FOR SALE OR TRADE
TO ASHLAND PROPERTY OWNER

70 ASHLAND PROPERTY OWNERS
You have house and lot close in
that YOU are continually paying taxes
on and perhaps cannot get insurance
on it because il is vacant, its probably
in bad condition and you have not had
any revenue from it for a long time;
YOU forget it until the tax collector re-
minds YOU of another year gone by and
then YOU grumble about the high taxes
and hard times and you can't trent this
or YOU can't sell that and Ashland IS
no good and you are going back where
YOU came from, etc. Now listen, We
know party who owns small piece
of acreage one mile and two-tenth from
the postoffice-no, it's not in the city
gimits-he has a comfortable FIVE room
bungalow, garage, barn, sheds, and
say, he has his own water system, two
wells, one for domestic purposes, the
other for irrigating, but he hasn t time
with his other duties to properly care
for this and he wants to trade 1t for
that vacant, rundown, expensive place
of yours and thereby get something he
can teke care of and at the same time
give you a chance to realize rental
or revenue from the place he now lives
in and he is not going to leave Ashland
either, having regained his health here
after paying doctor bills for eight years
before coming here. If interested in
this address letter to Box X, in care
of the Tidings office. 2l.tf.

Fruit and Farm
Killing Birds

There is said to be this summer
among ignorant classes of people a
perfect orgy for killing birds. The
high price of meat constitutes an
added temptation. The fact that
Mr.. Robin and Mr.. Bluebird have
sweet songs does not deter them.
They smack the pot pie in their hun
CRY lips, also the dollars the game.
dealers will pay.
Meanwhile we are trying in this
country to raise an increased food
supply to win this war. We have
planted much more land than usual.
The pests are increasing proportion
ately. There will be bug for every
stalk of corn and hill of potatoes.
But the birds which are the protec-
ton against pests do not increase
proportionstely. In fact it seems
likely that with this free killing they
will decrease. Big crops can't be
raised under these conditions.
Protection of bird life is a part
of the war game. Let police officers
get after bird killers as one of our
most insidious enemies. The place
for the man who wants to do any
shooting is IN, the trenches.

The Unexpected Happens.

Remember, don't you, what Bob Bur
dette, the humorist, said about that
military fop he laughed at on one occa-
sion?
Clean, well pressed uniform, gloved
hands, flowing cravat, polished boots!
This young cavalry officer was direct
ing the unloading of a cargo of army
supplies.
l heard Burdette say he thought 1t
a crime to intrust his own life to the
leadership of such a bandb0x soldier.
But a little later, when the Confed-
crate horsemen appeared, this Union
dandy electrified his own men as,
mounted upon a fine steed and with
flashing sword, he led the charge.
1t was George A. Custer!
We have biblical authority for this
Judge not according to the appear
ance." ."-Girard in Philadelphia Ledger

Household Hints

To relieve q cold in the head place
piece of camphor in an old saucer
set it alight and after burning a few
moments blow out the flame and in
hale the fumes.
A simple remedy for neuralgia is
to apply grated horseradish, prepar-
ed the same as for table use, to the
temple when the head or face is af-
fected, and to the wrist when the pain
is in the arm or shoulder.
After washing hair brushes in
soda water they should be held under
cold water tap This hardens the
bristles and makes them last much
longer than IL they were just rinsed
in warm water.
To remove stains from wallpaper
mix little grated pipeclay with
enough water to make a smooth
paste; spread this over the stain and
leave FOR ~ hours, AfterWard scrape
1t off with a paper knife or other
blunt instrument, and brush with a
soft brush.
To remove paint from dress take
a camel-hair brush dip the point of
1t in terpentine, and dampen the
stained parts, Let the garment dry
and then rub briskly when the paint
will fall off in the dust.
After a room has been painted an
excellent way to remove the smell
of the paint is to place pail Of
water to which is added few slices
of raw onion and leave It there over
night. Keep the doors and windows
closed and the smell will be entirely
gone by morning.

History of "stepmother,r

"Stepmother' is word with a COM
monty unsuspected history. Probably
most people If called upon to explain
it would say that it meant a woman
who had stepped into the place of the
true mother. Dr. Johnson, at any rate,
believed that this was the suggestion
of the word to most minds. Really
"step" is the Anglo-Saxon "steop,' the
original meaning of which appears to
have been Orphaned" Stepchild, step
BARN, stepson and step daughter come
first, and then by gradual fading OF
the genealogical meaning of step
stepfather and stepmother came into
being.-London opinion.

What is Good Gasoline?


In an article dealing with the bur-
eau of mines tentative gasoline spec
ifications. Oildom for March, 1917,
says, "In these specifications gravity
is omitted entirely as basis for
test. volatility being the basis prop
perty for determining the grade and
usefulness of gasoline.
volatility is just another term for
boiling points" said C. H. Hamilton
district sales manager Standard Oil
company in discussing these propos-
ed specifications
Motor fuel efficiency depends on
the boiling points or volatility Of the
gasoline, just as the bureau Of mines
indicates. These boiling points must
be in a continuous chain, an un-
broken, gradually rising series-low
boiling points for easy starting, me-
dium boiling points for quick and
smooth accsleration, high boiling
points for power and mileage.
Needless to say, gasoline having
this correct series of boiling points
cannot he made by mixing or blend
ing. There are too many intermed-
late points to he provided to make
an unbroken chain. On the other
hand, in straight refinery gasoline,
the continuous chain of boiling points
is developed naturally during distil-
lation."

Medford Mail-Tribune: Saturday
was the best and biggest day of the
season at the public market. There
was a large supply Of vegetables,
produce and fruits, which were clos
ed out early to the many customers.
There was a big demand for red resp
berries, but none were to be had and
there will probably be no more this
season. Last Thursday the last of
the Applegate raspberries were sold
in the market.
