The Story of
 TUO Dollars

- " dollars were spent by different men but both in city in that part of the United States usu- ely designated as "The South" The story of these two dollars during the past year will be of interest to the man who wishes tC do the best for himself and his southland. Each dollar was spent for insurance. One was part of $35 which was paid for policy in the Nam moth Life Insurance Company of New York. The other was part of $35 which was spent for life insurance policy in the Mammoth Life Insurance Company of the South-the Jefferson Standard Life Insur- ce Co.,, Greensboro, N. c.
 The first went through the usual banking channels to New York and there was held in vault of the Mammoth Life h. surance Company of New York for about three months, and then, with thousands of other dollars was used to purchase the bonds of a large fcatory in Massachusetts. This dollar, with others, with many others, contributed in it's way, to the employment of many men in a New England enterprise, and 1t helped to build up an in- dustry which is competing with Southern Industries. After having been spent for the bonds of this mill, it was turn ed loose in the thriving mill town New England, paid many debts, and contributed as every dollar does, to the material welfare and prosperity of everything with which 1t came in contact. As it rolled along in it's merry way, doing good to the New Englanders, it jingled jauntily with many other dollars which had core from the Southland, and which, as it touched it's bright neighbors seemed to wcEder, "Why am 1 so far away from home why could I not remain in the Southland and do this same good there? Are there so many dollars in th t country that they want to get rid of them and am I not needed there as much as I am here?"
 The story of the other dol- lar, the one which was spent for a life insurance policy in the Mammoth Life Insuran- ce Company of the South, the JEFFERSON, of Greensboro, is just as interesting.
 It was paid into local bank Within three weeks it was loaned, with many dollars, to a Southern man, who, having confidence in his section, was developing his farm and need ed this money to build better barns, better home and inn prove his land. This particular dollar was paid by this man to a carpenter who was at work on his barn. By the carpenter it was paid on to the doctor. It was used by the doctor to pay his monthly grocery bill. The grocer used it with other dollars, to pay his druggists bill. The druggist used it to pay his neighbor farmer for some vegetables. From there it went to the local butcher.

At meeting of dry goods merchants held this morning

some sort for the Ashland and spoke OF plan
for fitting up suitable club for them in the Aory This

CORRECT ADDRESS
CAMPAIGN IN P.O.

The employees of the Ashland post
office are conducting a campaign
among the patrons OF the office to
have their correspondents address
their mail completely in order to in
sure prompt delivery upon arrival
and thus prevent the necessary de-
lay caused by having to look up the
street number, lock box nupber, OF
rural route box number.
This is very important now that
Ashland is again filling up with
strangers and transients are more
numerous than in many years
There is no better protection to mail
than correct and complete address
as It reduces the possibilities of ir-
regular sorting to minimum and
when complaint is made the fault
can be easily located Patrons are
prone to believe that their mail will
come to them anyhow because the
carrier or clerks know them person
ally. This is delusion as there are
more names and initials in the world
than they appreciate and on the face
of letter.

A novel plan has been worked out
in the south that is helping greatly
to relieve the labor shortage in cot
ton mill districts.
Formerly, many women absented
themselves from their work day or
two a week to do their washing at
home. Now, small laundries have
been established. in many of the mill
towns, by the cotton manufacturers.
Eight to ten employees in the laundry
do the washing for as many as 200
families or more, doing away with
the old washday delays.
The same general idea is BEING
worked out by the laundryowners OF
the nation in their national cam
paign. A concerted effort is being
made to teach the housewives of the
country the advantage of sending
their family washing to the modern
laundries in their city. If women
will do this, the laundryowners say,
it will ultimately be possible to
completely emancipate the women OF
America from the washtub.

The closing session OF the state
convention of the w. c. T. U. was
held last night, and on the program
was designated as Medford night
For some reason or other Medford
failed to respond, and when the con-
gregation gathered no entertainers
were forthcoming. Ashland, how
ever, was equal to the occasion, and
provided so excellent a program that
it fully compensated for the absence
of the regular one.
DR.. Woods orchestra rendered the
opening music, and other features
were singing By Mrs. Caldwell, Mrs.
Hockett, Mrs. Ashcraft and Misses
Policy and Allen. Rev. d. D. Ed
wards gave an excellent and inspir-
ing address and Mrs. Jillson deliv-
cred a very helpful talk. Another
entertaining feature was a reading
by DR.. Keeney Ferris.
This annual meeting has been one
of the most helpful and entertain
ing conventions ever held in Ashland
and was largely attended by dele
gates from all over the state.

"The most beautiful air trip in the
world. Rival of California's Los An
geles- Catalina island flying excur-
sion."
Pictures of making the air above
the Columbia river canyon and the
Columbia river highway the play
ground for Curtiss Seagull are con-
iured up in the minds Of four Port
land men now in the East. They
have had their first flights.
Chester G. Murphy, attorney for
the recently incorporated Pacific Air
Line company, writes that the Sea-
gull, the latest cnrtiss type flying
machine, is now on the way to Port
land.
81 simply cannot find words to OK
press what a magnificent flight the
Columbia river highway would
make. The Pacific Air Line COM
pany intends to operate regular
line of Seagull boats up the highway,
and this will do much to advertise
Portland and furnish tourists with
one of the most beautiful air trips in
the world. The line will soon be-
come as famous as the Los Angeles
Catalina island route.
Think of rising from the aviation
field TO a complete view Of the en-
tire city. Think of snowcapped
mountains in the background. Think
of Mount Hood appearing SO close
one seems almost able TO touch IT."
