officers eleven will meet on the grid
iron at the Hilltop on December 8

fit of the camps athletic fund. This

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. believes in aiding
the soldier camp funds. He has
given, free of charge, the use OF
Forbes Field, ths palatial home OF
the taiI-end Pirates, for the big foot
ball game between Glenn s. War
ner's University Il Pittsburgh eleven
and the team from Camp Lee, Peters,
burg, Va, Com0OFed almost wholly
OF college men from western Penn
sylvania- The game will be played
on December l,
"I am only too GLAD to find my
self OF some use 20 the young men
preparing for this bigger game across
the water" Dreyfuss is quoted as
saying "Ths small expense of car
ing for Forbes Pield is really too
minor for consideration"
In addition to giving the free use
Of Forbes Field to the management
Of the game, Dreyfuss has also pur
chased a box from which he Will wit
ness the struggle. The proceeds of
the game will go to the athletic fund
of the Camp Lee soldiers.

Shoe manufacturers are said to be planning to use various materials in making shoes next season. Leather, already close to prohibitive prices, is getting scarcer and more expensive. Cloths of different texture will be sub stituted and composition, in which rubber will be the base, is to be tried as soles. It is insisted, however, that we now have an abundant source of leather supply, if the tanners will avail themselves of it. The wood chuck's hide is said to make an excel lent leather, and there are millions of woodchucks. The man who makes this assertion claims to have had a pair of woodchuck shoes years afo, which wore wonderfully. The thing is worth looking into. Out of the conditions developed by the war many new in- dustries will surely emerge If the woodchuck can be made to serve mans needs there should be a welcome for him.

CONFLICTING RIGHTS.

It's human nature to be jealous
about ones own rights and very in
different TO those of anyone else. The
relations between. the automobile
drivers and the travelling public are
one OF these adjustments where there
is needless friction. Both classes
have certain legal rights, and GER
tatin standing founded en- common
courtesy.
The pedestrian is the weaker party
and entitled to an extra-legal con-
sideration therefrom. The car is a
heavy weight propelled by an engine
powerful enough to turn the wheels
OF a mill. and it is capable Of doing
infinite damage. The driver has no
right to assume that everyone is &C.
ing to exercise perfect care all the
time.
Many people are deaf or near
sighted. Children are by nature
needless. They will run out from
behind standing vehicles and cross
streets Unexpectedly As we need
our children more than we need au-
tomobiles. the automobiles must fig
ure on their careless ways. Also old
er people are often absent-minded.
The motorist ought to be going 90

slowly through a business street that
he can stop if people do unexpected
things.
The pedestrian should realize that
a motor car is a big and rather un-
wieldly apparatus. The pedestrian
can stop instantaneously, but it may
take several yards to check the car
1t is much easier for the person to
stop and not try to dodge in front
than for the motorist to apply brakes,
throw out clutch, and then after the
person has passed to go through the
changes of gear necessary to recover
his speed.
AS more people ride in cars, the
viewpoint of both sides gets to be
better understood, and friction ought
to grow less. Unfortunately there is
a certain minority Of automobile
drivers who seem absolutely indiffer-
ent not merely to considerations Of
courtesy, but to public safety.

ASHLAND.

(By William Godfrey Taverner)
There's place in southern Oregon
that's the Eden of the world
A place that Nature smiled upon, her
wonders there unfurled.
The climate is unrivalled. all travel
ers this will say.
They never pass through Ashland
without wish to stay.
Nature was extravagant when she
made this perfect place;
She lavished all her riches, and none
there went to waste.
If you long for rugged mountains
don't go to Switzerland,
When there's Shasta and Mt. Ashland
standing close at hand.
Or if to verdant valleys your thoughts
would seem to turn,
No need to go to Ireland. Just come
mere ana learn
How lavishly are strewn the gifts OF
Nature in this part,
Rugged peaks and smiling valleys,
which. seem work of art.
Many lakes of beauty rare, among the
hills are hid;
Just come here and view them, and
you'll stay, like others did
There are countless miles of pine
trees not far away from town,
Making sweet and pure the breezes
that from the hills come down.
When the year is in the springtime
and the flowers are in bloom,
The air for miles Is scented by the
orchards sweet perfume.
Another great attraction is the park
of which they boast,
Well Judged to be the finest one on
this Pacific coast.
1t stretches for a mile or more, on
the banks of Ashland creek;
would describe its beauties, but
words are much too weak:
And as If these sylvan delights, of
which we've such a wealth,
We're not enough, Nature gave US still
another source of health.
Sparkling mineral springs of many
different kinds abound;
There, lithia soda, sulphur and other
kinds are found.
The city itself is known to be the
cleanest in the state,
In hygiene and in morals also, which
is hard to emulate.
So If you want place to live in,
that's complete in every way,
Just come and visit Ashland, and
we're certain that you'll stay.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The paper upon which this issue
OF the Tidings is printed cost four
times as much as the same sheet did
two years ago. At the present cost
OF white paper subscriptions yield no
profit whatever. The subscription
price will have to be raised to meet
the ever increasing price of paper.
We have hoped, and still hope, that
some way may be found to continue
the Tidlngs at So the year. How
ever. in order to do 1t there must be
no complimentary copies and no sub
scription losses. AS soon as the sub
scriptlon expires 1t must be discon-
tinued without delay, for experience
teaches that over 80 per cent OF de-
linquent subscriptions are never coll
lected. Therefore, we ask subscri5-
ers to respond promptly to the expir
alton notices when they are sent out,
for we are bound to adopt the rule
of disseminating all subscriptions up
on expiration Of the period paid for
unless promptly renewed. This rule
must apply to all subscribers to meet
the present cost of white paper If
paper continues to advance the price
will have to be raised. However, all
subscriptions paid in advance will be
supplied until expiration at the pres
ent price.

kiss. The person who would propose
the abolition Of kiss merely from
sanitary reasons must be so bloodless
and so forbidding of countenance that
kiss has no meaning to him-or
her.
Everybody nowadays has a whole
some horror Of microbes. Nobody
wishes to drink out of a public drink
ing cup with its myriad of germs.
Nobody wants flies to bring microbes
into the house on their feet.
But microbes, favored with youth
full passion and served in a scarlet
dish of ripe lips-who can deny him
self so delectable dish, and what
peril is too great for it?

SINCE MAMMALS GONE AWAY.

(By Mary Agnes Daily, Talent, Ore.)
Since mammals gone away
It's awful hard to play;
The tears fall from my eyes and nose
An splash upon my dolly's clothes.
My daddy says she's gone above
To play with angels bright,
An course I'm glad she's having fun
But sometimes in the night,
When daddy's looked me up to bed
An heard me say my prayers,
An cuddled me and tucked me in
An tiptoed down the stairs,
| wonder if the angels playing
Round Gods throne would miss
My mamma if she stoled away
An bringed my goodnight kiss.

Have you hammer toe? That IS
what the army and navy recruiting
officers want to know, in addition to
whether one has flat foot. For the
benefit Of those who are not familiar
with hammer toes, the doctors give
the information that it is a condition
wherein the muscles underneath the
toe contract, raising the toe so that
part of the weight is placed on the
end of the toe. A flat foot is where
the arches have broken and the un-
der surface Of the foot all touches
when walking. AS marching is part
of a soldiers business, hammer toes
and flat foot are tabooed.
