ASHLAND THE HKAl'Tll'TI.
In tho development of the mineral
springs project the women of Ash
land are about to realize their fond
est hopes. Ashland Is going to be
developed along civic and aesthetic
lines. For with the watering resort
development must come the beautify
ing of the place. The general rose
planting day, the clean-up daya, all
look toward making Ashland the city
beautiful. Thousands of peopk' will j
bo attracted here to drink our health-
giving waters, to bask amidst our;
beautiful scenery and enjoy our line;
climate. Strangers they will be, and
the Impresslous they get of Ashland
will count for much, not only in In-1
duclng their friends to visit this re-1
sort, but that they may become j
charmed enough with Ashland to set-i
tie here permanently. The ladies of;
Ashland are to be congratulated on j
their unceasing labors to this end. !

WHY THE Rl'NNER StXREl. '
Steaming in exultant strength
across the blue Atlantic on its first
voyage to the New World, the largest
' and finest passenger craft thnt ever
j floated, the Vaterland, from Ham
I burg, is now plowing the deep,
i It is as long as from the postofflce
to the Elks Temple. Its carrying ca
pacity is as great as that of forty long
freight trains. It could house an
army. It has the sumptuonsness, the
luxury and the conveniences of the
finest hotel.
Moreover, its builders have exhaust
ed the wit and cunning of man in
their endeavors to make it safe. It
is really two ships in one. so that,
should disaster befall the outer skin,
the inner would keep the great boat
afloat.
"I'nsinkable," the experts say.
So they said of the Titanic.
Meanwhile, across the paths of
travel in the north Atlantic, drifting
down in glitter or fog. stretches a
great Ice floe. 450 miles long, some
sea captains say.
Luckily this menace to human saf
ety is known and charted.
Fortunately the seadog on the Va
terland's quarterdeck is watchful and
careful. In the zone of danger there
will be no "full speed ahead."
At staggering cost our mariners
have learned a lesson of caution.
Yet' let's hope there'll be no test
of the great greyhound's endurance;
no mishap to pit the puny strength
of man in a death grapple with the
lli-inging l" of Mothers.
A young person has been writing
an article on the bringing up of moth
ers. Thirty years ago mothers were
not brought up; they just grew. They
wore caps early, gave up dancing
when their children were in short
frocks and knickerbockers, and de
veloped all sorts of Incorrect ideas
about chaperons and flirtations. For
merly the young idea was trained the
way it should go. Now the old tree
is pruned and pared into shape. Girls
have assumed the responsibility of
looking after their mothers. Mothers
are kept to see to a well-ordered
house, coax refractory fathers and at
tend to bores. They must, moreover,
be ornamental, look well at the head
of the table, dress becomingly, keep
up with the fashions, look nice when
the girls take them out with them,
and smile encouragingly at the young
men. Nor are their morals forgot
ten. Frequently one hears a girl
say: "It is an interesting show, but
not one I'd care to take my mother
to."

The committee on exhibits Is mak

coast.
To this end A. L. Lamb, as chair
man of the exhibit, is devoting almost
his entire time. He is especially

words should correspond with her
heart. The smile of her face should

she should loathe intrigue, she should
