" HubHeriplIon nates Piilly, per year, by niall $4.0e Daily, single month, by mall .50 Daily, by carrier, per month . . .&J The New Year Is Here VI2STEKDAY we tore the lnHt yellowed leaf from the old 1J30 calendar. Now before us In all its radiant newness Is the sheaf oj leaves smeared with figures de noting the months, the weeks and tie days of 1931. What will they , bring? I We know now and perhaps even trio well what 1930 brought. And still, we are alive and most of ub llfere on the west coast of these United StateB ot America are rea sonably comfortable and happy. ;a pessimist Is of no earthly use tj anybody his is a disease often contagious. There is a story that goes some thing like this: A vory much dis couraged and pessimistic travelling salesman stood on the railing of a bridge about ready to Jump over board, a suicide. Defore the fa tal leap was made a passing po liceman accosted the man, asking him to wait and talk things over. They talked for a time and then went (or a walk around tho block. When they returned to the bridge, sjd the story goes, thoy both climb ed on top of the railing and Jump ed into the river. We are told there is a world- $lde business depression but it will end. A wise old tanner was ajsked by an Impatient one: "Oh, will this rain never stop?" The reply was, "Well, it always has." y If you are preparing a set of re solutions Inscribe this little bit ol advice In the back of the book someplace: It you own something and-do not absolutely have to sell it keep it If you have In mind buying something buy it. The same truth applies in either oase, prices will seldom ever be lower tjhan now. i The man who waits and trios ti wait for the absolute peak Is nearly always wrong, y"; ,s ', However, a now year begins today. ' The page is turned, the last teat of the old calendar thrown away. Let's brush the cobwebs out of our thinking apparatus and ill down to face facts and figure the coming year ou.. Hysteria, gloom talk, pessimism will cause no wheels to turn. If we will put both feet on the ground, keep our ohln up and begin 1931 with faith mid courage in our hearts, it will not be such a bad new year. Oregon Editors' Opinions (Reedaport Courier!

There is no substitute for individual industry. (Coos Bay Times) A news dispatch from Washing-1 ton tells us that 25 Washington cities are seeking the two million I dollar soldiers' home provided by congressional action tor the north west. Oregon's best bet for this home is Rosehurg. The race is to the strong and the swift. Roseburg has no Inside track for this great construction. IP SHE GETS IT, SHE WILL GUT IT THROUGH CONCERTED AC TION ON THE PART OK THE STATE OP OREGON AND THE SUPPORT OF THOSE TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES IMMED IATELY IN HER DISTRICT. AND ROSEBURG IS ENTITLED TO THIS 8UPPPORT. It Is Washington versus Oregon before congress over this Issue. If Roseburg gets the home, it will be because Oregon has brought more united influence to bear; and it she loses it will be because Coos Bay, Southwestern Oregon, South ern Oregon, Grants Pass, Medford, Eugene, and other Oregon cities and districts have permitted Wash ington cities and districts to out general thffm. If Oregon cities and districts would rally to Rosehurg stroncly enough to WIN THIS SOLDIERS HOME, it would be far more than a 12.000.000 victory: It would mean I the development of state unity and harmony that must come beforo Oregon Is In the race with Wash ington and California.

COPELAND WHAT does the New Year day mean to you? Is It a day of regrets, or one ot hopeful outlook? What is your at titude toward the coming year? It Is the ambition, the Imagina tion, the foresight of man that makes hlra different from the low er animals. He can plan, and. hav ing planned, cau make his dream come true. It is natural tor one to trans late life into torms of health. I do this because long experience has taught me that, in comparison, nothing else counts. One of the comforting facts of today is that the horrid concoc tlns, medicines and local applica tions oT other days have been thrown into the rubbish heap. They have been discarded hy all think ing persons. They did very well In the Unorunt past, hut in lilUl we are more enlightened. Right living Is known now to be more Important thnn all tho pre scriptions that can he written. Dis ease and death aro defeated by preserving the body, rather than by "curing" it. or repairing it. There will never come a time when the tiuully physician, and the specialists, too. will not he needed. But more and more, their task will he to keop us well, not to get us well. By their timely ad vice we shall he turned away from practices that result In harm. Early ntlenllon will help them to help us. They are consultants whose services should not be neglected. In this capacity ibey are really as essential for mankind as they were thought to bo when vile com pounds and massive dosing were popular. We should thank Almighty (lod that we live In 111.11, not 1S.11. 17:11. or any olher '81. This is a wonderful age. It has iglven us scientific knowledge of remedial agents, murvelous instruments of precision, undrcmed of manual skill, and mechanical and electri cal devices, which mean everything lo our physical welfare, it has set our minds at rest, clearing them ot supcrsltltlous, traditions and Billy beliefs. 1 On the health side of lite, there never was another time when a year could bo faced with greater confidence.

"Every prospect pleases and only man Is vile," sang the Bishop of Calcutta. The year 1931 is part of a period where man is widening his knowledge, living more sensi bly, and no longer does he deserve to be reviled. - Let us do our full part this year to live up to the new health knowledge.

Advice to Girls By NANCY LEE DEAR NANCY LEE: About three monthB ago I met a young man one year older than I, whose friendship 1 refused b. cause 1 have planned to have a career. I realize now that I cared more for him than I pretended and 1 have been told that he thought a lot of me, but when he became so serious the first time 1 went with him, it frightened me so 1 wouldn't go again. He. came back several times and the last titnt he aoted as if he were angry sc I didn't even talk to him aud hi went back to his home several hundred miles from here. Do you think that he might come back tc see me again some duy? Hi seemed to he a perfect gentleman I'm afraid he thought I was just flirting. Do you think he couli: toll ? When he found that 1 didn't ap prove ot petting he Beemed to have respect for me and he didn'i kiss me. Thank you, BABE. BABE: As the young man It aware of your stand you take on the question of petting. I di not think that he is of the opinion that you wore merely flirting wlih him. Why not sit down and writt him a nice friendly letter, telling him that although It may not have been obvious to him, you have al ways enjoyed his visits to youi town. If he cares for you as mucli as he claimed to at first, he should be very glad of your letter and it should be sufficient to start a resumption of your friendship. DEAR NANCY LEE: 1 have been thinking about a few questions: 1. Is It the proper Ihlng for a girl of 16. in a small cily of lu.UUI people, lo make her debut ? 2. If so, what should a girl friend of hers wear? 3. What Is tho usual entertain ment at such a thing? Hoping, PATS. PATS: The debut, In tho usual sense of Ihe word. Is a cuslom adhered to only by members of so clely In large mel ropolllau t-enlers. where the debut usually lakes the form of a magnificent hall, unit costs a small fortune. Hut. if you feel that you would like lo be for tnally launched Into your world ot friends and acquoininnces why noi give a nice lea party, cither at your home or at a hotel? Or. per haps, your parents and the parents of some friends could arrange a supper-dance for you ami youi friends, for very often ihe parents of society "buds" Join forces lo arrange such tin affair. i" the choice of clolhes, dial must, lie cessarlly. depend upon Ihe form of enterislnmeui.

WOOD After the fight with Indians at Battle Rock, just off the shore line at Port Orford la 1851, at which time the pioneers took refuge on that now Historic o 1 d monument that rises abrupt ly out of tue uuu. Cyrus Hcddou. one of the party, spent consider able time explor ing the country. He later Joined a surveying party and went Into tin 6 'f Interior w h e i t ? they were n o t lone in eelliliL ,ost in the great toresis auu moun lulus of whul now constitute, odii ot me great timbered areas of Dougius uud Coos counties. Tne .neu wandered around, according to a story told by John Heddeu, jon ot Cyrus liedden, the fornwr oeing u resident of Scutisburg, tid al tiiey finally stumbled onto .leadwutef ot the Coquille river. 1'hey followed the course of the Jlreum th.ough the gorges and aloug sleep mountain sides until tney came to quiet water, finally iecurlng a couple of dugouts in vhleh Ihey embarked. Discovering a group of lndiuus fishing alou jhore after quite a trip down .treiini, the surveyors concluded to land and scrape acquaintance witn the purty of fishermen. Cyrua rtedden's experience witn Indians led him to urge caution, and he ad vised against the scheme ot mak ing a lauding. His sugestion was .tot given serious consideration, .ind tlie canoes were headed to ward shore, the whole party land ing near the Indians, and no soon r bad this been done when the ravages started a fight, and things ot to a white heat In a lew .iiiiiutrs. Outclassed by the whito man s firearms, Ihe lndlaus soon look to the brush, leaving the sur veyors in possession of the field, but with a wholesome respect for Mr. Hedden's knowledge of the na tives' method of warfare. It was only a short time after this experience that Cyrus HeddoB came to the lower Lmpqua rivei section and located at where Scottsbuig sprung into existence the chief cily in southern Ore gun. This was in 18S2, and the young pioneer, then 3 years ot .ige, ucgan Ins mercantile career, twenty miles up river, opposite .vhere Elkton now is, the Hudson day compnuy had established a trading post In 1X32. This was the first white sellleinent ill the great empire country that In later years A-as acclaimed the t'mpqutt basin. This traders' post was In charge of 'John liarvin, a French Cnnuiliuii, and was operated for twenty years or more, the principal business be ing purchase ot furs from Indians aud white trappers, and supplying (hose men nnu what few tainilies there were with groceries, fire arms, whiskey und tobacco. These products were exchanged for furs. and a thriving trade was enjoyed by the Hudson Buy company for all that lime. With the opening of Cyrus Hedden's store at Scotts tHirg, which was al tide water, and 20 miles nearer the coast, both In dians and ttap"ers round It de sirable to I rude there, lu addition, the place immediately began tak ing on the Importance of a point of dial lihut ion for all the Inland coun try. Including that territory now comprising Lane. iHiuglas. Jose phine and Jackson counties, and northern Caliloitiia as far south as Vreka. The Hedden store has been con tinuously operated ever since It was established and is conceded by all authorities to be the oldest mercantile establishment In ire- gon. Cyrus Hedden. ihe founder of. this business, was bom in l2u, i lled lu Sconsburg fiom the llmei he settled there in ls:2 until his death In 1911 al the act- of 91 John Hedden was associated with his father in Die business lor many years, and still serves tho people of the lower river section, the store of today occupyiug practically the same spot test It did when the 1 GM Unafraid :& CHAPTER XL. i ' It was as though her thought summoned him. A rattle at the front door and there was a florist boy with a large square box. Even before she lifted the cover Ardeth knew it came from Ken. Large double white violets. A fragrant mass, crisp and sweet and somehow smelling of the brown wet earth. No word with them. She needed no word. When Tom came to drive her out to Mary's she was waiting for him with her wraps on, and there was a bunch ot white violets pinned to her coat collar. Tom's watchful eyes saw that Bhe had heen crying. It was a quiet drive Out to Mary's. Impossible to be sad at Mary's house, a cheerful glow of candle light and holly. With Fred, tall and grinning behind his new pipe.. With the Chickadee ecstatically i embracing everyone's knees and incoherent with deligh'. I "If the child basn t become an ' Idiot through sheer excitement I'll . be thankful!" Mary explained as she carried Ardeth away to the ; bedroom to lay off her wraps. "She was too little to get the idea of Christmas last year, but I think it will take her until Easter to re cover " So Mary chattered and all the time her eyes were regarding Ardjilh with a queer uncertain look as the girl stood before the mirror. Ardeth was altogether lovely today in a maroon crepe, which flung her tender throat and face into warm relief and made a flame ot her tawny hair. A long string of carved ivory beads and the white violets added the necessary contrast. Mary spoke the words having an odd reluctance, as though they were dragged from her against her will. "Ardeth did you know that Ken and Ceclle have separated?" Eyes suddenly large and dark In a white face Ardeth turned to face her. "Why why no. Are you sure?" "Cecile's mother told Mrs. Hawk Ins. They're thicker than thieves, you know. Ever since that Spy thine: came out Ceclle s been a demon." Ardeth's hand had crept up to her throat, frantically twisting ivory hearts, "It was just a couple of days ago," Mary went on. Then, bit terly, "Much good It will do. Not for Ken nor you oh, my dear child, don't look so!" With a soft rush she rose, took the girl in her arms. "I told you. Ardeth. so you wouldn't hear It from someone else and be startled. But It means nothing, darling. She won't give him up legally. She's too selfish, too spiteful. She has him in a cul-de.sao, Ardeth." Mary felt the slender body trembling, Ardeth's voice came hoarsoly "Where where is Ken now?" - "I don't know. At a hotel, 1 suppose. From what Mrs. Parker told Phil's mother, the break is final." Mary lifted her head sharply as new voices filtered into the bedroom. "The Ames have come. I must go. Pull yourself together, Ardeth child, and come out and join us." When she was gone, Ardeth moved to the window. Ken had lert Ceclle. . . . what did that mean? Mary was right Ceclle would never give Ken his legal freedom. Things were un changed for herself. Rain driving into a gray world. Where was Ken on this rainy Christmas? He would not be with friends she knew his sensitive nature too well for that. Alone and unhappy on Christmas. A hotel room dinner alone. The slrl had drooped against the window frame, unshed tears rising In her, throat. Gray rain lashing outside, and In her heart a little hopeless prayer. Carolyn Foraythe was giving a New Year's eve party. When Tom mentioned II tak ing It for granted that she was going with him, Ardeth had hesi tated. Unfair, to give Tom all her spare time . . ran her thoughts Unkind to lead him on In this manner. Tom's lips had a wry- little twist. "Don't be afraid, Ardeth. this Isn't leading up to another proposal. I guess the silent part nership of the shop is the best I can hope for." Ardeth tried to grin In reply, but It was not wholly a success. "Now, Tom .... you would have to make me feel bad! Oh. my dear I wish things were different. I'd like to make you happy you know- that, don't you?" He patted the kind little hand which had gone to his arm, a pat supposed to he reassuring and very brotherly. "You good little kid then you're coming. I'll tell Caro lyn." The Forsythe home, standing In the midst of Its dark gardens was In a festive glow that nlghl. It had lost Its usual air of bright primness for the time being under the red and green of holiday .leco rations. Just as Carolyn had lost her bright primness and became a rosy and slightly anxious hostess. .Looking at her rosy face anil plump body. Ardeth thought of Pickens' creation, pretty Dot Peerybinttle. The French doors were fluns; open between the large rooms. A five-piece dance orchestra played at one end of the long space. Ser pentine and confetti made an tin usual splotch ot color against (he dignified background. Ardeth was slender and lovely In cream lace and she spoke with a vivid gayety which gave no hint ot her own serious thoughts. New Year's eve the brink of anoth er vear. What could It hold for her? She woudered somberly. Was nloiieer Indian flirhtffr and nt. plorer put up that first building ' aeariy eigniy years ago. it empty and grudging like the one which was slipping away tonight? What did it hold for Kenf The hours became milestones to laugh and dance away. Her face was a mask to hide her feelings. She slipped Into the bedroom, os tensibly to powder her face really to relax from her forced vivacity. A relief to be alone in the shaded light She went to the open window and drew breaths ot the fresh, sweet air blowing in trom tne garden. The voices of two men startled her as they paused in the hall for a smoke. They were discussing the stock market. At first she listen ed apathetically, barely noting the meaning ol tne words. "A lot of fellows we know got caught in that jam when Consoli dated Rubber dropped. Glad it caught me with only a few shares and those I'd bought outright. I hear that Lane dropped quite a sum on that stock. And Gieason. too. Caught him bad. He lost all be put in and a lot more, "it the damn fools will buy on margin, what do they expect?" came the second impatient voice. "I won t touch a thing that isn't bought outright. But Gleason'B been plunging for quite a while now." "Yes, and between ourselves Ken can't afford to hxe," went on the first voice. "I saw him late today. He looks like the devil. I mink he's on the skids, if you ask me. Darned nice fellow, too. . . . " The two men moved on, the smoke of their cigars lingering in the hall after them. Like, a "couple of voices off stage," thought the girl who lis tened in the bedroom. A couple of voices which started the p.ot rolling. Out of the mirror the conscious ness of her own. white face grew upon her. In the depths of the shadowy eyes a sudden resolve growing. She was running through the garden clutching her coat collar about her throat, high heels turning uncertainly under her. Late blooming roses and clamp earth black, star-encrusted sky. She was stealing down red brick stairs leadinir to r hnk street and thprn u-na an nmnlv tavl ..ntlalno. I toward her. She hailed it, giving the number ot the building where Ken had his office. Dark blocks reeled off beneath the taxi wheels while the girl sat tense on the edge of the seat, her eyes staring with strange fixity. The taxi slowed. Almost stop ped. Crept through traffic. A city gone mad wilh merriment. A sea of faces flashing by the windows. Men's faceV. Women's faces. Dis torted with laughter. A steadily in creasing roar surging like the wash of tlie sea. Confetti dashed at the window. Horns thrust against the glass. Screamed greetings. (To Be.

The opinion that short selling on grain exchanges ultimately will be elim inated was expressed today by Chairman Legge of the farm board. In response to questions, the chairman made clear be favored a restriction of short selling rather, than lta prohibition. He expressed '. doubt, however, that short sales 1 could ever be restricted, and said, if that proved to be the case be would have to go further and favor inetr elimination. Trading on a basis of eliminated short selling, he said, would prob- , ably result In the trading of about four times the actual grain that is handled instead of the trading ot '. twenty times the actual grain uh-1 , der short selling methods. The trading of from three to four times the actual grain, the , chairman said, would be done by the elevators, the miller, and ware houseman, who with others want legitimate hedges on their wheat. The chairman's statement was made in reply to questions on a statement in Chicago yesterday by Peter B. Carey, a vice-president of the Chicago board of trade who said further federal restrictions on trading might cause the exchange to close. Legge said he did not believe Carey's statement "represented any well considered policy or pro gram of the board."
