One of the most delightful affairs rf the younger set was the 1 o'clock five-course luncheon given by Miss fiftrtrude Barber to fifteen of her girl iriTiii Saturday. The decorations t potted plants and laurel berries heightened the charms of budding young womanhood.

A GUEST. "The Lust Day of School." Friday evening some of the pil lars of the Methodist church who had been attending a birthday party at J. H. Edwards' looked into the league room to see what all the noise was about and were astonished beyond measure at the sight which met their inquiring mazdas. As nearly as they could figure out, a country school was holding its last day exercises. The faces of the pupils looked strangely familiar, but the short dresses and ditto pants which they wore, the dolls and Teddy bears which they carried, the candy, gum aud all the other , evidences of ex treme adolescence, .made the vener able holders rub their eyes and ask themselves where they were at. The teacher bore a striking resemblance to their portly pastor, the visitors alone looking natural. A little lassie that looked like Myrtle Dougherty was telling a lot of stories, Biblical and otherwise, such as one about William Tell, who sold his birthstone for a mess of potash and had to choose between shooting a Spitzen burg off his son's head and bowing down to a gravy image. Pieces were spoken by little Johnny ' Hunter, Rossy Eliason, Harry Palmerlee, Myra Gunter, and a little boy and girl who bore a striking resemblance to Rev. Ogg and Mrs. Palmerlee. The former used to be a professional com edian and did things with his fea tures that would make the famous Bundy tremble for his laurels. The cutest little miss in school was Mae Skeen, who sang a delightful ditty about her dolly, which she held affec tionately in her arms. Minta Cherry, who planned the entertainment, sang a solo In a charmingly innocent and childish manner. There was also a sextet which was not at all like Santa Lucia, and a song by the school which was sung In several different keys, the air having escaped through an open window. A debate by Rlgg, Smith, Hunter and Elhart as to whether there was more pleasure In pursuit than possession was decided In favor of both sides, much to the satisfaction of all concerned. Lunch was eaten from dinner buckets and consisted mainly of sandwiches, doughnuts, pie and cake, although lit tle Jacky Rlgg was observed sur rounding himself with a ring of bo logna sausage and Hunter seemed to be subsisting mainly on apples. Of these he had aplenty, giving them to his schoolmates with the same prodi gality with which he distributed them amongst himself. One big boy got whipped for hitting the teacher with a paper wad behind his left ear, and Allan McGee was stood up in the cor ner for being late. Aside from these unpleasantrles, everybody had a good time and went home well pleased with themselves and their teacher. Notice of V. C. T. lT. There will be no more meetings of the W. C. T.

All wishing to make contributions at this time should do so by Wednesday night Travel 3,000 LlHes By Wagon D. C. Wrilson and family of Ft. Worth, Texas, who spent several months In Ashland in 1911, returned to the city Saturday, coming by wagon, upon Jthe advice of a phy sician, in the hope of benefiting Mrs. Wilson's health. They left Texas in July, traveling nearly 3,000 miles en route and visiting many points of in terest in the seven states traversed. The last 250 miles were made in snow averaging two feet in depth. From Bend they had to break a trail through the snow until they reacled Green Springs mountain, but the sat isfaction of getting over the Cas cades into the milder climate of the valley amply repaid them for the dis comforts of the last few days of the trip. They were all in excellent health when they reached Ashland, where they will make their home. Ashland municipal bonds to the amount of $88,000 are held by the Pacific jurisdiction of the Woodmen of the World among its investments. Great Magician At Vining Dec. 18 Eugene Laurant is one of the most notable mugicluus of whom this coun try bus ever boasted. At the meetlug held in New York in 11)12, attended by 300 magicians, he was decorated with a medal, aud later at the meeting of Chicago magicians be received another gold medal. Laurant presents many original crea tions in both magic and illusions. He carries two assistants and. of course, a lurge amount of baggage. Laurant's program Is divided into three parts, and the actual entertainment runs as MAGICIAN LAURANT AND HIS AS SISTANTS. nearly as possible two hours. The in termissions are not long, and the pian ist fills these with bright music. The first feature is a flower prelude. This is not a little single dower trick such as many uiaglciaus offer, but consists of over thirty-live separate and dis tinct flower effects, blended into one pretty little act. and is used only as an Introduction to the show proper. Following this prelude Mr. Laurant Introduces his latest features of sleight LAURANT'8 WONDERFUL HANDS of hand, etc.. occupying about thirty minutes.

All Grocers Senior Class ' Have Frolic The senior class of the high school enjoyed a frolic at the Vining Thea tre Friday night. They attended the theatre, dressed in all manner of cos tumes, and it kept the average person guessing as to whether different indi viduals were boys or whether they were girls, as costumes appropriately belonging to each sex had got twisted around in an alarming manner. The merrymakers made no little fun in the theatre, taking everything by storm. Such cries as "Hello, Flor ence," "Sit down, you're rocking the boat," etc., were common. The man agement of the theatre was of the opinion that they were trying to dem onstrate "reversion in evolution," and the class maintained that they were advancing to the "lark state," but by the shatter that prevailed it resembled a flock of geese more than of larks. To tiie Voters of Ashland. In choosing a recorder we must consider his qualifications and repu tation. In advocating the candidacy of L. J. Trefren we find that he is well qualified by several years' ex perience, having worked in railroad, county clerk and law office, and as to reputation, his record as secretary of the Southern Oregon Chautauqua, among other things, was all that could be desired. Taking these facts into consideration, we moBt respect fully ask you to support him in this campaign. SubmHted by friends and support ers of L. J. Trefren. 2t (Paid Adv.)

Tuesday and Wednesday Without discussing the merits of the charge that lax methods have governed the conduct of the city re corder's office in the past I desire, as a candidate for city recorder, to submit the following for considera tion by the voters of Ashland: If elected to the office of city re corder on December fifteenth, I shall expect to be a servant of the public and to devote my whole time to that office as I have no other interests. I believe that the desires of the people of the city of Ashland, con veyed by them to the city council as a whole and by it to the city record er, should be fuUy and promptly com plied with if possible.
