Present Preparations. Claude C. Cate, county pathologist, and T. E. May of the Oregon Agricul tural College were in the city Satur day. They met with representatives of the Civic Improvement Club, Par ent-Teacher Association, Commercial Club, Honor Guard and other organ izations, and action will soon be tak en toward stimulating local Interest In the project as strongly as the other valley towns have taken action in the matter. In many of the cities of the north ern part of the state the Boy Scouts and the girls of the honor guard have done much toward making the issue a live one, and preparation will be made to line up the local organizar tlons of this nature for local work. There shouldn't be a vacant lot or garden space In Ashland got to waste this suTimer. All the public-spirited drganizations are taking interest in the matter, and committees who will locate the available lots and garden spaces are being appointed. Anyone knowing of an available, garden-growing space would do a deed of great service by phoning the location to Secretary Frohbach at the Commer cial Club room. The local banks and other organizations are creating funds for the purchase of seeds which will be distributed freely to those who will plant and take care of a garden.

In South Car olina homo canning has been tanen up so thoroughly in. the schools and local organizations that the state has called for a very Bmall amount of canned goods in the past years. It is a matter of vital Importance that home-growing of foodstuffs re ceive a great deal of attention In the coming season, and every citizen Is urged to hear, the well-planned out lines of the men and women who have studied the matter thoroughly and who will speak In the city Wednesday.

In all parts ot the state the Home Guard movement Is a live issue, and with many hundreds who have already enrolled In the Home Guard work a strong road-working force could be formed. The Rose burg News speaks of the matter as follows: "Following the statements of prom inent military authorities that good roads must be built through the state as a precaution during the war, it has now been proposed that .the,Sheriff's Home Guards, which are being or ganized by tho hundreds throughout the state and especially in Douglas county be formed and used for the purpose of constructing such roads and making tho needed improve- jments. I "Good roads are an ansoiute neces jsity for military maneuvers, and their I great aid has been clearly demonstra ted In the European countries, espec ially in Franco, where supplies and men are moved rapidly and with lit- l tie disorder. Adjutant General White i recently published a statement in which he set forth clearly the needs 'of Oregon In regard to road work, j He stated that it would be practically : impossible to move an army through 'the state under the present conditions land made a strong appeal for better j roads. It is Impossible under the present methods to build these high ways without a great deal of time being con&umed, as the number of laborers demanded would be too great an expense. The immediate necessi ty, ' however, has brought out the plan, according to reports, to use the Home Guards for this purpose, keep ing them in districts near home, working them In details probably two days each week and allowing govero ment pay for the time thus consumed. "With the vast number of men at command by putting them under proper supervision it Is estimated that the work of constructing the roads would take only a short time, allow ing the men to remain near home, and would conflict with their regular business only two days out of each ; week. "In Douglas county this organiza tion would bo of untold value as hun dreds of men are enrolling, while many more are waiting to be sworn In. Shoriff Qulne has been called upon to devote practically his entire time for the past week in carrying ;on this work, and within a short time 'the guard will be one of the strong est bodies of organized men in the county. Ho, has spent the last two jdays at Canyonvillc, Riddle, Myrtle i Creek and other places where the' j proposition of organizing guards has j been considered, excellent member i ships having been received at some of these places. Astoria plans much improvement work. Two hundred and fifty thoj sand dollars will be expended In pav- ing and improving streets and $50, i 000 on sewers. With equitable shipping laws and regulations encouraging investment of American capital in ships, Oregon should become the home ot many oversea carriers. Every Boy Scout should feed a soldier. A number of the Medford boys who joined the aviation corps lately were transferred from the Los Angeles training camp to the Omaha, Neb., aviation school.
