How about water for next year Will we trust to luck again for the necessary, water that spells prosper ity to Ashland, or will plans be speedily made to conserve enough for city purposes? An intelligent and systematic ad Tertlslng campaign In the hot val leys of California will fill Ashland with people next summer, if it Is be gun about the first of Febrnary and pursued diligently until the first of July. Shall we do it? There are more houses profitably rented in Ashland this year than for many years past. There Is some reason for it. We are too modest to give our opinion, altho we think we know. What do you think about It? Well, If we were doing It, we would try to fix the streets, when we did fix them, so that the water would drain away without taking a largo part of the street with it. It might cost more to do it that way, but it would not be continually necessary to spend large sums correcting the damage each year made during the rainy season. It Is a habit of some administrations to ever pursue a pol icy of saving at the spigot and los ing at the bunghole. OUR WAR SERMON. Take courage, oh ye of little faith The United States of America Is al- ready fully civilized and ChriHtlan- Posslbly not in conformity to your established creeds; nor does it manifest Its Christianity In long nrd loud prayers In puiilic places. It doos not preach Christianity. It a.ts It. Prussianism is crushed; an armis tice Is declared; the kaiser abdi cates, flees to Holland, and leaves his people Btrlcken and hungry. America, like the good Samaritan', rushes to their succor and feeds them and helps them re-establish their shattered fortunes. No natter If yesterday they were our worst enemies. It suffices that today they are In need. "If your enemy ulnpB you on one cheek, turn to him also the other." "If he demands your coat, give hlm also your waist coufc" "Inasmuch as ye do It unto one of these, ye do it also unto ma." And the American people are Christianized as well, for l.cnrtlly they acquiesce In the nation's loving determination to succor the distress ed, enemy, or friend. What encour agement. What glory. Without the ostentation of ceremony or the cry of pharlseelsm we are living our Christianity. Already our forms and pretentions are caBt Into the scrap heap. Henceforth we will act the profound Christianity that !s in our hearts. There wlli be ;o longer holy days. Every day In which such service is performed Is the holiest of holy. Holiness in time is become holiness In act. It may result in a decadance of steeples but it 'will surely multiply Christian faith and the acts of faith. SYSTEM OR ITS INSTRUMENT The United States of America is truly great. In the aggregate her people are great. Great enough to distinguish between a principle and Its Instrument. The aftermath of the great war is demonstrating thin splendid fact. Yesterday the people of Germany were our bitterest ene mies. They represented the mili tary system and ambitions. Today militarism Is shattered and the kais er, Its embodiment, vanquished. We are satisfied. The menace we de tested Is destroyed, but the German people still remain, hungry, desert ed and dejected. America comen to the rescue and notwithstanding th bitterness of yesterday feeds the starving people today. Barbarism leaves the bitterness between In dividuals after the principle Is cor rected, wrongly estimating the fault to be In the people Instead of the system. True enlightenment dis tinguishes between the principle and Its Instrument. It rejoices that the system Is crushed and grieves I for the crushed people. It Is a great lesson. How often' is some great and be neficent principle promulgated by some Individual. A principle of dy namic force and great merit. At once the people subconsciously rec ognize Its power, but hesitate to put It into action because their atten tion Is distracted from the principle to the Instrument thru which It appears. Citizens gather to dis cuss it because It has made a pro found Impression and at once the dlJ- cusslon Is turned from the thing to the Instrument. The argument turns on estimate of the individual In stead of the thing. And the man who announces becomes the carcass to be pulled assunder and examined Instead of the thing he proposes How often has this consideration sIcMled over the cast of discussion pnd en terprises of great pith and moment are thus turned awry and lose the name of action. The American nco- Cooper to Prove Famous Theories His Remarkable Medicines Accomplishing Wonder ful Results in Lead ing Cities. pie are beginning to differential- between the principle and Us Instru ment. After a little while when a proposition is brought, forward the dlm-isslon will turn' upon the me'-lt of the thing nni the hull iduul -our bins and our averr (.i lor or agnlntt him will not co-.int in the calcula tion. When tint day comes great thlnsi will be ac-oraplnshe-l right here In Ashland. T!io proposition will loom and become Illuminate in stead of the person who promulgates It. We have been Christianized -by this war not only, but the lessons growing out of It will enlighten us until we will no longer stand In the way of great movements because of onr antipathy to the Instrument thru which It is brought to notice.

Plione 188 We don't complain of high taxes, but we wonder where In thunder we will get the money to pay either rlgh or low tax. Whether high taxes be come a burden depends largely on the use made of the money acquired by indebtedness. If it is so expend ed as to bring back two dollars for one borrowed, to borrow more ' is ood business. We would rather pay six hundred dollars a year taxes on the George Stevenson building, If we owned It, and have it ented at one hundred dollars a month, than to pay five cents tax a year and have it vacant. The thing to do Is to stimu late business so rents will be good even If we have to go In debt to do it. Our climate and scenery, to say nothing of our park and mineral waters justifies a lively little city here. Proper and persistent adver tising will get the people. Why not try It this year to a reasonable extent? ENTITLED TO A FAT JOn If constant and continuous service counts- tor anything with democratic statesmen George Putnam Is certain ly entitled to a big fat Job better than editing a village dally for If ever a fellow went the limit George has done so for Woocfrow, Our George and Oswold, and at the rls'.t of losing hjs reputation as an un adulterated nonpartisan and the in tegrity of his newspaper as an un qualified Independent sheet. We are for George for a job. And many Med fordites, we understand, would like It to be a fat one In Alaska, or somewhere, so that when such good democratic candidates as Judge Pur den offer the last sacrifice for their country they won't be spewed on at the last minute. There seems to be a strange con tradiction In Investment. During the past two years Ashland has Invested nearly a million dollars in liberty bonds and war saving stamps, yet the local bank statements Indicate a large Increase in cash deposits, not withstanding Ashland has had no dl rect benefit from war activities. Our logic and mathematics have contend ed that If we had fifteen hundred dollars and sent half of It away we would have but seven hundred and fifty left, not three thousand, as the case seems to be. How do you figure It out? There seems to, be an ade quate compensation so far too hazv tor human brain, yet, nevertheless, a fact. me uermans, Immediately on hearing that the U. S. went republl can, am not take new courago, as the administration predicted, but walkel up and laid down their arms Sometimes the ablest and most dis interested . prognostications are not to be trusted. FOX FARM OPERATED ON TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST Beginning operations two years ago with eight pairs of blue foxes and two pairs of black foxes, Claude Green, of Petersburg, Alaska, now has between two hundred and fifty and two hundred seventy-five blue, and seventeen black foxes on his fox farm on the Tongass National For est, according to a report received by District Forester George H. Cecil from Forest Supervisor W. G. Welg le, Ketchikan, Alaska. The farm Is located on one of the Sukol Islands, which Is occupied for the purpose under a special-use permit. The farm has recently been In corporated Under the name of the Hercules Fox Farm. A ljumber of buildings have been erected on the Island for various uses In connec tion with the rearing of foxes. Fish make up the chief Item of food for the animals. Feed houses have been placed at various points and a fish house holding 16,000 dry fish has- been constructed this season. ' There are a number of commercial fox farms along the Alaskan coast and on the Aleutian archipelago. Black-fox skins are very valuable, ranging in price from six hundred dollars to one thousand dollars for prime skins. In 1900 a black-fox skin sold at auction In Loridon for $2,754.00. Blue-fox skins range In value from twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars. Referring to the visit to Portland and other Western cities of Mr. L. T Cooper, the millionaire philanthropist and lecturer, who has commanded such wide-spread interest In the East with his health theories and celebrated medicine, Tanlac. E. C, Harris, his representative recently said In Portland: Thousands of the most prpml nent people In Cincinnati, Cleveland Denver, Salt Lake City, Detrlot Louisville, Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis and other cities, where his celebrat ed medicine has been accomplishing such remarkable results, are even more enthusiastic over Tanlac than Mr. Cooper himself. "As previously stated, Mr. Cooper contends that nine-tenths of the dis eases and Ill-health of the average person Is due to a catarrhal condi tion, which produces faulty diges tion and Improper assimilation of the food. "In a recent Interview. Mr. Coop er was asked If Tanlac would re lleve kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheumatism and a dozen other ail ments, and In this connection, said: "As I have repeatedly said, my medicine acts directly on the mil cous membrane, stomach and blood expelling from them the impurities and toxic poisons, and rendering to them a strong, healthy condition. : am convinced that the stomach regu lates the condition of the blood, and is me touniain neaa or health or disease, as the case may be.. My mddlclne is Intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and catarrhal Inflamatlon, but It Is no uncommon thing for persons who have used It to come to me and ex plain that It has relieved them of rheumatism and many other all menis, noi generally recognized as having their origin in stomach trouble." "The Ingredients or medicinal ele ments which make Tanlac, come from many remote sections of the earth the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia, west inaies, mountain states near the Roaky 'Mountains, . MexJco and Peru are among the points from which the principal parts of the preparation are obtained. In the principal laboratory of the Cooper Medicine Co.; Inc., under the effi cient direction of a cVmlst cf note, those medicinal herbs, roots and barks are assembled In the rough and painstakingly developed so as to attain that high standard of efficien cy shown by the uniform prepara tion Tanlac. , Tanlac is now sold 'in Ashland by J. J. McNair; In Medford by Eagle Drug Co.; In Gold Hill by M. D. Bowers; and In Central Point by Mrs. M. A. Mee. adv. Oregon's ship tonnage so far this year Is 557,200. In two years the output totals 137 wooden vessels and 34 steel ships. I I - ft: TA Dank. wft . the Chimo Clock.

The Woman's y Christmas Picture IS A 110 OSIER IN HER KITCHEN It means conveniences that more than a million other women have and she has' longed for. It means about half her present kitchen work in half the time. It means an end to kitchen fatigue, and that cooking and baking will become a joy. It meanp no longer a scattered kitchen, but kitchen efficiency of the highest type with all 'utensils and supplies cen tralized at fingers' ends. That saves miles of steps. With the extra burdens that wartime has brought to women, every home needs the Hoosier and should have it. And any home can get it for a small deposit and weekly payments. But please take notice that Hoosiers are scarce this year. If you want to be sure of your cabinet in time for Christmas you must order it at once. J. P.
