A few days ago one of our citizens
cut into a pound of butter whcih
he had purchased at a grocery whose
proprietor does not advertise, and
found therein small tin box, which
contained small piece. of paper bear
ing the following written in a neat,
feminine hand: Il am a. girl of
eighteen years, good looking, and an
excellent housekeeper. Should this
be found by some unmarried Chris
tian gentleman, will he please write
to the following address," etc. The
finder being a bachelor, decided to
unravel the affair, and succeeded,
only to destroy the romance. The

The man who runs a store account
several months, buying in small
quantities, should never go away
from the store that accommodated
him, in case he should have 500 or
$50 to spend, and then come home
with his purchases and say he can do
better at some other place than at
home. 1t is always to be presumed
that a man who is making large cash
purchases can drive a closer bargain
than one who makes small purchases
on time. We do not believe there is
a town anywhere in the state where
goods are sold on a smaller margin
than in Ashland.

of them. There is no lack of time for
pleasure and there are ways of enjoy
ment for everyone; but in the long
run the young man will find it neith-
er pleasure nor profitable to win
admiration for companionable quail
ties from the idle, the dissolute and
the vicious. There is nothing new in
all this-it is an old, old story-yet
every day young men are seen going
to the bad through the allurements
of so-called good-fellowship, and the
public teacher cannot too often or
too strongly admonish the youth of
the folly of such a course.

, WOULD USE KELP
FOR FERTILIZER

Assuming that in the near future
the present fertile farms of western
Oregon will be in urgent need of fer
tilizing materials, State Engineer
Lewis has recommended that some
action be taken to make use of the
great kelp beds along the Oregon
coast in order to save the enormous
amount of potash which is annually
going to waste. He states that it is
comparatively easy to procure sup
plies of nitrates and phosphates, but
the principal source of potash is now
closed by the war. 1t is believed the
kelp beds can be made to produce
enough potash for present and future
needs and may also open up a new
and profitable industry.

OFFICIALS MAKING OREGON
RICH.

The statement is published with a
flourish how the state OF Oregon is
to be handed the neat little sum Of
$437,5OO for trees"
The forestry officials claim to have
sold the Pelican Bay Lumber Com
pany of klamath Falls timber to the
amount of s1,25O,OOO and the share
of the state will be the above hand,
some sum,
OF course, there are a few strings
on the state getting this money, and
il will be payable over twelve years
II the timber is cut into lumber by
the sawmill people.
The Pelican Bay Lumber Company
may go broke twelve times in twelve
years, the way the lumber business
has been for some time.
This is the kind of publicity that
is sent out by the official boards, bu-
reaus and departments at public ex-
pense to exploit their jobs and make
out how much they are doing for the
people.
Whether the sawmill cuts the lum-
ber or not, whether the state gets the
money or not, the army of forestry
officials in the big cities who send II
out will keep on drawing their pay

All the rules have gone to smash
in the war. There's an old one in
the British army that you ought to
begin to look to retreat when 10 per
cent of the men are down. In ours
II is IS. In all armies II is either
10 or 10. British regiments have
stuck when 60 per cent were out.
German and French regiments have
continued charging when only a
handful were still alive or unwound-
ed. Men have never fought so brave
ly as in this war. The idea that hui
manity was getting soft was the most
ridiculous piffle that ever emanated
from a "knocker" OF the good old
human race. In the old times you
fought for a few hours and the battle
was over. II you were uncertain OF
your courage, you took a drink before
you charged. Now you fight day af-
ter day; you face the enemy in appre-
hension that any moment a shell may
bury you alive or eviscerate you.
Hand grenades are tossed back and
forth like bouquets. It's a war OF
nerves. and in this age of nerves the
highly civilized and organized man is
standing what would utterly demoral-
ize a avage.-Frederick Palmer in
Golfers.

SEEING AMERICA.

The inVitation to Americans from
the Touring Club of France to visit
that country freely this summer
thought the war persists is not only
a courteous assurance of a welcome
in that fair land, but a reminder to
us of some things about our own
land. AS matter of fact, unless the
war should come to a sudden end,
there will be few Americans visiting
France this summer. Many, very
many, who habitually spend the sum-
mers abroad will stay at home and
travel in their own country. There
is the great fair in San Francisco to
draw travellers to the Pacific coast.
Various parts of the country will be
visited and investigated as never be-
fore.
One may hope that a result of the
summer of travel at home will be a
general and needed advance in GER
tain comforts that have been more
general in France, for instance, than
in the United States. Good roads
and good country inns may we'll in
crease for the delight of motorists
The small cities the continent over
may furbish up their hotels and sci
forth amusements to beguile all kinds
of travellers. A summer of seeing
America should make seeing America
in future summers a more popular
pastime than it has been.-New York
Globe.

The late statistics indicate that the
drift to the cities is becoming slowly
accentuated. The figures furnished
by the census bureau show 73 per
cent of the population living in cities
and towns, and only 27 per cent liv
ing on the land. In 1890 the proper
tion was 60 per cent in the cities and
40 per cent on the land; in 1870, so
per cent and so per cent. These facts
assist the head of the family in think
ing out the problem of the rise in the
price of food.

WARNS GERMANY NOT TO
BE TO JUBILANT NOW

Amsterdam, June l5.-George Bern
hard, a political writer, in an article
on the American note in the Vossiche
Zeitung, a copy Of which has been re-
ceived here, declared that the Ger
mans are too jubilant over the tone
and contents Of the note.
"There is no justification for the
joyfulness" says Herr Bernhard, "be-
cause of the essential differences
has been removed by the exchange
Of notes. OF course we are pleased
that the United States is willing to
submit to England all of our commits
sions, but we have no new comnis-
sions.
america told US she would take
the initiative in preventing England
from a further misuse Of naval war
fare. This we greeted thankfully. IL
Americas representations are unsuc-
cessful she may repeat them. Wheth-
er the German submarine warfare
can be moderated depends solely on
the attitude Of England"

GERMAN COMMENT

Berlin, June 12.-The Vossische
Zeitung, alone, has published 80 far
what purports to be short summary
of the latest American note. The
newspaper comments on this COM
munication in the following terms:
"The note happily contains moth
ing of that sharpness which, accord
ing TO dispatches from London, 1t was
said to contain, nor is there even q
threat to break off diplomatic rela-
tions. On the contrary, the text
does not lack certain warmth and
an acknowledgment of the legality
to be found on the German side.
"The line of thought and the tone
Of the note do not make IL easily un-
derstandable that IL brought about
the break between President Wilson
and Mr.. Bryan. After the declara-
lions made by Mr.. Bryan, one ex-
pected n note which would increase
the danger of German-Aherican
crisis. Mr.. Bryan, who stands at the
head Of the American peace societies
and likes to hear the people call him
the "Prince of Peace" apparently
desires to appear as the rescuer Of
the nation from this danger. This Is
for the sake of internal political rea-
sons; in order to win for himself
friends among the peace advocates,
among the German-Americans, the
Irish and the Hebrews, perhaps look
ing ahead to the next presidential
election.
"As for Mr.. Wilson. he seems to
hope to play the role Of arbiter be-
tween Germany and England, and
through his great success in foreign
politics to strengthen his position at
home"

COWBOYS REUNION

Las Vefas, N. NJ, June i5.-That
$5,000.00 in prize money hung up by
the management of the New Mexico
Cowboys Reunion, which will be held
here on July 1, 2 and 3rd has at
tracted the attention of the best riders
and ropers, amateur and professional,
in the whole Southwest. Entries in
the various contests, which will fill
q three-day program, have come from
as far West as Tucson and as far
East as Kansas, while Texas, Okla
homa and Colorado also will be re-
presented. The management has con-
tracted for some Of the worst out
law horses in the West to test the

union. For the entertainment of those
who wish to "shake feet" there will
he an oldfashioned cowboys dance on
one evening during the festivities.
A ten round bout between Stanley
Yoakum and Johnny Lewis, two fast
lightweights, will be staged on the
night of July /.

any bull that ever breathed, will be
one of the features of the Reunion.

Show for five years and Is right there
with the riding goods.
Barbecue dinners will be served on
the Reunion grounds.

have been offered by the railroads
and that the National Old Trails
Highway Association has announced

II Is expected that large crowd
will attend the Reunion. The cowboys
will participate in the contests, will
number well over 100, and they will
bring 800 horses here with them.
II is estimated the number of boys
alone will reach over 1000.

OLD RESIDENT OF QUAY

Mrs. Bertha Wright, who is on trial
at Denver for having shot her hus-
band recently, was resident Of Tu-
cumcari not so long ago, visiting the
state in the hope of gaining health,
she being afflicted, II is alleged, with
tuberculosis. While at the county seat
she perfected her aim with a revolver
by shooting at prairie dogs, but she
claims not to have become expert. The
trial has developed many sensational
features, which should have remained
unsaid, but the prosecutor Is relent-
less in his desire to prove the woman
worse than the man she shot, whose
greatest offense was that Of indul-
gence in strong drink, driven to such,
the district attorney claims, by the
conduct of the woman. In order to
become free of the charge, she ad-
mits that her twelve-year-old son did
the shooting. There are so many
eliminating circumstances in the wo-
mans career, her lawyers are willing
to resort to anything in order to Sc
cure her release.--Rock Island Tri-
