This morning the 0skar Huber

the ten foot extension in the width
Of North Main street between the
Plaza and Water street. This strip
extends past the new Ford garage

Water street, and was made possi-
BILE by the Ford garage people, the

ent width to allow walk between
the building and the curb.
While the street will be widened

been removed, and the street paving
will come to the buildings fronts.

AIDING THE FARM WOMEN.

Very much more needs TO be done
before the mass of farm women will
have even the modern advantages
enjoyed by limited number, the
secretary Of agriculture points out
in his annual report to the president
The states relations service has
published the results OF a survey
through home demonstration agents
Of 10000 farm homes in northern
and western states.
Wherever il has been in operation
the system of county home demon
stration agents has proved to be the
most helpful agency for the benefit
Of farm women, and 1t should ba
expanded, the secretary asserts. He
also urges increased appropriations
for the research work of the office
Of home economics of the depart
ment. The. success of our newly es-
tablished system Of vocational edu-
cation in home economics. provided
for by the Smith-Hughes Act of 1912,
as well as of home demonstration
work, depends. he said. in no small
measure upon the maintenance of
adequate agencies for home econom-
les research.

CHILD DIES AFTER


Ruth. the little three-year-olj
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Peachey, died at IN early hour this
morning at a local hospital where she
had been an inmate since last Sat
urday. The little girl was taken III
with influenza. which was followed
by commissions, and she had lain in
an unconscious condition during the
week.
Despite the unwearied care and at
tention bestowed upon her by nurses
and physicians her life ebbed away
at 500 this morning.
The death of this little girl, occur
ring at the time when all are sup
posed to be rejoicing in the glad
Yuletide, comes as special grief to
the bereaved parents and family The
mother gave birth to a daughter yes
terday afternoon, and the fact that
she was unable TO be with her other
child at the time of its death makes
the occurrence doubly sad. Funeral
services will be held at 2.30 from the
Peachey home Sunday afternoon.

AsHLAND's QUOTA FOR ORPHAN
FARM HOME SUBSCRIBED.
One Thousand Dollars Raised for the
Home to Be Built by the W. @. t.

Credit Due to Local Citizens.

If the promises Of future payments
and verbal promises, Of immediate
payment are all realized, Ashland can
safely boast that with its cash sub
scriptions, the quota Of $1,000 for
the Orphan and Dependent Children's
Farm Home Fund has all been sub
scribed.
This plan is state wide in scope. 1t
Ia undenominational. In detail the
plan involves the purchase Of large
tract of land. Cottages will be erect
ed, which will house fifteen or twenty
children each. Children will be sent
to public schools and taught agricul-
ture on the farm. In time the farm
will produce amply to supply all needs
OF the institution.
The successful completion of the
drive has been due In large part to
the invaluable cooperation that has
been given by the local citizens in
any and every way. Thanks are Just
ly due v. o. N. Smith, Mrs. NJ. B.
Powers and to the ladies Of the w. c.
T. u, whose untiring efforts managed
the drive and solicited subscriptions,
without which aid no headway could
have been possible. Thanks are due
to the hosts OF people who helped by
contributing to the fund. After all,
II was they who provided what the
drive was inaugurated to furnish
In no less measure than the .forego-
ing. thanks are due to the good peo-
pie of Ashland who have always re-
sponded beautifully to every fund OF
a worthy nature, many more of whom
would have subscribed had they been
offered the opportunity.
During the war, Ashland was first
among the cities OF the state many
times in going over the top in drives
It IS good TO know that we have not
lost this ability, as has been suffici-
emily demonstrated in this last in

abor. Thus, a situation has been

labor. Thus, situation has beer
created similar to that which oul
own Samuel Gompers experienced
namely, struggle fer the upper
hand between the conservative ant
radical labor elements. Thus far
the Mexican Federation OF Labor
which is designed to maintain par
allel lines with the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor and of which Tho
Communist Federation Is an off
shoot, has retained the majority.
The Communist element, at
meeting which the writer attended
attempted recently to call general
strike in Mexico City. There were
ample "vivas" for Trotzky and Le'
nine. but the strength of the reds
was not sufficient TO swing the
strike.
ObregOn hae two principle remedies
for the present critical situation. He
believes. first, that one OF the diff
culties is the lack Of an adequate
labor law and one OF his first acts
as president will be to introduce q
bill before Congress setting forth
the privileges and the duties OF
both capital and labor. Secondly
he considers that the industrial de-
velopment OF Mexico. which he pre-
diets will be tremendous now that
peace is established. will create such
a demand for labor that the stua-
ton will automatically adjust itself.
The latter belief is good logic. but
Obregon may, or may not, realize
that the launching Of this industrial
boom depends, largely, upon Mexico
settling the outstanding issues with
foreign governments. especially the
United States. and obtaining the rec
Dgnition OF the United States for the
new Mexican administration.
Mexico's industries and resources
cannot be developed without foreign
,apital. And foreign capital is not
likely 10 enter Mexico in any ap-
,reclable sums until foreign govern
nents recognize Mexieo's stability, or
n some way define their attitude
.oward the new Mexican regime.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO OPEN
SUNSET ROUTE JANUARY

The Sunset Route via New Orleans
will be reopened for through travel
January /, 1921. on the basis of pas
senger fares applying via otherroutes
to and from practically the territory
served at equal fares by the Sunset
Route for 81 years prior to the clos
Ing OF the New Orleans gateway in
October 1919, by order of the then
Railroad Administration.
This announcement has Just been
made by Chas. S. Fee, passenger traf-
fic manager, Southern Pacific, who
said: "An unsuccessful attempt was
made few months ago to prevent
the re-establishment of these equal
fares over the Sunset Route and
through the New Orleans gateway,
but the new Southern Pacific tariff
filed recently received tho approval
of the interstate commerce commits
sion and will become effective Jan
uary l, next.
"The reopening OF the New Orleans
gateway and the restoration of pre-
war fare adjustments via that gate
way means the return to the public
of the advantages OF this popular
route, which was so well patroni2ed
prior to federal control, and further,
recognizes the right OF the Southern
Pacific lines to compete for traffic
via New Orleans between points like
Chicago. Louisville, Cincinnati and
points beyond and alrpoints in Cali
fornia at fares equal TO those in eff
feet via any other lines"
