P E B H N 8, News Editor ID BY THE ASHLAND FBINTING 0 0 * f * J . .Ik .♦ ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS u tv hbu > MsnroKD One of the questions to be decided by Jackson county voters at the November election will be the Possible removal of the court house from Jacksonville 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 ciation for the action of Medford in supporting our 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 mal school, but that we are^fair minded enough to pass up any personal ambitions along this line, for the ultimate benefit of the county As a whole.

LfM-lOE SWELL LOOGGIE ( ùe# T*" HB THAMES The Tidings during, the past few days has been 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.
