the other pasture. 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.

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.
