I thcra a man in Astoria so J a.1 to his own Interest that he will not cvui subscribe, a dollar to the park Improve, ment fund? No, because wc w.int Astoria to be on top, and thla 1 one of the ways ! to out it there make It healthy anJ beau tiful. Who will be the next to aid In supply ing Clatsop' quota to the fund for plac- . Ing Oregon' exhibit In proper shape at the Omaha exhibit? The cause Is a Just one and this a golden opportunity to show the world what we have and why people should live here. The rapid strldea being made by the Progressive Association In the matter of Internal development in Astoria and Clat sop county have caused widespread com ment. A group of young business men. with comparatively little capital, are transforming the erstwhile fishing village Into a commercial port of prominence. Their latest ucces has been the secur ing of a city park site, and now they are at work beautifying and utlllxing the grounds. Much hard work has secured a portion of the necessary funds, and In a few daya will commence tne work of grading and clearing off the land. Every business man of abvanocd ideas and methods 1 In sympathy with the move ment, and most of them have contributed liberally to the enterprise. They know that a park Is a necessity to any decent community, that there must be a brea thing spot for the people, that there must be ome place where a plot of green grass tan be enjoyed by the children and the citizens who love purity and nature; that there must be some ornamental features to the city If we expect to attract here desirable tus.ern people who will aid in the development of our natural resour ces. No one of intelligence and cultiva tion tares to spend his days and his money in a town of the rudest construe, tlon and utterly devoid of all means of outdoor enjoyments. The park move ment Is on the right lines and will be a success, because It Is right, and those people who have not yet come to Its sup port will do so from purely business mo tives, If for no other. WHERE ARE THE HEAL SAVIORS OK THE COL'NTRY? Now that the shrill blasts of war blow In our ears a cer'nin noble band of pa triots who for years have bun clamor ing to save the country seems to have I disappeared, says the Chicago Times- 1 Herald. j The public will readily recall one prom-1 Inent figure of that Spartan host In the j person of Hon. Davis H. Walte, ullaa "Bloody Bridles." When no foe threat ened and peace beamed on all the land the Hon, Mr. Walte declared that under proper provocation ho would "ride In blood, aye, to the bridle's bit!" Now that war Is declared and blood may flow, there comes no hostile note from the Hon, Waite. The sage brush plains and snow-dud mountains of Colo rado are thick with patriots, but amid the cheering and the din of preparation we listen In vuln for the voice of our old friend "Bloody Bridle." Hn Jacob Seltzer Coxey raised an army to repulse the Spanish foe? Where is that militant man, Chief Marshal Carl Browne, he of the long name and soiled buckBkln? Ohio is ready with her quota of men to defend the honor of our coun- try and liberate the enslaved people of Cuba, but from Million postoitlce h.tve come no letter tendering the service of llrlgadler General Covy and Kleld Mar shal Prowne, who a few years go were the only original emancipator in the country. Time wan when ."Wkloss Simpson's song of freedom rang highest In all the land, but since "the splrlt-stlrrlng drum" began to roll Bookless Is singing loo low to le audible to tho nakeil enr, A patriotic storm has swept the state of Texas, until "Ui number the Maine- s as familiar to the native as "Remember the Alamo," but In nil the un ioro!,iRlo.il phenomena, patriotic and otherwise. In the Lone Star state there Is h. cwden. e of Cyclone Davis. Ac.-oiMing to all pro I ho. y anil precedent Cyclone Pavls at this moment should be tearing things up by the roots an.l pri pannt to demolish and scatter broadcast the whole Spanish nation, but. alas, the roar of the human cyclone Is not heard In the land. The scream of tho rife Is heard, but there Is no accompanying note of exulta tion from the Red-Headed Rooster of the Rockies, the Hon. James l!omhate Pel ford. one of the old original retail dealers in trouble. Why this strange silence from those who shoulJ be heard? War has been de clared to exist: we are threatened by a foreign foe; an enslaved people are await Ing our coming to break their shackles and give them freedom: our army and navy are ready to do buttle; thousands of patriotic citiien are volunteering their services, but the latter have never posed as apostles of freedom and saviors of the country. In th'.s hour of our need, where are the rial saviors of our country? COLLEGE ATHLETICS. A distinguished wr.ter in a pamphlet published by the Intercollegiate Athletic ' association, say that an Immense im provement In the moral and physical status of college graduates has taken piaCe since the Introduction of athletic games in college. In fact, the honor list of any college, if examlnl. will show the : names of prominent athletes among the few who have earned that proud d. sanc tion. There Is no reason why "brain and brawn" should be antagonistic. In support of this last proposition the action of that genial lnvigorant. Hosteller's Stomach Hitters, which in strengthening ; the body increase mental activity, may ; be authoritatively cited. This famous j medicine overcome the dyspepsia pe- ! culiar to person of sedentary Inactive j habits, yields sound refreshing sleep, and Improve the appetite. It also remedies ' liver complaint, constipation, malaria, rheumatism, nervousness and kidney trouble. If a man only knew how much more he Is appreciated when he treats a woman with erloua respect than with frivolous friendliness he would always make his conduct Ht In on the former lines. Healthy, happy children make better men and women of us all. A little care : and a little planning before birth la often ; more important than anything that ran be done after. On the mother's health j and strength depend the life and the ! future of the children. A weak and si. It-1 ly woman cannot bear strong and healthy children. Most of the weakness of women is utterly Inexcusable. Proper care and proper medicine will cure almost any d!-' order of the feminine organism. Dr. j Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been tested In thirty years of practice. It Is; healing, soothing, strengthing. It 1 per- j fri tly natural In It operation and effect j By Its use, thousands of weak women ! have been made strong and healthy have been made the mothers of strong and ; healthy children. iaken during gesta tion. it makes childbirth easy and almost j painless and Insures the well b-ing of j both mother and child.

Was It Oi lober or May yesterday? I have boen a sufferer from chronic diar rhoea ever since the war and have used all kinds of medicines for It. At last I found one remedy that has been a uc- I I ss aa a cure, and that is Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. P. E. Grisham, rjnars Mills, La. For sale by Charles Rogers, druggist. Some iwrsons can see a wonderful amount of humor In teasing women who are already wrought up to the highest tension regarding the possibility of those they love being called out to tight. Weil Children that are not very robust need a warming;, building and fat-forming food something to be used for two or three months in the fall that Shey may not suffer from cold. SGQTT'S EMULSION of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos phites of Lime and Soda supplies exactly what they want. They will thrive, grow strong and be well all winter on this spleydid food tonic Nearly all of them become very fond of it. Tor adults who are not very strong, a course of treatment with the Emulsion for a couple of months in the fall will put them through the winter in first-class con dition. Ask your doctor about this.
