WHY CAPTAIN WINCH
A
CHAIN of cireimislances fitting neatly into one another
lias led to a famous writer and sportsman, Captain
Frank Winch of Forest and Stream magazine stopping two
days on the Vmpqua. Driving toward Rosebtirg Saturday
he i in pressed somewhat with the appearance of the
North Vmpqua river as he crossed the Winchester bridge.
Just as lie was entering the city his eye fell upon the paint
ing of a scent; on the North Vmpqiia placed by the Roseburg
Lion's club at the foot of Winchester street. This further
interested him and he slopped at the chamber of commerce
to asl a few questions but intended to go right on. W. C.
Harding, chamber of commerce secretary, phoned John
Kwell. John F.woll and Charles Lock wood persuaded the Cap
tain to spend Saturday night and Sunday up the river. John
took him up the river where he met Major Mott and bought
three stories on the North Fmpquu from Molt. The cap
tain caught a beautiful sleelhead and returned to Roseburg
and resumed his journey thrilled and full of enthusiasm for
Roseburg and the North I'mpqua river.
An analysis of this chain of events is interesting. If
lie had not seen the Lion's club sign Captain Winch would
not have stopped. Yet some folks seek to have that sign re
moved. If the chamber of commerce secretary had not been
exceedingly active Captain Winch would not have even
paused. If John Fwell had not been at hand full of vigor
and enthusiasm and ready to sacrifice himself to benefit this
community it might have been difficult to find someone to
lake the captain up tin: ii-er. Few people realize what a
booster and result getter John Kwell is for this community.
Sportsmen all over the country know hinrand are attracted
Jure because he says fishing is good. Major Mott is here
and will give the river marvelous publicity, as the result of
John K well's efforts. John is working night and day for the
community. John, himself, profits not at all except as do
the rest of us, yet he does more than any of us. We should
all have John's spirit.

The kinship sweet of reverent souls
Kul OS cvei j'where between I lie poles;
On nt)!le cleedd they're firmly bent;
I hey catch n breeze from henven Bent
A gracious vision from the skies,
See all mankind with loving eyes.
Have winsome fragrance of the heart,
With all good people have a part.
- They rise above minute details,
Give little note to cicedal trails;
Ihry hear the cry of human need
And fly with help that is their creed;
lheyi.es their brothers in distress,
And seek to biinij them happiness;
1 hey join the fellowship of love
1 hat gathers wisdom from above.
While in this strange far Southern land,
Our friend came on this valiant band.
1 rue princess of Qtiet-n Ksther's line -

IShe saw that far liom native shore-
1 hese lives a benediction pour.
I ler hcait awoke to kinship warm;

This report shows that for the first three
months of 1929, the death rate from diabetes
was in excess of 23 for each 100,000 of the popu

highest percentage of deaths ever recorded from
this cause. ' ' '
Overindulgence In food and drink is regarded

Hut here is a comforting statement: "This is
one of the diseases which, among older people,
may be prevented by popular education."
Nature is more than generous. She is even
prodigal in bestowing her gifts. She has equipped
the body with organs nnd parts that are capable
of supplying all the digestive substances that are
