From another Pointer NieD
By c. T. S.

Supreme Justice Charles E. Hughes
seems to have reserved his decision.
On the other hand, we feel that we
can never forgive the Colonel for get
ting Lou Rowley started again.
Let's see; whose turn is it to take
Verdun today?
The Waite case began as a shock to
the doctors friends and apparently is to
wind up with shock for the doctor.
Welcome, Mr.. Hutchins, to the ranks
of the straphangers,
The more we think the matter over.
the more are we convinced that unidenti-
fled men should keep away from the
river. Most every day We read that the
body Of one of them has been found
floating in it.
Industrial note: Considerable exca-
waiting is being done in our neighbor-
hood and several good cansful are re-
ported.
Inc motorcycle squad having been
doubled in the number of officers watch
ing auto speeders, we may look, we pre-
sumo, for twice as many speedy releases
after arrest as formerly.
There is so much cloth in Peg Ray
mond's Preparedness" bathing suit that
we are afraid the opening of the bathing
season will find the most of the girls at
the seashore leaning toward unprepared-
ness.
| They are razing the old Folly theater.
The other time, it was a "hootchie-
kootchie" dancer that brought the house
down. /.
Wonder if the young man who raised
a $50 check to $500 ever tried his hand
on a plant they call an elephants ear?
The one we put in isn't even, as vet,
within hearing.
| And we have reached the conclusion
that the reason dandelions do so well in
our front lawn is because we didn't plant
them.

Where ignorance Is bliss. tbs
folly to be WISE" runs the old say
ing. In matters of health, Ignorance
may sometimes be bliss. But It Is
always a bliss that costs high.
Every year. according to authori-
tative statistics. over half a million
people die in the United States sim
ply because they have not known
or. IL knowing. have not applied
the principles Of healthy living.
Every year ignorance Of the ways
Of health brings occupants to a ire
mendous proportion Of the three mil.
lion and more sick beds kept filled
in American hospitals and homes.
Every year an economic loss OF
more than a billion dollars is i'm
posed on the American people
through illness and deaths which
would not have occurred had those
sick and dying known how to safe
guard their health.
The fact Of the matter Is that most
of US give more thought TO the ques-
ton Of living prosperously than to
that Of living long
We want. Of course, TO live long.
But our attention Ia focused on
ways and means Of getting on in
the world"
In order to succeed" we are IL
ing to give years of study in school,
In college. in professional institu-
lions of one kind or another.
We are relentless in our pursuit
of knowledge of an income-bearing
variety. We burn the midnight oil.
We scheme. we plan; tirelessly we
press ourselves.
And all the while we forget that
our ambitions, our dreams. are
bound to be in some measure frus-
trated, IL we do not take care OF our
health.
The healthier mans body is, the
sounder his brain will be. The
sounder his brain, the better he can
think. The better he can think, the
more prosperous he will be. Here
ia a chain OF cause and effect that is
unbeatable.
Therefore, IL only from the stand
point of dollars and cents, II pays to
make a study OF personal hygiene.
You have books in your home
dealing with the profession or bus
mess to which you are devoting
yourself. You feel that you need
these books.

Little Miss Rosemary Teal Of Milwaukee,. an
extremely pretty girl OF 90 an accomplished
musician, graduate OF Wisconsin convent and
possessing an independent income Of her own,

novelty OF Il. In this age Of female independence
most girls OF 20 are trying TO rid themselves OF

that the world is lonesome place" until too

There's heart throb and Q moral in Mis-
Teal's unusual plea.

Recreation IS not sleep. Neither

from continuous effort and therefore
need rest. But that rest can be OBJ
tanned by some physical exercise or

forget our work.
Again. our bodies may be tired

Plain Facts About Ashland and the
Springs Dedication.
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)

(By Henry G. Gilmore.)
| The individual who, perhaps with
out a wicked intention, distorts oil
exaggerates to serve some specific
purpose, is not the booster Ashland
or any other community needs to pro-
claim, from the housetops, the exhibi-
tion of wares it has to offer the set
tier who has neither money nor time
to waste upon fleeting possibilities.
All crude uncertainties should be dis
counted at the very start and the ma
nipulator of Mother Earth or any
other commodity be made to feel that
the golden rule of doing to others as
you would be done by cannot for a
moment be disregarded as a plain
matter of duty, as between man and
man. The man never troubled with
doubt about anything or has no
compunction of conscience under any
circumstances is, least of all, to be
trusted as friend and confidential
adviser where truth, honor and fair
dealing are the indispensable safe
guards to every business transaction
in life.
The following are extracts from a
letter just received from a Califor-
man who knows Ashland well and
has his eyes upon it as sure winner,
if 1t will only be true to itself and
the many interests it represents.
Says my correspondent in terms that
no one can misunderstood:
"The accounts of your forthcoming
festival on July 4, and are caus-
ing much comment in our state, and
we hope that the publicity committee
will see to 1t that the San Francisco
newspapers publish some items, un-
der the date line of Ashland, giving
marked reminders of the event, so
that the attention of the public may
be directed to Ashland and also its
nearness to Crater Lake, etc. In
this manner would people who were
touring be induced to take Ashland
as one of the points on their trip,
especially If it be in the neighborhood
of our natal day.
II hardly think the railroad is to
be thanked for making that rate of
fare and a third from Dunsmuir to
Ashland. Why don't they make it
from San Francisco? People here
want to go to summer resorts-Duns-

Enders' hired two-dollar-a-day So
licitors, combined with the efforts OF
the Ashland circulation managers OF
the Mail Tribune and Medford Sun,
so far have failed to secure enough
signatures to bring the Greer recall
TO a vote. We understand they have
been able to secure but about 100
signatures, although a house to house
canvass has been made. II requires
400 to call an election. We might
suggest that Enders' hired solicitors
can do much better soliciting sub
scribers for the Tldings on small
commission. AS a resentment to the
Enders knocking twenty-five new
subscribers came in last week unso-
licited. II the encouragement re-
eeived from citizens by Mr.. Greer Is
an index, the citizens of Ashland are
solidly behind the springs project and
are satisfied with its management.
Enders is full of wind, Justification,
bluster and inuendo. Were he not
cracked, his villainous CREATIONS
would warrant putting him in jail.
AS it is, people are rather inclined to
petition for an examining board
lunatico inquirendo for him, with
view OF sending him to Salem, where
he will do himself and his business
less harm. His bluster harms no
body but himself.

scarcely fail to be moved by one or

as follows: For president, total vote
