be brought up and the decision will
affect the fishing in these streams

Several home service matters were
discussed at Thursdays meeting OF
the executive committee OF the Ash
land chapter of the Red Cross, con-
sisting of Mrs. Hal McNair, Rev. p.
X. Hammond, Mrs. ]. +. Thornton,
Mrs. Fred Engle, Mrs. w. l.. Maxey,
Il. II. Simpson, Il. r. Eubanks, and
Mrs. Marsh Wagner. The annual
election of officers will be held In
about two weeks. All of the 92S
members Of the Ashland chapter are
entitled to vote at this election.
A total of $1O64 was reported
raised during the recent member
ship drive, of which 1928 was for
annual memberships and s1S6 was
donations. Talent raised $42 and
Bellevlew is yet to be heard from. A
vote of thanks was extended to Mrs.
Emil Peil as leader of the member
ship campaign and to each OF the
captains for their efforts to make
the fifth roll call successful.
Ashland Red Cross workers have
an even $500 available for local well
fare work, this being half the an
nual membership dues and all Of
the donations. The other half OF
the membership dues goes to the
national work. Many cases OF need
have recently been reported to Ash
land Red Cross workers, who, de-
spite an impression to the contrary
in some quarters, receive no pay at
all for their services in behalf of
suffering humanity.
Special attention Is given to help
ing eX-seryice men, mothers and
children. SO far this year about
ninety needy children have been
helped in one way or another by the
Red Cross workers of Ashland Not
only are food and clothing furnished
to the worthy poor but in some cases
house rent and hospital bills are
paid and money loaned to needy ex-

Apple Market Improves

Eastern reports indicate a some
what improved tone and demand for
the lower grade and priced apples
from the Pacific Northwest. There
appears. to be some misunderstand'
ing regarding the conditions that
cause this improvement. Consider
ing the cause, it is not likely that
the improvement will be continued
for any length Of time. It appears
that shipments of apples have a.
creased materially due to the storms
along the Pacific coast. However
the time is arriving when the cheap
er quality stock will either move in
to consumption or else into the gar
bage can, and this should to some
extent increase the demand for the
better class fruit.-Portland Journal
