Now why can ws not fill the Christian church on B street and have the choirs of the different churches join together and all the players on instruments with them. The M. E. Sunday Bchool has a fine orchestra, the Presbyterian Sunday school has a violin and mandolin club of boys; the Baptist church and Sunday school bus a fine trombone player and maybe other churches have instrumental players; let all come together and make the occas ion so interesting as to be remem bered by the children for many years. Yours for a good old fashioned Thanksgiving in Ashland, REV. WILLIAM JOHNSON. QUALITY IN MEAT A porterhouse or a sirloin steak in one shop may be 20 cents a pound higher than In another locality. The difference in price is based upon de mand, location, overhead expense, volume of business and quality. The most Important element is quality. There is as much difference between a first quality steas and one of in ferior grade as is found between a thoroughbred horse and a calico cayuse on the western plains. Car cass beef Is divided into steers, heif ers and cowb, and the cuts of meat from these carcasses depend upon the age, kind and quality of the ani mal. Sides of beef again are divid ed into prime, choice, good, medium and common grades. The various possible then before January 1 cuts in turn are graded according j "There was complete agreement as to their form, thickness, finish and j to the necessity for getting legisla quality. tlon passed before the roads go back.

The director-general ex pressed himself as In favor of legis lation which would ensure the roads a continuance of the standing return, covering the period from January 1 until permanent legislation has been enacted. Senator Cummins made the following statement, following his conference with the director-general, which reads in part as follows: "It is not true that the effort to pass permanent railroad legisla tion at this session has been aban doned. Quite the contrary. The House will undoubtedly pass a bill. Though it 1b not yet out of the com mittee It will be reported very soon. I shall make every effort to pass It at this session, and if that is not SOUSA'S BAND AND SUNDAY Some critclsm regarding holding the concert by SoUBa's Band on Sun day afternoon having ensued, the writer has felt compelled to make a few remarks on the subject, some what in the way of explanation, some- the cuts are factors In the quality of beef. Fineness of texture will be noted by the good judge of meat. The cut surface should be glossy, smooth, or "velvety" In appearance and touch, as opposed to strlnglness and toughness. A good steak will be firm in substance or body as distinguished from a soft, gluey or washy consist ency of the flesh. This is an indi cation of tenderness, juiciness and maturity. On the other hand, firm ness due to a dry, stringy condition of the flesh is objectionable. Ripen ing or ageing In the cooler Improves the firmness, tenderness and flavor of meat provided it Is sufficiently fat. The fresh cut surface of the lean meat on a good grade of beef cut will be a bright, rich red and will turn brighter rather than darker after exposure to the air at refriger ator temperature. Beet loins are graded into No. l's, which must have a complete cover ing of white fat, the thickness of which Is in proportion to the lean, and bright, firm fine-grained, well marbled flesh; No. 2's, with insuffi cient, excessive or uneven covering of fat and a slight deficiency In grain, marbling or color of flesh, and No. 3's, which are more flat in shape, nearly or entirely lacking in cover ing of fat, and deficient In thickness and quality of flesh but sufficiently developed to be cut into porterhouse and sirloin steaks for cheap trade. No. 1 and 2 loins can be distinguished by their full, well-rounded shape. The various grades of ribs of beet differ in thickness, covering and quality to the same relative extent as the corresponding grades of loin. The covering of fat on No. 1 ribs should be about one-halt an Inch In depth. . A meat dealer who can tell his cus tomers the good points of the various grades of meat will not be bothered much by complaints about the cost of the product. the beginning of the new year." WHY TOLERATE THEM? The I. W. W. Is again invading the lumber Industry and has made Its way Into the merchant fleet, dam aging engines and inciting crews to mutiny. After the Centralla tragedy, every community knowing of the, existence of a meeting place for this class of criminals should root It out and turn the men over to the authorities. Why should Industry and the pub lic suffer by allowing such an ele ment to stay In the community? Men familiar with conditions have long seen the danger but their warnings and advice were not heed- ed. The co'd-blooded murder of ex- service men In Centralla proves that warnings of Industrial leaders were well grounded. We should rid the community of this element before mora crimes are committed. PUBLIC FORUM INTERIM RAILROAD BILL PLANNED TO PROTECT ROADS IS What has been troubling railroad officials chiefly since the president's announcement that he Intended to effect the return of the railroads to private ownership beginning January 1 is the fact that, sfece the pending railroad legislation would not be passed until some time in 1920, the mm ni rHLuru wuuiu uul ub bhu cu the roads. It is now announuced i younger members of our family of Thanksgiving message My Dear MrTEdUor: I have a message for all the men and women, the boys and girls of Ashland, as we are coming near the annual Thanksgiving day services to be held in the Christian church on the 27th. I am an old New Eng land boy, 'born almost 86 years ago In Maine, where the people know how to have the best kind of Thanksgiving day. Our cross roads country church or meeting bouse was the only church within six miles each way. Thanksgiving proclamations were Is sued every year at that time by the governor and were read two weeks before the day in the weekly newspaper and announced by the minister at every service, and at tendance of everybody was urged. It was a great occasion to look for ward to by us youngsters. The min ister spent 'hard study and wide reading to prepare the greatest ser mon of the year. The singers se lected and practiced the finest an thems of praise and thanksgiving; the players on instruments were ready with base viols, flutes, horns and violins, and these preparations were known all over four townships, and no one must miss the services. Mv father and mother and tne that the Interstate Commerce Com mittees of the House and Senate thirteen rode in the farm wagon and the older girls and boys walked lave agreed on a tentative program i the two miles to the church.

It is only seml-occasionally that Ashland, or indeed the whole of Southern Or egon, has the opportunity to listen right at hcrme to what Is recognized as perhaps the greatest organization of Its kind in the world, and when the proposition was placed before the management of the local organization which has been responsible in the past for bringing nearly everything of this high class of entertainment and education to Ashland notwith standing the large amount of finan cial guaranty Involved, they Immedi ately responded, "Of course we want Sousa's Band it possible." The only time or date possible was the Sunday stopover and Indeed It is extremely doubtful if any other time than an afternoon and a holiday would at this season have permitted one-half the attendance that was present. The character of the audience and the number Is sufficient proof that the efforts of the management to pro vide this class of entertainment was thoroughly appreciated. Remote as we are from the privilege of fre quent attendance on the finest class accessible to the large centers and .sic would be recognised as a splen- from the occasional bringing in of the very best our taste has been stimulated and cultivated to a con siderable extent. It therefore seems to the writer that the community as a whole should be eager and glad to patronize any and every opportu nity of this sort. Enough for the char acter of the organization In question. What then of the time? To keep the Sabbath as a day of rest is a set tled question from an economic, so cial and religious standpoint. A rest day is essential to the well being of the human race, yet to literally and strictly enforce this view would be to deprive many who are the strongest supporters of the strictest interpre tation of this view, for who would contend that the preacher dpes not work harder on Sunday than any other day. (Sometimes the listener has to work, too), at least we may assume that it is no greater effort for the conductor to lift his baton, or for the members of the band to breathe Into tbeinstrument and pro duce the sweet and harmonious strains that give rest, contentment and Joy to many a listening ear than of musicial entertainment, this very ' tor the organist who sits In the choir remoteness has also tended to ex-1 loft to touch with .his hand the keys elude the cheaDer and trashier sort of the great Instrument. But some of musical and theatrical entertain ment that Is so common in many amall cities of the East which are one says "The band did not play a did organ voluntary, and even the jazziest selection In the bunch, as to tune would be more classical than some of the tunes which are common in many popular church song books. It Is the mission of real music to play ' upon the human emotions to lift them out of gloom, to color the moments with light and life and to produce joy and peace. The commercial part of the prop osition at any rate you will admit, Is to be condemned? And a free band concert in the park would be unobjectionable! Admitting the lat ter statement, the fact remains that someone has to pay, whether a di rect charge is made at the time of the event or not. The municipal au thorities of the city of Portland, Ore., have Inaugurated and instituted Sun day afternoon concerts in the splen did city auditorium and with the magnificent great organ as a founda tion for a program, high class vo cal and Instrumental music is fur nished at a moderate admission fee, each Sunday afternoon. The writer believes this tends to be elevating and for the moral uplift and ben efit of the community. If the churches of Ashland would join with the entire community and have in stalled in one of our auditoriums, the constructed for the purpose, a fine pipe organ and would then institute a series of recitals and concerts Sun day afternoon, the only time in the week when the entire community could attend, and when Irrespective of different denominations, lodges and organizations, the entire com munity could be brought together tor mutual acquaintance, tor singing to gether, for listening to music and, K you will, tor discussion of ques tions tending to the good of the community, Ashland would be a lead er in something that Is coming rap idly Community Progress.
