A St. Louis man of wealth and prominence kills himself because he cannot longer endure poor health; a Terre Haute man of good stand ing attmepta BUiclde because he has lost his money; an Illinois man shoots himself because ho is "tired of life"; a New York woman drowns herself because her husband has do Bcrted her. And so they ko In the record of a day derelicts along life's pathway, men and women un equal to the conditions in which they find themselves. One charasterlitic, it may be as sumed, is common to all persona who take their own lives a selfish con centration upon themselves. No one, as they view it, ever suffered such wrongs as they, was ever so discrim inated agalns'. by fate, was ever call ed upon to endorse such pain. They havo no pertpoetlve ; they can not see beyond their own threshholds; they magnify their own importance and their own trials and fall to com prehend that others have equal and even greater trials and sufferings. For indeed ire the people who get through life without bitter discipline of soul and body, but those who make the most outcry over the disci pline are not often those upon whom the heaviest trials fall, the reverse being commonly tho case. The man who decides thut life Is too hard to bo longer endured Is a woakJing, and suicide marks hi in as such beyond question. Ity his net lie confesses himself unequal to trib ulations, tho like of which others en dure without protest, only being led thereby to gird themselves for fur ther endeavor. Opinions may differ as to the measure of crime that is Involved In suicide, but tho feeling that the act is a betrayal of a lack of courage In Its highest sense the courage to bear life's chance Is uni versal. Tho mere physical courage or mental desperation and daring that Is involved in the actual com mission of the deed compares In no defrree with the rouritKO to l!vn when affairs go wrong. Tho man who kills himself because he can no long er endure life puts a brand upon hU character deeper than laws or the church that label the deed as a crime can bestow. MAKING THE SOIL YIELD. One way to reduce tho cost of liv ing Is to make the ground produce larger crops. Too many farmers are more Intent on adding to tho size of their farms than in getting bigger returns from the laud they already own. It Is well known that in gome European countries where conditions of soil and climate are scarcely as good as they are in this country the yield per acre of crops Is much great er than with us. Germany produces twice as many bushels of wheat to the acre and England does even bet ter. Wo see similar contrasts even In our own land, and the strange thing about It Is that states possessing the richest soil sometimes show the poor est relative returns in yield. Illi nois, for Instance, ranks high In soil fertility while the soli of Connec ticut and Maine Is naturally poorer, yet Connecticut gets 35 per cent more of corn off an acre than Illinois does, and In wheat Maine gets twice as much. A similar condition pre vails as to potatoes, oats and some other crops, and this difference In yield is, of course, due to the dif ference between Intensive and scien tific farming and that which to a large extent is superficial. It stands to reason that If a man Is a benefactor to his race who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew formerly, so also is the man on a given amount of ground doubles the yield of corn, wheat and other crops and tho thing can be done. That this would benefit the con sumer goes without saying, but It would also benefit the fanner. True there would be a slight extra cost for labor and perhaps a somewhat small er price for his products, but the much larger crop would more than balance this. Then, too, it must be remembered that It require no more buildings, tools and fencing for a hundred aero farm producing thirty bushels of wheat to the aero than for the same size farm that yields but half the amount. And this fact is equally true as to other crops. WOMEN' EOll FA KM WOKK. EVEHOHODY TAKE NOTICE. If you want to sell your prop- erty, whether it be the farm, city lots or house, cows, horses, 4- or chl'keiis, a clasrilfled ad. in The News will bring lyou & buyer quicker than any other 'medium. Call in and let us tell you about the matter. failure, says an exchange. The ex tier! meat anuears to have been an other Drook Farm, on a similar scale as the famous Massachusetts ei)eri ment, and for one sex only. Per haps it ought to have failed; per haps, also, it railed because it wa too one-sided. Not only for the good of the race, but for tho development or the inui vldual. men and women ought to llv. together, ' Tho attempt to better the condition of working women by teaching them means of self-support however well meant, falls If does not consider this fact. Women, more than iinen. are gregarious or, at least, domestic. They desire com imnioiishin, not isolation, in their daily lives. And isolation is Impll rd in most farm life projects for h betterment of women s condition One member of Mrs. Helmont's colony has given some light on an other feature of the matter. mibk IxMinora Hrokaw Is quoted as say ing that "Instead of learning how t raise chickens, milk cows and get a knowledge of growing vegetables, our work was mostly drudgery." Thl sounds like Hawthorne's complaint that at lirook Farm he found life mostly In a barn yard. There Is much sentlmentallsm much false romance, about life In the country. Much drudgery must be done there ns In the city. Thou who seek to escape it wholly should remember that the temperate zone which gives vigor of body and mind also demands work. Nothing for or against the advancement of women In the economic sense appears to be proven by t he llehnont experiment It suggests merely that human na ture doesn't change readily. Mrs. O. M. P. Uelmont's experi mental farm for the training of young worn mi in farm life seems to be a Once Again The Red Ribbon Cash Grocery Is in the front on prices, as wo have now a largo ware room connected with tho Btoro wo are In a position to sell you groceries and feed and flour at JobltcrV Prices.

IlltOOICS COM KT. Now Visible In Kastern Sky At An l-.urly Hour. Portland Telegram: Get up early and see Mrook s comet. Its great. Hike a flaming sword, or a des (ending skyrocket, the comet blazed in the eastern sky this morning in. line u niece of celestial work as ha. been seen in years. The comet is making a better showing than Hall- ey s last year. The tail isn t as long as Hal ley's Just before It switched the earth, but It looks more businesslike. Get up any time before 5:45 and look in the eastern sky. If there are no clouds, as was the case this morning, you can sin? the comet, for (here it Is streaking its way like a lightning express train. The comet appears almost directly over Mount Hood, or a little north of the snow- pcitlt. Tho head or nucleus, is a glow ing mass, unlike a star, for It does not twinkle, but tho Incandescent core Is bright. Streaming upward from the head Is the tall, some 20 degrees In length. The tail is slight ly curved and runs nor'-nor-west. This comet (there are half a doz n buzzing around In the sky just now), was visible lu the evening up to a few weeks ago. I C now has passed so far beyond the extreme star In the handle of the big dipper that It has dropped in the west be fore sunset. I his makes It appear lu the morning for several hours and It is as big ai all outdoors. This morning there was not a cloud and Veniu, the morning star, looked as big as an airship and brighter than an arc light. It's worth getting- up Just to see Venus In all her glory. The comet Is about 40 degrees from Venus. Urook'B comet will be visible sever al weeks longer, although it is skim ming along at the rate of 40 miles a second. Not much is known of the celestial wanderer, as It was only discovered during the a u miner. So far as known, it has never appeared before, or at least, the sky-sharps have been unable to identify It. . o UHWh XKWS. S. If. Croy, of Camas Valley, spent yesterday lu Roseburg attending to business interests. William Buxton, the Brockway farmer, spent t!ie day In Hoscburg at tending to business matters. William Perman, who has been spending the past few days at Ku gene and Springfield, returned here this morning. Or. A. C.

The plaintiff Is represented by Attorney C. S. Jack- J. E. Fulkerson, who resides near Seattle, Wash., arrived in Hoseburg this morning to take charge of the remains of his brother, Harold Fulk erson, who met accidental death at West Fork Tuesday evening. The remains will be shipped to Minnesota for burial. Mr. Fulkerson doubts the contention of the coroner that his brother committed suicide, and appears to believe that he met death through the accidental discharge of his revolver. George Matthews and John Ryan, both of whom were arrested late yes terday accused of drunkenness, were arraigned before City Recorder A. N. Orcutt this morning, and upon en tering pleas of guilty were fined $5 each. Matthews paid his fine, while Ryan was short of funds and accept ed the alternate of 2 days in jail. Both arrests were effected bv Night Officer Williams, who Is lilting the position of marshal In the absence of loseph Huffman. According to Riddle residents who ire spending tho day in Roseburg. . C. Byers this week disposed of his beautiful 1 !M)-aere ranch, slt 'lated near Riddle, to A. L. King, a recent arrival in Douglas county from Washington. It is understood that Mr. Byers and family will leave Douglas county shortly for distant points where they will locate. Mr. King has returned to Washington where he will make preparations for moving his family to Riddle. It is said that Mr. King paid spot cash for the ranch.

Plump 288-R. dtf j How to Save Drudgery of Labor and at the Same Time Get Nearer Even With the Water Co. Did you ever consider that the average fam ily will not use but 1000 to 1500 gallons of water per month, yet the pay is for 5000 gallons? Now you should use a part of the 3500 or 4000 gallons of surplus water by using a water motor to do a part of your work. For instance: Run your wash ing machine with one or buy a machine with one attached. It will save you wash da)' drudgery. We have the best motor machine on the market, being springless and gearless. Then why be troubled with dull cutting tools. The kitchen, the home work shop, should have sharp tools, as well as any other shop. A motor attached to a grinder will do good work for you and pay for itself in the satisfaction of sharp tools to work with. Yes we have a fine line of grinders also. We have them with both Coroorundum and Alumdum wheels. Have them to turn by hand or with mo tor attached. T ley run in price from 2.50 and upward. It requires no effort to use either of the ab rasives, as usually the weight of tool to be ground will be sufficient to keep the wheel cutting. They will not grow smooth and have to be dressed as does emery. Let us show you them. Churchill Hardware Co. IRONMONGERS DO VOl HK.V IA.K How near and dear Xmas is?
