HIGHWAYS.

A recent newspaper statement gives
100000 as spent by Oregon citi-
zens for good roads in the last five
years. No one begrudges money
spent in such practical improvements
as good highways.
Good roads mean better conditions,
easier and enlarged trade, pleasure
and intercourse, and ii should be so.
But there are also highways of
life that can not be charted on maps
or measured in money. 1t is of
yaster Importance to our state that
there are safe paths for the feet of
boys and girls, that the highways to
manhood may be clean and straight
and leading to good citizenship.
There are many little pilgrims who
are wandering in the byways of sin
and neglect, because they have no
one to show them the better way.
The new Farm Home plans to be
such road to honorable life
Its only aim is to gather in the
deserted waits and orphans and in
the clean life OF the open country,
train and care for them in the cot
tages, mothered by Christian women,
and start them On the road of life
safely and in the care of Him who
said, II am the way"
1t costs only $4,000 to build
this road for Oregon. Ashland s
share of $1,000 is not all pledged
yet, but We feel sure that good citi-
zens will build this highway and will
want to help to make safe the paths
of the little ones for whom Christ
died. A BUILDER.

During the night the snow which fell
to upwards Of fifteen inches had
broken down telegraph and telephone
poles all over the city and totally
demoralized the electric light system
Business places depending on cleo
tficity for their power was abso-
lutely at a standstill. Trains were
held up and could not get through
for several days, telegraph service
was destroyed and taxis and jitneys
were showed under. For three
days business in Ashland was at a
standstill, all save plumbers who
worked overtime and all the time
mending frozen water pipes, as the
snow was followed by almost unpre-
cedently cold weather.
The strange feature accompanying
the big snow of a year ago was that
it went off with a ground thaw,"
The Chinook wind started to blow
along about the middle of the week
following the big storm, and inside
Of week the ground was as bare of
snow as it is in June. The best part
of It, too was that all this moisture
entered the ground. removing all ap-
prehension of a flood. AS this was
practically all the moisture this Sec
tion received last winter 1t was the
salvation of the land.
Plenty of snow has fallen in the
mountains within the past two or
three days, and has approached
pretty close to the valley. Yester-
day morning close to two feet Of snow
had fallen on the Sislziyous, accord
ing to reports from the state high
way operators situated there. This
morning eight inches are reported to
have fallen throughout the night, and
It has showed Off and on all day to-
day in that section.
Yesterday after the deep snow on
the mountain shovel was put to
work and the road was soon open
for traffic. L. D. Dollarhide has
been hired by the state to keep the
road open, and tourists are promised
an open road over the mountains
throughout the winter, so far as Ore
gon is concerned. According to
some autoists who. came up from Nor
thern California yesterday, there are
some drifted stretches of country
through the mountains in that state
which will make automobiling bad
proposition at the present time. This
is the first year that travel over the
mountain roads was considered
through the winter months, and much
interest has been taken in ascertain
ing whether the highway will be pass.

SANITY.

Only a few years ago our Fourth
of July celebrations rolled up heavy
annual casualties in deaths and dis
memberment. Many persons thought
they could not show their patriotism
save by making noise with gun
powder, a purely primitive method
of self-expression. Nowadays we
celebrate the Fourth of July in a
more civilized manner in sympathy
with the spirit Of the occasion.
The change was due to what many
are pleased to call propaganda 1t
was triumph to turn the American
people face about from custom in
grained in our national life to vir-
tually the practice of its opposite, an
unspectacular opposite, at that. There
is, therefore, some hope of turning
us away from foolish and extrava-
CANT celebration of our greatest holi-
day-"Christmas.
Nearly everyone admits that the
spirit of Christmas has become per-
verted. We give against our wills in
many cases out of reason, the very
perversion of the true Christmas
spirit.
This year the United States boy-
ernment is asking us to observe a
sane Christmas. The world is still
in a torment of poverty. We alone,
as a nation, owe something like more
than twenty billions OF dollars, every
cent of which must be paid from the
earnings of the people. Therefore,
our government asks us to observe
a thrifty Christmas. This can best
be done, not by refusing to give, but
rather by giving wisely.
One way to give wisely is TO pre-
sent the loved ones with securities

ASHLAND
IS BEHIND
IN QUOTA
THE STATEWIDE DRIVE FOR
THE ORPHANS FARM HOME
FUND POORLY SUPPORTED BY
MANY. o. N. SMITH, LOCAL
CHAIRMAN, ASKS CITIZENS FOR
ELEVENTH. HOUR SUPPORT.

A most worthy cause OF the year
goes poorly supported by many OF the
citizens.
Have the citizens OF Ashland stop
ped pushing the most worthy cause
the state of Oregon has instituted in
years? 1t would appear so, for up
to date Ashland is approximately
$500 delinquent on its quota for the
Children's Farm Home fund for
dependent and orphan children of
Oregon. 1t should not be necessary
to retell what the raising of this fund
means, as this paper has explained
that several times in the past two
weeks. II you still fail to grasp its
Importance, ask V. o. N. Smith after
handing him your remittance and he
will explain it to you.
Can't We DO 1t?
Are there enough philanthropic
Ashland citizens who believe that
the orphan and dependent children
of Oregon deserve a home to make
up this $500? This question will be
answered for Ashland within the next
few days.
Don't Wait to BE Asked.
Avoid the awkward and embaras-
sing answer you will have to give
when you are asked, Have you sub
scribed?" by making your sub
seription now. If this is worth your
support give 1t wholeheartedly. The
committee may not get to you for
a few days, but you can help finish
things up quickly and nicely by max
ing out your personal check to v.
o. N. Smith at the Citizens Bank, not
ing below your signature that the
amount is to go for the Farm Home
fund.
How Much to Give.
For a minute imagine yourself a
wee tot Of an orphan with not rela-
tive and no home this winter. How
much would a home which provided
you with warm clothes, nourishing
food and bosom friends be worth to
you? Now wake up again and give
Just one half of that amount to the
orphan fund.
It's Up TO You.
Your neighbor may not do it. You
must. It will do no good to give
this your moral support unless you
give it your financial support as
we'll,

Anniversary Play
A Great Success

Friday evening was made very
successful one by a large crowd at
tending the performance of Green
Stockings" at the Senior High gym
nasium.
The play was three act comedy full
Of action and critical moments. Miss
Ayre, who had charge OF the play,
exercised excellent judgment in the
selection of her characters. Every
one Of them did his part in highly
satisfactory way and some of the
parts are heavy ones, especially for
high school students. Miss Perozzi
who took the part of Mrs. Faraday,
Gwynne Cannon who had the part OF
Celia Faraday, and Edgar Buchan-
an, who represented Colonel Smith,
deserve special mention. Not that
they excelled the others in the way
they did their parts but because Of
the length and difficulty Of the role.
All In all, the play given Friday
evening may be called one OF the
most successful of the many ami
.versary programc given at the high
school.
The program was made more en-
tertaining by selections given by the
high school orchestra and to num-
bers by the girls glee club.
The complete cast was as follows:
