LOCAL BASKETBALL TEAM
WINS MEDFORD SERIES

There was one jazzy crowd whit
witnessed the red and white baske
ball team trim their ancient rival
at the Meford Nat Friday night TO
the third victory over the black an'
red.
This clash certainly lacked moth
ing in the line of thrills and Greg
and Mansfield, the Ashland ant
Medford Yell Chiefs respectively, hat
little trouble in securing pep from
the riff raft" sections.
1t was by far the hardest Tough
game Of the season and was eithel

serted itself and the local huskiei

The fourth and final game of the

Cherry Tree Day to
be Permanent Event

|
No greater tribute was ever paid
to the father of our country than tho
Establishing OF a cherry tree day,
which was effected in the city
hall Saturday afternoon by a COM
pany Of earnest orchardists from
the Ashland and the outlying district
who met for the purpose Of estab-
fishing In Ashland record for cher
ries that will so down In history.
This meeting was arranged by the
Commercial Club and representatives
Of the Farm Bureau, and its object
was to arouse interest in the plant.
ing of cherry trees In every yard if
the city and surrounding districts.
Clark Bush, president of the ASH
land Commercial Club, opened the
meeting by explaining the hearty CO.
operation this organization is extend
Ing to the Farm Bureau in all It's
projects for the welfare OF the COM
munity interests OF city and suburb
an districts, among which the rails
ing Of fruit occupies no small place.
"Poking fun at fruit growing In
this valley is going to cease, because
we are going to eliminate the fail
ures and emulate the successes.
was the prophetic remark made by
John H. Dill, whose two-acre farm
is a shining example OF what a man
may do with energy, perseverance,
and faith in himself and his COM
munity. Mr.. Dill Is one man who
can show conclusively that fruit can
be made to pay in the Rogue River
valley, and he showed in most en-
tertaining manner that Ashland as 4
fruit growing district is not a fail
ure.
AS this was cherry day. Mr.. Dill
dwelt particularly upon the results
to be obtained from shipping the
right sort Of cherries, in the raising
OF which he claims Ashland cannot
be excelled in any part of the United
States.
Prof. c. C. Cate, county farm
agent, claimed in his remarks that
followed, that the time has come
when cold water should not be
thrown upon the fruit industry Of
Jackson county. While many m AZ
takes had been made in the nast
that necessitated desperate meas
ures, fruit raising has been and will
be one OF the best paying Industries
OF the county, and as such should be

high school boy, who has come to
Ashland from Honolulu in an effort
to regain health. and who is fast win
ming the hearts OF Ashland audiences
by his magnificent playing.
One Of the principal speakers of
the evening was the address by Lieu
tenant William NJ. Briggs, returned
soldier who spoke on the theme,
Our Boys at Home" Lieut.. Briggs
appealed to the men and boys OF
Ashland to cooperate in building
up a military company here at home
and keep up the reputation that the
old First company of Ashland estab-
lished. He wove in many personal
experiences in the training camps
which were OF especial interest to
the young boys present.
Brief talks were made by Rev. w.
L. Melllnger and DR.. D. M. Brewer,
after which Prof. A. B. Sweetser Of
the University of Oregon gave an ad-
dress. "0h, Boy" was the topic OF
Prof. sweetser's remarks. He pre-
sented few slides, which, he claim
ed, were simply the pegs on which
to hang the themes to impress the
memory. His particular Injunction
to the youth was to quit their bluff
ing, and stop making excuses. When
la thing has to be done, Prof. Sweet
| ser, said, the thing to do is to get In
and do 1t. He cited the incident in
the Spanish-American war made i'm
mortal by the pen of Fra Elbertus,
in his Impeachment, Carrying the
Message to Garcia" Other incidents
we're given as examples of the men
who have met a crisis and carried Off
critical situation simply by doing
the thing, regardless of the appar-
ent impossibility.
Despite the overcrowded condition
which somewhat overwhelmed the
management for time, the affair
was conducted in an efficient and
praiseworthy manner, and the Sec
ond Fathers and Sons" annual ban
quet will go down in history as one
of the most successful events Of its
kind in the history of the city.

is ASHLAND TO HAVE A
NATIONAL GUARD COMPANY?

One hundred and four signatures
must be secured, and so far only 81
have signed up. The full number,
104, must be secured and sent to
headquarters by March 1st or We
fail. The terms offered by oui
Government are liberal and when
generally understood there should
be no difficulty whatever in securing
the full enlistment promptly.
Read the Conditions.
Age limits IS to 45-Men over As
are eligible provided they have had
previous military training.
Outfit-Uniform and all equip
ment furnished by Government free.
Enlistment is for 8 years and on
expiration of this 3 year period, the
member goes in the Reserve, subject
to call OF the Government in case of
emergency for 8 years additional.
Drill-During the 3 year period,
the enlisted man is required to drill
4S times each year or in other words,
only about " hours each week.
Pay-Enlisted men are allowed
25 per cent of the regular army pay,
or about $500 per month.
In case of change Of residence the
enlisted man is released without any
annoying Formally.
Furlough-30 day furloughs are
allowed when absence from home Is
necessary or other emergency arises
and this leave is extended on appli-
cation,
Armory--The armory will oil
course, be the headquarters OF the
company. Janitor service is furnish
ed by the Government and the COM
pany is allowed to use its armory
for all its social activities. Surely
the, above requirements cannot be
considered as exacting. 1t is not at
all improbable that our Government
will, ultimately enact universal
training law, in which event mem
bers OF the National Guard would
probably be given preferment as of
ficers in the new organizations.
The d-Talent-Phoenix dis
trict has made an envlable record in
all the war activities the past two
years. Surely 1t will not fail in the
organization OF this new company.
Our Commercial Club is taking an
active interest in securing enlist
ments and is being assisted by a
committee from the Elks. If we are
to succeed, enlistments must be
made THIS WEEK. Let every
eligible man give this movement his
support.
Sign up, boys, and make the
Armory the military and social
headquarters for Southern Jackson
county.

Many public events are frequently
spoiled by unpopularity, but the an.
nual banquet for the fathers and
sons of Ashland last Thursday eve
ming came near being spoiled by
over-popularity, when the Moose
hall where the banquet was served
bade fair to being swamped by at
tendants at the opening hour. Ar
rangements had been made for the
seating of 200 at the tables, but an
overflow of upwards of sixty more
were given a stand-up lunch.
During the gathering Of the as
semblage the Ashland band gave a
highly appreciative concert, after
which the guests were seated at the
beautifully appointed tables pre-
pared by committee of women rep
resenting the various churches Of
the city, under the efficient director
ship Of Mrs. W. L, Mellinger. Mayor
C. B. Lamkin acted as POSTMASTER
and as the meal progressed, read
several kilograms from far-off
friends and distinguished personag-
es, who sent greetings and regrets
for not being able to be present DR..
]. B. Webster and H. P. Holmes act
ed as messenger boys for the Postal
Telegraph and Western Union COM
panies, and delivered the messages
hot off the wire.
Harold Humbert, general secre-
tary of the Oregon Sunday school
association, sent the following:
Hope banquet will give fathers
and sons new stimulus for moral
victories"
Ivan B. Rhodes, state secretary Of
the Y. NJ. G. A., who is just back
after years service in France, sent
greetings as follows:
Greetings to fathers and sons Of
Ashland. Sorry not to be with you.
France is nice country, but not in
same class with Oregon. Fighting
is over. but lots of things yet to be
done to make democracy safe in the
world"
