What Good Advertising Does.

Thursday, all day, the crowds
surged in and out Of the Ashland
Trading Company's store despite
clouds and rain. In Mondays It'd
ings the Trading company had ad-
vertised its final sale in double
page ad, and the crowds which re-
sponded today amply support the
claim Of the Tidings that it goes into
nine out of every ten homes in Ash
land and its trade territory. II
looked like customer from nearly
every home in Ashland.
The Trading company sale has been
from the first in prices
that move the goods. The sales man
ager, Mr.. Nat G.. Kaufman, is an ex-
pert in his line and is an adept at
stock as we'll as in letting
the people know. He probably knows
better how to lay out an attractive
ad than any sales manager who has
ever visited the Rogue River valley.
The Trading company has given the
people some splendid values, and by
the first of January the stock will
have been cleaned out.

County Clerk Has
Big, Job Before Him

County Clerk Gardner's staff is
busy preparing to mail out the war
department questionnaires in connec-
tion with the coming second draft for
military service to the 1,400 or more
Jackson county young men registered
for the draft. The missionaries.
which are enclosed in government
franked envelopes, will not be mailed
until December Is. Included with
the questionnaires are return envel-
opes, also franked, In which the
blanks are to be returned to the local
board after they have been filled out.
1t Is the plan Of the local county
draft board to mail out only one
twentieth of the Jackson county
questionnaires on December Is and
one-twentieth on each day thereafter
until the entire 1,415 have been put
in the mails. This is done so as to
avoid congestion in the postoffices
and on the carrier routes, and a con-
gestion of work in the board office
in connection with the returning of
the questionnaires.
