A trial will convince you that GAS is the CHEAPEST and BEST fuel to use. We will
make you a special proposition if you will call at our office or let us send our repre

desired. Ask the lady who uses gas if she could get along without it.

gry for lee cream and went uptown

they had to call in the neighbors to
help eat it. However, tho neighbors
can te'itify that the strawbery cream
was very fine Indeed and are not
at all sorry Mr. Wolters concluded he
was very hungry for Ice cream.
Oregon's Dollars
Are Not Slackers
If there were no Red Cross
America's part in the world conflict
would only be ruthless warfare.
We would be sending forth forces
solely to lay waste, destroy and kill.
For our soldiers and sailors, we
would give .no evidence of the con
cern felt at home for their welfare.
In our selfish clinging to con
venience, comfort - and luxury, we
would gl'e no sign of the "Spirit of
'76" or the splendid quality of sacri
fice that strengthened the fingers of
our women In the civil war as they
tore their delicate garments into
bandages
Our dollars would be slackers and
the soldier boy you told good-bye to
probably would not come back again.
But there Is a Red Cross
America has unsheathed the sword
and elevated the Red Cross.
On every battlefield our soldiers
will not go farther than the stretcher
bearers of the Red Cross, will not
rlBk their lives more splendidly for
our liberty than the stretcher bearers
do for mqrey.
Our ally will not love us better for
the strength we give his fighting arm
than the healing we lay upon his
wounds. Our boys will fight more
heroically, confident that if they fall,
the Red Cross will carry them back
of the trenches and do all that skill
and love and devotfon can do to save
their lives. Knowing, too, that If a
little cross In a foreign land must
mark their last resting place, the Red
Cross at home will be keeping want
from mothef, wife or children.
Wherever war makes need,, the Red
Cross serves. The servlco of the Red
Cross demonstrates above all that we
do Hot brutally fight to beat down
and break a foe, but for liberty, not
so swayed by lust of battle that we
cast from the hand of lqve the symbol
of mercy tho Red Cross.
Thus, even as America fights,
America's heart thrills in l espouse to
the Red Cross appeal and American
pocketbooks open wide.
Thus, even as Oregon gives her
young men to the army and the navy,
she gives her money to the Red Cross
that our defenders may be defended.
Throughout the state the emer
gency appeal of the Red Cross has
set In motion an army of volunteer
workers that are getting enthusiastic,
patriotic, generous response every
where.
Oregon's dollars are not slackers.
Tiffany Gets
Sewer Contract
O. C. Tiffany was awarded the con
tract for the construction of the sew-
ers'to be constructed on Maple street
and Lincoln street by the city council
Tuesday evening. His bid was far
below that of tho other bidders. Mr.
Walker stated: "Those will be the
cheapest sewers the city of Ashland
has ever got. The bid on the Lincoln
street sewer was 32 cents per foot.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our many friends
and neighbors for their expressions of
sympathy and their kind servlpes giv
en so generouely during the sickness
and following the death of our dear
one. MRS. D. WEREN,
MRS. C. L. BERGSTROM,
Mrs. B. O. WALLSTEN,
MR. E. H. WEREN.

The Great Effort
And What It Means
The greatest effort which humanity
has ever been called on to make in
the interest of a suffering world Is
now on, and few shirkers are found.
Perhaps no plan could have been de
vised that within' cne week's effort
would furnish such a splendid census
of the patriotism of this great coun-
try than the plan of raising $100. -
000,000 for Red Cross purposes. It
is a wonderfullv Insnlrltlne thine that
at thia moment is being done In every
nook and corner cf the great republic.
Who Is It that now Is willing to say
that America can not bo aroused by
sentiments of humanity and mercy to
offer Its money and the blood of its
sons In the cause of liberty and love?
Away out here, 6,000 miles from
the trenches, the wave of interest Is
rolling In with an irresistible force.
Rich and poor alike aro coming to the
front and placing on the altar their
offerings. The widow's mite as well
as tho great contributions of the
"captains of industry" are made with
thankfulness. Our boys who are soon
