Early this year it pledged its financial support to the Chautauqua tiulldlng and has been working to that end. In May the club presented the Red Cross with a check for $50. Protect Yoiirsei No money you can spend will give you as great returns for the amount expended as that spent to pro tect and beautify your home. It is estimated that a coat of paint on a house needing it will save five times its cost besides the beauty it adds to the building. Does your house NEED paint? If so get it now. Prices will not be lower for a long time. And paint and decorating materials in general have advanced in price less than any other commodity. We have a large and complete stock of everything needed in paints for your house, barn, carriage or automobile, varnishes, tinting, wall paper, building and lojfing papers, glass, etc. Let us figure with you.

World's Work. Stocklng the National Parka. The United States Is carrying on a very Interesting work in exchanging the wild animnls of one region for those of others transplanting elk and deer and Rocky mountain bighorns from regions in the United States where they are plentiful to others where, so far as known, they have not live J. Some of the animals are being shipped long distances, says the Popular Sci ence Monthly. Wyoming is full of elk. The herds In the Juckson Hole country are the largest of any of North American wild animals since the days of the countless buffaloes. But the big Yosemlte Na tional park of California, with Its three-quarters of a million acres, un til recently had no elk, or at least only a very few scattered specimens. But the elk shipped In from Wyoming have become very much at home and nre breeding and multiplying rapidly, add ing to the chnrm and plcturesqueness of this popular national playground. Lova and Marriage. "First love is very apt not to be the lasting love," said Dr. Antoinette Konl kow, speaking at the Boston School of Social Science. "Young lovers try to excuse all the faults of the loved one because they are not In love with the Individual, but with love, nence they may not choose the partner with whom they will find their happiness In later years. Many a man and woninn Is glad by middle age that the first love was frustrated. "Marriage should be based on love alone or It Is Immoral, and some change Is necessary If marriage Is to be saved from degradation. Real love alwuys makes people better. Romantic love Is the source of all the best things In life the foundation of all the arts. And Individual happiness makes up the hap piness of tho race." Boston Post... Uia of Bacon Drippings. Bacon drippings inuke splendid short ening for light, fluky pie crust. It takes just a little less of the drippings than of ordinary lard or vegetable shortening. Use It for shortening hi spice cake, gingerbread or any dark cake und note tho delicious flavor. Spread rye bread with a thin luyer of the pure drippings and sprinkle a little salt on it. Add to this a thin slice of any salt meat and you will have a delicious and highly nutritious sandwich. The European housewife has long made use of such sandwiches for the between meal snack for grow ing boys and girls. Tha Pygmy Hippopotamua. One of the nnlmals least known to the outside world is the pygmy hippo potamus of West Africa. This animal is just what Its name imiiies, a pygmy hippopotamus. It Is much smaller than the common hippo potamus, being no lurger than au ordi nary or fair sized hog. It differs some what from the common hippo In the chnracter of Its teeth, and Instead of spending Its time In the rivers and lukes In large herds It wanders about through the Jungles singly or In pairs, much after the manner of swine in search of mast.

Carter Says City Must Raise $5,000 To the Editor: June 1 I received the following telegram: "The president has set aside by proclamation June 18 to 25 as Red Cross week. The full plan for this national week's campaign will be out lined at a meeting at Portland, Ore, Hotel Portland, Monday, June 4 10:30 a. m. The president requests you to attend this conference If you possibly can. JOSEPH J. TUMULTY, Secretary to the President.',' Similar telegrams were of course sent to hundreds of men all over the west) It was my privilege to attend the meeting of these Red Cross forces on the day designated and, aside from hundreds of delegates from our own state, there were delegates from Utah, Idaho, Montana and Washing ton, with prominent speakers from the east, California and other points on the coast. I wish that people from Ashland might have heard the inspiring ad dresses which It was my privilege to hear on this occasion. The plain and emphatic statements made by all of the speakers brought to me a realiza tion and an understanding of the seri ousness of the situation as I have never understood It before. As you know, by proclamation, the president of the United States has given his emphatic endorsement to the project of raising an enormous sum for the use of the Red Cross organization and his appeal Is being made all over the United States to every state In our nation to respond promptly and cheerfully to contributing its portion of the enormous sum asked. The request is being made for the raising of $100,000,009, a stupendous sum It Is true, but a sum that Is abso lutely necessary to provide for the welfare and the comfort of those who are' going abroad to fight our battles for us. Of thi3 $100,000,000 Oregon Is asked to subsciibo $600,000. Of the $600,000 Portland assumes the raising of $200,000; the $400,000 balance It Is hoped to raise In this state outside cf Portland. The appropriation committee have asked Ashland to raise not less than $5,000. I believe this sum can be raised and will be raised In this com munity, and not only that, I earnestly hope that we will exceed the amount. It Is true thct it will be a severe drain on this community. The very keynote of all the addresses given on the question in the meeting in Port land was that the people of the United States must be so impressed with the seriousness of the situation that they will be ready to make sacrifice after sacrifice to provide this fund neces sary for the care of our boys. We were assured from the platform by speaker after speaker that If this war were to be won It must be won through the efforts of America. Millions of the very flower of our young American manhood have en listed under the colors and we, the stay-at-homes, must provide means for their care and comfort, and this we should do cheerfully and willingly, welcoming the opportunity to show that, while we cannot actually place our lives In jeopardy as our boys are doing, we can show that our hearts are In the right place, and by giving our time and our money that we offer our support to our government that the militarism of Germany may be suppressed; the monarchical form of government dethroned and that that democratic form of government as symbolized by the Stars and Stripes shall be firmly and permanently ea tabllshed. Preliminary organization has been effected and every preparation Is be ing made to carry on the campaign during Red Cross week, June 18 to 25. If we are to raise the amount al lotted to us our subscriptions gener ally must be in larger amounts than hav,e ever been given before in any soliciting campaign carried on In this city. It is hoped that every man, woman and child will feel the urgency of the call and will respond in the largest possible measure. Our papers will be used for giving publicity to the campaign which is to be inaugurated. Headquarters will be established which will be kept open every day. where th,e fullest informa tion will be available for all who are Interested. I hope that when this campaign Is finished we shall be able to announce at the campaign headV quarters that there are no slackers In Ashland. Every dollar you give will be used in behalf of our boys who are to battle for the supremacy of our form of government and our flag which symbolizes it. "It is your flag and my flag! And, oh, how much it holds Y(yir land and my land Secure within Its folds!
