The John Deere and Dain hay ma

loader is greatly improved this year
and far better than before. In the line

Eugene Visitors
Here This Week

Seven young men and two young
women from the Y. M. and Y. w. G
AS of the University of Oregon will
spend this week in Ashland as the
guests of the young people of the
town. They are coming here to do
us good and 1t is going to be our loss
If we do not give them a very cor
dial reception and an earnest hear
ing
These people will arrive in Ashland
Monday evening, but their first pub
lie appearance will be at the armory
Tuesday evening, where the basket
ball team of the party will meet the
armory team in basketball. Playing
basketball is their method of paying
expenses in this extension trip, and
all who are interested in their work,
or if you just want to see a good
game of ball, come to the armory
Tuesday evening. And after the
game the City Union will tender a
reception to the visitors. This will
be of an informal nature. Light re-
freshments will be served, and an
opportunity given to meet and talk
with the guests of the evening.
Wednesday evening at 1880, at the
Presbyterian church, there will be a
union devotional rally, to which all
young people and others from the
west side of town are invited. There
will be some extra music at this meet
ing and each one of the visitors has
a message to bring us. 1t is going
to be worth your while to be at this
Three of the teams are
student volunteers for missionary
work, and all are enthusiastic work
ers.
On Thursday night at 1880 in the
Baptist church there will be another
union rally similar to the one out
lined above, for the people on the
east side OF town. After the rally
we will all go out to the high school
building, where the Y. NJ. C. A. boys
will play the high school team. Come
out and see the high school team put
one over on the visitors. This is
their habit, but they will have to
work for it Thursday night.
These games and rallies should
have the support Of all the young
people and church people in Ashland.
The cause is worth and we need the
help and enthusiasm which our visit
ors will bring US.

A SERMON ON BUsYBODIES

I like to see a man attend to
his own business he's got any.
And when he gets that done, [
like to see him sit down and rest
or go fishing. But now and
then we find some Smart Eleck
who is so burned Industrious that
he has to go around and meddle
in the affairs of his neighbors.
One such busybody in a neighbor
hood can cause more trouble than
forty peace-makers can settle.
The busybody thinks he is so
much smarter than anybody else
that nothing can be done right un-
less he bosses the job. He don t
stop to consider that the world
got along several thousand years
before he was born, and that it
will never slip a cog nor pay any
attention when he dies.
There is no man so big nor so
important that his death will
cause even a ripple on the sea Of
human activities. All Of the So
called "big men" of the world
might die this very minute, and
they would never be missed ex-
cept by their own families and
personal friends. Other men
would step right in and take
their places and the world would
go on just the same.
Knowing this to be the case, it
is plum funny to see some little
old on-hoss b1sybody trying to
advise and dictate to his neigh
bors as if they didn't have sense
enough to run their own business
Any community that is worth its
salt will resent such an insult
and will treat the busybody with
the contempt which he deserves

to run mad and bite ourselves, or
the man who wants peace?

NOT TO BE SNEEZED AT

Well, I do say! When the
suckers get tired of biting at the
old bait, there is always some
thing new trotted out to tempt
the gullible greenhorns. The lat
est is some sort of witch-juice to
pump under the skin for the cure
and prevention of Hay Fever.
Hay Fever is said to be caused
by the pollen from certain plants
and weeds. The stuff flies thru
the air, people breathe it into
their goozles, and it causes irrita-
ton, sneezing, shifting, and so
forth. That's Hay Fever as I
understand it, and I don't sup
pose there is any fun in having
some of it.
But listen here! The latest
news is that the doctors have
caught old Mister Hay Fever by
the horns and rubbed his nose in
the dirt. Yes, sir, they've put
the sniffles out of commission at
one awful swipe. So they say.
But there is no law to make us
believe it. And if there was such
law, I'd break it all to thunder
faster than it could be mended.
But the doctors have at least
invented one more way to bleed
the pocket books of the suffering.
They have pounced onto the vac
cination idea which is getting 50
popular here of late, and now all
you need to do for your hay fever
is a hyper-durn-it injection Of
witch-juide made from the same
weed dust that causes the dis.
ease.
Right in line with the argu
ment that to eat a rotten egg
will keep you from smelling it
Maybe it will. And I have heare
it rumored that cutting your foo
head off will cure the toothache
too. Suppose you try it some
day while the dentist is busy.
Now listen to me, you folks
who suffer with hay fever. Dom
Iyou pay those doctors a fat fet
for squirting a few drops of rag
weed syrup into your hide. Yor
trot right out to the old field ane
eat big belly-full of rag-weeds
That ought to do just as we'll.

CIVILIZING THE OYSTER.

I see by the papers that move
ment is on foot to civilize and en-
tighten the poor benighted Oys-
ter. They are going to furnish
better opportunities for his ply
steal and mental development. It
seems that the common scrub oys-
ter is too slow and easy-going for
this fast age, and therefore
Science is going to speed him up
few notches.
The oyster, if I understand it,
is going to be taken out of his
native mud-bed where all Of his
ancestors have lived and raised
their families. He is going to be
rudely separated from all the old
home ties and the memories of
long ago. He is going to be plac-
ed in glass case, under the wick
ed eye of a cruel, calculating
scientist, and there forced by elec-
tricity to grow and expand into
full oysterhood in a few hours.
Science has it all figured out
that a healthier and more intelli-
gent race of oysters can be pro-
duced in this way. Incidentally,
it is hoped to make them cheaper
and more plentiful.
Maybe it will work, but [ have
my doubts about it. This is a ser
ious matter-this business of pull
ling up the faithful oyster out Of
his native home and transplant
ing him into the midst of our mod
ern civilization. There are 9TH
er things to consider besides the
mere commercial side of it. We
must take into account what ef-
feet the sudden change may have
on the mind and disposition of
the faithful creature with whom
we dare to take such liberties.
/ We don't know what the oys-
ter's religion is, and his form Of
worship is entirely beyond our
comprehension: It may be that
his mud-bed in the ocean cave is
best calculcated to develop his
spiritual instincts and keep his
mind occupied with proper
thoughts.
Our present-day civilization is
full Of dangerous pitfalls, and it
would be an awful calamity if we
should lead the oyster astray and
cause him to take up bad habits.
It would be a thousand times bet
ter to let him remain uncivilized
than to run the risk Of his learn
, ing to smoke cigarettes, 60 to the
movies and read the Sunday pap
{ ers. And, furthermore, I doubt
f very much whether the oyster
eI would be any happier after being
: civilized than he is at the present
He might get to worrying over
his bank account, and his win
men folks might fuss over the
3 latest fashion in oyster shells
;. Oh, there's just oodlins Of things
d in our civilized life that might
i trouble an oysters mind, and Of
course an oyster that lived uphap
. PLY and died Of a broken heart
would be rather bum eating
suggest, therefore, that this jot
s of civilizing the oyster be refer.
