Soldier Enchanted
With Scenery Here

Captain Kelly, late chaplain on the
staff Of the 9th army division, who
Is touring the coast and speaking to
the employees Of the Southern Pacific
company in the interests of the Vic
tory Loan, was guest of Ashland
Wednesday. Captain Kelly's arrival
was announced too late to draw much
of a crowd, and instead of speaking
he was taken by Chairman o. Win.
ter Of the Victory Loan committee in
his car over the scenic points of Ash
land. Accompanying the soldier
clergyman were his father and Rev,
Father Murphy of Portland, and
the guests we're loud in their praise
of Ashland. Mr. Winter took them
over the park drives and the princt-
pal streets of the city and the visitors
were enchanted with the scenery of
the canyon and the view from the
high drive. Capt. Kelley stated that
in his tours thru Europe as we'll as
this country he never saw anything
that compared with Ashland park
and the canyon.

Rogue River Catusp is among the

over" Mr., Clark stated, "and yet
was served twice today with catsup

spoke of Ashland canned goods which
are considered among the best in the
state, and enumerated many other
home and county products, all of
which should be patronized by local
stores and households. This support
will enable manufacturers to more
quickly reach out to distant commu-
mites for business and bring new
wealth into the state, and this In
turn will require more farm, orchard
and dairy products to supply the fac
tory workers and add to the distri-
button of the pay roll money.

competitor in the mail order houses
who add nothing to the support or
upbuilding of the local community.

Ashland Completed
Victory Loan Quota

This week Ashland completed her
quota of $175,OO0 to the Victory
Loan by voluntary subscriptions
This was accomplished with practical
ly little effort on the part of the ex-
ecutlve committee, aside from their
watchful attention that the subscrip-
tions were coming in, and that the
quota would be reached at a given
time. The very liberal terms of this
loan made is such popular invest
ment that people were glad to seize
upon the opportunity Of taking ad-
vantage of it, and no coerslon was
necessary. Jackson county went over
the top last Saturday night, accord
ing to reports from the county head
quarters, altho Ashland and Medford
had not entirely completed their in
dividual quotas at that time. Up to
last night Jackson county was re-
ported to be approximately $40, 900
above the quota.

Prosperity Starts
Up Around Talent

A communication from a Talent
resident states that people passing
thru do not see all that is going on
in and around Talent. With the big
irrigating ditch and new road that
is being built and two sawmills, one
in full blast and the other being
erected and soon ready for business,
it is difficult to get men enough to
do all the work required. There is
no boom reported there now, but a
steady growth in that community.
There are a few good openings
for business in Talent" the commu-
nication goes on to state. Talent
needs a drug store, hardware store,
pool room, bakery, q barber shop
a shoemaker, ETC. The future out
look for this section of the valley
seems particularly bright at the pres
ent."

All Should Support
Home Industries

One OF the most interesting fea-
lures OF the Commercial Club meet
ing last Wednesday evening was the
address given by A. G. Clark, man
ager OF the Associated Industries Of
Oregon, who was a visitor in Ashland
that day. In order to interest the
housewives OF the city in the mis-
sion which brought Mr., Clark to this
section, the Commercial Club invit-
ed the members OF the local branch
of the Associated Industries OF Ore
gon and the Civic Improvement Club
TO be resent and benefit by the story
Mr. Cla:k had to relate. ~
Bigger Pay Rolls for Oregon" was
the theme Of Mr., Clark's address,
and in a most entertaining manner
he drove home truths to the minds
OF the hearers that we're in many in
stances startling. Cooperation is
the fundamental basis of all progress
and Mr.. Clark illustrated this point
by the statement that It even re-
quired the cooperation of two fin
gers to perform the trivial matter OF
picking up a pin from the floor.
Many people do not know that
Oregon leads all western states in
the manufacture of furniture, flour,
cereals, woolens, macaroni, fruit 'juic'
es, candies and crackers which have
a national reputation, and which are
being advertised in every state in the
union. To increase this record II is
up to the people of Oregon to stand
by their own manufactures and pat
ronize home industries so far as quail
ity and prices are equal For this

last Tuesday City Engineer F. II
Walker submitted his report on the
cost of paving $500 feet of the Pa.

Base Ball Fans to Plan for
An Organization Of a Team

All lovers of the national game are
requested to meet at Allnut's cigar
store Monday evening at $50, after
adjournment OF the National Guard,
to devise ways and means whereby
Ashland will again be put on the map
of the baseball world.
For some time past among the To-
cal fans the topic has been base
ball." and as Ashland has among
the lovers OF the game many old
leaguers who are anxious to prove
their ability on the diamond, there
seems to be no serious reasons just
why this town should not have a
team that would be a real contender
for local honors of Southern Oregon
and Northern California.
AS for supporting a good base ball
club. there is no doubt but what the
fans would rally and back the club
to the limit. Many good sugges-
tions have been made along this line.
The most feasible seems to be by
the subscription route.
What business concern would re-
fuse TO help the good cause along by
subscribing, say $500 or $1,000 a
month and with other donations the
expenses OF the club would be as
sured. The Roundup grounds would
make an ideal ball park with prac-
tically no expense. A committee is
working on the paraphernalia need
ed. The suits, II is suggested, might
be donated by individual business
concerns, with the name of the donor
on the back as an advertising medi-
um.
The time Is ripe now for the or
ganization and all fans are again re-
quested to meet at Allnut's cigar
store on Monday evening to talk over
the preliminaries. There will be re-
served seats for all.

second Sunday in May of each year
An idea seems to prevail with a
number that the Mothers Day" OBJ
servance only applies to those who
are mothers, and the wearing of the
white carnation should be done only
by those who are or have been moth
ers. This was not the intention of
the originator of the day. Every
person has had mother, and wheth-
er living or dead, she should be hon
ored in this manner, whether as a
tribute to her living or in memory of
her dead And for this purpose
every man, woman and child should
wear a white flower next Sunday.
