"leal r'um ASHLAND WEEKLY TIDINGS VOL. XLIII ASHLAND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1920 NO. 88 FIGHT j H END1 KLAMATH FALLS. The California-Oregon Tower company isj ready to relinquish it a contract with tlio United States govern-! went fur the building ot the Link river dam, which includes provis-j Ions for the storage and distribu tion of power and Irrigation wa ter supply In the Upper Klani-I nth lake, on assurance that the government will build the dum at once. This is according to aj statement of George J. Walton, j local superintendent of the com- j pnny, at a conference with water: Users and American Legion rep-j resentatives here. ; The local post of the American Legion and the water users have, asserted that through its contract with the government the power, company could control the stor age supply of the lake, und in short seasons lower it to a point where It would deprive thousands of acres of Irrigation. 1 Tlio agrement suggests a solii-i tion for a contraversay that has, stirred up much factional dis- ! pute and resulted in retarding ir-: rigatlon development. Itn suc cess depends at present on the action of congress on the recla mation appropriation hill, which must pass before the govern-. mcnt will have funds for construe-1 tion. AAIF.IIIOAMSAI Following Is the prize essay written by Miss Winifred Watson, who Is spending the winter in San Francisco, and who received the first prize over 700 contestants: Americanism means, to me. a national, open door, witli all that that implies of unlocked opportu nities, well-ventilated opinions and wholehearted hospitality for all and sundry. Our pioneer nation, strong In thoiio pioneer virtues, the Btout heart, the stalwart arm. and the glad hand, at the outset scorned anil scrnppid the feudal defenses of Intolerance, tradition, convention and caste; cleared her land of tlio black forests of ig norance and prejudice; carved on the lintel of her log cabin in that clearing, "Here every man may be free"; and here, ever shice. bus kopt open house In tbis, t lie Liberty Hall of the World. Americanism means ' an open mind and a spirit of fair phv. ,Theso are the characteristics which have made America the un failing haven for New Ideas. Her only question concerning a new (liea is, "Will it work?" This pe rennial willingness to try a thing out, to give it a chance, has made our country the great test labora tory in social and political ex periment. Here those three basic elements of universal human as piration, Liberty, Equality, Fra ternity, have been converted into the niost nearly satisfactory me dium of government thus far dis covered. Yet this medium is not the stanlardized product of some unalterable formula fixed by law. Under the supervision of the law it is undergoing continual, sub tle modifications in response to the suggestions of Public Opinion. It Is capable of sensitive reactions to suit the changing n"eds of the passing hour; it is always in the process ot becoming. Americanism means an open heart, Instinct with the spirit of brotherhood. It knows that fra ternity Is the soul of Democracy. It. remembers that it was this sen timent of fraternity that made Abraham Lincoln, despite his lack of most ot our material advanta ges, onr greatest and most typi cal American. It realizes that, without the restraining influence of fraternity, liberty of action readily degenerates into license, and equality of opportunity into selfish opportunism. True Amer icanism feels a big-brotherly re sponsibility for the weak and the ignorant. While too sane not to recognize that, even in a democ racy, there must be diversity of gifts, It Tecognizes, too, that great possessions, whether of wealth, grains, or influence, exact a heavy property tax in humble service. It believes in its own destiny as a lately released, wonder working spirit of co-operation and fellow ship, potent enough to have al ready wrought the twin miracles of merging many states into one state and many nationalities Into one nation. Americanism means nn open hand, that synonym for generos ity. It is the spirit of sharing and service. It is a spiritual thing, a winged Ariel, not to be confined in time or place; it has a mission to fulfill throughout the world. Like Shakespeare's airy spirit, our Ariel, Americanism, is pleading today with those who would cage it here in the land of its birth.

It is one. of the must remarkable almanacs ever published, and is the re- j suit of many years' research by: u well known European rriuie ex-, pert, who has been steadily col-; locling statistics for it nearly all his life. The origin of t'.iis unique ul-j niuiiuc is very simple. Like a ! good many others, the expert thought not only that crime w.l3 more cc nun during certain months ot the year, but that cer tain crimes occurred more fie quently in one month than In another. No one else, however, has taken the trouble to test the theory thoroughly, and bo the al manac was born.
