BOY KILLED BY
ACCIDENTAL SHOT

The 13-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Cardoza of near Hit was
struck by bullet from the accident
ally discharged gun of Charles O..
Kelly Sunday and was instantly
killed. According to the story that
comes from there Kelly visited the
ranch owned by Mr.. Cardoza on the
Jackson county line Sunday forenoon,
taking along his shotgun. While
talking to Cardoza, Kelly left his gun
at a tree, and later saw several boys
near the weapon. Fearing they
would tamper with the gun he picked
it up to remove the shells, and while
doing so the weapon was discharged.
The charge struck young Cardoza,
killing him instantly.
Coroner Perl Of Jackson county
made an investigation and took down
Kelly's sworn testimony. A jury was
selected who went to the scene of
the accident today, and an inquest
will be held tomorrow forenoon.

or the three songs recently COM
posed by Professor II. G.. Gilmore
OF this city, one of them, the Kitten
song. was dedicated to Mrs. Ada P.
Merrill, who is at the head of the
kindergarten department of the pub
lie schools of Long Beach, Calf, and
so Interestingly has Mrs. Merrill writ
ten Professor Gilmore about adding
Joy and harmony to the kingdom OF
childhood" on general principles,
that we quote liberaly from her let
ter, as follows:
81 appreciate Mr.. Gilmore in a
manner which words can but family
express, the honor you have paid me
by dedicating one of your songs to
me. The Kitten" song is charm
ing!-just as dear as it can be-the
accompaniment very harmonious and
we'll adapted to the song. l am sure
that children will be delighted with
it. You are adding joy and har-
mony to the kingdom of childhood
and that is compensation sufficient,
is it not? The more we do for the
little ones the more we are benefit
ting the world, for they are the flu
ture citizens Of the world, and no
school board authorities can afford
to ignore the Importance of using cor
rectly both nose and mouth in vocal
utterance."

AT the open meeting of the Com
munity club of Belleyiew last Fri
| day night, Prof. Reimer gave most
interesting and instructive talk on
the customs of the people in the Or
lent from which he has Just re-
turned. Among his remarks he
drew the contrast between customs
in neighboring countries for instance
in a Japenese hotel every guest is
met at the door and a servant re-
moves all of the clothing including
shoes and stockings with the excep-
tiOn of union suit kimona is put
on. At o'clock every afternoon
every guest must take bath. At 9
a soothing doctor or osteOpath, as
We would call him, passes through
the streets and calls out that any
who wish may be soothed to sleep
by good rub. There are no chairs
in houses or cOnveyances. Only six
teen percent of land is tillable.
In China the people are absolutely
unsanitary but most industrious,
however Prof. Reimer says its the one
race that simply cannot cooperate
because of their generations of sus-
picious living. Even father and son,
he says, do not trust each other.
They have no feeling of sympathy for
one in trouble and will pass persons
in accidents on the road without Of
fer Of assistance. There are two
thousand miles of irriga-
ton bitches in section of country
where rainfall is from so to 80
inches in wet season. The streets
are literally filled with children,
half fed, wretchedly clothed and re-
ceiying scarcely any attention.
In Korea the people through cen
uries Of eating rice have come to
he realization that it is not "A bal
lnced ration unless taken in enor- I
nous quantities. Since it is the i
food obtainable the mothers
lctually compel their children to eat
when not hungry, kneading their lit
lie bodies that they may swallow )
more rice. Prof Reimer said that !
he American citizen did not appreci-

us enough and the big thought he
wanted to give was our responsible I

Will You Pay
Respects TO the
Soldier Dead?

Less than. three years ago Ashland
sent out the flower of her young
manhood at the call of her country
to brave the horrors OF war for the
sake of other countries in distress.
As all know some of those who left
her in the full tide of life are sleep
ing in foreign soil, some Of whom
are occupying unknown graves. The
families of others were given the
privilege of having the graves Of
their beloved ones neat at hand,
where they can visit them at inter-
walls.
Because you, fathers and mothers,
are blessed with the privilege of hav-
ing your boys return to you alive
and well, or you, citizens, who had
no representative of your country in
foreign battlefields fighting for your
home and country, does not lessen
your obligation to your neighbors
who are called to mourn for those
lost in battle.
The French nation will next SUN
day, February %, on the birthday
Of the Father of Our Country, honor
those who gave their lives to help
them in their dire distress, by CIV
Ing testimonial of honor to these
boys who have not returned. This
will be presented to the next of kin,
those of our neighbors who were not
among the fortunate to greet the SOL
der boy on his return from war.
Shall We let France honor these
brave dead more than We do? Or
shall we, one and all, turn out at this
meeting Sunday afternoon and fill
the big Chautauqua auditorium to
overflowing at the first opportunity
we have had to show homage to these
dead heroes? This will be the first
chance Ashland has had to publicly
honor her soldier dead, and they
surely have it coming to them.
More than that, the parents, the
next of kin to those who paid the SUI
preme sacrifice, are entitled to the
tribute of respect our presence can
give by attending this meeting Sun
day afternoon. Do hot fail to do
as you would be done by were you in
their places.
