How many voters are aware that on Tuesday they will vote at two city elections? One for the election of city officers and one to change the charter In an important manner The writer saw two notices posted at the door of the city hall leading to the council chamber and went over to read them. He found one to be a notice of election of city officers and the other a-notice calling a special election to amend the city charter to conform to the new state law affect Ing city elections. How many voters are aware or will be aware until they appear at the polls, that these dec tlon are to be held. In the Juilg ment of the council it appears to lie your duty to go to the city hall and read the notices so you will be able to vote intelligently on the issues Otherwise how can you become ac quainted with the Intention of the election. This form of notice smacks so much of gum shoe meth ods as to raise a suspicion in the minds of the uninitiated as to wheth er the council Is attempting to put something over the people. We think not, and hope not, but we do know that a wider publicity of the Inten tions of the council, especially In the matter of special elections at which the people are expected to cast an In telligent ballot, would be a safe guard to the public against official who might design to put one over on' the people. would be sure to happen were open publicity dispensed with for the in complete private notice system. READ THOMAS' OPEN LETTER Senator Thomas' open letter pub lished in another column of this Is sue, should be read by everyone be fore they go to the polls. He has struck a key vital to Jackson county. In carrying out the state highway movemeit Jackson county should be given credit for the five hundred thousand dollars already expended. She is entitled to-le reimbursed out of state road funds for all she has expended oh the Pacific highway in excess of what other counties have expended. Thomas makes this his main Issue. Ho realizes the Justice In such a claim and will push It to a successful conclusion. If anybody can secure the reimbursement by the state to Jackson county of the five hundred thousand dollars already expended Senator Thomas can do It. He should have the hearty support of all Jackson county taxpayers. m 41 m mm illil ISil kfii I m ' it ! I es Xlh9 bank ylth the Chtma, Clock." War Relief El Funds IN the.

(Paid Advertisement) pulslve to Putnam Gardner has gath ered the Idea that he was elected to serve the taxpayers of Jackson coun ty and not the Putnam selfish politl cal machine and has been doing that regardless of the vituperation heaped on him by the erstwhile political boss of Jackson county. Therefore he falls under the displeasure of the great and only Putnam and he would destroy him. The taxpayers, likely, will look differently at the situation and elect Gardner by an overwhelm Ing majority. COUNTY REPUBLICAN TICKET 8 late Senator C. M. Thomas, of Medford.

Sometimes the better candi date Is found on the opposite party ticket and then It follows that the ticket shouldjje scratched. But this year the republican candidates fill all the requirements of encumbancy from the top of the ticket to the bot tom of It. , Therefore we recommend that the tloket be voted straight. It will be elected If a full vote Is regis tered. The only danger lies. In leth argy. Be sure and vote and vote early. NOTICE TO PATRONS. In order to insure publica tion in the Tuesday issue of the Tidings it will be neces sary to have all advertise? ments In the Tidings' office by 9' o'clock a. m.. and all news items by noon on Mondays. DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY. WESTERLUND OUR FRIEND, J. A. Westerlund has served al ready two terms In the legislature. At Salem he proved himself a good friend to Ashland In supporting measures beneficial to the city. He Is a capable legislator and no good reason Is given why he should not be elected. Because he was our good friend when we needed help Is a good reason why we should support him now. The best wey to secure future good turns is to show appre ciation for past favors. Vote for Westerlund Tuesday. G. A. GARDNER POPULAR CANDIDATE George A. Gardner is an exceed Ingly popular candidate for county Judge In this end of the county. He has been eminently fair to all sec tions of the county in his capacity as County Clerk and the people be lieve that when he says he will give every section of the county a square deal as county Judge he means ev ery word of It. Besides Mr. Gardner Is one of the best qualified men in Jackson coulnty to administer the office of County Judge. VOTE FOR BEN SHELDON .

PUBLISHING TAX LIST That part owners or mortgage holders will have to pay fees to title companies to investigate whether taxes are paid upon many classes pf property Is the condition that will be faced If the Jackson bill is enacted Tuesday. The bill abolishes publication of the delinquent tax list, and substitutes flimsy and neces sarily Incomplete system of private notification by mall. The mail notice cannot reach more than one person, while there are many pieces of property that are owned Jointly, or In which an indi vidual owns an equity. The taxes might go unpaid for many years without such owners ever having any chance to find out about It. Often the party receiving the mall notice would have failed to pay the taxes, and his associates in ownership would be entirely wlthou protec tion unless they engaged the services of a title company to look up the records, a servlco which might be expensive. ' Besides the actual owner of prop erty, there are holders of mortgages, purchasers under contract, assignees of contracts, holders of unrecorded Instruments, lessees and others who are Interested In the payment of taxes. Mall notice would never reach these interested parties. Un der the present system of annual publication anyone can see whether the taxes are paid or not, and those Interested In property on which taxes have become delinquent are enabled to take proper steps for their own protection. Confusion, misrepresentation, de lay In tax payments and gross breaches In trust are all certain to be fostered by abolishing publica tion and substituting the inadequate system of mail notices No one own ing any interest in a piece of prop will vote against tax list publication after carefully considering what LADIES Of Ashland If you have any Furs you wish repaired or remodeled I F.

FACTS ABOUT WOOL THE NEED for CONSERVATION is apparent to all, in the present acknowledged SHORTAGE of WOOL, and the growing anxiety as to the question of FUTURE SUPPLY. This problem is ever Increasing in Importance because of the tremendous demands already made, and in Immediate prospect for the QUARTERMAS TERS department in providing adequate clothing and equipment for an army whose present estimated maximum will be five million men. The requirements for such an enormous military establish ment can be shown in brief, by the TEXTILE WORLD in issue of recent date, in the following interesting data. It has been estimated that 70 lbs. of scoured wool per year will be required for each man In active service, which, on the basis of present army estimates, will call for 350 million pounds. It will readily be seen from the' standpoint of military ne cessity alone, that an unprecedented demand for this commodity has been created. In addition, the needs of the civilian population, even tho reduced to a minimum, contributes another enormous total to those of the military estimates. The extent to which restriction is being placed on civilian consumption of wool is aptly illustrated by a recent order from the war industries board prohibiting the manu facture of hard knitting yarns of wool until further notice. Witn this unprecedented demand on tho world's supply of wool, we find the following far from reassuring facts: The United States produces annually about 110 million pounds of scoured wool or about one-third of the wool required for an army of five million men, which appears to be the present esti mated ultimate size of the army. The other sources of supply such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentine are cut off on account of the enormous demands of the war department for the transportation facilities to France. So It is up to the people who stay at home to have their old clothing re claimed by having them cleaned and pressed or dyed. Master service Is our motto. Have Y6u Tried KAKi)?

The Government has advanced the price of Oregon and Washington Wheats. To meet this advance Manufacturers ol Oregonand Washington Wheat Honrs have increased their pri ces, ontil there is little U any difference between the price ol Oregon and Washington Wheat Floors and that of FISHER'S BLEND. The superior quality ol FISHER'S BLEND as com pared with other Honrs is absolutely the same now ' - as beiore. Jnst as In pre-war times FISHER'S BLEND is made ol the choicest Eastern Hard wheat and choic est Washington Biuestem. If it was economy in pre-war times to pay more for FISHEWs BLEND than for other flours, ' certainty it is greater economy now to buy it at practically the same price for which oth er flours sell. i FISHER'S BLEND is the ideal flour to use with Wheat Substitutes, These substitutes lack a balanced gluten. They require mixture with a strong wheat flour. FISHER'S BLEND is a strong wheat flour. . FISHER'S SUBSTITUTES, including Fish er's Corn" Flour, Fisher's Milo Maize Flour, Fisher's Barley Flour and Fisher's Corn Meal, work perfectly with FISHER'S BLEND Flour because the same painstaking care is used in the manufacture of the one as in the manufac tuse of the other. - FISHER'S BLEND FLOUR and Fisher's WHEAT SUBSTITUTES are manufactured in "America's Finest Flouring Mills" bv FISHER FLOURING MILLS COMPANY SEATTLE, U.
