MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON", FRTDAY, MAY 25, 1917
ASHLAND, May 25. The twenty
sixth annual commencement exercises
of the Ashland high school class ot
1917, took place last night at the
armory, 49 graduates receiving their
diplomas. The big armory was gaily
decorated but the lack of customary
floral offerings was noticeable, this
season being unusually backward In
yield of floricultural tributes, roses
especially. What was lacking in this
respect, however, wns more than sup
plied by added enthusiasm and class
spirit. The class motto is "Hasten
Slowly." Colors, green and white.
Officers: Lelth Abbott, president;
Fern Murphy, vice-president; Harley
Holmes, secretary-treasurer. The pro
gram tlio brief Incorporated a wealth
of practical Illustration with a due
proportion of romanticism, the latter
especially predominating in the class
prophecy, .by Ernest Abbott, and class
seS.-lment 'by Lelth Abbott. The ad
dress was delivered by J. A. Churchill
of Salem, State superintendent of pub
lic instruction. His suuject incorpor
ated the striving for the highest
Ideals by the student body along the
avenues of physical, moral and intel
lectual development. Diplomas were
presented by Fred S. Engle, chairman
of the school board. Rev. H. A. Car
nahan gave the Invocation, and Rev.
Geo. S. Brett pronounced the benedic
tion. In the main the musical accom
paniments to the program wore by the
high school orchestra, the audience at
the close joining In "The Star Span
gled Banner," as a rousing chorus
reflecting the patriotic sentiment.
The following is a list of the 49
graduates, 29 young men and 20
young women. Of the boys, 12 have

Superintendent George A. DrUcoe
Max Pracht, long prominent in
business, political and social circles
of Ashland, one of those who gave
Ashland Its first boom back in the
SO's, died at the National Soldiers'
home at Sawtelle, Calif., aged 70
years, May 22. The remains were
brought to Ashland. The funeral serv
ices will be held from the family resi
dence under the auspices ot the Elks
Saturday.
Max Pracht was born In Bavaria in
1846, coming to this country at the
age of six years with his parents, who
settled in Cincinnati. He led a varied
career which carried him into many
different business ventures and all
over the world. He was one of the
pioneer Alaska fishery men and gain
ed an insight into conditions there
which resulted in his appointment as
the first government fish commission
er of Alaska. He also served col
lector of customs at Sitka under Pres
ident Harrison. Ill various other ca
pacities he served the government,
both at Washington City and else
where. He was in the treasury de
partment at the Capitol for a time and
served the interior department In
handling public lands in the south
west. Ho was also in the health de
partment and at one time went to
Europe as a member of the protective
tariff board. At another time he
went to Europe as representative of
an American firm in the east which
was introducing wire cables and kin
dred products and the machinery to
produce them. For a time he repre
sented tills firm at Manchester, England.
Sir. Pracht was married October 21
1867, to Miss Mary AVinnings of Cin
cinnati. To them were born three
children, all of whom survive him to
mourn with their mother. They are
W. -B. Pracht and A. H. Pracht of
Ashland and Mrs. A. R. Wilkins of
Dunsmuir, California.
Mr. Pracht settled In Ashland In
1SSG, laying out the "Peachblow Par
adise," In the center of which tract
stands the Pracht home. Ho was a
scholar and linquist, served in the
civil war and was a member ot Burn
side Grand Army post of Ashland and
a charter member Ashland lodge of
Elks.
Notwithstanding the fact that peti
tions are in circulation In Medford
and elsewhere requesting the appoint
ment of former Senator Chas. W. Ful
ton as United State senator to suc
ceed the late Harry Lane, Governor
Withycomtbe Is reported to have se
lected Charles L. McN'ary ot Salem,
who was appointed supreme court
justice by Governor West, to the va
cancy. The appointment will not be
announced until after Senator Lane's
funeral.
Judge McN'ary Is state chairman of
the republican state central commit
tee and managed the Hughes cam
paign. He is a progressive republi
can. It Is known that the governor, In
looking over the field for a United
States senator, has given more consid
eration to the question of who will
likely make a strong running mate
for him when he comes up for election
next year than to carrying out his
personal desires.
Many names are being discussed
about the capitol and many conjec
tures being made. Some advance the
idea that the governor may appoint
Wallace McCamant, whom he recently
appointed to the supremo bench. It
so, Judge McCamant would resign
from the bench and Charles McXary
would be appointed to that position.
Among other names being men
tioned are State Senator S. B. Huston
of Portland, an avowed candidate for
the place; Edgar B. Piper, editor of
the Orcgonian; Congressman C. N.
McArthur, formdr United States Sena
tor C. W. Fulton, Congressman X. J.
Sinnott and others.
Gus Moser, president of the last
state senate and then an avowed can
didate for governor, is also after the
appointment for United States sena
tor.
Recruits can now enlist in the ma
rine corps nt - tho Medford recruitini;
office in the federal building for the
period of the war only. Sergeant
James Hrooks, in charge of the Mod
ford office, received a telegram from
Captain C. B. Pinkston, head recruit
ing officer of tho murines in this
state, late yesterday authorizing
such enlistments. Heretofore anyone
enlisting in the murine cores had to
enlist for four years.
Sergeant Paul A. Bauer who enmo
here several days ago from Grants
Pass to open up a recruiting office
for the tinny in the federal building,
hud just selected his offices in the
federal building when he received a
tclcgnini ordering him to go to a town
in the northern part of the state on
recruiting duty. The telegram, which
was from Captain Hucbsoher, head
army recruiting officer in Oregon, did
not state how long the sergeant should
ho gone, but when ho left Medford lie
expected to be able to return in a
few days nnd open up the recruiting
office hero.
Sergeant Bauer was only mnrricd
last MomTy at tilie home of the
bride's parents in Grants Pass to
Veronique Frances McCurdy. The
next day they came to Medford and
engaged apartments in the Holland
hotel, when Bauer was ordered north
by his superior officer. Ilis bride ae
companicd him.
The recruiting officers on duty in
Medford expect Brush of applicants
for enlistment before the draft day
comes on June 5.

Yes,
brown
and tender, too
Listen to these real fried potatoes
Of course, when you
fry potatoes you want
them brown. Unless a
fried potato is brown it
isn't a fried potato at all.
Have you ever seen
and tasted potatoes
fried with Cottolene?
If not, you owe your
self something. Cotto
lene quickly brings
potatoes to a nice brown
quicker than you ever
saw potatoes browned
before.
The result is a nice,
tender, mealy inside
and a delicious flavor,
too.
Why don't you get a
tin of Cottolene and en
joy real fried potatoes
tomorrow?
The same tin of Cot
tolene will make delici
ous biscuits for you, too,
and hot bread and
cake of all kinds. It may
surprise you to hear
that you can make cake
without butter, but you
' can delicious cake, too.
Wholesome Cottolene
takes the place of butter
in cake-making.
And you will notice
that whatever you cook
browns quickly. Your
biscuit, for instance, will
quickly get a nice crisp,
brown crust so willyour
cakes, cookies, waffles
and muffins just like
your fried potatoes.
