Under the above heading an ex change gives the following good ad vice: If you meet a man who is down in the mouth, who thinks that his town is all wrong, just take him aside or give him a ride and hand him this quaint little song: "There are fancier towns than our own little town, there are towns that are big ger, than this, and the people who live in the tinnier towns all city ex citement will miss. There are things you can see in a wealthier town that you can't in the town that is small; and yet up and down there Is no oth er town like our own little town after all. It may be that the street through the heart of our town Isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight, but the neighbors you know In our own little town with a welcome your coming will wait. In the glittering streets of the glitter ing town with its palace and pave ment and thrall; in the midst of the throng you'll frequently long for our own little town after all. If you live and work and trade in our town, In pite of the fact that it's small, you'll find that the town our own little town la the best kind of a town af ter all." lisher the small pittance of a year's subscription borrow It week after week, and soliloquize on their adept ness at getting so much ahead of the editor. In ten months up to May 1, 1915, exports of horses from the United States were 215,759, valued at $47, 250,000, as compared with 20,239, worth $3,000,000, in the correspond ing period of the preceding year. Most of them went to Europe for war use. France received 98,146, Eng land 71,095, Canada 27,281, other countries 18,637. The average export value of this year's horses wus $221. 50; last year $144.18. A man has Invented a contribution box with a bell attachment. When a penny Is dropped in it rings very feebly, a nickel produces a louder noise and a dollar brings out the fire department and a brass band two blocks down the street. When that merry little bell clanks At a grade crossing and that merry little red light begins to dance In the dark, you had better Btop your ma chine and find out what It Is about. These automatic warnings work, but, like all warnings, they are worthless If not heeded. Every school boy knows that a kite will not fly unless there Is a string tying It down. It is Just so in life. The man who Is tied down by half a dozen blooming responsibilities and their mother will make a higher and atronger flight than the bachelor who, having nothing to keep him iteady, is always floundering In the mud. If you want to ascend In the world, tie yourself to somebody. Let us cultivate a public spirit and talk less and work more. Encourage our local authorities In making Im provements. Speak up, speak well, talk encouragingly of Ashland and Its bright prospects. It is these many little considerations that make a town grow. Nature has showered upon us her choicest blessings, and with perfect unity and effort for the good of our common cause, great will be the result. Mr. Retailer, your windows are worth money to you they are the periscope by which passersby see your store. Put goods in the win dows, the people want to see. For one thing, put In the products the manufacturers are advertising In this newspaper. Put them in at the time they are being advertised. Swinging your windows In tune with the news paper advertising puts your store In the public eye. People who read the advertisements and see the goods be gin to think of those brands In con nection with you. This Is advertis ing your store. The city editor has a warm place In his heart for the friends who bring or send In news items. It la the de sire of the Tidings to give all the news of the time, and those who lend us their assistance to that end have our unbounded gratitude. Selfishness kills more towns than any other cause. When you find a town where Its business men look only to their own aggrandizement, look for the writing on the wall, for It Is doomed. No place yet has ever prospered unless Its citizens went to work upon a universal platform of the greatest good to the greatest number. One-eyed ideas won't win; neither will a selfish desire to mo nopolize some line of business. Work together for the common good, for unless your town prospers you can't prosper. There are those lots of 'em that receive ten dollars' worth of favors very year through their county pa pers, and yet so begrudge the pub- Of every million people 800 are blind and the other 999,200 can not see their own faults.

Says Brakemcn Treat Hoboes Well The Oregon City Courier tells of a visit of a wandering nomad to their office and spreads a very entertain ing story of his monologue on travel over their front page. It is not often that we have an opportunity to see Oregon as if looks to a "hobo." He Is quoted as saying: "Down at San Diego I had good luck, and got a job as a 'wild man from the Philippines' for a couple of weeks. But at San Francisco I could n't even get a hand-out. They are so tight at that fair there that even the cops have to pay to get In. Com ing out of Frisco there were 138 other fellows on the same freight train, and they all agreed that Cali fornia was no place for a poor man. It may be all right for tourists, but only the kind that smell of gasoilne. "Coming up into Oregon things got different. This side of Ashland the 'shacks' on the train didn't even try to collect fare from us "side-door passengers,' and in some of the towns the cops would even come down to camp at night and drink some of our coffee. When we got lip into the hop country some of the constables bothered us a bit, and tried to get us to go to work picking lice off the vines, but most of us old-timers said our fingers were sore, and they let us beat it out on the next train." Get your watch repairing done at Johnson's Jewelry Store. 97-tf ACTION OF SINGLE SPOONFUL SURPRISES MANY Ashland people who bought the simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka are surprised at the INSTANT effect of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This rem edy Is so complete a bowel cleanser that It is used successfully in append icitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH up per an.l lower bowel and ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour or .gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after you take it the casses rumble and pass out. T. K.

Al Jo Secretary, Salem, Ore. nes, T I Three-Dollar Motion Picture The surprise of the year in the moving picture world was the phe nomenal success of Director Grif fiths' great production, "The Birth of a Nation." The surprise came not because of the wonderful reception accorded the picture, which is indeed one of the greatest if not the great est yet produced, but because of the fact that when first shown In New York city $2 were paid for all the best seats. The picture ran for many months at this unheard of price for a moving picture. "The Birth of a Nation," or "The Clansman," as It Is often called, recently made Its debut at Portland with $1 as the top price. The picture will get to Ashland and the other small cities in a few months. In San Francisco it is com pleting a several months' run, the price now being 75 cents. On top of this success comes the announcement of the Griffith people that new plays are being produced at the Inco studios which will be shown in New York at the Knickerbocker theatre with a price of $3 for the best seats. If your watch does not give you satisfaction take It to Johnson the Jeweler. ' 97-tf When are "The Gows" coming?

STANDARD OIL COMPANY, (California) , Portland The Judge Says Put a package of those real corn flakes these New Post Toaste on trial beside a package of any other corn flakes on the market. The jury will bringin a verdict of "guilty" guilty of being the finest corn flakes ever made. The New Post Toasties are crisp and appetizing, with a true corn flavour; and they don't mush down when milk or cream is added. But here's the real test. Take a handful, fresh from the package, and eat them without cream or milk. Mighty good, aren't they? Notice the little "puffs" on each flake a distin guishing characteristic resulting from the new method of cooking and toasting, which also brings out and enhances the wonderful, true corn flavour. Your Grocer has the New Post Toasties. Try them and bring in your verdict "Delicious" 'I
