ARMORY FLOOR
BEING IMPROVED

The First company, Oregon
Coast Artillery, went to work on
the Armory floor last night to
fix it up in fine shape for tie Aux
iliary Club grand hall The floor
has recently been planed and
sanded and is in 4 smooth condi-
tion. An application Of too much
floor wax at a recent dance given
there, however, caused it to ac-
cumulate in chunks on the floor
An awkward squad from the com
pany smoothed it down with floor
scrapers and applied Il new coat
of floor wax.
The Armory floor when it IS
properly fixed and waxed, will be
undoubtedly one of the best floors
in Southern Oregon for dances.

The city council passed the wa
ter ordinance at its meeting last
night, which arranges the water
rates, to go into effect at once.
Owing to the excessive high prices
on supplies, workmcn, etc, a raise
was deemed eXpedient in the rates,
the first that has been made for
many years,
This raise in the rate covers ir-
rigation alone. The charges for
household gardens and lawns
heretofore being 25 cents a
month, will now be so cents, For
those who paid so cents, a charge
OF $l.00 will be made.
For the flat rate for irrigation
OF acreage an advance of S3 for
quarter of an acre will be made
.astead OF 50 as heretofore; $6 for
a half acre instead of $i; and $12
for an acre instead of SIS.
In addition a meter rate law
provides the right to put in ne
ters whenever the water commits
sioner deems it advisable, II is
understood the meter rate covers
acreage tracts only The meter
rate will provide a minimum rate
to any party at 81 for one. month.
For 500 cubic feet or less the
charge will be 81. All
over 600 cubic feet will
be at the rate of cents per lG0
cubic feet. The former ordinance
governing the water rates was re-
pealed.
A large number of Orchardists
md small ranchers were pres
mt at this meeting and discussed
he question eXhaustiyely until a
ate hour. Owing to the time con-
iumed on the water question all
Ither business expected to be
transacted by the council was
lostponed.

VACATION BIBLE
SCHOOL FOR CITY

Churches in many towns of Or
egOn will this year conduct a
Daily Vacation Bible School for
the children of their community.
This will rally the children to-
gether for five weeks during the
vacation season, for a daily ses-
sion of at least two hours every
Weekday. During the second
hour the children will learn to
make baskets, hammocks, toys,
woodwork, etc, while during the
first hour singing, habit talks,
Bible story, etc, provide a very
much needed instruction. In most
instances a pair staff of teachers
will conduct the school, while in
others a principal with volunteer
workers will render this service
to all the children. This work
can best be done by all the
churches uniting in the effort to
render this service to all the chill
dren. Information to aid car be
secured by Rev. j. w. Hoyt, Ash

BUILDING GROWS
IN CALIFORNIA

d. l.. Glenn, who with Mrs.
Glenn, has been spending several
months at their winter home in
Glendale, Calf, writes to the It'd
ings an interesting letter OF the
country down that way. 1t has
been several years since Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn have been in that sec
tion, and they remark the change
that has taken place and the man
ner in which cities and resorts are
growing.
Long Beach, Mr.. Glenn states,
has a name abroad, and little won
der when one sees what is being
done. They claim $4,000 or 40,-
coo people, and one can not stand
any place in the city but what
one can see building in the course
OF erection. Mr.. Glenn has been
told that twenty buildings a day
en- an average are being fin
ished, many Of them being bust
ness blocks.
"Prices for lodging seemed be-
Sond all reason" Mr.. Glenn stat
ed. "My sister there had a living
room, bath and kitchen, and paid
$50 a month Small five room
houses rent for $50 and SIS d
month, and it is much the same
all over this part of California.
":It seems wonderful when we
think of the high cost of material,
and yet the demand for room
stimulates the building boom. The
end does not seem in sight, as al
most every paper lists the names
OF those taking out building per-
mits."
Mrs. Glenn adds a postscript to
her husbands letter in which she
expresses a wish that she had
good literature Of Ashland and her
fine springs, fruit and people to
scatter broadcast over that coun-
ty. Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn expect
to return to Ashland shortly.

Friends of Miss Mary Young,
who left last December for Korea
where she will be associated with
a mission school, were fortunate
recently to receive a most inter-
esting letter written from her, de-
srribing in length her wonderful
trip to that far-off land. Miss
Young sailed from Vancouver De-
cember IS, and stated that her
final evening in that city was
spent with Prof. Larimore and
family, we'll known here, where
the former was associated with
the local Chautauqua.
In recounting incidents during
her journey Miss Young related
of how she spent Christmas day
on board ship. This was the day,
she stated, when the ship crossed
the imaginary line where one day
vanishes. The officers were kind,
she said, and bade the 26th take
its flight instead.
Dear old Santa found me even
away out on the briny deep" Miss
Young wrote, thanks to home
folks and friends on board. In
the forenoon we sighted a snow
cap on the Almtian islands, so you
see how far to the north we went.
Even the ship gave her best honor
of the day. She is reputed to be
the best roller on the sea.
after a turkey dinner one
crowd drank and danced, while
those of the sixty missionaries,
twenty-three of whom were Meth
odists, who were able, sang carols.
l read again the wonderful Christ
mas story, to close this strange
Christmas day."

OVERALL CLUB
At POSTOFF|CE

An overall club was inaugural
ed in the postofflce this morning,
in the hope Of bringing down the
high cost OF clothing. The mem
bers of the force signed the fol-
lowing pledge which they promise
to strictly carry out to the let
ter:
1--WE, the undersigned, p. o.
clerks and citizens of Ashland,
pledge ourselves to wear overall
suits six days of the week, and
clothes we now possess on the
seventh, II so desire. We also
pledge ouselves not TO buy other
than overall suits so long as the
present prices prevail"
Postmaster E. ]. Kaiser donned
the humble habiliments of the sons
of toll this forenoon, and it is ex-
pected that before night the other
members OF the force will follow
the postmaster's lead. Accord
ing to Postmaster Kaiser, the city
hall attaches will organize next.

The regular monthly meeting
of the Belleyiew Community clut
held recently under the direction
of Mrs. C. A. Brown, Fred C.
Homes and Gates King, was well
up to the standard set by former
meetings.
Under the efficient management
of Mr.. Homes the program was
given in a very pleasing manner
and the large number of people
gathered from Neil creek, Ash
land, and the home community en-
joyed each number thoroughly.
Special mention should be made
of the Hawaiian music furnished
by the McWilliams family and the
Harrell sisters. These young peo-
pie have been very generous with
their music. The community is
certainly fortunate that such a
wide-awake progressive family as
the McWilliams people are, should
have come into the district
The hearty response given to
Mr.. Campbell (Dick Posey), goes
to show that not only Ashland,
but the surrounding country, has
learned to know and appreciate
the sterling worth Of the man who
so unselfishly gives to the home
folks of his splendid talents. The
two selections given were well
chosen and it goes without saying
that they were cleyerly given and
throughly enjoyed.
After an Introductory talk by
Mr.. Homes a series of living mod
els representing popular adver-
tisements such as Cream of Wheat,
Old Dutch Cleanser, Hills Bros"
Coffee, etc, were presented. The
committee deserves much credit
for the originality of the idea as
well as for the very apt manner
in which each subject was han
died. Ice cream and cake were
served during the social hour that
is always large factor in these
meetings.
The May meeting will be the
last for this season. The commit
tee in charge hopes to be able to
make this meeting the crowning
event of the series.
1t was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the club
should elect officers and plan to
hold the regular meetings during
the winter Of 1920 and 81.
