The other day, having mislaid or lost this solaee of his resting hours, he called his boy-of-all-work and said: Josh, go to the grocery and get me cob pipe. Well. get two while you're at 1t and pick out good ones."
 As Josh came out of the grocery with the pipes in his hand, he was hailed by a group of acquaintances: Hello. Josh, where did you get them pipes?"
 MT. H- sent me fur em."

 Well, one of 'em mus be fer the missus. Dinged if I knew before that she smoked"
 And now the news is abroad in the Brown county hills that Mrs. H. smokes cob pipe.-Indianapoli News.

Dirt, but Must Be Kept Seru- pulousiy Clean.

Much is said of the cleanliness Of milk. Most people like to use pail in milking that has as small an opening as it is convenient to milk into. The mechanical milker has no opening that can admit dust or dirt into the milk except where the milk is taken into the tubes. These can be packed with clean cotton if necessary. thus preventing the entrance of dirt or dust.
 But the milk taken into the ma. chimes may be contaminated by the dirt left in the machine from the

nuts and other essentials of the
Christmas season for which the
White House grocery is a shopping
Mecca.

Van Wegen Resigns
Superintendent Job

L. o. Van Wegen has given up his
position Of superintendent of the min
eral water plants and system and is
now holding down the job of driver
in the fire department. The superin-
tendent job paid 500 month and
Mr.. Van Wegen furnished his own
car, gasoline and oil for the round of
pumps which was required daily. A
good full day was also required for
the work to be done, besides a me-
chanic's knowledge of pumps, electric
motors and apparatus, plumbing and
the intricate machinery of the pump
ing plant and central station. Super
vision of the pipe lines also came un-
der his care. During the summer Mr..
Van Wegen found that he could just
about make fair wages above the cost
of car upkeep, and when winter came
he figured out that the fire depart
ment job would net him considerably
more. There are few car owners in
Ashland who would allow their car
to make the trip to the pumps in win
ter weather for three dollars, say
nothing about their own time.

Holmes Grocery
Is One Big Bower

The chance visitor to Holmes gro
Gerry hardly can conceive that he is
in such a mundane establishment
as grocery when he enters the
bower of Christmassy beauty into
which H. P. Holmes and his helpers
have transferred that store. OF
course a large part of the beauty lies
in the fact that the biggest stock
of beautiful china and glassware in
this part of the country if not in
southern Oregon is displayed therein,
but the manner of display is its chief
charm. A bower of everygreens holds
the center of the display space, while
a series of evergreen arches with the
gift dishes displayed in serried rows
beneath make a wonderful effect.
This is one of the Christmas shopping
attractions which the gift buyer and
the admirer of beautiful displays can
not afford to pass by.
