Twenty branch offices, ware houses In 125 cities and more than 500 salesmen together with a Urge office force handle the business of this great concern.

"What Is It?" refers to a fierce looking bug deline ated on the tickets of admission to the Ashland expansion campaign banquet, which will be held under chamber of commerce auspices, at the Depot Hotel, on Wednesday evening, April 18, at 7:30 o'clock sharp. The bug mentioned Is a real entomological specimen, and does "not represent a diminutive car stripped for racing. Many are wondering what the appli cation is as sketched fully life size on the bid to the feast. Generally it is conceded that It represents a publicity bug, a sort of boosting boll-weevil, the ravages of which will be figuratively epidemic during the expansion cam paign, in behalf of which the banquet mentioned will be a harbinger. At this banquet spread the chamber of commerce Campaign will be outlined in detail to the accompaniments of brief talks and lively music. Tickets to the event will be an even dollar. Anticipating the campaign banquet, the Lithlang gathered at Masonic hall on Saturday evening, had a feed also, and Initiated several additions to the Junior boosting cian. Members pres ent state that some of the antics dis played rivalled those of the Btaid ritual employed by the American Le gion in exemplifying the secret work of the forty men and eight horse bri gade. The Llthians propose to be in readiness for any task which may be set before them, and though compara tively young in years, will not shirk any, responsibility Involving either fi nancial, industrial or social issues, be ing hardbolled when it comes to re sponding to suggestions from boosting headquarters. The Plaza confectionery furnished the banquet spread for the Lithlans, Fred Tayler of that estab lishment being a member having re ceived the booster degree at an emer gent session held by the clan some time ago under special dispensation. Alpha chapter of the Eastern Star will witness a departure from established routine at its regular ses sion, Tuesday evening, April 17, in that the work will be conferred by past officers exclusively.

Of the original Hill sis ters, notable plonors ot .his section, two were present, Mrs. Mary Dunn and Mrs. Ann Russell, Mrs. Martha Gillette having passed away sometime since. 'About a score were present, representing pioneers and tholr de scendants of several generations, and the Teunlon was very appropriately held at Kingsbury Springs, south of Ashland, the scene of the old familiar home surroundings which formerly constituted the homesteads of these pioneer settlers who came to this vicinity in the early BO's. Mrs. Mary Dunn, mother of Geo. W. Dutln and Mrs. Elizabeth Van Sant, waB the old est person present, being In her 87th year and remarkably sprightly for one ot her age, as Is also her sister, Mrs. Russell.

Mrs. 8arih Walker of this city, was a guest at this reunion as a particular friend, her arrival in southern Oregon antedating hat of the Hill family by about a year. Many will remember C. R. McCoy, father of J. W. McCoy, cashier of the First National bank, who lived here some years ago with his daughter, Miss- Bessie.

The deceased leaves six sons, all prominently identified either In a professional way or In business enetrprlses hroughout various sec tions, of the country.

Hull, campaign manager of the Andy Clump ticket, landed In tjwn today ad has opened head quarters at tho (lusher Cafe. Ho auks Tito Mail Tribune to publish tho fol lowing lotu-r: 1 An upt-n letter to the supporters of the Andy (lump ticket who are now members of 11. o Chamber of Com merce: As campaign munagor of the Andy Cump ticket, 1 wish to give you u word of advice and to assure you that I will koop you informed at nil times of the movements and designs of oijv enemies. In the first place, thoro are just nine members of tho board to he elected. Our ticket Is composed of Just nine good men, all representa tive of the highest dims of citizenship In the community, all stundlng for a principle which is "service to the public, for tint peoplu all the time, and not controlled by any special In terests, clique or class." Doesn't it look suspicious that two secret, self-constituted committees should meet and pick thirty-six names to bo voted on when there nre only nine members of tho board to bo elected' I'll tell you what's the matter. First. They expect to ""hopelessly confuse the common voter by a mul-, tipliclty of candidates. Second. They will slip around and quietly plug for the nine men they! really want on the board and double-! cross tho balance of their own thirty six candidates. "Crater Ticket, " "Justness Mens Ticket" Hull! Do they stand for any principle? Of course not. They have Just . snared thlrty-slx helpless citizens and nre going to uso their good names to Juggle and trade with for their own sinister purposes. Now, we 'have laid nil our cards on tho table we uro out in the open. we have nothing to conceal we stand for a great principle we have j a compact, well-balanced ticket com- j posed of nine good men and true, j What is tho logic of tho situation?; "VOTE 'EK STRAIGHT!" Let our watchword, password, voting sign and every other word, sign or omen be "VOTE 'EH STRAIGHT.". It does not take any intelligence to vote a split, scratched or cross-bred ballot; any damphool twenty-one years of age, of either sex, and a lead pencil enn gambol around over a ballot, making a blunder every time they make a cross, but men and women of intelligence, .patriotism and prin ciple, and who know, exactly what they want and go aftor It always "VOTE 'lilt STRAIGHT.?' Now in closing, brother members of tho Chamber of Commerce, Just cast your eagle eyes over tho hand- j picked hunch of thirty-six candidates, i It Is composed of everything from' extra fancy to culls. AVhat chancel has the common, ordinary voter of picking an extra fancy out of that bunch? He is just ns likely to get .a C grade or a cull as anything else, j The supporters of tho Andy Gump I ticket can only play safe by "VOTING KR STRAIGHT."
