State Will Try For Tubercular Hospital : At a recent meeting ot the medical section of the state Council of de fense held in Portland a short time aeo. a resolution was adopted to make an effort to secure for western Oregon one of the seven hospitals to be erected by the war department for the care of soldiers in the selrv- !ce who contract tuberculosis. To further the efforts of the state to gain this project, Dr. A. C. Seely, of Roseburg, president of the state board of health, has gone to Wash ington, D. C, xto present Oregon's claim to the war department. On this mission Dr. Seely has the sup port of a resolution adopted at the meeting of the medical sections. which reads as follows: " "Whereas, the federal government contemplates establishing seven hos pitals for the care ot returning tu berculosis soldiers and sailors, and "Whereas, of these, the nearest designated hospital to which tin; Oregon, Washington and California soldiers and sailors may go is at Fort Whipple, Arizona, and "Whereas, medical authorities agree, that such patients should be treated near home and In their own environment; therefore, Be It resolved, that the fereal government be requested to establish a tuberculosis sanltorlum somewhere in'the northwest for the care of re turning tuberculosis soldiers and sail ors, and that a cony of this resolu- There never was a time since Adam, as good to buy on easy terms, as the present.

At the state council of defense con ference Dr. E. A. Pierce, Dr. Ray Matson and other experts In the treatment of tuberculosis, testified that frequently the transfer of a sold ier from the west coast environ ment to high, arid attitudes is as deadly as his disease; also that there is no bettre climate for the treat ment and cure of tuberculosis than that of western Oregon. Each of the hospitals to be built by the government will have facili ties for 1000 men. MiLsinU Itecitul '. A recital will be given at the home of Mrs. J. R.

Card, who Is the local representative of the women's land army of Jackson county, has been re quested by Chairman M. D. James to learn how many women and girls In this section will enroll for agrl cultural work this summer. In ord er to obtain this information Mrs Card has placed a register in the city hall where any person desiring work or who will volunteer his Or her serv ices to assist in any form of occupa tion may become enrolled. According to Instructions furnish ed Mrs. Card, female agricultural workers are organized into units which go out under the care of' a chaperon and live in tents, boarding themselves. The chaperons are ex pected to assist with the cooking and look after the general welfare of the girls. Several units should be form ed In this part of the valley for work In this and neighboring counties. Any one interested should see Mrs. Card at once. Coimty Co-Operation For Food Campaign The officials of the United States government recognize the necessity for food conservation' in this great crisis that the civilized world is fac ing. Home demonstration agents have been placed in practically every state in the union. In some states these agents are supported by coun ty funds entirely. Iowa has 99 agents, all on county funds. In Oregon the United States gov ernment Is paying the salary for the agents and asking counties to provide funds for office rent and traveling expenses. Oregon now has seven home demonstration agents, each one covering two or more counties. The government deems this work so im portant that officials have requested that agents confine their efforts to only one county, and counties pro viding expense funds will be supplied with agents. Miss Anne McCormlck has been acting as agent for Josephine and Jackson counties for the past six months. Many petitions have been signed asking that Jackson county court provide funds for this work so that Miss McCormlck may be re tained In this county. The home demonstration work means more than Just food conserva tion. It has a direct relation to all home problems and the work Bhould be continued in Jackson countv. About nine-tenths of the food con sumed passes through the hands of the housewife, and if we are to win this war, it is necessary to conserve food to the limit. Wheat substi tutes offer an Important problem and the demonstration agent Is kept busy giving demonstrations ajdng this line. Great University For American Boys Will Improve Stock Of Dairy Cattle R. D. Sanford, of lower Helman street, received by express last Wed nesday a yearling registered Jersey bull calf from F. E. Lynn, of Perry dale, Oregon, for which he paid $000. He has very high producing ances torall the way backl being sired by a son of St. Mowes Poppy, Ed Casey's great cow who has a record of 1120 pounds of butter in one year, and from a two-year-old heifer, Poppies Grace, who has just finished one year's official test of 600 pounds of butter in one year. This bull should be an acquisition to the local neighborhood in getting more profitable cows, as he expects to take in outside service, but pri marily Mr. Sanford bought him to breed his own cow that has made 990 pounds of butter In one year. Mrs. C. A. Cotter has returned home from Morley, Cat., where she had been 'spending several weeks. Slacker Being Held In Douglas County Sheriff Quino received word from Dole Saturday evening that a slacker had been found loitering near there Sheriff qulne left immeditely for Dole and took the man in charge and brought him to Roseburg, where he was lodged In the county jail. The man gave his name of Ed King, and that he had registered at Phoenix, Arizona. He Is 28 years of age and said that he had registered but he carried no card and the officers havo evidence that he is a slacker. He has been in hiding behind a plfq of railroad ties near Dole for the last three or four days, until , ha was found by people in that vicinity who suspected him of being a slacker. A telegram was sent Monday morn ing to Phoenix to obtain information regarding the man and If the Phoe nix authorities wish him returned to that city. Pending what disposi tion Is decided to the made with him, the man will be held a prisoned in the local jail. . t A telegram received by the sheriff from Phoenix stated that King first had failed to return his question naire. He was apprehended at Fresno, Cat , on May 23, and quali fied on May 28, and evidently de serted en route. Hence he is not only a slacker but a deserter as well. The sheriff was instructed to deliver him to the nearest army post for In vestigation. The penalty for deser tion In time of war Is quite severe. Roseburg Review. Clothing Firm Has SeveredlPartnership The clothing firm of Mitchell & Whittle was dissolved this week, the senior partner taking entire posses sion of the business. This Is one of the leading business places of Ash land and has enjoyed a prosperous career for the many years It has ex isted, and best wlshe's for Us contin uance will go with the remaining member for the future. Mr. Whittle, the retiring member of the firm, will remain with Mr Mitchell until after the Fourth of July, after which he will take a much needed rest for a few weeks. It Is not known In what enterprise Mr. Whittle will embark, as he has several propositions under considera tion. MUST HE 21 TO ENTER SCHOOL OK MUSING Women between the ages of 21 and 35 who have had a high school edu cation or its equivalent, will be eli gible for admission to th'e army school of nursing, arrangements for which were recently made by the war department. It is intended to start several schools In selected mili tary hospitals. Unless otherwisf' specified, applications should be sent directly to the army school of nurs ing, office of the surgeon general of the army, Washington. D. C. The greatest university ever opefl ed In the world, says an exchange, Is now in full blast over in France, for which several hundred prepara tory schools have been opened in this country. These are filled with young men who will soon be ready to matriculate, and their places will be taken by thousands of others, so that by the autumn there will be several mlllfon men over there, or fit to go over, and to go over the ton If necessity demands or oppor tunity offers. And the beauty and the great promise of It all is that they will be thoroughly Interested in the great problems that are con fronting humanity, and fully appre ciate the necessity for solving them for the benefit of the world general ly. Many people have the Idea that war Is demoralizing, and that those who serve a term are not fit for much during the remainder of their lives. Instead of army training de moralizing men and making them worse it Is making them better every day. This Is the testimony of prac tically everyone who has visited any of the training camps. Those who have taken the training preparatory to entering the great university over there need only to appear In person to satisfy anyone that they have been wonderfully improved, while those vho have been over there, and even over the top, although they may have gotten the worst of it, agree In say ing that it is great, and is fully worth a" It may cost. Weaklings of all sorts are made strong, men of short vision see far ther and clearer, and men of coarse habits are refined. This is not in iso lated cases, but the rule. The physi cal education these men receive is worth It all, not excepting the risk of life, for we were fast becoming a nation of physicial weaklings. "The American In uniform is liv ing on a higher moral plane than the American in civil life," Is the con clusion of an associate president of the United Society of Christian En deavor recently returned from a so journ with the American soldiers In France. "The American soldier over seas is true to the finest traditions of American arms. The stories of whole sale drunkenness and vice which have disturbed the minds of thous ands of people who have given their sons to the nation, are not true. The program of the American authorities in France is the' most comprehensive and aggreslve ever attempted by a nation at war to keep her fighting men physically sound and morally fit. The fruits of the program are unmistakable. "My own investigations, conducted under every condition of army life and in every training camp of any size where American soldiers are gathered together In France, substan tiate the figures of the military au thorities which prove that the Ameri can In uniform is today living on a higher moral plane than the Ameri cans In civilian life. My word to the mothers and fathers of this country Is one of reassurance and cheer." By getting these facts well Into your system you will acquire a broad er and a clearer vision of the great undertaking In which we are engag ed, and you will contribute more freely and willingly to the support of the government. . This war Is not being foubht for the fun of licking somebody, nor merely to display military skill, or. the fighting quality of men, but for the purpose of removing an enorm ous obstruction from the pathway of human progress and world prosperity.

Benefit A fine rooster Is making the rounds of the various Blks lodges of the coast towns where it is raffled off by each lodge for the benefit of the Red Cross fund. The bird reached Ashland Saturday, where at the regular meeting of Ashland lodgo No. 944, It became the temporary property of II. H. Gillette. Owing to the fact that he could not'keep the prize cockerel he was presented with a ticket to the Roundup as a substi tute. The presentation was made by Exalted Ruler A. C. Nlnlnger and Secretary J. E. Thornton. Summer Schedule For B.P.O.E. Lodge Ashland lodge No. 944, B. P. O. E , has adopted Its regular summer schedule governing meeting nights until the first of October. According to the usual custom the lodge will meet but once a month during July, August and September. The July meeting will be held on the 13th of the month instead of the 6th, on account of the Fourth of July festivities which extend over that date. The meetings In August and Sep tember will take place the first Sat urday evenings of those months. Whiskey Runners In Policemen's Toils A party of Medford joy riders were arrested In Ashland Sunday night and were fined for bringing liquor from California into the bone dry state. One of the party had plenti fully imbibed of the cup that cheers and while he had no liquor in his possession was held on the charge of boisterous conduct and was fined $5.

Fuel Question Is Grave One In City In compliance with the procalma tlon of Governor WIthycombe to ob serve this week as fuel week through out the state and insure the winter supply of fuel by early ordering, a number of Ashland people have taken time by the forelock and placed ord ers for coal with the Ashland Stor age company, the only coal dealers in the city. The matter of getting good coal Is a serious one and tha outlook for the coming winter is not encouraging to those who depend on being supplied as the need arises. The best coal brought Into the city Is the Rock Springs coal from Wy oming. This is difficult to procure on account of Inability to get car.? and the high rate of freight over the mountains. Washington coal and briquettes can be procured in abund ance, but residents object to the lat ter after burning Rock Springs coal. C. F. Bates, manager of the transfer and storage company, states that ho has filed a large order for coal and will supply the demands as fast as It is shipped in, but the problem con fronting him is that of obtaining the coal. Washington coal will be plentiful. It is claimed, and easy to obtain, and while it is not so desirable as Rock Springs coal to many consumers, it will answer the purpose for supply ing the winter fuel if nothing better can be obtained. From present indications wood seems to be out of the running when it comes to a fuel for this section. While there is no dearth of wood la the forests the question of gottlng It cut and hauled has become such a problem that during the present la bor shortage wood for fuel may be come a thing of the past.
