Their ragrr little mind are always; being held back, lept from learn ing thine they want to know, pen no opportunities for Irarning thing beyond their own experience, until the magic day when they are permitted to enter the tchoolruom. Then they are forced. The sudden change from hampering to forcing it bad in every way. The mind, these wise onrt uy, it like an ice berg. There't one littla tiny bit viiihle above the water. That it the "objective comciouinra," the part you use consciously when you art awake. Way down below thi itrctchea the great, big, deep part of the mind, the "tubliminal conM.iousncj," to-called because it it "iublimina,'' meaning "below the threshold." People who are bold enough to treat these phase lightly nickname it the "tubliin." Up in the little, tiny objective mind are the abilitie we have nuJe for ourselvet by our foolish little efforts at education. Way down in the b!, deep part are the great ttrong power of the mind and will and muscle that we mostly leave neglected. . They'd like to come up above the threshold and get into the game but we teldom give them the chance for gTowth and de velopment. If they never get it, after a while they get tired and drop down and most of ut grown-up could not call them out to our service if we wanted to. But it' too long a ttory for a short space. Few mother have the time to spend in training their children which .Mrs. Stoner was able to give. Fewer care to read Latin poetry to a baby in long clothes. Hiawatha's much better for American babies anyhow. But nearly all mothers begin to see that there is a great waste of human power in our wan of education. Every mother could do just one or two lit tle thing to help her child along. Answering questions becomes very hard at times. But if every mother would resolve to answer one question a day with intelligence, even if she had to stop in the middle of the ironing to look in the encyclopedia for the answer, the total result in the development of mental power of the next generation would be beyond estimate. lion of C"d pot''' t hi country who own IM auliNmJxto.

T I IV' TRADING STAMP I-W whuh U.u,. f ? thould be one of the mwt beneficial nveasuret for Oregon mer thandising that has been passed in recent years. It provide for an xcise tat of five per cent of the gro sale w ithin which i included the total value of coupon or other trade device that may be distributed. There it no real reanm why any ttore should aflopt trading tyttemt to dtatv trade. Those merchant who have installed thit cift-nivine stein ate dine to merely to chesk the wheme of competitor. Trading ttamt were never rrcognired at legitimate advertising but more a a device to buy trade. From the standpoint of the merchant it is nothing more than an ex pensive bad habit. IValer who cannot tee the using and economy ol dropping the trading stamp should reflect upon the added cost when the bill become a law. Not withstanding the repeated awurance of the trading stamp concerns, th measure w ill surely be inforced. Fifty naturalized Chinamen at Edmonton, Canada, want to enlist in the territorial army. Being turned down by the local battalion because it was Iready full, they have appealed to General Sam Hughes, pleading that if they're not allowed to fight for their country, they may go to the front and cook for it. Evidently a good many of us have misjudged the placid yellow man. THE SALT OF THE EARTH rjHE EXCUSE FOR TOLERATION of the tipping system has I commonly been that waiters, porters and other servants are paid such low wages that they must have liberal tips in order to live. With this in view, many men nowadays in city restaurants hand out a half dollar ti. The travelling salesman or impecunious traveller who can't play the game on this level is subjected to many annoyances. Pullman sleeping car porters testifying before the Industrial Relations committee the past week, reported very liberal wages as the result of the tipping system. One roan said that his salary was $42.00 a month, and his tips averaged $75.00. Other cases were similar. The average man employed in Pullman car porter work throughout the country could not probably earn $1 17 a month in other employment A fre quent result is that by flattering and obsequisously waiting on wealthy people, while neglecting others, they win a wage above the average level. Thus they gain money at the cost of a loss of independence. If the tipping system were held down to a reasonable level, it would not always increase the cost of travel. If all the customers of the average hotel should at once stop tipping, the hotel managers would have to increase wages. Probably then they would increase prices. But the tipping system annoys the public with growing size of tips, feel ing that they are victims of a graft, yet bothered by the fear of being unfair to work people. The man with the threadbare clothes is slighted and sneered at, while the one with the costly tailored suit is fawned upon. It is undemo cratic and contrary to American principles. The tipping system thrusts on the traveller services which he would pre fer to perform for himself. If he walks with a light grip a few blocks to the station, he is made to feel that he is a "tightwad" for not scattering his quarters. Hotel and resaurant keepers should see that their employers are paid enough so that their hungry ardor for coins is not too burdensome. I T IS GENERALLY BELIEVED that more automobiles will be used this season than ever before. Many people feci that it is a sign of social insignificance not to own a machine.

The man or woman, boy or girL who earns tome, spends leas, and has a savings pass book on this bank, is on the road to success. Hare you one? THE BANK OF OREGON CITY 33 YEARS IN BUSINESS Mist Shlrlie Swallow, of the Oregon City hlfh school, won first prlie In the annual oratorical eontett of the Clackamas County School league held at Mllwaukle recently. "The Salt of the Earth" was the topic of her ora tlon. Mrs. H. B. Cartlldge. bead q th Enxllth department of the Oregon cty high school, was her coach. The ora tlon follows: The world has struggled for centur ies tov produce ' great men. and thu struggle has not been In vain. In the nation, the state, the community and the home, strong capable men and women who can do things are being sought for; and nearly always when a hand Is needed to guide us through difficulties, there Is some one ready to offer It. Of these willing ones, the salt of the earth is composed. We must remember, however, thut not all of the would-be leaders bare been successful, but It would be diffi cult to draw a distinct line to distin guish them. They may be divided Into general classes, one being called the salt which has lost Its savor, and the other that which has retained Its strength. Those men and women who have given the world comparatively no lasting good, we may call the use less salt Undoubtedly those of whom this class Is composed once bad the In tention of doing something worth while. Hut they drifted Into currents which flow the wrong way, and when opportunity called to them, their backs were turned upon him. So many have helped us that we can not begin to consider them all, so we may look at only a few who hare glv. en us courage and inspiration, the strengthening salt of the earth. There are those who have sacrificed personal Interests and desires through devotion to their country, that they might bring out victoriously a cause which they thoroughly believed to be right. Among the oldest records we have of a man of this kind Is that of the Roman Drutus. His act would not be considered lawful today; but sure ly he believed he was doing right, In sacrificing the life of his dearest friends for bis country. The two whom we may call the hero and heroine of the Civil war were strong supporters of justice as they saw It. Harriet Beecher Stowe stirred the heart of every northerner against slavery. And after the war. when the nation was broken into pieces, It was Abra ham Lincoln who put It together again. Two other groups of enterprising and energetic men are the explorers and the Inventors. Both of these have done much In broadening the working field of humanity. Think of the nar rowness of the old world of five hun dred years ago, compared to the world of today! Columbus, Magellan, Bal- boa, and the many others who added even an Island, a lake, or a river to the mapB, gave it through bravery, de termination and courage. Recently Professor Bell has made possible a trans-continental telephone line, and the tones of the Liberty Bell, which hangs In Philadelphia, were heard In San Francisco. It required only one-fifteenth of a second for tho sound to cross the continent Of Fields, who laid the first Atlan tic cable. Sate trlli us the people said. "He might as well go hang himself with his Atlantic cable. But. "Once more my gallant boys " he cried. Three times you know the fable." 'Til make It thirty." muttered be. "But I wlU lay the cable." And through his determination, he has given the world, one of Its greatest social and cotniaerclal aids. Marconi has worked wireless teleg raphy Into usefulness. Edison has given us so many conveniences anJ pleasures through Invention It would be Impossible to enumerate them here. Each of these saw a possibility, and worked to Improve It, until brought, If not to perfection, at least Into prac tice. Perhaps greatest of all are the liter ary leaders. They have added so much to our lives of love, and strength, and beauty, and good cheer. Dickens has placed In the world Imaginary char acters far more Interesting than many real ones. There Is Irving, known as The Sunny Master of Sunnyslde, unH Emerson, whose kind philosophy has often helped us. We all love Whit tier's sweet New England poems, and have laughed many a time at the kind ly humor of Holmes. All these men have long been In the sight of the public. We must not forget that there are others whose names we do not know, and may never know, but who are Just plain good men and women, always at work, and al ways giving to earth more, than thev take from It. They drop a kind word here, and a smile there, along their way, which will spring up later Into the flowers which make the earth beautiful. Should not we who are weak gather strength from all these, "who while their companions slept, were climbing upyard In the night?" Then, above all, are the mothers and fathers, who have made each good man what he Is. It has always been through them that we are taught by example, patience and sacrifice. It Is by their loving Interest we persevere, and If we win It la throught their en courngernent. You have attended an exhibition of fireworks, and have seen hundreds of fire stars shoot far Into the sky. Hut always they have faded and died, have they not? And always, Just as surely, you may look up thousands of miles above any point reached by the fire stars, and see the real stars shining there, clear and unchanged. It is to the real stars that the strong men and women have fixed their alms, and through this they bave accomplished wonders. "Great It is to believe the dream, As we stand, in youth, by life's starry stream, But a gTater thing Is to fight life through, And say, at the end, "The dream Is true." The result of making great dreams conies true has beon the strengthening of all mankind, and the preservation of the earth's good qualities.
