This smallest of months is full
Of interesting days. And just to
think it became the smallest month
80 that an Emperor could be hon.
ored. 1t used to have 20 days every
year mot Just every four years) un-
til the Roman senate decreed that
the eighth month should bear the
name OF Augustus. Now it hap
pened that this eighth month had
one day less than July. That would
never do that the month which
had the name Of the Roman EN-
peror should have fewer days than
some other months. So they
picked" q day OF Of February and
gave 1t to August.
The name February was given to
the month because the Roman festi-
val. called the Lupercalia or Feb
rualia, from "februare," which
means ito purify" came during
this month.
The Arst Of its interesting days Is
February 2, which is known as
Grounding Day. You know what
happens II he sees his shadow.
Br-rr-r! Don't you hope he does?
What's the use Of having skates
and sleds anyway, II there isn't any

The next most important day Is
the birthday OF our splendid Lin
coin. and then Washington's birth

tines Day.

month are Mendelssohn, Dickens,

beings DO! Does the grass lool
green and the sky blue to bird
tor example!
Il Is well known that not all hui
man beings see colors in the same
way. Some are blind to red and
green; that Is, they see gray In
stead of these colors. and a few
persons are totally color blind, that
is. they see everything as It looks
IN 9 photograph, without color.
ncW Gan 1t be learned whether
animals can distinguish colors?
It Is not enough st course to offer
the animal q choice between two
colors and see which one.jt will
prefer. It may be able to disl.nS.
uish them, but have no preference
In the matter. The most thorough
investigation so far made OF the
color sense Of any animal was that
conducted by Prof. Yerkes of IIar-
ward with Japanese dancing mice,
which one Of the scientific publica-
tons describes as follows:
A box was constructed with two
compartments, one Illuminated
with light Of ono color, the other
with light Of another color. Ii
mouse entered one compartment,
the red one for example, 1t was al
lowed to run through and escape
into large space; II 1t entered the
green one 1t got a mild electric
shock from wires on the floor. The
lights could be changed so that the
red compartment was now on the
right side, now on the left.
tn mice soon learned to choose
the red compartment, on whatever
side 1t was. But did this show
that The mice saw red as red and
green as green? It was found that
when, after being trained In this
way, they were offered choice
between compartments that were
not lighted by colors. but were
merely one light and the other
dark they chose the dark compart-
ment at once. That suggested the
possibility that they might have
been seeing both red green as two
shades OF gray, of which red was
the darker.
Later tests made this very prob
able, for the mice proved quite I'm:
able to distinguish q red compart-
ment from compartment that was
wholly unlighted: that is, from
black.
1t is not enough, then, to show
that an animal can distinguish be-
tween two lights that are Of DIFF
ferent colors to normal human
eye. for the animal may see them
as two different and distinguish
able shades Of gray. 1t Is known |
that q color blind person sees col
ors in this way. The best method /
by which to prove that animals !
see q color as q color is by teach
ing It to pick out the color from
. whole series Of grays, ranging |
from black to white.
Hardly any animals have yet
been satisfactorily tested for color
sense, but number Of experiment.
ers have the matter still under In
vestigation. It seems probable that
the color sense Of many animals
will prove to be quite unlike that of
human beings.
Red has been called the king of
color. The bull is not the only
creature that resents red; the ele-
plant, the horse, the dog. the cock,

Comparatively the same results
may be secured in Ashland If those
who desire to change the system will
join hands and pull together. The
railroad men of Ashland have fl
nanced the establishment of an Ex-
change Store and have purchased the
stock, fixtures, and goodwill of the
Ashland Trading Company at
153 Main Street, Ashland, Ore,
and invite the farmers and all con-
sumers to join them in making this
big success. Members will be sup
piled with groceries, shoes, overalls,
work clothing, rain-proof clothing
and gloves.
II is our purpose to establish a
chain of these stores. Then by pur-
chasing goods in great quantities, the
Exchange will be able, after adding
the expense OF handling, to sell to
the consumer at saving of from 10
per cent to 40 per cent.
The wage Garner would then in
substance have his salary increased
from 10 per cent to 40 per cent by
the expansion of its purchasing
power. The farmers yearly profit
would also be increased by the added
purchasing power Of his dollar.
If you want to know more about
this, drop a postal card with your
name and address to the National
Exchange Campaign Committee, 1853
Main St., Ashland, Oregon.
What we need is a UNITED Eff
FORT-a UNION of farmer, manu-
facturer and consumer-so that all
necessities may be brought as nearly
as possible DIRECT FROM PRO
DUCER TO CONSUMER.
The EXCHANGE plan makes this
possible without regard to politics
or membership in other organiza-
tions.
Under our plan, the amount you
are asked to pay is very small part
Of what will otherwise be TAKEN
from you by the middleman during
the year. The difference Is, that un-
der collective buying you will get the
membership fee back many times
over during the year through your
ability to buy with the retailers
profits eliminated.
The Government is being asked to
REGULATE middlemen, but we pro-
pose to ELIMINATE them. Work
for the Exchange.
Goods manufactured or grown in
this State will be boosted in prefer
ence to articles made elsewhere, thus
encouraging home enterprise and de-
velopment and providing as much en-
ployment as possible for our citizens.
Special attention will be paid to ad-
vancing the use of goods bearing the
Union Label.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

This absurd and unjust percentage
is due to the fact that the products
of farm and factory pass through so
many unnecessary hands-each TAX
ing its toll.
The surest move in securing a
change of the system is for large
numbers of consumers to BUY COL
LECTIVELY-and get the products
of soil, shop or sea from producer to
consumer without useless handling or
profiteering.
Speaking of the system Of direct
marketing, Mr.. Dillon also says:
"If this system be adopted in New
York City, the useless handling, the
excessive profits, the continual wastes
and the speculation in food products
would be eliminated. The food would
move straight from the producer to
the consumer and If properly super
vised would undoubtedly save the
consumers Of the city from 0,00O,-
900 to $200,000,000 annually.
MIDDLEMEN ARE ORGANIZED
Speaking of the profiteering sys-
TEN the Portland Telegram used the
following forceful language:
Food purveyors are entrenched in
organization; their chain is complete.
Unless COOPERATIVE effort can be
made effective, these conditions will
grow worse. When spectators
and large dealers hold up every
workingman in the United States, in
what respect, morally, ARE THEY
SUPERIOR TO THE HIGHWAY
MAN?.
