Wheat For Canada Chicago, Aug. 10. Wheat prices averaged an advance of about 2V4 cents a buBhel Saturday on the report that Canada was about to remove the duty against American wheat. The same news caused a drop of about cents in the Winnipeg market. The Canadian wheat crop is extremely tohort this season and such heavy withdrawals have been made by Eu rope that it was feared that a famine mould result. Peaches are Ripening Slowly Local orchardlsta report that the peach crop, especially on the unlrri gated trees, is ripening much slower than last year.

Good and wife are in the city to spend several weeks. They have been making their home in Portland. Their old friends will wel come their stay In Ashland.

Two teams and wagons accompanied the party, who intend to walk most of the way. Tne uggage was piled in the wagons. Those who get tired of walking will be able to rest by taking turns riding n the wagon. C. A. Eliason and John lelman each took a team and wagon. The Tidings wishes the outing party very pleasant trip. , Medford Dogs To be Muzzled The Medford city council has passed an ordinance compelling all dogs to be tied up or muzzled during the months of July, August and Sep tember of each year. The city fath ers of our sister city evidently cling to the old tradition that rabies only exist during dog days. One of the widest spread epidemics of the dis ease, however, took place in Jiinne- sota in midwinter, when the ther mometer rarely went above the zero point. Are Home From Summer School Professors C. A. Briscoe and G. W Milam, Miss Kaiser and Messrs. Peter Spencer and Ray Thomas returned Sunday afternoon from Eugene, where they had been attending sum' roer school. Miss Engle returned several days previous. All report a very pleasant and profitable session English Troops , Landed in France Paris, August 10. It was of ficially announced Saturday that English troops under the direction of French officers are disembarking on French Boil. The point of disem barkation is not revealed. The dis embarkation was witnessed by a crowd that cheered the Englishmen. California Daily Goes Bankrupt The life of a daily paper in a small city is strenuous at the best and often disastrous. The Dally Tribune, at Chlco. closed down last week, five attachments having been filed within a week. A labor claim for $132 from the city editor was the straw that broke the camel's back. Building In Shasta Valley M. M. Sheldon came over Saturday from the Little Shasta Valley in northern California, where he is do ing a large amount of contract build ing. He states that things are lively there and that he will be there till the first of October or longer. He expects to return tomorrow. Belgians Capture German Shipping Antwerp, Belgium, Aug. 10.

French troops Saturday invaded Alsace-Lorraine. The official report of the French invasion says the French troops crossed into Alsace and delivered a fierce attack on the German forces at Altkirch. The French troops took the city, a place of nearly 40,000 inhabitants. The German forces retreated, pur sued by the French troops in the direction of the great forest of Muel- hausen. The Alsatian natives were so de lighted at the arrival of French sol diers that they tore up the frontier posts. Railroad time tables and summer resort folders never looked better. Drug Section Closed Down George W. Trefren, trustee of the Fourth Street Drug Store, has closed the prescription department of the store and Is now merely selling pro prietary medicines and common rem edies in original packages. Mr. Tref ren and Mrs. L. J. Trefren are look ing after the store now and conduct ing the soda fountain business in con nection. Dr. Brower is always at the store at the time of the afternoon trains to look after any emergency drug business among the passengers, Ashland Butter For Alaska i- The Ashland creamery has just made another shipment of butter to Fairbanks, Alaska. Ashland butter is becoming widely known and appre ciated. Man Found Dead in His Bunk.

None of the other men heard anything from him during the night and when he failed to arise this morning an Investigation proved him to be dead. He had been on the works about six weeks and several of his fellow work men had known him several years. He had followed railroad and similar construction work for years, but little is known of him. His remains were brought to Dodge's undertaking par lors today. What Ashland Needs. C. P. R., Vancouver. Give us a good-riddance-to-rats recipe. Reply. A mixture of five . parts plaster of paries, one part pulverized sugar, one part flour thoroughly mixed and set near the runways of mice and rats will clear the premises of them. The mixture does not In jure poultry. It is the plaster of Paris that does the business with the rodents. There is nothing wrong with those battleships that Uncle Sara has (or sale. Uncle merely wants in place of thein an up-to-date, 1917 under slung racing model superdread nought. Mrs. Goolher of Klamath Falls is In Ashland for several days. She will attend the wedding of her son Harry to Miss Maude Rlppey of Medford. On the whole it is evident the oil Interests have other investments that are profitable than those in Mexico.

The head epigrammatist of the great wit and humor factory bent over his work bench and rested his gaze npon an epigram that had been used and used until it was cracked and frazzled. "It's a shame to throw it away," he said, "for 1 believe it can still be turn ed about so that it will have a com mercial value. I know what I will do. I will offer a prize to the workman who brings In the best new twist" So when the workmen were gathered In the room he told them that he want ed them to beat out a new and clever turn upon the old motto "A bird in the hand Is worth two in the bush." He gave them just one hour at their an vils, with a monetary prize for the best effort and honorable mention for the others. When the time was up this assortment was handed in: "A chauffeur in the front seat is worth two under the motorcar." "A kiss In the dark is worth two un der the electric light." "A grain of sand on the beach Is worth two in the eye." "A gift from a husband after mar riage is worth two from a lover be fore." "A week's wages In bank Is worth two in a trousers pocket that the wife Is going through at night." And, while the first four received honorable mention, it was the last one that won the prize. New York Sun. BLOWN TO SAFETY. Curious Incident of an ExDloion That Wrecked Fifty Home. It happened that in the last month of the reign of Charles I. a certain ship chandler of London was foolish enough to busy himself over a barrel of gunpowder with a lighted candle in his hand. He paid the price of bis folly. A spark fell into the gunpow der, and the place was blown up. The trouble was that the man who did the mischief was not the only one to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked, and the number of people who were killed was not known. In one house among the fifty a moth er had put her buby into Its cradle to sleep before the explosion occurred. What became of the mother no oue ever knew, but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning there was found upon the leads of the Church of Allhallows a young child In a cradle, buby and cradle being entirely uninjured by the explosion that had lifted both to such a giddy height. It was never learned who the child was, but she was adopted by a gentle man of the parish and grew to woman hood. She must surely all her life have had a peculiar Interest In that church. Sir Walter Besaut's "Lon don." Misplaced Sympathy. Sitting near the door In a subway car was a middle aged man reading a newspaper. At oue station there got aboard this car a mother and her son. a small boy maybe four years old. As those two came through the door way and into the car the small boy, quite by accident, of course, hit the middle aged gentleman reading the newspaper a good, smart kick on the shin, causing the man to wince, while the boy's progress was checked for a moment by his thus kicking up against something. The mother looked down, but she said nothing to the man. It was to the boy she spoke: "Did you hurt yourself, dear?" Which seemed a case of misplaced sympathy. New York Sun. The City and the Child. New York city the length and breadth of Manhattan and Boston from the Fenway in three directions to the water front, are as unfit for a child to grow up In as the basement of china store for a calf. There might be bay enough on such a floor for calf, as there is doubtless air enough on a New York city street for a child, It is not the lack of things not even air In a city that renders life next to impossible there. It Is rather the mul titude of things. City life is a three ringed circus, with a continuous per formance and interminable sideshows and peunuts and pink lemonade. It Is jarred and jostled and trampled and crowded and hurried, and it is over stimulated, spindling and premature. Suburban Life. Studied Insult. "I wish," said the waiter who had been serving the man with the grim face and the pert looking girl, "I could think of some way to get even with that fellow. He complained about ev erythtng 1 put on the table and growl ed about every move I made." "What did his bill amount to?" "A dollar and ninety cents." "And how much money did he hand you?" "A two dollar bill." "It's easy, nave It in two nickels when you return bis change," Chlea go Herald. Legend of a Lake. Avernus Is the lake In the neigh borbood of Naples where the waters are so unwnoiesome that birds never fly near Its banks. In ancient times It was thought to be the entrance to hades and where Ulysses descended to the lower regions. Not Always Certain. Daughter A certain young man sent, me some flowers this morning. Mam maDon't say "a certain young man,' my dear. There Is none of 'em certain till you've got 'em. Wha They Should Appear and the Order In Which They Coma. The milk teeth (first teeth) are twen ty In number. The time at which they appear is subject to considerable va riations, even under normal conditions. The following table gives the order and average time of appearance of the different teeth: Two lower central incisors, six to nine mouths. Four upper incisors, eight to twelve months. Two lower lateral incisors and four anterior molars, twelve to fifteen months. Four canines, eighteen to twenty-four mouths. Four posterior molars, twenty-four to thirty mouths. At one year of age a child should have six teeth. At one and one-half years it should have twelve teeth. At two years it should have sixteen teeth. At two and one-half years it should have twenty teeth. It is not easy to explain where there are so often variations from the aver age. The order in which the teeth ap pear is more regular than the time of their appearance. Marked Irregulari ties in order of the appearance of the teeth are the rule in Idiotic children or those suffering from slighter mental effects. Delayed dentition is generally caus ed by rickets. Many healthy children, however, frequently have no teeth ap pear until the tenth month of age. Philadelphia Record. BATHING IN JAPAN. Natives Wash Themselves Clean Before Getting Into the Tub. Partial accounts of the luxury f a Japauese bath lead us to believe that we have something yet to learn about what is regarded by many in this coun try as a necessity and by more as a supererogation in Japan the bath is not only a necessity, but a delightful recreation. The Japanese have a way of their own of taking a bath. They have a system that in some respects resem bles that enforced at swimming pools in this country. You must first wash the body thoroughly, and then you en ter the tub, the water of which is heated by an Individual system. There, If you are In a public bathhouse, you may smoke and doze and chat with your friends in a dissipation that is said to be exceedingly refreshing. The water is kept hot. perhaps increases in hent, and when you leave the tub it is still regarded as fit for the next cus tomer. In a private house the master and mistress may have their baths first, and the same water serves for the lnvigoratlon and diversion of the serv ants. The ignorant foreigner, who goes into the Japauese tub for the pur pose of cleansing his body and with soap spoils the water for further use, is not only guilty of a social error, but entails a hardship on the household. In cluding the servants. Rochester Dem ocrat Recognized. A Pennsylvania lawyer known throughout the state for his sharpness once met bis match in a very unex pected quarter. An old woman was being cross ex amined by him as to bow the testator had looked when he made a remurk to her about some relatives. '1 don't remember. He's been dead three years," she answered testily. 'Do you mean to tell me that your memory Is so bad that you cannot go back three years?" demanded the at torney. The witness was silent "Did he look anything like me?" the lawyer finally ventured. 'Seems to me he did have the same sort of vacant look," responded the old lady. New Orleans Tlmes-Plcayune. An Unconventional Duke. Kew Parish church had among for mer worshipers the first Duke of Cam bridge, a strong but unconventional churchman, who made audible com ments while the service was in progress.- To the exhortation, "Let us pray," he would reply, "By all means," and during a dry summer he added to the "Amen" after the prayer for rain. "But we sha'n't get It till the wind changes." On bearing the words, "For we brought nothing Into the world, neither may we carry anything out" he would ejaculate, "True, true; too many calls upon us for that" London Globe. The Smile of God's Love. As the Ice upon the mountain, when tne warm ureatn or summer a sun i breathes upon it melts and divides Into drops, each of which reflects an image of the sun, so life, In the smile of God's love, divides Itself Into separate forms, each bearing in it and reflecting an im age of God's love. Longfellow. The Noblest Arms. We may talk what we please of lil ies, and lions rampant, and spread eagles, In fields d'or or d'argent. but if heraldry were guided by reason a plow in a field of aruble would be the most noble and ancient arms.

Plaint of a Woman Who Was Shadow ed by a Detective. "Acquaintance with a detective Iff not the good thing some people may imagine," said a young woman whe has never yet been accused of being an adventuress or anything else that te supposed to get one's name on the: front pages of the newspapers. "A few months ago 1 was robbed or a belt that I prized very highly because It was unique and cannot be duplicat ed. I spent considerable money and had the assistance of a headquarters detective, but without recovering the belt "That was all well enough, but the other day as I was walking down Broadway I saw Mr. Detective, ne saw me, too, and remembered that he had seen me somewhere, but bad evi dently forgotten the circumstances. He 'shadowed' me for a block; then, when I turned Into a store be slipped into a doorway and waited for me to come out Again he shadowed me till I turned Into my doorway. "At that point he seemed to sudden ly remember that he had known me a a client, not as a victim, for as I look ed back he seemed to have a sheepInU look In his face as he turned and walk ed rapidly away." New York Globe. New York's First Mayor. The first mayor of New York, Thom as Wlllett was Inducted into office In June, 1005.

Willett vho was a shrewd business man, governed New York honestly and well and after his first term of one year was made mayor again in 1607. The municipal government of which he was the head was composed of five aldermen, three Dutch and two English, and a sheriff, although police duties devolved largely upon the mayor, and he was police magistrate as well. New York World. A Wonderful Drummer. Probably the most remarkable drum mer who ever lived was Jean Henri, the famous tambour major of the Em peror Napoleon. One of his feats was te play on fifteen different toned drums at the same time In so soft and harmo nious a manner that instead of the deafening uproar that might have been expected the effect was that of a novel and complete instrument In playing he passed from one drum to the other with such wonderful quickness that the eyes of the spectators could hardly follow the movement of bis hands and: body. Mansfield's Humor. Richard Mansfield's bumor was of ten misapprehended for conceit One night the company was playing1 under a tin roof upon which a sudden downpour of rain caused a terrific clat ter. This startled Mansfield Into ex claiming, "What's that noise?" "Rain, sir," was the answer. "Tell It to stop!" ordered the actor fiercely. New York Globe. She Was Prepared. "I trust. Miss Tapplt," said the be nevolent employer to his stenographer, "that you have something in reserve for a rainy day." "Yes. sir." said the earnest young: woman. "I am going to marry a man named Mackintosh." Perfectly Plausible. Cautious Customer But if he's m young horse, why do bis legs bend so?
