The spirit of loyalty tp the school and its work can not be drilled into children by punishment or nagging. It takes knowledge of the child mind and the arguments that appeal to It. There are teachers who have no par ticularly magnetic personality, but somehow they succeed in making the children feel that they want to study. They arouse the spirit of competi tion and make the youngsters asham ed to fall behind. They stir the spirit of ambition and make a boy see that if he wants to get higher In life he must do some work. A teacher that has these gifts Is a prize not to be parted with readily. Too many com munities lose such teachers from be ing too parsimonious to give small advances in salary. It Is poor policy to let any teacher go who has the gift of inspiring youthful enthusiasm. NU TINGS The Tidings has a greater circulation in Ashland and it trade territory than all other local papers combined.

Few of the citizens of Josephine county appreciate the interesting and unique pioneer history i of southern Oregon. The older residents fall to appreciate how Interesting it is be cause they were a part of it and can not Judge It from an impersonal view point. Most of the newcomers do not know it and the few who are ac quainted with it have heard it dis cussed In a common-place way. The pioneer history of this section of the state Is as interesting as that of any section of the continent,. It is replete with stories of adventure and heroism, hardship, conquering of dif ficulties, fabulous success by indi viduals, Indian treachery and Indian helpfulness. How many know that the . first electoral recall in the history of Ore gon, if not in the history of the Vnlted State was at Jacksonville? How many know the story of gather ing every woman in Jackson county into a ,log stockade to defend them against Indians. How many know cf the times when miners paid a dol lar apiece for bringing letteirs by stage from San Francisco? The sec tion Is filled with such memories. We have reached the day when many of those who know the stories f pioneer days from experience and by hearing them from the Hps of their parents are passing to the great beyond. A few years' delay and many of those stories will be lost to posterity. They richly deserve per petuation. There should be a central place, both In Jackson and Josephine coun ties, for the gathering, Indexing and storing of records and relics of the pioneer era. In lieu of their pro visions, the public library might be used for this purpose. The expense would be very slight. A committee could be appointed to solicit such relics and data. Tosslbly a little ex pense In the way of supplying sten ographic service should be provided. Some time most Interesting vol umes will be published on early eouthern Oregon history. The ma terial should be on hand and authen tic. Rogue River Courier. FOOD PRODUCT DISTRD3UTION. The provision man has quite a problem to know how to push his product at the present high prevail ing prices. In a time of high prices dealers sometimes say that It is of no use to advertise, because all their prices will seem high to the people who read their ads. Nevertheless, and good wide-awake merchant has talking points that he can use at any time. ' If he sells a high quality of products he can ad vertise the fact that his meats and groceries can be absolutely depended upon. He can bear down on the idea that everything that goes out of his store is of the very besd That will attract a lot of people even In high price times. If a man delivers provisions by team he can emphasize the pains he ianco iu piease iiiu customers, mai jhe saves them all the trouble and jtime of coming to the store, waiting jfor goods, and the bother of carrying them home. That will appeal to a lot of people. Or If he cuts out delivery nnd sells only for cash, he can of course afford to sell cheaper If he can get the same volume of business. He should be in, a position to advertise lower prices nnd draw the attention of those who consider price first. Every man has some argument that will appeal to a lot of people who want the kind of thing he provides, and who will go to him when they find that he Is ca tering to their Individual desires.

Every time a dealer gets something that has spec Inl value, then Is the golden chance for him to push his business. The people that come In to see the special bargains will be attracted by the solid worth of his regular lines. DIGGING IN. The American boys, It Is paid, do not take kindly to the art of "dig ging In" for modem trench warfare. It does not appeal to their love for direct action nnd positive and Imme diate results. However, they must learn the art. and realize how big a part It has played to date In the great game. The Italians In this country are sometimes ridiculed as "ditch dig gers," though the contribution they have made to this land in the crea tion of so many sewer ditches and railroad embankments is nothing to be sneezed at, not at present prices of labor. This capacity for hard and quick muscular exertion In excavat ing shelter has won them many a peak in the heroic Alpine fighting. Also it was ability to dig In quick ly that saved the Germans from be ing driven out of France in 1914. There was a state of flux there fob lowing the battle of the Marae, when Just a little faster pressure would have routed them out. But they could dig a little faster than the ar tillery could catch up, and .before the guns could get at them the trenches had become Impregnable for two year. Old-fashioned warfare showed he roes standmg upright and hewing down around them in a spectacular way. Or there were long lines of sol diers standing up and fifing at each other. It was very dramatic, nnd made fine spectacular civil war pic tures we are all familiar with. But this kind of warfare Is dead today, and those fhat fight that way are soon dead too. The teachings of the old war text books have all gone by. It Is a new game even for the war experts as well as for the raw material. So far the spade has played quite as impor tant a part as the rifle, and our boys will have to learn to use It. In "No Man's Land" the least little earth protection saves lives, and our boys will have to learn to create It quickly under fire and often when lying down. .

Place Your Affairs In Our Hands. At last the mystery has been s61ved. For the past two months ;the local people have been perplexed and dumfounded over the small ; showing of Ashland boys who have enlisted In the navy: Group after group have Joined the aviation corps, the officers' training school, the ar tillery branches and the many other departments of the service, but a very small percentage of the local boys Joined the navy. Early this morning the man who has charge of the nut storeroom in a local garage, who as special NUT correspondent to this paper has worked Incessantly on the problem, solved the baffling question when he found out that all the recruiting posters which have been distributed about the city have read, "Join the navy nnd live on water." The first company mess might be scanty, but they at least have more than water to live on.

Claude Warren is now clerking at Holmes' grocery store, and he is sure making good. A party, while making purchases for a trip to Mt. Ashland, Saturday, asked, "Have you any eggs that you will guarantee have no chickens in them?" "Sure, I have," replied Claude; "some duck eggs." Leave It to Claude to get away with It. ' gon and other parts of the country, is evidenced by a wire Just received by the Commercial Club, which has also been active in the matter", from Senator Charles L. McNary. The senator has taken the matter up with the quartermaster general at Washington, and declares that the government will purchase both mares and geldings at the rate of 15 per cent of mares to 85 per cent of geld ings. It is hoped by those here who !are Interested in the matter to In j crease the per cent of mares. Washington officials decided at first not to purchase any mares for UBe In the war, fearing that such a move would deplete the stock throughout the country for breeding purposes. It has been pointed out, however, by those heavily Interested in the business that the ranges are now overcrowded with horses, and the Increasing use of motor vehicles Is reducing the demand to such an extent that If there is not a greater call for them their owners will be forced out of business. j INTERURBAN AUTOCAR CO. i Leave Ashland for Medford, Talent and Phoenix dally except Sunday ai :uu a. m. ana i:oo, 4:00 and 6:15 p.m. Also on Saturday night at 6:30.

This does not mean a perfunctory submission to au thority, where the children are suffl Clently scared to keep quite. It means a condition where the pupils loyally take bold to work and where they feel responsibility for the con dition of the school,. . In the old days things never set tled down In a school until the mat ter of authority had been firmly set tled. In the backwoods districts niany were the unfortunate peda gogues who were dumped out of doors in the bushes by the big boys.. When the school board secured a more athletic instructor, quiet reigned and the pupils worked as do ctlly as old sheep. In a more refined way the same thing is tried out everywhere. In subordinate children work their little tricks, not because the tricks are es sentially Interesting, but they want to flqd out Just how far they can safely go.

M) Hill On account of depleted finances, State Game Warden Shoemaker has lopped off fourteen deputy game war dens, who will be relieved from duty October 1. One warden Is kept for each of ten districts of the state. Mr. Shoemaker states: "The necessity for revoking these deputy wardens' commissions Is due to a continued decrease In the sale of game licenses. The sale of these licenses has decreased for a number of reasons. "First, several thousand licenses were not taken out in northwestern Oregon this year on account of the duck season having closed on De cember SI, Instead of January 15, as heretofore. "Secondly, OreEon has sent to the front as her quota in this war about 8,000 men, ranging from the ages of 18 to 30. The great majority of these are-'sportsmen who have been in the habit of taking out either a hunter's or angler's or combination license in the past. "And third, the closing of the hunting season shut off a great sale pf licenses to the people who ' take their annual racatlon the first two weeks of the deer season." Setting forth these facts. Mr. Shoemaker sent communications last week to the deputy wardens and also to every rod and gun club In the state. lining l m ufi an Comply With the Law AND USE: M For plumbing of general repair work call George Carey, 462 Allison street.
