ROSEBURO, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1925.
THE OLD HOME TOWN.
o
Many men go back to their old homes at this time of
year, for a visit or to attend some celebration. Some of them
.adopt a rather bragging attitude, and tell about how much
money they are making1, and they seem to enjoy astonishing
their former friends with the stories of their success.
They may not mention the fact that it probably costs
" them a lot more for everything than it did in the old home
' place, where the ways used to be simple and may be so still.
The folks in the old town may have as much money in the
bank, or at least it might support them as long under their
, less expensive conditions.
" " The folks who stay right along in one place are apt to
come out about as well on the average as those who are shift-
I jng around. For every one who makes gains as the result
of his alert changes from one scene to some new one, there
ire'several who never get a start because they are constant
ly throwing away the advantages they have and beginning
new.
;:r. '
' "Gentlemen's Agreements" seem to be a source of much
controversy about the state house at Salem, with our es
teemed governor as the central figure. Judging from the
"facts developed in the wordy duel between Mr. Eddy and
Mr. Moser in the fish and game commission squabble, in
" which Mr. Eddy accepted the "double-cross" with commend
able gracd, Governor Pierce has laid himself open to'scvere
censure; but the adroit executive earns a meed of forgive
ness for his conduct in that affair by showing equal disre
; gard for the reputed "gentlemen's agreement" between the
state text book commission and the book manufacturers,
thereby the latter would compel the payment of higher
prices for books used in the public schools. Governor Pierce
flatly refuses to sanction the agreement and demands that
the furnishing of the books be based on competitive bids.
An unpleasant situation is threatened when the Governor
. meets with the text book commission next Monday to thresh
out the matter, .but the people of the state will endorse the
- governor's stand against the ' proposed legalized extortion
and acclaim with the utmost satisfaction the victory that
Uiey are confident will crown his effort.
PRUNE
It is seldom one .sees in .combination the qualities of
tourage.'presence of mind, good judgment and modesty, such
as were displayed by the woman who saved a man from
drowning at Dillard this week. Disdaining notoriety and
even the thanks of the grateful beneficiary, she went on her
way without divulging her name. ,The plaudits of multi
tudes have been shouted for deeds less noteworthy than this,
but in their effect they are as nothing compared to the sub
. lime satisfaction one must feel at the performance of the
noblest of all acts the saving of the, life of a fellow being.
o
A man who makes a living with his head was bewailing
the other day that he had not begun saving earlier in life,
and that he had not saved more.
"" . "Well," said a consoling friend, "you've still got your
.head, and it still works. Why worry?"
"Yes," said the thriftless one, "but the trouble with me
is that I have never set aside enough for depreciation on the
intellect." ' - .
Submitted as a brief sermon on thrift.
o
The amount of life insurance per capita in Great Bri
tain is $190.00, while in the United States it is $5 10.00. A
speaker at an English insurance meeting recently said that
in the United Kingdom the insured generally thinks of how
little insurance he can decently carry, whereas in America
he thinks of how much ho can afford. Give the ubiquitous'
American insurance salesman credit for causing some of the
thinking. . .
