J. Opden Armour says: "Almost
everyone you meet 1ms something lm
portunt to teach you, tell you, or
show you, if you know how to ask
intelligent questions, and it you are
genuinely. Interested In learning.
Then, he must be a THINKER
and must think hard. Many people
never put a load on their brains, aud
their brains, like an unattached lo
comotive, always run "light. Un.
less a man revolves In his mind what
he learns and observe, he never gets
any' use from it. He must make de
ductions.
"Finally he must be i DOER. Sotae
people are long on thinking but short
on doing. They are the dreamers.
But Experience Is, aftr all, tne great
est of all teachers. When you have
the courage to tackle the difficult
things which test your ability, then
you are down to the business of,
growing In ail its fine points.
The bumps you will get, the dis
couragements you win 'encounter.
and even the mistakes you will make
in being zealous In your doings, will
be among the best parte of ynur eo-
ucatlon.
Success and rewards always come
to the person who continues to grow
but the greatest reward consists in
having found the secret that makes
life continuously interesting."
The Fourth is almost here and
with it comes the big celebration
The visitors who will come to St
Helens expect big things of St. Helens
and St. Helens must not disappoint
them. Portland did wonders for the
Shrine visitors and they left with a
mighty good Impression of Portland.
St. Helens can show the same hos
pitality and our visitors will leave
with equally as good tn Impression,
even though our celebration is on a
smaller Bcale. This, however, does
not and should not make bounds for
our hospitality and cordial treatment
of our visitors.
President Wilson has vetoed a bill
passed by Congress because :t con
tained faulty grammer. The admin
istration's grammar department Is
the only one tint has not broker
down; it has always woiked overtime.

beginning was related by him:
"Life was one long comedy to me
In the early days." he tells. "I want

reasonable start, and my family
watched my attempts with mingled
emotion. I remcmbei wy first ap

speak my lines, my mind was blank.
That didn't bother me at all. I start

and Ethel steered ,u through the

SOME GOOD FARM RKMJ.VOKRS
Seasonal HuKKentkins on Thing!) Often
Overlooked, by State College.
Poultry: Take the rooster away
from the summer laying flock. He Is
no help to heavy or continued laying,
but Is a great bother. The hens will
lay at least as well without him, and
the eggs will keep longer, either
packed or marketed fresh.
Dairy: Green feed is essential to
heavy protracted, economical milk
flow, and the Bilo Is essential to a
year-round green feed supply at min
imum cost. A big silo boom is on In
many parts of Oregon, aud progres
sive successful farmers are building
silos.
Poultry: Green feed for laying hens
and little chicks is a dally need. If
cut into short bits less Is wasted
Any green such as grass, lawn clip
pings, garden remnants, and palatable
weeds, Is good. Feed on clean ground
or on boards.
Club Work: Calf club member in
the Smith river district of 'Douglas
county have bought seven registered
Jersey heifer calves, which they will
put on official test. They will use
the calves In he calf-raising project.
The boys were assisted financially
by the Reedsport National Bank,
which took personal notes for three
years. The college dairy specialists
helped them pick their Jerseys.
Sous: First irrigation of potatoes
should be made when the plants be
gin to bloom. This allows them time
to take deep root. Darkening oi
the leaves Is an Indication that wa
ter Is needed.
In five educational elements lu
volved in a comparative'study recent
ly made, Oregon ranks second umong
all .the states of the union, accord
ing to a report received at the office
of J. A. Churchill, state superlnten-,
dent of schools, from the Russell
Sage Foundation.
The financial rank of Oregon
schools, however, cuts down Hit
state's rank, since In that respect it
stands only In 26th place, and lirliiKS
the general rank of the Btate down
to 19th place.
By the adoption of the 2 mill tux
measure for the, support of elemen
tary schools, Mr Churchill believe
Impi'ovoment will be so great that
on the lamo basis or ranking Oregon
will be almost in first place Th
report shows that In the 28 year
from 1890 to 1918 Oregon gullied
10 places in relative standing rmortg
the states.
In determining the standing of the
stntes, 10 education factors were
used. Oregon's figures for 1918 fol
low: 1. Per cent of children of school
age attending. 8.
2. Days attended by erc.li child of
school age, 2.
3. Days schools ware kept open. 5.
4. Proportion of children In high
school, 11. '
5. Per cent of boys to girls in high
school, 24.
6. Expenditure per child attend
ing, 23.
7. Expenditure per child of school
age, 18.
8. Expenditure pe- teacher em

The Truth
Longfellow could take a worthless piece of paper
and write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000.
That's Genius.
1 here re men who can write a few words on a pi
of paper and make it worth a million dollars. That's
Wealth.
A mechanic can Uike material worth $5.00 and make
it into watch springs worth one thousand dollars.
That's Skill.
A merchant can take an article costing seventy-five
cents and sell it for one dollar. That's Business..
.You can get a sack of tobacco for 10 cents. That's
Bull.
The author of this could write a check for $1,000,000,
but it wouldn't be worth a cent. That's Tough.
