Formed in Valley

A 100 per cent membership was
secured at the organization of Farm
Bureau in the Ashland-Bellevlew-
Neil Creek district which took place
in the Neil Creek school house last
Tuesday afternoon. A progressive
program OF work was adopted and q
membership drive inaugurated. En-
thuslasm waxed to the highest pitch
In the voluntary appointment Of a
committee for this purpose, led by
Harvey Howard and two others.
In the evening the residents OF
these three districts met at the Belle
view school house. The Farm Bu-
reau plan was presented in Its varl-
Gus phases by Mr.. Gilbertson, the
federal director of county agents for
the Pacific northwest Miss McCor-
mick, home demonstration agent for
Jackson county, County Superinten-
dent Ager, School Supervisor Morris,
County Agent c. C. Cate, and A. C.
Joy, president OF the Jackson County
Farm Bureau. With the inspiration
OF the splendid start made at Neil
Cheek during the. afternoon, the
Bellevlew-Ashland people tackled the
Iproblems In real earnest and while
the records for volunteers and men,
bership did not come up to those Of
Neil Creek, an excellent showing was
made.
F. c. Homes presided at this meet
ing, and its success was largely due
to his enthusiasm and energetic
measures with which he carried the
business OF the evening along. Mr.
Homes is an active member of the
county executive committee. and de-
votes much thought and time to con-
ditions in keeping with the farm bu-
reap project. .'
The meeting at Talent on the eve
ming of February 9Th. was attended
by 45 OF the progressive farmers OF
the district. A hearty interest was
shown In the Farm Bureau plan and
a heavy percentage of those present
became members. A membership
committee of five volunteered to can
vas the community. tir-
On the afternoon OF February 9th
a we'll attended meeting was held at
the Valley View school house. WIZ
the energy, characteristic of the COM
munity, they adopted the Farm 5u-
reau plan and outlined progress
sive program of work for the coming
year. II goes without saying that
practically every farmer in Valley
View will join the bureau and be
booster Surely this end of the val
ley has made splendid showing both
in enthusiasm and In memberships.
Federal Agent Gilbertson states that.
in no county, the country over, has
he seen such satisfactory results.

RETURNED HEROES MAY
NOT COME THRU ASHLAND

From present indications the 65th
regiment will not come thru Ashland
on their way from Camp Dix. N. j.,
to their demobllizing cantonment at
Camp Lewis. The latest news from
the east states that the regiment will
start the first of this week and will
be routed over the Union Pacific d.
rectly to Portland, and will arrive in
that city probably February 16 or II.
Los Angeles and San Francisco have
been trying to get the regiment rout-
ed thru their cities in order to have
a parade and celebration, and In
that case the southern Oregon cities
would have a chance to see their re-
turned heroes, as they passed thru.
This will evidently not come to pass
and parents and friends of Ashland
soldiers will have to possess their
souls with patience until the boys
are discharged and return home.
While plans were being formulat'
ed to welcome the boys at the trains
II they passed thru here on theli
way to Camp Lewis. no further dem
'onstration will be made to celebrate
their return until Victory Week
when by that time all the soldiers
and sailors will probably be mustered
out and will have returned. Their
the city will turn loose in one OF the
greatest welcomes exer accorded Ash
land citizens. This will include al
the men in military. naval and aeria
service wherever they have been sta
toned, who have been returnlnl
home ever since the cessation of hos
tilities.

"YoU, +, EVERYBODY. /"
Author Of An Interesting Little Book
let Is the Guest of Mrs. Henry
Peters Of Kenosha.

"You, /, Everybody" neatly
printed booklet Of one-hundred pages,
dealing with the science of numbers,
is attracting the attention Of deep
thinkers. This remarkable booklet,
published by the Advocate Publishing
Company Of Milwaukee, was written by
Mrs. Matte Hedwig Cuppel Of Milwau-
kee, at present visiting at the home
of Mr., and Mrs. Henry q. Peters on
Prairie avenue. Mrs. Cuppe1 is well
known to Kenosha people by reason
Of her frequent visits with friends in
this city.
The lesson of the science Of numbers,
of which the authoress writes, is simply
and earnestly told and clearly indi-
Gates the vocational trend Of mind and
the desires to accomplish the things
worth while in life.
s'The knowledge Of science, says
Mrs. Cuppel, sis not alone invaluable
to the individual, but also to the moth
er, the school teacher, the music in
structor and all who assist in the
training and development of children
this science is an absolute necessity, as
it enables one to know unerringly Just
what a child s nature is. It is the key
of nnajic which unlocks the doors OF
the universe.

ICE-cREAM FOR THE KIDDIEs.
Charlie Pacini Throws a Little
Party for the Chicago Orphans
at st. Mary's Home

Not all of the little partiesn held
in Kenosha on Monday afternoon and
evening were staged on Main street
or Market Square. Out at st. Mary S
Home along the lake shore a hundred
and fifty little orphans from Chicago
were having real debauch even if it
did have no disagreeable regrets or
painful mornings after. The miracle
man. in the case was "Charlie' Pa
cini, proprietor of the Butterfly and
New Majestic theatres. He had heard
that the Riddles were due in Kenosha
on Monday and he wanted to make
their first day here as hilarious as
possible. He succeeded famously. He
sent out ten gallons Of ice-cream all Of
which disappeared just about as rap
idly as flagon OF Old Burgundy in a
dry town. 1t was one of the most en-
joyable celebrations held in Kenosha
on Monday Il spite Of the fact that it

suggestion of the Halcoholic blues.u

Miss Laura Hahn Explains
To Kenosha Mothers How
State Aid Protects the
Children.
JUDGE FULLY TALKS
Municipal Court Judge Tells Mothers
Who Receive Pensions Of Provisions
Of the Law-Probation oficer
Takes Charge Of the Work.

For years Wisconsin cared for its
livestock and its pigs, but forgot its
children. Now fortunately the Badger
state IS caring for the children as well
and has provided state aid for the
mothers and the children who may need
it. & This was one of the interesting
statements made by Miss Laura Hahn,
probation officer of Kenosha county, in
y short talk made this morning to the
Kenosha mothers and children who are
receiving help from the state under the
provisions of the Mothers Pension Act
at g meeting in the council chamber.
The meeting, which promises to be
an annual affair in Kenosha in years
to come, was one of the most interest
ling ever held in the council hall. Miss
Hahn after making a personal visit to
the home Of each of the mothers and
children now receiving help from the
state, conceive the plan that meeting
to explain to all df them at once the
purposes Of the bill and the meeting
was called with this idea in mind. a
short address was also made by Judge
James +. Tully Of the Municipal Court,
who told the mothers that Wisconsin
realized the debt they owed to mother
hood and was ready to help them in
the case that they were overtaken by
misfortunes. He declared that he be-
lieved that every mother was highly
appreciative of the help offered and
was helping the state in every way
i'll this great work.
The meeting this morning was at
tended by every mother who is receiv-
ing help from the state. The work
has heretofore been under the direc-
ton Of the Municipal Court, but with
the creation Of the office of proba-
ton officer it was handed over in it's
entirety to this official. The meeting
this morning and the interest shown
is AN evidence of the personal touch
which has been added to the work
under the new system. A careful re-
checking Of the accounts and records
of the department was made following
the meeting and payments due the
mothers were presented at the close
Of the meeting.
While have q chance,'' said Miss
Hahn this morning, II want to say q
word Of praise for the mothers who are
here this morning. I have investigated
every home represented and nowhere
have | found the money given by the
stata vac4pd Fvor1r ,,,o+bo~ :. o.~~
fully spending the money allowed her
and is by this means fulfilling the con-
fidence which the state has reposed in
her. S. Miss Hahn also praised Miss
Marian Vans, for her efficient and I'M
firing services as an interpreter in
helping to investigate the needs Of the
various mothers and their families.

A KENosHAN WAS THERE.
Corporal Harold G.. Berglin Attends
Memorial Day Exercises in France
and Hears General Pershing

That Kenosha was represented at
what was probably the most memorable
Decoration Day services in the history
of America, was shown this morning
when q letter was received by Mrs.
Conrad Shearer from her brother Cor
poral Harold G. Berglin, telling how
the Kenosha soldier attended the serv-
ices held at the great American ceme-
terry at Romagne, France, where Gen
eral Pershing paid tribute to the de-
votion OF the men who had given the
"slast full measure of devotion.'' Cor
poral Berglin declares that it was one
of the most impressive ceremonies that
could be imagined. The program in
cluded the sounding of taps over the
graves of the heroes followed bv the
playing of the ''Star Spangled Ban
ner' while thousands upon thousands
of American soldiers did honor to their
comrades who "had fought good fight,
finished the course and kept the faith. =
