Thh Monument.

The work OF securing the funds
for the Memorial monument is pro
crossing, but slowly. There is ap-
proximately 5000 now contributed
or subscribed, but there is need for
at least $500 more for this most
worthy purpose
Commander Simpson drafted de-
tail OF Legionaries few days ago
and went out to the spot where II

ground for the installation of the
stone. The stone itself is being pre-
pared by the engravers and will be
ready before the day set for its COM
pletion.
The Legion Committee is making
arrangement with Colonel John L.
May. formerly Captain of our own
local Militia Company, who has
served so well during tho last Wa:

to come to Ashland as speaker Of the
day. An effort is also being made
to secure Major C. A. Malone (who
needs no Introductory to come and
act as Marshal OF the Day.

The WOmen's Auxiliary.

The latest dope we have regarding
the Ladies' Auxiliary is that the
Charter is being engraved and will
be forwarded Immediately upon its
completion. However there seems
no real necessity why the women
folks should wait for the charter to
arrive, but they can call meeting
any time and complete their organ
ization. elect their officers and se-
cure the membership. The necessary
forms have been received and are
now in the possession of Post Com
mander Simpson, who will be glad
to help the ladies in any way that
1t is possible. All interested ladies
should see Mrs. Perry Ashcraft, Mrs
p. X. Hammond. Mrs. C. L. Loomis,
Mrs. F. H. Walker or Miss Mary
Spencer and arrange with these
ladies for meeting as soon as de-
sired.

HOW BIG is YOUR BANK
ROLL; S271 Is AVERAGE

What is'the status of your bank
account?
II you are a resident of Ash
land and your balance is under
$271.4S, you have not your full
share.
Bnt il you hail from elsewhere
and are here only for brief So
iourn, and your check stub shows
a balance of $50, don't be dis :.
couraged. Financially, you are
the equal Of your neighbor.
Such is the interesting story
told by financial statistics.
The total amount of money in
the United States on the first day
of April, according to government
reports, was sS.OS2,773,Ss6. This
amounts to approximately $50 for
every human being in the United
states.
Hence, If you are married and
without children and your FAM
lily bank roll looks like s16O. you
are keeping up the average.
The total bank deposits in
Ashland = not the wealth of the
people, but the actual deposits
in banks within the city = ag-
gregate $l,62S,564.5S. Figuring
the permanent population at 5000
there would be s271.4S for every
man, woman and child in the city,
IL an equal distribution were to
be made.

AUTO CAMP
IS CROWDED
BY TOURISTS

With the accommodation of more
than twenty-five motoring tourists
during Friday and Saturday of last
week and a number of new arrivals
this week, the Ashland Free Auto
Camp ground, as barometer for the
tourist season, shows favorable out
look for the number OF newcomers
that may be expected in the city this
summer.
c. w. Keffer, OF Redfield, Iowa,
who stopped at the camp during the
latter part of last and the fore part
OF this week, says that the convent
ence of the Ashland camp are not
equaled by the facilities of any other
anywhere on the Pacific coast. Mr.
Keffer and his wife have driven the
entire distance from Redfield by way
of Southern California, and are on
their way home via the Northern
route through Montana. In his en-
tire trip, Mr.. Keefer said, only one
place could compare in any way
with the local camp ground. That
was at Lincoln, Nebraska. At no
place did Mr.. Keefer find a peer OF
the Ashland camp grounds.
Yesterday several cars from diff
ferent states were camped at the
auto grounds. Some were muddy.
others were shiny and ready for the
Oregon roads. but the owners were
all happy and enjoying themselves.
Many had lit camp fires and were
gathering around the CHEEKY blaze in
true campers fashion.

NEW RUSSIA WILL LOOK TO
AMERICA, SAY FORMER PREMIER
Prince Lvoff Claims Situation is Rapidly
Clearing, Refugees Eager TO Get Home

OF refugees in Europe for so long a
time that We can cope intelligentlv
with any new problem.
Most OF the refugees wish to re-
turn TO Russia They will do so
with the first opportunity and with
one idea on'y-to help build up their
country in the best and most eff
cacious way which offers.
In our work for the Russian refu-
gees during the past two years, We
have had enormous assistance from
America through the Red Cross,
which has furnished medical sup
plies, food and clothing. Workshops
throughout Europe are giving EN-
ployment to Russian men and wo
men, and the materials used in
these workshops are largely Amer.
lean. The finished articles are
again used for relief purposes. AT
our headquarters in Paris there Is
file OF men and women, often with
the children, asking for food, cloth
ing, money, or frequently only for
advice.
Perhaps the greatest problem
which the outside world must solve,
is the exact method which shall be
used in helping Russia. The Rus
sian psychology is perhaps little
intricate. and only Russians can
deal with il successfully and eff
ciently A certain freedom must be
accorded to Russians to administer
the capital which will be invested in
Russia by other natinoalities.
Russia is normally the worlds
greatest producer of foodstufts and
raw materials. She is also the
worlds most important customer
OF manufactured goods and a poten-
tia market with unlimited possibil-
ilies, The method employed by the
American Red Cross in its work for
Russians has been ideal, - ways
and means have been largely in the
hands of Russian men and women,
while the American organization has
stood behind and supervised the dis
tribution OF its relief materials.
hope that when Russia seeks eco
monte aid there will be a repetition
of this attitude and spirit. 1t was
the American way in old Russia, and
it was one reason why America won
such large place in the hearts OF
the Russian people. The American

The things which New Russia will
