President Ashland Club No 1 ★ A ktntared us second-class February 15. matter 1935, at the poatoffice at Ashland. Oregon, under the act of March 3. 1879 A FEEBLE GESTURE, TO SAY THE LEAST! Great is the majesty of the Oregon liquor control commission, this week in session to “abolish the two- bit fortified wine jag.’ That august body has decreed that, come Sept. 1, no fortified wine shall be sold in containers of less than 24 fluid ounce capacity. Which raises the ante from a pint to about one and one-half pints. That fortified wines are used mainly as cheap drunks there can be no doubt. Police records show that most sodden stumble-bums and adolescent tipplers are packing hopped-up vintages in lieu of more ex pensive and better controlled liquor. Just what the liquor commission hopes to accomp lish by decreeing that the thirsty shall buy their for tified wine binges by the pint and a half instead of by the pint. The Miner fails to grasp. If the liquor commission really is desirous of reaching their ob jective—the elimination of alcoholic abuses—they will be well advised to classify all fortified wines with whiskies and other spiritous liquids and restrict their sale to state stores for holders of liquor permits. Then the souses and kids and bulbous-nosed indulgent could be better sifted. Of course, no system of control will be perfect. But if liquor stores are practical for whisky, then they also will be the proper outlets for spiked wines. Telling a man he has to go on a two-fisted gargle instead of a puny tipple won’t get sober results. Sometimes the liquor commission reasons like was under the influence of its own wares. ★ ★ at England today. She owes us about a billion dollars in defaulted war debts, and income taxes there are several times what earnings are assessed in the United States. Cabinet members and even a king have become “fed up" with public affairs and have resigned. And England has had to kiss her enemies on both cheeks and polish apples like never before for swell-headed European dictators. Who knows? Perhaps one of these days tables will be turned, and Americans will beat a path to England on lecture tours telling the blooming Britishers what’s wrong with the Isles. But first, it would be a patriotic gesture if our supposed industrial leaders would do some flag waving at home. theft by leaving your car locke«! and the brakes set at all times when it is unoccupied Promptness tn reporting a theft la the chief factor in a quick recovery. —a n . . ★ SIZE IS SUCH AN OVERESTIMATED THING! • Mr and Mrs Hart of eastern Oregon arc guests of Mrs Hart's mother.

Whenever chronic gripers run out of anything else to crab about, they frequently dig up the old argument clincher which goes something like this: “Now, you take it over in England, things are a lot different, blah blah blah.” Yes, “they” do everything better somewhere else than here in our own country. Everybody knows grass attains a deeper emerald across the border. While business leaders and politicians yelp about the American government, and refuse to spend or im prove their properties during the New Deal’s tenure, they forget that if things are as bad as they say in this country, even so we are far better off than most nations. For years England and Canada have been held up as glowing examples of model governments. But look A beautiful service , moderate in coat rever ently and efficiently con ducted. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY AUTOMOBILE IS STOLEN? You should be prepared for such an emergency by having a nota tion in your wallet or notebook as to the license number and motor number of your automobile, which you should communicate immedi ately to the police department if the theft occurs inside a city, or to the sheriff’s office or a state patrolman if the theft occurs out side the city. The more informa tion you can give concerning the circumstances of the theft, and the more accurately you can de scribe your car, the better will be your chances of having it re covered.
