OUR CHRISTMAS EDITION.

With great satisfaction the Ash
land Printing Company gives this
Christmas edition of the Tidings to
the public. 1t is the largest, most
artistic newspaper edition ever pub
lished in Ashland. The three-colored
cover not only is a work Of art, but
Is an exceedingly expensive piece of
printing to be attached to a newspa-
Per in a city the size Of Ashland. We
are proud of it.
As an indication OF the prosperity
and enterprise of the merchants of
Ashland, 1t may be stated that by
November 80 every inch CT available
display advertising space for this edi-
ton was sold and many merchants
we're deprived of display space be-
cause the paper had already grown
as large as the Tidings' equipment
could handle
Ashland has enjoyed great pros
perity this fall, partly from the re-
sort enterprise, which has caused the
city to be well filled with newcomers,
and partly from the fact that Ashland
merchants are giving such bargains
as has drawn the trade from a wide
area in southern Oregon and north
ern California, In many lines almost
as much business is done through
mail orders from outlying districts
as comes into the stores through To-
cal trade. This is gratifying and in
dicates the confidence engendered by
the fair dealing of our merchants.
The year just closing has been the
most prosperous year in the history
of the Tidings. 1t has done $4,000
more business than in any previous
year. Its circulation is greater by
far than at any other period For
all OF which we thank the good peo-
pie OF Ashland. We have tried to
make a GOOD newspaper We have
tried to be fair with every individual
and every enterprise. We feel the
unprecedented patronage indicates
that We have in measure succeeded
The circulation of the Tidings now
covers large area--far wider than
ever before That adds new respons-
jbilities. We shall strive to bring
closer together the citizens of the
several communities. The interest
and advancement of each individual
should be the common concern of
all, and together that broad spirit
should engender greater community
prosperity The Tidings will con-
tinue to strive to forward that close
and friendly relation between the
communities Of this section.

that they will be able to stage a bet
ter show than has ever been seen be-
fore in southern Oregon or northern
California. The Hyiu Hehe commit
tee is planning more varied and high
merited attractions for the coming
celebration. During the Fourth Of
July festival this year Ashland will
be bower of beauty and life by day
and fairyland by night.
Ashland, by making herself beau
tiful and charming, is determined to
attract not only tourists from afar,
but to build up intimate relations
with her neighbors. With this in
view Ashland merchants will add ma
terially to their already large and
varied stocks and special prices will
be made for the shopping seasons.

Measles In Talent
Close the Schools

An epidemic Of measles has brok-
en- out in Talent which, while not as
suming serious nature, is being
dealt with in a thorough manner to
allay the contagion. The schools
have been closed for the present, and
churches and all public gatherings
will be dispensed with until the con-
tagion is over. A dance announced
to take place Friday evening was
postponed on account of the epi-
demic. Six or eight cases have been
reported so far, but no serious i'll
ness exists.

ASHLAND AS A SHOPPING
CENTER.

The growth in shopping trade from
outside communities the past two
years has shown that the merchants
of Ashland are selling goods for less
money, quality for quality, than any
other trading point in southern Ore
gon or northern California. Ash
lands mail order trade has grown
with leaps and bounds.
Ashland merchants generally are
recognizing the value of the mail or
der department and are organizing
for better service along that line.
Ashland generally is feeling more
fully the benefits derived by the city
from neighboring visitation. More
of our neighbors have visited us dur
ing the past two years than ever be-
fore. They have been charmed by
our beautiful park and cool, shady
places. For many years Ashland has
been known as the ideal place to live,
with little commercial pretentions,
Lately she has been expanding in the
commercial line, Her stocks are
larger and more varied than ever be-
fore. Better bargains are on the
shelves of her merchants. The Busi-
ness Mems Association is planning
big things for the future. The
Roundup Association is throwing out
its lines for great attractions for next
July 9rd 4th and 5th, and are GER
tain now. deSnite the war conditions.

City Nav Observe June 5 as Holiday;
Questions About Army Are Unanswered

officials have been deluged with ques-
tons concerning army organization.
The Palladium is also in receipt of
several such inquiries.
A physician asks the grading of the
commissioned officers of the army.
Answer: The highest officer is a
general. His subordinates are, in the
order named, lieutenant general, ma
jor general, brigadier general, colonel,
lieutenant colonel, major, captain, first
lieutenant and second lieutenant. A
company is commanded by captain
and under him are first lieutenant
and second lieutenant. There are
four companies to a battalion, COM
manded by major, and there are
three battalions to regiment, the
regiment being commanded by the
colonel with lieutenant colonel as
second in command.
Asks About War Strength.
A business man asks the formation
of various army units and the war
strength OF a company of infantry,
troop of cavalry and battery of artil-
lery:
Answer: War strength Of a COM
pany of infantry is approximately 1865
officers and enlisted men; cavalry
troop, approximately 100 officers and
men: artillery battery, approximately
200 officers and men. There are twelve
companies to an infantry regiment,
twelve troops to cavalry regiment
and six batteries to an artillery regi-
ment.
Army organization begins. in the in
fantry and cavalry, with the company
and troop, respectively. There are
twelve companies, or troops, to each
regiment. Three regiments compose
a brigade, three brigades compose a
division, and three divisions compose
corps.
The new army brigade will probably
compose three infantry regiments with
a complement of cavalry, field artil-
lery, engineers, signal corps troops,
ambulance and hospital units, and
transportation troops.

JAPAN DRAWS
COLD RAPIDLY
FROM AMERICA

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Japan is
Withdrawing gold from the United
States at rate which has caused con-
siderable interest and some specula-
ton as to the meaning of the move
ment. approximately $35. 100000 has
been withdrawn since January l, and
other Withdrawals are expected In the
near future.
Officials here feel that the move
ment is not fully accounted for by the
balance of trade. The possibility that
some of the other allied governments
are paying their munitions bills to ia
pan with gold in this country, made
available by the extension Of credits
by this government, has been discuss
ed, but it is believed that this contin-
gency likewise would not account for
the strong current of gold shipments
westward.
Cost Mounts Rapidly.
The gold supply at San Francisco
from which shipments to Japan are
made. has at present reached a point
where the government has decided
that the cost of transferring gold
across the country properly should
Uc UOTH6 Dy tuS Coto lGlCuOlAS W
ship it out of the country. In addi-
ton the retention here of the increas-
ed gold supply largely accumulated
during the war is regarded as highly
desirable and it's expectation is dis
uraSed
Treasury officials under existing
laws have no power to prohibit the ex-
portation of gold, but must redeem
gold certificates with gold. The law
prohibits that this shall be done in
Washington and the redemption Of
such certificates at subtreasuries in
the past has been purely through
courtesy and for convenience OF Dsnk-
ers. Should the heavy export move
ment of gold continue it is possible
that the government may discontinue
the redemption Of certificates at sub
treasures and redeem them only at
Washington where the gold thus with
dawn is intended for export.

Richmond will probably join in a
state wide movement to observe Tues
day, June 5, consumption registration
day as a public holiday. with a sus.
pension of all business activities.
Mayor Robbins is prepared to take
any action that Governor Goodrich
recommends, and it is believed the
governor will issue a proclamation
calling upon the citizens of Indiana to
observe CONSUMPTION registration day
as patriotic holiday.
Members of the Wayne county board
of consumption, Sheriff Carr. County
Clerk Kelly and County Health Com
missioner DR.. Kruger, are now being
kept busy answering questions rela.
tive to registration for CONSUMPTION.
All Males Must Register.
In answer to these inquiries 1t can
be stated that under the recently
enacted federal CONSUMPTION law all
males who are 81 years of age and
who are not yet 81 years of age must
register on June at the place of reg
istration provided for their precinct.
Even cripples, public officials, men
who are confined to their homes by
illness, inmates at the insane hos
pital and prisoners must be registered
If they are between the ages of Fl and
81 years.
Inmates of the insane hospital of
military age will be listed for regis
tration by the superintendent of the
institution The sheriff and chief OF
police will list prisoners in the county
and city jails Men of military age,
who are prevented by illness, infirmi-
ties and injuries, from presenting
themselves at places of registration
on June 5, must be registered by 9th
er people acting as their personal rep
resentatives.
Provides for Absentees.
OF course the government will later
exempt men of military age who are
not competent to serve as soldiers, for
the law is plain in setting forth caus-
es which are recognized as exemp-
tions from service. Men who are alb
sent from their place of residence on
registration day must register with
in six days thereafter by mail or in
person.
With the registration Of all men Of
military age throughout the country
On June D, work VIII De started as
soon as possible listing the registered
men who are eligible for service. This
will take some time and it is not
probable that the men, who are to be
conscripted, will be called to the col
ors before September

STATUS OF BOXING,
WORRIES PROMOTERS

NEW YORK. May 25.-The status
of professional boxing in New York
state after November Is is causing
promoters of bouts and owners of box
ing clubs considerable worry these
days.
When Governor Whitman signed the
Slater bill at Albany recently it mark.
ed the beginning of the end of the
Frawley law which, since July, 1911.
permitted the holding of ten-round
glove contests in the State of New
York in legally licensed clubse. The
Slater bill which will wipe the Frawley
law off the state statutes next Novem-
Der is expected to leave the legal issue
as to the holding of glove fights in
New York state just where it stood
prior to the passage of the Horton
law, twenty-one years ago.

recess, Premier Lloyd George said he
was not in a position to give a definite
reply as to the composition OF the

'It is very important that the repre-
