One suggested to the other, who was a grocery man's wife, that ahe should buy a two year's supply of a staple dry goods necessity which was marked down to an extraordi narily low price. Tlio groceryman's wife replied, "I can not afford it. I already have a supply for this year and can not afford to buy that far ahead. It is going to be a hard win ter." The other replied, "A hard winter can not affect you grocery people. Folks have got to eat." "That Is Just It," came the reply. "People have to eat." This is altogether too true. Peo ple must eat. No matter how little money there Is in the bank or how small the salary. No matter it the man of the house Is out of work or sick. People must eat. And here lies the reason for the economy of the groceryman's wife. When the wolf is at the door and the money sack Is empty, the groceryman gives credit ao that the family may eat. Some times It Is months until payment is received. In some cases the account Is a dead loss. How often Is credit refused? The total amount on the average groceryman's books In the spring before work opens up would astound the average person who thinks a groceryman has a constant steady Jncome. Yet the wholesale houses must have their money. They extend no credit. Who Is the real Christian, the real philanthropist? The person who goes around at Christmas with tho turkey for the poor man, or tho groceryman who actually keeps the poor mun with his capital through the winter? No wonder the groceryman looks for ward to a hard winter with forebod ing. And the groceryman's reward comes In the fat seasons of the year when everyone has money. The man whom he has aided pays his bill, per haps. But he pays the face amount and no Interest. Then he turns from his unrecognized benefactor with a smug sense of having actually done lilm a favor by paying up. He turns from the man who tided him over the winter and sends his cash to the big city or to the cash store In the next town where circumstances per mit of a slight reduction In occasion al articles or, even worse, he sends his money to the eastern mall order house, and as a result the net busi ness of the groreryman, regardless of cash or credit, IS ACTUALLY BIO V.Kll IN TUB IIAIID-TIMK SEASON THAN WHEN MONEY 13 PLENTI FUL. We might be all broken up over the fart thut James Couzens has re slgned his position as general man ager and vice-president of the Ford Automobile Company because of antl annanient and anti-loan utterances of Mr. Ford, but for the fact that Couzens visited Crater Lake last sum mer and Is the only man on record who has kicked about the greatest scenic wonder of the west. Mr. Couzens is recorded as having said, "The beauty of the lake Is no recom pense for the hardships endured in getting to it." In his rase the hard ships consisted of a five hours' auto mobile ride In a high-powered car. We learned tho other day of a rancher who lives not far from Ash land who papered his house with the Ashland Tidings. Were you ever confined to your bed in a room pa pered with wall paper of hideous de sign? 'f so, you would probably see the advantage In f lend rancher's method. KNOCKS. There are knocks, and again there are knocks. Just now the knock which is stirring np the Rogue Rirer raller is not of the common ordinary vacant lot brand of kicker's knock, but Is of the other kind, the KNOCK OF OPPORTUNITY. A million dol lars in capital is waiting at the door. Is the Rogue River valley "at home" m iitnm? Are vou. Mr. Farmer, content with the scant ut..iK tnat be dls"Iai in a S f you grind out of your .ana. prices ! 8blDDjr 10 raKiD8 up the afor6gaid fluctuating and market poor?

In the next thirty days the ralley wi!l either gain or lose a million-dol- ,erence ,n "eir PP"ance. lar industry. It does not depend upon the landowners alone. It depends' f;t People to Your Store. upon every man In the valley. I In talking recently with- a man who Hankers, merchants, all can by : ts made a big success as an adver their offers of co-operation with the : tiKing salesman, the question was farmer, Induce the landowner to sign asked him, "What has been the most up acreage. The sugar factory means 'effective argument you have used to the spending of large amounts of cash ; Induce merchants to advertise?" in the valley, not alone for l.e'-ts but ! "I ak them," the salesman replied, for fuel, labor and many other ne-"'hat proportion of the population cessities to the successful conducting of such an Industry. Let us answer the knock of opportunity with a ready hospitality which will adver- tise the progre?s!veness of southern Oregon. The Willamette valley, the. Umpqiia, the Klamath county and many other sections of Oregon are ready to grab the factory if the Rogue valley fails, it is the knock of opportunity. AX APPEAL FOR COMMUNITY SPIRIT. The people of Ashland are often unwilling to credit themselves with .nvthin- mnr than mediocrity. If one or tneir numoer aeveiops more than common ability they often have no knowledge of It. If they begin to suspect It, rather than encourage they become hostile with Jealousy. The people of Ashland are con stantly admitting that their stores, their professional men, their schools, are Inferior, and in doing this they admit their own Individual inferior ity. Every time a citizen goes away to trade he admits that his own town Is Inferior and that he himself as a member of that community is also inferior. Why should not citizens of Ashland co-operate In having the best stores, in educating their young men and women to the highest efficiency? Why Bhould they not cultivate It themselves? Just as soon as farmers and the people will begin buying everything at home, Ashland will begin to get bigger and better, the stores will be better, the schools and churches will be better, the professional men will be more able. No one will care to go away to buy cheap articles and worthless service, showing that they themselves are cheap and of no par ticular account. HOME BOOSTER. fJKT A TRANSFER. "If you are on the gloomy line, Get a transfer. If you're inclined to fret and pine, Get a transfer. Get off the track of doubt and gloom; Get on the Sunshine train, there's room Get a transfer. If you're on the worry train, Get a transfer. You must nor stay there and com plain, Get a transfer. The cheeful cars are passing through, And there's lots of room for you Get a transfer. If you are on the grouchy track, Get a transfer. Just take a happy special back Get a transfer. Jump on tho train and pull the rope That lands you at the stntlon Hope- Get a transfer." A married woman Is fond of hav ing her own way and she can't un derstand why her husband isn't. Many a lightheaded glrT wasn't born that way. w Made torn the right crude IB? The Home Circle Thought from the Editorial Pea We are forcibly reminded that "the melancholy days are come" by the amount of golden leaves plied indis criminately about. If father's pride and mother's Joy will direct half the ; ,v ty-four hours to make the lawns i about Ashland P"t a marked dif- , In the territory they serve has come j'nto their store within the past three months. "Very few df them, In reply to this j question, claim that any large pro- portion or me population nas come Into the store. A few say they have had 1 0 per cent of the people. Many- would admit not over 1 per cent of j the people had been In their store during that period. In many casps the proportion would be away below 1 per cent. "Then I say, how are all the rest of the people going to have any idea abont tne merlts of the 8t you carr ' lnp Pa';e of bualnesa twice a day. But they know nothing about what you are doing. You will never get their trade unless you seek after their bus iness and tell them what you have got. "To do that I tell them there are Just three things that can be done. They can send a salesman around from door to door to tell them about the goods. They can distribute hand bills or circular letters. Or they can advertise in the newspapers. "Newspaper advertising would not cost a twentieth of the cost of per sonal solicitation. It Is more effect ive, because it gets attention where a solicitor would be turned away. And a newspaper advertisement is read where a handbill goes to the wastebasket. If you don't care to adopt one of these methods, I tell them the great mass of people will continue to pass you by without knowing about your goods or giving you any business."

Our paper is being freqife.nltlp' complimented on its appearance and the amount and kind of matter It contains. Our citi zens can make the paper still more effective by liberal patronage, both In subscriptions and advertising. The paper will always endeavor to merit the patronage. An exchange says that an editor once applied at the door of hades for admission. "Well," replied his sable majesty, "we let one of your profes sion in here many years ago, and he kept up a continual row with bis former delinquent subscribers, and as we have more of that class of per sons than any other we have passed a law prohibiting the admission of editors."

WW w iinMMtttMT I I The Oldest National Member Federal FIRST NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $120,000.00 DEPOSITORY OF City of Ashland County of Jackson State of Oregon United States of America May Open Vast Copper Deposit Roseburg Review; Frank Gal breath, an assayer of minerals for the British Columbia Copper Company, arrived here yesterday and made an examination today of the mining properties of Harry Danfield of Port land .located in the Drew vicinity. Mr. Galbreath was sent here in the hope that his company will be able to extend their vast Interests to the cop per deposits of Douglas county. From information that the copper company, whose headquarters are at GrinA Forks, B. C, has already re ceived, the ore of this section is very favorable to being exploited at this time, according to Mr. Galbreath. The ore is wanted by the British gov ernment for copper Jacketing bullets for use in the European war. Mr. Galbreath will take samples from various parts of the Banfield claims, the rich ore with the poor, and if the percentage averages satisfactorily it is his opinion that the property will be bought and actual work of devel opment will begin within a couple of weeks. It will require about one week to complete the assays. This is the second time recently that the copper properties near Can- yonville have been examined. The Banfield claims are said to be about thirty miles from that place. Copper is now worth 18 cents a pound, which is a high price, and every workable claim In the country is be ing opened if possible. Mr. Gal breath will return here probably to morrow. We have a great big woodpile up by our house and are beginning to think that the hobo travel this year is falling off. The other morning a weary appearing gentleman started in toward the back door, but beat a precipitate retreat when he saw that stack of cordwood. The funny part of It Is that the wood belongs to our next door neighbor. 1 1 til 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 tttii 1 1 f VAUPEL'S Efce QUALITY STORE Moi wres ' VAUPEL'S wwncal 11 f rice ' Ml 1 Bank In Jackson County Reserve System j XO LOOKING RACK IX ASHLAXD.
