THE NEWSPAPERS FREE
SERVICE.

II board of trade is organized to
boom a town, it finds that 1t is ex-
pensive work. Secretaries must be
hired, office rent paid, supplies must
be settled for in cash. People usu-
ally make no discount because the
work is for public cause.
Meanwhile the newspaper is BOOM
ing the home town all the time, and
for the most of the services it rem
ders it asks no pay. If its motives
are not wholly unselfish, at least it
is far sighted enough to expect its
compensation in the added prosperity
that comes to all enterprises when
the town grows.
In view of all this unpaid service,
ii is fair to ask a reciprocal spirit on
the part of its home community. The
Tidings is not complaining of its sup
port, which has been generous and
friendly. 1t merely reminds its read
ers that when they pay down their
money for a subscription they not
merely get their moneys worth in the
form of news, but they are helping to
support an agency that gives unpaid
service all the time for the develop
ment of the community.

else, handy, well written-contains a
greater variety of information in
more readable and accessible form;
in fact. II reflects the efficiency Of
Secretary Olcott's office, which is
saying a great deal.
Every voter is entitled to copy
as long as the supply lasts. Write
now, so as TO be sure to get one.

Notes From Oregon
Building at Fair

An exhibit in the Oregon pavilion,
Palace OF Agriculture, that attracts
a great deal of attention is that one
showing go varieties of products
from a single farm. This showing
is made by d. NJ. Lowe of Jackson
county, who is particularly well
known to Oregon State Fair attend
ants. This exhibit is made up of
grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables,
the legumes, several varieties of
corn, flax and about everything else
namable. The average visitor is
thoroughly amazed that such a tre-
mendous variety of products can be
produced on single farm, and many
stay to discuss the situation thor
oughly. That this production is OBJ
tanned without the aid of irrigation,
that the products grow to splendid
maturity without interruption, and
that so much of the exhibits is of
top-notch stuff but increases the
wonder. A feature of the exhibit is
large case of silver cups, medals
and blue ribbons that Mr.. Lowe has
won by similar exhibits at other ex-
positions and state fairs. This is a
magnificent advertisement of south
ern Oregon and the state at large
and furnishes great opportunity for
attendants to dwell upon Oregon op-
portunity and possibility. A CON-
panion exhibit also assists very ma
terially in this effort at exploitation.
This is the splendid showing made
by F. NJ. Sherman of Linn county.
He shows what can be grown on an
unirrigated ten-acre farm and there
is an unusual variety of fine prod
ucts. However, Mr.. Sherman has
discovered that it pays to grow first
class seed of all kinds and this is his
special effort. There is always
strong demand for good seed at a
good price and he recommends this
industry to those on the small tract.
The public finds his exhibit of great
interest.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Dad-Here's to You.

We happened in home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in red yarn on a
porous plaster background, What
is Home Without Mother?" Across
the room was another brief God
Bless Our Home"
Now, what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg and
gives the lawn a close shave while
mother is still dreaming of how she
is going to trim Mrs. Gothic Stuff
at bridge that afternoon.
He rustles the weekly hand-out for
the butcher, the grocer, the milk
man, the baker, along with several
etceteras, and before he is home an
hour on pay day his weekly stipend
has shrunk to just the size of carfare
and six sittings in the broad arm
chair at the jitney dairy lunch pal
ace.
If there is strange noise in the
house at night Dad is kicked in the
back and sent downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him-or get put to
sleep by rap on the bean. Mother
darns the socks, but Dad puts up for
the socks in the first place, then the
yarn and the needles, and patiently
stands for the callouses on his feet
which the darned socks make.
Mother puts up the fruit against
Dad putting up the price of the fruit
the sugar and the jars. Dad buys
chickens for the Sunday dinner,
carves them for the family, and after
the rush draws from the ruins the
neck, or the other extremity.
What is home without moth
err" Yes, that's all right. but, What
is home without a father? Ten to
one it's a boarding house, father is
under the slab and mother is the
landladyl
Dad, here's to you! You've got
your faults-you may have lots Of
em-but you're all right, and we'll
miss you when you're gone.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

IN round numbers there were 22,-
100000 persons enrolled in educa-
tiOnal institutions in the United
States in 1914, according to the an
nual report of the commissioner OF
education Just issued. OF these
over 100000 were in elementary
schools, 1,374,000 in secondary
schools, both public and private, and
216,OO0 in colleges and universities.
Close to another hundred thousand
were in normal schools preparing to
be teachers, $1,000 were in profess
sional schools, and the remainder
were scattered through other types
OF institutions. The teachers for
this educational army numbered
100000, of whom $4,000 were in
public schools. In point of rapid
growth the public high school still
presents the most impressive figures;
the enrolment for 1914 is greater
by over $4,000 than for the year be-
fore.
The cost OF education for the year,
as estimated by the bureau, was
$3.50, 100000. This three-quarters
OF billion is a relatively small
amount when compared with other
items in the public expense" de-
clares the report. 1T is less by
$500, 900, 900 than the cost OF run
ming the federal government; 1t is
less than one-third the nations ex-
penditure for alcoholic liquors; 1t is
only little over three times the esti-
mated cost of admissions to moving
picture theatres in the United States
for the same year. Measured in
terms of products Of the soil, the
United States spent somewhat more
for education in 1914 than the value
OF its cotton crop, somewhat less
than the value of its wheat crop, and
less than half the value of the an
nual harvest Of corn; while the ma
tons bill for education was less by
nearly a hundred millions than the
value of the exports from the harbor
of New York in the calendar year
just passed"
Very little increase is yet to be
noted in the average term for public
schools. Between 1910 and 1913
the increase was from 1915 days a
year to 15S.1-a growth OF only six
tenths OF a day in three years. At
tendance has improved, however.
The average number of days attend
ed by each person enrolled increased
from 113 in 1910 to 1856 in 1918.

THE Western Ocean as Determi-
nant in Oregon History" Friday
night one of the largest formal So
cial functions of the exposition was
given in honor OF the young women
of the Oregon Agricultural College
here serving in the domestic science
demonstration kitchen and dining
room, and in honor of the college
and university young men here as
guides. The invitation list included
the highest exposition officials, Of
ficialdom at the various state build
ings, the elite of the society Of the
bay cities, and the sojourning friends
of these young people. Hundreds OF
these came to do the young people
honor and large numbers stayed to
enjoy the dancing, The domestic sci
ence women were congratulated
warmly on the success of their un-
dertaking and the expressions came
from the innermost depths, for the
Oregon buildings dining room is the
fad with the greatest of the great.
The band from the battleship Oregon
furnished music for the occasion,
and as a most distinguished honor
the Oregon's $4,000 punch bowl
and service was loaned. This splen-
did social function was the happy
thought of Commissioner John F.
Logan, who desired to show the
world Oregon's appreciation of the
young women of the state in their
successful endeavor to dignity home
service, and of the young men in
preparing practically for usefulness.
And other functions are to follow
swiftly. On the 29th fifteen hundred
gallons of loganberry juice will tell
at least fifteen thousand people of a
new nectar more glorious than that
which Jupiter sips. There will be
an all-day program. August 9 to II
will be "All Oregon Week." each
day special day and probably with
function each night. The 18th is

Ashland Cherries Unsurpassed.

hSnlanu NHerrltS thsuiP"Ss0"
Bing cherries sent from Ashland
by H H. Leavitt on July 29 were
judged June 26 and put on display
On July II they we're still lovely to
look upon and, according to Califor'
mia experts, were in condition to ship
to New York. Mr.. Phipps of Med
ford had Bings on display fifteer
days and these were equally as good
and there we're Lamberts from Lea
witt also. The Horticultural build
ing, with its heat and excess of light
offers the severest test possible fol
cherries. C. n. Ravlin, director oi
horticulture, says he believes the
Rogue River valley grows the great
est shipping cherry in the world
When a Hood River man admits that
there must be something to 1t. Mex
year all cherry sections should make
a test.

ACTION OF SINGLE SPOONFUL
SURPRISES MANY

Ashland people who bought the
simple mixture of buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., known as Ader-i-ka
are surprised at the INSTANT effect
of SINGLE SPOONFUL. This rem
edy is so complete bowel cleanser
that it is used successfully in append
icitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH up
per AMI lower bowel and ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE of constipation, sour or gassy
stomach. ONE MINUTE after you
take it the gasses rumble and pass
out. T. X. Bolton, druggist.
