EXTRAORDINARY
PICTURE TONIGHT

To-day" the supreme dramatic
achievement of the screen, dapted
from the great stage play of the same
name. vividly portrays the selfish, un-
faithful strain in human nature typi-
fed by beautiful, selfish woman, and
the glory and beauty of unselfish man
kind by mother and father.
Fred Wagner. as played by Frank
Mills, is the typical American hus-
band, ambitious, striving at all times
to give his wife and parents every
luxury he can possibly afford. When
the crash comes, he anticipates that
his wife will sacrifice her beautiful
clothes and jewels temporarily to en-
able him to gather together the money
necessary for the payment of his
debts. When she refuses to do this,
honor bound he takes her jewels away
from her. Later she tries to satisfy
her craving for luxury and jewels
through a means unknown to her
husband.
The great climax to the picture is
reached when the husband learns the
method in which his wife has been
acquiring the beautiful clothes so
necessary to her adornment The
surprise twist of the photoplay is
reached by the method in which the
director has brought about the happy
ending, rehabilitating the mans for
tnues and bringing home to the wife
the error of her ways.

POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wei is the bit of Chinese ter
as a naval apd commercial base. 1t is
just across the breadth of the Shan
tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland,
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
of the machinery for a naval base are
located. Most of the civilian popula-
tion live on the mainland, and patron
ize a little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want to go shopping; for with an eye
to getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put in to coal, the
shops of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is a barren, sandy hill. ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa
ter has cut In its course to the sea.
The sand of these hills is one of the
omnipresent features of the colony !;
every wind that blows carries 1t about
by pounds, and only the cheapness Of
Chinese servants makes 1t possible to
keep European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
with a British post Office, a British
steamship booking Office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese shops. which are only opened
at certain seasons when visitors are
plenty, or when warship puts in to
the harbor.

LARGEST IN ITS HISTORY

This year Ashland has enjoyed the
greatest holiday trade in her his
tory. Shoppers took the better class
Of merchandise and bought freely in
all lines. The trend was toward use
full gifts, but much jewelry and toys
for children were carried away by
shoppers Ashland enjoyed a large
trade from outside districts. The
work she has been doing the past
three years to induce outside trade
to Ashland is showing results. Thous-
ands Of dollars came into our stores
last week from Northern California
and the trade from Medford and 9TH
er valley points was encou Paging.
Notwithstanding war conditions our
merchants entered the holiday trade
with complete and attractive stocks
and sold them at very reasonable
prices. People generally thruout
Northern California, as we'll as the
valley, are beginning to understand
that merchandising conditions here
are good and that the best bargains
to be found anywhere are offered in
Ashland.

WHY NOT LOCAL INDUSTRIES?

Frequently readers ask: why does
Ashland not 90 after industries. like
canneries, dryers and the like?"
Well, one Of the big reasons is that
Ashland is so isolated from profit
able markets that II does not seem
practicable for cannery operations
on large scale. Possibly dryers
might prove practicable as the pro-
cesses releases all water weight from
the fruit, reducing the item of trans
portation.
However. these enquiries bring to
mind these facts. Ashland has had
cannery for many years. 1t has
been under the management of sew
eral different persons, all claiming
to understand the business, but IL has
met with indifferent success. Some
say because the cannery cannot Sc
cure sufficient raw material and 9TH
ers because OF the differential in
freight rates which exclude them
from profitable markets.
Then the question arises how much
support does Ashland give the local
cannery? 1t is claimed the product
has always been high class, yet To-
cal grocery shelves are filled with
canned goods from other localities.
The merchants are not to blame for
that situation. II Is good business
Tor them to carry stock that the GUS
toners demand. Housewives who de-
sire Ashland to become city of in
dustries should insist on the home
processed commodity. We again arise
to announce that the best way to get
more and bigger industries is by
giving such support to those we have
as will allow them to grow big, even
until they cannot supply the demand,
then others will come. II is hard to
make manufacturing city out of a
Sears-Roebuck town. Local indus
tries do not thrive on profits made in
Chicago. 1t is up to the citizen,
Whatever else, local consumption Of
the output of the Ashland cannery
will absolutely overcome all trouble
arising from differential in freight
rates to profitable markets. viii you
be one to help overcome that differ
entail? Then demand the local pro-
duct.

the plant left and the needed addi-
tIonal domestic water after the bonds
we're all retired. And If we are
properly informed, not cent OF tax
need be levied to accomplish 1t.
At the rate now being paid from
the income of the plant the present
electric bond issue will all be can
celled in the next five years, so that
the first installment on the proposed
issue could be fixed to fall due after
the present issue is out of the way.
enabling the plant to pay double the
sum on the principle of the new is
sue each year, it now pays on the
old out of its income, without resort
ing to a tax levy to meet 1t.
We do not say, at this writing,
that We favor such new bond issue.
We have not looked into the matter
far enough for that. We simply pu.
the proposition up for consideration
of citizens. No doubt the council
will need to act on the new contract
soon and full examination should be
given the matter by citizens and their
Judgment expressed to council men,
bers before final action is taken.

THE LAW OF QUIEsCENCE

Scientists say we live in world
Of action. Not an atom in 1t is qul-
escent. The objects We call mani
mate, even, are always on the move.
Observe the wood in your window
frame. It is ever in motion. Its
atoms are constantly agitated by at
tractive and repulsive forces in rest
less readjustment. Quiescence is de-
cay. The moment an object comes
to perfect composure disintegration
begins.
The law of quiescence applies to
things animate and inanimate not
only, but to social organisms as we'll.
Communities are social units masse'l
together for the purpose Of gaining
comfort and pleasure and prosperity
by pooling individual effort and re-
sources. BY seeking repose they lose
health. They cannot stop and hold
together. They must move or disin-
tegrate. They must go forward or
fall back whether they will or not.
They cannot remain healthy and sta
tionary. Quiescence is decay. M
The Rogue river valley is just now
emerging from period of quies-
cence, From 1908 to 1911 1t grew
over active in speculation. Its units
got out Of proper relation and ad-
justment and values became inflated
Its action was artificial, its values
became so. Like taking strychnine
to stimulate the heart, an overdose
induced reaction and movement stop

II has taken several years to get
nav bearing-to get the atoms NOV
ing at a normal rate. In the mean
time community effort tried to re-
pose. As there is no standing still, It
fell back. Just lately the law we are
