Are you afraid of wrinkles? Arc you suffering from an ingrowing grouch ? None of them? Then why don't you smile? History tells us of men who trained themselves not to smile, because they wnnted a strain ed expression of countenance. The sav nges also prided themselves on not showing any sort of emotion. Have you noticed in the war photographs that the mothers of the war heroca of Europe arc not smiling Neither arc the generals who are doing the killing Only the heroes themselves are smil ing. A hard nnd stern expression does not Indicate a good heart nor a clear conscience. A thief seldom smiles. The woman of the streets smiles with her lips but her eyes nre hard and cold. The poverty stricken man on the street who begs for a dime, sends his plea di rect to your heart if his appeal is ac companied with a smile. Only the fail ures of life never smile. A smile is the cry of the sentry of the soul -"All's well." THE COUNTRY EDITORIAL Many editors of small papers refuse to give their readers editorials on the ground that editorials are for the large city papers and tho public does not care for the views of the country editor. As a matter of fact, the views of tho rural population nre really re flected by tho editorials of the large city papers which glean them from the country papers which run editorials. The sound thought of the country is to bo found in the rural districts. Here in the more or less quiet of the coun try, men and women read and study and gather data which results in con clusions founded on a solid basis. Tho country editor usually is a com paritively poor man but he has sand and independence nnd a pride of work rarely found in other professions. Moreover he is brought into closer personal contact with his constltituen cy than the editor of the big city pa per. It is safe to say that never before in the history of journalism have edi torials been more widely or carefully read, not perhaps, as in tho old days, to base an opinion on tho views of the editor, but for the purpose of getting all sides of every question.. EUROPE COMMITS HARI KARI? Here is a German view of tho wnr. Pointing to tho rising American power owing to the destruction of Europe, Profesor Simmel declared there was plenty of room in the world for both Great Hritain and Germany "if England would only give up her short sightedness." Ho suggested that with Germany and England working in harmony they could main tain peace nnd retain for Europe, "a place in front of tho growing powers of America and east Asia." "America stands as the waiting heir at the death bed of a rich testator.

That tmui to man the wide world o'er Shall brother be for a" that. - ltnbi'rt Hums. sei of nmunition to Europe is the rhii i 'Mention of this attitude." Pro fessor Simmel said. "Europe sends n fortune to America nnd receives its omiValcnt to blow in the air or ratier uges it for better execution of itg suic;j0 to hasten America's succcs- sion to the world throne. "America plnccs its arms into the hnnds of European nations, hoping they will kill themselves for its advan tage, and then takes huge profits. This weakens Europe in two ways.

The ambitious school ma'am is apt to regard this as the last straw. And here is another specimen cal culated to swealen the gall of bitter experience. The Chnrm ran aground in a fog in the river last Saturday morning and the Telegraph hitched onto it and helped it back into deep water. Let the good work go on. Yes there Is beauty in tho winding river and the fir clad hills and the nigged mountains and the roll of the surf on tho rock strewn bench has a glory nil its own. Hut none of them is prettier than the first glimpFe the traveler from Bandon gets of the Rear creek valley with the level farm lands lying among the hills. Pretty and picturesque it surely is and tho dweller therein has a few addi tional tics of attachment in the know ledge that his fenced in lands arc fertile as well as beautiful. There are farms there from which it would appear only the resistless hand of tho grim reaper could pry their owners loose. As pleasant a looking squib ns we have run across in many a day is the following from the Coquillo Herald: "The Sentinel is too modest. In mentioning tho high praise received " ... ,, T I !.,i...I Uiat Ull- Uillliu-l a juhui-u was printed at the Sentinel office and is a job that re flects credit on the printer as well i'.s the students."

Oil Company, (Cnlifornia) recently adopted for the convenience of its Zcrolene custom ers", said Col. E. II. Merrill, manag er lubricating oil department for tho company, recently. "Salesmen's re ports indicates that these barrels are going like the proverbial hot cakes. Of course they will not be put to the various uses that fall to the lot of the coal oil can, because this barrel is made to bo refilled, but from present indications these barrels will soon have made their way to even the re mote points whore Zcroline is used." The barrel in question is fitted with a patent inucct ana mounted on n stand, it makes an excellent garago storage tank for motor oil. This fact and because mdtorists nre fast acquir ing the habit of buying automobile supplies in quantity, accounts for the remarkable popularity of this new Zcroline container. Lewiston, Pa.

The Bawmore, an English steamer, went ashore at Floras lake August 18 Tho cargo of the boat was mixed con sisting of 1000 tons of coal, 450 tons flour, 500 tons of genernl merchandise and twelve street cars. The latter are supposed to have deflected the compass and got the ship into diffi culty. According to reckoning the ci-.scl should have been 20 miles off chore. A dense fog prevailed at the time of the wreck. The boat was on her way from Comax, Britisli Colum bia to Callao, Peru. Her best busi ness was the carrying of petroleum from South American parts to North Pacific ports. There were thirtyone , persons on bonrd including four pas sengers nnd all were safely rescued. This was acomplished before Keeper Scott nnd his crew arrived. They proceeded to save the effects of the passengers and crew. The only freight which it was attempted to take off were two Jersey bulls which were made to swim to shore. One of them drowned in the surf on the way to shore.
