BONDS TO HOME PEOPLE.

The city of st. Paul has tried a
new line of municipal business
which promises to be most beneficial
to the people who live in cities.
About year and half ago st. Paul
decided to sell municipal bonds over
the city's own bargain counter. In
stead of issuing bonds in denomina-
tions of a thousand dollars, the city
issued bonds in amounts of ten dol
lars and up. The city is now running
a sort Of clearing house for this busi-
ness, or a city bank The small in
vestor is permitted to deposit his
money and take bond for the
amount. II at any time he is pressed
for cash, he goes to this bank" and
sells his bond back to the city. 1t is
understood that million and half
dollars have been invested in this
way by the people Of st. Paul, and
that the great bulk OF this has come
from people who have very little
money and must Of necessity secure
investments in samll amounts. We
have never been able to understand,
ourselves, why cities should sell their
bonds to the big bond houses instead
OF selling them direct to the investor.
or course such scheme would not
work IL the bonds were issued in
large denominations but the city of
st. Paul seems to have hit on a splen-
did scheme. st. Paul doesn't have to
ask any financier the state of the
money market before she issues
bonds. Had Ashland been as wise
last June as she is now, our bonds
would have been issued in small de-
nominations so our own people could
purchase them. The Tidings editor
is largely at fault in this.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY.

A 100000 beet sugar factory for
the valley is worth going after, es-
pecially when it only requires farm
ers to raise SIS per acre crop to
secure it, and much of that on other
wise waste lands.
Few opportunities will ever be pre-
sented wherein community can Sc
cure 100000 factory that will en-
ploy $50 men, feed hundreds of head
of beef cattle and offer cash market
for extensive and profitable farm
produces without having to put up a
cent of cash bonus. Everybody
should be working for the beet sugar
factory. Farmers should not hesi-
tate to contract to plant beets and
merchants should lose no time in ex-
planning the advantage in it to the
farmer. 1t is the Rogue River Val
ley's big chance.
1t matters not where the factory
is located. 1t should be in a central
location. 1t will be worth millions
to the valley and one section of the
valley should be as interested as an
other. 1t is too big thing to admit
of chickering's as to location.
Further, the Rogue River Valley
will not come into her own until her
pc pie broaden out enough to look
beyond their immediate neighbor-
hood. What helps any part of the
valley helps every other section.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Jan. 1s, 1911
WAR LOOMS AHEAD OF US.
Grim war confronts us.
1t is a fact!


Grim war confronts us.
And the staging is set for the gen.
tie springtime, when the daisies
bloom and the silver-throated birds
break forth in song.
And it will be battle royal.
The American Fashion League has
decreed that the shirtwaist must go.
1t is to be thing of the past,
must be seen no more.
At least such is the dictum of the
Fashion League.
But American womanhood is up in
arms and is girding for the fray.
Womanhood says NO!
The shirtwaist is dear to the femi-
nine heart-and that which appeals
to the feminine heart is right-must
be right-we men declare it to be
right, and it must prevail.
Down with the league!
Into the discard with the czars OF
fashion!
Perish the brain which would abol-
fish the shirtwaist!
For the shirtwaist is useful-it is
simple-it is genteel-it is easily
washed-AND 1T is COOL.
1t must not fall at the hands of a
ruthless horde of brainless czars OF
fashion whose gods are gold and a
mirror.
The enemy must be routed-put to
flight-exterminated.
And we herewith enlist under the
banner of womanhood and offer our
self willing sacrifice that the shirt.
waist may be saved.
And we call upon all men to come
forward and smite the enemy OF
womanhood.
Beauty is in distress-and beauty
must be saved.
Long live glorious woman!
And long live the shirtwaist.

We wish every mother could dream
this dream: "The world may spare
her, but her home cannot" There
are no children but need a mothers
care and love. They are more re-
sponsive and obedient to a tie of
blood than to tie created by law.
Does she inquire, then, how can she
economize her forces that they may
last; how she can burn less fuel, that
her little fire of life may burn bright
ly and long? My answer is, let wom-
en- try to give to things their ture i'm
portance. 1t will make no difference
in weeks or a years time how win
dows and woodwork look today; it
will make a difference whether the
children are perfectly nourished ply
sicall end trained mentally. Learn
to do the most important things first,
and If your strength ebbs, learn to
let the minor things wait. Try to get
something out of life for all you put
into it. Enjoy something today, for
tomorrow may never be yours. Peo-
pie ought to get more than an exist
ence with such help as sunshine and
song, laughter and friendship.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
WOMEN NO MORE

School boards will be prohibited
from paying female teacher less sal
ary than a male teacher for the same
work, if a bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Allen of Marion county be-
comes a law. In addition to per-
forming the same work, a female
teacher must also have had the same
length of experience according to the
provisions of the measure. The bill
was introduced because in many dis
tricts now female teachers are per-
forming the same work as male
teachers at lower salary.

AS men grow older and experience
broadens they look back with amuse-
ment to the time in their lives when
they thought they knew many things,
but did not. How cock-sure they
stood their ground on absolutely un-
tenable premises. Fortune has
thrown many of them into positions
of more or less Importance before
experience ripened them. To older
men they appear joke and to them
selves exceedingly important, always
rady to hand out wise advice by the
peck. Few such are able to keep
their heads in the old hat until it is
bumped few hard jolts.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Love Retained.

In our estimation there is no sub
ject of more interest to womankind
than that of retaining husbands
love. OF course when young cou-
pie start to make the home nest they
are surrounded with the glow of ro-
nance and sentimentalism, and life
seems all rose-tinted. But by de-
grees the stern, prosaic side of life is
shown, and for the first time
life is not all bed of roses; that
there is bitter mingled with the
sweet. Gradually they get accus-
toned to each others society. He
does not rush home as eagerly as in
the first few weeks of their married
life. One day he is much later than
usual in coming home to dinner, and
she is careless about his company.
too; so she has gone out to see a
neighbor; he has to go in the dining
room and eat dinner alone. He
means to go home quite early that
evening by way Of atonement, but un-
fortunately business detains, and it
is little later than usual ere he can
leave his office, but he hurries home
because he knows, or thinks he does.
that some one is waiting to welcome
him, but alas for human hopes.
When he reaches home, instead of
the radiant face and bewitching smile
which he expected to see, his wife has
retired; she feels so much aggrieved
that not one pleasant word does the
poor tired husband get. She means
to teach him that his society is not of
so much Importance after all, and,
well, he learns the lesson. Next
evening he stops for a chat with an
old chum, finds it very pleasant to
resume past relations and be zone of
the boys" again. And so that tiny
rift within the lutte has wrought dis
cord in the once happy home. She
wonders why he no longer courts her
society as of yore. Let us whisper
a word of advice right here. Let
your husband know by word and deed
that there are no hours SO sweet as
those spent by the fireside with him;
that you prefer his company to all
others. Make your home so bright
and attractive that he will be anxious
to spend all the time he can in the
cozy little nook, and last, but not
least, make yourself as charming as
possible. You need not think he does
not care how you look. Oh, yes, he
does, and you should curl your bangs
or crimp your hair as prettily and
dress as becomingly as when you
were a girl and dressed to meet your
lover.

PROHIBITION IN
COMMITTEES HANDS

After being read the second time,
the bill prepared by the committee of
one hundred to put the statewide
prohibition amendment into effect
was referred to the committee on al
coholic traffic Thursday. 1t was the
first measure to be introduced in the
house, and its assignment to a COM
mittee insures an early consideration
of it by the house, it is believed.

Merchants who keep the public
most closely informed about their
store news reap the largest business.
Publicity is essential to commercial
success. In some form or other every
business that brought rich returns
for the proprietor was extensively
and persistently advertised. The his
tory of business successes shows it.

The home on the farm without a
tree, or bush, or flower, is like a
man without soul. The house is
there, but much of the enjoyment of
country life is lacking. Every farm
er in the state Of Oregon should be
interested in landscape gardening.
There is no better indication of pros
perity.

Republican ranks, despite all the talk
Of harmony and party regularity.
The Deneen-West crowd is closer to
Sullivan than to Thompson, and Re
publican leaders with state ambitions
are stringing their wires for the state
election next year on the assumption
that a Republican governor will be
elected. Some of them will fear the
strength of Thompson in state poll
tics if he is elected mayor Of Chicago.
And undoubtedly there are Repub-
ican leaders who would feel entirely
comfortable if Thompson were de-
feated for mayor and out of the way
next year. Among these may be the
publishers of Republican papers in
Chicago who would prefer RepUb-
lican governor they can handle and
who feel their advertising interests
would be safer in SUlliVan's hands
than in ThOmpsOn's.
Before the primaries the UndercUr-
rent was for Sweitzer and Thompson,
and both were nominated. Now the
undercUrrent appears to be with
Thompson, despite the big start
Sweitzer has in the Democratic ma
jority in Chicago. This undercuTrent
isn't controlled by the newspapers.
1t is the sentiment of the people
themselves. Events may transpire
that will change it, for you never can
tell what will happen in politics.
Either of the candidates may make
a break that will break him.
It's always a good plan for indie
pendent voters to not commit them
selves too early in the campaign.
They might want to change their
minds. Better first be sure what all
candidates stand for, and then vote
as you please.

Mr.. Edw. Freeman upon his broad

suits his religion when in a fit of

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up Of a
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intesti-
nal troubles. The remedy, which is
said to have originated in France,
where it has been used for years by
the peasantry, was introduced into
this country by George H. Mayr, a
leading Chicago druggist, who cured:
himself of severe stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles by it's use. Those
who have used it say the first dose is
sufficient OF convince any one of its.
remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-four hours the sufferer feels
like new person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy, is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the posi-.
tove understanding that your money
will be refunded without question or
bubble If ONE bottle fails to give you
absolute atisfaction.-Adv. =
