Tho Aphlund Itcconl eontalns a
"plpo druam" of nn ullotret! in'iotinB
between tho mayors of Modford and
Ashluml at tho eotinty fair on Ashlund
day a meeting that never occurred,
nltho thoro were almost a score of
AHhland pooplo utteiuiing tho fair on
Anhland day. The Itecord's tale Is
as follows:
Thursday was Ashland day at the
Jackson eounly fair and tho mayor
a ii i many ot Its citizens were there.
They Jiint dropped In, and during the
afternoon represented from two-
thirds to three-fourths of the crowd
tho balance being from oulrdde points
the only people present from .Med
ford were thoro retailing their wares.
or course Ashland did not furnish a
brass band and inarch In with its
head and tail up or othorwl.se conduct
Itself In a spectacular manner. This
peeved the royal gyastricutus of the
town and ho proceeded to unravel a
grouch In tho presence of tho mayor
of Ashland. Just how long the
grouch would have re-iched had It
been all unwound was not estab
lished, but It was Homo grouch and
was wrapped around tho Medford
mayor very closely. That grouch
may have been a mile long und It may
have been thirteen miles long, and
perhaps It would havo reached clear
arrow and over tho California state
lino If It had elongated Itself fully.
It Is not necessary to repeat what th
mayor of Ashland told tho mayor of
Medford, hut as both are foreor
dained and predestined and come
from a long strain of Scotch ances
try, tlio meeting ran ho Imanlned.
They talked about entertain nients,
and the purveyor of perambulators
got so Infatuated with his county fair
ho thought ft should have drawn Ash
land llko So Long I.etty and .should
havo been us well attended as tho
Hon n (1 it was by Medford. Tho may
or oT Ashland protested that howling
about attendance was a waste of wind
i lid should be conserved, and recom
mended tiiat (ho father of tho other
town learn l) "1 looverlzo" on holly-;
nelie; that It was his observation the
people knew entertain menlH when
they saw them and asked Pop where
was Medford on Medford night at the
county fair they were over patroniz
ing Tho High Cost of Loving at Iylb
ind DIM and left the pooplo of tho
country to fraternize In tho Xat by
themselves while tho Medford bunch
wero sipping from n moro juicy line,
of entertainment. After tho mayor!
f Aithlaud got tho mayor of Medford
tangled up by demoiir.t rat ing that his!
contention that a social function
could be compared to an Ashland at
traction was absurd, irrelevant. Im
material and ridiculous, and that his
county fair was a rather jejune pro
gram at best, the mayor of Medford
concluded that his grouch was rather
dry and asked the mayor of Ashland
to hospitalities. On account of the
present High Cost of HootleKuing tho
hospitalities were. grnpo Julco.
To this Mayor (lutes has replied
as follows:
Sept
Kdllor Ashland Itecord,
Aidiland, Oregon.
My Dear Sir:
I :u 1
I have just completed reading your
article regarding a conversation sup
posed to have been held between
your mayor and myself and In reply
will state that evidently some one
ha: had a pipe dream or an awful
ease of nightmare. I can truthfully
say that i have not seen or talked
to your mayor in several mouths, and
furthermore I was not at the fair on
Ashland day until U o'clock in the
evening. 1 did not talk to nuyom
from Ashland on that day to my
knowledge.
There is one thiiiK that 1 pride my
self with not havtns, ,ml that is a
grouch, and I am willing to leave
the decision as to whether or not 1
am subject to such moods, to a num
ber of your cit ieiis. whom 1 have
the pleasure of catling my friends,
and believe that if you will consult
them you will find that Ashland has
not a better friend tu the Kogue river
alley t ban tiie presi-nt mayor of
Medford. Sinct iely ours.

Germany mnt have a great army

Germany is great because of the
Bismarck "blood and Iron" formula.
The Germans have proven on many
battlefields that they fear no ono.
King Wllhelm of Prussia, RIs

"blood and iron" welders, were great
men.

lutve come to America.
Germans who have left "tho Fa
therland' must never forget tho Ger
man tongue, hut must hold ft as tho
dearest of all gifts, or woe bo to
them!
Not true? Sounds like a German
conspiracy? Don't believe It?
Well, it all must he true, for every
one of these statements, und others
like them, are found In the one place
where abovo all others "the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth," Is found or should be found
a public school textbook. . ,
Tho book Is "Im Vaterland," a text
book for dusHon In German used in
high schools all over the land, and
just now tho storm center in a drive
on German "kultur" In Cincinnati,'
Columbus und other Ohio cities. j
, "Jm Vaterland" is un Imaginary j
trip thru Germany In which, by the,
dialogue method, American boys and
girls studying tho German language
are expected to assimiliatc German
"kultur" in the same way as on an
actual tour.
Those who have started the Ohio
drive on this bit of the kaiser's
propaganda in America claim that is
exactly the result. They point out
pupils studying "Ipi Vaterland" get
a sort of rear-platform-of-the-obser-vation-car,
idealized view of Ger
many, and find extolled tho very
world-menuco which President Wil
son has said America cannot tolerate.
The frontispleco of "1m Vaterland"
is a full-page portrait of the kaiser,
with all his medals. Tho German im
perial eaglo is Imprinted on tho cover
of tho hook.
The author of tho text, Paul Valen
tino Huron, in his preface, announces
tho book's purpose Is to glvo the
American student a better "apprecia
tion of the Germans,' and to "broad
en and deepen his knowledge and;
lovo" of Germany and things Gor-,
man.
The preface takes pride In the
fact that "Im Vaterland" was "made
in Germany." and Is based on actual,
personal experience. Paeon snys the
manuscript was reviewed nnd criti
cised by teachers lit Prussia, Saxony
mid ltavaria, and therefore Is presum
ably entirely satisfactory to them.
It Is. Hut it Is not satisfactory
to teachers in Cincinnati and Colum
bus, at whose hands it Is now com
ing in for n little, after-publication
review.
Columbus school officials have
barred "Im Vaterland.
It. .1. Condon, Cincinnati superin
tendent of schools, has ordered a
kultur hunt in ull German textbooks.

supplements the Imaginary trip thru
Germany:
In a poem to "The Cermnns in For

"Yon Germans, beneath utrange
stul'H in distant lands across the sea,
do not forget your language reson
ant with harmony, strong and gentle,
your only mother tongue In all parts
of your old country, that echoes with
in your souls. "Woe and shame to
him who forgets.lt. and
your boys and girls should hold, as
tho dearest of all gifts, the treasure
of tlie German language."
Kuno Krnncke'B "America's Greet
ings to Germany" contains a German
Ainerican viewpoint hardly consonant
with war conditions:
"O Germany, of all your children.
It's Pretty Comfortable in. Your Office
Your coat is off, the windows are open, the electric fan
is on the job; there's a box of cigarettes handy, and a pipe
when you want it, with plenty of tobacco also a box of
fine cigars in one of the drawers.
But it's different over there in France
Those Sammies of ours are awfully shy on good
smokes; they don't like the French tobacco, and they
want the kind they're used to. .
Help send cigarettes to the soldiers. It's easy to do:
we've arranged to take care of anything you give. Here's
the way:
The Medford Mail Tribune Tobacco Fund
has just been started, to supply our boys with their favorite
smoke. Will you help to make it a success? This has been
endorsed by the Government. Through the efforts of this
paper, arrangements have been made with The American
Tobacco Company to send d5c worth of Tobacco for 25c.
Here is what they will get:
2 packages of Lucky Strike Cigarettes, retails at 20c
3 packages of Bull Durham Cigarettes, retails at 15c
3 books Bull Durham Cigarette Papers
1 tin of Tuxedo Tobacco, retails at 10c
