Through our many channels of in fluence in every part of Oregon we will endeavor to give such impetus to this cause as will bring about ac tive, decisive work which will result in ballots in considerable numbers. "We furthermore endorse the posi tion that Mrs. Lydia Horrel, our county president, has taken, when she instructed us in the coming po litical campaign that we should be non-partisan, aiding such candidates as inidvidually are the best factors for the furtherance of moral and tem perance work, and thus are not aligned with any special political party. SEC. ASHLAND W. C. T. U. Pioneer Ladies Mept. Mrs. A. E. Beaver entertained quite an unique birthday party of four old ladies whose birthdays all came on the 23rd of February.

Mrs. Calhoun started her Christian life at 13 years of age; Mrs. Shepherd, 17; Mrs. James, 10; Mrs. Martin, 19; Mrs. Wright, 13; Mrs. Hatch, 19. We spent a delightful afternoon to gether.

Following Is the program: A whist ling solo, by Mrs. Wilson; reading, Mrs. Fred Homes, Jr., of Belleview; Professor Vining will speak on "The Psychology of Co-operation." The social hour will be under the auspices of the West Side Parent-Teachur Cir cle. The question has been asked, "What is the City Federation of Clubs?" It is the organized forces of rive ladies' clubs of Ashland for the purpose of meeting four times a year to become better acquainted and that we may co-operate and assist each other in our different lines of work. The Chautauqua is the oldest organ ization and the work Is taking care of the Chautauqua grounds. The Sunshine was the second to torn a working force. Its mission is to! do whatever will bring Joy and happi ness into the life of a citizen. The Civic Improvement Club works along the lines of beautifying the city, san itation, co-operating with the Com mercial Club in Its work, and in fact any line of work that does not come under the other four clubs. The West Side Parent-Teacher and the East Side rnrent-Teacher circles are uniting their efforts with the, school faculty in bringing into the child's life all the best conditions possible, called child welfare work. All of these societies have open doors and anyone is eligible to belong. Do not wait for an invitation. You will be welcomed at the home centers of each and all. This year will be one of history making of Ashland and we need the help and eo-operatlon of every wom an to make this city what it should be as a tourist town. We cannot emphasize too strong the year 1915 Is Ashland's opportun ity and everyone should interest themselves In co-operating for- the public good. Everyone Is cordially welcomed to this meeting. Grants Pass has bad a meeting of 150 ladles and Medford large meetings. May Ashland reach the 200 mark. Mrs. Simons will have her first showing of spring hats Saturday, February 28.

Another Good Time at Trinity Church Parish House. j The ladies of Trinity Protestant Episcopal church enjoy a distin guished reputation for two things. the furnishing and serving, periodi cally, of capital suppers, be they chicken or otherwise, and the pro moting of a vast amount of sociabil ity by means, always lawful, where by the guests solemnly declare before leaving the cozy, homelike and taste fully furnished parish house that health, wealth and fair weather per-' mining, it will not, by any manner of means, be their last visitation to an hostelry (if the term may in this case be legitimately applied) that stands for so much in promoting good will and innocent recreation among the denizens of "Ashland the Beau tiful." The efforts of the various committees in making the supper crowded with good things were crowned with the most complete suc cess, notwithstanding that, at the eleventh hour, it was found that the slaughter of chicken had failed to meet the demand and "piggie," natur ally, had to step in and relieve the situation, without for one moment disconcerting a single partaker of the good things provided. Supper commenced on Tuesday, evening at 6 o clock and was con tinued until 8, after which time the social features of the gathering as serted their sw ay. Under the leader and pianoship of Miss Swigart a diversified program of music songs by Mrs. Franklyn Conway, whistlings' by Mrs. Foster and Mr. Graham, piano duo by Miss Swigart and Mrs. Boslough, and Mr. W. W. Ussher with piano impromptus that never fail to delight his listeners was dis- cussed with a success that gave in finite satisfaction. Mrs. W. Pickens was the generalissimo of the kitchen and other brigades, ably assisted by Mrs. Whitney, president of the guild, Mrs. Hamaker, Mrs. Hedberg, Mrs. Ussher, Mrs. McWIIliams, Mrs. Wagner, Miss E. Greer (coffee mak er), Mrs. Summers and Mr. and Mrs. Clark " Bush (wafflers extraordi naire), with the office of potato pan cake maker ably filled by the afore said Mrs. McWilliams. Theiigital and decorative skill of Miss Winifred Watson and Mrs. H. G. Gllmore was exercised with a success on this occasion that transformed the parish house into literally a thing of beauty and long remembrance. Mrs. Hill, treasurer of the guild, was, as usual, stationed at the main entrance and gathered in the shek els with taht adroit satisfaction that follows in the wake of much skillful handling of money bags. Miss Tav erner was also "at home" in the candy department and sold and said many sweet things during the even ing. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Caldwell very charmingly entertained the follow ing named guests Wednesday even ing of last week at their beautiful home on North Main street: Messrs. and Mesdames L. J. Orres, A. H. Davis, J. D. Hoag, George Stannard. B. W. Chattin, E. C. Schuerman and J. B. Ware. The evening was spent in social intercourse, dominoes and music. Delicious Ice cream, cakes and cocoa were served.

Tuesday afternoon the circuit court was engaged in the case of Schnpnover vs Sivora tha i:u holns tried before a Jury. Sivers is an old resident near the Evans creek coun try above Woodville. Both are aged men and members of the G. A. R. : Sivers was living alone on his ranch in 1906. Schoenover came from the soldiers' home in California, and Sivers invited him to stop with him, which he did, and remained there till August of last year, doing chores about the place and helping with the cooking. In August Sivers sold his place and thus Schoenover was obliged to seek another home. Schoenover brought action against Sivers to recover $30 a month, for the six years he had been with him, and also for various other sums he had let Sivers have from time to time.
