A TRYING Game.

After a certain jury had been out
an inordinately long time on very
simple case, they filed into the court
room and the foreman told the judge
they were unable to agree upon a
verdict. The latter rebuked them,
saying the case was very clear one,
and remanded them back to the jury
room for a second attempt, adding:
"If you are there too long, | will
have to send you in twelve suppers. -
The foreman, in n rather irritated
tone, spoke up and said: May it
please your honor, you might send
in eleven suppers and one bundle of
hay"

Color Is Not
Bar In Schools

Salem, Ore.-School districts of
this state have no legal authority to
provide separate schools for white
and colored children, but must admit
in the same schools all children of
school age residing in the district, re-
gardless of color or race, according
to an opinion handed down by the
supreme court in proceedings for
mandamus brought by William Craw-
ford to compel the directors of school
district No. Z, Klamath county, to ad-
NIT his two halfbreed Indian children
to the schools
The decision reverses the circuit
court of Klamath county.
Crawford and his wife are half
blood Indians and have five children,
two of whom attended school two
years prior to September, 1912, when
they were excluded.

ceeding being authorized by recent
decision of the supreme court in the
Lane county case. Had the road levy
been made it, would have exempted
Ashland from even paying interest on
road bonds. Instead the court will
make an order segregating the
amount to be used for road purposes,
about three mills.
The state levy is over four mills
the county about the same as year
ago. The levy will raise about $780,

COMMITTEE OF THE CONNER
CIAL CLUB GETTING MANY.
GOOD WORK IS STILL GOING ON
Committee of Five Making Systematic
Canvass of Citizens-Appeal From
One of the Committee is Published
Herewith.

The committee of five headed by
]. B. Ware and including o. F. Car
son, F. G. McWilliams, Frank Jordan
and B. E. Whitmore is doing excel
lent work in securing new members
to the Ashland Commercial Club.
They are succeeding not only in Sc
curing a large number of new mem
bers, but what is equally as essential,
arousing renewed interest in the old
members and in giving the citizens at
large a better and more correct idea
Of what the club is doing and trying
to do. Along this line the following
communication from Frank Jordan,
one of the members Of the committee,
is timely and worthy of careful pc
rusal:
What a Commercial Club Is.
A commercial club is to a town
and surrounding community what a
hub is to a wheel. 1t is the center
Of progressive strength. The old say
ing, What is everybody's business is
Robody's business" will not apply to
n commercial club, or whatever may
be the name Of such organization in
different localities.
The commercial clubs sole object
is to promote things that will be
benefit in the building up and bet
terment of town and surrounding
community. You take a wheel ant
remove the hub and what have yo'
done? You still have the wheel; yo'
have not lessened the strength of
single spoke, but you have remove
the tie that caused one spoke to de
pend upon the other, and rendered
absolutely worthless for what it wa
intended. The same thing happens t
a town without a strong commercia
center. You would have a town jus
the same. The people would b
