Talk with him, ask him the reason for his behavior, for there is no reason why you should have to stand it. Find other friends, do not make yourself unhappy. Of course you should not disregard what he is do ing. Many a wife has had to shut one eye to certain defects in her husband's character, hut there is surely no need for a young woman to do so, in the case of u bov friend. GARDENS..... and Other Things Ily CHARLES A. II It AND Tonight there Is to be another free stereoptienn lecture al the South Methodist church. The speaker is to be Miss Helen (.1 11 key of the (). S. ('. faculty and the sub ject Is "Oregon's Wild Flowers". Miss Cilkey is an authority on this subject. W hile most of us are not making h business of raising wild flowers yet we must remember that the wild flowers are ihe an cestors of our most prized culti vated flowers. The Garden Club cordially invites the public to come and enjoy the lecture. It be gins at eight o'clock. The dispatch from Salem show ing a H per cent increase in non resident automobile registrations is interesting as just another indi cation of the importance of high ways to the life of Oregon. Last year there were 103,008 non-resident permits issued. While every state In the Fnion was represented, 5S per cent of cars registered were from Califor nia. This is natural because Cali fornia is a great state with an im mense number of cars and one great pav ed street runs from southern California to Hi itisk Co lumbla. Hut that is not all of it. The Oregon State " Chamber of Commerce maintuins a branch in foimation and tourist office in Los Angeles. It was only established last May but from that (lute till January 1 it received 7,t"i0 re tiuesis for information, a lare per cent of them being from prospect ive settlers. On the Atlantic coast there is now a similar paved -road 2.4i0 miles long from Calais, Maine, to Key West. Florida. HI mites of Mils is over the ocean from the Florida mainland lo Key West. At that point in another season auto ferries are lo connect with the Cuban C'titral highway which will be 7i'0 miles long and Is two-thirds open at the present time. season pt earners w ill take a cat over to Havana aud back for thir ty dollars. The title through whiih this Atlantic loa.stal Highway pusses have shown what they think il means lo them lu the way of pros perity by the cooperation they have given in buildiuz it. Key We-M spent ?:l .VMi.iMio. .Miami spent $yiMio.Hin on !ie ;Ut-ane boule vard set -non and cleared away thirtv-rhree blocks of sloies and buildings to cive the highway a to tho C'v, Wil- nilngion. North Carolina, spent $1.2.'o,uo0 on bridges for it. Old Norfolk, Virginia, and Portsmouth peiu Ss.uou.uoo on bridges and ferry. If any of thebe tov.us have heu mass meetings to ounose the I project for fear it would increase taxes we have not heard of it. AH my plants and trees are go ing to be labeled this year. People like to know what they are look ing at. Kveryone has a garden or expects to have one sometime, g anu so every garden he sees Is show window or sample room. sort of living seed catalog from which he can pick out the things he would sometime like to have In a garden of his own. Hut it U embarrassing to the beginner, when he is showing off some thine that he takes a good deal of pride in, to have someone ask him the 1 "Oh, that is a I , know perfectly well. It is a well, it is something that Mr. Blank or Mrs. Blank gave me and I can t think of the name.'' Of course 'you can get by with some people who do not know by looking wise and saying, "Oh, yes, that is called "Perennial," double-barreled, grandiflora, very rare, not found In most of the cata logs." liut that kind of au answer is dangerous. The builders of that wonderful amusement resort, Jautzeu Beach, at Portland are alive to changing conditions and they are not rely ing simply on Ferris wheels and scenic railways and bathing beau ties for drawing power, like the Coney Islands of the past, but they are betting their money on the drawing power of beautiful gar dens and flowers and grounds. This month they are planting 2, 000 rose bushes of 150 different kinds just as one feature of their gardens. People who would hardly go to Janlzen Beach to bump the bumps will go to enjoy the gar dens. Once there, of course, there is no telling to what depths they may sink before the temptations of the merry-go-round and the hot dog stand. That is the idea, or at least part of it. But this develop ment is a sigu of the times just the same. In going to and fro In the earth and In walking up and down In it I have observed three things, yea, four the conceit ot the man who boasts that he is self-made, the chesty swagger of the prize fight er, the vain side glances of the man who thinks he Is handsome and the cock-sureness of the man who can absolutely prove that his brand of religion Is the true and only one and all the rest are wrong. Heady, personal pride. They are all offensive. And then 1 buve seen the pride of the sailor in the superb handling of his boat in a storm, hut it is not offensive; and the pride of the gardener, n the miracles he hut wrought. But we forgive the yachtsman and thp gardener for their unblushing and outspoken pride lu their accomp lishments or, rather, there is nothing to forgive. I have had to figure this out to justify myself in being proud of my garden. Of course there Is a reason for It and it Is this: If I am sailing a boat it is not "I" but it is "we", the work ing together of man and wind and sea and boat. It is cooperation. Because he knows how things work, the laws of nature, in other words, man is able to make the most contrary wind carry him where he wants to go. It Is a tri umph, and no man Is prouder than one w ho lias sailed a good race. So It is w ith the gardener. He is finding out more and more how things work so that he can co operate with nature. It is a part nership. It is "we" not "I", and though one of the partners is si lent like the P In Smith it is understood, and It is the garden er's silent partner that really doe3 the work und makes the flowers. So I extract a great deal of com fort from this devious reasoning, and I shall be proud of my garden however bad it may be, with the full confidence that It is not con ceit nor is it neprehensible. We have just got to be proud of our gardens. YOUR INCOME TAX NO. M Bad debts may he deducted from gross income in computing net in come only lor the year in which they are ascertained to be worth less and charged off the hAoks of the taxpayer. The taxpayer should attach to his return a statement showing the property of any deduc tions claimed for bad debts. Where t b e surrounding circumstances show that a debt is worthless and uncollect i hie, and that legal ac tion, in all probability, would not avail, proof of these fads i.s suffi cient of their worihlessness. 1'npaitl loans made lo relatives or friends with little or no expec tation of their return are not de ductible, hut are regarded as gifts. If a debt is forgiven, it can not be claimed. A valid debt proved lo be worth less is not always a proper deduc tion. For example, unpaid amounts representing wages, salaries, or similar items ot taxable income, are not allowed as deductions unless included in the creditor's return for the yenr or in the previous year. The fact that expected income was not received does not decrease the amount of iaable income. ALFRED Wf. SMITH, VETERAN, PASSES Alfred M. .'jrnith. n private in Co. l.
