money, with reserve bank system ready to meet all demands for more money, the quantity of other materials in the United States is no greater than before the war, and high prices will continue as long as these conditions exist.

STATE ORGANIZATION

No effort was made to form state
 organization here yesterday on account Of the small number of representatives from other cities. Instead. Chairman Jackson
 was authorized to appoint committee of five to communicate with civic organ
 izations of other cities and secure from
 them the names of such persons as may
 be available for official positions in the state body.
 Mr Putnam stated that through an investigation conducted by the department of labor it had been ascertained that there was a shortage of about 2,0oO.oVJ homes in the United States. This esu- mate was arrived at partly. he said, py comparison. Prior to the war about ooO,- 900 homes were built each year and for
 the last three years practically none have
 been built, therefore, there must be
 shortage of about 100000.
 He recommended that q strong state organzat ton be formed with branches Tn the various cities; the opening of head quarters in down town business house in Birmingham, that collection of plans for moderate priced homes be secured and arrangements be made to finance home builders at a reasonable rate of .n- l terest and liberal terms as to payment.

heating plant so the building can be
used at all seasons Of the year Ash
land can be made the center pre-

1t will be possible for the thousands
Of automobiles in Southern Oregon

Ashland as the center for such at

completed, but it remained for men
with a vision and a lively conception
of the possibility and with courage
to tackle the big things TO make the
attempt. This John H. Fuller has
done and in successfully doing l,
has marked an epoch in the history

ASHLAND HAS FINE
CHERRY EXHIBITION


Talk about cherry festivals, wha,
Is the matter with Ashland's exhi-
bit" remarked a resident Of this
city recently. People in this sec
ton do not have to visit the Colum-
bia or Hood River districts to see one
Of the prettiest exhibits of cherries
anywhere on earth, but can do 30 by
taking a stroll up on almost any OF
the hill sections of the city, where
cherry orchards abound, and they
can see a never-to-be-forgotten sight
OF this lucious fruit bending the
boughs to the ground with Its
weight"
A walk over the hills at this time
Of year will reveal one Of the most
beautiful sights afforded In this val
ley Of charming scenic effects. "Cher-
ry time in Oregon" cannot be surpas-
sed In beauty and charm, and Ash
land has a particularly fine share Of
this wonderful display Of fruit. All
the hill streets lead to remarkable
cherry orchards, all showing boun-
tiful harvest this year that has nev.
er been surpassed. Acres and acres
of trees, literally loaded with super
fine varieties of cherries, with
branches sweeping the ground with
the weight of the fruit, is a sight to
charm the eyes Of any beholder.
This exhibit can only be equaled by
that when the peaches ripen later,
as Ashland peaches are by FAR the
best raised in the Rogue River val
ley, and peach orchard is certainly
a perfect dream of beauty. But Just
now the cherries are in the limelight.
and it win certainly repay one to
walk to the hills, just to look over
the vast reaches of fruit-laden cher
ry trees stretching out on all sides

fhe past three years at the Ashland
roundup and celebration this fourth
annual festival promises to develop
greater crowds than have ever be-

spects will rival parade displays in
the great cities.
This will be the biggest parade

POWERFUL Pile
:, REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obstinate
Case of Piles in Few DAYS.

FOR years 1t has been proven that so.called
fNtethdl remedies applied to or inserted in
the reCtum cannot cure piles, and at the best
can only give temporary relief. Surgical oper-
atoms also do not remove this cause, but
simply the formation.
This wonderful prescription. known as Miro
rue Kennedy, is so efficient in the treat
ment OF plies, that even chronic cases of from
D 10 ~ years standing with profuse bleeding
have been completely cured in from three to
ten days. Think of it! just few doses of
a carefully balanced prescription and the
most persistent case OF piles is absorbed,
never TO return.
Just read what Henry J. Stone Of the Lorain,
ONO, hre department says:
II had bleeding and protruding piles for
three years and tried all kinds OF remedies
without result, but was thoroughly cured after
taking one bottle Of Miro"
Frank J. Phillips of Bird Island. Mime.

81 used half a bottle of Miro. 1t worked
like charm no longer suffer with bleed
lng and protruding piles. / never regretted
2hc money for such blessing as | am now en-.
loying. | would have used the whole bottle,
but It was not necessary"
All pharmacists dispense Miro or can oct
it for you on short notice Surely it's worth
the little trouble to obtain it to be rid of
piles forever.
IMPORTANT-What is known as itching
piles are not piles in the true sense of the
word, although this condition may accompany
a true case OF piles. For this condition Miro
Pile Ointment has been prepared as in such
cases It is not necessary to take the internal
prescription.
