no Medfofd. It is understood that this question has
been up twice before, only to de defeated. It is
further understood that in this Ashland largely holds
the balance of power. If that be true a wonderful
opportunity for this community to show its appre

activities to secure the reestablishment -of the state
Normal School here presents itself.
Medford wants the connty seat Geographically
that is the logical location. The oounty seat should
be where it will benefit the greatest number of people,
with the least amount of effort. Unquestioptionably
tyir sister city has that important advantage over any
other Jackson county location. "With this in mind,
as well as the assistance rendered thia community in
time of need, Ashland should come to the front and
leave no question in the minds of our neighbors, Jhat
we not only appreciate their help in locating the nor

pass up any personal ambitions along this line, for
the ultimate benefit of the county As a whole.

the recipient Of many Complimentary remarks rela
tive to the general improved appearance Of the paper.
When hht little mote than a ‘week ago, plans were
consummated and the machinery set in motion to make
these changes there was some qaestion as to how they
would be received. While we have not eomplted our
plans as yet, the encouragement received so far is
cfonvinCing proof of the fact that Ashland people aré
appreciative and that they stand ready and willing
to cooperate -in any movement that will reflect credit
upon, the community as a whole.
That is~a wonderful spirit No community can
fail to prosper, in an atmosphere of this kind, for with
the appreciative atmosphere of a community back of
a proposition whether it be the publishing of a news
paper or anything else in which the public at large
is directly concerned, there is ever incentive to go
ahead. Lack of appreciation is the damper that re
tards many a worthy project.
A NKW CHAMPION
A new champion in the realm of fistiana is being
proclaimed today. Men and women to whom fighting
ordinarily means nothing are today rejoicing over
the victory of Gene Tunney in his championship battle
last night with Jack Dempsey.
Never before in the history of the sport in this
country has there been such a tremendous wave of
popular approval of a new champion in the heavy
weight division.
And What is the aflawet?
Gene Tunney, as a beardless youth, enlisted dur
ing the great war and saw active service overseas
as a Fighting Marine. His was a war record of which
America could be justly proud.
Dempsey, on the other hand, evaded servioe. He
worked in the shipyards to escape the draft. He
wanted to do his fighting in the squared arena here
safe at home where big tnohey Could be earned.
It was in France that Gene Tunney learned the
first rudiments of the sport which later Was to carry
him to supreme honors in the prize ring. It was the
determination and grit of the “ Devil Dog” which
caused him to carry on and snatch the throne from
a man who had held it for seven years. Everywhere
throughout the land Tunney will be heralded as the
most popular boxing champion of many generations.
