light fell across the grewsome object.
Az, 1t was a woman. with lower limbs

peared flushed with health, her lips
half smiling. 1t was a face Of real
beauty-an English face, although her
syes and hair were dark and her man.
hlla and long earrings were unques-
tionably Spanish. A string Of pearls
sncircled her throat, and there were
numerous rings upon her fingers. The
very contrast added UNNECESSARILY to
the horror.
"She IL alive! Surely she is alive !"
The words were sobbed into my ear
from Dorothy's lips.
"Alive! No, that is impossible !" I
touched the figure with my hand. 1.-THE

gloating Of revenge; there can be no
other answer-this Is the end Of a
tragedy"
There was nothing, not a scrap Of
paper, not even the semblance Of a
wound exposed. The smile on those
parted lips had become one Of mock
cry; I could bear the sight no longer,

thing hidden, to escape the stare Of

those red lips. It was no longer a

LACK Of TEACHERS
TO CLOSE SCHOOLS

SALEM, Ore, Sept. 21-Many
OF the smaller high schools in Or
egon face the prospect of being
compelled to close their doors
through inability to employ teach
ers, according to ]. A. Churchill,
state superintendent of public in
struction.
Jacksonville, in Jackson coun-
ty, has appealed for permission to
suspend for one year, with a pro-
posal to send their high school
students to Medford by wagon,
paying their tuition under pro-
visions of the high school tuition
fund act. Merrill, in Josephine
county, also faces the same prob
lem. Should it become necessary
to suspend these schools, the su-
perintendent declared, they would
not necessarily lose their rating as
standardized high schools, as per-
mission to close could be granted
in an emergency.
Rural grade schools are begin
ming to open and no reports have
yet been made as to the teacher
shortage, although the situation
is expected to show a serious con-
dition in the more remote rural
districts.

ACCIDENTS ARE FEWER

The field of railroad operation
is growing less hazardous and the
grade crossing safer to the public
according to interesting statistics
assembled by r. ] Clancy, assist
ant to general manager in charge
of safety for the Southern Pa
cific company.
The "Stop-Look-Listen" cam
paign inaugurated by the road and
followed up persistently has
brought about a reduction in
grade crossing casualties in the
face of large increase in the
number of automobiles in use in
the territory trayersed by the
Southern Pacific lines. Whereas
in the first six months of 1918
there were 23 people killed and
So injured at grade crossings,
during the same period in 1919
there were II killed and so in
jured and for the first six months
of this year fatalities were re-
dnced to 1S and 81 injuries.
This achievement in accident
prevention is regarddl particu-
larly noteworthy in view of the
fact that about twc-thirds of the
mileage of the Southern Pacific
is in territory where climatic con
ditions permit motoring every day
in the year and the range of au-
tomobiles per capita of popula-
tion is among the highest in the
United States. California rivals
all states, having row about one
tenth of all the automobiles of
the country.

PRESENT YEAR HAS
GOOD FRUIT CROP

The Ashland Friut and Produce
association is one of the busiest
sections of the city these days,
where packing and shipping of
fruit is going on from early morn
ing until late at night. While the
fruit crop this year is much light
er than that of other years, the
quality is excellent, and the asso-
citation has nothing to complain
of when it comes to everything
but peaches. This latter crop is
slim this year, but those on the
market are exceptionally fine, pre-
sumably on account of the small
amount on the trees.
Pears are a good crop this year,
as are plums and prunes. The
Bartlett pears have been packed
and shipped, and next week will
see the packing Of the D'Anjou,
the Bose and Comice. Indications
point to a good crop of these later
pears. The association has just

Stadium Planned
For Orient Games

/ TOKYO, Aug. 19.-(By Mail. !
In order that she may take a
commanding place in athletic
events in the Orient, particularly
the Oriental Olympic sports, To-
kyo is building vast athletic
park and stadium at a cost of more
than million yen. The track
will be larger than the Olympic
track in Stockholm, and great care
has been exercised in the planning
thereof, this being in charge of
experts who were sent to Europe
to study the best features of tracks
there. The tracks will include
one of 400 yards and another of
zoo yards, but the original plan
to include baseball diamond was
abandoned, it being common opin-
ion that the two features cannot
be successfully combined.
On the west side of the field
will be an inclined grassy slope,
which will be able to accommo-
date some 10000 spectators,
while on the east side will be a
grandstand with seats for $1,000
spectators. Inside this stand will
be dressing and bath rooms, din
ing halls and even dormitories for
visiting teams. Work on leveling
the grounds has already begun,
and it is expected that the entire
structure will be completed by
1928.

"FLAPPERS" MAKE GOOD

LONDON. - (By Mail. )-The
much maligned Whitehall Flap
pers" have made good.
All those young girls who dur
ing the war scandalized their So
ber brethren in government Of
fices with their cups of tea ahd
/ power-puffs are no longer recog-
nizable as "flaDperc." They are
distributed in all directions.
A small minority of the ultra
mischievous have gone back to
the parental roof, but the great
majority are working hard to get
the Old Country on its CONNER
cial feet and they are to be found
in banks, lawyers offices, and
big commercial houses of all
kinds.
When the piping days Of peace
closed scores of government de-
partments, there was general
reluctance among the employers
10 give these girls trial. How
ever, some of the more enterpris-
ing came forward and engaged
patches of them regardless of the
attention they paid to silk stock
ings and powder-puffs-and from
inquiries made by the United
Press, they have not regretted it.
The secretary Of a large ship
ping firm declared that the girls
are much more assiduous than
men in their work"
A representative of the Har-
rods department store said they
had not turned down any appli-
cants for posts merely because
they had formerly been in gov
ernment employ. This firm has
absorbed many Whitehall flap
pers and their services are re-
ported as giving as much salts
faction as those OF any other class
of employees.

THE QUESTION SOW

The decision at the polls Sat
urday to adopt the Ashland creek
water proposition, does not do
away with the necessity OF voting
upon the Buck lake plan next
Thursday, it simply changes the
question before the voters.
Until Saturday the matter to be
decided was which. if either, OF
the two plans should be adopted.
Having decided to build up Ash
land creeks water supply, the
question now is, "Shall the city
purchase the Buck lake property
as source of additional supply
when the Ashland creek supply
shall prove inadeqrate?"
In other words, IL is now up to
the taxpayers to decide whether
they will depend upon the supply
to be obtained from the bond is
sue voted Saturday and make no
arrangements for additional wa
ter until this supply proves mad
equate, or shall they procure that
additional supply now in anticipa-
tion of the future
As to the merits Of the proposal,
that is a question to be deter
mined solely by the interested
taxpayers-and II is to be hoped
that more than 80 per cent will be
interested enough tc turn out and
vote.
But whether it is desired to Sc.
cure this additional supply now or
later, it will be necessary for the
voters to cast their ballots on the
subject next Thursday. AS mat
ers stand at present, the city may
we'll be pledged TO both PROPOSE
ions.
So don't sit back and let the
'ther fellow do it. Get out to the
'olls and express your own opin-
on in the matter. whether for or
gainst. then you will have le-
.itimate right to Kick" II things
ont go to suit you.
II you don't vote, however, you
have no cause for com
lalnt, no matter what is done.

SHEEP MAKE MEAT
OF WASTE PASTURE

The keeping of a reasonable
number of sheep on the average
farm does not necessitate the
keeping of fewer dairy cows oi
other grazing stock. This fact
was determined by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in its recent investigation OF
sheep-raising possibilities in New
England. II was found that farms
where sheep are kept successfully
have practically the same number
and kinds Of other livestock as
other farms of like area where no
sheep are kept. and that the acre
age in crops on the two classes Of
farms is substantially the same.
The inference is that the farmer
who keeps no sheep is simply
throwing away enough pasturage
that cows and other livestock do
not utilize to net him a profit.

Wants Petitions
Signed This Week

A most important meeting Of
the State Highway Commission
occurs next week at which it is
imperative that the county judge
and commissioners attend in the
interest of Jackson county's road
building program. BY being out
of the county next week, the COM
missioners could not accept the
county seat removal petitions at
the end Of the month and there
fore these must be presented
somewhat earlier than anticipated.
Due to the above conditions,
those having petitions are re-
quested to double their efforts to
get as many signatures as posi-
BILE before next Thursday evening
as the petitions must be turned in
to the county clerk on Friday to
be checked up and Saturday will
be the last day upon which the
commission could accept the petit
tiOns so that the question may
appear upon the ballot for the
November election.
The committee have estimated
that Ashland should furnish 700
signatures to this petition, but at
the present time there are less
than 200 who have signed. Citi-
zens who are interested are urged
to sign one of the petitions not
later than Wednesday or Thurs
day of this week.
