The prize had been posted early in the sea son to encourage ticket sale for the annual feature.

Flaharty, also announced purchase of two pairs of glasses for underprivileged school children as a part of their sight conserva tion work, and Secretary Ned Mars reported that the current city slogan contest has been at tracting wide attention, with near ly 50 slogans already submitted as the contest passed the half way mark early this week.

AW, LEAVE US ALONE! “Fewer radios would be played continuously day and night if more people could stand to be alone with their thoughts." Len Hall. But how does Ia*n know? He has never had one with which to be alone.—Weston Leader. ment the wheat grower» of Oregon und Washington, as well as nil other wheat sec tions, is a desire to prevent a repetition of the World war experience, when farmers cul tivated every acre available, a practice which subsequently resulted in the dust bowls, ruined farms and farmers and caused terrific depression for w heatmen. Concretely, the theory is to place a limitation, rigidly, on the number of acres devoted to wheat This is expected to prevent too great surplus with consequent low prices. To grow wheat the depart ment would issue a permit, or li cense. stating how many acres each farmer could use for that crop. The plan is materially dif ferent from the present voluntary agreement. There would be an in direct processing tax, which would go back to the producers, and this tax might be a fraction of a cent, plainly printed on each wrapped loaf of bread. 1 1 1 In Pacific northwest states, par ticularly, there has been a demand in recent years to save the trees along the highways of federal aid system, as these trees are being logged off. Under the federal road act, funds can be used to acquire a strip of forest on these high ways if the state highway com mission will match the money However, highway officials prefer building more roads rather than divert any funds for beautifica tion. James W. Mott of Oregon out lined a proposal to meet this sit uation at the 25th annual meeting of the American Association of Highway Officials this week. (Continued on page 6) New music courses inaugurated by Ashland’s school system this fall already have attracted 126 advanced and beginning students, according to an announcement by Supt. Theo J. Nortoy following the Tuesday evening school board meeting.

At Junior high school 16 beginning string and nine ad vanced string students are study ing under Miss Maxine Conover, and 28 wind instrument students have joined the band directed by Croft. Two of the bandsmen are beginners. At the high school 27 have joined the orchestra while one student is a member of the pep band.

Forsythe and Earl Rogers at the junior and sen- ior high school principals’ con- ference scheduled in Salem Oct. 26. 27 and 28.

New 1940 Chevrolet Due for Showing By Selby Co. Saturday The Chevrolet for 1940 will be displayed over the country Sat urday. Oct. 14, with the Selby Chevrolet company demonstrating the new car in...................... their Ashland showroom. Lloyd Selby and Verne Hastings spent some time this week in Portland previewing the cars and inspecting features which are said to make the 1940 Chevrolet the sensation of the low-price field. The car is completely new from bumper to bumper, inside and out, said Hastings last night on re turning from the north. It is longer, wider, lower and has new lines, new dash, new upholstery treatment, new mechanical fea tures and many other improve ments. “It really is entirely new in every feature, not just a few changes here and there.” declared Hastings. The public is invited to the Sel by showroom where the new car will be on display starting Sat- urday. ------------ •------------- Number 41 CITY BUDGET IS LISTED FOR USE OF INTERESTED j^ECAUSE Mayor T. H. Wiley and city councilmen were anx ious to give the proposed budget ior 1940 the widest possible cir culation among citizens, the de tailed figures are published on page 2 oi The Miner today, as well as in the daily paper, foilowuig a custom estabiisned several years ago.

Ashland’s water department will produce an additional $58,100. According to City Recorder J.
