s-. , BEING CHEERFUL.
The optimist tells us that life is
what he make it ' Christian Science
teaches as that it is possible t culti
vate cheerfulness by will power.
Both are right. The eternal grouch
always finds something to complain
about. The person with a sunny dis
position, either natural or acquired,
never has any difficulty in radiating
sunshine, even on the darkest day.
The optimist has a,, cheerful crowd
round him; the pressimist is sur
rounded by chronic dyspeptics.

above the average in intelligence,
jutt a little more prosperous then
their neighbors, and just a little more
efficient in their work. ' '
The habit of smiling isn't harder to
form than the habit of grouching;
and think how jnuch pleasanter it is
for others. What we have learned
in recent years about philosophy
brings into play; new laws to -regulate
The mayor of an eastern city re- human conduct not necessarily sta-
cently put into effect an order re-tute laws,, but scientific laws, social
should salute and smile. Possibly it
in requiring too much of a man In
one's employ or in the employ of a
municipality to force him to Smile,
yet it is done in a manner more' in
direct than that of the eastern mayor
by the heads of many large commer
cial institutions. The difference in
methods is merely that they will not
hire a grouch, nor will they keep one.
It is not usual to make this the spe
cific charge that is sealed In the blue
envelope, for it is hardly necessary.
Too many reasons can be found for
dissatisfaction with the work of a
grouch. . ' '. '
Some say that the mayor's order
will accomplish little; that it IS to
off-cious, but it rests on the right
philosophy. Look into a crowd and

The association has also purchased
lire lighting equipment1 suitable to be
carried by a pack horse, and a com
plete outfit of this kind is to be put
m every outlook station. The kits
which are to be placed in lookout
stations are composed of articles con
structed with a view of reducing their
bulk, and some of the most necessary
:ools of such shape and nature that
they can readily be '"toted" on a pack
horse at all times, and more elaborate
tools will be kept in the station at all
times to be used when big fires break
out in that vicinity.
State Is Co-operating.
The belief is said to exist in timber
districts, that the state charges a flat
rate of five cents per acre for all
timber that it. patrols when the tim
ber owner is not a member of local
flic prevention associations. This is
not the fact in the case for the state
charges or.i such fees as wI! cover

To All Owners of Dogs.
Ordinance No. 724 requires all dogs
running upon the streets and alles
of the city of La Gninde, Ore., to be
muzzled. Owing to several cases of
rabbies this will be strictly enforced.
Farmers and owners, generally will
keep their dogs at home, have them
in leash or muzzle them. All dogs
found running at large on the streets
or alleys of La Grande on or after
June 15 will be killed forthwith in
accordance with said ordinance.
