RUMOR OF NATIONAL GUARD
CUT DENIED BY WEEKS

SALEM, Nov. 15.-Denial Of re-
ports that there is any inclination on
the part Of the war department to
reduce present national guard allot-
ments to the state or any plan to up-
set present regulations effecting the
national guard as the mainstay OF
the first line for national land de-
fense, has zeen made in letter from
Secretary OF War Weeks to Briga-
dier General George A. White. head
of the Oregon national guard. The
widespread reports that sweeping
changes were under consideration eff
fecting the national guard of the
United States were caused by the
action OF the war secretary in calling
for board of officers to sit In Wash
ington this month to revise allot-
ments.
The letter said that the real mis-
sion OF this board with which Cen
eral White has been invited to sit.
Is merely to arrange allotments, II
necessary, where states are not able
to meet their obligations under the
national defense act.

THE WINTER FAIR

With the proper cooperation, the
period of December to 8 can De
made the greatest trade week In the
history of Ashland, for under pres
ent plans 1900 premium lists are to
be widely distributed and a great
deal of publicity given to the Winter
Fair.
The idea of winter exposition
was tried out in the city a few years
ago for the first time. 1t met with
such a hearty response that the al
fair has been staged annually. the
Winter Fair of 1922 promises to be
one of the best
In order that the best results may
be obtainable from the Winter Fair
il will be necessary for the merchants
of the city to decorate their windows
to the best of their ability and stock,
carrying out in detail the spirit OF
the occasion that will be suggested
by the decorations of the streets.
Unless this is universally done, the
general effect will fall below that de-
sired. A window here and a window
there must not be the ones that have
been dressed for the holidays. ALL
must be silent heralders of the Win
ter Fair.
Solicitors for special premiums
have visited the business firms, and
are gratified with the results OBJ
tanned. Through the generosity OF
these men and establishments, many
will be induced to exhibit that would
otherwise hesitate in bringing forth
articles for display. The fame of
Ashlands Winter Fair has spread,
and poultry and pet stock breeders in
various sections of the state have
already written asking for a list Of
the premiums, entry conditions and
further information. Many Of these
have stated they will make an entry.
The Winter Fair has ceased to be
a local proposition, and its growth
can only be estimated. That this is
certain is indicated by the ever-in-
creasing number of inquiries re-
ceived from county residents. The
growth of the Winter Fair can only
be retarded by lack of cooperation
This is our fair, and 1t is up to us
TO make 1t a success. Coming as II
does early in the holiday season, a
proper esprit de corps will guaran'
tee its success, not only to the gen
eral public, but to the merchants II
particular.

MISSIONARY MAKES APPEAL
FOR CLOTHING FOR NEEDY

missionary, has appealed to his home
church for clothing for needy per-
sons, chiefly children. A feature of

years gifts are said to have proven
a great help to many. Money gifts
will go to home mission work.
Following is a list of articles spe-
cially desired Rubber boots, much
needed by children who have to walk
TO school, sizes from six years up;
boots or shoes, sizes IL, 13, 1 Y and

clothing that boy of years can
wear; twins, age 4, but large for
their age, need everything.

come to Rev. Hulet about the cases
helped last year and the needs this
year.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN ASHLAND

We know of place by Nature endowed,
With all that She in one small spot, could crowd:
With waters and mines, and granite, and oil,
And all other products produced from good soil
With orchards and gardens and woods near and far,
And all are prize winners-n fact, above par.
The valleys not large, regret to relate,
But by quality" measure we're both big and great
And scenery, and cmate-words cannot express!
And all these are included in the Days thankfulness.
Are we glad Of all this and thankful today
That our paths have all led to this wonderful way?
But there's much need-deveopments one
In morals, finances. and all ways meath the sun.
We feel they close. Gods touch" here was great,
And better twill be If we have faith to wait.
And God sent man, with money and sight
What his hands find to do, he does with his might
'Ts Thanksgiving Day! Have Cause to rejoice?
It looks as if God has made Ashland His choice.
Be thankful today, for the good He has SENT
Add your faith and works to the power He has lent

To the Editor of the Tidings:
1t is represented to me that those
closely interested in the completion
of the highway to klamath Falls are
planning to override the will OF the
people as expressed at the recent
election.
By a decisive majority, the voters
OF the county rejected the proposal
to levy a tax for the completion OF
this highway, and | am one who be-
lieves that precisely what the peo-
pie vote for is precisely what the
people should have.
One OF the planks in my platform
in the late election plainly stated my
position about "jokers" and Sub
terfuges." and the big majority given
me at the polls is evidence that the
public is soIldly behind the idea Of a
square zeal.
might say here that ! was in
favor OF leyying the tax fer the
Klamath Falls road, and voted for
IT, But the people voted it down.
and that decides the issue with me.
II doesn't matter to me whether
the plans now contemplated for
overriding the wishes Of the people
are legal or not. The point is that
the people voted against being taxed
and I. for one. insist that their man
date be observed.
II surely looks irregular to rush
eny plan through at a time when

ADDS
ANOTHER BUILDING
TO CAKE FOR TRADE

The Ashland Greenhouse has not
been standing idly by during the last
summer, as one may see by taking a
drive down Oak and Nevada streets
and seeing the improvements that
have ibeen added this year.
One OF the old greenhouses, built
a number of years ago, when nothing
would be considered for sidewalks
but wood, was torn down during the
year, and in its stead is fine build
ing with cement sidewalks, 40 feet
wide by 175 feet in length. The top
is constructed of glass panels, with
the latest system of ventilation
The house is divided
in two sections one being for the
plants requiring heat of at least 62
degrees and running as high as 70
in the daytime, while the other house
is kept from 10 to 20 degrees cooler.
Six rows of boxes, each about six
feet wide with narrow aisle be-
tween, run the full length of both
rooms and are filled with practically
every kind of flowers, among which
the poinsetta stands out among the
most beautiful, but is greatly out
numbered by the carnations, the
greater part Of one of the rooms be-
ing filled with this favorite flower.
Besides the new buildings, two
old buildings are still in active use,
one being 80 by 15O feet, while the
other is 40 by 175 feet. In one of
these buildings is to be found an
other space about 40 by 10 feet, de-
voted to carnations but the beauti-
Iul full-blown chrysanthemum takes
he eye of one entering the room,
'or there are many Of them that
measure from seven to nine inches
across. The other building is also
filled with flowers of all kinds and
descriptions, among which the pot
ted cyclamen plants and the snap
lragons stand out prominently.
1t is the intention OF Mr.. Sanders
10 rebuild the old structures in the
near future and put in cement side
walls, making them on par with
his new room. The greenhouses have
a total of 10000 square feet OF glass
At the present time.
The heating of the building is ac-
by two boilers, located
under the office, which is in front of
the new building. One small boiler
Is sufficient to keep the rooms warm
1uringsthe moderately cool weather
while the larger boiler will be used
when the weather becomes colder.
AS winter passes on and spring
approaches, the flowers will gradu-
ally be replaced with tender vege-
tables for early summer use and for
when the weather be-
comes sufficiently warm to allow OF
outdoor growing.
Despite the fact that greenhouse
does the greater part of its
business in the local territory, the
opposite Is the case with Mr.. Sanders
as the larger part of his flowers and
are sold in outside terri
tory. He enjoys a large trade
throughout northern California and
as far south as Redding, with occa-
sional orders from as far as Los
Angeles, while Portland and several
of the adjacent cities send in orders
regularly.
At this time of the year, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanders and one helper are able
to do all the work about the place,
but during the spring season, several
additional people are required to
take care of the work about the
place and the payroll runs up into
good figures. -
