THE VALVE OF HOSPITALITY.
Elsewhere in the Tidings today
appears a news item revealing the
value to Ashland of hospitality ex
tended to strangers by a citizen of
the town.
Because these results are concrete
and definable and can be verified by
anyone they bring forcibly home to
the reader what he himself may ac
complish if he has the disposition to
be a good live citizen, helpful to
himself and to his community. Many
times the results of advertising and
the extension of the "glad hand"
have to be " estimated and conse
quently are often discounted by the
pessimistic and overestimated by the
too sanguine. But when a man
through his own eforts, and entirely
aside and apart from his regular em'
ployment, can be the means of per
suading twelve families to locate in
community, and when seven
of the twelve are so convinced of the
desirability of the place for a home
that they will buy property, it is not
difficult to calculate that the bene
fits derived are far out of proportion
and in excess of the effort expended
to secure them.
In the particular instances cited
above the man to whom credit is
given for his loyalty to Ashland
states that the time he spent with
each of the twelve families would
not exceed from fifteen to thirty
minutes. In each of the twelve cases
the people have told him that they
would not have located here if they
had not been made to feel so much
at home. This made the town look
even better to them. We are aware
that these people probably talked
with others about town and found
in the town Itself the things to make
them happy here. However, from all
our Information at hand we conclude
that each of the twelve decisions
hung In the balance, so far as known,
until our fellow townsman tipped the
scales in the right direction. You
can do the same. You may not have
as much time as someone else and
you may not have an equal oppor
tunity to meet strangers, but you can
use the time and opportunity you do
have. After all it is not a question
so much of time and opportunity as
of disposition. YVith some the dispo
sition Is natural; with others it must
be cultivated; with all It is possible
to some extent. If. with a little of
your time and your genial hospital
ity, you can make someone feel that
Ashland is a good place in which to
live, you will have rendered a triple
service to the town, to the stranger
and to yourself meaning an ex
penditure on the part of the new
comer, taken as the head of an aver
age family, of probably not less than
$C00 per year and meaning for you
personally a new and perhaps a very
valuable friendship. If you can do
a third as well as the man we have
been talking about, and if there are
forty-eight more In town who can
do as well as you can. that will make
fifty good live boosters, for w-e are
satisfied that the insplrer of this
communication will continue his ef
forts. Without undue mental effort
we conclude that these fifty may be
able to brlns to town 200 new resl
dents who will spend $120,000 per
annum, and tf half of them buy
homes, $200,000 worth of real estate
will change hands. On the basis of
our calculation these results will be
secured with the expenditure, pri
marily, of ten days' time divided
among fifty persons only two hours
each. Is the result worth the effort T
We think so. However, the intangi
ble and direct results may far out
weigh the direct and immediate pe
cuniary returns. All people have
friends and some influence. Each
new resident becomes a link in an
endless chain the drawing power of
which can hardly be estimated. We
surmise that one way to build up a
town is to follow the lead of the
man who has accomplished the re
sults set forth. This with other
ways which will be devised from
time to time will put Ashland where
she belongs, among the celebrated
resorts and watering places of the
continent.

necessary.
The party platforms will be fully
discussed before election and the fol
lowing are a few of the subjects to

Good Gasoline
Easily Obtainable
A certain prominent automobile
manufacture, sta'ed, in a recent
newspaper article, that his new mo
tor was especially designed to han
dle low-grade gasoline, or "poor gas
oline" as he put It. "High-test gas
oline," he said, "is not easily ob
tainable in the most favored locali
ties." Commenting on this article, C. H.
Hamilton, district sales manager of
the Standard Oil Company, said yes
terday: "Evidently the Pacific coast
was overlooked by this manufactur
er in making up his list of most fa
vored localities.' Otherwise his state
ment regarding the scarcity of good
gasoline wouldn't hold good. For
Pacific coast motorists, at least,
should have no difficulty whatsoever
lu obtaining pure, high-test distilled
gasoline. Our company has been for
years, and now is, putting out only
this real, good, old-fashioned, all
refinery, unmixed gas, and our dis
tributing machinery has put this gas
oline Into practically every town and
hamlet on the Pacific coast. There's
no need for the Pacific coast motor
ist to go without good gasoline."
Perhaps it will be hard for the
boys who have been on the border
to readjust themselves to the hum
drum conditions of civil life, but if
the craving for excitement becomes
too strong they can get married.
That solemn economic fact that
wealth distribution and not wealth
production accounts for the world's
lack is borne out by the news that
Texas has more watermelons than
It can dispose of.
It Is reported that English women
are likely soon to get the right of
vote, and in view of the fact that
most of the men are now at the
front there really doesn't seem to be
any way to stop them.
