Suppose the war sends wheat to 81
a bushel. How many farms in a 100
raise wheat? Only twenty-three. Con,
sequently seventy-seven farmers must
pay exorbitant prices to twenty-three
farmers for one OF the principal ar.
ticles Of food. The war is not likely
to benefit the American farmer owing
to economic disturbances.

Three billion, six hundred million

Fourth Of July
At Talent

Talent will make it's initial cele-
bration of the Fourth of July this
year. The Talent progressives are
trying to make it one of the biggest
celebrations that has ever occurred
in the valley, and are sparing no
money or time to make it so. The
Talent people were fine supporters
of our celebration here two years
ago, and we should reciprocate now
and show loyalty for our sister town
The Talent people are going to
have horse races, ball games, street
parades and every sort of amuse-
ment. The celebration will be pulled
off in Weidner Park, fine place for
the event, as the shade is cool and
inviting Special trains will be run
from all directions. Two military
bands will be present to furnish mar
tial music for the day. In the even
ing there will be held big "Bowery'
dance in the park, in which there will
be great many participants.
1t seems as if we should help the
Talent people in this, their first cele-
bration of the Fourth. Let's go to
Talent.

each one had pledged The total
amount obtained represented about
$4,000. Several of the soliciting COM
mittees had done their work we'll and
reported good success. Others had
done their work partially and others

result that the city proper had not

to go some more as soon as the city
went at the matter in earnest again.
No large sums mad been accepted so
far as the plan of organization was to
base the foundation of the organiza-
tion on small pledges and finish up
with larger pledges.
That the total funds subscribed

campaign is the judgment of all fa-
miliar with the problem. 1t has
been gathered from information
gained through parties who have
conducted campaigns on various in

ed to the people of Oregon, that it
will require from $4,000 to $1,000 to-
make a fairly reasonable presenta-
tion of the issues to the people of
Oregon.
This was based upon campaigns
previous to the addition of women
voters, and the Normal School Asso-
citation feel that the above amount
must be pledged in order that re-
suits be obtained. The matter of go-
ing out after the pledges is soon to-
be faced and it was the belief OF
those present Monday evening that
the work should be started soon.
The Alumni Association of the
Southern Oregon State Normal
School will hold their annual meet
ing Friday evening and the report of
, the officers will show large amount
of good work accomplished during
the year and they will attack the
work in front of them for the COM
ing finish. The alumni membership
is quite completely listed now and
the percentage that have made good
and have become Influential and
capable people in various sections OF

Even the most pessimistic concede
that the alumni are capable of be-
coming a powerful aid in any we'll

Lawn Contest
Open to All

There is one thing that we can do
now and get real returns from,
thanks to the progressiveness of the
Civic Improvement Club. We can
each enter our lawns and gardens
for the lawn and garden contest
which closes June 25. Everyone has
an equal chance. Even if your lawn
or garden is in weeds at present, it
will help you all the more to get the
prizes offered, because of the vast
difference you can make in it before
next fall, when they will be awarded.
ENTER NOW! Phone your names
to Mrs. c. B. Lamkin or F. E. Wat
son. Your chance is drawing to a
close.
Do what each one can now. Care
for the lawns. beautify your places,
keep the streets clean, the parkways
moved, paint your houses, do all
that is in your power to make the
city an exemplar of neatness and
well-kept beauty. Let's not go on the
scheme of Don't do today what you
can do tomorrow"

Editor of the Tidings: Owing to
number of inquiries as to the cleo
tion next Tuesday, June %, perhaps
the following brief statement may
not be inappropriate at this time:
On June the auxiliary water
bonds were voted. OF each 100 votes,
20 were against the bonds, 80 for
them-a majority of 60 out of each
100 cast. The decision was too pro-
nounced to leave any doubt as to
what Ashland wants, being that her
splendid mineral water and resort
resources should be developed.
But how, and by whom?
If no instructions are given or plan
determined upon by vote of the peo-
pie, then the proceeds of the $175.-
900 win be under the administration
and control of the city council, as is
other city money when not turned
over to a board or commission.
To give the voters of Ashland op-
portunity to create a commission if
they so desire, and with unusual
safeguards provided for the handling
of the said bond issue proceeds, a
charter amendment is placed before
the people, providing for three COM
missioners, and naming the three
gentlemen who so successfully have
developed the entire proposition up
to date.
If voter wants the water bonds
money and the development of the
springs handled by the commission
the vote should be Yes" next Tues
day. If voter is not in favor of
the commission, preferring to have
the city council do the work and han
die the funds without any restric-
tions, the vote should be mo"

Possibilities of
Scenic Drive

The possibilities or the newly pro-
posed scenic drive are many. In a
recent issue of the Tidings we ex-
planned the proposed scenic drive
around Roper's Bunion, running
along Fork street. A new develop
ment is taking place among many of
the property owners of Mob Hill. A
great many years ago there was built
the Ashland piIning ditch, starting
from Ashland creek above Prader's
place and circling around the hill.
This ditch was used for many years
to supply the mine with water and
power For the past few years, how
ever, it has been unused and has
been lying idle.
The ditch comes in at Ashland
creek near the same place the pro-
posed Roper's Bunion road joins in
The plan can be easily foreseen. The
old ditch line makes one of the finest
grades imaginable and Fork street
(Bunion Drive) can be circled around
Mob Hill, the old ditch making the
construction of road easy. The
property owners would doubtless be
glad to donate their property along

Eventually the road could be ex-
tended with the same fine grade clear
to Talent, and be one of the finest
drives in the west for beauty.
