Memorial Day.

Ashland Post No. IA has received
ia letter from Colonel John L. May,
of Portland accepting our invitation
Ito be our guest as speaker of the
day for Memorial Day. The various
Memorial Day Committees from all
lorganiztions interested decided that
they wanted an Ex-Seryice man who
had had considerable actual expert
l,ence IN the World War for this oc-
casion and we feel highly elated in
the fact that Colonel May has so
kindly and willingly accepted our
invitation. Colonel May is not only
an ex-seryice man of the World Waf
but also OF the SpanishAmerican
War and is very well known by his
old comrades of the Spanish War
who live here.
Plans are progressing very favor
ably toward a more unified celebra-
tion OF this day than has ever been
the experience in Ashland. The slo-
gan seems to be Lets everybody
take part" very appropriate slogan
