"MY dream:
(By M. W.)
Once upon a noonday fiery
I began a little diary
Containing countless information
on the history of my past.
I was writing, half-way singing,
Suddenly there came a rlng'ng
As of someone harshly banging,
Banging hard and banging fast.
'Tis that crazy bill collector,
will drive mc mad at last,
He will ruin me at last.

DESTROY THE POISON OAK.
The poison oak senson Is on. Al
ready some citizens have been 'nfeot
d. It Is highly essential that a'l
poison oak be destroyed this spring.
Every citizen should mnke It h's busi
ness to destroy all sueh shrubs on bis
premises. It will never do to allow
the danger to thrrntr-n tourists com
ing here. Many of them do not know
the plant whn they see It. and Ash
land should protect the visitor by de
troy'ng every snrlg of It. Every citi
len should get busy with his grubbing
Iioe.

' PARK WORK PROGRESSING.
James Oalbreath is doing fine work
In the park, under direction of the
nark board. He has thousands of
flower plants In the hotbeds, has
about finished setting out the new
ahrubbery lately purchased, and the
lrhole park is assuming a spick and
apan appearance. Lithla park w!'l
certainly be a bemity epot a?ain th's
jyear.
Aga'n the women of Ashland have
demonstrated their successful meth
ods In pulling off the big Country
Store feature for the Red Cross bene
fit. The women turn out en masse,
and work work harmoniously and
effectively. That's the reason they
never fn'l. We have never heard It
said of an Ashland woman that she
would not work on 'a committee be
cause some other Ashland woman was
on the same committee.
