Deciding Influence
In Bond Election

The last word has been said in the
campaign for the bonds.
1t is now up TO the voters to decide
as individuals as they go to the polls
to cast their ballot of silent decision.
The committee will be satisfied
with the result as they place COM
plete confidence in both the develop
ment of the springs and the farsight-
edness of Ashland people.
The development OF our mineral
waters has been discussed pro and
con for months. The people have in
vestigated for themselves and are
thoroughly informed.
Eleventh-hour campaigning has not
been the purpose of those who are
making an effort to put Ashland on
the map.
The committee feel the decision is
largely in the hands of the women.
And we believe the final decision rem
dered by the home-loving, progressive
women of Ashland will be in the
right, and final.
1t is now up to the women to show
their earnestness by casting their bal
lots early on election day.
Vote early and make the election a
real expression of the whole citizen
ship and no one can question the de-
cisicn, whether it be favorable or un-
favorable.

"Kiddies Day"
At the Vining

No one doubted last Saturday that
it was Riddles day" at the Vining
There were big kiddies and little kid
dies, young and old. The spirit of
youth fairly bubbled over everywhere.
Long before half after two they be-
ban pouring in the doors of the thea
tre, despite the inclemency of the
weather. They came on foot, in bug
| gies, in autos, any way to get there
for what child has not heard of Gin
derella?
To say that their fondest dreams
were realized puts 1t mildly. Cinder-
elias part was taken by Mabel Telia-
ferro. the charming Italian actress.
Sinderella and Prince Charming won
the hearts of everyone, the Fairy
Godmother won their hearty ap-
plause. while in the transformation
scenes they fairly quivered with ex-
element. The play ends happily and
but reflected the same happy spirit
which was throughout the theatre.
The audience were then delighted
with two vocal selections by Miss Beu-
lah Wallace, which proved her an
accomplished actress as well as pleas
ing singer.
The next reel, when Grandfather
and Grandmother Were Young"
showed the costumes of earlier days,
though the hearts of the children
sixty years ago seemed pretty much
the same as today.
The closing feature, THE Children
OF Japan" was highly entertaining
as well as instructive.
The children were allowed to talk
aloud and we're given the freedom of
the entire theatre, but excellent order
was preserved throughout the entire
program. All children OF ~ years of
age and under were guests OF the
Vining both afternoon and evening,
and many children attended both per-
formances. When Mr.. Irving Vining
announced that he would try to Sc
cure for the children special features
at least once a month the boys and
girls were Wild with enthusiasm and
gave demonstration of genuine Joy
at the prospect.
The mothers of Ashland have long
wanted days at the movies" when
special films adapted for children
would be put on the screen. as the
educational value of the pictures has
been demonstrated conclusively.
The management of the vinlng can
feel highly complimented at the
words of praise from the adults and
the great pleasure they gave the chill
dren for their initial kiddies' day.

Popular Vote
On PathOlogist

George Putnam says in the Med
ford Mail Tribune: The question of
employing a pathologist to take the
place of Professor O'Gara will be
submitted to vote of the people of
Jackson county at the November cleo
tion, if County Commissioners Joe
Smith has his way. The fruitgrowers'
committee recommended the appoint
ment of NJ. p. Henderson of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, to be employed
jointly by the county and the state
under direction of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College. The county was
asked to put up $4,000 and the state
$4,000.
THE gentlemen who are request
ing pathologist's appointment" said
Mr.. Smith, made a political issue
out of fruit inspection and the path
ologist's office at the primary cleo
ton. Now that they have placed it
in politics l cannot see why it
should not remain there and let the
people vote upon it next November
and decide the matter.
Furthermore, / do not see why we
should employ an experienced student
as an expert pathologist and educate
him at fancy salary at public ex-
pense. If the o. A. c. wants to con-
troll the field, let them put a patholo-
gist at the head of the experiment

Move to Keep Eighth
Grade in East School

A committee of ladies from the
East Side Parent-Teacher Association
waited upon the school board at a
special meeting May s and discussed
with them the advisability of keeping
the East Side eighth grade in the
East Side school. After due consider
alton the following petition, signed
by about ninety parents, was drawn
up and presented to the board OF ed
ucation at their regular meeting:
ITO the Board of Education of the
City of Ashland
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
parents and members of the East Side
Parent-Teacher Association, petition
the school board of our city to make
the necessary preparations for keep
ing our girls and boys in the East
Side school until they are prepared to
enter the high school.
1T is our opinion that the present
conditions place the children in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades of
the East Side school at a great dis
advantage and that steps should be
taken Immediately to inaugurate in
the East Side school a system that
will place them on an equal footing
with the pupils of the corresponding
grades of the West Side school,"

Side Parent-Teacher Circle 1t was
unanimously carried that there should
be two ladies on our school board and
that at the coming election on June
Is some candidate from the East Side

tive.
Mrs, f. c. Gard, who has been
identified with ladies' club work for
eight years, was one of the ladies in
strumental in manual training and
domestic science being placed in our
public schools, and as president of
the Sunshine Club has worked for the
boys and girls and perhaps under
stands their needs better than any
other woman in Ashland, has been
chosen as the candidate. Therefore
they feel no mistake in placing Mrs.
Gard on the school board for the next
term OF election.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.
(By Winifred Watson.D

(By Winifred Watson.)
Asleep, within her gray-green bower
Where manzanita grows,
The Siskiyous' Sleeping Beauty lies
In perpetual doze.
There, undisturbed. for many years,
The balsam of the pine
Has scented her soft, slumberous
breath
And made her sleep just fine"
But, fated, like all beauties rare,
To waken mans desire,
She, too, has stirred the hearts of
men
And set their brains on fire.
Prince Progress. doughty modern
knight,
Has vowed to WOO and win her
Though Silver Gray-beards croak,
Beware
OF Progress, spacious sinner"
Alarmed, these Silver Gray-beards
swear
To guard fair Ashland's S slumber,
To keep things safe and sane"-and
slow,
And take the speed fiend's number.
Prince Progress. though, is not dis
mayed,
For, in his automobile,
He keeps on coming just the same,
Nor heeds their shouts of whoa,
Bill"
With rosy Hope for his chauffeur,
His tonneau lines with money
If his honks don't wake Ashland up
think it will be funny.

This morning at 1880 Queen
Thelma, of the Kingdom of the Rose,
visited Ashland. She and her attend
ants were met at the train by repre-
sentatives of the Civic Improvement
Club, Commercial Club and other So

attendant.
They were taken up from the depot
by Ed Staples big steamer and at
the city park the Rose Queen per-
formed the ceremony of planting a
La France rose bush.
Mayor Johnson, in behalf of the
city, made speech of acceptation
of the rose, which had become fam
Gus with the honor of being planted
with queens hands.
The queen made a little address,
followed by talk by each of her
ladies in waiting. The secretary for
the queen and carnival gave a talk
about the carnival, its features,
amusements, educational value, etc.,
and urged all to attend if it were
possible.
The ladies in waiting distributed
pink roses. Mrs. G. B. Lamkin of the
Civic Improvement Club presented
the queen and her party with beau
tiful bouquet of La France roses,
while the rest of the ladies handed

LONDON, Sept. 21.-There are in
this war more naval heroes than
those who wear gold lace on the
bridge and brilliant uniforms on the
uarter-deck. Among these are the
mine sweepers, who daily take their

ships and merchant vessels may have
safe passage in the North Sea.
These mine sWeepers are naval re-

hazardous work. Their task is to re-
move from British waters the death

mine-planters. Every move they
make they place their lives in jeop-

look-outs.
Line sweeping is done in this way.

CAPT. v. C. SADLER
M|NGlES WITH THE
VOTERS OF COLUMBIA
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR
RAILROAD COMM SSIONER
PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK.
MAKING VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Veteran of the Confederate Service
Is Receiving Strong Assurances of
Support From His Old Comrades in
arms-Prospects Good.

Capt. w. G.. Sadler, independent-re-
publican candidate for railroad COM
missioner for the Middle Division of
Tennessee, was a visitor to Columbia
this morning in the interest of his
candidacy. Since he became an an
nounced candidate Capt Sadler has
made an extensive campaign of the
state and stated today that he was
very much pleased with his prospects
of election.
Capt. Sadler is a veteran of the
Confederate service, and while here
he met a number of his comrades in
arms who heartily pledged their sup
port. There is little doubt about his
leading the republican ticket in this
county as there are a number who
have stated that while they would not
vote for Hooper they expected to sup
port Capt. Sadler.
Capt. Sadler has been long identi-
fled with the press of the state, has
been prominent in fertilizer manufac.
turing circles and has taken at the
same time an active interest in poll
tics. In the Frazier-Littleton cam.
paign of ten years ago he was one
of the assistant secretaries of the
democratic state executive commit
tee doing valiant service.
1t is Capt. Sadler's intention to Wig.
orously press his campaign for rail
road commissioner, position for
which he is well qualified. He has
received good reports from all sec
lions of the state and seems to be
sanguine of election.
