THE ROUNDUP

The Roundup, the past three
years, brought fifty to seventy-five
thousand people to Ashland. They
left nearly two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in ready cash. But,
greater benefit still, they marveled
that such great crowds could be
brought together in such a small
city. They were pleased with our
entertainment and astounded that
everyone was so well taken care of
in such rush. The common COM
ment Of visitors ran like this: ASH
land is coming to; that sort OF spirit
cannot fail; she is bound to make a
fine city," and the like. 1t is no
small matter what people think of a
city. That is the reason Ashland is
better this year than she has been
in ten.
Possibly, as some contend, the
Roundup fits better a community
like Pendleton. Maybe conscience
does not altogether approve Of such
wild sport. Yet, its benefits are evil
dent and its drawbacks few. One
fine thing about 1t, IL We do not en-
Joy that kind of sport we can leave
our seat to those who do and employ
ourselves with some equally benefit
cent undertaking along entirely diff
ferent lines. We are all inclined to
be reformers. Newspapers reform
the women; the women reform the
preachers and the preachers reform
the newspapers. 1t is hardly within
the puny power of any of us to re-
form the world and bring it to our
way of thinking so let us view many
things as general community bene-
fits, realizing that in human society,
as now constituted, the commercial
side of life cannot be ignored and re-
tain robust community health. Any
how, persons usually have poor sue
cess in attempts to make everybody
do and think what they would have
them, however sincere and earnest
their endeavor.

PATRONIzE LOCAL INDUSTRY.

Ehum! No, not Aunt Gamimie, or
Albers, but better pancake flour
made right here in our Ashland Mills
from valley products. We had some
of 1t for breakfast this morning and,
believe us, it hit the spot. 1t was
self rising and all wife had to do was
put in a mixture Of half water and
half sweet milk and the trick was
turned. Take these pancakes and a
little country sausage and gravy and
it's breakfast fit for a king. Ev-
erybody in Ashland should use this
pancake flour because 1t is as good
as any and better than many not
only, but because in doing so they
are patronizing well managed local
mill that uses products raised in the
valley and bought from valley farm
ers. BY eating Ashland made flour
and local mill products we are help
ing to build up what may become an
important local industry. We hear
great deal about locating industries
here and very little about supporting
the ones we have. The best way to
get more is by making prosperous
with our support the ones already
here. Housewives should ask for the
local pancake flour and take none
other. Merchants always handle the
products that are in demand. We
have tried 1t and we know it Is good
enough for anybody. This Is not an
advertisement. 1t is written in the
hope that it will draw attention to a
worthy local industry, we'll managed
by men of long experience, with a
mill of modern machinery, which
buys its raw materials from local
ranchmen. There is no reason, II
we eat flour, why we should not boost
the local industry by eating home
milled flour. 1t is fine product.

Strangers usually estimate a city
by what they see. On gala occas-
ions they behold and experience the
best a city has. 1t is lively and they
see 1t 80. 1t is pleasing and beauti-
ful and they see II so. Merchants
are doing a thriving business and 1t
looks good. The atmosphere is
charged with gaity and hustle and
they feel 1t. These are the impress
sions they carry away and comment
on. 1t is a physiological law. The
greater the crowd the more parm-
nent benefit to the town. After such
occasions comments OF visitors run
like this: "A city the size OF --
which can do such things is to be
reckoned with. 1t certainly has pep
and stamina. It has great future"
II is worth much to Ashland to
fill It with strangers even for week.
Worth vastly more than to expend
an equal sum Of energy and money
in trying to get industries here that
cannot thrive on account of unfavor-
able natural obstacles-typography
geography and the like, which every
body recognizes as fatal, but our
selves. Industries that do not thrive
are in the way Of advancement. They
hurt the credit and general reputa-
tion of a community and 1t suffers
accordingly. To attempt such is to
follow the lines of greatest resistance
while the law of success dictates the
opposite course.

Fifty thousand persons one day in
Ashland is worth one hundred thous-
and dollars besides the ready cash
they leave. The advertising value
is worth more than the cash in our
pockets. The average citizen does
not realize the tremendous value of
advertising They read what the
merchant offers in his advertise
ment; they act on his suggestion;
they buy gown they had not intend
ed buying and purchase their needs
OF that merchant instead OF another
without realizing the power the ad-
vertisement exercised in the trans
action. Community advertising Is
much the same. but more extended
in scope. Every act of every citizen
every community activity, or lack OF
community activity, every word OF
citizen, even, in an advertisement
favorable, or otherwise, for the city

Somebody, or literature, spoke ia,

Vironment.

The line OF least resistance is al
ways along the path nature has
carved for advancement. Can any
one, mindful of natures laws, fail
TO distinguish the path laid out for
the best development of Ashland?
The environment, the climate, the
elevation, the typography. the natur-
al medicinal waters, the scenery,
even the splendid domestic water
supply, are designed precisely to
meet the demands for recreation,
health, longevity and pleasurable liv-
ing. They hold power enough to
draw here by the thousands II prop
erly exploited. r.

In these lines of epidemic thru

In these times Of epidemic thru
out the country few Of the best news
papers are featuring fatalities on
the front page under Death Angel
heads. Down in southern California
among the resort cities the list Is
being set in exceedingly small type
and printed in an obscure corner
OF an isolated page. Altho 1t is well
understood the epidemic is as fatal
in one section as another most pa
pers in cities of health resort claims
are exceedingly charry about featur-
ing such things, even tho to do 1t
would sell dozen or so extra copies
of the issue. The good judgment OF
its newspapers in knowing what to
print, and what not to print, what to
feature and where to feature 1t, is
tremendous force in determining

list Of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their

fering long time with gastritis, as
the doctors call it-really a disor-
dered stomach with consequent con-
stipation, pains in the shoulders,
headache, belching, heartburn, loss
of appetite, loss of sleep, and faint
ing spells. For weeks / could not
sleep on my back.
"One week ago, upon recommen-
dation of friends, who had tried the
medicine, purchased one bottle OF
Tanlac and began taking it. Since
my second dose ] have suffered none
of these troubles to which | refer,
and really believe l am going to get
perfectly we'll and strong again.
Won't that be wonderful at my age?
Well, certain II is that Tanlac is a
wonderful medicine, and you know

periments and am rather orthodox
as to materia medica.
II shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the final
results"
