at the high school gymnasium Sat
urday afternoon, the Methodists took
a rather easy victory from the Pres

In the second game there were not
enough Christians out to make full
team, the reason, being that several
of the team were on the Junior High
team that played Central Point Sat-
urday night. However, in order to
give the Baptists game, a scrub
team was made up The Baptists de-
feated them 10 to s. 1t has not been

ENTIRE STOCK OF
GOODS SOLD AT

After eleven successful years, dur
ing which time he built up a large
and appreciative trade, as well as
having made many personal friends
by his ever courteous treatment, L.
F. Ferguson has closed out all of his
remaining stock of goods to C. j.
Perrine, who moved them Thursday
to his place OF business on the

While Mr.. Ferguson has closed out
his entire stock of goods at his old
location. he Is still interested fInan-
clally as well as personally, as he is
president OF the E. r. Isaac and Com
pany store, and while in the city, he
will be found around that place.
Mr.. Ferguson desires to thank the
public for their patronage In the past
and hopes that all his former patrons
and friends will feel as much at
home at the L. r. Isaac store as they
have In the old stand.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson contem-
plate a long vacation trip which will
probably run through the summer
and will take them to San Francisco,
and other California towns, as we'll

Of the Baptist Sunday school en-
larged the plan for their regular
monthly party which was given last

On arriving each person was pre-
sented with an elaborate head dress
developed in the patriotic colors and

instance, It was found that snow

held indoors.

scheme OF the refreshments. The

CARSON-FOWLER
HAVE FINE ROOM
TO DISPLAY CUTS
(From Saturdays Daily

The Carson-Fowler Lumber COM
pany have added a long-felt need by
erecting a new room to the rear OF
their general office on First street.
The room is 10 by IL feet and is
finished on the inside with beaver
board, the strips which cover the
edges giving the effect of beamed
ceiling and sides. The woodwork in
the room has all been stained with
two coats of dark oak and orange
stain. There is a plate rail around
the room about five feet from the
floor, and this will be used to dis
play pictures of finished houses and
bungalows. The beaver boart abov
the plate rail is of a cream color,
while that part below the rail is Of
gray, making nice light room as
far as the finish is concerned. In
the center Of the room is a light fix
ture of an inexpensive nature, and
still 1t adds to the appearance of
the room.
This room will be used for general
display of plans, specifications and
pictures of finished houses, of which
there is large assortment on hand,
and more will be added later. Plans
for garages will also be displayed.
While they would like to furnish
the material to build the houses, it
is the idea OF the company not to
confine themselves to this alone,
and they will be glad to show any
plans and furnish them, whether any
other material is furnished or not.
Service is the principal thing that
will be aimed at. Service, where
any one may come in and sit down,
look over the various plans and spec
ifications and whether they find any
thing to their liking or not, feel
under no obligation whatsoever.
Samples of hardwood and various
other needs of the builder, along
lumber lines, will be display in this
room, so that any idea may be given
room to develop.

SUMMER NORMAL
AGAIN THIS YEAR
(FrOm SATURDAYS DailYl

(From Saturdays Daily
1t has been decided by the Boar,
of Regents of the normal school tha
they will conduct summer brancl
of the normal at Ashland this sum
mer, as indicated by letter received
by Superintendent Briscoe, a part o
which is given herewith:
Dear Superintendent Briscoe-
Following the receipt of the
copies Of the letters giving estimate!
of the costs of the branches of the
summer normal to be held at Pendle

the executive committee of the board
of regents have taken action upon
the matter. At the request of the
committee, l am enclosing quota
tions from the minutes of the meet.
ing of the full board last June rela-
tive to the financing and control OF
the branches of the summer normal
This statement from the minutes
will help you to understand why the
board has resitated in taking final
action, knowing that the funds are
limited. Since this decision of the
board obligates the state to finance
the normal at Pendleton and Ash
land entirely, the greater expense the
coming year has made it questionable
in their minds as to whether the
funds were sufficient to conduct the
summer branches this year.
However, by practicing the strict
est economy In the payment of sal
aries and other expenses, and in lin
iting the number Of instructors as
far as consistent with first class
work, the committee has decided to
proceed with plans for the summer
DraQcnes.
The action taken by the board has
thrown the burden of management
upon the normal school, both as to
financing and the selection Of staff
Of teachers. The following quota
tion is taken from the minutes Of
the board of regents meeting held
last June and is itself explanatory
In regard to the financing and con-
troll of the summer school. "It was
the opinion of the board that all OF
its summer schools should hereafter
be maintained wholly by the state.
and should be Independent Of local
financial aid and of local control"

Elks' club to select a permanent Or
ganization for carrying on the busi-
ness in connection with this promi-

AMERICAN CLAIMS
AGAINST GERMANY
TO BE PROTECTED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 15.-
American claims against Germany
amounting to $4O0, 900, 900 because
of loss Of life and property at sea
from German submarine attacks will
be protected to the last dollar, before
the United States will agree to re-
turn property seized from German
subjects during the war, 1t was
learned authoritatively yesterday.
This decision, reached by the ad-
ministration, will be embodied in leg
islation soon to be urged upon con-
gress by President Harding. The
president and his cabinet are anxious
that congress enact a law without de-
lay to govern the disposition Of the
enormous holdings in the custody Of
the alien property custodian. The
problem is now the basis OF discus
sions between Secretary Of State
Hughes, Attorney General Daugher-
ty. and Colonel Thomas w. Miller.
alien property custodian.
President Harding has been in
formed by his advisers on the ques-
tion that provisions of the peace res
olution give sufficient authorization
for this government to hold the seiz-
ed property until provision has been
made for the satisfaction of all the
claims against Germany.
The administration finds It neces-
sary, however, to work out some
system that will make that plan ef-
fective-possibly a system that will
aid in restoring trade relations upon
a larger scale between the United
States and the central powers.

SMALL CHILD HIT
BY AUTOMOBILE
(FTom Fridays Daily

(FTom Fridays Daily
Mildred Doran, little daughter o.
J. H. Doran, was hit and knocked
down by an automobile driven by Ed
win Dunn yesterday afternoon, while
on her way home from school. For
tunately the child was not seriously
hurt, but her face was badly bruised
as she fell on her face when machine
struck her.
Mr.. Dunn picked the child up and
asked Mrs. j. C. Kaegi, in front OF
whose home the accident occurred,
TO go with him to the Office of DR.
F.. G. Swedenburg, where the child
was examined and after having her
bruises treated, she was taken home
by Mr.. Dunn.
The children had just been dis
missed from the Hawthorne school,
where the child attends, and, togeth-
er with other children, was going
along the Boulevard on her way
home. According to parties who saw
the accident, the child was pushed
off the sidewalk by one of the other
children just after they had passed
a machine that was parked along
the curb, and it seems that she then
started to go across the street and
stepped out from behind the car at
the curb in time to be struck by the
moving machine. Mr.. Dunn stated
that another child was on the further
side of the street, and, had he turned
his car to miss the girl, he would
have run directly over the other
child.
1t is not known what speed the
machine was making at the time, but
from the appearance of the tracks
where the machine slid after the
brakes were applied, it was some
what faster than should be driven
when passing near school building.

NEW LIEUTENANT
FIRST COMPANY
NATIONAL GUARD
JAMES Q. ADAMS APPOINTED TO
SUCCEED LIEUT.. ELMORE-
HAS WIDE REPUTATION AS
EXPERT MARKsMAN.
First Company VIII Hold Second
Grand Opening About March 10
to Interest Local People in Work
of the Organization.

James @. Adams has been appoint
ed by Governor OlcOtt as first lieu
tenant, c. A., to succeed Lieutenant
Henry T. Elmore, recently resigned,
according to a recent order received
by Captain William Briggs from the
adjutant general at Salem. Adams
Is q. well-known Ashland man who
has over eight years experience in
military work and Is held in high
esteem by the military authorities
of the Pacific coast He has been
a member Of three national rifle
teams and Is one of the best crack
shots on the Coast.
Lieutenant Elmore, who for the
past three years has served faith
fully for the best interests Of First
company, resigned because military
work took more time than he felt he
could justly give it, and also from
considerations of health.
Last evening about $500 worth
OF pay checks were distributed to
the members of First company. No
checks, however, were distributed to
men who were short In their equip
ment.
Ninth corps area headquarters
has designated March as the date
for federal inspection Of First COM
pany, and the company is preparing
for this event.
About March 13 the company is
planning on staging second grand
opening of the Armory, much the
same as last year. This will be an
affair free TO the public. Exhibition
drills will be put on, also wrestling
match and boxing bout, and free
dance will be given afterwards. The
object Of this affair will be to inter-
est the people Of Ashland in the COM
pany in order that more recruits will
begin to enlist. Unless the company
is supported by parents urging their
boys to join, 1t will be lost to Ash
land, so it is imperative that interest
be aroused in this respect.
AT the grand opening, Adjutant
General White, Colonel Dusenbury,
Chaplain Gilbert and other notables
will be present to help make the ev-
ening interesting. Chaplain Gilbert
is without question the most enter
tanning military speaker in the
United States.
One Of the activities the company
is now engaged in Is the staging of
a home talent play, entitled Moth
ing but the truth" This is one of
the cleverest comedies that has been
staged in the city. The cast consists
of the Misses Johnson, Raine, Nc
Coy. Campbell, Herr and Messrs. Ad-
ans, Hale, Peters, Biegel and Con-
we'll. This play will be given In the
early part Of March, date to be an
nounced later.
The national guard is now the
most important part of the defense
system of the country, the military
training it affords is invaluable, and
it is essential that every young man
that has red blood in his veins and
patriotism for his country, should be
a member of the organization.
