POCKETBOOK ARGUMENT.

Aside from town loyalty, VIII!
should a person trade with his home
merchant? Home pride and towI
LOYALTY is not so strong as pocket
book argument. Many Ashland mer
chants tell the writer that theil
prices, quality considered, are better
than people are paying when they
send away. If this is true, and you
let the trade know it, they are pock-
etbook chumps, nothing less, If they
persist in sending away for supplies.
But-and there's the rub-the aver
age Ashland merchant does not let
the people know. 1t is one thing to
advertise and another thing to pro-
duce advertising with pulling power.
Every merchant, to be successful,
should spend as much each month
for advertising as he does for rent.
Then he should give the matter he
puts in his advertisement as much
thought as he gives both to buying
right and selling at a profit. Adver-
tisements are effective statesmen.
Just how effective depends upon
what is offered for sale and how it
is offered.
The Ashland Tidings is today go
ing into 90 per cent of the Ashland
homes. How could a Tidings adver-
tisement carry al attractive offer
that had no drawing power? Be a
merchant. Compete like success
full business man. Couple your mer-
chandising intelligently to your ad-
vertising and have no fear that your
customer will send away for goods
they should buy of you. Buyers go
where they think they do the best.
Why not you convince them that you
have the best to offer? If you can
not compete you are out of the run
ming. II you can compete and the
people do not know that you can,
still you are out of the running. If
you do compete and let the people
know it, you are bound to win. That
is the philosophy Of advertising.
More fortunes have been made
through proper advertising than from
all the gold mines Of the world. The
is good medium In which
to try It.

LAND GRANT TAXES MUST BE
PAID

In a decision rendered recently,
Circuit Judge J. w. Hamilton, in the
case of Douglas county VS.. the South
ern Oregon company, involving taxes
due the county from that company,
held that the tax is "a lien against
the land-a definite charge-not
against the individual owner, but
against the land itself"
The Southern Oregon company
owns the Coos Bay wagon road grant
made by the United States in 1869.
Practically the same conditions gov
ern as in the Oregon E. California
land grant, owned by the Southern
Pacific.
When the litigation was begun to
cancel the land grants for failure to
comply with original conditions, the
Southern Oregon company stopped
paying taxes upon the grant, as the
Southern Pacific did later. The suit
was brought to determine the valid
ity of the tax liens issued against the
property.
The company maintained that the
federal court decision entitled 1t to
an interest of $3.50 an acre in the
land, and that as much of the land
was assessed at a, greater sum, the
assessment was void. The court held
that the assessor was bound to asses
the property at its real value against
the holders of the legal title, and
that If the land had been assessed at
too high valuation the remedy lay
in an appeal to the board Of equaliz-
alton. Generalization is mere ir-
regularity which does not render the
assessment void.
The decision will undoubtedly be
carried to higher courts, but there
is little doubt, in view Of previous de-
cisions, but that it will be confirmed,
and that both the Southern Oregon
company and the Southern Pacific
company will have to pay the delin-
quent taxes-or lose all equity in the
land.
Some $4,000 is due Jackson
county from the 44O, 900 acres in the
Oregon and California land grant,
and this and subsequent delinquen-
cies will eventually have to be paid |
to secure title to the land, for the
land itself is liable, not the person
happening to own it.

TOO MUCH l SIN

Editor Tidings:
AS toast my feet by an anthra-
cite fire while the blizzard RACES
without, my mind is lifted and my
heart is stirred by the message Rev.
Calkins gave me this forenoon.
Why should l not say that God
sent it thru an inspired son? II
was no miracle, only a true message
from the source of all truth as all
truths come and must come, thru
natural agencies working thru ma
tural laws, laws that never have
changed or ever can. | will not say
that none of the human thru which
1t came did not stick to it-just
enough bran to make it good whole
wheat flour. l think there was no
chaff. We rarely get it without chaff.
l cannot give you Mr.. Calkin's grist,
but am inspired by it to try to en-
phasize truth to which many are
calling attention-the unbearable
burden of donominationalism that is
crushing the life out of Christian
churches.
Each church should be a central
organization for united uplift work
in its locality. Two churches should
not exist where one can do the work.
That work should not be the spread
ing of some special ism" or "dozy",
but the helping of homes and schools
in building up Christian character.
think the Jews (good people,
admit that Christian character is
good character. Therefore they, if
they are few, should not burden
themselves with synagogue and
rabbi until they are numerous
enough to fill the synagogue and
wealthy enough to pay the rabbi
decent salary. Much less excuse
Is there for Methodists, Baptists or
Presbyterians when they split apart,
putting the burden of maintenance
upon few, often struggling to get
outside aid to maintain separate
weak organizations. They cannot
help their own poor, much less can
htey help outside poor. They cannot
help let the light into darkest AT
frica". They cannot unite in start
ing community house" with Ii
brary, and the modern appliances for
amusing, educating, and benefitting
the community.
They can do nothing but keep the
breath of life going in their separate
little weak church organization.
This church fault is so general at
least among Protestant denomina-
tions, that l think / may liken it to
farmer with thousands Of acres Of
fertile wheat land. He might plow
and SOW it all Eyes, all and raise q
crop with a few steam
plows, modern harrows, and wheat
drills, but no, he uses oxen, or horse

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health Is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emu1-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to Its refresh
Ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

He cultivates comparatively few
acres poorly, getting little crop,
while much of his land runs to weeks.
At beautiful Ashland in the fertile
Rogue river valley, Oregon, l was
told that sixteen different church or
ganizations divide the efforts of a
population of $500 (about the popu-
lation of Hilo outside the planta-
tions). They have no Y. M. c. A.,
no community house. How could they
support them?
1t is, however, proof that without
saloon (they have none) town
of that size can give a semblance Of
life to sixteen church organizations.
l doubt if there is much Christian
love between the sects, or much CO.
operation. At Jerusalem Turkish
soldiers guard the sacred places to
prevent Christian pilgrims from
fighting each other; not pilgrims
from America, l believe, tho there is
here too much denominations ami
mostly and too little Christian love.

good.

GOOD WORDS FOR OUR AUTO
CAMP

Following is an excerpt from a
letter received by Beaver Realty
company, under date of January 1,
1916, from Mrs. Dora d. Humbert,
OF Minnesota:
"Please tell the gentleman who
planned and executed the scheme
OF the park, that Ashland gave us
the most conver lent and comfort
able camping place that we found
on the entire trip of more than o.
600 miles, and while our bodies
rested, our souls feasted on the ma
tural beauty of the spot, and the ar
tistic touches added by some beauty
loving mind.
I'VE most heartily thank whoever
gave the time and thought for our
comfort and assure him that the
effort was appreciated, not only by
us, but by every overlander who
visited the park, for we heard OF
Ashland and auto camp grounds all
along the way.
eve arrived home in October af-
ter a trip of over five months; and
today the snow is flying in white
sheets past the window as write,
but II does not trouble me for the
eyes OF my inner self are looking
into the clear waters of Ashland
creek and see the sunlight fitting
the trees above II. ! love
your Oregon, most sincerely"

EXCUSES THE MAKESHIFTS OF
THOSE WHO FAIL IN LIFE.

Excuses fill no pay envelopes.
The salesman who brings in eX-
cuses instead of orders keeps no
wheels turning.
The engine driver who has ex-
cuses to offer for bringing in his
train late day after day and week
after week is not the man the rail
road wants.
The renting agent who can attract
no tenants, but can furnish fine eX-
cuses for his failure, is not the per-
son the landlord cares to keep in his
employment.
The world wants results, not ex-
cuses.
No man can hit the bullseye every
time.
No man can make a sale to every
prospective customer.
No man can achieve the superhu-
man.
Indeed, it has been sagely said that
the man who never made a mistake
never made anything else.
But the best workers in any field
are those who offer the fewest ex-
cuses.
You will notice that the fellow who
is not making good nearly always
blames someone else.
Often he is too conceited and self
satisfied to look for the cause in him
self, in his own shortcomings, in his
own lack of energy and ability.
If he can find nobody or nothing
else to blame he will complacently
attribute his failures to "bad luck"
Search diligently enough and you
can usually find a reason for bad
luck"
bad luck" most times, is nothing
but a convenient excuse for lack of
energy, lack of persistency, lack Of
diligent thinking and planning and
striving and stick-to-it-iveness.
bad luck" and laziness, indiffer-
ence, shiftlessness and shallowness
are near relatives, If not always
brothers.
Good luck" you must have no
ticed, however, commonly goes hand
in hand with hard work, with inde-
fatigable plodding, with unremitting
application, with clear-headed think
in short, deservedness.
If those who use their brains in
,oining glib excuses would use them
n overcoming the need for excuses,
hey would fare better in the end.
Abject failure and an ideal excuse
ire less desirable than partial success
md the poorest of excuses
If you are a ready weaver of ex-
uses which implicate others, stop
light now and do a little self-an-
llysis.
Turn your searchlight inward.
Do some keen, unsparing intro
;pection.
Apply an x-ray to yourself,
Try to find weak spots in your own
makeup instead of having eyes to see
them only in others.
Don't fill yourself with delusions
hat you are really much smarter
fellow than the world imagines.
Don't drug yourself with self-pity |
and self-laudation.-B. c. Forbes in
