change of ideas and definite instruc-
ton along definite lines.
Continued lectures and demontra-
tons have been given each week at
the Community Kitchen in this city.
These have been attended by boys and
girls of the clubs and interested house
keepers from in and out of town.
Recently the Chamber of Commerce
has appropriated money to assist in
the maintenance of the rest room es-
tablished last year.
The services of a coloTad matron
have been secured, and the rest room
is now open each day for the comfort
of town and out of town shoppers.
At intervals throughout the year,
special agents from the extension de-
partment of L. S. u. have visited the
parish and given instruction in their
individual line.
The work, especially along agrieuI-
tural lines is at its height and no final
statistics can be given either in
moneyed valuation or quantity of food
material conserved.
In each club the individual is re-
ceiv1ng personal attention as to the
best method of carrying on his or her
projects and reports of the work are
being tabulated for the final report at
the conclusion of the season.

Ashland had an attempted hold
up last evenin, when Leslie
Hubbard, a Southern Pacific en-
ploye, was stopped by two men on
Fourth street, one of whom present
ed a revolver before his face and
demanded him to hold up his hands.
Quick action on the part of Hubbard
put the thugs to rout before they
had time to search his pockets. Hub
bard, who is a nephew of Mrs. j. w.
Hatcher, wife of the chief of the city
police, had been calling at his aunt's
house on Gresham street. and had
left at about $3.50 for his boarding
place at the Depot hotel. Going
down Fourth street he saw two men
standing under the large cottonwood
tree on the west side of the street.
obstructing the walk. Hubbard
stepped out on the lawn to get past
the men, when one pulled out a re-
yolver and showed it in his face with
the demand that he hold up his hands.
Quick as a flash Hubbard caught
the gun and held onto it, while call
ing for help. A number OF men
rushed from the Potter rooming
house across the street and when the
highwaymen saw they were observed
they took to their heels and disap-
peared in the darkness. No trace
could be found If them as it was too
dark for Hubbard to see to identify
them later.
