THE NATIONAL BIRD.

Some OF the pacifists have recently
been expressing their dislike of the
eagle, used as national American
symbol. To their minds, the eagle is
a bird Of prey, a robber and a thief
arrogant and overbearing, They re-
gard him as unsuited to represent
peace-loving, industrious America.
The eagle is OF course a militaris-
tic bird. His great power and daunt-
less courage make him a typical
fighter. His picture displayed on the
banners OF ancient Rome gave the
battling regions confidence and cour-
age.
This aspect OF the eagles nature
seems inappropriate TO our national
habits. But the eagle also stands for
a marvelously clear vision. He rises
to vast heights, and his clear-seeing
eve overlooks the whole landscape.
That is certainly symbolistic Of our
American freedom OF thought. Our
prosperity and social advances are
due to the clearness with which our
people have discerned certain truths
which the Old World has been slow
TO recognize.

she, Ma T., was married in, and

as I turned away from what is abso-

of how the people of Ashland have
run away from this, as they have
from their other unique and market

tising, don't they cash their oppor-

THE MILL STREET PROPERTY.

There is some agitation in the
council to allow the property on Mill
street, which was contracted by the
city for park purposes and which en-
braces the Kinney tract, the Peii
tract and the Allen tract, to so back
to the original owners, notwithstane-
ing the city has paid $1,000 down on
the property. The one thousand dol
lars advanced was paid by the springs
water commission out Of the springs
funds. The greatest mistake the city
could make would be 10 let this valu-
able and muchlneeded property re-
vert. II the council is bound to do
that, it is not necessary that the city
should lose the thousand dollars al
ready paid. The Tidings will under
take to find a customer to take 1t
off the ciy's hands at the price it
paid and reimburse it the thousand
dollars paid down on the property.
This is specific offer and the It'd
ings will make good on il if the coun-
ell desires to rid the city of the prop
erty. Before three months the need
of this property VIII be so apparent
that no one would be in favor of let
ting it so. Many doubted the advis-
ability of the purchase of the prop
erty between Granite street and the
park, which was added to the park,
but now the person who does not see
the need OF ii would be hard to find.
Everybody is now agreed on the ne
cessity of that purchase. Just so,
within three months the resort deveN-
opment will show the absolute neces-
sity Of the Mil street property. The
first band concert on bright Sun
day will demonstrate the need for
more room at this end of Lithfa Park.
There will be thousands of automo-
biles congregated there where there
is room for but hundreds.

The Springs
OF Inspiration
(By Leonard Hinton }

That eXpressman said more about
his home town as | rode about with
him, and one remark of his was to
linger in my mind and clamor for ex-
PLANTATION. He said:
"The people of Ashland have won
derful advantages, and men of vision
to develop them. But as a whole the
people have little faith. In inspired
moments they create institutions of
unique value, and then go off and for
get about them. They allow capital
and enterprise to begin the work of
making Ashland famous, and then
wonder, when they have grown indi0
ferent themselves, why that begin
ming does not bring results"
The next day, while satisfying my
investigating instinct, came upon an
astounding justification of my
friends observation. In Lithia Park
I stumbled on a sign, FREE AUTO
CAMP GROUND" | can't say that
mighty emotions at once surged into
my soul. They didn't. l was on the
point of ignoring that sign, when my
gaze, casually wandering over the
area indicated by the pointing finger
on the sign, rested on two rows of
stakes, numbered in white paint.
go" | thought whimsically, "Tin
Lizzie is to be tied to a post" Then
my fancy, never satisfied, began to
suggest things. That attractive
screen-porch pavilion affair, now.
Could that be a part of the camp
ground? There seemed to be a sign
on it. When in doubt, read the sign:
AUTOMOBILE TOURISTS REGIS
TER INSIDE.
GAS 25 CENTS A DAY"
There were other signs, which l
read and reflected upon later, but
already I was shading my eyes and
searching the inside of the pavilion.
1t was screened on three sides, be-
tween the wainscoting and the caves.
Across one end, inside, and the full
length of the front of the building,
ran shelf, supporting a row of
bright nickel and enamel, efficient
looking gas plates, each of which was
numbered. Across the back of the
structure had been constructed
system of lockers and cupboards.
These too were numbered. In one
end of the room was sink and
drainboard. There was even a dish
pan.
Right then and there I invoked
wanderers blessing upon the man
who had invented that contraption.
Many time have l cooked over
blazing campfire. / enjoy it, I tell
you-when I accomplish it. More
often l burn the food, and SINCE my
eyebrows, and brand my fingers be-
fore | am through. As burnt offer
ing in the days of the prophets l
would have scored a hit. AS a camp
fire chef | have been more often
SCARED and hit by my victims. I
enjoy, too, the poetry of a gypsy camp
by the roadside. But l say unto you
that it has often been more road than
roadside, for the dust that has left
its abiding place and has interviewer
itself among the beans, and become
as one with the lard, and gotten it,
self insinuated into the pancakes.
And here-shades of Harlem kitch-
enette!-was a gas plate, cupboard,
sink, and, as l said, a dishpan.
Wandering across the path, l found
the tables. Still more numbers. And
at last l had the combination.

this fact that we are making here our
status there. Death is the commence
ment of greater effectiveness for life.
That stone is rolled away from our
sepulchers.
1t is also true that Christ gave
ground for believing that our loved
ones gone are still with US. He told
his disciples that where they were,
there he would be in the midst OF
them. He spoke Of a home he had
gone to prepare and of coming to take
them to it. Enframe this as one may,
the picture is the same-reunion with
the loved ones gone. You come home
from a trip abroad. AS you draw near
the pier the hands of loved ones wave
to YOU, the steamer ties up to her
wharf and you are again in the arms
of those so dear. So it is at death.
You have been long away from those
at home. but the vessel that has car
ried you-your body--ties UP some
day to the little green wharf on some
cuiet hillside and you again are with
your dear ones.
There rolls the last stone away.

thou be with me in PARADISE he was
opening the door of heaven to all the
wide, storm-tossed world; and as the
angel of God came and rolled away
the stone on that Easter morning OF
long ago, so he comes to every worn,
bodily casket and sets the soul free
to find glory, perfect life, perfect nap
piness in some fair haven of God.
And we vex our souls with wonder
ing where that haven may be. we
reach out eager hands and cry: What
is immortal life?"
Friend, it is that live, vital spark
that spells life to you and to me; that,
when the angel rolls away the stone
for us, shall rise, free and untram-
melea, to}enter the city of God.
We are living in eternity today
you and l. We are so close to heaven
that at times faint echoes of it's music
reach us-faint, far-off, waited by
some close, sweet vibration between
our heart and the heart of the eternal
God-faint, but sure! And we still
our souls in wonder and in awe, for
we understand with knowledge
born of God that we have caught
tune from the heavenly choir, and
have for holy instant, verify felt the
touch of God. And as the lily, pure
and spotless, pushes it's way from the
dark earth and unfolds into glorious
life, so one day, from out all these
earth environments, shall the soul un-
fold itself into broader life.
"For the angel of the Lord descend
ed from heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone'-rolled it back
friend, for you-me-that light might
burst from the darkness which holds
us, pointing the way to clearer
vision and a truer faith; and the
music that started in heaven and IN
earth when Christ came forth-victor
over sin, death and the grave-has
never ceased, and will never cease,
but go rolling on, grandly triumphant
as long as earth shall last.

to sorrow for our loved ones gone,
but this is not true. Jesus sorrowed
greatly with those who had met such
losses as ours. He would not have
us sorrow as those who have no
hope, but he recognized that it would
be unnatural not to grieve, and un-
kind not to remember. Let us re-

gone out of sight; that he would not
have us live as though they had
