THE BURDENS OF THE FUTURE

It's a common thought that the
present war will leave the future
generations of all the belligerent ma
tions crushed under the burdens fe-
queathed to them.
Economists, however, are saying
that when a war is over. its Cos: is
paid in full-that future generations
cannot pay a cent toward the cost CT
the war. This of course is regardless
of the question of indemnities.
Cannon don't shoot silver dollars
or even Liberty Bonds. They shoot
steel and fats and cotton.
The only way steel, fats and cot
ton can be obtained for the cannon
is by increasing production or by di-
yerting them from their ordinary us
es. In either case the supply of
peace-time articles used by the pub
lie is reduced. for to increase prOduc-
tiOn labor must be taken away from
less essential lines of work
In this sense the present generation
pays the cost of the war-pot in
money. but in the things it does with
out.
After the war some persons will
owe other persons lots of money. bGt
the world as a whole will have no
debts. It will have paid for the war
as it went alOng-paid in iron and
rubber and leather and cotton used
upon the battlefield.
While the new generation starts in
to build up the nations wealth again.
however, the nations must straighten
out their bookkeeping.
If nation neither pays nor col !
lects indemnities, and if it has floated /
its loans within its own borders, the /
problem is simply that of taxing the
taxpayers to pay the bondholders. I
Happy is the nation where both class
es coincide. for in that case there is |
no crushing burden on one set of peo-
pie for the benefit of another set.
With 25,0OO,0OO subscribers to
the Fourth Liberty Loan, this ma
tion is fortunate. During and after
the war this generation and tn next
will pay war taxes for the benefit of
the bOndholders. To safeguard your
self and your children. hang otto
your Liberty Bonds, and stay in t.e
class.

WOMEN WORK on SHIPS
Drive Cranes and Winches and Unload
Iron Bars.

Iuiltu
LONDON. Oct. ) CBy MaiD One of
the most remarkable developments
which the war has brought about is
the introduction of women workers in
the shipyards.
No industrial branch of work COM
prises a rougher or harder occupa-
ticn than the building of a large mer-
chant steamer. Women are now
working with riveters. heating the
rivets and carrying them to the men
who drive them home.
The speed with which the girls un-
load huge bars of iron from railway
wagons and wheel them away in bar
rows is a source of wonder TO the on
locker
Experienced girls even drive cranes
and winches--a nerve-racking Occu-
patton inasmuch as the lives of others
depend upon their actions.

Looking u Gift Horse in the Mouth.
One of the results of the campaign
for gifts books last spring was an
influx of reading material of the type
which careful mothers take pains to
remove from the environment of six
teen-year-old daughters. says the War

That the gift horse had to be in
spected carefully was demonstrated a
number of times. To one camp library
came copies of Zola's "L'AssommOi, :"
Daudet's "SaphO." and De Maupas-

From a reading room in a church
were sent copies of Snappy Stories.
An offer of file of the Undertaker's

Hotel Austin Opens
Under New Manager

beginning with the first of the
month the Hotel Austin received a
new proprietor. This is H. w. Laug-
enour of Seattle, an experienced hotel
man who has opend the house and
will operate it on its old-time basis.
The dining room which has been
closed to the public since the exodus
of A. A. Chisholm several months ago
is open, and the public may secure
meals regularly at this hostelry now.
Mr.. Laugenour is an affable, pleas
ant gentleman and has come to this
city with the intentions of making
its interests his, which bespeak well
for the accommodations he will offer
in his hotel. AS is usually the case,
the hotel business in Ashland is much
better in the summer when many
tourists pass through here or remain
for several days at a time, and 1t Is
expected that conditions will be much
improved with the complete opening
of the Hotel Austin.

Relief Fund Tries
TO Sell Pencils

A number of stationary dealers in
this city have received box of pen
ellis purporting to come from Amer
ica's Allies Cooperative committee"
an organization which is sending out
appeals for assistance from head
quarters in New York. The pencils
bear an imprint Of the recipient, and
accompanying them is letter sug-
gesting cooperation in raising funds
for aid of dependents of soldiers Of
the allied armies.
Newspapers throughout the state
have been taking up the question of
the authentity of this organization
and inquiries to the state council of
defense reveals that the Americas
Allies Cooperative committee is not
listed among the national war char
tiles, and that the work it proposes
to do is already one of the big tasks
of the American Red Cross. In an
investigation instituted by John X.
Kollock, secretary Of the state coun-
Gil of defense, it was found that this
committee was not even mentioned
as having come to the attention Of
the New York society.

CITY Crocers Will
Sell No Wheat Flour

Starting Tuesday Ashland went on
complete wheatless basis until next
harvest. This resolution has been
made by the local grocers and flour
ing mill in compliance with confer
ence with w. A. Folger, county chair
man of the food administration, who
is enlisting the entire county to save
on wheat flour for the country's
needs. While the matter had been
taken up with the county chairman
previous to this resolution and the
grocers in a resolution had pledged
themselves to encourage their patrons
to save on the use of white flour
as much as possible, later develop
ments put Jackson county on a strict
ly wheatless diet for the next month
or two, and the Ashland grocers inn
mediately fell in with the require
ments.
Chairman Folger issued the follow
ing notice to the local grocers as we'll
as elsewhere throughout the county:
To all flour merchants and millers
in Jackson county:
In accordance with the request re-
ceived today you are asked to sell no
more flour until July /, except to log
ging camps, bakeries holding licenses
and hospitals.
Arrangements will be made to ac-
cept and pay for all flour, probably
this week.
Meetings of merchants and millers
will be held in various parts of the
county this week, soon as it can be
arranged. w. A. FOLGER,
County Administrator.
The sale of war bread containing
60 per cent wheat flour is not pro-
hibited, neither is the sale of gra-
ham and whole wheat flour as long
as the present supply on hand lasts.
After this is exhausted, no more will
be forthcoming.

German Drive Checked At All
Points Along Front By Allies

German masses no longer hurl
themselves at the allied lines along
extended fronts. The momentum Of
the Teuton advance of last week ap-
pears to have exhausted itself in
striking the yielding lines of the
French and British, which now have
stiffened and are holding the foe eX-
cept for insignificant gains here and
there, especially along the front run
ming south from the neighborhood
from Scissors to Chateau Trierry.
The struggle apparently is changing
from a war of movement to a war o.
position.
Official reports show that the Ger
mans are launching their assaults on
Chezy, Corey and near Demmieres,
isolated point of vantage. These at
tacks were, roughly from five to
seven miles apart along the line
which includes ground where the
Americans have established them
selves and have fought the Germans
to a standstill. The French official
statement says the Teuton attacks
were all repulsed.
The report Of operations along the
British front fails to show any not
able activity on the part of the Ger
mans. At Morlancourt between the
Ancre and the Somme, south of AL
bert, the Germans supported by a
heavy artillery attempted to raid the
British positions, but were repulsed
leaving prisoners behind.

American units have taken part show
