VACATION BIBLE
SCHOOL ENROLLS
OVER 100 PUPILS

Think what's coming tomor-
row." That is what the children
were saying about the Daily Vaca-
tion Bible school the day before
il opened. An hour before the
opening the children began to as
semble. In long double line ex-
tending from the Chautauqua Pi-
oneer hall they waited the pre-
liminary work OF registration.
over 100 were registered Oh the
first day representing children OF
eleven denominations. While this
was the first day Of school the
program was conducted almost
as it will be in the remaining
days.
Curing the first hour OF school,
With a fine spirit the children sing
some OF the best hymns, listen to
a short habit talk, have Bible
lesson in definite series of les
sons, learn some nature songs. and
calisthenic drills, breathing exer.
eises and tone work.
During the second hour OF
school, various kinds of industrial
work are taught, such as making
OF picture frames, baskets, whisk
broom holders, hammoeks. bird
houses, book racks, table mats,
aHd large variety of objects suit
able for the different grades.
BE sure to come tomor-
row. said the teachers as the
children left the building. "You
bet" shouted the boys as they
went upon their way.
There were about as many as
girls registered, though the girls
beat by only four.
The school reassembles for the
closing exercise, which includes
the salute to the flag. singing OF
America and the children's bene-
diction which is, Suffer the lit
tic children to come unto me and
forbid them not for of such is the
Kingdom OF Cod"
Ashland is the first city in Or
eBon to conduct one OF these
schools, according to the stand
ards Of schools in the east. There
was one school somewhat similar
in Portland last year lasting for
two weeks. In the whole country
last year about 952 schools were
active enrolling over one hun
dred thousand children. 1t is
probable that as many as fifteen

S. P. CO. TAKES
. OVER RDEPOT HOTEL

On July 10, julius P. Wolff will
turn over the Depot hotel to the
S. P, company and it will be OPP
Grated thereafter by the dining car
department of that road.
Mr. Wolff's health has been
poor for the last two years. the
strain of handling the immense
trade incident to the movement
of troops under the uncer-
tainties of war, was too much
for him, and he has been trying
to dispose of the property for some
time, but the company decided it
did not want to risk the import
ant dining station to new man
agement so II decided to take over
Tie property itself. The S. p.
company takes over all of Mr..
VOLTS equipment and will re-
model the station in many re-
srects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wolff will take
much needed rest, remaining at
Ashland, however, where they
have their home as well as other
city property. They have had
charge Of the Depot hotel for IA
years continuously and have made
money every year.
The Depot hotel was opened 33
years ago, before the gap in the
Northern California and Southern
Oregon lines was connected. 1t has
had but four managers in all its
history The first was Mr.. Claw
son, the next was J. A. Grass, the
next Hum Pracht and then j. z.
Wolff. Under these manage
ments the Ashland eating station
has established reputation far
and wide for its good eats" and
under the management
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Wolff it has es-
tablished lasting reputation.
The company pays a very high
compliment to Mr.. Wolff's man
agement by continuing his splen-
did system of handling the
crowds, although they operate 27
eating houses and have perfect
ed systems for the economical
handling OF passengers generally. |
Citizens will be glad to learn
that Mr.. and Ms. Wolff will not
leave Ashland and their good |
wishes for the improvement of
Mr.. VOLTS health are general.

The efforts which peach grow
ors of this country are making
at this time of the year to forecast
the size Of the seasons crop calls
attention to the immense value
of a fungicide developed by the
United States department of ag-
rirulture, with which brown rot,
one of the most serious menaces
to the peach industry, can be
controlled. But for this simple,
effective remedy the present fore
casts would of necessity have to
he made on an altogether differ
ent basis. The bureau of crop
estimates, United States depart
mcnt of agriculture. which fore
casts the 1920 commercial crop at
29, 100000 bushels ( based on con-
ditions, April 81, states that its
reporters everywhere regard the
fungicide as the big factor that
prevents a decline of the peach
industry similar to that from
which apple growing has suffered
in parts of the Middle West.
Up to a few years ago there
was no satisfactory fungicide
which could be sprayed on
peaches during the growing sea-
son without seriously injuring the
foliage. Everything which was
tried to control the brown-rot
fungus resulted in damage that
made it prohibitive. Finally a
simple mixture made by adding
flour Of sulphur to Stacking lime
was found by the departments
Investigators to have Just the
right qualities.

RULES FOR CAMPERS
BY FOREST OFFICIALS

"Be careful" is the forest pro
lection and and fire prevention
week warning being issued by the
federal forest service, the state
board Of forestry in a cooperative
effort to reduce the number OF
fires in the forests.
Eighty per cent of the more
than 100 fires within the ma
tional forests of this state last
year were man caused" and all
of them could have been prevent
ed II people had been careful, ac-
cording to forestry officials.
Campers who thoughtlessly left
their camp fires to spread over
thousands of acres were the chief
offenders. while ranchers burn
ing brush, numbering operations,
railroads, and incendiaries who
deliberately fired the forest were
contributing factors, it is said.
People who visit the national
forests during the coming sum
mer can best observe the slogan
"Iielp Prevent Fires" which Gov
ernor Stephens so strongly urges
in his forest protection and fire
prevention week proclamation, by
remembering the six rules" ac-
cording to forestry officials.
These rules, issued by the fed
eral forest service. are:
/. Matches. Be sure your
match is out. Pinch it before you
throw it away.
2. Tobacco. Throw pipe ashes
and cigar or cigarette stumps in
the dust of the road and stamp
or pinch out the fire before leav-
inS them. Don't throw them into
the brush, leaves or needles.
3. Making camp. Build a
small campfire. Build it in the
open, not near a tree or log OF
nearby brush. Scrape away the
trash from all around it.
4. Leaving camp. Never
leave campfire, even for a short
time, without quenching it with
water and then covering it with
earth.
S. Bonfires. Never build bon
fires in dry weather or where
there is the slightest danger of
their escaping your control. Don't
make them larger than you need.
6. Fighting fires. If you find
fire, try to put ii out. II you
can't, get word of it to the near
est United States forest ranger
or state fire warden at once.

CABARET BEFORE
4TH CELEBRATION

The Society cabaret. to be held
under the auspices of the National
Guard company, will be held on
the night of Friday, July 2, ac-
cording to the latest advices.
This change is due to the fact
that many members Of the com
pany, including the officers, must
go to a preliminary encampment
in the middle of this month, and
consequently II was thought that
July 2 would be the most appro-
iiate date, also as many OF the
local Shriners will be in Portland
the latter part of this month.
No effort or pains are to be
spared to make this Society cab
aret the biggest event in Ashland's
social history.

tionery stores in the city. fnvi-
tation lists will also be placed in

HIGHWAY SHOULD BE
COMPLETED BEFORE
TRAIL, SAYS BOOTH

AT the meeting of the highway
commission in Portland this week
. Tiller Trail was a bone OF con-
tention for few minutes. This
is proposed shortcut to Crater
lake from Douglas county. The
government has spent consider
money on the road, but there are
two dead ends. About $40, 900
more is required to make the road
passable as dirt road. Douglas
county offered $4,000 for the cut
eff; there is road district with
$4,000 more and it was suggested
that the state give $4,000 or
$4,000. The argument for Til
Ter Trail is that il will save rs
miles between Portland and Cra-
ter lake and that the trail will
have to be used when the Canyon
section OF the Pacific highway is
being paved. For this trail, $751;
coo has already been appropriated
by the government and the state
ana there remains four miles OF
Lew road to be located, most of
the mileage being an old wagon
or horse path.
Commissioner Benson argued
that the trail should be completed,
as there is lot of money already
spent on it, and enough more
should be appropriated to make 1t
serviceable. Mr.. Booth replied
that the commission is already
committed to the construction OF
the trail, but he thought it should
wait until the Pacific highway is
taken care Of first. Mr.. Cecil of
the forestry service declared his
department is particularly inter
ested in completing the road as a
fire prevention, because of the
large amount OF timber in that
vicinity, The commission agreed
to think it over.
Hays Hill to BE Graded.
An estimate of $4,000 is made
for grading Hays Hill on the
Grants Pass-Crescent City high
way. Josephine county, the state
and the forestry department will
each contribute one-third and the
work will start in the fall County
Judge Gillette was informed that
the commission will take no ac-
tion on the highway between
Kirby and the California line un-
til something official has been re-
Cejved from the California COM
nlissioners. Rumor has it that
the California commission has
adopted the Elk creek route,
which makes the heaviest CON
struction on the California end.
The commission promised to rock
the grade north of Grants Pass
before winter.
On receiving assurances that the
county court of Coos county is
grading from Coquille to Myrtle
Point the commission announced
that this grade will be rocked. A
demand was made to pave 1900
feet between North Bend and
Overhead Bridge Awarded.
The contract for the overhead
bridge on the Pacific highway y.
south of Ashland was awarded to
c. H. Natrick for $11,630 at this ,
meeting of the commission.
