Ashland, Ore, Thursday, Sept. 30, Ia
A QUESTION OF POPULARITY.

A dispatch from Washington states
that President Wilson has expressed
himself to congressman as opposed
TO any tinkering with the tariff at
the next session of congress, at least
for the purpose of raising tariff
schedules, with the possible exception
of the sugar schedule, upon which he
is awaiting the results of some inves-
legations now being made by the de-
partment of agriculture before max
ing up his mind. The president, so
the dispatch states, believes that the
money that the country may need
above its income should be raised by
the issuance of short term notes or
short term bonds, which he is dis
posed to think would be very popu-
lar throughout the country"
II the presidents sentiments are
correctly reported above, then it be-
comes more than ever assured, from
the expressions of the democratic
party's highest representative, that
democratic history is to repeat itself,
and that the present democratic ad-
ministration, like the last previous
one, will resort to the issuance of
bonds to recoup depleted treasury.
While it doubtless would be true that
the people of the country would buy
these bonds, yet we are disposed to
believe that such bonds would not
prove much more popular" now
than they were a quarter of cen
tury ago, when the nation took the
first following opportunity of rele-
eating to private life the men and the
political party responsible for calling
those bonds into being.
What the people of this country
want from a governmental admins
tration is not bond issues but proper
adjustment of national receipts and
disbursements.

MAIL ORDERS NOT ECONOMICAL.

The person who buys from distant
mail order houses, rather than pat
ronize stores near home, overlooks
certain items of'expense that he has
to pay for in buying from catalogues.
Usually an extra transportation
charge has to be paid in buying OF
the mail order house. If you buy of
your home dealer, who buys of the
manufacturer, there is but one
freight charge to pay, from the fac
tory to the store.
But if you buy of the mail order
house, the goods must be transported
to the mail order warerooms and
then shipped again from the mail
order house to you. That makes also
two extra charges for carriage to be
paid, and often for packing and un-
packing.
Furthermore, sending individual
articles a long distance is the most
costly way of shipping them. When
the home dealer buys them, he orders
a lot to come in one shipment, which
makes the transportation charges of
each article a very small item. If
you pay to have it sent individually
either by express or parcel post from
a distant place, much more must be
paid.
If the mail order price seems
cheap, it is usually because a second
grade article is being sold. 1t looks
very handsome in the catalogue cut,
which reveals no defects. But you
would not buy it in store.
If you would give the home mer-
chant a chance, he would tell you
that he could sell the same article
for as low a price, probably lower.
But he would not want to do it, be-
cause it would not give satisfaction,
and the sale of second class goods
would hurt his business reputation.
Even if articles are sent postage
or express paid, the consumer pays
these charges indirectly by getting
the poorer quality. 1t is a case of
going farther and faring worse.

HOW HADLEY LOOKS AT 1T.

President Hadley of Yale says
"The true measure of mans success
is the service which he renders, not
the pay he exacts for it. The true
meashure of a mans ability is the
power to help others and to contrib
ute to their advancement. The eff
fort to make money is an important
incentive to social service and indus
trial progress; but the amount of
wealth each man acquires is no ac-
curate indication of the service he
has rendered or the progress he has
made possible"

HOW NOT TO ADVERTISE.

A brother publisher from the state
of New York, speaking at a recent
newspaper mems convention, gave
this illustration of how not to adver-
tise.
He said that after much effort he
once received a small advertising con-
tract from a man in the repair busi-
ness. This man made specially OF
repairing lawn mowers and sharpen
ing skates, in the respective seasons
for these articles. In the summer he
would include in his space the no
tice, Lawn mowers sharpened." He
would then forget all about the ad
and let it stand unchanged until the
middle of winter when the grass had
long been snow covered. He would
finally note that this looked queer,
and would substitute Skates sharp
ened" for the lawn mowers. This
also he would forget and would leaVe
II there till July when the boys went
in swimming in the warm water and
so on. The man complained that the
public was not much interested in
his advertising. No wonder.
This incident is not so very ex-
ceptional and it illustrates how little
pains many advertisers take to inter-
est the public in their inducements.

Siskiyou Copper
To Be Opened

Siskiyou News (Yreka): c.. J. Fry
arrived in Yreka this week from the
Blue Ledge mining district, where he
is interested in some mining proper
ties. 1t has been known for some
time that the Blue Ledge, Happy
Camp, Preston Peak and adjacent
mining districts contained some of
the largest deposits of copper in the
United States. The lack of trans
portation is what has kept these
properties from being developed.
Mr. Fry says that the prospect of
the Klamath Highway through to
Eureka is having good effect on the
mining situation in the districts
above mentioned and that with the
price of copper rising and the posi-
bility of transportation facilities the
future of the copper mines of Yreka
is brighter than ever before.
The following from the Crescent
City Courier will be of interest as it
relates to the copper situation:
Cooper is quoted in Germany at
$1,000 per ton, which will cause the
copper mines of the United States to
operate for years to come, as the sup
ply in Europe is becoming less every
day. The large deposits of copper in
southern Oregon and northern Cali
fornia will be opened up. Already
men are arriving here and going on
prospecting trips throughout the
county and no doubt many more
claims will be located as the large
mineral belt has not been half pros
pected, both in Oregon and Califor-
MIA"
The fact that the money has been
appropriated for the survey of the
klamath river road and that the
to build the road will doubt
less be provided later, is very encour-
aging to those who are interested in
the copper mines and the develop
ment of Siskiyou county.

acreage for irrigation estimate the
total acreage signed up to the first

ed, much land is being signed up.
The house to house canvass is be-
ing carried on in the lower part of
the valley by representatives of the
Water Users Association and in the
Ashland and Talent districts by repre-
sentatives of these districts.

The Very Latest
In Fall Fashions

Chicago.-The Fashion Art League
staged in Chicago last week an ex-
hibition of all the styles which Paris
will send forth in few months as
Official"
In so doing, the American mo-
distes will be repeating their feat of
last spring. A week ago there came
from Paris designs for the Official
fall and winter fashion" Much to
their amusement and satisfaction,
the Fashion Art League modistes
noted that they were only copies and
slightly altered limitations of the cos
tunes shown in Chicago six months
ago for spring wear.
For the information, then, of Paris
and the delectation of American
women who are on the qui vive to
know what is what for the coming
season, it may be declared from an
inspection of the costumes visible at
the Congress Hotel that these will be
"the thing"
For street wear, dark, plain colors,
blue, brown and black, with fur trim
ming at throat, bottom of coat and
shirt and even as a broad band at
the bottom of the underskirt. Long
sleeves. Coats vary from long bolero
length to the 26-inch length for suit
coats and full length for separate
great coats. Military collars of fur,
if the fur is attached; otherwise "
shaped neck to show waist collars
and to be worn with fluffy neck
pieces.
There are to be pockets on skirts,
made in patch style this time, and !
shocked yokes or trimming. Short
length, hens six inches from the
floor, will be vogue.
For afternoons styles vary with the
use. For staid house affairs of more
formal nature, for out-of-doors, pan
niers are the thing. They stick out
stiffly from the hips, being boned at
the top They are flat front and
back, with wide bottoms like grand
mothers gowns. All are open widely
at the neck, in deep V-shape or deep
square cuts. Soft roll collar effects,
coming high in the back, as in colon
ial days, are seen.
If for tea or the dansant, the
frocks are of net, tulle and chiffon,
with real hoopskirt petticoats two
inches shorter than the outer frock,
which is even as much as eight inches
from the floor. Ribbon belts with
large bows at the back are the thing.
Everything must be thin, thin, thin.
For evening, something similar to
the dansant frocks, but of greater
length. For formal wear the short
train is seen. There are no arms.
The undergarments are sheer and in
distinguishable. The decollette is
deep in front and deeper in the back
Metal trimmings and blazing colors
are conspicuous for Others than the
most girlish types.
To sum up, the costume buyer is
warned that she must have the sheer
est garments for dance or evening
wear; full skirts for all costumes,
all short skirts except on formal
evening gowns, solid colors, for suits
with fur at the top, bottom and mid
way, even at the bottom of petticoats,
and white hose for nearly everything
Waist lines are natural and princess
effects will be much worn.

BITTER DID NOT BITE so VERY BAD
Ohio Manufacturers Continue to Do Bus
mess Under Laws They Knocked.

Not so very long ago several we'll
posted manufacturers of the state of
Ohio stated that if nine-hour law for
women was passed, or rather a fifty
four hour week, they would be forced to
90 out of business or remove to another
state
After careful scrutiny OF the finan-
eial and business changes as announced
in various publications, it is to be noted
that not single one OF those who pre-
dicted dire disaster has left the state of
Ohio or has gone into bankruptcy on ac-
count of that law.
Prior to and while the vorkmen's COM
pensation law was being discussed one
of the strong arguments of hundreds OF
employers was to the effect that if they
had to carry insurance on their men in
a state fund. the same as many of them
weie carrying in indemnity y-insurance
companies. they would be forced out Of
business, or would be compelled to re-
move to another state.
Those two laws have been in operation
for several years and the dire calamity
predicted by some has failed to appear.
In the last analysis, increased eff
cheney and a better working spirit have
taken care of those things which some
thought spelt nothing but -Cincin-

Folly Of the Wise Ones

But ask now the beasts and they shall

In an African thicket covered two
jackals. sheltered from immediate dan

ing eyes as the rattle of musketry and
the boom OF cannon came to them over
the distant landscape.

are those frightfnl noises"
My child" replied the old one muz-

And what arc they doing.''
They are destroying each other for
they are sick with the spasm of war;
And why do they do these things -
we animals do not know" replied the
aged one. "They build but to destroy.
They sing strange songs of peace and

USEFULNESS OF WORMS TO SOIL.

Worms are great promoters of vcgeta.
tion by boring, pcrforating and loosening
the soil, and rendering it pcrvious to
rains and the fibers of plants by drawing
straws and stalks of leaves and twigs
into IL. and. most of all. by throwing
up such infinite numbers Of Jumps OF
earth called wormcasts. which form a
fine manure for grain and grass. The
earth without worms would soon become
cold, hard, void Of fermentation and
consequently sterile. This has occurred
in many cases where the worms have
been either accidentally or Intentionally
destroyed, and the fertility of the soil
thus lost has only been restored when
the worms had again collected and re-
snmed their fertiliking work

Washing the Windows.
Housekeepers ought to know how
shopkeepers have their windows wash
ed. The latter would laugh at the
soap and water used by the former
and call them waste of energy and
time. Their method is this: Mix one
part of alcohol with three times its
bulk Of water and stir in enough whit
Ing to thicken it to the consistency of
. thin cream. Apply this to the glass
with waste or cotton cloth. Leave
1t to dry, which it will do in fifteen OF
twenty minutes; then rub 1t off with
a clean cloth. The window is not only
cleaned, but polished, the woodwork
Is in no way injured and much time
