MASTER, THIS WOMAN was taken in adultery. Moses com­
manded us th a t such should be stoned: but w hat sayest thou?
He said unto them , He th a t is w ithout sin among you, let him
first cast a stone at her.— John 8:4, 5, 7.
THE WATER SITUATION
Ashland, in common with practically every town in
the West, is facing a water shortage and only through
conservation can we hope to maintain proper protection
against fire and a supply necessary for domestic demands.
It is regrettable, indeed, that we are compelled to submit
to restrictions that seem severe, but common sense de­
mands that we accede to all reasonable regulations and
cooperate with the city in meeting the situation. People
who are reasonably inclined will recognize that city au­
thorities will make the restrictions no more severe than
conditions warrant and that any action taken will be in
the interests of all.
There is a great deal of consolation in the fact that
by 1925 the local water supply will have been greatly aug­
mented. The securing of six hundred acre feet of water
from the Talent Irrigation district will take care of all
acreage traets, supply all demands of prior irrigation
rights, supply irrigation to the park, and save Ashland
creek water to a degree that the citizens will be practical­
ly assured of sufficient water for lawns and all domestic
purposes. The additional supply from that source will
doubtless meet all demands for next year and perhaps
for the few succeeding years, but if Ashland enjoys the
growth that there is good reason to believe is imminent,
it will still be necessary to further augment the supply,
and the conditions that exist at present ought to prove
the necessity for not waiting until the well goes dry be­
fore seeking an addiional source of supply.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE VANDALS
Frequently the Tidings is moved to comment editor­
ially on the splendid conduct of the residents of Ashland
and the community, and it is with deep regret that the
writer’s attention is directed to the work of vandals at
the high school building. There is only one way of ex­
plaining the nefarious act that was committed at the
portal of the beautiful structure Monday night and that
is that those who find enjoyment in injuring others are
possessed only of pure, unadulterated hellishness. To ef­
face any public or private structure is serious, but when
a high school building becomes the object of vandalism
it goes almost beyond human comprehension. Ashland is
the home of one of the most beautiful school buildings in
Oregon. The grounds surrounding it are a credit to our
town, and the efficiency of the local school system is the
envy of many districts in the state, and hoys or young
men who seek to injure them are striking at an insti­
tution that has stood ready to render them a great service,
and an institution that in the future will be available 0
them and their posterity.
In a way it matters not who, after the hours of dark­
ness descended, stooped so low as to disfigure the high
Bchool building and performed other acts that sorely
wounded the feelings of others, are the objects of scorn
and through their own biting consciences will suffer as
they have made others to suffer.
The Tidings and all good citizens of Ashland sincere­
ly hope that this will be the last incident of the kind to
be reported in this beautiful law abiding city. The act
was uncomplimentary to the entire community.

BUT ND YEARLY MODELS
There are obvious benefits to the
purchaser in Dodge Brothers policy
of making constant, gradual refine­
ments in their product instead of
changing from one design to another
year after year.
Chief among these is the fact that
the car may be operated through­
out the full limit of its usefulness
without the extra depreciation loss
which results from a rapid succes­
sion of radically different models.
