EAT WE MUST,
The conversation occurred In an
Ashland store. Two ladies were shop
ping. 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

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.

many other sections of Oregon are
ready to grab the factory if the
Rogue valley fails, it is the knock

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.

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."
An order of the postofflce depart
ment which went Into effect Septem
ber 1 provides that fourth class mail
shall not be registered, but may be
insured against loss in any amount
equivalent to the actual value, but
not to exceed $5 In any one case, on
payment of a fee of 3 cents; not to
exceed $25 on payment of a fee of 5
cents; not to exceed $.10 on payment
of a fee of 10 cents, or not to exceed
$100 on a payment of a fee of 25
cents, In addition to the postage.

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

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."
Some men who have words with
their wives are proud of the privilege.

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.
