Hold On, Boys.

Hold on to virtue-it is above all
price to you, in all times and places.
Hold on to your character, for it
is, and ever will be. your best wealth.
Hold on TO your hand when you are
about to strike. steal or do any i'm
proper act.
Hold on to the truth, for it will
serve you we'll and do YOU good
throughout eternity.
Hold on to your tongue when you
are just ready to swear, lie or speak
harshly or use an improper word.
Hold on to your temper when you
are angry. excited or imposed on, or
others are angry about you.
Hold on to your heart when evil
persons seek your company an invite
you to join in their games, mirth and
revelry.
Hold on to your good name at all
times. for it is much more valuable
to you than gold, high place or fash
ionable attire.

Mining Congress
Gaining Interest

The mining congress OF southern
oregon and northern California to be
held in Ashland July and 10 is al
ready assuming shape and interest is
being shown all over this mining dis
trict as well as from the outside.
The date was selected in order that
the Chautauqua program might lend
encouragement for the mining men to
bring their families for the time to
enjoy an outing.
The committee has the assistance
of the entire commercial body. Dur
ing the congress the Commercial Club
rooms will be turned over to the Wis
itors. The main assembly room will
be used for the meetings, while the
recreation room will be set aside for
exhibits of ore and minerals Of every
kind.
The committee on exhibits is max
ing an effort to secure samples OF
everything OF a mineral nature in this
country. and hopes to make it the
most complete ever shown on the
coast.
To this end A. l.. Lamb, as chair
man Of the exhibit. is devoting almost
his entire time. He is especially

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Bringing Up of Mothers.

A young person has been writing
an article on the bringing up of moth
ers. Thirty years ago mothers were
not brought up; they just grew. They
wore caps early, gave up dancing
when their children were in short
frocks and knickerbockers, and de-
veloped all sorts of incorrect ideas
about chaperons and flirtations. For
merly the young idea was trained the
way it should go. Now the old tree
is pruned and pared into shape. Girls
have assumed the responsibility of
looking after their mothers. Mothers
are kept to see to well-ordered
house, coax refractory fathers and at
tend to bores. They must. moreover,
be ornamental, look we'll at the head
of the table, dress Secomingly, keep
up with the fashions, look nice when
the girls take them out with them,
and smile encouragingly at the young
men. Nor are their morals forgot
ten. Frequently one hears a girl
say: 1t is an interesting show, but
not one I'd care to take my mother
to-"

ASHLAND THE BEAUTIFUL.

In the development of the mineral
springs project the women of Ash
land are about to realize their fond
est hopes. Ashland is going 10 be
developed along civic and aesthetic
lines. For with the watering resort
development must come the EeautjfN-
ing of the place. The general rose
planting day, the cleanup days, all
look toward making Ashland the city
beautiful. Thousands of people will
he attracted here to drink our health
giving waters, to bask amidst our
beautiful scenery and enjoy our fine
climate. Strangers they will be, and
the impressions they get of Ashland
will count for much, not only in in
ducing their friends to visit this re-
sort, but that they may become
charmed enough with Ashland to set
tie here permanently. The ladies oi
Ashland are to be congratulated on
their unceasing labors to this end
The Civic Improvement Club, the
ChautauQua Park Club, the churcf
and school clubs, each and all o.
them, and the individual women who
by planting shrubs in their own yards
and encouraging their neighbors t'
improve theirs, have done, and vii
do, more for Ashland than any othel
agency. They will make it indeed
the city beautiful.

INTERVENTION OF THE RIGHT
SORT.

THE buzzards are leaving Vera
Cruz"
Happy city! For the first time in
800 years it is actually clean.
The buzzards. MeXico's health de-
partment, are leaving Vera Cruz for
the same reason that Huerta will
soon leave Mexico City, because little
remains for them to pick.
Also. baseball is competing with
the bull ring Baseball played by
our boys in khaki, to the cheers Of
American fans.
Will its infection catch? Or will
the bull ring come into its own again
as soon as Funston is withdrawn?
Quien sabe? Who knows?
But the best news from Mexico is
yet to come.
DR.. Quiteras is going to Tampico
20 make it healthful-Quiteras, pal
OF Gorgas, is running yellow jack out
OF Cuba.
He's going there by invitation Of
the constitutionalists- invitation
OF the so-called bloody Villa and Car
rama.
It's the kind OF intervention, too.
we can all be mighty proud OF, for II
isn't done TO take life but to save it.
Not to murder MeXicans but to
serve them is the point of Wilson's
policy.
II would be a fine service for them
and for humanity.

THE NEWEST MARVEL OF THE
DEEP.

Steaming in eXultant strength
across the blue Atlantic on its first
voyage to the New World. the largest
and finest passenger craft that ever
floated, the Vaterland, from Ham
burg, is now plowing the deep.
1t is as long as from the postoffice
to the Elks Temple. Its carrying ca
pacity is as great as that of forty long
! freight trains. 1t could house an
army. 1t has the sumptuousness, the
! luxury and the conveniences of the
finest hotel.
Moreover, its builders have exhaust
ed the wit and cunning of man in
their endeavors to make it safe. 1t
is really two ships in one, so that,
should disaster befall the outer skin,
the inner would keep the great boat
afloat.
"Unsinkable, the experts say.
So they said of the Titanic.
Meanwhile. across the paths of
travel in the north Atlantic. drifting
down in glitter or fog, stretches a
great ice floe. 450 miles long, some
sea captains say.
Luckily this menace to human SAT-
ETY. is known and charted.
Fortunately the seadog on the Va
terland's quarterback is watchful and
careful. In the zone of danger there
will be no full speed ahead"
At staggering cost our mariners
have learned a lesson of caution.
Yet let's hope theren be no test
OF the great greyhound's endurance;
no mishap to pit the puny strength
of man in a death grapple with the
might OF nature. but the happiest of
l voyages to a harborage secure.

chance he took, though, wasn't half
so much of a chance as it looked. 1t
was a definite calculation, with the
odds shading just a little, an almost
immeasurable little, in his favor. And
it's just that little or superior keen
ness, quickness and courage which
distinguishes the men and women who
win honestly and fairly in life from
those who stay in the ranks or fall
behind After so much undeserved
honoring of unfair winners in other
fields, isn't it wholesome that we

over the worthy heroes of the nation.

"wHAT GOD HATH WROUGHT"

The other day, in New York, man
played a phonograph in a room be-
side the transmitter of a telephone.
The record used was that of song
ending in a jolly laugh.
Music and laughter were heard in
room in Philadelphia, 100 miles
away; aboard the steamship North
Star, distant 60 miles at sea, and
also aboard the steamship Antilles,
50 miles out. There are wires be-
tween New York and Philadelphia,
but this communication of uncorked
music, with its finale of rollicking
laughter, did not pass over any wire
There are. wires from New York
across the Atlantic, but they are faith
oms beneath the hulls of the ships
that plow the briny deep. Though
wonders nowadays happen in such
rapid succession as almost to lose the
power OF challenging our attention,
the date of this extraordinary feat
seems worthy to be remembered.
Take down your wall calendar and
put a circle around May 1S, for then
the wireless telephone of Marconi
demonstrated its success beyond pos
( sibility of doubt. In the Bible we
read how kings and prophets of an
cient Israel used to PROSTATE them
selves in fear and trembling when
from the clouds there came voice
which they took TO be the voice OF
God, This, also. was voice of God
But we of today are better acQuaint'
ed with the workings of science ant
we do not so easily fall prey tC

WHY THE RUNNER SCORED.

The man on third took a desperate
chance when he stole home.
He had to travel twice as far as
the ball and he knew that the ball
could travel eight times as fast as he
could. But he was a human being
in full control Of his powers and the
ball was only tosS-up between n
pitcher who was likely TO be surprised
and a catcher who might set ratified.
Like lightning the mind Of the run
ner had reckoned these chances and
had decided 20 take the risk. 1t
worked out beautifully. as YOU may
recall The lank pitcher, accustomed
TO tying himself into knot before
delivering the ball. came TO with a
Jerk as the runner dared the dart
for home; his muscles buckled under
the unexpected strain, he heaved
wide one which compelled the tense
faced catcher to sidestep. and the run
was scored.

due to one mans quick thinking. 4

The heart that is filled with bitter

sees nothing bright or beautiful be-
cause it's vision is clouded. Words
are good test of temper and habit
of thought. AS ITO the pure all
things are pure" so to the malicious
and ill-tempered all things are black,
unlovely and of ill-repute. Words are
also the highs of thoughts, and if the
thoughts be kind and good the words
will be kind and gentle, free from
malice and uncharitableness. There
is nothing that so refines the face and

The mining men at Yreka, klamath

given.
All persons having ore, coal, clays,
building stone or other mineral prod
ucts of value are hereby requested to
leave samples of same at II Oak
street, the Commercial Club or 343
Mountain avenue for exhibit at the

will be properly exhibited and held

ceived. Let's show what we can pro.
duce in the way of minerals and make
the 1914 mining congress a bowling

A young woman should be in heatr
what she seems to be in life. Her
words should correspond with her
heart. The smile Of her face should
be the smile of her heart. The light
of her eve should be the light of her
soul. She should abhor deception.
she should loathe intrigue, she should
have a deep disgust of duplicity. Her
life should be the outspoken language
of her mind, the eloquent poem of her
soul speaking in rhythmic beauties
the intrinsic merit of inward purity.
Purity antecedes all spiritual attain
ments and progress. 1t is the first
and fundamental virtue in a good
character, il is the letter A in the
moral alphabet, ii is the first step in
the spiritual life, it is the Alpha OF
the eternal state of soul which has no
Omega.
The terror that a mother feels lest
she may lose her baby often clings
to her through life. as it did to the
aged woman OF 81 years, who, when
they told her that her son OF so was
dying, said; "Ah. woe is me! said
we could never raise that child" To
merely raise child is not much to
boast Of; but TO send into the world
honest, true men and women, bless
ings to the community in which they
live, is indeed an honor. To do this,

pleasures due them and they will be
contented and industrious, and more
than that, they will be so much in
love with home that it will take a
strong attraction to draw them hence.
