THE HOME MERCHANTS
SERVICE

The home store is one of the con-
veniences and public services Of the
town. A place may have good streets,
schools, and lights, yet II Its stores
are behind the game, the whole COM
munity suffers. The public is incon-
venienced and put to serious expense
to supply itself with necessities.
There are some people who always
patronize distant stores for all i'm
portant purchases. But in an eme-
gency, the run to the home store
with some trifling order, Then they
blame the merchant if he does not
have as complete stock as metro
politan store would carry.
Such people are not doing their
share to build up their home com
munity. They are pursuing a policy
which II adopted by everyone would
affect valuation of all real estate and
impair the facilities for good com
munity living. The merchant can do
his share toward making this an up
to-date town only by the spirit of
loyal support from his townspeople.

THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES THINGS
GO.

Ashland has caught the spirit that
makes things go. The demonstra-
tion on the streets following an
nouncement of the successful raising
OF the preliminary funds for the
roundup was a spontaneous burst OF
that spirit. Now that the roundup
and celebration plans are under way,
the city seems 70 have again become
permeated with that combination OF
civic pride, unselfishness and hospi-
tally which put across" the celebra-
tion last year in a manner which
sent thirty thousand people away sat
isfies. With tho realization OF what
the celebration means to the city,
which means more funds to work
with, and with the benefit of the ex-
perience gained last year, nothing
can prevent a greater and better cele-
bration. The mark should be set at
total attendance OF $1,000 for the
three days Considering the adver-
tising which last years success
brought, this mark may he too low.

portance wore fathered and put
through both houses by Mr.. Sheldon.
One removed the minimum from the
indeterminate sentence law and sub
stituted provision which allowed
the trial judge to indicate the sever
ity of punishment merited by the
nature of the crime and circum-
stances surrounding its commission,
facts known best by the trial judge
and not easily obtainable later by the
parole board.
The other measure removed the
warden Of the penitentiary and the
parole officers from the parole board.
1t had been found in practice that
prisoners expect a parole as soon as
they have served their minimum, and
think that their failure to obtain
same is due to the attitude of warden
and parole officer, hence these Of
ficers come in for large amount of
Ill feeling on the part of convicts.
Sheldon's measure, removing them
from the board. does away with this
element of friction.
Sheldon introduced a total Of nine
eight of which became
laws.

herself to US in e marvellous way. All
who knew her were influenced by her
heart and Christian womanhood. Her
work in Ashland was short, but her
Influence will never be lost. The
church is far better for having known
her for even this brief time. Her
Christian spirit brought about com
munity feeling which will mean much
to US even though she has left us.
We have lost our friend, but our
prayer is that her influence may last
with us and lead us both closer to the
Heavenly Father who has taken her
to himself to live with him forever
and forever.
Very respectfully,

LEISURE TIME.

Leisure time is comparatively
modern invention. The old-timers
never had any leiusre. They worked
longer hours than we do. Factories
used to run eleven and twelve hours
a day. Farmers would get up at
O'Clock and work until dark.
Clerks, merchants and profession
ally men used to run their own back
yard gardens. Many mon receiving
large incomes were not averse to
raising potatoes and beans in the
home lot They had become accus-
toned to counting the pennies, and
besides they thought the active work
was good for their health.
Today working hours are gradual
ly growing shorter. Many people get
Saturday afternoon. The eight-hour
and the ninc-hour days are becom-
ing common. There are great
many people who can have their ev-
ening meal promptly at o'clock,
leaving a good long evening free for
other pursuits.
Hundreds OF thousands of these
people. whose fathers as aforesaid
used to take up the shovel and the
hoe at that hour, are now out spin
ming around in their automobiles.
Many of the young people are simply
promenading up and down the towns,
thronging the refreshment stands
and cycling the other sex.
This great change in the habits Of
our people Is not wholly dccadence.
II does mark a decline of that old |
resoute spirit that founded fortunes
and developed savings bank ac-
counts. But leisure time is valuable
II used well. The hours an indoor
worker spends on outdoor sport are
often the most valuable of the twen-
ty-four.
Only the time ought not be spent
Simply drifting around the
streets develops no muscles and lays
no foundations for future success If
many people this summer would
spend It in raising potatoes, they
would stand a better chance Of bust
ness success. But whether spent in
labor OF sport, some definite end Of
or physical advancement
ought to be held in view.

Ex-Governor Moody.

Ex-Governor Zenas F. Moody, faith
er OF z. A. Moody of Ashland, died
Wednesday night at Salem.
Shortly following the death Of his
wife, March l, 1915, he was stricken
with paralysis and he had been con-
fined TO his home most of the time
ever since. His condition became
critical Saturday. Despite his ad-
vanced years, he was in possession
of his mental faculties until the end
came.
Zenas Ferry Moody was born in
CRANKY, Mass. May 81 1882, and
reached Oregon in 1851. He had q
common school education in the east
prior to his coming west In 1852 by
way of Panama. He married May
Stephenson in Brownsville, Ore, No
vember 10, 1853.
His connection with the public life
Of Oregon dates from a few years
after he reached the state. He was
government surveyor for a time
and then engaged in the transporta-
tion business in Idaho and Montana
He was member of the house OF
representatives In the Oregon legisla
ture and its speaker in 1SS0-1SS2.
He was governor of Oregon from
1883 to 1887 and delegate to the
republican national convention in.
Chicago in 1888. He made his home
at The Dalles for number of years
but more recently his home had been
at Salem.
Ex-Governor Moody was a pioneer
of 1852. He came to Oregon by way
of Panama with the late Stephen F.
Chadwick, who later was also gov
ernor of Oregon, succeeding Governor
Grover when tho latter went to the
United States senate.
In early days Governor Moody ell
gagged in the general merchandise
business in The Dalles and later in
Umatilla. He also operated steam
boats in the Occur d'Alene district.
He removed to Salem in 1882,
when he was elected governor, and
had lived there ever since. Mrs.
Moody died two years ago. Since
then the ex-governor had been i'll.
Governor Moody is survived by the
following children: Malcolm A.
Moody of The Dalles, zcnas A. Moody
of Ashland, William H. Moody Of
Shaniko, and Ralph e. Moody of
Portland. A daughter, Mrs. E. p.
Mccormack died several years ago.

COUNTY ROAD MONEY FOR
BRANCH ROADS.

z. j. Adams called attention 10
two features of the state road bonds
measure which should remove the op.
position Of the property owner who
lives five to fifty miles away from
the main highways which will first
be improved by the bills.
The main objections offered by the
property owner back in the hills are,
Why should my property be taxed
TO build those main highways which
do not use often if at sll?" and
What benefits can come to me?"
Mr.. Adams answers that in the
first place the property of the state
will not be taxed for the bonds, auto
mobile licenses more than caring for
the bonds, both interest and princi-
pal. Even should all the automobiles
in the state he swept into oblivion
instead OF increasing in number
(Which seems more likely in view of
the 33 1-3 per cent increase In the
past two years., the tax would at no
time approach one mill at the maxi
mum and would average about a
half mill But unless the property
owner back in the hills owns a car,
he will not be contributing a cent to
the road bill, and if he does own
car he will have to pay the same
license, road bill or no road bill.
Secondly, and more important, is
he fact that should the state relieve
he county of the financial burden Of
the main highways, the
county court can then devote county
money to the development of the
branch thoroughfares of the county.
Take Jackson county, for instance.
IN the past few years most Of the
county road money. including the big
SOuuly DOHu lSouc, ud5 6Ouc luIO luO
Pacific Highway, which is right
enough, but at the same time bene-
Its the residents Of the settled por-
ions far more than those miles back
rom the main highway. Should the
bond issue pass, the grading and
paving of the remainder of the Pa
,ific Highway is specifically provided
Tor in the measure and would be
lone from the state bond money, thus
relieving the county from further ex-
penditure. Then the county can
spend its road money on the country
roads tapping the various communi-
ties lying tributary to the main high
way.
Hence the property owner in APP
plegate valley. for instance, will not
have to pay taxes to pay for the
bonds, and will stand better chance
Of having county road money expend-
ed on the roads in the Applegate val
ley.

BEN SHELDON.
(By Ebert Bede in Cottage Grove
Sentinel)

! Sentinel.)
Ben Sheldon is one OF those happy
combinations which make a first
class legislator. He has been In pub
lie life long enough to know that il
is we'll not to talk on every bill, yet
he has had the experience which
gives him the necessary confidence
and force when on the floor. Con-
nected with commercial club work
for years, his vision is large as to
the things this great state of ours
needs, yet he has had the experience
to make him sensibly conservative.
A good mixer, d good fellow in the
most refined definition of that ex-
preston, he makes friends quickly,
retains them indefinitely and never
forgets them. Jackson county had
three of the ablest members of the
recent house and Ben Sheldon was
one of these. Mr.. Sheldon demon
strated considerable ability as a pre-
siding officer, being frequently called
to the chair. If memory serves me
correctly, he and DR.. Anderson were
both called to the chair eight times,
they being the only members honored
TO that extent.
Sheldon made speciality of educa-
+ional subjects. Two Of his measures
are Of large importance to the educa-
-ional situation in the state. One Is
a measure placing before the people
for their vote proposal for two
more normal schools, one in eastern
Oregon and one at Ashland, southern
Oregon. The other removes the
qualification heretofore ap-
plying In the school elections, and |
was recently termed by the Portland |
Telegram as "the most constructive |
step in educational lines |
taken In Oregon in many years."
This measure, fought through both
houses by Nj. Sheldon, has been pre-
,ented to five preceding legislatures
and defeated each time.
Two other measures of large i'm
