Much has been said concerning Ferdinand, the
last of the Hohenzollem rulers—the king of a mon­
archy—who several days ago passed on. Some have
called him a futile monarch. Some have called him
a great and wise monarch.
But it is a tiny figure upon whom the attention
of the world is centered, a little five year old boy
who has born his now duties like a king and be­
fore whom lies the task of governing others—a
task which has descended on his shoulders before
he has learned to govern himself.
He is going away to the Black sea for a vaca­
tion—his last real vacation so his guardians—a pre­
mier, a prince and a judge 'and high church digni­
tary—have decreed. And when he returns hiB train­
ing for the task which lies before him Vill start.
He is faced with the difficult task of holding to­
gether a monarch in a country where monarchies
have crumbled in the last few years.
There is something appealing and pathetic about
this tiny boy who must become king. They told
him his grandfather had gone to heaven and he
turned away happily to play. But soon he must
give up those things of childhood and place before
his own pleasures his duty to his people and must
conduct himself as. a king.
And we in far-away America read of the ro­
mance which surroupd the life of the little prince.
And we are glad that in this country there is a
system of government where every boy is trained
to be a leader—yet his childhood is not stolen from
him. In this country we are glad that we all may
hope to some day achieve distinction. Yet the best
foundation for the leadership we crave is the
foundation laid in a healthy, happy childhood.
Might it not be that the little king might be a
wiser and better, ruler if his childhood could be more
the childhood of natural fellowship ♦ which would '

Possibly it might gppear as if wc are seeking
trouble, aa if we are asking to be permitted to
bear part of a burden which apparently we could
avoid, but it seems that the promoters of the ex­
hibits to be made at the county fairgrounds this
fall in lieu of the regular fair program should make
a little moire effort to get all parts of the country
interested in this worthwhile stunt.
According to our interpretation and remem­
brance of the tentative plans Ashland was not in
any way invited to join in the celebration or to
shoulder any part of the work or expense of or­
ganising and handling the exhibitions. It was
simply the Granges, other public agencies and the
Medford business men’s association, as we remember.
Ashland, a fruit center of importance, the home
of many prosperous chicken ranches and an excellent
supporter of boys’ and girls’ club work—furnishing
many of the champion contestants for the cou n ty-
should want to assist in the exhibitions, and should
be willing to bear its part of the expense and
work.
Soap and Water
A recent bulletin issued by the State Board of
HeRfcfe extols the virtues of plain, old-fashioned
soap rad water and sunlight as antiseptic and dis­
infectant. Experiment has shown that the fumigation
forjaerly insisted upon in cases of contagious dis­
eases, is a useless nuisance and plenty of air and
sQoabine and generous use of hot soapsuds are the
beat ato r i t i s in g agents available.
The public is reminded that the practice of
washing hands before meals is an effective pro­
tection against the multitudes of bacteria which
find their way to human harbors through the mouth.
It might be well if we were to put the fiuger-
bowi before the meal instead of after it. It was an
old roman custom and the slave presented his
bowl of scented water and towl of fine linen to
each gRest before waiters served at the elaborate
hau<juets.
R is a custom of cleanliness we might emulate.

THE FORUM
To the Editor of the Ashland
Tiding«:
In behalf of KMED radio sta­
tion I wish to apologize for the
incident that occurred over this
station on the evening of July 20
in which reference to an Intercity
Joke went over the s ir detriment­
al to Ashland.
Most all programs are censored
but thia* one waa of impromptu
origin and the damage was done
so quickly It was impossible to
pull the switch controlling the
microphons.
The object of thia station is to
please its listen ers in all d istricts
and 1 sap promae you the regret­
table Incident will never happen
again.
Ashland was the writer’s boy­
hood home and a boost for Ash­
land is certainly desirable on my
part.
The motto of thia station Is
“Boost Southern .Oregon.*’
The same artists who were re­
sponsible fo? .the regrettable in­
cident were distressed over the
affair and volunteered their ser­
vices for an Ashland program to
make amends for the damage
