AShlanderS Make
Good in Hawaii

Mrs d. P. Blue, who returned last
week from Honolulu and will spend a
year in Ashland before returning to
the Hawaiian Islands, reported that
Edward Stannard, who is teaching
in the Iolani school in Honolulu, is
the Iolani school in Hnoolulu, is
spending his vacation working on a
sugar plantation, earning a goodly
salary besides the school pay, which
goes on as usual. Mrs. Blue says all
of the Ashlanders made good over in
the islands. Verne Blue will prob
ably be over next winter and Miss
Frances Hamlin will also be over
Christmas or next summer. Jan
Mowat has already received two ad-
vances in the employ of the Kahului
Railroad & Steamship Company and
stands excellent chances of further
in the near future. Mrs.
Blue says that at present there are
several vacancies in the schools over
there, but that they are filled so fast
that no one can be sure of getting

Band Will Give
Another Dance

The band boys realized about ten
dollors towards the purchase of
their new bass horn at the band bene-
fit dance held last Thursday evening
at the Bungalow. The Bungalow
management donated the floor and
the proceeds 60 to buying the horn
A new horn will cost about 1927, and
the bandmen will continue their eff
forts to raise this sum by giving an
other dance under the same arrange
ments at the Bungalow Thursday of
this week. The boys are determined
to get the new horn and, in fact, must
have it, the leaky old piece of metal
which Frank Jordan manipulates at
present being in a sad state of disin-
tegration.
Everybody had rafting good time
at the last dance. The music was ex-
cellent and the Bungalow proved to
be a cool and comfortable place to
dance despite the warmth Of the even
ing. The dance this week should
bring out much larger crowd.

OWNED AND RENTED HOMES.

A little group of men who have
dealt considerably in real estate in
a number of cities, got to comparing
experiences the other day. They
were discussing the question whether
more or less people own their homes
than formerly. It was the final con-
sensus that there are fewer houses
owned by the occupants that for
merly.
Workmen nowadays cherish tenac-
iously their freedom of movement.
If they hear Of better job, they
want to be footloose to pull up and
go. They do not work as long in one
place as formerly. The man who has
stuck to one job ten years is mem
ber of the old guard, a conspicuous
figure. There is an unwillingness to
tie up money in any one place.
AS a result 1t was the feeling that
there is an increasing contrast be-
tween the various sections of growing
towns. The better houses are very
nicely kept up. People settle down
in them in permanent way. They
plant shrubbery and cultivate flowers
and fertilize and decorate their lawns
with an eye to the future.
Meanwhile in the less costly homes
the tenants are more mobile. They
hate to do any permanent grading
or planting on their landlords real
estate, They may be far away an
other year, and other tenants would
reap the advantage of their labor
Let the landlord do it, is their view.
Usually the landlord does not see
how Identification will improve his
rent.
All of which tends to create resi-
dence districts without beauty, plain
and bare. Also the man in rented
house is less likely to save. A mort
gage is constant incentive to thrift.
But the renter feels Independent and
is apt to be Indifferent to a bank ac-
count. 1t is not easy to build up sub
stantial and beautiful towns on the
basis of the modern restless popula-
tion, and the man who owns his home
can usually look his banker friend
squarsly in the face.

MODERN .PARsEdoNY.

Tn the books we used to read, one
Of the most common characters was
the miser. And he was no mere
creature of the imagination. You
could find specimens Of him in every
village. Thrift was one of the COM
monest American qualities, and
everywhere you could find those who
carried the virtue to extremes Often
they retired to lonely huts in order
to save expenses and commonly they
lived in dirt and squalor.
The present age is an age of conf
dence and free spending. Many peo-
pie acquire an automobile before they
get a bank account. AS result
there is a scarcity of loanable capital,
and many hopeful enterprises perish
because they cannot be financed.
One of the most interesting cases
Of thrift carried to an extreme is
that OF Mrs. Hetty Green, richest
woman in the world, whose death oc-
Cured short time ago, and whose
eccentric frugality has long been a
subject OF gossip. It would not be
fair 10 Mrs. Green, or others like her,
20 refer 10 her as a modern miser.
The miser used to withdraw wealth
from circulation, finding pleasure in
rhe mere sight and touch of golden,
cinking coins.
People Of the Mrs Green type at
least promote general prosperity by
lending out their hosrds for product
I've enterprises. While II IS not a
career 70 he held up for emulation. It
is at leant more Of a public benefit
than that Of the man who spends as
fast as he earns and never increases
the resources Of the community.
Parsimony Is not 80 common a
fault nowadays that many people
need to be warned against It. There
are great many persons who are
exceedingly frugal when II comes to
giving to charity, who spend freely
enough for their own qualification.
But there are always some who live
with mean economy from a timid
fear lest they become dependent.

PROGRESS DRIVES OUT OF THE
RUT.

When C. z. Gates of Medford sold
the new automobile bus to the Hotel
Austin he took in part exchange the
team of horses, bus and baggage
wagon. of the Hotel Oregon. For
years and years this team has pulled
the same wagon over the same
streets to the same station and, in
fact. were so familiar with the route
that they have been known to meet
trains without a driver when left
standing longer than the horses
thought necessary in front of. the
hotel.
Anyhow, C. E. Gates got the team
and one of his men started to drive
it to Medford. When the horses got
to the city limits and started out on
the dirt road on Billings hill, they
created all kinds of trouble. They
baked, they kicked, they backed,
they reared, and finally when the
driver got them to moving, one was
laying back baking his hardest and
the other was galloping as hard as
he could.
This team had got in rut from
doing the same thing the same way
year after year. And they are not
the only institutions in Ashland
which have found themselves being
pulled out of a rut by progress and
are lost when they find themselves
travelling a new road, then balk and
rear back and kick over the traces.
Finally the driver quieted the
horses down and by the time they
had got to Talent they were trotting
along, both doing their share in pull
ing the wagor and accustomed to the
change.
Some borses, some institutions and
some people kick harder and balk
longer than others, but Progress is
a good driver, whipping, when neces-
sary, with a relentless hand.

From the business viewpoint it is
poor policy, as one needs to live and
spend in normal way in order to
make friends, experience life and un-
derstand the world. While the parsi-
monious man is saving little wastes
he is often missing opportunities that
otherwise he could see and grasp

highwayman, ready to make his
escape, exclaimed, HI, that's my
church; you may go free, but have
cleaned out the rest of ye." This
story was truth personified and SO
unusual and unexpected in its gen.
eral makeup as to create breadth as
against length of visage, with
forced determination always to be a
good Episcopalian when travelling by
stage coach.

Obe
Peoples 's..Forunl
JoviaIity and Good Citizenship at the
Festive Board.

= (By Henry G. Gilmore.)
Nothing could have been more ex-
hilarating than the community good
fellowship that reigned supreme on
the occasion of the recent get-togeth-
er meeting at Hotel Austin in fur
therance of Ashland's unique posi-
tion-by reason of its beautiful
Lithia Park, curative waters and
magnificent climate-leaving it alb
solutely without peer on any one
of the far-reaching areas of Uncle
Sans national domain.
DR.. Carnahan proved himself an
ideal POSTMASTER, his CHEEKY words
and beaming countenance lending a
charm to the happy surroundings.
"a Good Thing to Have Around"
DR.. Carnahan asked why a minis
ter of the Gospel should have been
called upon to preside at this civic
function, and accounted for it by the
telling Of a story delivered with all
the gusto and interpretive skill of
which the doctor is a postmaster
He said that a pious layman, desir-
Gus of doing missionary work in a
rural district with small accommoda-
ton in the way of a meeting house,
found himself up in corner and
was driven to the necessity of suppli-
eating saloonkeeper for the use of
IAN unoccupied room over his place
of business. The saloonkeeper read
lily consented to the use of his hall
for religious purposes and the meet
ings were of so encouraging nature
that the evangelist eXtempore ap-
preached the saloonist upon the pro-
priety of securing a minister to per-
manently carry on the work. Much
pleasant talk ensued over the situa-
tion, and the man accustomed to the
successful handling of sundry liquid
concoctions finally concluded by say
ing that a preacher was ad-n good
thing to have hanging round occa-
sionally. On some such grounds DR..
Carnahan surmised he was, perhaps,
indebted for his official position that
evening. There was convulsive
laughter at this sally of refined &C.
clesiasticism, but the writer owes it
to the readers of the Tidings to ex-
plain that the generally accepted op-
probrious term, after all, can be ap-
preached with childlike innocency,
for, derived from a well-known Latin
root denoting simply condemnation
of evil tendencies (this and nothing
more), there is very little to contain
mate the curriously minded individ-
ual.
''May Smoke Hereafter"
DR.. Carnahan made a second up
heaval during the evening. While
the orations were proceeding a num-
ber Of Virginia-weed exponents
smoked-up the dining room during
an unguarded moment, which led the
good doctor to call for little ven
tilation. Some windows were opened
and the situation relieved by the ad-
mission of pure air, and Dr.. Carna-
han enlivened the proceedings by
saying that on one occasion when he
probably boasted that he never
smoked. a friend retaliated by say
ing: Now, Carnahan, we know you
well, and if you don't smoke now,
how do you know that you will not
smoke hereafter?" The joke was

hugely enjoyed and all keenIy felt
that the orators hereafter" has
been resolutely and safely provided
for.
Sang the DOXOlOgy.
Now for a couple of stories for
which the good doctor is in nowise
responsible. An English newspaper
with net weekly circulation of over
two million copies electricfied its
readers, in one of its issues, by an
account of the doings of one of the
sons Of Albion at banquet at which
he presided as the head of a society,
of high standing, interested in the
PRONUNCIATION of exact data dealing
jointly with the twin scientific hand
maidens of horticulture and agricul-
ture in the four eastern counties of
England. This Englishman was
rough and tumble sort of a gentle
man, but, with 1t all, good-hearted,
benevolent individual intent upon
helping out" struggling brother.
He was little given to form and
ceremony and believed, at all times,
in asking blessing upon Gods gra-
cious gifts.
The Banquet had proceeded to the
second course when it suddenly oc-
Cured to this good man that grace
had been entirely omitted. Shocked
beyond measure at such delinquency;
he Immediately wrapped for order
and, inviting all to stand, delivered
himself of this brief but telling
speech: "D-n it, / forgot to say
grace; you will all now join in sing
ing Justify, Praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow" and they sang,
and many, be it remarked, did it
with tittering voices. Remembering
the true import of the so-called OPP
probrious word, no one felt them
selves scandalized by the unlimited
little incident. The merits of the
third and following courses were
proceeded with as though nothing
had happened out of the ordinary.
What Highwayman Said and Did.
Now for another taking story relat-
ed by the Episcopal bishop of Olym-
pia Estate of Washington on the oc-
casion of a mems club gathering in
the crypt of Trinity Episcopal church,
Seattle. The writer of this little
sketch was a guest at the banquet
attended by some 900 churchmen of
the city, and the occasion was a bril-
liant one in view of the able and en-
tertaining addresses delivered by en-
inent speakers during the evening.
In speaking of pioneer days in
Washington when travelling, any
where in the state, was pretty we'll
confined to the stage coach, the good
bishop drew an interesting picture
not only of the ups and downs on
corduroy roads, but the frequent dan
ger of being held up by highway
men in journeying hither and thith-
er. The bishop said that his prede-
cessor in office-then a missionary
bishop-went through the trying or
deal of one of those money or your
life" escapades and saved his money
and, perhaps, his life by pleading 1
that he was but poor struggling
bishop in the Lords vineyard and
subsisting on a mere pittance. The
highwayman had "gone through" the
pockets of the rest of the passengers
and, turning to the bishop, with an
oath asked what church he was
bishop Of "The Protestant Episco-
PAL" replied the bishop, when the

Bergen To Harlem
Is Rallying Cry For
April Carnival

Mayor Cadien of Cliffside Park,
when interviewed this week in re-
gard to the invitation Of the Harlem
Board of Trade to Bergen county
mayors and municipalities to partici-
pate in the forth coming Harlem
Carnival, said: "Councilman Cohn and
myself, together with the mayors of
Closter and Palisades Park were
guests at luncheon on Wednesday
last with officers of the Harlem Board
of Trade at which the plans and hopes
eof the coming carnival were set forth,
especially with regard to securing
the cooperation and support Of the
people Of Bergen county. Our hosts
Informed us that one of the things
that had suggested the celebration to
their body was their recent victory
whereby they had secured action on
the part of the Board of Estimate re-
ducing the cost of transportation
from the Bronx to Fort Lee Ferry to
a single fare"
Mayor Cadien said he hoped that
fifty or sixty babies would be entered
by Cliffside Park mothers in the baby
parade on April .. WOulunt IL pc q
fine thing" exclaimed the young
mayor in his enthusiastic way, IF a
number of our babies were to win
prizes! 1t would certainly mean a
lot for our section. Among the dis
tinguished judges of the parade will
be Mrs. Randolph and Mrs. Marcus
M. Marks"
The mayor said that through the
efforts of Mayor White of Fort Lee
and others, members Of the Eastern
Bergen Improvement Association, al
auto section for representatives of the
county was being organized. On Wed
nesday evening, April 5, the Carniva
Ball will be held in the 22d regiment
armory, at which Governor Whitman
and Mayor Mitchell were expected tx
be present. A box had been reserved
for twenty Bergen county mayors
Mayor Cadien hoped that as one re
suit of the celebration he hoped thai
Eastern Bergen would be greatly
benefited. "And, who knows Cliff,
side Board of Trade might be estab
lished," he concluded.

House OF Too Much Trouble

In the House of Too Much Trouble
Lived a lonely little boy;
He was eager for playmate,
He was hungry for a toy.
But twas always too much bother,
Too much dirt and too much noise
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor,
Or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close the door;
In the House of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In the House of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play;
Ev'ry room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day;
He had never had companions,
He had never owned pet
In the House of Too Much Trouble
It is trim and quiet yet.
Ev'ry room is set in order
Every book is in it's place,
And the lonely little fellow
Wears a smile upon his face.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
He is silent and at rest
In the House of Too Much Trouble
With a lily on his breast.

Public Service
Trolley Employees
Opposed 70 Union

Newark, March 20 Practically
unanimous voting against the forma-
ton of union among Public Service
trolley-men is reported from the car
barns of the Essex division. Though
barns varied in the form Of the ques-
ton voted upon, all in effect support
ed the action of the delegation Of
eighteen platform men which recent
ly informed organizers Of the Anal
gamated Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees Of
America that a branch Of that body
was not needed or wanted on the
division.
The car barn social clubs set out to
get the sentiment Of all men Of the
division as soon as it was declared
publicly by organizers and Newark
union men that the recent report Of
a delegate was not representative and
that a majority was dissatisfied with
company conditions. While the dele
CATION had claimed that 80 per cent
of the trolleymen were opposed to
the union, the activity of the social
clubs in holding meetings for voting
and in interviewing those who could
not attend the meetings apparently
shows about 95 per cent of the mer
definitely opposed to uni0nizing.
Meeting votes were reported as
unanimous, and there were no dis.
senters among those seen BY the cluE
committees. Practically the only
men whose opinions were not asked
were those on the sick list.
The number of men affected BY thi:
vote is 1855, according to figures
supplied by the Public Service Rail
way company.
The first report in was from tht
Montclair and Lake street car house
It was made public with other re-
ports.
AS sample Of the feeling Of thx
men the resolution forwarded tht
company by the Montclair men con.
demned the "cowardly assault com
mitted on Inspector Albert John
son, brother of our past president, !
and indicated that as this was q par,
of "the tactics Of the labor agitators
we will have nothing to do with
them" The approval Of 236 of ths
1868 men of this barn was reported il
writing by James ]. Harling, record
ing secretary. Twenty mer
were off sick.
The barn employees in Nutley ap-
proved the action Of the delegation
of which James O'Brien and Charles
Haberbush of that barn were mem.
bers, in telling the union men that sc
per cent of the men are are satisfied
with conditions. Edward Walsh. and
James Early were appointed to inter.
view those not at the meeting.
