BUENos AIRES, April 15.-Frederic J.
Stimson, United States Ambassador 10
Argentina to-day sent what is described
as q vigorous note to the Argentine For
eign Office. again insisting that action
be taken TO release the Munson line
steamship Martha Washington from the
boycott Of port workers, and reiterating
the verbal representations he made to
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon on Wednes-

II is known to be the viewpoint Of
American Government officials here that
unless tho Martha Washington Is re-
leased there will be no other recourse
but to cut off all Shipping Board vessels
plying between the United states and
Argentina. numbering more than three
score. inasmuch as they believe the prec-
cdent that will be established in the
present case will cndanEer the free

Ashland weekly tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1919-1924, 1921-11-09
LIBARARY PREPARE
FOR BOOK WEEK
NOVEMBER 1919

Miss Blanche Hicks, Ashland's IL
brarian, and the Parent-Teachers
association, is making preparations
to observe Children's Book Week
which begins November 10. The
principal purpose of the movement
is to enable parents and children to
intelligently select the best juvenile
books published, either for their own
use or for Christmas presents. Lists
of such books, with complete des-
criptions and illustrations will be
available at the library during book
week.
After children leave the primary
grades they are in great danger OF
reading books unsuited to their age
or any other age, Miss Hicks says.
Boys who are hardly old enough to
look over the library counter are
omniverous readers OF the Zane Grey
style OF cheap, sensational, blood
and-thunder stories. Larger librar-
les guard against this evil to some
etxent by having separate cards for
children and adults.
For the smaller children the Ash
land library has choice assortment
Of good books. which are both In
structive and entertaining. It Is on
ly when the child gets old enough
to browse around the books for gen.
eral circulation that he is in danger
Of getting what Is not good for him.
A most surprising fact is that the
books which children call for and
read most are school readers. As
soon as they are promoted to q
higher grade they hasten to the H.
brary and ask for the readers In the
grade they have Just entered, choos-
ing books which are used in other
schools OF the same grade. Many
hundreds OF well-worn books OF this
kind in the Ashland library testify
to their popularity.
Outside OF school readers, Peter
Pan is one of the most popular vol
umes with the little folks. There
are editions for different ages and
many copies OF Barrie's play have
been worn out In the Ashland IL
brary.

The regulations of the department

PLAN CLOTHING
SCHOOLS; TALENr
AND ROGUE RIIEI.

Women from communities all over
Jackson county will gather at either
Rogue River or Talent the week OF
November Z to T2 inclusive. They
will study the making OF a woolen
dress from the choice of the mater
ial through each step to the COM
pleted garment ready for wear. The
women who attend these schools and
make garments are chosen or volun-
teer representatives. from the differ
ent communities over the county.
When the two schools are over
they will help the home demonstra-
ton agent to carry on a like school
In their own communities. In this
way every woman in the county has
an opportunity to get the intorma-
tion given in the school.
This work is free. 1t is organized
by the home demonstration agent
and is conducted by her and assisted
by Miss Esther Cooley, state special
list in clothing from the agricultural
extension department Of Oregon Ag-
ricultural college. Any woman who
is interested in attending either OF
these schools and who will promise
to help organize similar work In bel
own community or club or group OF
women, should get in touch with the
home demonstration agent.
The schools are held on alternat-
ing days. The one at Talent being

at Rogue River being November

not be disappointed in the informa-
tion that she will get in home dress.

Cleanup Squad
Settle Claims Of
Ex-Service Men
DECEMBER 81 Is LAST DAY TO
REINSTATE WAR-RISK
INSURANCE

Yesterday and today the Cleanup
squad has been working in the base
ment of the city library, adjusting
all kinds of claims for local ex-sery-
ice men. DR.. o. Edward is the med
ica officer, Keith Higgins the Red
Cross representative, Warren Shook
the field secretary, William p. Wise
the vocational training man, and
Cliff Wood the one who looks after
compensation and insurance claims,
The latter is from Portland and has
visited Ashland before in similar
capacity. The work has been i'm
proved in two ways, explains Mr..
Wood. Three boards have been COM
bined which cuts lot Of red tape
and enables applicants to get quick
er and better action. The work is
also being decentralized by the es-
tablshment OF branch offices and
sub-stations, one of which will be
located at Portland. Arrangements
are also being made to handle the
insurance business through the post
offices, which will further facilitate
such matters.
Mr.. Wood wishes particularly to
call attention to the fact that De-
cember 81 is the last day on which
insurance policies which have been
allowed to lapse can be reinstated.
Very favorable terms can now be OBJ
tanned, and those who fail to take
advantage of them and thus lose
their insurance will afterwards keen
ly regret the omission, in the opinion
of this officer.
The squad will be in Medford on
Wednesday and Thursday, which
will enable those who fail to see
them here to get action in the neigh
boring city.
