XLII ASHLAND. OREGON MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1917 NUMBER 44 TT TTX "FT TV T J6, Change Approved In Draft Plan A change in the machinery of the selective draft, based on division of Uhe 9,000,000 remaining registrants into five classes in order of their elig ibility for -military service, has been announced by Provost Marshal-General Crowder. Details oi the plan have been approved by President "Wilson, It Is stated, but have not been made public. It Is calculated to do away with all the complicated ma chinery of the. first draft and to make the operations of i the local boards hereafter a little more than rubber) stamp proceedings. The plan was worked out by local and district boards in conference and approved by the various state author ities. Its chief features are that every registered man will know his fact nosltion and be able to arrange lis affairs accordingly, and that no man deemed necessary In any Impor tant Industry, or needed at home to support his family, will be called to the colors, unless tne military siiua-. tion is desperate. In Issuing his statement General Crowder says: "The new system fixes a man's! status and calls himMn his proper turn when he is needed. He will be examined physically only when need ed. Thus the labors of the medical officers will be called on only when required. If the nation needs 500, 000 men, they will respond each In bis turn, fixed by bis class. . "The man who can be least spared will be the last to go. The new plan is being made ready for the printer and will be submitted to the local and district boards In ample time to en able them to familiarize themselves with It and thus approach their next draft with a thorough knowledge of Its requirements." Saturday's Game Results 0 to Q ' . . '' The "football game with Grants Pass last Saturday, resulted. In a score of 0 to 0 with the local. boys on the twenty-yard line. The Grants j Pass men were heavier by some j pounds than the Ashland. team, but the boys did themselves full credit to Coach King's training. The coach says he Is more than pleased with ne way the boys worked. The Ashland team used more "plays" than "rush- j es" on account of the superior weight of the visiting team. Contrary to ex- pecuuoiu. uulu iH.u , yaraage wueu wuriint south goal, which is up a decided I grade. Domino Provost and Captain Cfjyde Young played a game worthy W veterans, while Hubert Prescott, Arvin Burtiette and Dick Shinn played the back line "to a' finish." Grants Pass plays Medford next Saturday, and the approximate stand ing between the Ashland and Med ford teams may be judged by the score. Oregon City Paving is being done by the county at an Increase of 17.7 cents per square yard over last year, due to increase in labor and material charges.

Spence, master of the State Grange, have j0ne in a state-wide appeal to farmers to buy Liberty bonds. A large art of the money, derived from this Liberty loan will go directly back to the farmers and agricultural in terests In payment for supplies for the armies of the country. AH loans made by the government to the allies are for the purpose of enabling them to pay for produce of the soil and manufactures produced in this coun try. During the last Liberty loan cam paign, realizing that the farmers, livestock men and others interested! in agricultural pursuits at that par ticular time of the year were not In position to subscribe, no direct ap peal was made at that time to farm ers to come to the support of the government with. their funds.'

The young men were seen in Ash land yesterday and were o'n their way home when the fatal accident, of which details can not be learned, took place. A. L. Strickland, who came upon the scene of the tragedy soon after, stated that the car, which was a "bug" type, was 25 feet from the road, facing the opposite direction; Ashland Gives This Answer To Liberty Bond Campaign : The Liberty Loan campaign con tinues its gains every day and the re sults of the campaign workers are proving most satisfactory. Returns at the various banks show that Ash land is responding right royally to the call, and the overworked bank officials have reason to be proud of the gains the drive Is making each day. Ashland citizens In general are re sponding very generously to the call for loans, and the sentiment seems to prevail that so far as possible each one will do his part to raise the quota expected in Oregon. All of the sub scription committees are working In dustriously and no one may say he has not been given an opportunity to answer his country's appeal.

Max Tuffs was employed at a Grants Pass bank and was about 22. Lloyd Dyer was a postofflce employe, married, and about 25 years old.
