What could be one of the most important
meetings in * the history of Ashland took place
recently In Bellview and th^ Valloy View district.
Holder Billings of the Trade extension committee
o f .the Chamber of Commerce was instrumental in
securing the services of Professor Long of the
agricultural college. His work is with the horticul­
turists. He visited various acreages around Ash­
land, and in an open meeting advocated the making
of a survey of the agricultural district, to the end
that there might be the elimination of many kinds
of fruit now grown, which are not profitable and
these be Replaced with that which would produce
a profit.
This' is no more than the average merchant does
with his stock of goods. If he finds something on
his shelf that is not selling, that for some reason, is
not bringing him a profit, he naturally wants to get
. rid of it as soon as possible, and replace it with a
saleable article.
The suggestions made at these meetings if
carried out would simply be the application of
modern business principles to the conduct of a farm.
And after all the farm is the greatest business in­
stitution we have, and as the years go by, the men
on the farm are coming to that realization. The men
who are making money, are the ones who inject
business principles into their work. The Chamber
of Commerce and every business institution in Ash­
land could do well to Coster a closer relationship be­
tween the country and AShhuid. The making of this
survey could be an excellen^fece to start. It would
be rendering a service and it is through service
that we profit most.
The Faultfinders
Probably never before in the history of thia
country, was there such a chorus of faultfinding as
exists at this time. We ovbrtiear its sour comments
od the streets of Ashland and everywhere else. It
fills many magazine pages, it is expressed in a flood
of critical literature. When the poet once sang
“ A ll’s well with the world,” the idea of the mo­
ment seems to-.et>e, “ A ll’s wrong with the world.”
In community life, recent years have seen the
faultfinders become quite unpopular. People who
are doing anything for the public good, are sick of
the oonstant knocking. The general run of the
people are tired of those who simply stand one
side and criticize, but do nothing themselves for the
general good.
In social and economic discussion, however,
the faultfinders are having their inning. Some of
them are perfectly sincere, and they think the wofld
is so radically wrong, that the only hope is largely
to destroy oUr social institutions, and rebuild them
with something quite different. But as the faults
of the world- arise purely from our human and per­
sonal defects, new institutions might not work any
better than the old ones do.
Where faultfinding is the result of » desire to
make money, and is issued because jieople see a
chance to sell their cynical and bitter thoughts, or
because people are jealous of success, this oppor­
tunity for profit will not last very long. The public
taste is fickle, and in the main it likes optimism
better than iiessimisin, and it prefers sunshine to
sour weather.
While there are plenty of faults in the world,
yet a great deal of fine and unselfish service is
l»eing given to communities and ‘ public causes- all
the time. Cynical and pessimistic thoughts do not
stir people to useful action, while enthusiasm and
service to the public are Contagious.
Tlie Prominence of Sports
v Some i»eople seem to lie a good dual distnrl>ed
because many newspaiiers give a large part of their
space to sporting news, ami because ipany men and
boyg do not read much but (he sporting news. They
ask how we ure going to get intelligent action in our
frtjblic affairs, or how people are going to acquire
useful information, if baseball, boxing, fottbgll,
etc., are all that interest them!
But when you think of how much worse stuff
these jteople might be rending, of all the flood of
harmful trash that ig .offered them, but which they
pass hv because they want to find out who has she-*
ceeded in clean games that emphasize gentlemanly
conduct and fair play, it Would appear as if this
prominence of sports was a rather good thing,
though it is of course unfortunate if people read
nothing else.
These men and Iwvs should learn out .of these
sports that it is a yellow Ihing to play games in a
crooked Way, and if they get that in their minds, they
should use the .advantage of obeying the rules of
daily life.

F YOU w onder why these
creamed potatoes taste better,
you will find the explanation in
the use of Mazola. Probably no
other food in the kitchen ip so
useful to the modern housewife
— taking the place of butter for
cooking and shortening; as a
better, more wholesome fat for
frying; and as the perfect oil for
fine salad dressings.
