that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How TO get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him. and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, X. A., then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them in large sack. which he

In order that heifers may be bred

This Is important. Cows that acquire

comparatively early age and begin to
milk before they are mature. The

Dame Rumor has been extremely
busy during the present week spread
ing a report to the effect that the
cooperative buying association,
formed at a meeting last week, had
arranged to purchase the stock, good
will and business of the White House
Grocery, and that the transfer was
to be made today.
Wherever this report may have
started, II Is entirely without foun-
dation of fact-it is fiction pure and
simple-as such a deal has not even
been considered, according to the
proprietors of the establishment sup
posed to be sold.
The report has been spread over
the entire city and even to Medford,
and has caused considerable annoy
ance to the owners of the business
in question. therefore The Tidines
has been asked to officially deny
that the cooperative association or
any other concern or person has pur-
chased the White House. or that any
transfer of the business is contem-
plated.

The present cold snap with snow
in the mountains has compelled cat
tlemen and ranchers to bring their
stock in earlier than usual this year.
All this week the outlying roads are
filled with droves of cattle coming
in from the ranges to the winter
quarters in the valley. Practically
every farmer near Ashland has had
some cattle out on the ranges in the
government reserves through the
summer, and as the most of this land
lies high in the mountains where
snow and cold weather prevails dur
ing the winter months, this stock has
to be brought down to lower range,
where it is fed and looked after until
grass time in the spring.
