Keeping Ii in the Family.

Talk about luck in having office
boys" said a well-known business
man. 81 have hit it great. Back in
1887 ! took on my first boy and he
was all that could be desired. After
he had been with me for over three
years and began to get nearly as tall
as | was, he decided that he should
learn trade. Before he left he told
me he had younger brother, who
would like to take up the job. IF
he does as well as you did, he will
do all right / said.
The second brother came, and
after four years service he decided
on a trade. But before he left he
brought his younger brother, who
took up the work. He proved as
good as the first two, and, when he
grew too large for a $3.50 a week
job, he left and passed it along to the
next in the family. Well, the fourth
brother went to a trade and two
more after him ! began to think
that it was going to be perpetual.
Then | learned something. The boys
were all used up. There were no
more to come.
While | was wondering where to
get another good boy, he spoke for
his nephew. Who is your nephew?
| said. Johns boy said he. 1t was
then the son of the first boy that |
had started in 25 years before, and
he had grown up to the same age as
his five uncles and his father when
they began. Send him along, |
said. He has been with me for sew
eral months and is as good as any of
his uncles. From last reports / ,un-
derstand | am good for a supply of
good boys for the next % years. -

ASHLAND WTNS26 TO l2FOR new LITERATURE
Commercial Club Makes Arrange
ments With S. p. Publicity
Bureau.

Mr.. Fred Lockley of Portland, rep
resentatiye of the Sunset Magazine,
is in the city for the purpose of max
ing arrangements with the CONNER
cial Club looking toward the publica-
ton of more literature respecting
this particular locality. Whatever is
done along this line will be some
what different than heretofore. 1t is
proposed to exploit Ashland to the
fullest extent along climatic and
scenic lines, its desirableness as an
ideal home and resort center both
as regards health and pleasure, it's
educational advantages, ets., not for
getting, however, other opportunities
in the way of ranching and fruit-rais-
ing, which still continue to be the
prime factors. Dry farming methods
will come in for its due share of de-
scription, and the various industries
already centered here will be given a
liberal recognition, in addition to
which incentives will be offered for
the establishment of others.
Mr.. Lockley has had abundant ex-
perience along these lines, and his
written opinions are always enthusi-
astic, yet coming within conservative
limits. 1t is the purpose to make
this new literature a compendium of
information as to conditions which
actually exist here, and the opportun-
tiles offered to the person of moder-
ate means in addition to the man of
independent circumstances who is
seeking a home in the midst of a de-
lightful environment. Furthermore.
Mr.. Lockley wields a ready and
trenchant pen, and will supplement
this major literature with minor
features of general nature respect
ing conditions hereabouts as he notes
them from. personal observation
For instance, the article on dry farm
ing in a recent issue of the Record,
as copied from the Portland Jour-
nal, was written by him, and it is his
further purpose to note, from time
to time, the progress of events here
abouts and give them the widest lati-
tude, not of notoriety, but substan-
tial exploitation in manner that will
aid in good measure to Ashland's
greater development.

Local High School Defeats Medford
Saturday in Very Interesting
Football Game.

Ready. Ashland? Ready, Med
ford? A pause-the ball sails high
in the air, and the game which
wrecked Medford's hopes of victory
was on. Four touchdowns and two
goals we're Ashland's portion, while
Medford scored two touchdowns,
making the score 26 to 12 Ash
lands team was clearly the better.
but the large score on each side was
due to the sloping field and the high
wind, which gave the team having
the south goal an immense advan-
tage. As each team had these ia
voring conditions half the time the
game was fair, but not so good as
it would otherwise have been.
Ashland did all her scoring in the
first and last quarters, while Med
ford scored a touchdown each in the
third and fourth quarters. After re-
ceiving Medford's kickoff Ashland
started down the field with a rush,
Ashcraft and Phillips tearing off 10
and II yards at a down. In a few
plays Ashland was down on the rival
goal line but was sent back and
started the march again. On back
ward pass, Ashcraft to Moody, the
latter went over for touchdown.
No goal. The next touchdown came
on a forward pass from Phillips to
Moody, across the goal line.
In the second and third quarters
Medford came back strongly and
were continually threatening the
Ashland goal. The local boys, how
ever, in spite of the hill were dan
gerous in these quarters. Medford
scored twice, missing goal each time.
There was nothing to it but Ash
land in the fourth quarter, two touch
downs and two goals making the
final score 26 to 10.
The game was hard fought
throughout and was not as one
sided as the score would indicate.
Medford's team was not at all weak.
Beveridge being especially good in
returning punts. Wilson, at fullback,
also put up a good game. For Ash
land it is hard to pick out the stars.
| Plymate, although missing a few
tackles, more than made good at the
end. Dews broke through his guard
repeatedly, and Garrett played his
usual solid game at guard. Phillips
shone especially in the backfield with
Ashcraft dividing honors. Brick
Moody entered the hall of fame by
7O-yard punt. There was nothing
weak about the line on this game. o.
Coach Butterfield deserves much
credit for putting out such a we'll
balanced team. Every play went off
like clockwork and the boys showed
remarkable physical condition.
A fair-sized crowd viewed the con-
test. The students were out in force.
and the air was filled with hideous
noises and yelling.

and the way in which he kept things
