April %. besides being the festival Of
England's national saint. says the PAN
Mall Gazette. is also the anniversary
Of the death Of both Shakespeare and
Ceramics But, though both Shake
speare and Cervantes died on April rs,
1916. there was actually an interval Of
ten days between the two deaths.
The explanation is that in 1916 Eng
land was still using the Julian calen-
dar, which in Roman Catholic coun.
tries had been superseded by the Gre
gorian calendar In 1882 Cervantes
died on a Saturday: Shakespeare died
on the Tuesday falling ten days later.

STUDY AMERICA IN 1915.

Not enough Americans have yet
learned to appreciate the immensity,
variety and charm of their own coun-
try. Millions of them have been
learning perforce about the geogra-
ply of Europe, Asia and Africa dur
ing the past six months. 1t would
not be amiss for them now to add the
study of America to their course in
political and physical geography.
This will not be a good year for
American travel in Europe. Only
those should think of crossing the
Atlantic who have clear and definite
reasons of responsible kind for ap-
preaching the fringes of the great
war. Travel, however, is not only
one of the greatest sources of pleas
ure, but one of the chief means of
education; and it should always be
encouraged. AS many Americans as
possible should resolve that they will
know a great deal more about their
own country at the end of the year
1915 than they knew at the begin
ming. They should take the idea seri-
ously.-From The Progress of the

LET'S MAKE ASHLAND SHINE.

The mayor of Portland has pro-
claimed February IL as cleanup
day." Good idea. Every city and
town should have a day set apart,
early in the spring, to put the place
in order. Nature will soon spread
her carpet of green and the picture
should not be marred by unsightly
rubbage, dilapidated barns and un-
painted houses. 1t is especially es-
sential that Ashland put on her best
garb this year. Like the high school
graduate, this is her first social seas
on out. This year she makes her
debut. She should be dressed In
neglige, silk stockings and slit skirt
so that her charms may be all dis
played. Ashland is a seductive little
miss, IL so garbed as to appeal to the
passion Of the pleasure seeker. Let's
doll up bit and catch fine beat
this year. Nature has given Ashland
an exquisite face and form. Lett
put the clothes on her.

PROPER PUBIdCITY.

The Commercial Club should have
a live membership of at least 1900
by the first of April. The club is the
instrument through which publicity
for the springs resort should be
handled. A publicity department
should be established and put in con-
troll of thoroughly competent pub
licity man. The future of Ashland
depends both upon the virtue of the
waters and proper publicity. How
ever valuable the waters, springs
alone will never make watering re-
sort. 1t is the men behind it, in the
final analysis, that determine the
degree OF success in any undertaking.
We have waters the equal of any in
the world from a madicinal stand
point, but how many people in the
world now know of their value? Per-
sons with no knowledge of their cur
ative powers will not be attracted
here, however beneficial the waters
might prove to their particular all
ment. They will die of their malady
without hearing of the cure. But it
is Ashland's business to see to it that
every person on earth suffering with
malady for which our waters are
curative do know of them. That the
virtue of the waters, of the environ
ment and climate are put forward in
such attractive manner as to draw
them here for the benefits to be de-
rived. Do not leave your treasures
buried in the ground. Do not hide
them under bushel. Ashland's tall
ents are of tremendous drawing pow
er If properly put before the people.
1t is the function of a publicity de-
partment of your Commercial Club
to do that. 1t takes money to do it.
1t takes membership to produce the
necessary funds. Join the CONNER
cial Club and contribute your share
to this glorious work. 1t is your
duty as it should be Your pleasure.
Every man and woman in Ashland
should join the Commercial Club this
month.

the states of the middle and far west.

AUTOMOBILE TOURISTS COMING

With the completion of the Pacific
highway from Meiford to the Cali
fornia line, the elimination OF the
Farnum hill grade and the railroad
grade crossing and the paving of the
thoroughfare from Ashland to the
foot of the Siskiyou grade, Jackson
county can boaast of absolutely the
best highway on the Pacific coast.
The engineers are to be congratulated
on the success of their work and the
county court is to be commended for
the business way in which the matter
has been handled. No doubt the leg
islature will pass the bill introduced
by Representative Vawter so that
funds will be forthcoming from the
state sufficient to pave the grade
over the mountain. There will be
something doing in automobile tour
list travel through the Rogue River
Valley the next year and 1t will be-
come heavier each succeeding year as
the reputation Of the highway goes
more abroad. The investment in the
highway is the best Jackson county
has ever made, from dollar-gettine
standpoint. Ashland and her citizens
should make the way easy for the
county court to continue the work tc
a successful conclusion, both as tC
the Farnum hill and the route from
Ashland to the foot OF the mountain
BY adopting the charter amendment
at the election on February IL the
Farnum hill controversy will be set
tied as far as the city is concerned

The Tidings desires to congratulate
the mayor and council for the effect
i've business methods followed. Splen-
did results are being secured in the
operation of both the electric light
and water systems. They are both
making money over and above ex-
pense of operation, interest and sink
ing funds on bonds and reasonable
upkeep charges and depreciation. In
few years, when the bonds will have
been retired, the income from these
plants, If properly handled, should
go long way toward paying the run
ming expense Of the town. We hope
the mineral springs project can be
organized on as solid income basis.

ASHLAND'S FAME GOING
ABROAD.

Ashland is about to come into the
glory of her own. She is fast coming
to the notice of the world. News
papers all over the country are TAX
ing stories about Ashland and her
new development, and if the services
of an experienced exploitation writer
were secured by the city-one that
would stay on the ground and know
how to prepare the kind of stories
the great newspapers will take-Ash-
land can get hundreds of thousands
OF dollars worth of advertising all
over the United States for the cost of
preparing the stories and furnishing
suitable photographs. In the last
issue of the Tidings we printed a
splendid story published in Sunset.
Now we reproduce splendid refer
ence by Earl William Gage, printed
in the Pennsylvania Grit" large
newspaper published at Williams
port, Penn. Follows the Grit" ref
erence, an excerpt from splendidly
written story headed "Transforma
