Let’s pep up the old radio now as this. He remembers vividly the panic of the 70s and the talk of the people then about the 1857 panic. He also distinctly remem bers that his mother said in the panic of the 90 s that the people then did not know hardships. They had It much easier than their par ents who Invaded the then wild west east of the Mississippi. J. C. Penney, head of the Pen- ney stores, in a recent radio talk, said that in the 1857 panic over 50 per cent of the property of the United States changed hands in liquidation. Probably few of our younger people realize that. Neith er do they realize, if they learned it in their United States history, that prior to the Civil war private banking houses had the right to issue bank notes, secured only by the credit of the bank. Many a man went to bed with a bank roll supposedly worth >1000 and woke up next morning with it only val uable as kindling. Here is a true story of the 50’s. Judge Arad Hitchcock, of Osage, Iowa, sent Bill Miniger, a team ster, to McGregor, then an im portant shipping town on the Mis sissippi, a distance of 125 miles, with a load of wheat and told Bill to pay his hotel and stable bills out of the proceeds. Bill did so and returned and handed the Judge the balance a lone nickel. "Take It and buy a glass of beer," said the Judge as he handed it back. Ed Jenne, of Whidby island, in Puget sound, told the Old Timer that in the 90's he pulled a row boat seven miles to Port Town send and sold eggs at seven cents a dozen and butter at 10 cents a pound. “I was darned glad to get it,” he added. The Old Timer could fill the Miner every issue for weeks with just such stories if the oldsters would start telling their early experiences and what their parents told them. The United States recovered from those panics and as the man hood and womanhood of America regains its initiative and its con fidence in itself and the country as well as the government, the United States will recover from this. After the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln and the attempt on the lives of his cabinet, the mes sage was flashed all over the country from Washington: “God reigns and the government at Washington still lives.” It was true then; it is true now. Definitions of the NBA are, like the devils of the Scripture, legion. Here is one from a show trouper: "Nerts, raspberries, applesauce." People sometimes complain of newspapers on the ground that they charge for publishing news just because it will benefit some particular cause. A Brainerd, Minn., man came into the Dis patch office one day when the Old Timer was a reporter there. He handed the managing editor a sheet of paper and said, "We have been remodeling our store. I have written an account of It and want it run just exactly as I have writ ten it.” "It will cost you just 10 cents BEN H.

Another editor, then in Ashland, Wisconsin, and now of Boston, took the stand that the first not-1 ice of any meeting was news. Any further one was advertising. "Bob” Fisher, managing editor of the Walla Walla Union, used to say: "You can get away with murder if you do it with a grin." In a big hotel you can get away with anything but murder If you do it with a tip. If you don’t be lieve this get Sam Jordan talking about the time when he was chief of house police In summer resorts at Hot Springs, Va., and Palm Beach, Fla. There he contacted Harry Thaw, and John D. Rocke feller, at the opposite ends of the spending line, and hundreds of other nationally known people. Do you remember when Carl Loveland had the city band? The Old Timer knows many do be cause of the comment on his story about the Shrine band. A picture of Loveland's band appears In the Miner window. ----------- •------------ Two university leaders declare that girls cannot be "beautiful but dumb."

CARTER Service Station SILVER CREST DAIRY On the Boulevard SHELL, GILMORE RICHFIELD Products In a very un-rough wrestling card at the Medford armory last night, two huge boys from the sunny part of Europe made their initial t«>w before local fans and split honors. Kasey Colombo, 215 from Italy, smacked another European, Hans Schultz of Germany, for two straight falls In the main event while Al Pereira, 215 from Por tugal, lost to the popular Jim Healy, 214 from good old San Francisco, In two consecutive falls Both matches were very tame in comparison to the uffairs that have been shown of late at the Medford house of horror, but the large crowd of spectators seemed to like the change. In the opening match Healy made short work of Pcriera First fall came when the foreigner, in attempting a sonnenberg at the seemingly helpless Healy, rebound ed from the ropes with Healy on top, who promptly pressed his shoulders to the mat. Second fall was even shorter, lasting only five minutes and end ing when Pereira missed a Son nenberg and went right on through the ropes to knock himself out. In the main event, Colombo took the first press in 21 minutes with a series of Sonnenbergs and a body press and ended the match in the same way just four minutes later. With the exception of a few brief flurries in the main show, both matches were devoid of any rough stuff. ---------- •------------ FAMOUS FIDDLE FINDS HOME AT MARBLE CORNER PHONE 78 I Mrs. Litwiller, Assistant Phone 32-J-l YOUR UPHOLSTERY CLEANED AND THOROUGHLY VACUUMED With Each $1.00 Lubrication Job On Your Car “IT’S DONE THE MOBIL WAY” First National Bank OF ASHLAND FIFTY-ONE YEARS OLD IN 1935 PORTER’S SERVICE STATION larry Porter 304 NORTH MAIN, ASHLAND C.
