THE CELEBRATION.

Boom, bang, crack hurrah! an
nounced that Tuesday, June 8, 1914,
was the day and hour of Ashland's
awakening. The springs bonds had
carried by majority of four to one,
recording a record-breaking vote of
1914, the largest vote ever cast on
any issue before the people OF Ash
land.
The campaign closed on Monday
night with a rousing meeting by the
opposition at the Chautauqua build
ing, where oratory flowed free and
good feeling was evident. 1t was
more a difference OF methods. Every.
body was for a forward movement
and some thought it could best bC
accomplished by building pickel fac
tories and canning plants than by at
/ tempting to make Ashland a watering
resort. But such were in the minor
ity, as the election proved in thu
| ratio OF four to one.
But Tuesday night, after the vot'
was announced, every difference wa
swallowed up in joy. The bond boost
ers and those opposed freely mingle
in good cheer and all doomed an
yelled for a greater Ashland.
There will be no bitter animositie
between our citizens. All semblanC
, of such was buried beneath firecracl
) er embers and confetti. And frol

5 thousand united citizens assistin
e each other in the grand labor (
making Ashland the foremost waite
ing place on this continent.

INEXPENSIVE VACATIONS.

What are your plans for the sum-
mer? Are you figuring on going
away to a summer resort or boarding
at some farm house in the country?
If you've never done this and can
afford 1t, why, go to it. 1t will be
change; and change is what we
all need.
But It isn't necessary to go to all
that bother and expense in order to
have change. There are lots of
easier ways.
For instance, painter in Atchi-
son, Kan, last year had complete
change OF his ordinary living ar
rangements without missing day at
his work; and he and his wife were
as we'll rested and had as much fun
as IL they'd been millionaires with a
yacht or a tour OF foreign country.
He owned a horse and a spring
wagon. At slight cost he rugged up a
kit containing small shelter tent,
some cooking tools and storage room
for raw foods. Near sunset, when
work was over, his wife drove up,
he climbed into the wagon, they went
to store for few supplies and then
into the country.
Coming to an attractive spot near
spring or stream, they stopped
tethered the horse, put up the tent
made a fire, cooked supper, sat fol
an hour or two around the camp fire
! like gypsies and then turned in t
: delicious, unbroken sleep.
Up at daybreak, breakfast was lik'
picnic spread, and the ride bacl
3 to town a lung-filler.
3 Next evening they went somewher
: else. Thus they had a new expert
}. ence every day.
I Almost any plan which depart
t from routine makes useful vaca
g ton.

CITY VS.. COUNTRY.

The person who catches and keeps
more fish than he can use is called
a fish hog.
What are we to call the spring
time joy-rider who tears off more
wild blossoms than she needs; who
loots the country roadsides, the for
ests and unguarded flower beds like
the allied soldiers looted Pekin-just
because the looting was good?
To be sure, it isn't done malicious
ly.
It's done in about the same spirit
in which the average city person
rushes into a farmers orchard or
potato patch or garden when out
hunting or camping and takes an
armful, because it's handy.
The farmer, by the way, is eX-
pected to stand for that kind of thing
as a token of his hospitality.
But if the farmer should walk into
the city persons jewelry shop and
proceed to pocket diamonds, wouldn't
there be roar?
The trouble with the city person
in the country is that he, or more
| often she, is liable to be a good deal
more of a reuben" than the coun'
tryman in town.
Most of our town comedians, or
the stage and in the funny columns
have turned the hose of their humol
rather too much upon supposed rura
eccentricities and have failed to make
as conspicuous as justice requires thu
equally ludicrous misfits of city folk
when in the country.
Watch the autos that pass you
door this evening and see how man,
are filled with country spoils, seize'
= without thank you"
Then guess how many of their oc
cupants believe that farmers are roh
bers.

At best it is hard pull to put a
community forward in depressed
times. The only plan by which 1t
can at all be accomplished is by get
ting every able-bodied citizen hold OF
the load, each pulling forward and
none pulling back. The most encour-
aging fact of the big celebration
Tuesday night is that Ashland citizen
ship is now hold of the tongue of the
forward movement and none are pull
ing back.

We doff our hat to the Southern
Pacific Company. 1t is fortunate both
for Ashland and the railroad company
that a movement is launched in which
there is a perfect mutually between
them. They can and will help each
other. The railroad will make moneJ
hauling people into Ashland. Every
person brought in by it will contrib
ute cash to the city. That will prove
a mutually over which both intel ests
can grow enthusiastic. No doubt the
railroad realizes this as Ashland loes
and will stand solidly behind the
project.

We assume that those opposed to
the bonds were sincere in their oppo-
sition. They had a right to their
opinions and right to freely express
them. The Tidings was head on for
the springs and in its enthusiasm it
may have said some things that
would have been better not said. 1t
is altogether human to do such
things. But the Tidings will hold no
grudges. The occasion is too impor-
tant for personal chickering's The big
opportunity is here. Let every cit!-
zen work henceforth for Ashland. Ley
us stand together and make her what
God intended her to be, the best wa.
tering resort in America. 1t has been
reported to the Tidings that the mtr
at the head of the opposition tooR
their defeat with good grace, just a:
it was to be expected of big men, and
just as the supporters of the move
ment would have accepted defeat had
the majority expressed themselve:
against the project. No community
will reach the limit of its possibilities
in any line except by united and sin
cere effort The citizens of Ashlanj
are together today looking and work
ing for a greater Ashland.

THE DAwNING OF A BETTER
DAY.

The idea seems at last to be en-
tering the minds of lawmakers that
when a man is out of job because
he has never had the chance to III
himself for one, 1t is as much So
ciety's fault as his own and that
therefore, 1t is up to society to do
something.
In Massachusetts,, where iron
barred prisons of stone, grim surviv-
ais of Puritan severity, remain to
make unfortunate or bad" mer
worse, the legislature has advanced
in its thinking far enough to consider
putting the employable unemployed
to work at state expense reclaimine

Tuesday was a grand day in Ash
land, and one that will be remem-
bered by future generations. The
polls opened at and by $40 the
living stream of men and women be-
gan to file into the booths to register
their approval of the plan to make
Ashland famous and prosperous. One
OF the oldest pioneers now living, Mr..
Rockefeller, now 81 years of age
cast the first ballot for the bonds.
And followed middle-aged women
leading their aged and tottering
mothers to the polls to vote for a
greater Ashland, and in many cases
three generations of the same family
we're casting their votes simultane
ously. The Ashland spirit is righ
and old failure flies before such
company. Succeed? or course Ash
land will succeed.

have his waters analyzed, and beau
tify the grounds about the springs,
the committee will see that they are
advertised along with the publicity
for the main Ashland project. In
order to take advantage of this offer
the work must be begun at once. Mr..
Greer would be glad to meet private
springs owners during the rest of this
week and explain the plan to them.

Credit is due the men of Ashland
for the results of the springs bond
election. They did nobly. But when
it comes to real backing, the kind
that carries stalwart encouragement
the springs development committee
gives the palm to the women of Ash
land. Every hour during the prelim-
mary work the women were at the
elbow of the committee urging them
on, believing in the good motives of
the committee and the feasibility of
the plan, and assuring us of their
loyalty and support. Sometimes the
work was discouraging, but discour-
agement came not from the women
OF Ashland; they had long ago strick-
en- the words cant and fail" from
their lexicon and every word from
them was word of encouragement.

 "IR our garden and obserYatorieS we have single plants of promise to the world worth tens of thousands Of dollars each. If such plants would be stolen during our progress of experimenting the loss to the world might be incalculable. There are always people mean enough to steal any plant, so we have to eX- ercise the greatest precaution.
