The Graniteville A. c. baseball team
continue their fast work. Last evening
at Graniteville they administered
crushing defeat to the Logan Squares
of Montpelier by the score of 6 to |.
The score does not indicate the rela-
tive merits of the two teams in view
of the manner in which the hill team
demonstrated their superiority over the
lads from the capital city. Gay, the
Randolph and University OF Vermont
pitcher, was doing duty for the Logan
Squares. He received an unmerciful
pounding. "Kid" Williams, the idol of
Granitevile, was not forced to exert
himself on the hillock. Williams had
perfect control and a masterful com
mand of the game at all stages. In the
field the work of McIver was again con-
spicuous Other games will be played
between the two teams during the re-
mander of the season.

w. A. Turner'S
Fine New Home

w. A. Turner's new home on North
Main street is approaching compile
tion and will be one of the finest lit
tie homes in that part of the city,
and it is not so little either, as it
contains six rooms besides sun par
lor, two sleeping porches and laun-
dry room, besides baths, toilets, clos
cts, etc. The building is on the
Swiss chalet line of architecture, but
somewhat smaller than the one he
built last year, and to the eyes of
many on more beautiful lines. The
finish is oak and fir and of the fin
est possible. The kitchen is a mar
vel of convenience and the dining
room with its sun parlor annex is
one of the most pleasant and beauti-
full rooms in the city. They are fit
ted with built-in cupboard, bookcase
and writing desk and certainly will
be a dandy place to live. The work
has been done almost entirely by the
day, Messrs. Leonard and Borror hav-
ing it in charge. John Rigg is doing
the staining and finishing and isNdo-
ing a fine job. Mr.. Turner has also
erected commodious garage in the
rear. He sold his Michigan car to
Mr.. Caldwell in the deal in which he
disposed of his former residence and
will purchase six-cylinder machine
Mr.. Turner expects to occupy his new
home early in December, and w. w.
Caldwell, the new owner of the home
now occupied by Mr.. Turner, will
take possession of his purchase. 1t
is reported that w. w. Bagley, who
retained the corner lot on that block,
will erect beautiful residence there
the coming summer. This will make
that one Of the most attractive blocks
in the city, containing the Methodist
church and three of the finest mod
ern residences in Ashland on the
Main street front of the block.

No More Wild Oysters.

The popular idea of the source of
oysters is that they grow Wild in
creeks, estuaries, etc, and that men
go out in little boats and catch them,
bushel or two at time, somewhat
as clans are caught. The general
impression is that they grow aatur-
ally without cultivation, like black
berries or blueberries; but, like many
other popular impressions, this is err
roneous, except to very limited ex-
tent.
Not one bushel in one thousand of
mature oysters ready for market is
found growing naturally. This ap-
plies to the product of the waters of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
tieat, New York, New Jersey, and to
less degree to Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia. Instead. of growing
naturally in the majority of these
states, the artificial propagation, cul-
tivation and planting of oysters on a
large scale now produces more than
one thousand bushels of mature oys-
ters, against one bushel of mature
oysters growing wild.
Oyster farming is now product
i've industry, as completely as is grain
farming on the enormous grain fields
of the west, where tens of thousands
of acres are sown and harvested un-
der one management. Oyster farm
ing is we'll compared to grain farm
ing, except that the growing of oys-
ters is far more complicated, ex-
pensive and hazardous enterprise
than is the growing of grain.

Examinations
For Cadetships

Salem, Ore, Nov. 14.-Congress-
man w. C. Hawley has directed his
secretary here to make arrangements
for the holding of an examination at
Salem on Saturday, November 20,
1913, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the mental and physical qualifi-
cations of young men who may desire
to be appointed to the United States
military and naval academies. Mr.
Hawley will make his nominations
after considering the reports sub
mitted by a competent physician and
an instructor who will thoroughly
and carefully examine the candidates
The candidates must be actual resi-
dents of the First Congressional dis
trict in order to be eligible for ap-
pointment by Mr.. Hawley and the
competitive examination is open to
all such eligible candidates between
the ages of II and 22 years when
aspirants for appointment to the Mill
| tary Academy, and between 16 and
20 years of age if desiring appoint
ment to the Naval Academy. There
being no fund available for the pur-
pose of paying the expense of the
competitive examination, small fee
will be required of each candidate
taking the examination.
1t is suggested that all young men
desiring to take this examination
write to Ronald c. Glover, secretary
Of Congressman Hawley, Salem, Ore,
for further information.
The entrance requirements to the
academies are very strict and for this
reason a thorough examination will
be made of the candidates who enter
the competitive examination. The
candidates must be strong and we'll
balanced physically and it is suggest
ed that those living at a distance
from Salem should be assured of this
by examination by a local physician
before making the trip to Salem. To
determine their mental qualifications
the candidates will be examined on
reading and writing, spelling, punctu-
alton, grammar, geography, history,
algebra and geometry. A principal
and two alternates will be nominated
by Mr.. Hawley to take the entrance
examinations to each academy and it
is expected a score or more will COM
pete for these nominations, a num-
Der already having announced their
candidacy.

The PROBLEM OF The HOBO
Continued from Page one.)

THE only solution l can see of the
matter is to turn the Fourth street
hose house into a detention house
for hoboes. 1 would close in the
front and equip the building with a
couple of tier of hunks. Sleeping
quarters such as they were used to
could be furnished forty or fifty ho-
boes. Then / would build a stockade
on the rear of the lot and have the
wood for the city use hauled there
sled length as we used to say in
the east, and make every hobo saw
some wood the next morning.
"a building of this kind would be
valuable in another way. Every
hobo put in would be searched to see
that he had no weapons or burglar
tools on his person, and it might re-
suit in the rounding UP of men want
ed in other places. 1t would take
but a few days for news to travel
over the entire coast that Ashlanl
had such a place and that all tran
sients without money were locked up.
Men really travelling in search of
work and without funds would glad
ly do some work in pay for a nights
lodging and breakfast, while the
professional crook and inveterate
hobo would avoid the city altogether.
"Unless the police are given some
better facilities for handling the
hobo problem it is going to become a
still more serious one. With the
Panama exposition coming on there
is already setting in toward the
coast of flood of floating men in
addition to the host of crooks that
such gathering always calls, and
Ashland, being the California gate
way for the hobo as we'll as for the
tourist, must prepare for the inva-
sion.
"The expense of preparing the
place need not be considerable, nor
would the expense of maintaining it
be burdensome; but some place for
the confinement of vagrants is going
to be an absolute necessity within the
next few months"

FOREST NOTES.

To secure a merit badge in for
estry, Boy Scouts are required,
among other things, to identify 25
kinds of trees.
Canada cuts about 2 100000 cords
of pulp wood annually, about half of
which is exported for manufacture in
the United States.
1t is claimed that some of the eu-
calypts of Australia are taller than
the California redwoods, hitherto
considered the highest trees in the
world.
One of the principal by-products of
the national forests of Japan is fur
nished by mushrooms, which have
yielded in one year a revenue of a
million dollars.
The bureau of forestry of the Phil
ippine Islands will send tropical tim
bers to the U. S. forest service so that
their suitability for fine furniture
veneers may be ascertained.
Articles of clothing from wood
fiber are being made in Europe. The
material for suit costs about so
cents. Clothing made of this ma
terial, however, cannot be washed.

c. M. McAllister of the Portland
Union Stockyards was in Ashland
working up more interest in the hog
raising industry. He says $40 hog
can be matured in the Rogue River
Valley at a cost of $3.50, and that
the hog-raising business can be made
more profitable here than fruit cul-
ture.

PLAIN FACTS
Pertaining TO Health
Chiropractic pronounced ''ki-ro-prak-tik'') is
no longer the coming thing-it's here: efficient safe
and accurate as mathematics. 1t is not an expert
mcnt, but is based upon demonstrated facts 1t is
scientific method of adjusting replacing any
displacement of the skeeta frame, whether it be
osseous soft tissue into proper relation thus re-
moving all abnormal pressure from the nerves and
nerve trunks, which is the primary of all fmc
tiona abnormality (or socalled dsease), no matter
what the name may be, as it has been firmly and
thoroughly estabished-not theoretically, but posi-
lively proven to be fact-that disease is caused
from displaced vertebrae
Everyone knows that the spinal cord is delicately
enclosed in the neural canal of the verebral column
and the vertebrae often displaced by shock
spraln or poison, causing abnormal contraction of
the muscles and lgaments which bind the vertebrae
together, thus putting abnormal pressure upon the
nerves nerve trunks, shutting off the life current
or nerve stimulus which supplies vitality sensation
and motion to the entire body. Hence comes Dis
ease.
The Chiropractor scientifically adjusts these dis
placed vertebrae into proper relation, permitting
the stimulus life current to flow freely through
all parts of the body and normal function is restored
which means Health.
The spinous processes of the vertebral column
are the Chiropractor's guideposts true index as
to the position and articulation of the vertebrae
and knowing the ramifcation of the nerves he can
of MALT ty vUhn ba
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Smallpox, Asthma Female
Trouble lnfantlle Para yss what not because
to the Chiropractor there is but ONE DISEASE,
whether the affction be in the big toe stomach or
mead, as the nerve STIMULUS governs every func-
ton of the body.
The brain. spinal cord and nerves that supply
the human machine with vitality, sensation and
motion may be likened unto the dynamo and its dis
tributng system which conveys the electricity fur
nishmg heat light and power to all parts of a city,
and In case the wires conveying the current to your
house become grounded or short circuited you will
have complaint but not disease, and no matter
how much oil or power the electrician applies to the
machine your trouble remains the same but as soon
as he traces out the CAUSE and makes the proper
adjustment your trouble is at an end
1t gives pleasure to the Chropractor in that he
is the instrument in the hands of the Great Creator
TO assist nature restoring normal conditions in the
body and mind of men.
We have no apology
We are here to do good by word or deed, and
