Changes in
Train Schedules

Sunday, November 4. the Southern
Pacific Company will change the train
schedules so that the time for arrival
and departure at Ashland will be
changed in nearly every instance.
Local train No. II, heretofore run
ming between Ashland and Portland,
will be discontinued. A new through
train, called the Oregonian, will take
its place, but on a different schedule.
Following is the time the different
trains will arrive at Ashland:
Going south: No. SO, 4:30 p. M;
No. Is, 1915 a. M; No. II (Shasta) j.,
4 a. m; No. 13, 11:20 a. m.
Going north: No. IA, 1925 m;
No. IL (Shasta), S:55 a. m; No. 16,
4:5O p. m; No. 81 (Oregonian), 6
p. m.
Those interested should cut this
out. The change will occur Sunday,

Better Investment
Than Deposit Box

The Liberty Loan of three billion
dollars will be fully subscribed, but
its success will not be dependent on
its being fully subscribed.
Like the first Liberty loan, it will
be successful only If it is substantial
ly oversubscribed and the money
comes from the right sources.
What are the right sources?
The best source is the idle money
now kept in safe deposit boxes and at
home At the same time the person
who has money in his safe deposit
box can immeasurably better his po-
sition by buying these government
bonds. He will receive per cent on
his money which is not earning any
thing now for him. He will lose
nothing in security.
The next best source is current saw
ings. This applies to the rich and
the poor. 1t is just as necessary for
you with an income of $4,000 a year
to subscribe for your share of the
Liberty bonds as it is for John D.
Rockefeller with his supposed income
Of 80 million dollars year to take
his proportion of the bonds out of
his current savings.
When you buy Liberty bond you
are saving a part of your income ex-
actly as If you deposited the money
in savings bank. You are helping
your country too. If you have a saw
ings account in the bank you can
transfer part Of it at least into Lib
erty bonds. The bank will not suf-
fer. Their deposits can not fail to
grow as increased Industrial activity
results in greater savings of en-
ployes.
1t is estimated by the comptroller
of currency that there are now more
than 10 million individuals and cor
porations in the United States in
position to subscribe from 500 to
$1OO,OOO,OOO cash to the new Liberty
loan..
Ninety-nine per cent of the men
and women of America can invest in
the Liberty bonds without being af-
fected by the income tax feature
which obtains in this a per cent loan.
You are one of these individuals.
Subscribe today for the Liberty loan
at your bank or with your employer.

Subscribe For
Liberty Bonds

Have you asked yourself the ques.
tion, Why should i subscribe for a
bond? Have you done the usual
thing in the case of affairs financial
-have you said, "Let the men with
money invest in the bonds?
If SO, you are not doing your
share, American man and American
woman. "a big loan will shorten
the war, will help to save life, and
will help to save civilization"
Every man, woman and child who
enjoys the blessings of this common
wealth should seriously realize that
he is unit of the whole. If we do
not contribute some portion at once
of the prosperity which our country
has made possible for us, we are not
doing our share to assist our allies,
and we may suffer a defeat which
will impose upon this country such
a conqueror's indemnity as will lose
our hard-won freedom for genera
tions. Do not forget that France paid
Germany an indemnity after 1871 of
about one billion dollars, and only a
short time before the present war
fully liquidated this indemnity loan
to their people.
1t is cheaper by far to win than to
be defeated.
There are over 100 million men,
women and children in this country,
of whom it is estimated that there
are more than 40 million persons en-
gagged in gainful occupations.
It is vitality necessary for each of
these 40 million persons to realize
the danger and the opportunity and
to subscribe a portion of his posses
sions to this Second Liberty loan of
1917.
During the war with Spain the
United States government sold $780,
100000 worth of bonds at 100 cents
on the dollar, which were oversub-
scribed seven times. and were quoted

dreds of these little places that serve
no real need. If they closed up, no
human want would be unsupplied.
Meanwhile the farmers are crying
for more help, and there is a short
age of labor in all departments.
In a way these little stands work
against public interest, because they
cut up the business into small units
that are not economically conducted.
Where business is concentrated into
a few well-advertised places, it is
done cheaper. Where it is widely
scattered in lot of small places it
costs more for each article sold.
These little stands and shops seem
to appeal to certain men of a rather
idle type. Perhaps some of them
have suffered accidents or are phys
ically unable to work. But the ma
jority look able bodied. They should
be hoeing corn or building ships or
making munitions.

TYPE AND EYE STRAIN.

DR.. A. E. Bostwick, librarian of the
st. Louis public library, has written
to the Yale Review complaining of
the small sizes Of type commonly
used in books. He thinks it is so
small as to create eye strain. He
has tried to get together in his
library a collection of large-type
books for tired eyes, as he calls it,
but can not secure any wide selection
Of volumes.
While there is some basis for this
complaint books are not printed in
nearly as small type as formerly
There was a time when standard nov
els we're printed in type that most
newspapers call small today. News
paper types are commonly larger
than formerly. It is no wonder that
people have eye troubles today, when
one thinks how the eyes of our faith
ers and mothers were strained in
reading those old volumes.
The evolution of type faces has
sometimes been governed more by
what printers called artistic appear
ance than by any attempt to make
types easy to read A prevailing
style of type some years ago had
quite fine lines, and though it was of
fairly good size, yet it would not take
much ink and the whole appearance
OF a page was grey. This must have
created eye strain.
OF recent years there has been a
tendency to the other extreme and a
great run of types having blunt faces.
This gives black appearance to the
page, which looks almost dazzling,
and 1t must create eye strain. An
other fad is to dispense with para
graph indentations. Some artistic
printers say this gives a better mass
effect, but 1t must bother both the
eye and the mind to have no sugges-
tion of a rest or break in the current
of the thought.
Designers of types should keep in
mind that the first aim is not to pro-
duce an artistic or sensational effect,
but to carry an idea to the mind with
the least effort to the eye that is pos
sible. A printed letter at best is a
minute object, smaller than the nat
ural human eye was meant to look at
for any length of time, and type can
not be made too clear and obvious.

FL Paso Sash and Door
Company Protecting It's
Plant Against Flames.

About a year ago the Fl Paso Sash
and Door company's manufacturing
plant burned TO the ground. as all II
Pasoans viii remember, causing a loss
in building machinery OF about
quarter Of a million dollars. In addi-
ton the loss from being out Of busi-
ness for many months was also eX-
tremeIy large.
The new plant OF the FL Paso sash
and Door company. which has Just
been completed, is one of the finest
and best equipped plants Of its kind
in the United States.

In endeavoring to avoid another
disastrous fire in the future the FL

found that fires can be avoided by in
stalling the famous Grianel Sprink-
