"We, the Ashland W. C. T. be
ing heartily in sympathy with the
movement for the re-establishment
of the Normal at Ashland, do hereby
pledge our individual assistance to
the furthering of the campaign.
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.

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. The
oldest of the four, Mrs. Beaver's
mother, S5; Mrs. Shepherd, 84;' Mrs.
Hatch, 70; Mrs. James, the youngest,
65. Mrs. Beaver invited other guests
and one older than either, 8C, Mrs.
Martin. Mrs. Wright, 78, also was
present. There were others much
younger, Mrs. De Peare and Mrs.
Eagon, and Mr. Beaver's sister-in-law
and daughter, in the home. Mrs.
Martin crossed the plains in '53 and
Mrs. Shepherd in '52. It was very
interesting to listen to them tell of
their different experiences on their
long, slow Journey, also of their
home-making when they arrived in
Oregon. All of the five old. ladies
were Methodists and converted . in
their youth.. 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. Mrs. Beaver's niece gave us
a fine and most pleasing reading and
we were served with fine refresh
ments, and when home-going time
came we sang one verse of "God be
With You," had a short prayer and
adjourned. ' '''

Professor Vining will speak on "The
Psychology of Co-operation." The

"What is the City Federation of

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

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

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.
Miss Hargrove will have a fash
Ion show of unusual note, showing

day, March 6 and 7. Our long expert

The Best of
Circuit Court Proceedings.
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.
