tersely put, on the front the address
and on the back a well selected cut
OF our fountains and park to carry
the idea of our preparation for the
tourist and healthseeker. Studio
Ashland is now displaying in its win
dow an ideal view for the purpose,
comprizing the Butler-Perozzi foun-
tain, the mineral water fountains, the
band stand and showing the paths,
greensword, canyon and Mount Ash
land in the distance.
Cover only the valley towns on the
Pacific highway-leaving out the
coast towns-from the north line of
California as far as Fresno. The
aim being to reach only the uncom-
fortably hot, malarial districts.
Use the California bankers blue
book for addresses of bankers. Ad-
dress particularly the presidents Of
banks on the theory that they usual
ly are past middle age, have leisure,
(the cashier usually does the work)
and money to spend in travel. Next,
gather the addresses of all the doc
tors from local telephone directories
which can be secured for any city
from the Bell company at small cos.,
because people ailing and needing
change are usually under the care of
a physician. Next, select the address,
es of business men. 1t Is common in
those hot and malarious regions for
thrifty business men to send their
families away for three or four hot
test summer months.
Reach about thirty thousand heads
of families the first issue, about the
middle of February, and prepare one
followup to 60 about the middle Of
May. The whole campaign could be
made at a cost not to exceed twelve
hundred dollars. Here is the ar
rangement and the facts suggested
for the first card:

COMMUNITY ADVERTISING
VS.. LITERATURE

Il has been common, all over the
big u. S. A., the past thirty years for
communities to send out literature
composed OF fact and fancy tucked
delicately together by an artist In
words, flanked by highly colored pic
lures OF chosen spots, in the hope OF
catching suckers on realty schemes.
Circulation OF II induced wild specu-
latlon, inflated values and ultimate
collapse. The day for that sort of
literature" is past. To those who
like fine literature let us recommend
the Bible, Shakespeare and the
Rubaiyat as better than any com
munity can publish, and issue none
OF II ourselves. The town that goes
forward now will do 1t only from ad-
vertising its attractions in a truth
ful, straightforward manner.
The time is ripe for Ashland to
launch an Educational advertising
She is attractive enough
by nature, has now enough attrac-
tlons for recreation and health, to
form a solid basis for extensive ad-
It should be done simply,
and persistently The idea
should be foremost Of reaching the
greatest number at the least cost.
Facts should be plain and concise.
They should aim at particular end
and be especially adapted to the con-
dtions OF the territory in which they
circulate.
The hot, malarious valleys of Cali
fornla seem to be the most likely
territory for our summer campaign.
Therefore we print here a carefully
crystalized suggestion.
Print the message on a !" ge folder
post card that would go for one cent.
In the center Of the card the facts,

President Wilson should hear from
the American people. From his ut
terances on the subject we have d
right to assume he sees the danger.
He has gone to cope with great
power backed by ambition to control
the seas. We should back our repre-
sentatives to the limit in an effort
to get such terms as will insure a
permanent peace beyond the power
Of any nation to abridge. We are In
the fight for world democracy. II
cannot come thru arbitrary individual
power exercised either over land or
sea.
England's claim that her fleet Is
maintained for the protection of the
commerce of the world should be al
lowed no greater weight than the plea
of citizen to carry gun for the
good Of society. In both cases 1t
would be pertinent to enquire, who
constituted you custodian of social
safety" Her ambitions are incom-
patable with the principles of world
democracy and self-determination of
peoples, great and small We en-
tered the war solely for democracy.
AS victors can we afford to stop
short of that?

TRAGEDY IN BUCHANAN'S LIFE
Recent Revelations Show Why States nan Selected Nc Mate to Share
 His Greatness.

President James Buchanan died 2 bachelor. The story of the tragedy that caused him not to marry was brought out during the debate in the house of representatives on a motion to erect monument to Buchanan 1T Washington. Gen. Isaac k. Sherwood Of Ohio told the story as he heard il from friend of Buchanan's at the White House forty years ago.
 Tn his youth James Buchanan's heart was won by the charms of the beautiful Miss Anna C. Coleman, who like himself, resided in Lancaster, Pa, said General Sherwood. "They were soon betrothed and were counted the handsomest couple in all the country around. Some time after the engage ment had been announced MT. Buchan an was obliged to go out of town on business trip. On his return he stopped in to see a Mrs. William Jen kinS, who was entertaining n Miss Oracle Hubley. daughter of General Hubley, an officer of the revolutionary war.
 A gosSlplng young woman t0id MISS Coleman of Mir. Buchanan's visit and aroused her jealousy. On the spur of the moment she penned an angry note and released him from his engagement A short time after this incident a party was arranged to go to Philadelphia to attend an opera. Miss Coleman was included in the invitation, and on ar irving at Philadelphia, on plea of in disposition, remained at the hotel. On their return from the opera Miss Cole man was found dead She had killed herself. This broke James Buchanan's heart, and he never married and never loved another woman"

A member of the women's uniformed
corps drove US in her machine out to a
camp where there are 10000 men.
Here we met the Red Cross Home
Service man. We didn't take his time
we just watched him. One moment
he was helping a man to fill out dupli-
cate allotment blanks; the next he
was arguing the merits of insuring to
the limit; the next he was wiring a

family; next he was going with a.boy
who had received a tragic telegram
from home to see the commanding Off
Ger about leave of absense; then he
was speeding on his way a poor fellow
discharged because of permanent in
jury; then we saw him talking to a
soldier and girl wife at the hostess
house; and as the shadows fell he was
closeted with a worried chap, who was
telling him about an impending mort
gage foreclosure and an expected baby.

condemned because of leaky roof,
mouldy floor and lack of fire protection.
They had sold most of their furniture
piece by piece for current living ex-
penses. The children had no change of
clothing. There was no income and, be-
cause of the mothers condition, no pos
sibility of one, except the expected allot-
ment and allowance, which even when
itcame would not entirely meet the cost
Of living in the city. The Home Service
worker had given a generous sum of
money to meet the urgent needs, and
