reasons. One, and perhaps the least
important, is that the typography Is
such as to satisly diScrim mating taste.
The printing was done by ID. l.. Updlke,
Of Boston, who has achieved reputa-
ton as printer that makes books
bearing his name appreciated by those
Interested in the style of type used and
in the arrangement Of the printing on
the pages.
The other reason Is that the vol ume
contains some exquisite verse about
children. The author is Mrs. Schuyler
Van Rensselaer,, OF New lOrH, better
known as q critic of art than as a poet.
The title Is Many Children and the
poems are those written BY Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, over q series of years. They
start with verses about little children,
and the children grow older as one turns
the pages. The poet has entered into
the heart of childhood and interpreted 1t
so truthfully that what she has written
will be understood by children and ap.
preciated by adults. Her manner is well
illustrated by "a Stormy Day. which

The Happy Warrior

The Rev. DR.. Bradley Gilman, q
Unitarian clergyman who was gradu
ated from Harvard University in 1880,
has paid tribute to Theodore Roosevelt,
Ills classmate. in Il 350-page volume, of
euogy which he calls Roosevelt, the
Happy Warrior" tLittle, Brown &
o..
DR.. Gilman disclaims the intention Of
writing a new life of Roosevelt and he
admits his Indebtedness to the books
about the man written by others. What
he has tried to do, in the words of his
preface, is ito analyze the character
Of my college classmate, Theodore
Roosevelt, and to interpret him by his
words and deeds" His admiration for
the man is so unreasOning and complete
that those who look for calm and dis
eliminating analysis of the character of
Roosevelt will look in vain. Perhaps
It Is just as well that this is so. IL
will help in the ultimate appraisal of
one OF the greatest men Of his time.
When the final estimate of the man is
made In q generation or so it will be
necessary to consider the estimate held
ot him by his contemporaries, by the
men who knew him intimately in ms
youth and continued their acquaintance
with him till his death. DR.. Gilman 5
book will serve as one of the documents
to be read.
The book paints Roosevelt as demi-
god. Men who have not written books
about him have regarded him as dem
agogue, word with a similar sound,
but the two words are as far apart In
meaning as the poles. The truth about
Roosevelt will be found much nearer the
Equator, say somewhere around the
heighborhood Of the Tropic Of Cancer,
at the southern boundary of the north
temperate zone.
Although DR.. Gilman makes no pre-
tense of adding to the general knowl-
edge about the facts of Roosevelt's life,
lie does contribute n little to it. For
example, he tells in some detail the
story Of Roosevelt's efforts to be sent

JAPANESE WALNUT MAKES
VALUABLE TREE FOR SHADE

The japanese walnut offers posi-
bilities for landowners who are seek
ing to plant nut trees for shade oil
other purposes, say specialists oi
the United States department OF ag
riculture. II is nearly as hardy as
the black walnut and is by no means
uncommon In northern and eastern
states. where 1t Is especially appro-
pirate for farm and door-yard plant
ing. For the present. Seeding trees
will have to be relied upon almost
entirely. as very few budded or graft
ed trees are available.
This nut has been confused with
the Persian or so-called English wal
nut, although the two are quite un-
like. The Japanese is dwarfish spe-
cies, with dull green rough leaflets,
often as many as is or II to the leaf,
and bears nuts In racemes OF dozen
or more.
The shells are thinner than those
of the black walnut but thicker than
those of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor OF the kernels is much like
that OF the American butternut.

LOCAL RANKS NOT AFFECTED

The wrecking of the Morris Broth
ers' bonding house has caused quite
an upheaval in the state, and natu
rally Ashland is somewhat touched
by the failure. Several citizens, lul
ed by the large interest with the
bonds advertised by this company
purchased bonds through. this insti
tuition. and some OF them have only
the interim certificates issued by
the Morris Brothers as their security
These instances, it Is feared, may re-
suit in a loss TO the holders. How
ever. those who have the bonds in
their possession are as secure as
though the bonding house was in
working order or that they had Sc
cured them through some other
means.
The closing OF the Morris bonding
house reflects no unsound financial
situation either in the Ashland banks
or elsewhere throughout the coun-
try This was no bank. Its failure
is due to the result OF a huge busi-
ness carried on very aggressiyely with
small consideration for the rules OF

prudence. The institution bought
bonds at the place of issue and sole
them to bond buyers all over the Pa
cific coast. While waiting for tn,
actual bonds to be delivered the hous'
sold them to individual buyers, issu
ing in lieu OF the actual bonds so-cal
led interim certificates to be taker
back by the house on delivery of the
bonds. Those who have failed TO re
ceiye their actual bonds are the ones
who may feel the result OF the clos
ing OF the bonding house. Others
will not be affected.
Absolutely no reflection of this fail
ure will fall upon the local banks.
These have purchased bonds for
themselves and customers, but in all
instances where the banks have made
these purchases, they have secured
either the bonds or sufficient secur-
ity therefor. This failure has not the
slightest connection with the local
financial institutions and will not be
felt in any manner in Ashland, save
among those individuals who pur-
chased bonds through the defunct
bonding house and hold an interim
certificate in the place of the actual
bond. The situation in Ashland is
sound to the core and will not be
affected in any manner by this fail.

SECOND SEMESTER OF CITY

The first semester of the school
year ls2O-f92l will close Friday,
January II. 1921 Through the
interest and courtesy of the patrons
and with the hearty cooperation and
earnest effort Of the student bodies
the semester has been quite a sue
cessful one. Until the closing weeks
before the holidays the attendance
was a record one from the stand
points OF number enrolled and the
number Of day attendance for each
pupil.
A few cases OF contagious disease
were responsible for the breaking up
of regular attendance and the best
team work, but happily now they are
free from the limitations placed upon
them. and on January 3. 1921. they
may expect to resume the old stan
dard in every respect.

CHICAGO CENTER FOR W.

Teaching for Women Is Particu-
larly Featured.

Among the active and effective
organizations doing Americanizatior
work in Chicago is the Woman's

center which has recently been es
tablished in the heart of foreign
district, the residents Of which are
mainly from South Central Europe

different in its method Of approach
from the practices in other Amerl'
canization centers.
Home teaching of the women OF
the household is the basis of the
plan adopted by the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. Visiting
teachers go into the houses of the
foreign speaking women, teaching
them English such as they need to
do their marketing and for commu-
nication with the trades people In
the neighborhood. AS the lessons
proceed, the knowledge OF English
grows until mother arrives at that
point in speaking and understanding
on an equal plane with tho husband
and father, who has learned, or Is
being taught in the factory or shop
where he works, and the children,
who are rapid ybeing Americanized

Suggestion for Water Supply.

To the Citizens of Ashland-A sug'
gestion for a permanent, convenient
and adequate water supply for Ash
land:
On the crest OF the hill just above
the Baptist church and running par
allel with the park, is the place for
a reservoir, an ideal site. With a
small barrier TO serve as intake at
the proper spot up the canyon and
a pipe line to conduct the water to
the reservoir. you have reserve
canyon.
With a reservoir 300 feet by 1900
feet and 10 feet deep can be had a
capacity of 100000 cubic feet, or
SS,662,337 gallons, or 1O3 acre feet
OF water, enough water to cover lO3
acres one foot deep, OF 100000 gal
Ions daily for nearly & year. This
would also add another item OF beau
ty and interest TO the city, and very
close by.
| believe the cost would be far less
than to undertake to create the same
volume of reserve anywhere in the
Ashland creek canyon. Also the
reservoir would be far more hygenic-
ally located. Surplus water which
now goes to waste most of the year
can be easily held and the problem
permanently solved.
The intake for such system would
be low enough in the canyon so that
it would not interfere with the power
plant. In fact no further expense
is necessary in the canyon except
the conduit pipe to the reservoir, as
the present small dam will do al
that is required.
1t should not be very difficult
matter for Ashland to raise the nee
essary funds. Since bonding is nee
essary, are there not ten people in
the city who could each take ten
thousand dollars worth, or one hun
dred citizens who could take one
thousand dollars worth each, and
pay the interest back to yourselves
thus keeping the money in the fam
ily," so to speak?
Think it over, and il you care tC
discuss the idea, bring forward al
the objections you can think of and
see how easily they can be disposed
OF and counterbalanced by the ben
efits. QUAIN.

information leading to the arrest and

for this action arises from the fact

the machine was carried off and can.
