De Molay order in Ashland under aus
pices of the several Masonic bodies
wub diBcussed from tbo commandery
viewpoint, and a committee consisting
of O. F. Carson and Victor Mills, of
Ashland, and Glen Fabrick of Medford
were appointed to report upon the
project at the next stated conclave,
April 18. - j
An American Legion baseball team
Is planned for the Beason, meetings
already being held to perfect such an
athletic organization.
A local church denomination Is
fretting and fuming over the ignoble
fate which befell a lot of decorations
devised for Easter Day. A good share
of these were artificial replicas ot
shrubbery, buda and blossoms, and
were non-perishable, capable of being
used on various occasions. A careless
caretaker,' presupposing that these
ornamentations had l outlived their
usefulness with the close ot the Eas
ter anniversary, removed the whole
job lot ot the collection and summarily
consigned thorn to the dump, with the
result that the entire stock is beyond
hope of redemption even at a rum
mage or salvage sale.
' Sunday School Missionary Amos, ot
the Southern Oregon presbytery, was
a visitor to this field of late, address
ing the Men's Brotherhood of . the
Presbyterian church I in connection

meeting, with banquet accompani
ments, grew so enthusiastic that the
Brotherhood were moved to contem
plate the installation of a boys' club
room in the basement of the church, a
committee being appointed to investi
gate the feasibility of the project with
power to act. -. 1 -
An auction sale of all goods that
have not been previously disposed of,
will be held on Weduosday evening,
April 11, this referring to the Civic
club's Balvage sale, which Is to begin
on Tuesday, April 10. Ex-Mayor Lam-
kin will assume the role of auctioneer,
having had extensive experience along
these lines way back In Iowa, where
the public Bale business assumes great
proportions In the early spring. In
the meantime the clubrooms are open
every afternoon this week, receiving
and arranging goods for the bargains
which will be available on the dates
specified. Superintendents of depart
ments Include Mrs. Fuller, plants;
Mrs. Lamkin, cakes; Mrs. V. Mills,
candy; Mrs. Channel, sandwiches;
Mrs. Jarvis, clothes; Mrs. . Carlton,
holders; Mrs. Tomllnson, miscellane
ous. From this list of managers, it
may rightly be inferred that thiB "clos
ing out sale of spring goods will do
justice to a big department store's
business. Advice is to dp your salvage
shopping early. - - '' ' vi' '.
.The alley in the rear of. business
blocks on the west side of the Plaza,
along the creek, Is assuming the
aspect of placer mining operations of
the long ago. Prospecting is being
given an Impetus due to the circum
stance that two valuable gold rings
were consigned by .accident to a waste
basket, ultimately finding a refuge in
the community , incinerating plant
used by the stores in common. As a
result, ashes are being sifted and gar
bage overhauled, in the effort to make
a lucky strike by way of recovering
the precious metal either in its orig
inal form or melted state. The alley
has a blind ending at the northern ter
minal, and the bridge over the creek
being gone at the southern exit, allows
salvage operations to be confined to
actual property owners or tenants,
shutting off outsiders from this rich
mineral field. - " ?'
The new ambulance for the Commu
nity Hospital has arrived and is being

The company, for the last two years.
had been working the ground with
the hope that it would return a profit
from tho gold received. This proved
a failure, ns their clean-up-seldom .
paid running expenses. Mr. Rosa
Dull, a nephew of one of the prin
cipal stock holders of Mason City,
Iowa, came here last fall and, to
gether with an engineer by the name
of ltoykln, they conceived the idea
that if tho rock oould be disposed of
tho plant could be made to pay. A
contract for crushed rock was se
cured from the outhern Pacific com
pany at 85c per cubic yard. A
crusher was Installed and the greater
part of last month was consumed In
getting tho plant In running shape,
correctig mistakes, nnd ' adjusting
generally. Mr. Dull Is very optimis
tic and believes tho plant will be a
good money maker, and we1 are all
hoping he is not mistaken. The com
pany had two "clean ups" In gold,
one netting approximately $160 and
the other $180. '
IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Just the moment you apply Mentho.
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe
cialiit This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eciema,
that nothing has ever been found to
lake its ploce.
Because of its germ-destroying prop,
erties, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eoema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim
ples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
merit. It quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.
