It Ib to be hoped that tlio house will otlok to tlio determination to have the ano limit In the selective draft measure Dlaced at 40 years, in- Btead ot at 27 yoara as the admlnls- tratlon flilll In the senate require Men of 30 to 40 years of age are bet tor able to bear thiH burden than are the hlKh school boya and young men of 20 to 23. . Jlecords show that the rebellion was fought, mainly, by mere bovs. It Ib a shameful stale of affairs which will permit of this thine boine repented. All over tne country mothors are protesting this thing, and their plea is Dcing lascn up by men of niaturo years, who are demanding that this war measure In clude tho men. Hundreds of thous ands of men above the ni;o spocllled In tho administration hill in tho sen ate would be avnllublo for Borvlce If tho age limit Is extondtd to Include them, as It should bo. Most of these men referred (o are unmarried, have little to hold thorn from tho service, nnd will no foil rid In nil the cities, townB and villages of the country. Many of these men aro upending their time In comparative ldlenoss, and they are the fellows who can best be spared for military duty. There are untold, number who will not volun teer, and the only way to get them is to boost tho ago limit In tho war incisure- nigh enough to admit of their being called upon for service. Don't let nil this wur tnllt lead yo'i to tho belief that tho industrial af fairs of tlio country are going to smash. Quito tho contrary will be tho result. Iluslness conditions wilt be greatly stimulated, and everybody will dud employment at good v.uges. Instead of men seen tramping through the country with pack on their bucko looking for work, employ ment agencies will find it neccssury to hustle around for men to take places on the farms and In tho shops of tho land. Wages will bo good. Already there Ib such a scarcity of ' laborers that pay, liko ovorythlng olso, has gono ,up. Tho need of men for work in tho fields Is even now being felt In DougluB county, and only tills weok one employor in formed Tho Nows that ho wanted two farm laborers and was willing to pay $1.75 a day and board, and still wus iinablo lo get takers tor tho job. In reality ufTalis tlio same stim ulus will doiihtlei!B be folt. With In creased circulation of money people will 1)0 able to build homes and buy farms, so that In this rcHpect husl noHS will revive. Tho part that Japan lias iilayed In this worlds war has brought unprecedented prosperity to thnt-country, and tho same results will work out hero. Colonel Hoosevell's step into the war ureua with two hundred thous and voluuteers has been checked !' congroKB. Mr. Roosevelt's, proposi tion to fight Germany with his ari:lY of volunteers was certainly a patrloij deed and shows the true spirit of the loyal American citizen that he Is. If congress will not permit a brave lead er with two hundred thousand anx ious volunteers backing him up to enter tho foieign lands to tight our enemies, why talk ubout sending the flower of American youtli into the trenches? The wur between the Unit ed htates and (icrmany Is only in lis infancy. No person can foretell what a day In the future will bring forth. Tho present attitude of Itussia Is to be reckoned with and it may put an entirely different light on the war sit uation within a fortnight. Liv-wire Doings of the City Judging from the scale cf wagt-Sj demanded by tar in hands ntid those' en Kuied In many other pursuit! tlio high prices paid tor farm products of all kinds tlio threatened war seema to have developed Into a regular, full-fledged booster. With good wages. and high priees to the produc er tho "war calamity howler" w 11 be compelled to take a back seat. It Is mil Mug out, of tho ordinary In Douglas 'county hi moot an old tlmcr who Ih crowding tho 100-year mark of roHidenro on thin earth, nud doesn't look It by twenty-live yearn neither Is It of much wonder to "hump up" agnliiKt snmo follow who hasn't crossed, tho half-way nun k but looks like ho hud been a Hit r ago passenger on Noah's ark. This Is Btiro soma cllmato this DoughiH county atmoftpbere but there are n fow who fail to take advant'ine of It and die young In body and mind. They wouldn't tako the euro villi a "force pump" and fifty yrnrs usual ly puts llioiu near tho undei tal:T h door which, literally speaking, ii a good thing for all concerned. War Is Just what Sherman mild It was hut some fellows got used to It before the utato went dry. An occas ional "shot" every now and then, ul this time, would put thorn In prime condition to meet tho onemy. It's dollars to doughnuts tha't when It comes to voting on tho bond issue for better thoroughfares you will find the women casting their ballot in the affirmative. It's seldom you Hnd the gentler sex opposed to legitimate Improvements. They us ually beat the "old man' to it every time. Those-' gentle spring rains accom panied by tho prevailing warm weather will open tho eyes of the Hnid und make the onion weep to boo daylight. With plenty of mois ture in tho ground there will bo an abundance of food produced this season regardless of a late 'season. Tho billions of dollars of money to be expended in war preparations will bo put Into circulation In our own country, und this in itself will create now wealtn for use in the world struggle for humanity. Singularly enough, most or those supposedly high minded critics who can seo nothing hut evil in Ainwicae participation in the war have a habit of writing anonymous letters. Tho young man who suspect: that thero is no further opportunity for ambition has only to apply at the nearest recruiting station to bo re assured. Tlio ono thing that might halt business now is an unpatriotic psy chological feeling of panic and a raise Idea of patriotic econohiy. c Many a man at forty will be a whirlwind on tho firing line. And those between thirty and forty a vorltaulo "go get 'cm." Tho worst thing that could happen to the .world these dns would Jto a hiiHluct'B depression in our United States. Look out for tho weeds In the hack-yard-" garden. This is a crop that never fails to mako good m (tiantity. Now If wo can keep tho stray cow from mixing with fhe buck-yard gul den a bumper rrop Is assured. Soon be time to roll up that, big vote for the good roads bond issue both state and local. Look pleasant It's so Declining and good for tho muse lei ,t thy face Tho strawberry will soon he King biy: jt can't beat our Uueeu. (ieniiiuiy Is not so much in need of men us of men that can't be ciptuit-d. lU'turiiH to Portland. F, M.

' ' VEXATION OF SPIRIT So long and earnestly I've wrought, Pursued the beastly grind. I've ringbones on my dome of thought, And spavins on my mind. Tho ghastly fear of evil times. Of poverty when old, Has kept me hunting after gold. I have a package put away, Whore none can jar it loose, And sometimes at the close of day I wonder what's the use? Throughout this weary worldly jaunt I've skimped and saved and pared 1 I've done without the things I want. The things for which I cared. To add one round dollar more To what I have in brine, I've made existence sad and sorer And what reward is mine? Why do I slave and toil and grind Why do I toil and spin? I'll have to leave my roll behind. For others to blow in. These words seem ever ringing loud, hike some decree of doom: "There Is no pocket in a shroud,. No cash box In a tomb." The best cure for tho above Is an income policy with The Mutual 1.1 fo of N. Y. No restrictions as to rar.
