Asleep, within her gray-green bower Where manzanita grows, The Siskiyous' Sleeping Beauty lies . In a perpetual doze. There, undisturbed, for many years, The balsam of the pine Has scented her soft, slumberous breath And made her "sleep just fine." But, fated, like all beauties rare, To waken man's desire, She, too, has stirred the hearts of men And set their brains on fire. Prince Progress, doughty modern knight, Has vowed to woo and win her Though Silver Gray-beards croak, "Beware Of Progress, spacious sinner." Alarmed, these Silver Grafl-beards ewear To guard fair Ashland's slumber, To keep things "Bate and sane" and slow, And take the speed fiend's number. Prince Progress, though, is not dis mayed, For, in his automobile, He keeps on coming just the same, Nor heeds their shouts of "Whoa, Bill!" With rosy Hope for his chauffeur, His tonneau lines with money If his honks don't wake Ashland up, I think it will be funny. board and faithfully represent the In terests of the mothers on the board. The club women are making no effort to defeat others who may be candidates. They are simply work ing for representation, to which they feel the mothers of Ashland and club women generally are entitled. As this is the first election in which the women are to make an or ganized effort, the result will be of great weight in future public affairs. The Teacup Club will have a din ner in the park Tuesday. The Wednesday Club will meet iith Mrs. H. H. Lufkin, 167 Church street. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gaddis, Mr. and Sirs. Hall Piatt and sons spent Sun day at the soda springs. The Jolly Jokers meet with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Barneburg tomorrow evening. This will be the last meet ing of the season. A mistake was made in the name of one of those entered in the lawn contest in the last issue of the Tid ings, namely, Mrs. Emma Willlson, when it should have been Mrs. Kmma Million. The Last Call. (Mrs. E. J. Sexsmith.) The last gong has sounded and Ashland is at last waking up. But there still lies within its peaceful borders, a few old Rip Van Winkles who seem to slumber on. Oh, why do they sleep when there is but one more day of grace? Wake up, old Rip! Wake up! Stretch your lazy limbs, lift up your languid body; your sleepy eyes and gather up the fragments of your old rusty gun and hasten with it to the gunshop for repairs that you may fire the first salute after the bonds have carried. Now move ye on eastward via the beautiful Boulevard until you come to a big square hole of bubbling, sig- zling, gurgling water, then kneel ye down and drink of its delicious mix ture. Drink i 'drintf"! drink! until you begin to have a soothing, cooling, sat isfying fe?iin;;' creep through your sluggish veiny; then get up and shnf fie your feet a little pace south and westward until you come to another larger and deeper hole, which is filled with hot, seething, coaxy water. This is nature's bathtub, the fountain of youth. Now drag your withered old frame to the top of the spring-board and tumble in, and when the scales begin to drop from your stpid eyes, so you can sight straight, and your feet begin to tingle as if you couldn't stand still, but must be up and going, and your hands feel itchy for the touch of your old gun, and your mus cles strong and your nerves steady, then get ye out and shake your shag gy head and haste ye to the barber's to be shorn for the great tomorrow. You are now young you are handsome and are now ready for the bride that awaits you, the winsome, vivacious, healty, beautiful Ashland. Deciding Influence In Bond Election The last word has been said. In the campaign for the bonds. . It is now up to the voters to decide as individuals as they go to the polls to cast their ballot of silent decision. The committee will be satisfied with the result as they place com plete confidence in both the develop ment of the springs and the farsight edness of Ashland people. The development of our mineral waters has been discussed pro and con for months. The people have in vestigated for themselves and are thoroughly informed. Eleventh-hour campaigning has not been the purpose of those who are making an effort to put Ashland on the map. The committee feel the decision is largely in the hands of the women. And we believe the final decision ren dered by the home-loving, progressive women of Ashland will be in the irght, and final. It is now up to the women to show their earnestness by casting their bal lots early on election day. Vote early and make the election a real expression of the whole citizen ship and no one can question the de cision, whether it be favorable or unfavorable. Ashlanders' Mother Dead at Ripe Age MIbs Laura McDowell of Central Point came to the city Decoration day. She returned last week after visiting with Miss Helen Prior at the home of Mrs. W. II. Smith, on East Slain street. The Thimble Club met with Mrs. J. H. Turner on Friday of last week. A pleasant afternoon was spent. Re freshments of strawberry shortcake, cream and coffee were served. An almost full attendance was reported. Wooden Wedding. On Sunday a number of old friends from Ashland and vicinity surprised Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Wheeler, It being their wooden wedding anniversary. A aumber of presents were received suitable to the occasion, such as a rolling pin, wooden spoons and clothespins in large quantities. In a way it was a double surprise, being the thirty-fourth anniversary of two of the guests, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Arnold of Granite City Hospital, who also received valuable presents. Mr .and Mrs. Wheeler have Just iTin'ahed their fourth year of teaching :in tic Wagner Creek school. The --ight1i rade were successful In their . examinations and were each presented tvlth a diploma at the close of school. Mr. Wheeler leaves this evening on the Rose Festival special for Portland . ujid other Willamette Valley points. Women lVfcbt Representation. The Parent-Teacher Association -has placed before the voters at the school clevtlon 011 June 15 the name of Mrs. E. C. Card for member of Ike school board. The women's clubs of tb city are to take an active part la the school work In the future. They frel to the women falls the greater burden of the work of educa tion. They are the ones most inter ested In the development of the city schools and therefore they are desir ous of having representation on the school board. , Airs. Gard 1as received the en tSvrscment of the women generally eoi4 particularly the club women. She tuts linen Identified with the civic de velopments for years and has taken an active continuous part in every movement calculated for botterment. Sh has been' an ardent worker, spar ing no time and sacrifice to accom lillfh the things desired. Her friends Teel that the will make an excellent nri active member of the school '.'Kiddies Day" At the Vining 1 ao one doubted last Saturday that it was "kiddies' day" at the Vining. There were big kiddies and little kid dies, young and old. The spirit of youth fairly bubbled over everywhere. Long before half after two they be- ban pouring in the doors of the thea tre, despite the Inclemency of the weather. They came on foot, in bug gies, in autos, any way to get there for what child has not heard of Cin derella? To say that their fondest dreams were realized puts it mildly. Cinder ella's part was taken by Mabel Telia ferro, the charming Italian actress. Sindeiella and Prince Charming won the hearts of everyone, the Fairy Godmother won their hearty ap plause, while in the transformation scenes they fairly quivered with ex citement. The play ends happily and but reflected the same happy spirit which was throughout the theatre. The audience were then delighted with two vocal selections by Miss Beu lah Wallace, which proved her an accomplished actress as well as pleas ing singer. The next reel, "When Grandfather and Grandmother Were Young," showed the costumes of earlier days, though the hearts of the children sixty years ago seemed pretty much the same as today. The closing feature, "The Children of Japan," was highly entertaining as well as instructive. The children were allowed to talk aloud and were given the freedom of the entire theatre, but excellent order was preserved throughout the entire program. All children of 12 years of age and under were guests of the Vining both afternoon and evening, and many children attended both er- formances. When Mr. Irving Vining announced that he would try to se cure for the children special features at least once a month the boys and girls were wild with enthusiasm and gave a demonstration of genuine Joy at the prospect. The mothers of Ashland have long wanted days at the "movies" when special films adapted for children would be put on 'the Bcreen, as the educational value of the pictures has been demonstrated conclusively. The management of the Vining can feel highly complimented at the words of praise from the adults and the great pleasure they gave the chil dren for their initial kiddles' day. A MOTHER. Word was received Friday morning announcing the death in Satsop, Wash., of Mrs. L. A. Oberg, mother of Mrs. H. J. Carter, Mrs. M. S. Van Leer and William Glenn of Ashland, after a lingering illness extending over several months. All her chil dren were at her bedside when the end came. Mrs. Oberg was a pioneer of Wash ington, having resided in Satsop for more than sixty years. She was the mother of thirteen children, two by a former marriage, the father and two children having preceded her many years ago. Eleven children, by her last marriage survive to mourn. Mrs. Oberg was a woman of un usual business ability, and in addi tion to raising the large family man aged to accumulate valuable land in Washington. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and a member of the Women of Wood craft. :Hi, For several years she has spent the winter months with her children in Ashland and has a host of friends here. The funeral services were held Sunday. Carnival Queen Visits Ashland This morning at 7:30 Queen Thelma, of the Kingdom of the Rose, visited Ashland. She and her attend ants were met at the train by repre sentatives of the Civic Improvement Club, Commercial Club and other so cieties. As the hour was rather ear ly there was not a very large crowd attendant. They were taken up from the depot by Ed Staples' big steamer and at the city park the Rose Queen per formed the ceremony of planting a La France rose bush. Mayor Johnson, in behalf of the city, made a speech of acceptation of the rose, which had become fam ous with the honor of being planted with a queen's hands. The queen made a little address, followed by a talk by each of her ladies in waiting. The secretary for the queen and carnival gave a talk about the carnival, Its features, amusements, educational value, etc., and urged all to attend if It were possible. The ladies in waiting distributed pink roses. Mrs. C. B. Lamkin of the Civic Improvement Club presented the queen and her party with a beau tiful bouquet of La France roses, while the rest of the ladies handed out the Ashland rose Gruss en Tep litz.

At 10 o'clock a program of speeches and papers on the Sunflower Hiaie win oe given, louowea by a basket picnic from 12 to 2 o'clock.

She is known to many in the Rogue river and has been secured for this date by President Billings, Popular Vote On Pathologist George Putnam says in the Med ford Mail Tribune: The question of employing a pathologist to take the place of Professor O'Gara will be submitted to a vote of the people of Jackson county at the November elec tion, if County Commissioner Joe Smith has his way. The fruitgrowers' committee recommended the appoint ment of M. P. Henderson of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, to be employed jointly by the county and the state under direction of the Oregon Agri cultural College. The county was asked to put up f2,000 and the state $2,000. "The gentlemen who are request ing a pathologist's appointment," said Mr. Smtih, "made a political issue out of fruit inspection and the path ologist's office at the primary elec tion. Now that they have placed it in politics I cannot see why it should not remain there and let the people vote upon it next November and decide the matter. "Furthermore, I do not see why wc should employ an experienced student as an expert pathologist and educate him at a fancy salary at public ex pense. If the O. A. C. wants to con trol the field, let them put a patholo gist at the head of the experiment Station." To Visit Brother After 21 Years Mrs. E. C. Gard For School Board At the May meeting of the East Side Parent-Teacher Circle It was unanimously carried that there should be two ladles on our school board and that at the coming election on June 15 some candidate from the Ea.st Side should be selected to take the initiative. Mrs. E. C. Gard, who has been Identified with ladles' club work for eight years, was one of the ladles In strumental in manual training and domestic science being placed in our public schools, and as president of the Sunshine Club has worked for the boys and girls and perhaps under stands their needs better than any other woman in Ashland, has been chosen as the candidate. Therefore they feel no mistake in placing Mrs. Gard on the school board for the next term of election. . . Why not buy this week at End ers'. Lower prices.
