On the playground j no limit existed to their volubility,) but in school they could not express themselves. It was not simply that they could not discus; natters that' come up in lessons, tney couian t stand up at their desks and give a connected account of z ball game If you ask them to describe an excur sion they bad enjoyed, all they can say is, "It was great." And yet these are not the days of "Children should be eeen and not heard." Young America has the floor and is permitted to interrupt his elders at will. There are many mute inglorious Miltons in the world, having great gifts of observation and penetration. Their friends regret that they are so little known and appreciated. Usual ly they lack some gift of concentra tion. They can't focus their roaming genius and make it count They can't formulate logically their thoughts and place them connectedly before other people. It is a vital thing in a school to develop this cift The writing of es says and compositions is useful. Dec lamation of some other person's words helps toward self-possession. But these exercises doa't give readi ness of personal expression. In the contracts of life, the right word and sequence of ideas must be nearly in stantaneous. Probably debates are the most use ful means of bringing out this gift. Some people think that the power to think on your feet, to develop thought as you go along. Is needful only to the orator and statesman. But every business man needs it to sell his goods. Every professional man needs i.t to sell his ideas. And there Is no easier way for the person of humble position to rise, to sell his services to better adantage, than to show a gift for expressing ideas con nectedly and reasonably. WHAT OTHERS SAY. Portland Oregonian: Ashland prings, at Ashland, Ore., are receiv ing a larger share of attention from eastern travelers and from eastern railroads, and it is probable that they soon will become the mere a for thou sands of tourists annually. The following item in the monthly bulletin of the Chicago k Northwest ern Railroad is Indicative of the no tices that now are appearing In rail road publications everywhere: "The mineral springs at Ashland, Ore., which have long been known and used, ara being extensively im proved by the city. The waters of the litbia, soda ?nd sulphur springs will be piped into the heart of the city and dirtributed to various places where they will be furnlnhed for con sumption. Provision will also be made to pipe carbon dioxide gas with which the lithia and soda springs are heavily charged, and the gas will be used In the sanatorium, for gas baths administered under methods simitar to those at the water cures of Eu rope. Ashland is on the line of the Southern Pacific between San Fran cisco and Portland, and tourist tick ets are good for stopover at that point." A negro of Murphysboro, 111., who was convicted of the murder of a woman went to the gallows smoking a ten-cent cigar, according to a re cent press dispatch. What an ad for the cigar! - When some men fall to make a hit they try to fix the responsibility on the hammer. Ashland may well be proud of her schools. The following clipping tak en from the Bulletin issued by the University of Oregon, dealing with the survey of the Ashland schools completed last year under the per sonal direction of a board of promi nent educators of the northwest, is in itself an editorial: "To the Patrons of the Ashland Schools: "The committee for the construct ive survey of the Ashland public schools wishes to asure you that your school system is rendering efficient and economical service. We believe that your sons and daughters are re ceiving excellent training. Moreover, the parents and taxpayers of Ashland are to be congratulated upon possess ing a public school system of excep tional merit in spirit and practice. "It should be remembered, how ever, that the standards of education are progressive and that the oppor tunities and demands of life daily grow more complex. It will not do to rest upon the oars now. We therefore urge you to be ever on the alert to keep your schools in the van of progress so that Ashland's great est product, the coming generation, will grow to its fullest fruition and yield returns in most abundant measure." THIS PLACE NOT FOR SALE. One can find on any street In any community, "This Place for Sale" signs plastered on the front of houses or stuck up on posts on the lawn. We would like to suggest that here In Ashland every man who is not anx ious to sell, plae a sign, "This Place Not for Sale, Ashland Suits Us," where It may be prominently seen On second thought, this would hardly do. No owner of a well-kept lawn and a tidy house would deface his property with a sign, and it would be the property owner whose place is well kept who would have occasion to make use of our suggestion. The property owner who lets his place grow up to weeds has also a mind choked up with weeds and always sees the place In which ho would like to live, just over the mountain from bis present residence. HOW ABOUT IT? Do you, Mr. Drygoodsman or Mr, Grocerynian or clerk or manager of anv store, when asked what brand of canned peaches, or blankets, or cat sup is best, direct the customer to the niade-in-Oregon product, or do you direct him to the product upon which you make the biggest profit? In the long run, boosting the made-in-Ore-gon product when the product is up to quality, as It should be if you have it on your shelves, will pay and pay big. Preach "trade at home" and practice it when you do your buying. At the Portland Manufacturers and Land Products Show, which opens in Portland next week, a great propor tion of the staples which you have on your shelves will be shorn with Ore gon labels. Let us try it a round. GOTHIC THE NEW ARROW 2 for 25c COLLAR IT FITS THE CRAVAT ccurrr. Ptaaoov 4 eo.. inc. r Every Town. Every town has some one store where the loafers congregate to reg ulate the universe. Every town' has a postoffioe and a lot of folks who call for mail every day and never get any. Every town has a horrible example. He gets drunk. w8n't work, but his wife supports him and loves him with a dog-like fidelity no decent man can ever hope to receive. Every town has its own skinflint who discounts notes, buys up land, dresses like a tramp, and won't set his wife a new sto'e. Every town has a bad boy that a'l parents hold in horror and all boys love. Every town has its champion liar who lies for practice when he car.'t find anything else to lie about. Every town has its vicious tong 'tJ woman who makes trouble as the sparks fly upward. Every town has its village atheist. Every town has its areuer who will challenge any statement you cay make and prove it's not so. Every torn has its loud-mouth'I citizen who can't talk without mak ing a noise like a megaphone. Every toa has its leading citizen who heads every committee and al ways has a seat on the platform when there Is anything going on. Every town has its nice, speak-easy creature, who tries to be popular with everybody and whom nobody likes. Every town has Its grouch-face. 1 who is unfailingly confident the worst ' is yet to come. Every town has its good woman that everybody likes, and its honest man whose word is as good as bis bond. Every town has its group of men who know that the town is morally the worst in the state. Every town has a man who never wears a collar and a dude who pastes down his hair and sports a pink striped shirt. Every town carries its own peculiar 1 type of religious cranks.

If a town does not reach after the trade, it will come only as fast as It bas to, and It jwlll grow as it Is forced to.

We'll show you our schools and churches, our prosperous fraternal societies, our solid business concerns. We'll call your attention to the appearance of the people, their dress, intelligence, health and smiles of prosperous and happy ilves. We'll show you many successful business men and farmers. We'll show you lots of girls, robust and full of life and energy, who are fairly bubbling over with praise for this section of our great commonwealth.
