For profits the evils in present

struck the blow that will free future
society from poverty, social vice and

Vining is Nearing
Finishing Stage

Expert decorators from Seattle ar
rived in Ashland Tuesday ready to
begin work on the interior of the
Vining Theatre. The Weisenborn Art
and Decorative Company have the
contract. Their speciality is interior
decorations and their special speciality
is theatres. Though the building is,
to all appearances from the outside,
far from complete, the decorators are
now at work on that portion of the
interior which has already passed
through the hands of the plasterers.
Nearly every stage of the building
of the Vining Theatre is going on at
once. In fact there has been no time
since the building began to rise but
what a large force of men was en-
gagged on the job and small gangs of
them were following closely on the
heels of each other at various phases
of the construction.
Tuesday the west wall of the build
ing was completed at noon. At the
same time the roof was going on,
lathers were working in one part of
the building, plasterers in another
and the plumbers and electricians
were also on the job. One of these
fine days Ashland people will arise
in the morning and find the theatre
incomplete and along towards even
ing they will stroll up to the front
and find somebody selling tickets.

SWainNDieS as
Result of Burns

Word has been received that Mark
Swain died Sunday, the result OF
serious burns caused from an acci-
dent while riding his motorcycle. Ac-
cording TO report, he was riding his
motorcycle, while delivering for a
Los Angeles drug company, and a
bottle of ammonia which he was car
rying fell on the engine and ignited,
the ammonia spilling over his clothes
and burning him terribly. Mark and
his mother lived in Ashland for sew
eral years, and the many friends they
gathered around them while here will
grieve for the loss of the boy. While
the family was living here the death
of Mr.. Swain occurred, from con-
sumption. The Tidings wishes to ex-
tend sincere sympathy to Mrs.
Swain.

II. A. Hinshaw. general freight
agent, and S. l.. Burkhalter, super
intendent of the Southern Pacific
lines in Oregon. were in Ashland and
spent Tuesday with Mr Greer look
ing over the mineral springs PROPOSE
tion. They had not before seen the
newly developed springs. They in
quired into our plan carefully and
pronounced it good. They expressed
lied what big thing it would be to
Ashland if the project was success
fully carried out The possibilities
are wonderful; no place is so well
equipped by nature for a resort such
as we contemplate; they had never
seen such an array of magnificent
mineral springs in so small area:
they talked of other resorts on the
Southern Pacific lines and remarked
how much greater the possibilities
were here for a big resort. They
said we must lay the foundation for
big crowds, for that is what would
come. The writer told them our peo-
pie were anxious to know just what
the Southern Pacific proposed to do
for us if the bonds were voted and
the springs brought in. They said
there are many things to do in max
ing watering resorts besides piping
in the springs. Much depends upon
the artistic settings given the springs
in our park and the artistic and at
tractive aspect of our park They
said your people must know that they
are now proposing to absolutely
change the material character OF
pended upon your fruit and agricul-
tural crops. Now you propose to
plant for a tourist crop. II takes a
different kind of culture; different
preparation of the soil for a tourist
crop than for what we have been
raising. and If we realize that and
lay our plans accordingly we will
magnificently succeed. What the
Southern Pacific does for Ashland in
this transition to watering resort
depends very much upon what Ash
land does to make the resort attrac-
tive. II the thing is forwarded on a
comprehensive plan-one that will
justify big advertising and big effort
ON the part of the railroad-we may
depend upon ii that the railroad will
put big force behind the enterpris.

Knights Templar Heard
Sermon on Temple Building

Rev. Carnahan delivered the Eas-
ter sermon to the Knights Templar
lodge OF Ashland last Sunday in the
Presbyterian church, which was con-
sidered one of the most polished ever
heard in this city In part he said,
taking as his subject Temple Build
ing" from the scripture text, Exodus
26:3O, According to the Pattern
Showed Thee in the Mount" and |
Cor 3:17, For the Temple of God
is Holy, Which Temple Ye Are"
These scripture words, though taxi
en- from widely separated pages of
the Bible-and from widely separat-
ed ages-yet have reference to one
and the same thought-temple build
ing. Typical and symbolical OF the
moral and spiritual All things
earthly, if their true meaning and
purpose be gathered, lead to the
heavenly, from the seen to the un-
seen-"for we know that if this
earthly house of our tabernacle be
dissolved, we have building with
God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens"
The world has had very many
beautiful, wonderful and magnifi-
cent temples, conceptions of mans
wonderful genius, creations of mans
skillful hands. Some of them are
standing today, moss-grown and ivy
covered, the marks of the ages upon
them; while many others have been
either ruthlessly destroyed by the
cruel and heartless invader of sa-
cred domains, or have fallen beneath
Times abrading and decaying touch.
Chivalry as an institution existed
from the reign of Charlemagne, but
the Templar order came into being
through the inspiration of the Cru
sades. They were the brave soldiers
pledged to the defense of the Chris
tian religion, to friendship-loyalty
to their sovereign, to the courteous
bearing of the true gentleman, and
the protection oC womanhood
Each of us is engaged in temple
building. Our life is our temple
building.
Our Master had his plans. Out OF
that place in the inner chamber
whittier he had withdrawn himself
he emerged 10 spread before his
workman those patterns for the COM
! pletion of that most glorious edi-
flee.
| Sir Knights. we may erect no cost
! ly mansions of brick and marble
upon some grand avenue or public
thoroughfare for human eyes to look
upon and to criticise or admire, but

Can you wonder that on this Eas-
ter day that as a traveller and build
er, as one who has seen His star in
the east, as one who has walked
among the pillars of stability and
strength. and have mounted by easy
stages the golden stairway OF learn
ing and universal knowledge. that

ter which I'll the world. by all the
battered and broken derelicts that

New City And County
Building Rises Rapidly

That the work upon the new joint
city and county building being
erected at Tenth and King streets,
Wilmington, would not have been
half as far advanced had it not
been for the ideal building weather
that has existed for the past two
or three months is the expression
Of everyone concerned with the
new building.
Already the building is begin
ming to assume definite shape on
the French street side, as the huge
granite slabs have been laid up to
the first floor of the municipal end,
giving some idea Of the appear
ance the building will present
when completed. The granite has
been erected above the windows in
the prison of the city end, and the
cell windows and the windows of
the bunk rooms have been laid in
place.
The granite slabs are being laid
by the Dickson and Turnbull Com
pany, of New York, and the granite
was furnished by the Webb Pink
Granite Company of Worcester,
Mass.
The employees Of the Masten Con-
struction Company Of New York
are busy pouring cement for the
cement floors, and several of the
floors in the city end have been
laid. The work is extending around
the main building to the county
end, and the work Of pouring ce-
ment on that end will probably be-
gin next week.
The steel structural work has
now reached it's full height, both
on the main building and the two
wings. The building itself will be
somewhat higher than the steel
frame, however, as a roof will be
placed on it and a tower will be
erected at each end. The steel
work will be entirely finished with
in three weeks.
The large coal pocket in front of
the main building on the King
street side has been completed, and
during the coming week will be
covered with large concrete slab.
The pocket extends out under the
pavement and after it has been
covered the paving will be laid
temporarily until the grading is
'eady to begin.

Delaware College In The
State Educational Directory

Through the courteys OF the
State Teachers Committee much
information concerning Delaware
College, the College for Women,
and the Summer School for Teach
ers at Delaware College, has been
printed in the Educational Direct
ory of the State of Delaware for
1914-1915. Complete lists are given
of the Boards of Trustees and the
faculties of both institutions. The
standing committees of the Boards
are stated as well as the organlza-
ton of the Experiment Station
Staff. Furthermore, a complete
list of the lectures offered by the
Delaware College Extension Com
mittee, together with the names OF
the lecturers, is given. There is
also list of the county agricult-
ural agents for the three counties.
The book contains a mass OF valu-
able and complete information con-
cerning the school system OF the
State.

have met in the cage game and an
interesting game is expected.
The Newark five will feel the loss
of Bowen and R. Ritz, who gradu'
ated last June, although w. Ritz
and Chillas will fill their places
very nicely, but they will never find
guard who will fill the place of
Miller, whose death last summer is
responsible for the loss of one of
the best guards that ever repre-
sented High School team.
Greene and Ferguson, both stars
of last years championship five,
are the only two veterans to return
to school. Ferguson is serving his
third year as captain of the five
and his coaching and excellent lead
ership is expected to turn out an
even better five than rhat Of 1913
IA. He is rather short for the GEN.
ter position, but his remarkable
floor work more than offsets this
disadvantage. He scored half of
his teams points last year, but
Greene was close second in points
scored. Left forward will find
Greene in his same old position and
better man for this position could
not be desired. He is sure shot
and an excellent floor man, and it
requires remarkable guard to
keep him covered.
The other forward position will
be well taken care of by Ritz, who
distinguished himself in the game
against the Delaware Reserves last
year. He is rather light, but a
good shot and quick thinker.
The guard positions will be fill
ed by two entirely new men who
played on last years scrub and
freshmen teams. Griffin is a good
guard and covers his man through
out the entire game, while Chillas
stops everything that comes his
side Of the center. With a little
he should prove a valu-
able player, as his weight greatly
aids him in his position.
The home games will be played
in the new Armory, which will be
completed about the middle of Jan
uary. Games have been scheduled
with Elkton, Dover and Whining
ton High, Friends School, Confer
ence Academy and Delaware Col
lege Reserves, and games are pend
ing with Oxford High, Cedarcroft
Academy and dupont High School.

NEW BASKETBALL RULES
Coach McAvoy Attends Con-
vention

Coach McAvoy attended the an
nual conference of college basket,
ball coaches and officials on Novem-
Der 27, at New York City. The
conference was held in the Hotel
Astor and all the coaches of the
leading colleges Of the country as
well as many of the officials were in
attendance.
But few changes were made In
the rules and after much discussion,
the following changes were voted
upon and adopted.
The first question and the one
which caused the most discussion
was that of a player dribbling the
ball charging into the opposing
guard. Heretofore it was difficult
matter for a guard to stop man
dribbling or charging down the
floor without committing a foul.
The rule now states that a player
dribbling the ball or in possession
of the ball cannot charge into an
opposing player but must either
change his direction or make an
other play. In the event of the
player with the ball charging into
the opposing player, he shall be
charged with the foul.
Placing the ball on the floor to
draw an opponent into committing
a foul has hitherto been called a
foul on the player in possession of
the ball. Now, however, the ruling
declares the ball dead.
A player hitting the ball on the
jump, before it has reached its
maximum height is now charged
with a foul as this is considered
under the present ruling as delay
ing the game Formerly, when a
player hit the ball going up, he was
cautioned by the referee and the
ball was again tossed up.
Another new ruling states that
any Of the eight men can return
to the game after having been vol
withdrawn. This duling
is similar to the one in football.
1t was also agreed upon to have
two timekeepers, but only one
watch. This change will eliminate |
much of the squibbling caused by |
the use of separate watches.
All of the above changes were
thoroly and carefully gone over
and they will no doubt help toward .
keeping basketball as the king of
indoor sports.

A SPLENDID MEMO.
RIAL TO LINCOLN
All The Markers In Place By
Next Spring

The Lincoln highway, built
straight in the desert, through
prairie and woodland, past corn
fields and meadows. across mighty
rivers and mountain passes now
sweeps from sea to sea. 1t seems
indeed splendid type of the Union
of the sister States and Lincoln s
mighty task, in face Of which he
declared his paramount object was
to save the Union.''
Beginning with the work of Lin
coin Memorial Road Association in
June, 1910, which planned a mem
orial highway from Washington
to Gettysburg, the idea of a Lin
coin highway from New York to
San Francisco has developed little
by little, until today the markers
are in place over Is per cent Of the
way and hundreds of tourists al
ready have made the journey along
the chosen route. The markers have
a large blue letter "L' on white
ground, strip of red above and of
blue below and the word Lincoln
Highway in smaller letters. It is
expected that by the spring of 1915
all the markers will be in place
throughout the course and that
during 1915, the Panama Pacific
Exposition year, thousands of tour
lists will follow the path thus made
plain.
Thousands of dollars worth of
cement have been placed in many
OF the inland states for the build
ing of what are called the "seed-
ling miles, example and incentive
for local roadbuilders. The pro-
ject is being put through by private
enterprise. Of the total cost $40,
100000 (less than half is to be
raised by public subscription and
$5,OOO,OO already is pledged. Per-
sons are urged to become members
of the association by sending S. to
the Lincoln Highway Association,
Detriot, Michigan. This registers
them as members and supplies them
an emblem for motorcar. Maps
of the United States showing the
highway and its tributaries will be
sent to anyone on receipt of 81, ad-
dressed as above.
The highway serves more than
GO per cent of the population of the
United States and is directly avaid-
able to 81 per cent of the register
ed automobiles. 1t has been plan
ned as to shortest route from coast
to coast--save the path of the sky
pilot-and is 2OS miles shorter
than any railroad connection. The
is to be free of tolls except
perhaps, at the bridge over the Mis-
sissippi river at Clinton, Iowa.
