Ushered in with the cheerful toots of more than 18,000 engine whistles, the week is being observed to demonstrate the advances made by railroads in speed, comfort, safety and other advantages to the public. The Southern Pacific has been a great factor in the growth and development of this city, and Ashland joins heartily in the observance of this special Railroad Week. The payroll of the com pany here amounts to $150,000 annually. Every busi ness concern, in fact every citizen, gets a benefit from that payroll. The products of this district are trans ported to outside markets. Products of other states and districts are brought here. Railroad travel has been made attractive. It may not be long until the Southern Pacific will be equipped with stream-lined trains. The railroads are showing enterprise and progress and de serve a hearty boost from the public. ---------- 1---------- THE ACCEPTANCES When the band played “Mollie Darling” In the days of long ago, Life was like a fairy garden Where enchanted flowers grow; And the world was full of melody That seemed almost divine As the music thrilled its magic Deep into the heart of mine. Oh. it wasn't such a swell affair, That dear old village band, But it had an air about it That was militant and grand. There was nothing hifalutin’; And the tunes were played by ear; But they took you up to glory, And they filled your soul with cheer. Cy, the barber, played the cornet; Bill, the blacksmith, beat the drum; And the big bass horns and altos Made a noise like kingdom come; But I used to think the angels Were a-flitting to and fro When the band played “Mollie Darling” In the days of long ago. Seems to me about a thousand years In accepting renomination for the presidency, Since I was just a boy Franklin D.

I join with you. I am enlisted for the duration of Comes floating to my ears the war.” I can see that old band marching Mr. Roosevelt likened the economic royalists of Down the streets of vanished years. today to the political royalists against whom colonial (Copyright 1936) patriots in 1776 led an infant nation.
