The teachers OF the Weston school
met Thursday afternoon and assign.
ed lessons TO such pupils as report
cd for the purpose. Whi.c ut this
writing no official announcement had
been made that the local school
will reopen next Monday, i is
thought that in all likelihood il
will do so, unless further cases of
Spanish influenza are reported.
The patients in the l.. b. Davis
household have recovered, and no
Weston houses are now under quar-.
antine.
Us. Iamm Of Seminole county,
Oklahoma, was in Weston during
the week, visiting old-time friends.
Mr. Lamm came out to Portland
TO see his son. George Lamm, who
is in the service of Uncle sam. He
says he did not know the boy in his
army uniform. Another son,
Charles, also well known here, is
with him in Oklahoma, where they
are engaged in farming and raise
peanuts, sweet potatoes, cotton,
corn and oats.

Sergeant Olsen Compliments the
Leader and Weston Community.

In the course of an interesting
letter from France Sergeant Earl G,
Olsen of the Twelfth Balloon Com.
pany says;
THE Leader has been coming in
a regular stream the last few days
and although some of them are
old and others older still, | scan
each one eagerly for all the news
pertaining to the civic and social
life of Weston. It's a pleasure |
couldn't do without. Then again.
there are numerous helpful hints
and suggestions. For instance: the
cootie cure in the issue Of October
18. | have tried numerous other
cures like sitting out and freezing
them to death or turning ones
shirt often enough to run them
dead; but | failed in all. The
Gpotie cure in the Leader seems the
most plausible, only fear won't
be able to get enough salt.
"Well. I've read about the crops
and the harvest, civic improve
ments and the patriotic manner in
which you handle the Liberty Loans
and other war activities. | feel
proud Of the Weston community
and all that goes to make it what il
is. | certainly can see you are
doing your bit.
I've been back from the Front
4 little better than two weeks and
AM now in billet in the town of
Vile sur Cousances. about 20 kilo-
meters west Of Verdun. Our oper-
atoms have all been in this sector
and have pretty thoroughly trav-
lied the ground between st. Mihiel
md the Argonne the first-named
being our initial engagement. We
rave had our ups and downs. but !
wouldn't have missed the expert
.nce for anything.
1--WE are sitting on the world
iow-just waiting; and we are
ust as anxious and impatient to
ret back as we were to get over"

er, refused TO contribute to the

Nick Grosgebaurer Of Umapine,
whose prune crop last year was
worth in the neighborhood of $10,-
600, contributed only $500 to this
fund and that reluctantly.
Fred Melhof of Umapine refused
TO give money to the agencies help
ing our boys in arms on the ground
that he had TO send money to rela-
tives In Germany.
William Swash Of Umapine, said
to be worth $50, 900, refused to
contribute to the U. w. w. fund.
j. e. Hoon of Milton refused to

Weekly HEALTH. Talks
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE. MD.
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, N. D.

II can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you eat;
troubles begin TO crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis arc almost as common
There Is but one way to have good health;
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy to do il you
take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coyery. II is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is 50 safe TO take, for it IS
made Of roots and herbs. DR., Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and il Is good TO know that so
distinguished physician IS proud to have
his name identified With it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are
getting the benefit Of the experience Of 3
doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get temper
ance medicine thst contains not drop Of
alcohol or narcotic Of any kind. Long ago
DR.. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable Experimentation the use Of
alcohol-so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.
II piles are torturing you, get and use
Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment. The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you Try it. II constipated, DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually over
come. They are so good that nearly
every drug store has them for sale. -.

last act was a sharp trick
TO continue themselves in power by
political chicanery.
or course there is nothing TO pre-
vent Mr.. Banta and the mayor from
submitting their case to fair and i'm

city at such special election. They

their course would be duly endorsed,
as. under the circumstances fair men
would be anxious to have done.
One thing we know. There has
been a deal OF criticism on the action
of Chairman Banta. OF the water COM
mittee, in draining the reservoirs
long after the SHOWS had ceased to
supply water for the city thereby
greatly augmenting the damagins
water shortage the city experienced
last year. There are quite a number
of citizens who would like to express
themselves on that bone head ac-
tion at the polls, II they are given a
fair opportunity. Besides. there Il

MAKE 1T SELF SUSTAINING

Asland has an investment OF over
two hundred thousand dollars in
her park, Chautauqua building and
springs enterprise. Quite sum, to
be sure, for city her size. But who
is there that will say 1t is not the
best investment the city ever made?
It certainly is the largest and de-
serves the best care and judgment
In its management. Every care and
every department Of the city should
be centered on it. Those who think
the highest function OF the city ad-
ministration is to attend to the petty
routine Of city government at this
stage OF Ashland's development has
another guess coming. The interest
and sinking fund on the bonds float
ed for the past few years accomp-
llshment is no small matter. The
sum that must be raised for proper
development and maintenance Of
Lithia Park is no small sum. Should
the city fail to go forward 1t will at
once become a burden of no small
proportions. Every interest and
thought OF the city should be toward
relieving and getting from under
that burden as quickly as possible.
Should park enterprises and amuse-
ments be inaugurated that would
produce enough income to pay for
upkeep and necessary development
of Lithia Park it would prove a long
step in relieving the burden. That
can be done il proper care and con-
structiye effort is employed along
that line. Had he not felt sure that
the springs enterprise could be
quickly developed into a self sup
porting one the protector OF the
springs plan would never have at
tempted It. By adding from time to
time such income getters as the cup.
venders and gas meters it was hoped
soon to sinaugurate enough of them
to entirely pay expense of park up
keep. Now the time seems auspi-
cious to add another good money
getter to park equipment With the
immense crowds that Ashland will
entertain during Victory week a
fine new band stand, or, We might
more properly say. a well designed
stage for airdome entertainments
could be made to pay for itself in
the week, thereafter leaving it clear
to be used in producing profit max
ing entertainments from year to
year that would materially reduce
the amount necessary to raise by
taxation for park upkeep. This is
but one Of many the writer has had
in mind to this end. There are 9TH
ers that will prove equally profitable.
But. under present conditions should
be added from year to year as condi-
tions warrant. The time will come
when the entire expense of that two
hundred thousand dollar investment
will be absorbed by the profits from
the enterprise. When we say that
we mean interest, sinking fund and
upkeep cost of the entire project.
How soon that will be depends upon
the intelligent thought and business
judgment exercised by the city of
Ashland toward the enterprise.

MADE DEFENDANT
ON TWO CHARGES
(snecfal Moline servicel

Gus Bargas, East Moline barber
and a tenant in one of the Harry
Orman properties in East Moline,
sWore out a warrant for the arrest
Of Orman on two charges.
The warrants were obtained in
Moline. Bargas is defendant in a
civil suit started by Orman. Bar
gas charges Orman, who recently
sold the Midland hotel in East Mo
line and who is building a new hos
telry in that city, with malicious
mischief and with disorderly con
duct.
Both cases were scheduled for
trial yesterday. The disorderly
conduct case was continued until
this afternoon >by Magistrate
Frank Gustafson and the malicious
mischief case was continued for 10
days by Justice F. c. Entrikin.
In the civil suit Orman, it is said,
is trying to compel Bargas to move
from his property, In the county
courts several weeks ago a deci-
sion was given refusing to order
Bargas out. This case was con-
tfnued by Magistrate Gustafson.
- Bargas alleges that Orman board
ed up the windows of his barber
shop and committed other malicious
acts and also charges that he com
mitted various acts of disorder in
the Bargas barber shop.
