Never in the history of any city the cize of Ashland has there been such a gathering at a Commercial Club meeting as assembled at the Elks temple Friday night. -The occasion was a .big mineral springs banquet served by the ladies of the Civic Im provement Club. The Commercial Club may and should be made one of the greatest possible powers in the upbuilding of Ashland. Whether it becomes so or not depends upon YOU. It Is the duty of every citizen to join the club and bear his part in money, advice and work. Monday night eighty-one new members were added. That makes a total member ship of 335. Twelve hundred are needed. Is your name on the club rolls? The membership will never be complete until you have joined. The Ashland spirit is good.

Ashland, Ore., Thursday, Mar. 4, '15 Rig things to be done in Ashland the coming year. There is need for a strongly organized body and sys tematic work. The Commercial body Is the instrument with which effect ive good can be accomplished. Are you a member? If not, why not? Ashland needs leaders and follow ers. It Is the darndest town for none to desire to lead and none to follow, that ever happened. Every fellow seems to want to go it alone. Broth er, that will never do. Ashland peo ple niunt pull together. The big thing Is in sight. Let's get together and get it. were volunteers. They joined with out solicitation. That ia what you should do. Let's put a Bolid force be hind the commercial organization. It is the instrument through vhich all our vast enterprises must be organ ized, and without proper organization much of the force will be lost. To transform Ashland into a successful watering resort Is a big job. It takes united, co-operative effort. Every citizen must lend his best efforts and do his share. Twelve hundred members of the Commercial Club and Ashland can secure a fine tourist hotel, backed by men who can and will make it the best hostelry in southern Oregon. Eleven hundred and ninety-nine members and nothing doing in the hotel line. That is the situation. What are you going to do about it? Have you Joined the Commercial Club? Henceforward It will be a dis grace to live in Ashland and not be an active member. Ashland cannot build as she should unless every citi zen puts his shoulder to the wheel. One pound of organized effort la Ashland, must have this year be sides her mineral waters successfully mobilized in the park, a first-class tourist hotel and a well-appointed, modern, scientific water cure sani tarium. The hotel should cost one hundred and fifty thousand dollars complete and furnished; the sanitari um two hundred thousand. These must be raised with private capital. Many have thought one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars a large sum for six thousand of us to vote upon ourselves to establish a water ing resort. What shall we say of the small company of men who put one hundred and fifty thousand into a tourist hotel"? Think you not they must have reasonable assurance that the community will not lie down on the proposition? Is it unreasonable for them to ask that the community show good faith by providing a pub licity fund with which to exploit the enterprise and draw strangers here to patronize the hotel before they make such an Investment? Let's get the business side of the proposition In our heads and act like business men. If we do splendid success will follow our efforts. If we lie down it UQ People's Forum Miss Cogill on "The Younger Genera tion." Miss Alice Amelie Cogill, a student at the University of Oregon, lectured to a small but very appreciative audi ence at the Baptist church Tuesday evening. The subject of the lecture was "The Younger Generation." Miss Cogill said In part: ; .- "Our most precious national asset our younger generation. It is the duty of the great educative body of parents, teachers, ministers, all who are working for the betterment of society, to so conserve the youth of the nation that there shall be no wreckage and no waste of human material. This can best be done by emphasizing in' the home, in the school, in the church and everywhere else the importance of the four fund amental factors in human happiness: work, play love, and worship. "The younger generation should be taught that manual labor is wholly as honorable'and as dignified as mental labor. The idea that education is a means of escape from manual labor is all wrong. The idea that the cul tivated mind is so vastly superior to the hand of toil is all wrong." The idea that work is merely a means of acquiring money is all wrong. Work, for the sake the happiness and satisfaction to be found in work, is the keynote of successful living. "Play provides a balance for work. It Is the duty of the educative body to see that a proper balance is pre served, and to exercise firm control over the play factors In modern so ciety. "The younger generation should be tanght that romantic love is not the only type of love worthy its consider ation. The beauty and sacredness of family love should be made impress Ive, and the love for all humanity should be the greatest and most won derful of all. "Finally, no life Is rounded and complete which does not include the element of worship. The absence of the younger people from the house of worship is a current condition which must be remedied by a progressive theology. The church should stand as an avenue to finding heaven, and as a means of escaping hell, in this world." ARTHUR R. BLACKSTONE. u:nHiiinm:m; The Home Circle Thoughts from the Editorial Pen Parents should be cautious about giving their children permission to stay out of school. .

Home should not be a dark ened, narrow and exclusive place that Invites narrowness and selfish- npss in the individual. It should be a spot from which light and joy and good cheer radiate. There should be no faction in Ash land. There should be a mutual in terest In the prosperity of our people. When we see Indifference to the well being of its citizens, we see a town all wise men shun. Success and fail ure are each a part of life and often those who have made the hardest fight are vanquished in the race. Stop grumbling. Get up two hours earlier in the morning and do some thing out of your regular profession. Mind your own business and with all your might let other people's alone. Live within your means. Give away or sell your dog. Go to bed early. Talk less of your own peculiar gifts and virtues and more of those of your friends and neighbors. Be cheerful. Fulfill your promises. Pay jour aeoio.

Pr perty owners were sollcltedr but the money to purchase the site could not bo raised. A little later along came a theatre man and said he would put $50,000 dollars Into a modern theatre building If the city would furnish the site. But property owners failed to respond. About that time a few men began to prick up their ears. They saw an opportunity. Eight of them went in together and purchased a corner for $14,000 and a lot across the street for $10,000. Then they took options on all the property within two blocks each way from these sites and gave one for the hotel and the other for the theatre. Both buildings were. started and be fore they were completed they had made enough on their options to pay for the sites. Within a year they had cleared $22,000 besides on the In crease in values on their options and within four years had absolutely changed the map of the town. They had picked up the business section bodily and moved It four blocks and had some of the most valuable prop erty in the city. Did you ever think how easy It vonjd be to do that in Ashland today? malefactor of great wealth. The time hns come to steady down a bit and give business a chance to capture the markets of the world. Let not our object be to . destroy big business. Rather let us encourage it, eradicat ing the abuses and retaining the pow er for world competition. That pol icy will soon make America the com mercial power of the world. Big bus iness Is a nation builder when proper ly and scientifically regulated against abuse. The class attracted here by the springs will demand modern quarters and will be willing to pay handsome ly for them, but they will not take shelf-worn apartments at any price. The best way to kill Ashland Is to fill it with people and not be prepared to comfortably house them. If No. 16 should unload five hundred strangers In Ashland tomorrow night halt of them would have to sleep In the street and if fifty families should desire quarters there are not enough avail able houses in the city to supply them. Let's get ready. Prepared ness is half the battle. Standard legal blank forms of every kind may be procured at the Tidings office iu any quantity. HE THE BEST COUGH . REMEDY AT H Cheaper Than You Can Buy When yoti have a severe, stubborn cough or cold, you want the best possible medicine you can get, therefore, why not buy one which if guaranteed will be found the most satisfactory remedy ever used by you, and get your money refunded by the druggist of this city named below, whom you know to be ret sponsible, In ens it should not prove so, Instead of buying one purely on the ex aggerated claims of its manufacturer or on the strength of testimonials from others and run the chance of getting something worthless and wasting your money? In buying Scliiffrannn's Con centrated Expectorant, besides securing a absolute guarantee of its efficiency from these druggists, you also gut about eight times as much excellent cough medicine as ynu would In buying most any of the old-fashioned, ready-made slnds, because 50 cents worth makes a whole pint when mixed at home with simply one pint of sugar and one-half pint of water. This remedy positively does not contain chloroform, opium, morphine or any other narcotic and is unlike any other cough medicine. It is pleasant to take and children are fond of it. This druggist will refund the money to any person who finds this remedy does not give perfect satisfac tion, or if it is not found the very best ever used for coughs, colds, bron chitis, croup, whooping cough or hoarseness. You will bo the sole judge, and under this positlvo guar antee absolutely no risk is run in buying this remedy. Druggists everywhere are authorised te sell It under tho samo guarantee. If yeur druggist will nt keep It for you, order direct ot R. J. SchiCmann, St. Piul, Minn. Guaranteed here by McN&ir Bros., Druggists Good Words From Virginia,,, Editor Tidings: Have been follow ing the springs development with a close but keen interest, and as viewed from this distance by one more or less acquainted with the inside, the writer looks upon the action of the local committee that was ready to supply the funds as the most signifi cant fact toward Ashland's future prosperity that has been performed to date. It Is late, but must congratu late you on that "Springs Edition," just like a visit to the cloud-kissed city that isc entering into a new sphere. Yours for success, WM. G. YEAGER, Leads Manor Orchards, Maricham, Va. Advertising Suggestions, Editor Tidings: With your per mission I should like to offer a few suggestions in refeard to the advertis ing of our mineral springs, which, in my opinion, would prove beneficial. That is, to have the Commercial Club purchase a few thousand envelopes and have printed on the face oJ each a view of the city park, or something of the kind, together with an explana tion of our psrlngs, and I am sure that tho dealers who handle such goods would place them on sale. Also they might be in the hotels of the city for the use of their guests, and they would soon bo put In circulation. G. W. BENEDICT. Approves Our I'lnn. Fortland, Feb. 18, 1915. Mr. George W. Seager, Secretary Ashland Commercial Club, Ashland, 6re.: If you are Bending out a great number of those wonderfully attrac tive postal cards, showing Ashland and vicinity, you are surely doing some ' high-class advertising. The. scenes make one want to behold the originals. W. L. CUISSEY, Chief of Inquiry Bureau, Portland Commercial Club. In union there Is strength Is a say ing as old as it is true. It doesn't pay to be isolated and solitary. It Is bad for business and it is ruinous to any healthy growth of life. Be neigh borly. Don't sponge upon each other, but be kindly and helpful. We can not live upon bread alone. The brotherhood of humanity is a noble thought to cherish, and just as noble to practically live. Don't judge a man by his clothes. God made one and the tailor made the other. Don't judge a man by his family, for Cain belonged to a good family. Don't judge a man by his failure In life, for many a man fails because he i stoo honest to succeed. Don't judge a man by the house he lives In, for the lizard and the rat often inhabit the grander structure. When a man dies they who survive him ask what property has he left behind; the angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has sent before him. "It pays to advertise" Is as good a saying for the farmer as for the busi ness man in town, according to F. W. Habicht, a prominent Iowa farmer, living near Avoca. That was his tes timony given at the conclusion of a talk on advertising for the farmer by F. W. Beckman at the annual farm ers' short course at Iowa State Col lege. "I have just written a post card to the editor of the Avoca Jour nal," said Mr. Habicht, "asking him to change an ad I had in his last is sue, because most of the stuff adver tised was sold the day after the pa per came out. I put In an ad offering for sale a calf, some choice hogs and poultry. About half of it was sold to advantage twenty-four hours after wards. I wouldn't be surprised If the rest of it were gone when I get home. An ad in the borne paper al ways helps me sell my Btuff." Ik IntroMtcil In Ashland. Balrd, Texas, Feb. 2, 1915.
