And the Leon the Small Investor Needs to Learn, Tho advice of one of the largo banks I of tlie country is that every one should j Invest bis surplus, whether lur:e or small, in dividend securities of tbu best class, whether rollioud, real eaiate or ! farm mortgages or public utilities, for I -To keep money Idle is a costly oper ation." Let every reader of this article re I member that with ns little as 15 or $10 I he can inuke Orst payment on the pur ! chase of a first class $100 bond. Let : everv reader who has a few hundred dollars to spare put It in a good $500 or $1,000 bond on the partial payment plan, and let it earn something. Five hundred dollars Invested in a 6 per cent bond (with the income deposited in a savings bank at 4 per cent) will double itself In twelve years that is, the $o00 will have become $1,000 in that time. This $1,000 at 6 per cent will earn $)0 a year or over $1 a week for its possessor. Even at 5 per cent it will double In fifteen years and at 4 per cent in eighteen years. The lesson the small Investor wants to learn Is Ibat his money is just as good as that of the larger investor. The foruu-0 has greater need of being careful because he has less to spare. Learn to be a careful Inveslor. The first thing the careful buyer does if be wants to buy a horse, a cow, a house or a farm, a bond or a share of stock is to make a careful investigation. Schoolboys may swap the Jackknlves they hold In their closed hands, but grownup men ought to know better. Tho humblest Investor can buy with as great safely as the proudest, for both can deal with the same bankers of brokers In these days when small lots are popular with firms of established character.

North Bend Paper is Closed ' Marshfield, IJpb. 7. Seven months after the Pacific Coast Daily Tide started business in North Bend the constable placed an attachment on the door of the office and put the key in hist pocket. Action was brought by the Wiestern Union Tele graph company against the paper for the collection of about $170 claimed to be due for transmitting tele graphic news. B. B.

The plant is covered by a chattel mortgage. Loading Lumber is Slow Work BIRD ROOSTS. Safety First as It Is Practiced by the Feathered Tribes. One of the best ways to prepare for n long journey is to make a short one. So we find that many birds, before they embark on their great air voyage which is to take them from their sum mer to their wlnler home, first make dally trips between their sleeping quar ters and their feeding grounds. This is the habit of our robin. Rob ins raise two nnd sometimes three fam illes In one season. When thd first family leaves tho nest curly In .Time It. is taken by tho father robin to some dense, leafy growth of young trees to pass the night. To this place they re turn every night. Many other robins, sometimes thousands of them, como to tho same woods. Such resorts are known as robin roosts. In (lying to and from thorn tho young birds lenrn how ta find their way. Meanwhile mother robin Is patiently sllllnrr on her blue oggs, from which in about, tv.n weeks" rii:;e another little family will appear. In two weeks more they also will bo large enough to leave the nest and can j!n their broth ers and sisters in tho roust. (Jrackles, or crow blackbirds, have the same hnhit. But since they have only one family or brood both the par ent birds go to the roost with their young. Sometimes tho robins arc Joined by the griK-kles and both by the European starlings, which, brought to this coun try and released in Central park, New York, In 18110, have since becomo one of the most abundant birds iu our mid. die Atlantic states. Such a roost Is visited nightly by many thousands of birds. Frank M. Chapman In St. Nicholas. St. Helens, Or. Feb. 7. The steam er Celilo, owing to weather conditions will remain in the Columbia river this time longer than on . any trip since she was built and began oper ating between California and the River. The snow and ice make the loading of the vessel very difficult and she is only half loaded thou eh she has been working cargo for the past three days. Ordinarily it takes tnree days to load her cargo of 1,000 000 feet of lumber. Hungarian Faces. I have never seen such interesting photographer's show windows as there are in Budapest. Partly this is because the photographers are good, but partly it must lie In the Hungarians them selves such vivid, interesting, uncon ventional faces. These people look as if they ought to do the acUug and write the music and novels and plays and paint the pictures for all the rest of the world. If they haven't done so It must be because, .along with their natural talent, they have this indolence and tendency to Hop and not push things through. Arthur Ruhe In Col lier's Weekly. JU'K.
