MCI CHAPTER
FORMED ASHLAND,
OFFICERS ELECTED
ASHLAND, Jan. 25. One of Ash
land's greatest needs is about to be
filled. It has long been the ambition
of a number of public spirited citi
zens to have a working Y. M. C. A.
And for some months a group has
T)een working along such lines. Tho
group has at last reached the point
of, electing officers and they have met
fcUh such universal cooperation from
the public in general that they feel
the time has come when all obstacles
will bo surmounted and this organiza
tion will soon be in first class work
ing order. Tho officers are O. F.
Carson, president. G. A. Briscoe, vice
president, Homer Billings, recording
secretary, and R. L. Burdic, Jr., trea
surer. Negotiations are under way
for a first class secretary or leader
who will have charge of tho boys
will be mainly with the junior boys,
vranglng in age from 12 to 14 years.
As soon as possible a hall will bo pro
perly fitted up for tho meetings.
The Elks' Ladies' club held its semi
monthly meeting at tho club rooms
on Thursday afternoon. There were
eight tables and one five hundred
table, Mrs. George LooHely won tho
high score at five hundred and Mrs.
Louis Dodge the bridge score. At the
close of the mooting delicious fruit
salad, coffee, and wafers wero served
by the hostesses, Mrs. J. H. McGee
and Mrs. Amoa Nininger. An infor
mal discussion was held relative to a
leap year dance which the entertain
ment committee has requested tho
ladies to sponsor. It was not fully de
cided Just what the ladies will do, but
quite likely they will take hold of
the affair and use the proceeds for
some improvements which they wish
In the club room.
;. O. H. Johnson, prominent Jeweler
of Ashland is the proud possessor of a
fine new sixteen foot boat and a
Johnson motor for running the same.
Mr. Johnson and his son-in-law,r R. L.
Burdtc, Jr., secured a lot at the popu
lar resort, Lake of the Woods,, late
last summer. At that time it was too
late to put up a cottage but they ex
pect to build this year as soon as the
season opens, which is usually about
the middle of June. Motor boats are
getting so thick at this lake that it
will probably be necessary to hav
traffic laws the coming season.
It was rumored Yesterday that 8. A.
Peters, Jr., would run for county'
clerk. . This rumor has been most
emphatically denied by 'Mr. Peters,
who, in an interview yesterday, re
ported that he had no Idea for run
ning for county cleric whatsoever. J
. One of tho additions to the huJiooIs
for the next semester, whii;h will start
next Monday, is an opportunity room
for grade students. This opportunity
room is one which has been long de
sired by school authorities but it has
not been possible to have one until
this year. Pupils who have not been
well, who are menially deficient or
students who are ahead of the class
In which they rightfully belong will be
put in this class. The teacher for the
room has been specially trained for
opportunity work. This room is quite
a fine thing for the schools, as it en
ables them to tako caro of students
who would otherwiso be compelled to
repeat their work, which Is a great
expense not only to tho school but)
also to the county. Every child in the
room will be Individually taught what ,
ever subject they are behind in and I
and when they are brought up to the!
class in which they belong they will (
be put into it. As this Is a great asset j
to the city, Ashland is very fortunate (
in being able to auu such a icature to
her schools.
