What Constitute« Advertising*, lu order to allay a m isunderstand- ing among some as to w hat consti tutes news and what advertising, we print this very simple rule whien is used by newspapers to dlfierin- a tiate between them : “ ALL future events, where an udinisslon charge is made or a collection Is taken IS ADVERTISING.” This applies to organizations and societies of every kind as well as to individuals. All reports of such activities after they have occurred is news. AU coming social or organization meetings of societies where no money contribution Is solicited. Initiation charged, or collection taken is NBW6. We make ail quotations oa JOB WORK from THE FRANKLIN PRICE LIST. Same prices— Reasonable Price— ( • »R Ikbcered a t the Ashland.

We have tried to give Ashland a ereditable daily paper! The volume of business possible in a city the siae of Ashland will not perm it of as large a paper as we would like to produce, but we have done the best we could on the am ount of in- coem derived, and feel th a t we have don« well. The city is rapidly ad- v aucing in population and prosperity and the Tidings hopes to advance to a b etter and b etter paper every day. I HE WEEKLY TIDINGS Wo wish to call attention to the Weekly Tidings, which has been pub lished continuously for fourty-four years in Ashland. It does not cir culate much in town, because nearly every family in the city takes the Daily Tidings, but it has a good cir culation in the Talent and ru ral routes among folks who do not take the dally. There are few families in this end of Jackson county who do not read eith er the Daily or Weekly Tidings. They cover the field, and afford the m erchants fine advertising mediums for this trade territo ry . IMMIGRATION INTO CANADA A recovery of im m igration into Canada am ounting to 27 per cent over the previous year occurred In the year ending March 30, 1921. Of a total of 148,000 im m igrants 74,- 000 were British, 48,000 came from the United States and 26,000 from other countries. Em igration from the United State3 to Canada increased steadily from loo in 1897 to the high point of 13 9,000 in 1913. The flow was checked at the outbreak of the war th e prospect o f conscription and heavy tax burden, and la te r by the increased prosperity of the United States. An even g reater reduction followed the arm istice, and the pres it recovery Is hut a small advance toward resumption of the pre-war movement. American im m igrants are emi nently desirable, not only because they are assim ilated w ithout diffi culty, since living conditions are so much alike iu the two countries, but because they are on th e average w ealthier than the settlers from any other country. It is estim ated by the departm ent of im m igration and colonization th a t the American set-j tiers in 1920 brought w ith them wealth averaging $372 per capita. It is estim ated th a t the B ritish im m igrant before th e recent enactm ent prescribing possession of at least $250, brought with him on th e av erage about $100. L Park Picnic In Honor Visitor ♦ From Dunsmuir DVR THIRD YEAR The Ladies Auxiliary to the B roth erhood of Railroad Trainm en held a picnic in Lithia park Tuesday lu honor of Mrs. R. B. Dixon, of Duns m uir , Calif. The tim e was spent with fandy work, a fte r which a pic nic dinner was served. L a te r In th e evening th e ladies enjoyed a ride on the m erry-go-round and ferrls wheel, followed by a party a t th e Vining theatre. Those present were Mes- dames R. B. Dixon, F ran k Brown, B.

Not w ithstanding its handicap of an a d vance of 72 per cent in It« payroll and 350 per cent in th e cost of news p rint since it started, and in th e face of a num ber of advertising con tracts made a t a very low ra te vgien the daily started and which M>re carried over during the second year, it has been fairly prosperous.

This money has been, spent for local pay roll and has found its way into th e channels of local commerce.

The aver age price of clothing shows practic ally no change; in m etals there is a distinct decline. Exports and Imports Exports ahd im ports continued th eir steady decline during July, but the country’s trad e for the month resulted in a favorable balance of $144,000,000, according to a state m ent issued by the commerce de partm ent. Exports for the month aggregated $322,000,000, as com pared j ||t h $336,000,000 for June, and 96W.OOO.OOO in July, 1920. Im ports for July totaled $178,000,000 against $185,000,000 in June and $537,000,000 in July a year ago. Agricultural Liquidation Optimism is generally expressed in th e a g ric u ltu ra l districts over the money outlook, especially since crops have been moving freely. The su r plus from the crop returns a fte r the payment of farm debts j s not ex pected to be large enough, however, to perm it much buying of goods. In some sections, even the 1922 crop will be needed for liq |id a tio u un less improvement in livestock prices perm its earlier debt liquidation. Wheat The wheat crop figures reported by the government indicate the sm allest yield since the unlucky h ar vests of 1917 and 1916. O ther fav orable price factors are th e famine in Russia and revised views of Eu ropean im port requirem ents on ac count of the prolonged drought. On th e o th er hand the w eather has been more favorable and the visible sup ply has greatly increased through prom pt selling by the farm ers of the southw est, northw est and Canada. Wo<d The Boston wool m arket appears to have been fairly well stabilised. The volume of domestic wool moving is increasing although prices are still held iu check by th e sale of “ distress” lots of wool. The sue- C IT IZ E N S B A N K On all sides people may be heard asking the remedy for present con ditions. Expedients, artificial be cause always along unsound economic lines, will not greatly stim ulate bus iness. The real and only remedy is an adjustm ent more nearly equitable throughout, the elim ination of waste wherever found and the conversion into actual results of the willingness to work hard. There is a growing conviction th at we shall not pass into a rapid and vigorous recovery during the next th ree or four m onths. On the other hand constructive factors have been piling up to such an extent in the past six m onths as to alm ost pre clude any possibility of a consider able financial strain or forced read justm ent. The present convalescing period offers unusual opportunities to those with courage and confidence and resources sufficient to carry them through tem porary setbacks, to place them selves in a position to make the most of the coming pros perity when it actually sets_ in. Early m arketing of the crops has brought new money into the agri cultural districts that, for the most part, has gone into the payment of back debts and the purchase of ac tual necessities. This free grain movement has offset in a m easure the losses in railroad traffic from greatly decreased coal and ore ship ments, and as a result the carriers show good increases in net earnings. W ell-m aintained bank clearings seem to indicate th a t the public is buying and stocks of m erchandise dw indling, as the m argin between re tail prices and wholesale lim its set by production costs become narrow er. W hile consum ers' goods (those ready for final consum ption) are steadily being consumed, produeerrf goods are the next in line to be strengthened. A lthough steel out put reached a low point of 25 per cent of production in July, business in hand and prospects ju stify the belief th a t the tu rn has come in all probability in this basic industry. Debt liquidation and taxes, however, prom ise th e absorption of so large a part of this y ear’s income, p artic ularly in th e ag ricu ltu ral districts, th a t restriction of norm al purchas ing power is likely to be delayed until some tim e in 1922. D unn’s index num ber of average commodity prices as of A ugust 1 shows th e first increase reported in th a t com pilation during any month since April, 1920. F o r June, al though several other compilers re ported a slight increase in th e price average, the Dunn index num ber re corded an average fu rth e r decline of 3.7 per cent. The index num ber for August 1 shows an increase of 2.4 per cent in th e average during July. The averages by separate groups of DONT DESPAIR If you are troubled with pains o aches; feel tired; have headacht indigestion, insomnia; painful pass age of urine, you will find relief É Thitrsday, he«?*ujeûber t, lOfli cess of the recent goods openings and the sold-up condition o f th e mills of the leading interests have greatly encouraged the wool trade. The compilation of wool stocks by the Untted States bureau of m arkets as of May 1, 1921, showed three- q u arters of a billion pounds of wool in this country. W ith the new clip of one billion pounds, this gives a total of one and three-quarters bil lion pounds, or enough for a two- years supply for our mills.

Bonds One most encouraging develop m ent is the rise in bond prices and the better demand for seasoned is sues which undoubtedly reflects the beginning, a t least, of the accumu lation of surplus funds. Rapidity of absorption of new issues indicates considerable funds seeking employ ment. We will pay the top price for 1,500 boxes of packed peaches. PLAZA MARKET H.
