IL Red Cross EE ET Activities Red Cross I'lnns to Alii Families of KnliHtcd Men. Henry Bogart. coast supervising director of family relief, for the American Red Cross, visited Medford last week, In order to organize relief work for families of enlisted men. T. H. Simpson Is at the head of civil ian relief for our Ashalnd auxiliary of the A. n. C; and, while the fact that wo are morely auxiliary to Med ford may prevent our receiving visits from tho national leaders like Mr. Bogart, It will In no way affect our obligation towards the families of our soldiers. In regard to this, Mr. Hogart said: "White peoplo understand pretty clearly what the Red Cross Is doing on the medical, nursing and supply side of Its program, they do not fully grasp what this organization is plan ning to do among the families of sol diers and sailors. This Is natural, Bince, as yet. the volume of family work Is comparatively small.. But the officials at Washington are look ing forward towards a large task that will confront the civilian .relief sec tion of tho Red Cross throughout the country In the near future. It will concern Itself not merely about the creature needs of the families of sol diers and sallorsn but with their so cial needs also.

Poem That Caused Proof Pirt1H1fT1flH UlCdl UUIUUIUIIUU A good many of the readers may remember tho commotion created by Captain Joseph Bullock Coghlan of the United States navy at the dinner given in his honor at the Union League Club, New York, shortly after the Boer war In South Africa In 1899, when Captain Coghlan recited the following poem: Melnself Uud Gott. Der kaiser of dls fatherland Und Gott on high all dings command, Vetwo ach! Don't you understand? Melnself und Gott.

As we have chosen Ashland for the home of the Tidings, w,e desire to say a few words In reference to Its enterprises and characteristics. Ash land Is located sixteen miles south of Jacksonville, on the Overland stage lltyj. It Is also the western terminus of Hatton & Garrett's stage line, who carry tho mall tri-weekly from here to Llnkvllle, and thence weekly, via Goose Lake and Intermediate points ' to Lake City,, Cal. Ashland contains a population of ; . ., . , Bume uvo iiuimreu, ana is noiea ior i ... . .. me excellence or us scnoois, ooin pun- . I lie and private. Ashland Academy j Is located here and has a fine attend-. ance. It, Is conducted by J. H. Skid more, one of the most efficient teach ers in the state. Our district school had an average attendance of one hundred and twenty-five during the last term. The principal feature of Ashland, however, Is Its magnificent water power, afforded by Ashland creek, which runs through the town. Al though there Is one woolen factory, ,ou,er Pace ' yeIIw and sere, Being the junction of the road leading to Link River, Lan'gell'B Val ley, Goose Lake and other points east of the mountains, our merchants and millers enjoy a very large trade from these sections of the country, which Is rapidly Increasing every year. There Ib one peculiarity ln which Ashland differs from most other towns of Ub size. It has neither church nor saloon; however, whiskey Is sold by the bottle, and preaching done ln the 3chool house, and there - fore the peoplo are generally happy.

"Today we've done our best On different sides. What matters now? Tomorrow we're at rest. Life lies behind. I might not care For only my own sake; But far away are other hearts That this day's work will break.

"Today we sought each other's lives; Death levels all that now, For soon before God's mercy-seat Together shall we bow.

The big press was busily grinding out the great Ash land newspaper and. as the door to the press room happened to be open, the noise filled the office where the news Is put Into readable form by yours truly. Since I come to this town I have been so eager to read the latest news that, I have gotten into the habit of grabbing the first paper that leaves tho folding machine before It gets cold. Then I hie my self back to my desk, put my feet on top of same and proceed to devour the news. So late Thursday after noon I had the paper up before me, held by my two long arms, and was completely "lost to the world." I supposed I was alone, as my side klck,er and office mate, Ling, was out But Just Imagine the state of my mind when I happened to observe a wonderfully vivid picture of a very pretty young lady's face gradually coming Into view over the upper ho rizon of the Tidings! I thought to myself. "Am I seeing things?" But a slight attack of psychic phenomi- nitls aroused me to my wits. "I beg pardon are you the editor?"
