kIDD|ES SHOW
AT HAUBER WAS
A REAL TREAT
Over Forty Dollars Melted
by Youngsters for the
Memorial Fund.

Seven Riddles, all under ten years
of age, staged remarkably clever
vaudeville sketch at the Hauber
theatre last night as a benefit to the
Jefferson County Memorial fund. The
sketch was staged at the Hauber
through the courtesy Of O. G. Hauber
proprietor, who not only gave the
use of his house, but gave the Riddles
half Of the receipts of the evening.
Though the sketch was not greeted
by an exceptionally large audience,
the Riddles will turn in. as their first
contribution to the memorial for the
boys who won't come home, over forty
dollars.
The songs, and dances were ar
ranged by the children themselves,
who held rehearsals, and planned the
sketch without the aid of any grown
ups. Even the costumes were made
by the children. The performance
was received more enthusiastically
than any vaudeville sketch has
ed from Pine Bluff audience in some
time.
The performance was more than
credible. 1t was finished product,
presented by children who have real
ability. The songs were we'll put over,
both as regards singing and acting,
while the dancing was pronounced eX-
traordinarily remarkable considering
the age of the dancers.
Those who did not see these youth
full artists last night will have another
chance to do so. as Mr.. Hauber has
announced that he will have them re-
peat the sketch some Saturday aft
ernoon He was DESTROYS of having
them repeat for their own benefit,
but the kiddies preferred to have any
money they make out Of their per-
Torrance go to the memorial
In "I'm Glad l Can Make You
Cry" Buddie Culpepper with his
youthful partner, Mildred Everett,
took three enchores. Buddie received
some flowers from some one in the
audience, and when they were toss
ed upon the stage, he picked them up
quite unperturbedly. 1t is rumored
that the flowers were sent by Buddies
girl, but when asked concerning the
matter last night, Buddie said he
Would neither deny, nor confirm the
rumor.
Virginia Culpepper, in her song,
"I'll Say She Does" took her share
of the applause. She put her song
across in a manner which might be
a guide to number of would be"
song-singers Smiles" by Catherine
Wells and chorus was deserving of
the enthusiastic reception it receiv-
ed Little Miss Katherine also put
her song across. Elizabeth Caldwell
with reading, showed unusual tai
ent as did Louise Stephens in her
song, while "Johnny's In Town" bv
Irene Smith was highly appreciated.
All of the children acquitted them
selves we'll, and they are deserving
of much credit. Not for the perform
ance alone. but for the spirit which
prompted the performance.
Mrs. ]. w. Stephens and Mrs Rob-
ert Culpenper assisted the children
in costuming and making up off
stage. while CLYDE Vowel gave them
his services in shifting scenery.

REAL LIVE SNAKE
KILLED ON TOUR
UP MAIN STREET
Attacked by Sober and In
dustrious Crowd There's
no Room for Suspicion.

1t is quite possible that at one time
in the history of the local municip-
atty, the man who told of having seen
snake calmly taking an afternoon
crawl along Main street would elicit
no extreme measure Of surprise from
his hearers. They would regard him
with pity, but never with suspicion.
For there comes to the recollection
the time when gentlemen of both high
estate and low were wont to see
snakes. Snakes along with ping ele-
plants and purple monkeys. But
that was in the days when it was
familiar sight to see a bay -windowed
bar keep swiftly propelling tran

sent it's head up over the curb near
the Eagle store, and finding the sur

crawl calmly and contentedly south

progress was witnessed bv quite
few people who viewed the scence
with mixed, and mingled emotions.
As quite few were women, bet

No More Baseball
Until Next Spring

The baseball season seems to be
over, Weed wanted Ashland to come
to Weed for another game and would
consider no other kind of proposition.
Naturally the Weed gang seems to
think they have the right to demand
anything they want OF Ashland but
the locals couldn't see trip to
Weed, as the expense of the trip is
prohibitive both for players and fans.
Ashland enthusiasts made up a big
purse and challenged Weed to an
other game at Yreka but Weed
wouldn't take a chance. Bill James
is reported to have told the Weed
fans that they were lucky to have
got away with the last game. Ash
land was willing to back Jud Pernoll
to the limit but evidently the lumber
town fans agree with the famous gen.
eral who decided that discretion was

So It's all over until next year. Joe
Alnutt and John Enders have given
Ashland some fine ball and helped
a lot to make the past summer an
entertaining season It has cost them
close to a thousand dollars to finance
the team. owing to the fact that the
fans did not wake IN and support
the team properly until near the close
of the season. but they are game
losers and will charge up the deficit
to profit and loss with smile.
Next year Medford probably will
have a team, roads will be paved
from Ashland to Grants Pass and
over the mountain while the Green
spring road to klamath Falls will be
in good shape, With the thousands

A good ball team is a first class ad-

attractions OF Lithia park and the
sulphur baths Ashland should be the
best ball team town in this section.

Has Ashland a high school? Raf
she? From all appearances it locks
as though she has, for when school
started September s the assembly
room was well packed with old and
new students, fresh for real hard
work and with plenty of vim for the
coming athletic season.
Already a glee club and literary
society have been organized and with
the help of our well trained direc-
tors we expect to accomplish some
thing worth while.
The literary society will take up
the study of dramatics, debating and
public speaking, in weekly meetings
under the direction of Miss Pau.
The glee club has a PARTICULARS
bright outlook owing to the enthusi-
asm the students have shown in get
ting their voices tested. A good
many of last years members depart
ed with the alumni, leaving their
places to be filled by lyrical voiced
freshmen and more subdued sopho-
mores. Fhe club is under the direcr
tion OF Miss Bay, its president being
Miss Pauline Gift.
We have had a series of visits
from a good many of our last years
students this week. We are partie7
ularly interested in them, because
they are very essential to our ath-
,etics and hope soon to see them oc-
cupy the old familiar coveted back
seats in assembly.

Highs finished products, who is now

He finished his talk with cheers for

It made us all feel glad to hear the
assembly room ring with the familiar
cry of "With a wee wool"
We hear that our old enemy, Med
