So .says th e ’.cynic, the failure, the knocker, the ne’er-do-well, and Uie discontent. Their outhurstings are their method of satisfy­ ing themselves of what they want to lie, and of excusing themselves for what they are. . All things considered there is no better town than one’s home town, f o r l f is not home to one who thinks otherwise. , No town is better to live in, no business houses better to deal with< no ^people better to he neighbors to, no area better ‘ to produce from—no pastures any greener than those that enclose the dear old spot that is truly made the home town. Ashland comes up splendfdlv to these requiretnents. Those who revel in the great national spbrt of dissatisfaction with the home /town are all wpon& unless they help to make it better. The Prodigal Son thought the pastures across Mie fence were better, but he found only dry husks to feed upon. He thought tjie associations out in the world were better- but he lived among the swine. Remember this: the other dissatisfied fellow, in the other town, is «Iso voicing discontent; and the fault is not with the respective towns but with the respective point of view. Saving conditions are had, that business is jx>or, or that the . town is slow is destructive c riti­ cism of the worst sort. The word Ashland of itself is an inanim&tc thing: it depends for its life, its growth and its prosperity upon YOU! _ . ...... It is YOU who can make YOUR OWN pasture as green as anv other. \ It is YOU who can TURN ADVERSITY INTO SUCCESS; in a small way if you will, in -a large way if you can. ' . I t is no particular credit to a man how many towns lie has lived in, how many business he has “ run,” or how many jobs he has held. The men who make history a re ,iu the main permanent set­ tlers—the masters of a single business and the work­ ers on a certain job. -------TO T H E BEAL UT1ZEK TUK- U W-AKS ALWAYS GROWS GREENER IN AND AROUND ASHLAND, because it is be that helps to give it life^ growth and nurture. ♦ « Isn’t It Odd?

Home Town Baseball It is the ambition of every American city and town to lx* represented in the sporting life of its .. r, locality, by a jp o d fast ball team, able to hold its own with its neighbor communities. Most places tu have at some time had such a team, but in the m ajority of cases, it is not able to play, with any regularity through a season or veqr after year. Hi? l, school lwill teams supply this need to a considerable extent, and so much attention is puid- to athletics in schools nowadays, that many of tlmso teams play excellent ball for fellows of that age. But the fan s would all like to see a team of still older fellows, playing as their regular city or town team. t ' The lovers of baseball make it more difficult for these town and high school hall teams to sur­ vive and flourish- by their attitude as si>ectutors and patrons of the games. Manifestly it takes money • to run a ball team now. -That means steady‘patron­ age on the part of sport lovers. But the American people have a peeuliar at-' titnde on this question, which no doubt exists here in Ashland. They Ix-lieve in supporting the home team, provided it wins. But if it has a streak of ill luck, the attendance falls off. The players, may be doing the best they can, and gradually im­ proving, hut they are hanqx*red by the razzing they get from the spectators who should be their warm supporters. If a fellow makes a slip or two, the c ry .“ take him ou t” resounds from the sjxxdators, and he is made so nervous that it is ihipossible for him to play well. Home town baseball is a fine thing for the town and for the young men. To have it, a team must get good hacking, with adequate financial support, and friendly encouragement from the spectators.
