Last year the people of Oregon after a spirited campaign, decided to Ibsuo $6,000,000 in bonds for state roads, built in conjunction with the countless. It appears to some of our esteemed citizens to be quite n largo sum. To others it seemed little enough, says the Portland Orogonlan. Truth is that the people of Oregon us a whole have had difficulty in grasping the fact that roads are not a mere local Investment or commun ity Improvement, but an essential factor In the life and development of v the state. It has not been long since the prevailing opinion was that each county or township should build Its own roads, and that the state should not invest a dollar in them. Then It was grudgingly conceded that there ought to be a greater or Jess degree of state supervision, so that a certain harmony of plan might result nnd duplication of work be avoided; and. Anally, out of much, dissension and running about in different directions, the superior Interest of the entire commonwealth in a comprehensive road program was discovered nnd proclaimed, and the Btate concluded to Invest a denned sum in main high ways. Hut the expansion of the provinci al attitude from narrow and local ideas to a larger conception of the citizen's duty and the state's welfare has not ended with the $6,000,000 bond Issue, The war has made obvl- ous other considerations, which are that the community, and then the state, have a direct and vital relutlon through roads to national concerns, Tlio main highways havo military value, actual or prospective, and the subsidiary or market roads have an . ; Indispensable part in solving the problems of greater productivity which now- confront the wholo na tion. ' Of coursd, there are roads every where, and any Bcheme of building or rebuilding thein In all directions Is out of the question. Most of them will serve present needs and even the growing war needs. But the main highways, bearing the burden of the largest traffic, cannot be ne glected, nor will state or county or nation, If thoy are wise,' neglect them. For ordinary uses, they must bo maintained and Improved; and for whatever extraordinary part they 'may be called upon to piny In the . groat events of the lime, they should bo ready. . The state highway : commission, with patriotic vision, recently an nounced that for the period of the war It would confine Its service to completion of contracts under way and to the Pacific highway and the Columbia river highway. This pol icy has now the indorsement of the national government through Its can- Ital issues committee, which has np- provca a ?buu,ouo bond Issue for work on those principal thorough fares. Doubtless this decision, made with duo regard for the stnto and national outlook, will be accepted as necessary and wiso by every patriotic citizens of Oregon. WHAT WOSIE.V WILL ACQI.-IRE, Edna Ferber says In an artlcl called "The Joy-of the Job," which Is printed in the March American Mag' a ?.lne : "And right hero I want to sound note of warning to the erstwhile Idler. Of all the habits in the world the habit of work is the most Insld lous and tenacious. Once acquired it Is almost impossible to Bhuko off. "I do not mean that all those wo men who, Blnce last May or there abouts, have been hemming sur geons aporns at the Red CroBS shops, taking care of the Podzllnl babies over on the west side since Mrs. Podzllnl has had to go to work, pil lng lumber, running elevators, nun names or knitting sweaters, aro go. lng to become so obsessed by tliel work that they'll scorn the Wednes day matinee, turn up their nose at tennis, and abhor a game or bridge That would be too dreadful to con template. But t do mean that It Is going to give them a new feeling to. ward these things. "When the war Is over, and the world is sane agnin, and oi-dor be gins to come out of chaos, the whole feminine world will ho found to havo acquired a Job. It will have been gained at a terrific price. But when they begin to balance up the book: there will be found on the asset Bid of tho ledger entry: "item One working habit, newly acquired oy millions of women. "Value PrlceloBB." When Sheriff George K. Qulne, act ing in the capacity of expert witness at the rocent bootlegging trial, was called upon to attest to the genuine ness of tho contents of numerous and sundry bottles, so It is alleged bj various Individuals- who witnessed the harrowing scene, there was a vague, far-away . looking ' hack- ward glint In tho. eyes of each Juror, as if remembrances of events in tho long ago were being recalled It is further alleged by affiants who occupied the spectators gallery at the court room that memorable day this week, that as the worthy cus todian of Douglas county 8 peace and safety tipped tho bottle to just the right angle, and.as the vintage of Sev ern! scasonB ago gurgled across the official pallet, thore. was an Invol untary, unanimous movement of in tense interestedness on the part of twelve assimllutors of the testimony, twelve right hands spontaneously sought a doezn mouths, twelve pnirs of orbits fixedly watched the lilt of the adored contnlnor of the liquid under tost, nnd when the minion of tho. law pronounced the "licker" to be "very good" and fully up to pure food law standards, there appeared something akin to swallowing of that "old lime remembrance" on the part of Just one dozen of "our peers. It was a merciless crisis, something nltlll to going over the top, hut the Intense tension was finally passed with tho excusing of tho expert tes tifying for the stnto. With a few weeks of tho prosonl prevailing fine weather, spring plant ing will bo the dally program of the thrifty farmer. In this community. With all food stuffs having Increas ed fully twenty-live per cent since the war began, with no limit to si ill further advancoB along this lino tho coining year, tho farmer who has a bumper crop of most "any old thing" will bo able to got over the lop In good shape. - I Quite n large proportion of young men set out deliberately to do baroly enough to satisfy tholr employer In fact, many of them would feel hnppy to do as little as they can and still satisfy their employer, remarks magazine writer. Another set of men propose to do Just what tholr em ployer wants. They, however, are at all times exceedingly careful to guard their own rlghtB and not to give a Binglo thing In the way of service that they are not paid for About ono mnn, however, in twenty takes the real, quick rond to suc cess. He makes up his mind dollb eratoly that In nil cases he will not only give his employer what he wants but that he will surprise him with something unexpected, some thing beyond what his employer has nny right to ank or oxpoct, and it is astonishing how fast HUB lino of ac tlon leads to success. A samplu of Gorman ati'ncltios practiced across tho wnlor was brought to light in tho circuit coin! today.

Oregon can do ltu bit in the production of beans, says Assistant Food Administrator VY. K. Nowell, The army and navy alone can use a great amount of the beans, and the product can bring better than 9 to 9 Mi cents a pound, sayB the com munication from the food authori ties. -. - Oregon contributes but one per cent of the totnl bean' production of the country, it Is said, but the ad ministration wants that one per cenl to help out the general situation. Up to the present somo 900 tons of beans raised in Oregon last year have been Bhlpped out of the state. A survey of the Btate made recently by one of the large wholesale grocery nrnis' of Portland Bhows that there are available about four carloads at Kngene, three car loads at McMInn vllle and one at Medford. Beans valued at $3,000,000, which are either on tholr way from Japan to this country or are stored In war houses at Snn Francisco, have been commandeered by the govern nieut.

The grow ers realize that the trees respond to good pruning, thorough spraying and careful cultivation. Some orchards were Inspected which the owners were neglecting to spray because of the absence of scalo, thus permitting tho moss to grow at will. Nothing will lower the vitality and rcduco the profitable production of a prune tree like moss, unless It Is seule, according to Mr. Pearcy, and a grow- who neglects to control moss In his prune orchard is losing as heav ily as. an apple grower who falls to BPray lor codlln moth It is a patri otic duty to produce every pound of prunes possible, during the war, and no treo will respond to good care quicker than a prune tree. The Douglas county orchards are said to boar heavier thnn the prune coun ties in the northern part of the s,tate. A neighborhood' party was held Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Chas. Hagar, on Doer croek, the event being in honor of Misc. Mabol Oladwell, of that vicinity, who Is Boon to becorae the bride oi ll.li ley Garland, of Tillamook, Ore. Knitting, sowing and social converse occupied the afternoon In a pleas ing manner, Including several mu sical numbers by Miss Mabo! Boyer und Mrs. Chas. Hagar, a dainty lunch being served before the guosls departed.

D. H. SHAM BROOK, City Marshal. A scarcity of fnrin labor Is not con fined to Douglas county alone tf a letter from Nicaragua, Central America, to Earl Pearcy, of this city, Is to ho believed. Tho writer states Hint the natives will work hut three or four days a week and if nature .gives them a good corn crop they are contented to spend nil their time matching their game cocks.

The agriculture Is primitive, the natives still using the ancient Biblical plow stick.
