Sunday morning in the Baptist church the pastor and his peop'e be gin a series of evangelistic meetings. So far as we know nt this time there will be no outside talent engaged. People who object to outside talent coming in and "taking a bunch of money out of the city" ought to rally to the help of the pastors and the lo cal workers in their special efforts. The message of the morning will be about "Him Who Knew No Sin." In the evening, "The Sinner's Friend." Sunday school will meet as usual at 9:45. B. Y. P. U. at 6:30. M. E. Church. In the absence of Rev. Douglass, District Superintendent Van Fossen had charge of the services at the church Sunday. In the morning his subject was "The Dawdling of Time." His discourse embodied many person al experiences, and was replete with illustrations showing forth the value of time and how we may broaden and enrich our lives by storing within our memories gem thoughts from the world's best literature, music and art. He placed special emphasis upon the cultivation of memory in our earlier years, showing that, as we grow older, we have an inexhaustible fund of thought wealth upon which to draw. Not only should we retain the best thoughts gleaned from the columns of literature, but we should also fast- come to all Dr. Van Fossen gave a brief but very illuminating elaboration of the Nineteenh Psalm. Taking it all in all, it was a serv ice that kept a "good taste ih our mouths." Band Making Good Progress The pioneer members of the Ash land band to the number of fifteen gathered Tuesday evening for their first practice of the year and will meet regularly once a week hereafter in preparation for the summer's work. Under the direction of Carl Loveland, who has proven himself the right man for the place, the boys who are tak ing up band work are making excel lent progress and will be drafted into the regular band as fast as they be come sufficiently proficient. More Interest is aroused In band work at present than ever before in the city and Ashland Is assured of a first-class 'organization by summer. Several of the young men of Ashland are taking up Instruments. Any band men who have had previous experience have a standing invitation from the Ashland band to join with them, and those who wish to begin on an instrument should get Into touch with Mr. Love land at once. The boys' band will meet Saturday, the old band Monday nights. Getting the Dollar From Under the Stump How Up lo Date Farmers Are Easily and Economically Realizing on Land Hitherto Impossible of Cultivation, ABOUT 400.000.000 acres of land A included lu farms throughout the United States are unim proved. Figuring that each acre could be made to produce at least $20 worth of produce per year, there is approximately $10,000,000,000 pro duction being lost annually. Quite a tidy figure. And when we take Into consideration that In many cases It re quires only the removal of sundry stumps and boulders to make this land prolltable, It certainly looks as though something might be done to save the waste. "Stumping with dynamite" is both an economical, quick and labor saving method as well as one that is growing hi popularity dally. The method Involved in the blasting of a Btump is to confine a quantity of explosive lu such a manner that when exploded .he expanding gases will lift the stump out of the ground. To se cure best results the charge should be placed in the toll well under the base of the stump at the point where the resistance offered to the force of the explosion will be equal on all sides. , Where the soil is of a heavy clay or plastic nature a slow acting powder is preferable, such as farm powder or stumping powder. Where the earth is sandy or loose and is apt to permit the easy escape of gases a fast explo sive, such as 40 to GO per cent dyna mite should be used. The condition of the soil with respect to moisture also has a great influence upon the amount of work that a certain quantity of pow der will do. After heavy rains when the soil is saturated to the base of the stump and the subsoil is just damp is a most favorable condition. No set rules as to the amount of powder necessary to blast a certain kind or slzo of stump can be given, since dliterent conditions govern all cases. Two stumps of the same size, kind and age of cut, when one is grown on well drained soil where the roots must penetrate a great depth for water and the other is grown on soil where there Is always water near the surface, will demand different treatment for extraction. The older stumps, especial ly If from timber free from resin, re quire less powder. The exact amount necessary for set conditions can, bow ever, be readily determined with a lit tle experimenting. Few tools and supplies are required. A one and one-half inch wood auger with a shank about four and one-half feet long, a medium sized crowbar, a round pointed shovel and a wooden tamping stick, together with the pow der, fuse and caps, will serve to fill the bill. Ashland Tidings wants ads bring results. tf Here's New Vigor For Overworked Stomachs McNair Bros., the popular drug gists, have been in the drug business long enough to have their own opinion of the best way of selllns medicines. They oay the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest they ever heard of. They don't believe that a medicine ought to be paid for unless It does the user some good. And Ml-o-na is sold un der a positive guarantee to relieve dyspepsia or to refund the money. You simply leave 50 cents on deposit with McNair Bros, and if, after you have used the box of Ml-o-na you de cide that it has done you no good, all you have to do is to tell them so and they will return your money, Hundreds of people have been re lieved of stomach agonies by using this remarkable remedy. It is not simply a food digester it is a medi cine that puts all of the digestive or gans into normal condition and gives ruddy, glowing, vigorous health. A change for the better will be seen af ter the first few doses of Mi-o-na, and its continued use will soon give the power to eat anything at any time and not suffer distress afterward. Use Mi-o-na and seo how much more there is in life. v;,:- aii, is?

Orchardists Talk Blight and Scab The imperative need of greater co operation between the ranchers and farmers of the valley with the county pathologist's office was emphasized at a largely attended meeting of orchardists at the Medford public library Saturday afternoon. County Pathologist C. C. Cate, A. C. Allen, district horticultural super visor; Lewis G. Gfentner, Mr. Cate's predecessor; Professor F. C. Reimer, in charge of the Talent experiment station, all spoke on the various prob lems of the orchardlst and made a special appeal for orchardists to co operate with the county experts. It was plain from the speeches made that the greatets problem at present before the local fruit grow ers is scab, and an interesting discus sion followed as to the best methods of combating this disease. Mr. Cate Is of the opinion that lime and sul phur treatment gives the best results, but he was favorable to atomic sul phur provided those adopting the lat ter treatment should confer with the pathologist's office and have a check upon their work. If also developed that blight is still prevalent, and while there is no cause for anlarm, there is need of continued vigilance and persistent in spection, with prompt cutting where Infection Is developing. Mr. Gentner Bpoke regarding the codling moth and said that investiga tions showed that it was necessary to spray for the moth on the average of once a month. Instead of the pest coming in broods at certain intervals, he said they were active locally throughout the season. While there was Illuminating dis cussion on all phases of horticultural work, the main object of the meeting was to establish a scientific working system, and from the large attend ance and keen interest shown there is reason to believe that the work of 1917 will be better organized than ever before. It was decided to hold similar meetings throughout the sea son in various districts of the county, when any subject the ranchers desire will be discussed and practical ad vice will be given by the county path ologist and others. Mr. Cate also announced that Pro fessor Potter of the department df animal husbandry at O. A. C. will de liver a lecture to those interested in livestock at the public library Satur day afternoon, January 31, at t o'clock. . To clean up dry fir and pine mixed wood, 12-inch ?2, 16-inch $2.25.
