Vindicating Cack.

We are inclined to believe that the
Tales OF the Tub" appearing in a late
issue of the Tidings should be attrib-
uted to some author other than Cack
Patterson, and herewith we desire to
submit to the public eye our reasons
for so thinking.
The tale itself deals with a highly
improbable though not impossible
phenomenon, but because of the ele-
ment OF improbability one feels in
clined to demand proofs. We have
always sincerely believed Ashland to
be inhabited by sane people, and
therefore the proof must be very
strong indeed to convince us that a
sane person would allow his bathtub
to sail along Main street, unescorted
by any attendant, for Sundays air
ing.
Now, as We all know, Cacl1 is an in
mate OF the bug house." which
means that If he had related such a
tall story he would have been able
to limp across" with the proofs of its
veracity. The fact that the Sailing
tub" could not be found "makes it
bad" for the investigating commit
tee which attempts to attribute the
fable to Cack. Should anyone under
take to dispute our theory, the only
evidence acceptable from them as
conclusive will be the production of
the bathtub and the owner, who, as
the tale goes, so luckily recovered his
property, and should this actually
come to pass, we will Immediately re-
tailate by having this same property
holder examined with the view of es-
tablishing in the minds of his fellow
citizens the conviction of his mad
ness.
AS a final and most convincing
proof that Cack is not the originator
of the fable, we wish to call attention
to the fact that he was not ION his
way to a downtown smoke shop" for
1t has not been many days since he
solemnly and faithfully pledged him
self to desert the standard of those
who indulge in the use of the weed
and to abstain from smoking forever
more. ANONYMOUS.

Every community has its certain
number of citizens who cannot see at
all into the future. They believe in
no new enterprise, They are welded
to the past and the now. Ashland
has few of such. Because last year
was bad, one they know this one
will be worse. Some OF them will
mingie in the activity and yet not
believe 1t exists. AS rule they are
ne'er-do-wells Before they get the

ageous persons. They they kick be-

PREMIUM STAMPS oUTLAwED.

The Oregon legislature passed at
least one wise measure this session in
enacting a bill placing a prohibitive
tax on the premium stamp industry.
The lower house was divided, but
the senate passed it unanimously.
Few gratis are greater or more at
tractive. Men claiming to know have
stated that but thirty per cent OF
premium stamps are ever presented
for redemption. The merchant pays
three per cent on his gross sales
the consumer ultimately pays the cost
and but thirty per cent comes back
to the community in premiums. The
trick in the game is that each stamp
company assumes to take in but one
competitor, but in fact eventually
there are about as many different
stamp companies as there are compel
itors in the town, resulting finally in
evening up the competitive benefits
with a direct loss of three per cent
to all merchants. And not infrequent-
ly all the different colored stamps are
exploited by the same men under diff
ferent names. The doctrine Of trade
at home is a good and safe one both
for the merchant and the customer.
Persons who run into strangs lands
to make their investments usually get
bit, finally returning to their own
land wiser and poorer The stamp
evil had reached such proportions
that 1t required legislative action to
protect the people from their own
folly.

you cannot find a good word for Ash
land during the coming spring and
summer keep still. Hundreds of
strangers will be in Ashland and the
number who stay will depend largely
upon the spirit shown by our own
people. Strangers have most conf
dence in communities that have conf
dence in themselves. Ashland real
estate is now the best investment that
can be made. AS a rule the prices
are not too high. Some ranch values
may be considered excessive, but city
property is not out of the way. Have

Reduce High Cost of Living.


Editor Tidings: Many an old
fence about town, once standing
strong and straight on the picket line,
guarding the lawn or garden from
depredations of the unrestrained
bossy-cow of former days, has long
since become most unsightly object
-weather-beaten and dilapidated.
Equally unsightly are the old
barns and other outbuildings-many
of them unused and unrepaired for
years.
Yet the fuel bill makes us groan,
and lack of employment causes many
sigh, while these old buildings and
fences stand offering employment for
idle hands, and means of reducing
the high cost of living If We will but
reduce them to fuel for the kitchen
range.

A IN CASH.

In North Carolina there is a deeo
interest in Orville Wright, this
brought about by the fact that in the
beginning of his career as a leader in
aeroplane construction it was Kitty
Hawk, in this State, which was select
ed as the place of the demonstration
made by him and his brother of the
practical value of the aeroplane, that
it vas a machine which could fly.
Mr.. Wright has recently sold out his
interest in aeroplanes and his patents
to a New York concern, and there is
the natural curiosity as to how much
he received, in the face of the an
nouncement that he had determined to
retire from any. actual going up in the
air in aeroplanes. Because of a suit
entered by an attorney not satisfied
with the fees received in looking after
the interests Of MI. Wright in the ne
gotiations, of transfer, the figures of
the transaction have been made public.
II appears that Orville Wright own
ed ninety-seven per cent of the com
pany's stock and that for this he re-
ceived $250,00O in cash, and a first
mortgage on the company's plant and
property of $3.50, 900, payable one-haIf
III OCCOD0r, 1S1o ,anQ OAo-naI1 a year
later, with the further agreement that
he receive $25, 900 a year as consulting
.enginess of the new company.
This half million and $4,000 a yeaS
is not pickup money. T. is the re-
ward of years of study, OF application,
and the risk of life. And one of the
Wright brothers lost his life. The
Wrlghts led the way, and they had
what was in the past an unusual ex-
perience in realizing largely on. an in
yention. In the good fortune of cash
in hand which has come to Orvilie

B~RoWBEATING WITNESSES
(Brevard News.l

To use an old hackneyed phrase, we
view with alarm" the growing ten
dency of some of our lawyers to brow
beat witnesses who happen to come
on the stand to testify, against their
clients. Just because a man tells
what he knows about a thing is no
sign that he is a william, or that he is
swearing a falsehood. And sometimes
the lawyer will, by inhuendo, or the
infection of, his voice, leave the i'm
preston on the jury that the man
should not be believed when as a
matter of fact it may be that the
word Of the witness is worth more
than the word of the lawyer. This is
a dangerous tendency, and one that
should receive the attention Of the
local bar.

ON COLD"
Essential Facts About Avoiding the
Most Common Infection.
Estate Health Bulletin.O

Estate Health Bulletin.)
We've all got bad colds at ouT
house" is the common expression.
The reason for the we've all and "at
our house" is because colds are in
fictitious. 1t is generally conceded
that colds are of bacterial origin but
We don't know enough about cold bac-
terra as yet to make a serum treat
nent for colds or enough to make a
very satisfactory vaccine to prevent
them.
We do however, certain other de-
finite facts of considerable practice
value in preventing colds. Here are
the essentials. Colds frequently re
suit where there is a deformed or dis
eased nose or tonsils or where there
r adenoids. Frequently the bacte-
ris get a better or easier hold there
than in the case of people with good
noses and threats. Living and sleep
ing in the fresh air increases ones
resistance against colds. Taking a
cold sponge bath about the neck, arm
and shoulders each morning also helps
Immensely. Constipation is very fire.
QuentEy an indirect cause of colds anu
be strenuously guarded against
Over eating, over heating. especially
dry steam or stove heat in winter,
and under exercising are potent causes
of colds.
Last of all, one should avoid close
association with other people having
colds, coughs, or grippe" or those
who cough or sneeze without holding
a handkerchief before their face. Keep
a good bunch of fresh air between
yourself and the cold victim and you
be much safer.

COLLEGE TRAINING

Pennsylvania Woman Well Paid

Her Farm Hand

A woman who had sent her farm

He tests the milk, makes a formula

Once a COW was a COW, but now a
poor COW very quickly becomes beef,
writes Girard in Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t was formerly the fashion
to give the entire herd the same guam
tity as well as the same kind OF feed,
regardless OF what was best for each
Now that's changed.
This collegc-educated farm hand has
proved that 1t pays best to own only
good COWS. The neighbors soon
caught that idea. and that neighDor.
hood has been revolutionized in the
milk business by this one person.

chickens, and she has told me that she

learning how to do II.
Ever notice the green banks along
the deep railroad cuts on the way to
Atlantic City? They were formerly
ugly clay and were washing down
upon the tracks with every rain. Then
Engineer Nichols happened along
with a remedy. He dumped good earth

large bottle Of this old.time recipe.

A well-known druggist says every.
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because 1t darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. ADV.
