Af3TLAM TTDIXG8 Thai-MLi?, July 25, 1018. a(tb mom WHAT PBOPLB THINK 4 OF ASHLAND 1 Xtnong the Tecent cambers stop ping at the free auto park was a par ty composed of R. H. Applegate, wife, iwo children and father. These peo ple were taking a pleasure trip from Lake county, California, through this tectlon, and stopped off here, where the attraction of Ashland drew them to prolong their stay for over two eekg. Mr. Applegate said that the longer they stayed here the more infatuat ed they became with Ashland's park nd water. Nowhere on their tour had they struck the camping accom modations that they had obtained here, with the lights, good water, cooking facilities and many other conveniences provided at hand. "This park is the most beautiful llace we have ever seen," both Mr. and Mrs. Applegate declared. "The mineral waters are of such excellent raality, and the more one imbibes the more one wants. We have been lr. many parks on our way here from California, but nowhere have we Ktruck such fine camping facilities a right here in Ashland." The ApplegateR were also particu larly pleased with tho friendliness shown them by the people of Ash land. Many callers had visited their airp and showed them many cour tesies during their stay here. That spirit of friendliness Impressed the visitors very much with Ashland's tleslrabillty as a residence city. ' O. C. Eortzmeyer, secretary of the rnuicipal civil service board of Port land, who was In Ashland last week interesting men from this section to 2oln the police and fire department I of Portland, was much impressed v.ith the mineral waters In the park. Mr. Bortzmeyer was a prominent banker of Portland previous to his assuming his present position which he has taken up on account of war conditions. He was in Ashland two years ago when he was at tha head the Burton presidential campaign, and said he had made his first ac epaintance with the mineral waters at that time. Almost his first in quiry when he came hero last week was to find the way to the soda springs the water of which particu larly pleasing his taste While in this city M. Ilortxmeyer dated that he was able to purchase bottled Ashland llthla water In Port land, and that It was kept In his home constantly, as his mother-in-law, who makes her home 'Vtli them, onsldered her health nnch 'lenefit ted by its use. .Tames A. Burns, president cf On eida Institute, Kentucky, who was one of the Chautauqua le tu-ers this week, prefaced his aildiTi! Monda" night by saying that one c f the g.-cit-cst surprises to him ar 1 bert was the extreme beauty of As'ihnd a:id It park, which are the most binuti ful and best appointed he bad ever reen. Mr. Burns said he was for lur.ate to have been abb to attend a picnic with the Junior Clnutauqua In the park that aftemoo'i, which c.i thled him to -sea the park i i en tire splendor. "I have traelel from Portland, Maine, to Portlrnd, Ore gon," Mr. Burns raid fir. the-, "a id never have 1 seen so charr.:ir a city ns Ashland." Other ChaMtavnua en tertainers express3d themselves ul' ter the same manner. One of the numbers of Thavlu's hand told Presi dent Beed that he wished him to se cure a home for him in Ashland, h' considered this the Ideal pat of the orld. While the soldiers of one of the t'oop trains recently passing through Ashland was taking exercises o:i the ftrcets, the captain remarked to a bystander that he conslde rd Ashland one of the loveliest resldeiee places lie had ever seen. The good vnt?r jartlcularly appealed to the officer, nnd the merltH of the mineral sprlngi T-ere a source of much aJmi-ation. "I have often remarked in passing through here," the captain said, "that 1 thought Ashland would lie an Ideal place to make a home. The shady trees and well kept lawns and liomes, the cold, sparkling, pure mountain water are attractions that cne seldom finds- together In one community." For a man on !ils way to battle fields Ashland would cer tslnly present an attractive appear ance.

Tho speaker has returned from i he battle front with no elusions j.bout the Huns. The so-called "ex aggerated" reports of their atroci ties were carefully traced down, and were found to be actual truths, not exaggerations. In relating some of the Ecenes of the horrors that fol lowed in the trail of the Germans through Belgium and France Mr. Wirt did not take reports, but gave (ictual statements of actual facts ho saw with his own eyes. lie thrilled his audience with the ftories of what the Americans are doing In the battle Une3, and their i ositions w ith the allied nations. He related how the boys went over the top with a whoop and a yell, and how tlinlr perpetual cheerfulness is doing more to keep up the morale of the alllss who are weary of the perpetual warfare and all joyousness has long departed from their hearts. 1Kb lecture from start to finish was one that gripped the hearts of all ref'.-blooded Americans with a sense of pride in their part in this world v. ar.

We had planned to do a lot of other work mi Jackson county this year, but have not been permitted to sell the bonds and haven't any other funds to do the work. I am a strong believer In the Pacific highway and will do all I can to push the work to completion as we secure the funds." Mr. Booth, who looks after the highways in this part of the state, &a!d that the commission had petl-; other lines. Scientific training is in tioned the government for ?50.000 to. Oirpensable.

Honey of the Bible. It Is Interesting to note that tbe wild honey named In the Bible may not have been altogether the stores packed away by the bee In the hol lows of trees and between the rocks. There Is a clear, sweet liquid called honey dew found frequently on leaves and comes from the aphlds, the tiny "cows" cared for and "milked" by the ants for their saccharine substance. There was so much of It on the leave!) of the trees In oriental climes that It dripped down in considerable quanti ties to the ground. This must hnve been the kind named In . the book of Samuel where It says: "And nil they of the land came to a wood nnd there wns honey upon the ground. And when the people were come Into tho wood behold the honey dropped." History of the Sword. The sword came from ancient Egypt nnd was used through Palestine, Syria ' and Asia Minor, India riid throughout the western world. It was In EgJTt that the three shapes of the sword I blade originated, these being the j straight, the curved and the half j curved. The Roman sword wns larger than that of the Greeks and In the i days of the empire many of the sheaths were so covered with precious stones as to be veritable nrt treasures.

' ', O l-vf . i J';. . .- ....... ! 00 NOT APPEAL TO VISITOR Writer Frankly Expresses Feeling of Disappointment at Sight of Build . Inga Within Kremlin Walla. To me none of the ten churches with in the Kremlin walla Is Impressive. Ivan Veliki towers the highest, but jt Is far from Imposing, writes Maynnrd Owen Williams In the Christian Her ald. From one side It resembles a tow er rather than a church, yet It has no such quiet dignity as one finds In tho Kutnh Minnr, near Delhi, or the tow- l crlng dome of St. Sophia with Its flanking needle minarets. The other cnthcdruls are dropped around with careless abandon nnd n nice disregard for the cost of gold leaf, but none of them dominates n vista or gathers about Itself the other masses In pleas ing array. The Kremlin is a mighty whole, composed of many unlmposlng parts. Its long red walls and splendid gates produce an effect of simple strength which cannot bo found within their portals. The Interiors are as disappointing as are the groups of domes which dis tinguish the exteriors. None Is large, none is truly Intimate. The effect Is of surplus gilt nnd multiplicity of saints which remind one of the gopurams of India. Spindle-shanked saints, whose emaciated figures seem too weak to support their gilt linloes, alternate with knights In armor. PRIMITIVE WAYS M ARABIA Mode of Life Differs Little From What It Was in the Time of Abraham. It appears that In certain parts of tho Arabian desert life Is as primitive us In Abraham's time. Sheep are still slain to seal a vow. The salt or bread covennnt is observed and when a man dies his tent Is torn down and , destroyed. ,Mtl IIIUIHT.-5 unc lii.-r,n, .iiwt-i., Airi- nnuer, tie., lire mil in common use among Arabs, although pronounced "Yusuf."

The evil eye superstition Is common, and the first injunction giv en n foreigner by experienced Arabian, travelers is that he must not point at animals or persons in Arab settle ments; Arabs say that n man possessed of tnls ,,lalln Power can look at a bird ! flying iii the air and It will drop dead; j that if he chooses to cast his wicked spoil on a canx-l It may go lume, or a i ,, . . , . , . ... , child may be struck blind.
