ARE WE, as community, pulling together?
IA Or are we pulling in OPPOSITE directions?
ORGANIZATION is the great community need of
the day Without organization men and
women are apt to sink below. the level of
mules. Even mules, in times Of danger or
panic, have been known to COOPERATE. They
sometimes kick together. If it were givento
mules to think, they would wonder at the
ways of men. That men and women, living
and working in the same community, should
refuse to cooperate, is one of the riddles of
civilization. The only benefits worth having
are the benefits we can share with our NEIGH
BoRs Individual benefits count for little. 1t
is the cooperative effort that brings ever
lasting good Good roads, factories, better
schools, good markets can only be secured
when all pull together. Every man, woman
and child this community should give one
hour each day to community work. But don't
wait for someone else to start it. There is
work for you to do Begin with yourself.

Roundup Films
Are Excellent

Frank Hull, the movie man who Sc
cured the pictures of the Rogue Riv-
er Roundup, has received letter
from the Pathe branch at Portland,
where the films are being developed,
stating that the films are excellent
and are coming out in fine shape. He
is arranging the titles and expects to
have the films ready to throw on the
screen within a few days.
Several film people are after the
state rights for the roundup pictures,
according to Mr.. Hull. Besides be-
ing shown all over Oregon, the pic
lures will be taken over most of the
west by Mr.. Hull and his associates,
together with motion pictures of the
lassoing of a cougar which was ac-
complished before the camera in the
mountains near Grants Pass.

Absentmindedly
ElOpes With Jitney

John Dill bought sack of flour at
one of the Ashland groceries Satur-
day Afternoon. Coming out of the
store with the sack on his shoulder,
he dumped it into Ford car, cranked
up and started off, only to be brought
to a realization of what he was doing
by the protestations of his wife, who
just then appeared on the scene and
the visible amusement of the owner
of the iitney which he was purloining.
Mr.. Dill in his rush had started off
with one of the Lewis line jitneys in
stead of his own car.

Tourists by Scores
At Lithia Auto Camp

Owing to uncertain weather which
prevailed up until the latter part Of
June, the auto tourist travel was not
heavy until July 1. Since the first
of the month, however, the tourists
are coming, sometimes as many as
thirty cars a day passing over the
highway loaded with camping out
fits. This in addition to the many
who put up at hotels. About half Of
the tourists stop at least overnight
at Ashland's Lithia Park auto camp,
and few, after getting a glimpse Of
Lithia Park, are able to resist the
temptation of prolonging their stay.
Many of the parties who start on trips
from valley points come as far as
Ashland for the first stop, and many
parties from California and Oregon
make Gorgeous Famous Spa" their
goal. Some of the fifteen parties
now camped at the auto camp have
been here for over week. While
the auto camp register naturally is
not signed by few of the campers,
a majority do sign, and the Tidings
will endeavor to publish a list OF the
tourists from time to time.
The register is fast filling up. The
many parties who visit the camp
merely to picnic not included, the

SHIPS TO DEFY ToRPEDoES
Our Future War Vessels VIII Be Proof
Against Them, Is Opinion
of Experts. -

Washington.-Future American bat
tleships will be able to survive the ex.
plosion of a single torpedo against
their hulls, regardless of where they
are struck, in the opinion of navy ex-
perts. Experiments which have been
in progress for more than a year have
demonstrated that two or more torpe-
does must find their mark before these
ships can be sent to the bottom.
The two. superdreadnaughts and
two battle cruisers congress has been
asked to authorize this year will be
designed on this plan. Battleships 43
and A have added interior construc-
.tion resulting from the study made OF
the question of torpedo defense since
the outbreak Of the European war,
but later ships will have even in
creased provisions in this regard.
The experiments are continuing and
officials expect further information on
the subject to be developed. Details
of the work are regarded as confiden.
tial, but 1t is known that some ex-
perts are hopeful that type of con-
struction will be evolved which will
greatly reduce the effectiveness of
either mines or torpedoes against
heavy ships.

turns over his. Office to prisoners who
have complaints. He hears the stories

Twice weekly the. commandant per-

beds housed under the great roofs OF
the. palace. These beds are neat and
clean, with four blankets and a soft
mattress for each.
There are eigL cooks for every
thousand prisoners. The food is pre-
pared and. taken to three sreat mess
rooms, each of which can compare
in floor space to the main lobby of
New Yorh's Grand Central station.
Here is: the food allowance, per man

white bread, one-half pound of meat.
