Stop grumbling. Get up two hours
earlier in the morning and do some
thing out of your regular profession.
Mind your own business and with all
your might let other peoples alone.
Live within your means. Give away
or sell your dog. Go to bed early.
Talk less of your own peculiar gifts
and virtues and more of those of
your friends and neighbors. Be
cheerful. Fulfill your promises. Pay
your debts. Be yourself all you
would see in others. Be good man
and stop grumbling.

Have you Joined the Commercial
Club? Henceforward it will be dis
grace to live in Ashland and not be
an active member. Ashland cannot
build as she should unless every citi-
zen puts his shoulder to the wheel.
One pound of organized effort is
worth a ton of disorganized. The
Commercial Club is the center around
which effective organization can be
built.

Twelve hundred members Of the
Commercial Club and Ashland can
secure a fine tourist hotel, backed
by men who can and will make it the
best hostelry in southern Oregon.
Eleven hundred and ninety-nine
members and nothing doing in the
hotel line. That is the situation.
What are you going to do about it?

The greatest problem that con-
fronts our people at the present time
is that of dogs. In the language Of
our forefathers, there are dogs, moro
dogs and lots of dogs; in fact,
stranger visiting Ashland and unac-
quainted would declare without hest
tation that he had got off at an In
dian village, where there are always
ten dogs to every Indian.

Ashland needs leaders and follow
ers. 1t is the darndest town for none
to desire to lead and none to follow,
that ever happened. Every fellow
seems to want to go it alone. Broth
er, that will never do. Ashland peo-
pie must pull together. The big
thing is in sight. Let's get together
and get it.

There should be no faction in Ash
land. There should be a mutual in
terest in the prosperity of our people.
When we see indifference to the we'll
being of its citizens, we see a town
all wise men shun. Success and fail
ure are each part of life and often
those who have made the hardest
fight are vanquished in the race.

writer looks upon the action of the

supply the funds as the most signifi-
cant fact toward Ashland's future
prosperity that has been performed to
date. 1t is late, but must congratu-
late you on that Springs Edition."

BY all means keep the bright home
lights burning and open wide the
shutters. Home should not be dark
ened, narrow and exclusive place
that invites narrowness and selfish
ness in the individual. 1t should be
spot from which light and joy and
good cheer radiate.

In union there is strength is a say
ing as old as it is true. 1t doesn't
pay to be isolated and solitary. 1t is
bad for business and it is ruinous to
any healthy growth of life. Be neigh
borly. Don't sponge upon each other,
but be kindly and helpful. We can
not live upon bread alone. The
brotherhood of humanity is a noble
thought to cherish, and just as noble
to practically live.

A man without either natural or

agreeable thing in nature outside of
burdock or hedgehog, but wom-

pleasant manner is like the sight of

The American policy is getting to
be to search a man and if he has more
than five dollars on his person make
it prima facie evidence that he is a
malefactor of great wealth. The time
has come to steady down bit and
give business a chance to capture the
markets of the world. Let not our
object be to destroy big business.
Rather let us encourage it, eradicat-
ing the abuses and retaining the pow
er for world competition. That pol
icy will soon make America the COM
mercial power of the world. Big bus
mess is nation builder when proper
ly and scientifically regulated against
abuse.

Don't judge q man by his clothes.
God made one and the tailor made
the other Don't judge a man by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family Don't judge a man by his
failure in life, for many a man fails
because he stoo honest to succeed
Don't judge man by the house he
lives in, for the lizard and the rat
often inhabit the grander structure.
When a man dies they who survive
him ask what property has he left
behind; the angel who bends over
the dying man asks what good deeds
he has sent before him.

TWO INTERESTING
BASKET BALL GAMES
Company c Loses to Ellsworth
Giants by Score of SO to
26-Good Attendance.

The two basket ball games Friday
night at the armory drew the larg-
est crowd of the season and put the
Company C basket ball team halt
way out of debt. The first game OF
the evening was to have been play
ed between the Webster City high
school team and Nevada, but Neva-
da was unable to come on account
of wreck between that place and
Ames that night, so the local high
school team played the second team
of Company C with a resulting score
of 26 to IA in favor of the hign
school team.
The game between the Ellsworth
Giants and Company C's first team
was one of the finest ever played in
the armory. The contest was fast
and furious and not until the last
few minutes did the Ellsworth. team
begin to put it over the company's
team. The score resulted 33 to 26
in favor of the visitors. Enthusiasm
ran high and the audience was we'll
satisfied with the evenings games.
The next game to be played in
this city will be on Thursday after
noon, Jan. 2Sth, and will be be-
tween the Fort Dodge Y. NJ. c. A.
team and the first team of Company

A Good Suggestion.

Editors Freeman-Tribune: Web
ster City is behind the times in one
of her most important departments.
She has a school board composed
entirely of men, Wherever a town has
placed women upon the school
board, they have usually kept them
there. Often there has been hard
fight to keep. them there, but never
theless they have remained--and
served that interest we'll.
A school board composed of men
entirely is lop-sided. Men are US
ually better qualified to attend to
the financial end of conducting
school affairs, although perhaps ev-
en- that statement should be modi-
| fed with-"some men" are better
qualified. The number of men who
visit the school rooms during the
year could perhaps be counted-in
this city at least-upon the fingers
of one hand. They let their wives
do it and are glad to. The real con-
ditions of the schools, the actual
fitness of teachers, the general wei
fare of the child, never enters theil
heads until the matter is brought
before them.
The most important member Of 6
school board should be woman
And that woman should be a moth
err who is able to think and when
ever possible should have been ;
school teacher. When a woman Il
found who is a mother, woman o
sound judgment and a woman wh'
has been a creditable teacher, Their
you have the ideal member of tn
school board. A woman Of this kint
has next her heart the interest 0
every child-because she has chill
dren: she has also the interest o
the teacher next her heart-becaus
she has been teacher.
!, This woman is also informed up
on what is best and newest in de
!. partments of education, because sh
looks upon that part Of life fror
several standpoints and is hence a
adjunct not to be dispensed with i
, a balanced school board.
A woman-or women-upon tn
.oboo1 hoord ~ Wnhctar City is
thing which is coming, and shout
q woman embodying these qualitit
be found, the opportunity should t
seized at once. e. M. X.

CITY'S LODGING
QUARTERS BUSY
Men Of all Ages and Glasses Apply
Many are Out Of Employ
ment Just Now.

: Wednesday night twelve men ap-
piled for quarters in the city hall
for the night. The number runs u.s.
ually higher than this but this is
a fair average. On account of the
request from the Shaheen Brothers
of Des Moines closer watch of the
men having any dealings with the
authorities will be kept and the
missing young man located if posi-
BILE
BY reason of this, Chief Bing-
ham "called the roll" Thursday
morning, taking the names, the
place they claimed to hail from and
the ages of the nights dodgers. Six
different states were represented in
the lineup, ranging from New York
to Oregon and touching Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan in
between. The ages ranged from 10
years to So years, but with four ex-
ceptions, all were under 35 years
of age. They were typical line
up of men of the broad highway
and their names ranged from
white" to Smith. There is moth
ing at present but snow shoveling
for these men to do, even when they
are inclined to ask for work, which
is not often.
The situation for day laborers in
the city remains unchanged. Ice
men say there are fifteen applicants
for every job in the ice harvest and
that they have to turn men away
every day. Every day men and boys
may be seen picking up coal along
the tracks of the railroads and
hauling it away in carts and bags.
The winter is splendid one for
those who are fortunate in having
work, but to those who are not
the winter is hard one.
