THE DflIbY TIDINGS EDI ESTABLISHED IN 1876 A shland d a il y t id in g s OUT OUR WAY = a m r ;y Williams w r J ohn M U m *t I '■ /O O The question asking fad has spread over the nation and many newspapers are publishing lists of such queries. Many people who have a reputation for learning and wisdom often Util on fairly easy questions, and the ordinary run of people find them selves even more lacking in the possession of such exact knowledge. In spite of thé vast increase in our moderù facilities for imparting information, there is a question as to whether people are better informed than in former years. Ever since the newspapers have been circulated largely, it has been easywfor people to become intelligent o n . subjects of general in formation, and a great many people have taken pride in being “ well posted.” A great many persons who have college degrees have extremely hazy information on questions of general intelligence, while a large number who had little education but have become regular news paper readers, can pass such an examination with credit. If people make it their regular daily habit to read newspapers they will be well informed. If they just skim over the suKace of these newspapers and read the headlines only, or are mostly interest ed in the sports and the fashions, they will common ly have to confess their ignorance when people put questions up to them. Thé man or woman who can answer quetsions of general intelligence has a tool of great value with which to work one’s way in the world. People get in (he habit of coming to such ones with this or that question, and they look up to them with respect, and such folks standia, hotter chance of obtainihg influential and lucrative opportunities. We have a lot of such folks here in Ashland and they will sgy that the effort to obtain general intelligence has brought them many awards. L ocv N I lVhafOfhe«Say| Isn't It Odd? S W IL L S , Spain going to quit worrying about this avar heeomlng a petti coat government. — Spring- field News. The motorist watches with the keenest care the purring of his engine. If it skips or misses, or fails to “ pick up” property, he is keenly sensitive to its failures. He is very much interested1 in its going side. But if it fails to stop properly, if its brakes are worn or defective, so that they do not respond to his foot pressure, he is apt to be. quite tardy in taking it to a repair shop. It is important to the public that the stopping side of that car shall be at least as efficient as the going side. The public is not endangered by the missing and skipping of his cylinders, but if the car chn’t be stopped within a reasonable distance, it is a public menace. — American Forest Week This week has been appointed as American Forest Week. Everyone who desires to own a home, or who pays rent, should be interested, because the occupancy of a home lias been made more ex- pensivc hy the waste of forest resources. Something can be done to save such resources as arc left, by adequate protection against forest fires. But the most important step is for conftnun- ities to plant forest trees on land that coaid easily grow them, but which is not well adapted for farm ing. An ArltMMM cftltaa boasts of baring worn the aumu col lar button 38 yearn. The sug gestion that tt has remained in the same shirt that long baa been branded a base eaaard. — Centralia Chron icle. A New York bigamist who had taken unto himself two wives got lato trouble be cause he talked la his sleep. That seems to dispose of the contention that New Yorkers never .find time to sleep — Eugene Register. A Portland resident Is cat ting hts third set ef teeth. A person has to have all hts teeth cut several times, tt seems, to be able to maintain a foothold In the Oregon metropolis. — Cottage Grove Sentinel. W ith the darlag robberies la Pertlaad last week and tee many burglaries and hold- upa that have been staged la this county this year, it Iboks as though Chicago’s 4lty limits might be extend- thg.— Hillsboro Argus. P rS y W that cover toe ground produce no results. The mind Carries m a n y thoughts that the tongue never tares to express. A knock sometimes proves to be a boost, but a boost Is never a knock.

More Conflict About Coal Whichever party may be considered to blame for the strike in the central competitive bituminous „coal fields, such an event is a misfortune and must tend to hurt business. The country reach its highest „levels of prosperity only when the industries are • operated in a regular way. Any such shut down, whether for good cause or not, destroys the pur chasing ;>ower of many tlrausands of families.. This conflict may eventually lead to a better adjustment in the coal industry, but meanwhile a Moss hae lieen incurred that can not be made up; ; When people are idle when they could lie working, -there is a waste of productive power. It is like allowing land to lie idle when it could be raiding - «ropa.
