CLUB CIGAR STORE I SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1909 -EVENING EDITION- COOS COUNTY TO HAVE "LOG ROLLING" HERE One of the biggest "log rollings" ever held in Southern Oregon will be pulled oft in Marsh Held the first week in October, according to F. B. Tichenor, general organizer, and J. CONGRESSMAN W. C. HAAA'LEY, of Snlcm. P. Smith, special organizer of tho Woodmen of the World, who arriv ed here yesterday to start the cam paign for It. I. I. Boak of Denver, Colo., head consul of the order, and Congress AV. C. Hawley of Salem, chairman of the board of head man agers, and Mr. Tichenor will be pres ent at the event. This will bo the first time that the highest official of any order has ever visited Coos county. In the "log rolling," all the camps in Coos county will participate, and WHAT IT COSTS TO LIVE AND DIE It has remained for Yankee In genuity to estimate what it costs n man to live from the cradle to the grave, says an exchange. A Boston man after long and painstaking research, has discovered that it costs $1,000 a year for the average well-to-do American citizen to maintain himself from, Infancy to old age. He generally lives sixty- two years, and when the final bal ance has been struck it is found that he has paid $62,000 for the privilege of being born, living and dying, In the United States. In the early part of his life some body else, usually his father, pays thin (imsnso for him. But as he grows up and rears a family he pays this all back, and more, for the care of his parents and the rearing rof children. So that the rule holds good that a man pays the expense of his own birth and rearing. Of course, all Americans do not live up to this thousand-a-year standard. The pauper who begins his days in the workhouse and ends them there at 80 for those who depend upon the efforts of others for their support generally do it as long as thfiv pan even he costs at least $12,000- to clottu. and house and feed. ' The man who spends most of his life In prison costs more, because the cost of catching and convicting him must be added to the cost of keeping him. Even the nomad hobo costs not less than $100 every year he lives his wasted life. Be spends little, it is true, upon clothes or lodging or anything else, but if all the goods that he gets by begging, bullying and thieving be added up, together with the expense entailed In pre venting him from getting more and in moving him from place to place, It will be found that his life from first to last entails the expenditure pf a sum which If expended at his birth, would have procured him an annuity large enough to have main tained him decently. The question inoy be asked wheth er, in view of these facts, It would be worth while for the community to advance to every Individual, plther at his birth or on reaching tho ago of 21, a sum equivalent to tho total estimated cost of the particular life. It may be suggested that the pau per's expectation of life at birth be ing forty-one years, and the cost of keeping $150 a year, the estimated cost of his whole life would be about $6,000 a sum which would purchase life annuities for two pau- .pers. Instead of one. The great ob jection to thlp plan Is that every Amorldan boy expects to be a mil lionaire and not a pauper, sp he WWWNNN-WWW it is expected that a class of over 200 will bo initiated here. A spe cial degreo team of thirty from Port land will be brought here to put the class through. Mr. Tichenor is also planning to arrange for special excursion rates from Portland to Coos Bay for the week, allowing everyone who desires to come here at a minimum cost. If the excursion is arranged for, he p'ans to ndvertise it extensively at the Seattle exposition and get a large number of fair visitors Inter- General Organizer. F. B. TICHENOR. of Portland. VWAVa ested. He is also planning to have the three publications of tho order devote a page to Coos county, print ing views and write up of this sec tion, thus sending an advertisement would Indignantly reject any pauper allowance. If you could have borrowed in. babyhood tho $62,000 which you will have spent in maintaining your existence you and those dependent on you would be much better off than you are. In short, we could all wish that we had come into the world with a few thousand dollars in our pockets at tho expense of other people and the Idea of the government acting as, fairy godmoth- ler to every American baby undoub tedly has attractions for those of us whose fathers omitted to pile dol lars for our benefit. These computations do not cover the millionaire class. It now costs these scions of American nobility $1,000 a week from youth to ago. At the ago of 60 this would amount to the sum of $3,000,000. As to what it costs tho American girl and woman to live no exact sta tistics are as yet available. But, on the whole, it does not vary much from that of n man moving in the same rank of life. It Is one of the essential charac teristics of a civilized community that Its members are mutually de pendent upon one another for the means of existence. Even the agri culturists who grows his own food and whoso wife spins and weaves the materials of clothing even ho can not live upon his own labor unless he has a surplus. The man who lives In the center of commercial life Is forever taking money from one set of men and giv ing some or all of it to another set. Fortunate is he. Indeed, If the dol lars come In a little faster than they go out: for they are hardly got, and too easily spent It costs money to come Into the world for the doctor and nurse have as much right as the baby to a living. Nature ordains that a man must eat to live civilization ordains that he muBt pay to eat. The law anil the climate domand that we shall have roofs over our heads and clothes upon our bodies; neither can bo had without money or the equivalent of money. From Infancy to old ago one Is surround ed with other people's hands out stretched for dollars; and oven when the end comes the dead man's purse 13 opened to pav for his Interment. Any person with a mathematical turn can easily calculate how nearly his own llko expenses como to tho averages given above. Ftrlke an average of the annual cost of your life till now; multiply !t by the number of years you are entitled by human calculations to .-oppose that life may last, and you t;l bo surprised at the result.

E FORTi OUT f FROGS HORACE I). BROAVN OF IOAVA, AMASSES LARGE SUM IN LONE STAR STATE BY RAISING CROAKERS. DES MOINES, la., June 26. Tho new senator from Texas, Hoi ace D. Brown of El Campo, the much her alded frog king of America, was for merly an Iowa man, according to George I. Huffman of Des Moines, who was his guest recently. Senator Brown was a small mer chant near Clinton until several years ago, when ho failed In business and went to Texas.- AVlth but $160 In his pocket and with no knowledgo of farming, Senator Brown began his business career anew and now owns one of tho finest southern home's In tho center of 200 acres, of fertile Texas land. Senator Brown Jumped suddenly Into fame recently by hla frogs, which were chronicled through M the press to be as large as chickens. Mr. Huffman, who visited Senator Brown last week, vouches for tho truth of the frog story. n, ' "Tho frog pond is In his front yard, and Is no wider than the aver ago sldewalk.'I declared Mr. Huf uV man. "I would not have believe. 5, the frog story myself if I had not u eeen theso frogs with my own eyes. Three of these frogs make a men! for . five people, and I never tasted chic ken meat that was any bettor than that frog meat, I caught some of tho frogs myself. They go out at nights and take lanternj and It Is no trouble at all to spear them with tho forks that thoy have for that pur pose. "Their croaking at night Is mighty dismal music, but one can stand any thing when there ! sufflciont profit in it. Senator Brown does not go Into the frog raising as a business, but his frogs show what the proper kind of food and enre will do for frogs In Texas. "Senator Brpwn has ono of tho finest farms In Texas. AVhen he wont thore he had practically nothing,. Ho had failed in Iowa and had but $160 which he Invested in Texas land. Be cause of tho climate and soil and tho willingness of fruits and garden stuffs to grow In Tevas, It was no time until he had one of tho finest truck gardens In tho country.
