west we got IL. The only trouble was
that the next day It all came back,
en- route for whence 1t came, and
brought n considerable part of west
Texas with it. Anyway, II was an even
break as we have just as much sand
now as we had before the spring winds
began. We may possibly have more Of
such winds before this gets to press.
Some Deming citizens seem a bit
ashamed of our sandstorms and even
go to the length Of excusing them bS
the usual alibi: ut doesn't blow this
way all the time" You know the an
swer, of course: yep, IL blows the
other way part of the time" There Is
n great deal OF respect due TO the old
desert rat who had spent his life
time In this vicinity, and likes 1t, who
answered the tenderfoots remark,
that "the wind certainly blew here"
by the laconic observation: well,
pardner, what in ell would you ex-
peet the wind to do?'
1t is a curious fact that the Deming
boys who went TO distant camps and
later to France, where IL rains inces-
sanity, were eager to get back to
southern New Mexico where the sand
flies but not the rain and snow (;
where chilblains are unknown and n
lizard doesn't have to cary a chip to
sit on when 1t stops running.
why be ashamed OF our sandstormsg
It's good clean sand and not the mi
crobe-laden dust of many cities we
could name that brings infection and
death with II. 1t won't even stain the
clothing, as some dust will that flies
In other parts. 1t is confidently told

(By Clyde Earl Ely
The wind drove down the mountain
pass,
And swept n dusty gale,
That flung the choking, binding mass,
To drift across the trail.
The sun that made the morning bright
At noon was lost in haze,
And sank from sight before the night
Is wont to dim its rays.
The devils dance in desert sands,
Like angry spume Mt sea,
And yucca palms clap ghostly hands,
When imps laugh loud in glee.

A pale and sickly moon peered through
A fog of swishing sand,
That demons never firing strew,
Ger leagues Of sage brush land
The fusillade Of sand renewed,>
Its clamor through the night
And screeching witches hell pursued
Fled on till morning light.
The wailing spirits OF the dark,
Had gone at break O. day,
And ripping sand waves only mark,
Where Satan chose to play.

COUNTY PIONEERS
MEET IN REUNION

A large number of Ashland
people, pioneers of the county and
their descendants were in Jack
sonyille yesterday attending the
annual Pioneers reunion which
was held there. Dinner was
served in the Odd Fellows hall,
which was conceded to have been
one of the most sumptuous feasts
ever placed before this body.
Mrs. H. II. Sargent, wife of
Colonel Sargent of Jacksonville,
was the principal speaker in the
afternoon. Her address dealt on
the historical points of Southern
Oregon not usually brought up,
and she gave many Indian legends
lot heretofore published. The
meeting yesterday was one of the
most popular gatherings of the
Kind ever held.

FOR VICTORY MEDALS

Donald NJ. Spencer has applica.
tion blanks for the Victory med
ais for which all men who served
in the world war are entitled. Mr..
Spencer has been requested to
handle these applications. and
he is very glad to do so for his ex-
comrades in arms. Each medal
has bars marked with the various
engagements in which the soldiers
participated, and in this manner it
is necessary for each man to fill
out his own application. There
are also applications for next of
kin, so parents who lost a son in
the service may obtain this beau
tiful tribute in memory of their
boy. Mr.. Spencer has two OF
these medals which are beautiful
mementoes for the ex-service men
to possess.

pense on individual members the
Chamber of Commerce gave as
surance of financial assistance for
next year. After that time II is
evident that the association will
have increased its membership
and so many new cows will have
been brought into the valley that
the running expenses will be COW
cred. The future of this valley as
Il dairy center is most flattering.
College experts state that the
valley soil is full of lime and the
minerals necessary to the produc-
ton of alfalfa carrying the high.

production.
This testing of the cows insures
a graded herd, does away with
"boarders," makes for the most
economical feeding for maximum
production, and gives to the con-
sumer proven pure milk at the
minimum of expense.

C. G. CO-OPERATES WITH
COW FEEDING ASSN

The cooperative team work OF
the city and farm members of the
Ashland Chamber of Commerce
was materially manifested at last
nights Chamber of Commerce
meeting and the result will be Il
health protective one to every
child and adult in Ashland. The
material part was the generous
financial response of the Cham
ber of Commerce toward next
years work of the Rogue River
Cow Testing association. and the
health protective feature is the
guarantee OF pure tested milk
from the herds of the association
members.
The Cow Testing association was
organized less than a year ago for
the purpose of bringing the cows
up TO maximum In health, high
est butter fat production and
keeping tab on feeding costs. ].
B. Picham, an expert in this line
is employed by the association.
He spends twenty-four hours
every thirty days in each herd and
tests each cow weighing the feed
she consumes so that the health,
butter fat production and feeding
cost of each individual COW is a
matter of record
The members of the association
pay three dollars per year per
COW and share the living expenses
of the testor by furnishing board
and lodging during his tests of
their herds and conveying him TO
the next ranch. This association
work has made for a better rela-
ton between dairymen and cream
cries. The Ashland creamery and
the two creameries at Medford
have contributed toward the ex-
pense and have furnished the
acid for testing.
A salary OF one hundred dol
lars a month is paid to the testor
and to get the organization going
several members have subscribed
from fifteen to twenty dollars
more than their share according
to number Of cows in herd. The
association members have sus-
tained financial loss in eliminat-
ing from their herds cows that
were not paying for their keep.
These cows we're sold for beef.

Will Organize
County YM.C.A.

A number of Ashland men went
to Medford yesterday afternoon
to meet with a group of men from
that part of the county for the
purpose of discussing the County
Y. NJ. C. A. program and its ap-
plication to Jackson county.
After hearing of the splendid
work which has been accomplish
ed in Marion and tTmatilla coun-
ties, which have been organized
only one year, it w9s decided that
we should adopt this work in our
county and steps were taken to-
ward such an organization by the
election of j. C. Mann, chairman;
V. o. N. Smith, vice chairman;
Walter Frazer Brown, secretary.
An executive committee of these
three and one man from each of
the larger towns of the valley will
have charge of the organization
work.
This work is comparatively new
in Oregon, but some of the coun-
ties of California have been Or
ganized as much as IA years. It
differs from the city Y. NJ. C. A.
work in that it is not necessary
to have an expensive building, the
cost of which would be prohib-
tive in our small cities. John H.
Rudd, county work secretary for
Oregon and Idaho. is here and
will assist in the organization.

y
1t is the Ashland Chamber of
Commerce now. Whenever this
organization of business and pro-
fesslonal men and citizens is re-
ferred to hereafter, the old-time
title, Commercial Club" should
be discarded and the more digni-
fled cognomen, Chamber OF Com
merce," will be used. This was
according to the decision of that
body which met in the Chautau-
qua Pioneer hall last evening for
the purpose of deciding upon the
change in name of the organiza-
tion, and various other important
matters that were to come before
il.
A representative gathering OF
the members responded to the call
issued by Secretary ]. H. Fuller
for meeting last evening. Pres
ident Ferguson presided. and a
new constitution and bylaws were
read to the members, and we're
adopted. The changing OF the
name from Copmercial Club to
Chamber OF Commerce met with
general favor by the members and
was adopted without a dissent
ing voice.
Several other important topics
were touched upon to be brought
up and acted upon more fully by
the Chamber OF Commerce in con-
nection with outside interests.

the people of this valley to the
fact that assistance might be OBJ
tanned from the government in
forwarding the cause of irriga-
tlon so that hundreds of acres of
land which are now non-produc-
tive or producing only a minimum
OF their capacity may be brought
under the great benefits of wa
ter, and made to blossom like

Senator McNary being chair
man of the senate committee on
these matters speaks with no lit

great interest manifested by MIN

to awaken to our necessities and
possibilities. Senator McNary
said:
"The ride through Ashland,
leaving out of consideration our
magnificent park, taking in the
Boulevard, of course, with its long
stretch of parked pavement, was
enough to cause a stranger to sit
up and take notice"
The senator is a very pleasing
gentleman to meet and people of
both political persuasions were
well satisfied with Oregon's jun
ior senator.

ed over the meeting and at the
