Decides Ashland
Will Suit Him Best

Los Angeles Examiner: When G.
f. Stewart of Billings, Mont, leased
his ranch for three years last Septem-
ber he decided to make very thor
ough survey of tho rapching possibili-
ties of the Pacific slope before he
bought another place. Consequently.
he loaded his Dodge with complete
camping outfit and, accompanied by
his wife, set out to look for the new
ranch. He stopped in Los Angeles
last week for a few days with his
search still incomplete, though the
speedometer on the Dodge showed
that he has Travelled 1900 miles in
his hunt for his new place.
From Billings Mr.. Stewart followed
the Yellowstone Trail to Spokane,
Wash, going from there to Columbia,
Ore. and turning north to Tacoma
and south again to Portland, Ore.
From Portland he Travelled down the
Pacific Highway to Los Angeles,
reaching here early in November.
From Los Angeles the Dodge was
headed for San Diego, and not having
been satisfied yet, Stewart visited the
Imperial Valley, went to Arizona by
the Yuma road, and into New Mexico
to the Little Pecos valley. Still un-
suited, they returned by the northern
route and again reached Los Angeles
last week
~ would certainly recommend any
one else who is going to buy a ranch.
and who can spare the time and mon
ey, to look around, Just as we did"
said Mr. Stewart last week. CIT HAS
BEEN A WONDERFUL TRIP, AND
WE HAVE MADE UP OUR MINDS
THAT THE COUNTRY AROUND
ASHLAND, ORE, WILL SUIT US
BEST"

THE MOTIVE FOR ENLISTMENT.

Appeals for enlisting in the navy
army and National Guard are being
issued by the federal government and
many of the states. The effort to
get recruits is not now, and for years
the government and the militia have
heen working for more men. An
elaborate system of recruiting offices
is maintained Although men are
coming forward much better than
they did, they are not being received
in the numbers needed
The newspapers can help by set
ting forth the good reasons why
young men should enlist. These ar
suments arc read in cold blood. and
men don't always act on logic and
argument. They wait until the lead
ers of Their own crowds act. and they
come forward with a rush It takes
the enthusiasm and spirit Of popu-
lar movement TO bring them on.
Unmarried mon owe something to
their country at time like this.
They have had the blessings Of free
and democratic institutions. Life
he's been made easy for them by pop
ular government. While in other
countries they would he set at grind
ing toll at a prccocious age, enfee-
bling them physically and dwarf'ng
them mentally. in our land they get
the chance to go to school and to
make good in life. These blessings
are the result Of the sacrifices and
heroisms of those that went before
Every generation has It's own
problems TO solve and the young men
must solve them. II there is danger
OF a foreign war the young men must
stand in tho gap as their fathers
stood before them To do less than
that is stacking and shlrking

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF TIME
ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS.

Some men offer as an excuse for
their failure to accomplish certain
results, or to enjoy certain advan-
tages, that they haven't time"
The trouble is that so many men
try to do several things at once and
in the scramble overlook something
Frequently, the item overlooked is
one of the most important.
The man who makes things hap
pen and achieves great results usu-
ally does one thing at time, closes
the transaction, then takes up an
other in logical order, and by careful,
efficient planning manages to get
everything done on schedule and
have time left.

Marshfield Record: Deputy Asses
sor Charles DUNCAN, who was in the
West Fork territory recently, above
Allegany, heard while there astonish-
ing reports Of destruction of deer by
wildcats and panthers. Peter Michel
BRINK, who is rancher in that neigh
borhood. had seen the carcasses Of
five deer that had been killed by an
imals. The ranchcrs say nobody
takes any interest these days in hunt
ing down varmints because Of the
very low bounties paid. For wildcats
the county pays only 81 and the
ranchers believe the county should
place the bounty at the old figures,
IS, and this they claim would arouse
more interest among hunters. The
farmers on the West Fork say the
country has more deer than for any
season in years.

The unattached young man who is
in a position to serve his country

look back on his course with any
satisfaction. He may have avoided
some little risk, but he may be TAX
