They wanted to find out just how far around a dollar bill would go, in their city, how much merchandise it would purchase, and how many people would be benefited by it, within a given length of time. . , Consequently a slip of paper was pasted to a bill, with instructions typed thereon for everyone who ' used the money to note just what transaction took place in which it played a part. Memory does not recall the exact data on the bill after it had been in circulation for a week, b u t’in a general way it is a known fact that it Visited practically every store in the city, that it purchased many different times, food for the family, that it played its part in helping settle the winter coal,bUl..afc least twice, that the druggist name appeared three different times on tbp slip of paj>er, and the local doctor had received it once in payment of a doctor bill and in turn had used it to help defray his dues to the Chamber of Commerce. The number of people who had used the bill in that one city was surprising, the merchandise that it hod purchased in a very short time would have kept a good sized family supplied for weeks, and the bill might still today be in circulation in that city had it not had the misfortune to fall into the hands of one who was so lacking in civic pride that he preferred to do his shopping elsewhere than the city where he earned is living. The bill fell into the hands of a furniture dealer in a neighboring city, the slip of paper with its many inscriptions w’as still attached. This dealer kept the hill but tore off the historical slip and mailed it to the chamber of commerce secretary, with a note of his own on the bottom which read something like this: “ Your--------money just received (and in the blank space he filled in the name of the town from which he received it), it is such money as this that makes it possible for us to carry such large stocks, to drive a fine car, and to assist in building up our community at your expense. We appreciate your assistance.” POLITICAL FIRES STARTED State politics in Ashland was revived and fires were kindled under the political pot yesterday when Fred Steiwer, republican nominee for the United States senate, spent a few hours visiting local people, and was the guest of honor at the Kiwanis club lunch­ eon. Mr. Steiw er’s visit here while brief, was im­ pressive. Impressive in the sense that those who were fortunate enough to hear him at the noon luncheon or to have met him afterwards, should have a feeling of confidence that for once at least, the direct primary had brought to the Oregon voters an opportunity to place in the United States senate a man well qualified for the position. The talk he gave to the Kiwanis club should prove to be the clarion call of a new awakening for Oregon people. The wrongs that this state has suf­ fered, the general laxity of the people, in allowing the government to have full sway over its public lands, have been the cause of Oregon “ playing sec­ ond fiddle” to her sister states on the north and south. While he did not offer any specific remedy for this gross injustice, due to the fact that his speech was not to be of a political nature, the inference was plain, th at this state needed national representation abjg enough to realize that Oregon had been made to suffer unjustly because of its generosity when ad­ m itted as a state, and strong enough politically to attem pt to overoome in some way the results of giv­ ing away our natural heritage, th at great public do­ main, to the Federal government, and receiving in return a paltry five per cent on the proceeds of any sales th at were made. We believe that he is qualified to see that Oregon, as he so well stated “ should not have to go before the federal government on her bended knee, in the request for that which is rightfully hers, but should be con­ sidered as the favored son, and should have every right to stand up and demand some returns for the great material l»enfit she has rendered, in being the only state to turn over completely to our government th at which was her natural heritage.” We further believe, th at the people of Ashland, when the opporutnity comes for them to place their stam p of approval or disapproval upon Fred Steiwer, th a t they will recognize in him the many qualifica­ tions which admirably fit him for the position which he seeks, and will give him the splendid majority at the polls, which he so richly deserves.

The rocking-horse liked the cradle bet- ter than anything as a companion. But even the cradle wasn’t in the same class with the rocking-horse. The rocking-horse had been the companion of children. The cradle knew about them as babies. The cradle wasn’t grown-up enough to talk to the rocking-horse. The cradle would remember such things as, “Goo, goo, goo," and would be so proud of Itself when it remembered how ‘‘ma-ma,” .m t “dadda" were said. Now that, as you can see, was no sort of conver­ sation for a rocking-horse. * The rocking-horse bad heard about games and the world out-of- doors. The rocking-horse had heard about snow men and snow forts and coasting and skating and also about swimming and tennis playing and croquet and clock gol »If. and an. driving the cows to pasture, and really grown-up things. The rocking-horse had heard about lessons and about teachers and about prizes and punishments, good marks and bad. You can see how out of his ele­ ment was the rocking-horse.
