SUPPORT THE CHAMBER
There is real food for thought in the invitation
publicly extended yesterday by President Carson of
the ('bainher of Commerce, asking all Ashland resi
dents, regardless of whether or not they ate meih-
bers, to attend the weekly forum luncheons. •
The chamber of commerce is the clearing house
for the entire eortununfty. I t is striving to be of
seryice to Ashland as a municipality and to every
citizen of Ashland.
’
Attendance at these forum luncheons will tend
to keep you in touch with the activities of the cham
ber as well as civic activities generally.
Get the habit of attending these luncheons, Y ou’ll
get a better understanding of the city’s problems and
you’ll get a lot better. acquainted with your friends
and business acquaintances.
THIS IS COOPERATION
Those Ashland merchants who have agreed to
«lose their places of business somewhat earlifer to*
morrow night are displaying real cooperation toward
Hie ¿Southern Oregon state normal school. They are
proving by deed and action that the interests of the
new normal jrchool are their interests, and that they
meant just what they said two years ago when they
promised their full support to this new state institu
tion.
The normal school is sponsoring a high grade en
tertainment in its new auditorium tomorrow night.
Saturday night at best is not a good show night in a
town of the size of Ashland. For that reason ticket
sales have not been what they should be.
But these merchants are closing their stores early
enough to permit their clerks to attend the Moroni
Olsen play, and by their early closing, are urging
shoppers to complete their purchases and if possible
attend this worth while performance.
Such cooperation is typical of Ashland. It is the
sort of spirit that is going to cement the friendship
and helpful cooperation between the normal school and
the people of Ashland.
The chamber of commerce is taking a marked step
forward in its proposal to give further publicity to
its mineral water and other nealth-gfViAg waters of
this section. More than a decade ago analyses were
made of the Lithia water of Ashland and it was found
comparable to some of the most famous mineral
waters of E urope.? "
It is our belief that a publicity campaign featur
ing the Lithia water will be productive of a vast
amount of real good. It will mean an investment
upon which the people can realize profits in actual
dollars and cents^
The first step m promoting the value of this water
can and should be taken by the voters-next teonth in
authorizing the $15,000 bond issue for building a new
mineral water pipe line to Lithia Park. I t is incop-

bis campaign for slow and careful driving within
the public school zones is meeting .with a splendid
spirit of cooperation among antoists generally, and
thus far, since the opening of the school year, there
has not been the slightest semblance of an accident
at the various school intersections.
Autoists at times are prone to forget that fhey
are traveling within the school zones, hut the police,
without assuming a “ hard boiled” attitude, have
patrolled the streets during recess and closing hours
for the purpose of cautiofting drivers. I t has not
been necessary to make arrests because the motoring
public realizes the need for caution and is exercising
it daily.

Amos, always a little moody and
a little restless, since the children's
mother had gone to her last Sleep,

year npproached. It was perhaps
a week before Christmas on a Sun
day afternoon that he called Lydia
to him. Patience was having her
nap and Lizzie had gone to call on
Mrs. Norton.
