• HILTS NEWS •
Now that Ashland’s city officials have counter
acted the earwig nuisance by releasing thousands of
parasitized earwigs it has been suggested to The Miner
by one resident—whose ideas are both timely and
utilitarian—that the powers that be gather together
several hungry goats and turn them loose on weed-
burdened parking strips, vacant lots and indifferently-
kept yards.
Goats wouldn’t be a sachet to the community, but
they certainly could clean up a number of eyesores.

SO WE’LL LEAVE THE WORLD’S TROUBLES
TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES THIS WEEK!
A good friend of The Miner dropped in the other
day to offer his counsel to the editor and we publicly
acquiesce to his suggestions.
First, he explained that we were erroneous in a
recent declaration that within 10 miles of Ashland
there stood millions of feet of commercial timber.
“However,” our friend added, “there is plenty of good
timber within about 25 miles of town, which is rela
tively closer than 10 miles would have been a few
years ago.” And not being much of a timber beast
ourselves, and never inclined to climb the hills and
cast a calculating and trained eye at the stuff, we’ll
be content to let the blamed things keep their distance.
Another point mentioned concerned last week’s
front-page editorial on the recent “sneak” election by
the school board. Our critic would have gone even fur
ther than we.
His third point included cautions against writing
too much about the present war in Europe because, he
explained, “None of us really know a great deal about
the conflict, its causes and probable implications, and
we can do little good and much harm by over-enthus
iastic discussion.” Well, we’ve got to agree he’s right
and, besides, we can’t think of another thing to say
about it anyway.
So we surrender to summertime lethargy and just
let the world plod on in its blundering, stupid way
without important editorial help from this department.
We make one reservation, however—we will not sign
an armistice with the republicans, if we can get our
hands on additional coals to heap on their heads, the
dopes.
