Chicago has a playground for mil lionaire kids. On land valued at $2,500 a front foot (land, by the way, "reclaimed" by filling Lake Michigan and barring the poor away from the lake front) the Lake Shore Drive millionaires have enclosed a, playground, that their children may i enjoy their sports and pastimes. j Luxurious limousines deposit the children at the entrance, liveried footmen open the gates for them. The moment the footmen disappear, the limousine rolls away, the young sters emit a wild whoop,' hurl costly hats and coats into heaps and, care less of finery or manicured hands, rush to ring around the rosy, base ball, tennis, swings, sliding boards. Meantime fond mammas gather and decide the children may have the right to issue "visitors cards" to other children "Just like our country clubs, don't you know." The interesting part of the experi ment is whether the natural-impulses of the healthy American child can resist the studied effort to train then Into a set of snobs, Store is Closed BEEB I & K11EY 1M Salespeople Wanted-Apply to B. W. Craig No Goods Sold Before Saturday Those military drives in Europe seem all right, but the putting is bum. Possibly the reason the Russians quit Radom was the fear the Teutons would raid 'em. The president of Andorra receives a salary of $15 a year and probably Is the one ruler who earns his sal ary. THE OVERHEAD EXPENSES RETAIL TRADE. OF The great bugbear of business Is the overhead or fixed charges of the enterprise. Here is where many a concern has met shipwreck. The prices generally prevailing in the trade. The sales seem to be bringing a good profit. But at the end of the year it is seen that the fixed charges have wiped out the profit. Cost of sales force, rent, taxes, heat, light, depreciation of equip ment, repair .etc., these run along the same whether people are coming to the store or not. The only way to reduce overhead charges is to do a large business. In which case the proportion of over head expense that has to be charged up to each Individual sale becomes leus. By Increasing the sales a loss can be turned Into profit. The only way to Increase sales is to solicit business activity. The cheapest form of solicitation is to put an advertisement in the newspaper. It tells about a merchant's goods to a thousand people while the merchant is talking to one person. Those troubled with chronic Indi gestlon will do well to try our new lithia water. John Rocho testifies, in the last issue of the Tidings, to its absolute curative powers when used for Indigestion. We feel like strong ly recommending It to at least one other Ashland citizen. If it cures his indigestion, like it did Rocho's, and makes as good booster out of him, we shall feel that it is worth all the money being now spent in develop ing It. Then, if It cures him, it will at once leap into prominence as a fine MM I if 1 1 II The Oldest National Bank in Jackson County Member Federal Reserve System j FIRST NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $120,00000 DEPOSITORY OF City of Ashland County of Jackson Stale of Oregon United States oi America medicine for "bad tummies."

Reed, who on Sunday occupies the pulpit of the Methodist church at Talent, on week days Is associated with the real estate firm of Hodgson & Whitmore. A perfect community like ours is the only kind in which a minister could engage in selling real estate and re main with character unsullied. "Some men hope and some men fret, Some have pride and some regret, But the good or ill depends, After all, on what you get." Mister Squeegee IIIIililllHIlliinillllllllllllllllllllillllllll!!!:!!!!! There are people who can be satisfied with little if they know their neighbors have less. This is a poor kind of philosophy. It is not necessary to recommend any such doctrine to those who buy Diamond Squeegee Tread Tires.

Yet England arbitrarily declared It con traband and by virtue of being "mls treFs of the sea" lias taken from the high seas Into her ports more tha;i twenty vessels carrying cargoes of foodstuffs from the United States to neuttal Holland, Denmark and Swe den and is holding them there. Wi don't hear much about this flagnnt violation of our rights, but maki a great fuss about the Lusltanla ait try to bluff the Germans from using the only effective weapons they hart to prevent England from thus divert ing our shlDB and cargoes. It look to us as it the Washington statesmen In charge of affairs are looking through the wrong end of their offi cial telescope. Apropos of Secretary Bryan's resig nation: If the "watchful 'waiting" policy of the administration is to be transferred from the Mexican bordar to the European theatre of war, It will be most fortunate for our country..
