The county horticultural inspec.
tors, who have been in Ashland dur
ing the past week looking over the
orchards, state that so far as the hill
districts are concerned the fruit is
safe. 1t was feared that the heavy
snow and unusually cold weather that
prevailed last month would put a fin
ish to the fruit, but according to the
inspectors the orchards on the hills
at least are all to the good.
While here the inspectors stated
that the recent cold weather of the
past few weeks has been the saliva
ton of the fruit. Had it come off
warm for a few days, then freezing
weather follow, they claim, the fruit
would have been killed. The snow
of December II, while it did much
damage to the trees by its unusual
weight and depth, was a great pro-
lection to the fruit against the coz
snap that followed shortly after.

FIGURES THAT MAKE ONE DIZZY

# is estimated by statisticlans
that the direct cost for the
world war was S1SO,OOO,OOO, 600
and the indirect cost, S151,OOO,O O,OOO,-
ooO. making total of $S37,OOO,OOO,-
OoO. As a result of the war mainly
If was estimated that the national
debt of Great Britain is about 40
nor cent of her national wealth; that
Of Russia. 63 per cent; of France, DO
per cent; of Italy, so per cent; oil
Germany, 81 per cent; of Austria
Hungary, SO per cent; while the Unit
ed States is little more than 10 per
cent. But few OF these experts call
attention to the fact that If the
warning nations spent all this money
somebody got it, and the money is
still in existence sowhewhere in the
world. For instance the billions
spent by the United States were bor-
rowed from the people on bonds and
other evidences of debt, and then
paid back to virtually the same peo-
pie who loaned it in payment for la
Dor. food and war materials. This
view of the case would indicate that
while the government has gone heav-
lily into debt the people who consti-
tute the government, in the United
States, at least have virtually all the
money that the government spent
in prosecuting the war. And in
turn the government is leyying ad-
ditional taxes on the people who con-
stitute It to meet the interest and
principal, as il comes due. on the
debts It owes the people. In brief,
the people must, themselves, pay
what the government owes them,
since the government has no other
method except through taxation to
raise It.
When one goes to figuring on the
cost of war and the financial burdens
it imposes, he is quite likely to get
dizzy before he has determined just
who pays the bills, in the end AS
a matter Of fact, the late war was
very profitable to the people of the
United States in a financial sense be-
cause they sold billions of dollars
worth of food and supplies to for
eign belligerents at war prices. And
it was correspondingly Improbable
to the foreign nations which were
forced to buy what they lacked in
this country and were in no position
to drive a good bargain. One effect
Of the war was TO shift the financial
dominance of the world to this side of
the Atlantic perhaps an hundred
years before It would naturally have
come in the due course of the de-
velopmont of the Western World.

That Ashland has been unques-
tionably benefited by the great fruit
crop OF the past year is demonstrate
ed by the business handled by the
American Railway Express company
alone. During the year 1919 the
business of the express company
amounted to $4,000, while that Of
1918 amounted to $4,000. The

item. while general Improvements

Rules for Avoiding influenza

DR.. George Parrish, chief of the
Portland health bureau, presents the
following rules for avoiding influep-
"a. the recurrence of which is threat
ening some portions of the country,
which will be well for all to heed
l. Exercise wisely and regularly
g., Eat wholesome food at regular
intervals. 1t is not quantity, but
quality which counts. Don't eat as
if you were trying to win a race.
3. Get all the fresh air possible
both by day and by night, Fresh air
is life.
4. Take sufficient rest. Few per-
sons can get along with less than
eight hours sleep regularly.
3. Keep cean-both inside the
body and outside. Wash your
hands before each meal and clean
your mouth and teeth after each
meal. Insure bowel movement al
least once daily
There is nothing in the present
situation which should cause fear
in anyone, but on the other hand,
every sane, thinking person should
awaken to the fact that he has a
duty to perform--a duty to himself
and to his fellow citizen. Fear, to
a certain degree, does make the body
susceptible to disease by lowering
vitality, but hearing the truth should
reassure any reasoning, well-bal-
anced person.
No one should allow himself to be
stampeded. The wide spread OF any
disease is almost always caused by
the thoughtless person or the one
who is deliberately wicked There
fore, the most promising way to deal
with the possibility of a recurrence
of influenza is to look the situation
squarely in the face. If one does,
it is summed up in the word pre-
paredness.
And now is the time to prepare.
There is every reason to look hope
fully on this subject, and yet we
must not neglect any precautions
that will tend to protect us, should
this disease gain headway in Ore
gon.
The right way to begin is to take
an inventory of yourself. Are you
physically fit? Are you eating the
proper foods, and regularly? Do
you get enough sleep?
Do not wait. for the "flu," but
beat the "flu" to it! Become a citi-
zen worthy of the name, thoughtful
of yourself and your neighbor. Avoid
persons suffering from "colds," sore
throats and coughs. Keep warmly
clothed, and see that your living
room temperature is close to GS de-
grees, and that the air is not too
dry. Sleep and work in clean, fresh
air.
Avoid expectorating in public
places, and see that others do the
same. Don't use towels or linens
used by others. Cover your nose
and mouth with your handkerchief
when you cough or sneeze. Walk
several miles day. Keep your hands
clean and keep them out of your
mouth.
If you have a cough or cold, do
not become a nuisance and men
ace by attending some theater or
dance. TO sum it up, the five SIM
pie common-sense rules given above,
if followed, will cause you to achieve
the maximum Of health.

There are only about a hundred
producing metal miles in Oregon and
six of these produce so per cent of
the total output of all the metal
mined in the state, and one of them
produces 25 per cent of the total value
of the metals produced. These six
mines are those of the Baker Mines
company, Cornucopia Mines COM
pany, HOmestead-Iron Dyke company,
and the Commercial Mining company,
all in Baker county, and the Queen
of Bronze Mining company, in Jose
phine county. The only placer mine
in this group is the Powder River
Gold Dredging company.
The larger copper companies of
the state, which are in Baker and
Josephine counties, show some in
crease in output during the year, not
withstanding unfavorable conditions.
The most productive county in the
state in all metals is Baker, which
produces nearly 80 per cent of the
gold and of the total value of all
metals mined. Though less ore has
been produced in Oregon during the
last two years than in 1917, the
average value of all the metals mined
and treated has increased about 90
cents per ton. The relative rank
of the counties of Oregon in the pro-
duction of gold is as follows: Baker,
Grant, Josephine, Jackson, Crook,
Douglas, Umatilla, Clackamas, Lane,
Wallowa, Curry and
Wheeler.
