C. A. campaign has been no exception. For weeks past there has been one busi­ ness man, who in addition to the operation of his own successful business, has found time to give to every worth while community project'. lie was given a very responsible position in the present campaign. In fact, the success or failure of it rested largely on his shoulders. For it was up to him to cooperate with other 'officials* in making the general plans, and it was up tp him further, to see that after these plans were made, they were properly carried out- That the right men were selected for the rigl^t job and that there were no “ hot boxes” that would slow down the wheels of ’ the campaign as a whole. That he has done his job well is -now an estab­ lished fact. Nearly raising the entire amount asked for in a day and a half is substantial evidence of the truth of this statement. However, the-inspiration for this editorial lies not in the fact, that he did his work well, that the plans were so w eir laid that the enthusiastic workers met with «overwhelming success. It is gained from a request that this man* made last night. He came into the office of The Tidings about 6 o’clock. He had been out working all day long, and he was due at a meeting where another civic project was to be up for discussion, within a very few- jninutes. As he came into the office, it was plain to he sqe nthat he was in a hurry, and he delivered his message in a* rather terse; bnt characteristic manner. Thia is what he said: “ During the last few weeks, I'have allowed my name.to be used in connection wit^ this cam­ paign because they told me that it would help it out Nbw that the campaign is practicably over, now that our' goal has nearly been reached, won’t you please place credit tomorrow, where it belongs* People will think from the advance publicity, that I have had more to do with it than I really have. I want those fellows, W. P. Walters, the secretary, and Homer Billings, the president, as well as the many fellows who have gotten out and worked the last day or tWo to be given the credit for the suc­ cess of this campaign. Won’t you, as a special favor to me, see that they publicly receive it.” “ We will give them all the credit possible,” was our reply, “ for they are deserving of it,” and with that he thanked us and went on his way. AV e have complied with, his request. Our obli­ gation^ insofar as our promise Is concerned is end­ ed. Now we want to express our own idea of this affair. W e do not want to detract one bit from the credit that is due the above mentioned men, we are sincere when we say that they deserve all of the ■ credit possible. But we want it known now, Mr. 0. F. Carson, chairman of the drive committee, that if you had not given of your time and ability,“ if you had not been willing to forget for a while your own private business, and had not gone out and helped organize, and complete plans weeks ago, there would not now be credit to bestow upon any one else, your unselfish request, that we give to others, that which is rightfully due you, explains largely why the goal has been reached in such a short time. If there is any credit to be handed out, you yourself deserve a large slice on your own plate. Ashland has established an enviable record for one month. So far November hag been the voting of more than four hundred thousand dollars for water bonds. This month has marked the suc- oessfnl conclusion of the Y. M. C. A. drive for $3600, and now last but not least the Lithians have started •* movement to build a grand stand to seat fire hundred people, and do it in time for the Thanksgiving day game. It is a good sized program to he accomplished in the short space of one month. These people who have bean in the habit of referring to Ashland as a community that was asleep, that was different in that the people did not do things, shouTd change their tune for this is a record that many a commun­ ity twice the size of /rors would be glad to claim. It gets dark early these evenings.

LYDIA of the Pines By MARY GRAHAM BONNER XXXKXXKXKXXKKXKKXXXXKXXX *8? Billy*» W heelbarrow I t was, perhaps, an unusual wish. At least when Santa read h(s let­ ters be did not find many of his friends asking fo F th e present for which Billy asked. Thl» was Billy's le tte r: ’’Dear Santa Claua: I would like to have a number of small things, such as a pair of heavy shoes. I don’t suppose you’d call my shoes or my feet small. But I mean that that Isn’t as big a present as a present could be or as the one I want. tv U.TN ‘ Well, I ’d like to have rvn,v some stockings ’for skating and I would like to have some hard candy and maybe a knife.

"So I ’d really love to have a wheelbarrow. Style number four is the kind I'd like If you could pos­ sibly get I t ” So Santa Claus had bought a wheelbarrow and he had had to bring It in a side door, for the wheelbarrow could not be brought down the chimney. It was Just the kind that Billy wanted. It was a good-sized one and It would be so useful when the summer came. • It would help him so much In his work. But the most wonderful thing of all was the troublp that Santa had. taken with It. a As he had put It down at one side of the Christmas tree be had filled it with branches of greens nnd at one end had tied a little toy Santa Claus, who looked very rud­ dy and bright and cheery. That made the present seem so much like a Christmas present, too. Well, when Billy saw IL he said that nothing pleased him more, and, oh, how happy he was that Santa Ctaus had brought it to hhn and had been able to bring the gift he had said In his letter was the one he wanted most And then after the presents were all unwrapped Billy took his shoes Billy Would Wheel It Around.

So everyone who came In saw the wheelbarrow filled with presents aud sometimes Billy would wheel It around the room and say: < “No weedsk and no flowers, bat lots of presents." And though It was snowing gent­ ly and steadily all the time out of doors Billy kept thinking of the days when the warm weathek would come and when the, frozen earth would become soft and muddy and when the water In the earth would ooze forth. He thought of the first flowers that would come In the spring, and of the trips he could make to the woods gathering ferns and unusual plants. He .thought of the way the gar­ den would look and o9 how he would see that the paths just never, never, never had weeds. And be thought of the help the wheelbarrow would be when be thinned out the flowers growing too close together and of the trans­ planting' he would do.

An Ignorant government; when land was plenty and the tribe w as1 lofger, placed certain restrictions on the reserva­ tion. When land became scarce, and the tribe dwindled to a hand ful, those restrictions became wrong. It was Inevitable that the whites should override •them. Knowing that the ethics of my sets and those of other people would be questioned, I went to congress to get these restrictions removed. If another two years dould have elapsed, before
