I The executive commitee in charga of tbe campaign soon to be inaugu rated for an American Legion club room fund are holding it In abeyance until the several other campaigns that have had precedence have been cleared away. For the past two weeks Ashland has been extremely busy taking care of the various af fairs that have come before her. Among these were the entertainment of the extension trade excursion when upwards of 100 Portland business men were guests of the city, the "Buy-a-Brlck" drive and the Roose velt Memorial campaign which Is on all over the country this week. All these are perfectly good projects and were necessary of attention, but the committee planning the campaign that is strictly a home affair deemed it advisable to bold off until all these other affairs have been taken care of, when they will form the campaign for the fund to provide a club room for the ex-service boys as a memorial for their patriotic ser vices In the late war. Beginning as soon as the Roose velt Memorial drive Is completed the executive committee will organize, appoint sub-committees and lay out their campaign which will be floated with a swing. The raising of the former campaigns have been matters of duty and patriotism. The rais ing of the American Legion club room fund will be a matter of love In which all citizens will be glad to have the privilege of assisting. . Ashland was visited today by Hen ry Stewart of San Diego, Calif., who claims to be the champion walker of the world. Mr. Stewart, who Is an elderly man, states that he has walked 60,000 miles over four con tinents since 1910, and has seen many adventures. His latest trip started in February from Washing ton, D. C, and consisted of a Jour ney over the Cumberland mountains to Pittsburgh, Pa. From there his route took him to Chicago and St. Paul, and as he had not seen Winni peg, Canada, for 32 years, he took a side trip there to see how that country had improved. Whilo in Canada he stopped long enough to pitch some bundles in the harvest fields. The aged man Is covered with medals which he has picked up from practically every civilized coun try In the world. He is now on his way to his home where he expects to recount his experiences in a book of travels. The educational campaign to en lighten the public In methods of ac cident prevention which began with the Southern Pacific last Saturday is meeting with good results, locally, according to Station Agent G. N. Kra mer. This campaign is being waged all over the United States among the railroads and Is known as the "no accident two weeks." Mr. Kramer keeps tab on the Shasta division as well as the local yards and will re port results as soon as the cam paign is ended.

Bliss of 180 Harrison street, brought Into the Dally Tld inRs office recently a clipping of : great age from a Pike county, Mls ! sourl, newspaper giving un account of a sale bill that had been held j in that county In 1846.

The muss meeting nt Moose hall 1 last night was well attended by la j boring men of the city anxious to I find a solution for the high cost of j living. Mr. Gibson, of the State Ex change storo at Portland, a co-opera-I tive enterprise, made an explanation ot the methods of distribution and urged the organization of a co-oper-' a tive storo. He did not make It clear, however, whether he advocat ' ed a store of the kind for Ashland j or was simply after the business of ; the laboring men for his Portland ! store, as he announced that the Port i land store was doing a thriving mail I order business. The co-operative idea has a long trail of failures. Tbe eorists for nearly a hundred years have advocated co-operative buying : and Belling, but of the thousands of co-operative schemes tried In the past not one remain, i It ha our opinion that an effective means of Flopping profiteering will solve tho question of the high cost of living much quicker and more sat isfactorily than any co-operative ven ture. The young man who learns to de pend first upon himself will seldom have to appeal to others.

Ford officials, workers, sailors and many Invited guests witnessed the launching. Number Sixty was dressed with flags and bunting and as It fpund Its level In the Rogue and floated free from the railroad tracks which had carried it onto the elevator-like launching table, the fuctory whistle took part in the ceremony by blowing sixty blasts one for each boat launched at. the Ford yard. Twenty-five "Eaglesi have already been commissioned by the navy, and It Is expected that the remaining boats will be entirely completed by November 1. One thing which great ly prolonged the work was tbe changes made In the outfitting ot the boats shortly after the armistice was signed. As rapidly as tbe "Eagles" are commissioned, they are Joining different squudrons ot the U. S. Fleet: Six of the Ford boats are going to the Philippines to re place six old destroyers and gun boats; another squadron will Join the International Patrol off tbe cojuit of China; "Eagles" 1, 2 and 3 are now doing patrol duty adjacent to Arch angel, Russia, and It is quite proba ble that a small fleet will be sent to Italy. The "Eagles" were designed par ticularly to carry the submarine de tecting devices or "listeners," depth bomb protectors and three-inch guus with which to combat tbe U-boat once It had ben located by the "listener." They are practically noiseless In operation, light, speedy and so constructed that a quick get away Is possible it being necessary to often stop to "listen" while chas ing down a detected sub.
