ARE THERE REALLY
MURDER MONTHS

Have you ever heard Of the
"Almanack of Crime? 1t is one
of the most remarkable almanacs
ever published, and is the re-
suit Of many years research by
a well known European rrime eX-
pert, who has been steadily col
lecting statistics for it nearly all
his life.
The origin of this unique al
manac is very simple. Like Il
good many others, the expert
thought not only that crime was
more common during certain
months of the year, but that GER
tain crimes occurred more fre-
quently in one month than in
another. No one else, however.
has taken the trouble to test the
theory thoroughly, and so the al
manaC was born.
The compiler found that most
cases of murder occurred in Jan
uary June and August, and
fewest in November, December
and February, The fayorite
month with poisoners is May,
while the month they liked least
ia September. September, in fact,
is one of the least "rrimey"
months in the whole calendar.
Just as murderers dislike No
yember and December, it was just
in these months that burglars
and thieves generally got busy.
Forgers, as one might have ex-
pected, chose round about quar-.
ter days more frequently than
any others times in the year to
show their skill.

Republican CIup
ORGANIZED With
Over1O0 Members

Under the direction of Walter
l.. Tooze, Sr., district manager
of the Leonard Wood campaign
for president, a republican club
was formally organized and
launched in Ashland last evening.
A meeting was held in the par
lors of the Hotel Austin where
the club elected officers and out
lined the schedules of their cam
paign. Fred C. Homes was chosen
as president of the new club;
William NJ. Briggs, yice-presdent,
D, A. Applegate, secretary, and
Miss Minnie Jackson, treasurer
The new organization starts out
with over 100 members. While
it is essentially republican club,
the main object is to work for
the nomination of General Wood
for president in the coming cam
paign. An active campaign will
be waged before the national con-
vention, and General Leonard
Wood will speak in Ashland
when he makes his western tour.
The date of this event will be an
nOunced later.

AGENT ADVISES
NEWSPAPER ADS

"The farm bureau is about to
launch a publicity campaign
through the county papers to get
farmers to poison squirrels at
this season, and | would suggest
that it might be worth your while
to advertise in these county pa
pers which reach most Of oul
farmers in the squirrel-iniested
districts" wrote George W. Ka-
BILE, agricultural agent of Benton
county, to a large manufacturer
OF a famous squirrel poison. Mr..
Kable then gave the manufacturer
the names of three papers. This
is in line with the policy outlined
at the county agent conference as
most effective in getting farmer
dealer and editor together for

plies and equipment needed in

Irrigation
Work Urged

SALEM, Ore.-The season of
1920 looms as the dryest on rec
ord as far as the interests OF irri-
gationists are concerned, in the
opinion of Percy A. Cupper, state
engineer and chairman OF the
state irrigation securities com
mission. This opinion, Mr.. Cup.
per says, is mased on reports re-
ceived at his office from many
parts 81 the state and govern
ment weather bureau records.
Mr.. Cupper urges that irriga-
tion bitches be cleaned out and
prepared for use as early as pos
sible, so that water may be ap-
piled as soon as conditions will
permit. Under the state laws Mr..
Cupper has charge of the dis
of the waters of the
various streams.

COUNCIL PASSES
TWO ORDINANCES

Two ordinances were passed by
the city council at its adjourned
meeting last evenin, which Will
be of much interest to the voters
of Ashland. The first was that
of dividing the city into election
precincts, which consist Of eight,
and are: Ashland Boulevard,
Ashland East Central, Ashland
West Central, Ashland Oak, Ash
land North, Ashland East, Ash
land Southeast, Ashland North
west. While the names of the
voting precincts are practically
the same the precincts were
changed to conform with the vot-
ing precincts of the state and
county, as the general election is
held at the same time.
The other ordinance covers the
dividing the city into two wards,
for the purpose of holding spe-
cial city elections. These will
be Ward No. 1, which shall con-
sist of North Ashland precinct,
Ashland West Central, and Ash
land East Central. The other,
Ward No. 2, consists of Ashland
Oak, Ashland East Ashland
Southeast, and Ashland Boule-
ward.

MANY CAUGHT
FOR SPEEDING

The city officials started the
first of the week to strictly en-
force the new speed ordinance that
was passed by the council the first
of the year. The former speed
ordinance in force in Ashland
had been done away with when
the state legislature passed
speed law covering the entire
state, therefore necessitating
new one in cities and incorporat-
ed towns. A new ordinance was
created, but had not been strictly
enforced until this week, when Of
ficers were stationed at the
points where speeding seemed to
be particularly observed.
The object in enforcing this
law, the officials claim, is to stop
unnecessary fast driving on the
city streets and remove the men
ace to pedestrians that threatens
anyone attempting to cross the
streets at certain points, where
drivers are apt to speed up their
cars. Up to today the following
persons have been summoned be-
fore the police judge and fined
for violating the speed ordinance
Fred Ritzinger, l.. Zundel, +. BO-
denhamer, L. A. Moss, c. B. Lam
kin, +. c. Reimer. Mr.. Bartlett.
S. NJ. Bulls, Hans Jeske, B. X.
Greer, Leo Kenyon, w. E. Al
len, w. Z. Furber and Z. Beeson
Strict watch is being kept ON
the streets to catch anyone yio-
lating this law, and the council
states it is no respecter OF persons
when it comes to enforcing the
speed ordinance.
The speed limit in the restrict
ed districts Of the city is 5 miles
an hour, while a state law re-
stricts the limit in passing school
houses to eight miles an hour

the nineties MINIS was foreman
in charge of operations at the old
Reward mine, and in 1896 the
superintendent h. c. Walrath,
brought to MINIS young man
of 22 years who wanted to learn
something about the practical side
of mining, and asked that the
old miner teach him the funda-
mentals.
The young man was Herbert C,
Hoover, just out of college, and
destined later to be one of the
dealers of thought and action in
the worlds affairs. MINIS re-
lates that Hooyer's first job was
pushing the loaded car out of the
tunnel to the mill, and bringing
il back again. For two months
the young student did this and
other work about the mine with
Il vigor and quick grasp of detail
that was surprise to the other
workers.

FITS YOUTH FOR
LIFE IN FUTURE
OREGON AGRICuLTURAL

OREG ON AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE, Corvallis.-The object
of the college in conducting club
work, according to those in
charge, is to give the boy or girl
who enrolls in the projects, the
training which will make that
boy or girl, 10 to 10 years from
now, a citizen of which the state
and the United States may well
be proud.
Pure-bred Poland China clubs,
Duroc clubs, calf clubs, and clubs
in other lines of livestock have
been organized. The club men,
bers are taught, in this way, to
handle and care for pure bred
stock with the idea of promoting
better grades of livestock
throughout the state.
The agricultural projects clrbs
are taught the selection of seed,
treating of the seed for diseases,
such as is necessary, the proper
means of fertilization, cultiva-
tion and selection of seed for the
future years. For instance, po-
tato club members are being en-
rolled in the potato seed certifica-
tion club, and being taught
for the potato industry of the
state.
The girls in home economics
projects, such as sewing, cook
ing, canning, and home making
are being taught the very latest
methods along these lines, with
the results that the girls are not
only able to take care of their
own clothes, do the home cooking,
and so on. but are taxi
ing an interest in the work such
as will make them better house
keepers and homekeepers in the
future.

$3.50, fills a long felt want in
Ashland. The Armory offers every
convenience to the dancing pub
lie. 1t has a good heating sys-
TEN, commodious dancing space,
dressing rooms, smoking rooms,
balcony for spectators, etc, but
heretofore has not been used much
for dances because of the condi-
ton of the floor Now that the
floor has been put in good shape
it will probably be the scene Of
most of the big dances held here.

COOLING MOTH
STUDY EXTENDED

A branch laboratory for inves-
'igation of the cOdling moth will
be established by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in the apple-growing region OF
northern Georgia, probably near
Cornelia. A representative Of the
bureau of entomology is already
on the ground and, though the
exact location has not been de-
termined, the laboratory will be
ready for work this season. This
section was selected as a typical
southern locality OF commercial
apple culture and the data gath
cred there will be particularly
valuable to supplement those OBJ
tanned in other parts Of the coun-
try, the object being to show the
life history of the codling moth
over the United States as a whole.
