Spirit," etc. O, how the sermon was
listened to by old and young, and
how It Inspired the congregation to
better and happier living!
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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

what for the purpose of discussing
the general aspect of the case. 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

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.,

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

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
