R. C. surgical dressings have been officially made standard for all French hospitals by the French war department. This Is pleasant news for tlio armies of American women, who have been so painstakingly manufacturing mil lions of these surgical dressings. It Is a tribute deserved by our own lo cal unit of gauze workers, who, un der Mrs. Graham and Mrs.' S. B. Mc. Kalr, have been turning out work absolutely perfect In every detail tor something more than a year. Tho "Greatest Mother In the World," tho poster which was the model for Ashland's beautiful 4th of July float and which made such a profound Impression upon the American people, during the last It.

These black broadcloth arm bands bearing a gilt star for each member of a family, who has made tho supreme tacrlflce for his country, were adopt ed by tho woman's committee of the Council of National Defense, in lien ( ? mourning, and tho Idea was hear tily endorsed by President Wilson. MOUNTAIN LIONS POI ND IN NATIONAL PARKS Although mountain Hons are, un fortunately for tho deer, found occa sionally In most of our western na tional parks, they are rarely seen. There is no more timid, even coward ly, brute In America. Your lion. vhich Is really the panther of our eastern wilderness, has his home in the most retired rocky fastness of his neighborhood and skulks abroad at night. His purpose Is to play rafe. He rarely takes a chance with animals capable of fighting back, and never with man. He leaps upon tho unsuspecting deer from behind or from a high rock or low tree. His ..peclul fondness for kids and fawns Is suspected to originate in their helplessness rather than the tender ness and delicacy of their flesh. Because he Is a large brute with a jiood appetite and likes his meat (iu I to fresh, the lion Is exceedingly ccstructlve. lie returns to his kill only while the meat remains sweet Then he kills again. Often, when deer are plentiful, he kills wanton ly for the love of killing. Lato last winter two lions were shot near Hospital Rock In the So ;t;ola national park.' "They had kill ed several deer," writes Superinten dent Fry, in reporting the shooting, "and about all that wus necessary war, to watch the carcasses and shoot when opportunity offered. The fe tiale lion was killed tho second day and tho male the fourth day. Then were several hundred rood In the herd when the lions uttackod them, but tiie following day they left tho country nnd did not appear again In tho vicinity of Hospital Rock for about two weeks. The Hons killed in ono night many more doer thau ilicy were able to eat." But lions are not usually so eas ily shot. They are best got In the whiter when they may be trailed b.1 dogs to their liars In the far places. .Mountain lions, lynxes, v.olves, coyotes and foxes only are Ullcd In our national parks, and these only because of their preda- t oi y habits. Ashland Adds 457 To U.S. Man Power Registration day, Thursday, Sep tember 12, was not marked with any particular festivities to show that it was different from any oilier busi ness day of tho year, save, perhaps, more men were seen on the streets throughout the day, us those living In the more remote sections of the city were present at hours unusual for them to be about. As a usual thing men dropped Into the registration places on their way to and from their business appoint ments and continued on their routine r.ifalrs. Ashland added 437 more to tho man power of the nation for military duty Thursday. Of these the larg est number to register was In the district north and wist of Main street at the office of G. F. and G. H. Billings. Two hundred and nine reg istered here, of which 173 were over 31 years of ago, 29 under 21 and five were between the ages of 21 nnd 31. These latter were princi pally Mexicans who had Just lately entered this country. The district comprising those Hv !nr west of Main and Ashland creek and registering with Attorneys W. J. Moore and -Nellie Dickey In the Mllls McCall building had 91 registrants, of these 13 were under 21 years, and 7X over. The third district register lag with Mayor C. B. Lamkln and Attorney L. A. Roberts in the Citl sens bank building had 147 resident registrants and 10 non-resident. At ilils district the number registering under 21 was very small. A universal sentiment In favor of entering service Beeiued to prevail among me registrants. In many instances when the question was asked the registrants If any circum stances prevailed to cause exemption, the answer was, "Yes, but let the botrd find that out." The majority of men expressed a desire to go to war at the earliest opportunity. TK CTOIi DEMONSTRATION GIVEN AT O. A. C. Almost 400 persons, men and wo men, saw a tractor demonstration on the college farm recently. Ten ma chines were exhibited and each was required to plow one acre of the hard, dry stubble field, seven inches deep and without stop. No judges were formally appointed, but tho farmers and all others Interested were Invited by County Agent G. W. Kable to examine the plowing, meas ure the furrow, observe the speed ttiid pick the winners for themselves. "You were asked to come here .lot because every farmer wants or reeds a tractor," said Mr. Kable, ' but because most of you are inter ested In tractor work. A list of ad vantages of fall plowing is on the bulletin board here, and they are many and Important. "Fall plowing without a tractor Is cften Impossible and Impracticable, ecause the ground is so hard. A f've-horse team Is now plowing here with a disk plow, and you have a Miance to compare the work they are oolng with the work of the tractor." A feature of the demonstration was tho number of automobiles la which the farming population came to see the tractors work. More than 100 cars were parked In the fields nd along the roads. , Hearst's Papers Burn In Bonfire While nlnging "Keep tho Home Fires Burning," a score or more Eu geno citizens, most of them mem bers of the local patriotic leagui, burned nearly $100 worth of San Francisco Examiners ind several 'of II. a Hearst magazine i.uhllcatlon." on I be county Jnld grounds last Fri day night. Tho papers and magazines which the Eugene news stand dealers hive refused to sell further because of the alleged disloyalty of W. R. Hearst, the publisher, have been sent to the dealers here with the threat that the publishing companies will sue to collect for them If they nro not paid to!, but tho dealers have stood firm and have left the packages unopened. Friday night a small body of pa t -lotlc citizens headed by Jerome Workman, nocretary cf the Lane county war board, went to tho cigar btcre of I!. 12. Owen, where these Infers and magazines had been ac- ci'mulatlng, and took them off his hands. They carried them over to the Jail grounds only a block away nrd, after 'saturating them with ker osene, touched a match to them. The crowd grew rapidly and by tho tlnio the blaze hat! reached Its height sev eral hundred peoplo had gathered. Mr. Workman addressed the crowd briefly, stating that the material for the fire was furnished by William R. Hearst and that "We are now burn ing his propaganda." Mr. Work man proposed three cheers for the loyal Eugene news dealers and the cheers were given with a will. KEEP WRITING TO ROYS OYER THERE AND WAIT Don't stop writing to your man In service over there because Uncle Sam is a little slow in delivering his mail, lliat Is the advice of Otto Praeger, second assistant pobtmaster general, who has Issued a circular letter In recard to mall for soldiers In France. Few persons know how devious Is the route of a letter mailed In the home town and directed to a man overseas, Praeger states, and fewer still stop to consider that mall for a m'llion and a half men is being de livered to several hundred camps. Mall for American troops In the English, Canadian or French armies i dispatched as foreign mail to the government with which the soldier 13 Identified and Is delivered to him by t.:at government. All mall for the American expedi tionary forces Is handled by the United States postal service, which dollvers It to the proper military postal authorities In France. Mall orderlies with every unit of the army kep the main office Informed of the transfer of Individuals or regi ments. Complaints arise chiefly, Praeger pays, from the fact that persons com municating with our troops do not lake into consideration that approxi mately 30 days are required from the time of mailing until a letter reaches the addressee, owing to the disturbed ocean traffic. Another cause of com plulnt Is the Insufficient manner in vhich mall Is addressed. Foreign governments refuse to forward mall which is Improperly addressed. Between 1,000,000 and 2,850,000 letters Is part of the cargo of each fast vessel, sailing Irregularly, to which the mall Is Intrusted. "Don't write to any department In Washington regarding the non-delivery of mail to members of the Amer ican expeditionary forces," Praeger advises. "The war department Is too busy delivering mail to spend time following up complaints. Address your letters properly, then have patience.
