Mrs. Hargrove Died at Advanced Age Mrs. Eleanor Hargrove, one of the oldest residents of Ashland, died at her home on North Pioneer avenue Monday forenoon, after an illness extending over two weeks. , She had been In fairly good health up to that period, asldle from the general debility Incident to advanced age, which was 93 years, 4 months and 8 days.

"Grandma" Hargrove, as she was affectionately called by her legion of friends In Ashland and vicinity, was a notable personage. She not only bore a rugged constitution that withstood the Ills of the flesh for so many years, but she possessed a wonderful Intellect that carried true to the laBt. As long as. the spark of life remained her thoughts were for the welfare of her children and dur ing her last illness she endeavored to spare her devoted daughters as much as possible from the tasks of caring for her pain-racked body, Until two weeks ago she lookled after her household Interests with as much care as she had bestowed In the days of her prime, and her home was truly her castte.

HALE'S PIANO HOUSE IXC. 22tf J. F. Hale, Gen. Mgr. Th!o Freeman, Smith Camps com pany, which Is offering the bonds for the Talent municipal Irrigation district for sale, report a good de mand. The reason for this demand Is attributed to the fact that they arte a direct general tax Ifcn upon 8417 acnes of the famou Rogue River valley lands, 90 per cent of which Is under cultivation This dis trict is unusually attractive be cause such a large percentage of it Is under cultivation and Income pro ducing at the tlm,e of Issuing its bonds. According to the report Issued by Freeman, Smith & Camps legs than $50,000 of the Issue remains unsold. The Oregon law regarding the Issu ance of Irrigation bonds is strong in the way of safe-guarding investors. Victory Loan Hade by Voluntary Plan With, the opening of banking hours Monday morning subscribers to the Fifth or Victory Loan began to make their appearance, and the bank officials have been busy writ ing bonds up to the present. The celebration yesterday afternoon rather ovef-shadowed the purchas ing of bonds during the afternoon, but the addresses given by the spjakers at the celebration ' served as an inspiration to incite local citi zens to subscribe as heavily es their means' permit. ' ' The voluntary subscription plan has heretofore worked so successful ly that It will be carried out during the prfcnt campaign. As the terms for the present loan are so satisfac tory it la not thought that any de- lays will result In raising Ashland's quota, and that her citizens will con tinue In the record of the past in meeting all the demands expected of them. 1 ' ' 1 All anticipating the purchase of bonds should respond at once with a ready hand. With the raising of Ashland's quota of $175,000 her part which she has been so prodigal in giving will be finished, as this Baptist Assn. to Meet in Ashland Tho Rogue River Baptist Associa tion will hold Its forty-second an nual meeting In the local Baptist church here this week, beginning Friday evening and extending over Sunday.
