Keep Your Money
In Ashland

Outside of the price of commodi-
ties, or the matter OF whether your
local merchant can supply your needs
as cheaply as the mail order house,
there is a real advantage to the citi-
zen in trading at home, that must of
needs be overlooked before a citizen
can conscientiously send his money
away for supplies.
Is it of interest to the average cit-
zen whether his property value goes
up or goes down? Whether it goes
up or down depends altogether on
the prosperity of the town in which
the property is located. Impoverish
the town and property values go
down, rents go down and taxes go
up. Impoverish the town and mar
kets for home produce languish and
money gets tight. Everybody is
hard up when the town is put on the
bum.
Take a community that raises
more than it consumes and ships its
surplus away TO good market and
sells at a good price, bringing the
cash back into the home community,
and the local community at once be-
comes prosperous. The community
that buys our supplies instead of pro-
ducing their own becomes poorer just
in proportion to the amount Of money
ii sends out. Our community be-
comes more prosperous just in pro-
portion to the money that comes in
and stays in.
1t is utterly impossible for citizens
to be prosperous in a community that
is impoverished. Cash must be float
ing in our proximity before we can
get it. If, when we get the dollar we
at once send it out of the commun-
ity, where we cannot get it again,
not only the community but ourselves
will be hard up.
That is a law you cant get away
from. The only way to avoid it is to
keep the money at home. With this
view, believing that ignorance of the
damaging effects that follow mail Or
der buying in a community only can
account for the unwise policy, the
Tidings, in conjunction with a num-
ber of Ashland merchants, is putting
on a trade-at-home educational cam
paign, carrying illustrations and rela-
tive facts of mail order buying, in the
hope of convincing our people that
prosperity is best fostered by trading
at home, even though the price of the
local merchant be slightly higher.
The campaign begins in this issue.
A new illustration and argument will
appear every Monday. 1t will be in
teresting and educational and worth
following.

Baby Cabs Furnish
Only Loophole

"An ordinance to prohibit coast
ing, roller skating, and sliding on the
sidewalks throughout the city of Ash
land" And the war was on. The
council listened in silence to the read
ing of the ordinance, which is almost
if not quite alright and forces the
children with their coaster wagons,
sleds and roller skates into the street.
The ordinance prohibits anything but
baby carriages on the sidewalks, so
if you want to coast, kids, coast in a
baby carriage. Be careful to take out
the baby first, though. Be of good
cheer, however The ordinance will
not be passed for two weeks vet, and
maybe not at all, if the silvertongued
oratory of Poke Nininger, champion
of the kids" prevails.
Councilman Nininger stood up for
the children nobly, stated he be-
lieved it selfish to prohibit skating on
the sidewalk in the residence dis
trict, and criminal to force the chill
dren to skate in the streets, for "any
boy who has spent two dollars for
pair of skates is going to skate some
where" He went on to tell how he
handled the skating problem at his
corner, where the children come
speeding down Gresham street and
turn onto Main. He said he went out
and talked kindly to them, showing
them the danger of running into
someone at the corner, and telling
them to skate into the store If they
wished, but be careful of the corner,
and since has had practically no trou-
BILE. He also told of another instance
he knew Of in which a business man
had angrily threatened a bunch of
children skating, and as a result was
nearly pestered to death.
Mr.. Banta stated that many people
had spoken to him about the matter
and asked him to have skating pro-
as the noise bothered them
and the children often took unwar-
ranted privileges.
Mr.. Nininger said he asked one
man who was loud in his rantings
against the children's skating if "he
had any of his own," and received the
reply, Wouldn't have one around
the place."
The mayor told of the first time
during his administration when the
,ity officials had sought to regulate
he skating and of the trouble which
lad resulted. Overnight hundreds of
champions of childrens rights sprang
Up and forced Withdrawals of restric-
ions.
He told of one small boy coming to
lin asking permission to skate, and
When asked if he thought it all right
o fly around with wheels on his feet
eplied, my dad says it is no worse ,
laving wheels on your feet than
wheels in your head"
AS result of the discussion, while I
10 formal action was taken, the ten
