Weather-beaten and warped siding, cracka and open joints are forerunners of decay. Many property owners ner'ect to look for siirh signs, judging their houses and buildings by general appearances only. It is good business to make regular inspection of your property, and to use paint of good quality, which is the purest preventive of decay.

It was too personal. Filially when I could make no more ei'tises to myself I took out the letter and read: "If you only knew, my dear Kaiherine, hi.w much pleasure I get in sending my thoughts tn you. you would nut allow any Puritanical prejudices to stand In the way of reading them. lU'ivon fur Ills Jiy. "Hnw do I know that you have prejudices against reading them? Why. my dear. I know you. 1 know you perhaps better than you know yourself. 1 know your lo.vr.lty and steadfastness to John and because of It 1 am not quite sure that you will ever read this letter; and some times I do not care if you never do. The Joy I am getting out of it is the Joy of sending my unexpurgated thoughts to you. 'l have learned. Kaiherine, one wonderful thing about you shall I p.-.y friendship? and that Is that there Is really much more happiness In giving love than there is In re eivjne It. Much as I would like to know that you arc well, that ou are happy, and that you "are thinking a little tiny bit of me occasionally, I would rather that I would give up ho sound of your voice of your nearnes than the wonderful Joy of my dreams about you. I am out here tonight In I.otus land mv dear Katherine. all the way rfown the Nile. Lotus are In bloom. The whole river is creamy white with he blossoms, and the moon turns h.-m at free to silver and then to opal as it flirts with them caregsin- hhind the clouds. r one ees an Eevptian moon anywhere Ise on earth except riEht here and I am not alone, because you are with j ne. More with me than you ever Acre, when 1 was close beside you j n that occidental latl of youth and i energy. 1 thank the fates every day that I had s'ept the earlier Part of mv ' life In making money lots of moojy I because 1 am afiaid. if 1 were no. blo to indulge in my dreams now, that my buatm-sa would sunVr grtai ily. I am smiling at myself, dear. when I think what my fnenus woui.i My if tliev could look down in my heart and find the trend of my mind iheee days. Kvery one of Ihein woul.l ihink 1 had gone i.nd.

I wonder if fate Is always taneline up the threads of other people's lives as she does mine? It is my destiny, ft seems, never to pet a letter from Karl Shepard. hreaililng the most poetic devotion, that I do not re ceive one exactly opposite from John. Is fate Joking or d'les she want us fully to unders'and the difference be tween a husband and a lover. While I had been away a special delivery letter from John the let ter I had gone to meet had passed me by and Hannah had re-etwd it and placed it in tny room. I did not notice it when 1 first came In. my thoughts were so taken up with the envelojie in my po.kot, b.it now as I went to place Karl Shepard's letter in a drawer 1 s.iw .li hu s ;i ( . the dresser. It was in a !uincF3 envelope and It evidently had been written from rn office in the oil fields, for It reeked with the odor c erue oil, from greasy smudges upon it. As I tore it open 1 had a feeling of be ing a spectator at a play', so coincl dently had letters from these two men been coming to me lately. Tnrncms- Ited ew. F.I.KHKAI 1TF.M1. Fd.

Editor News-Reirlew: 1 ssw an editorial In your ppCT recently giving a plan tor making a ve city tliul 1 thought was a fine idea, it wua a plan for getting ideas Iroin the people at large by the use of printed slips to be dlatrlb.ilvd among them calling for suggestions retarding the welfare of the cliy. An artlile on the front rage of your pa per of Jiay 17 asks "What's the mat ter with Roseburg?" 1 want to Bay ihst the main trouble with Koseburg is that the will of the people of Roso burg is not being carried out. Yean :go the people of this city voted S.'JO.OciJ uuiids for the construction of a municipal light and water plant. Why didn't we get It? I want some body to answer that question. Why didn't we pet it when one dollar would buy what three dollars will buy now? For years we have wanted a city park. At last a public spirited citizen offered a beautiful park Bile to us absolutely free of churge and seems to be having a hard time to get our city duds to take It. It is proposed now to make the pi blic buy an aviation Bite. This proposition Is backed by a deter mined set of business men who will rtap whatever benefit there Is to b-. gained by such a site, and they want the people to foot the bill. The peo- le who would defeat that measure are the ones that have the best in terests of Roseburg at heart, and!!' their will is carried out we will havi a bigger 'and better city, because the city will be full of boosters lusteid of a discontented populace. The peo ple went to the polls and cast a solid vote for a railroad and sawmill but we couldn't have that. It seems we er.nno! have anything that will mnk for a biggor and better city. The aviatlor site would lie a fine thing on 1 aper to spread broadcast over the world but that's all. It would brine moro people here to Join the dls-"on tented lot that Is here. The busi ness men would get what loose bange ihey had and the purpose of ;!ie aviation site would have been .tried, but the prosresslve citizen. of the city do not look with favor on a proposition of that kind. It is claimed airplanes are practi- al as forest patrol, but we have es trbllshed lookout stations with tele phones throughout the forests a! it-eat expense, and they are the most efT'"'" means of detecting ard re ertliu a fire there is. The "pro- ;.-e:sivc" rumens who are so anxious :. r att av-a.rn field ace cs refill not o mention the huge continual ex pense nf maintaining an aviation '. Id after It is once established. Let he business men buy the Ilanan field if they want It so bad. They co:ild 'o It and not miss the monev. The same argument applies to the tour 'st rami) grounds. Nobody wants the camp grounds ex.-ipt the business :mn. Thpy want It for the new dol 'ars it brines In and nothing else, r.et them furnish the grounds. The ity dads have already appropriated -."0 from the city treasury for th 'euefit of the tourist and are Just waiting to see If the people will stand for It to squander a much larger nm on it and lack hundreds more on fnr an annual upkeep. ;)on't be for.bd. I say vote for something that will make for a bigger and bet ter city. Vote for a municipal light :ni w.iter plant: Vote for the inter ests of the people at large. Instead nf bench of men that are so anxious to add to their dollars. E. E. MORGAN. I tVomen should be taught by those of exneri .... l-"" " nicer lieailil.
