FOR RENT FURNISHED HOUSE FOR RENT WITH USE OF PIANO" I wanted a furnished house of six rooms. I could not use five and I did not want eight. Six rooms was what I wanted, and here was an ad In the newspaper: "Furnished house for rent with use of piano." But tow many rooms? If this house was six rooms, then the advertise ment lost half of its efficiency be cause it did not read "Six-room t urulshed house to rent wtlh use of , rlano." Was the house modern? The ad did not tell it. If so, why lld not the ad read "Sis-room mod rn furnished house for rent with " wse of piano"? It would have been Just as easy. Then was the house Just furnished, or "well fur nished"? If so, then why not this aid: "Well furnished six room modern house with use of piano"? 1 did not have an automobile and wanted close In. This ad did not tell me that, so Instead of answer ing It I waited till I came to town. A real estate agent got hold of me and rented me another house. Later I discovered the one adver tised would have suited me better. It was a "we'l-furnlshed, six-room, modern house', close in, with use of piano." Why didn't the ad say so and got the tenant? E.

Date ot first publication, Ash land tidings, September 17, 1917. 34-2t Medford Bonding Plan Is Illegal The supreme court, by a unanl mous opinion rendered inureaay, knocks out the so-called Hanson re bonding plan fpr Medford and holds that the Bancroft act is valid and, as the street improvements of that city were ordered and laid under the pro visions of that act, those provisions must be followed In the payment of the assessments therefor. Medford paving assessments are largely still outstanding. In an ef fort to clean up Its Indebtedness and get the city finances In ship-shape, the city council employed Colonel Hanson of Seattle to canvass the sit uation and devise a plan that was at the same time workable and as fair as possible to all concerned. His plan was adopted by a vote of the i ""'" i- standing paving Improvement bonds;. This act Is the one declared illegal, which probably means that the prop erty owners will be called upon to pay their original assessments In The boy who won't study Latin because It won't help htm get the money to buy a six-cylinder car Is quite likely to be the one later who walks because he hasn't enough mon ey to ride In the trolley. Merchants who run a standing ad telling about lawnmowers In winter and heaters In summer are some times the same ones who complain that advertising doesn't pay. Phone newo Items to the Tidings.

What ever deficiencies there are will be supplied promptly from the national army as the guard will go first to the front. Aviation Corps Increased, since the president called the first 687,000 men of the national army, the signal corps, including the avia tion section, has been greatly ex panded. Nearly 100.000 additional men must be transferred to this serv ice alone.
