The columns re open. Let this j paper be the people's forum. The Wife a Partner. (Farm and Fireside.) The farmer's wife knows more about her husband's business than any other mans wife knows about his. She has a fairer, clearer and more helpful understanding of it than the average lawyer's, doctor's or mer chant's wife can possibly have about her husband's' business, for slA; lives and works with her husband on their 'plant.' The farmer's wife is the farmer's partner in more senses than one. In the majority of cases sne actually operates certain departments of the business. Most wives have gen- nino intorput nnH finmn inf nrmafcinn about their husband's business, but j .the furmer's wife, living with her partner on their plant, occupies a unique position among all wives. With this greater opportunity for helpful ness than her city sisters, her re sponsibilities have increased propor tionately. All honor and respect to her who carries this heavier burden. Need of Good 'Roads. (Lostine Reporter.) A county without good roads will be as compeltcly isolated in a few years as a back woods county without a railroad. Most people travel in auto mobiles now and as the automobiles multiply the railroads will be used for freight traffic almost exclusively. If we ar to have outside travel to V Iowa county we must get busy with a comprehensive good rorils scheme. favorable weather next year. "The Southern Pacific's new rail way from Eugene is already develop ing a great amount of traffic and the people of Coos county are anticipating rapid strides in industrial activities. The next big thing eoniii.g- to that part of southwestern Oregon will be another railway from Roseburg, but I believe it will be a new line from the east through Boise, Idaho, rather than the Oregon Electric line extending from Eugene." Railroad Tracks To Be Laid. (Eugene Register.) A $27,000 authorization for the re laying of seven and a half miles of railroad track and other improvement on the Wendling branch has been re ceived by F. W. Schultz, Southern Pa cific roadmastor in charge of the main line and branches in the Portland di vision with headquarters in this city.

They tell this story of him: "And they bi ought young children to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. "But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Stiffen- the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of God. "Verily I say unto you, who ; soever shall not receive the king dom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. "And He took them up in His 1 arms, put his hands upon them, ' and blessed them." This is a picture worth rcnieinher-Jng. And n lesson, too. Be gentle with the little children. Suffer, them to come unto you. Cher- ' Ish them and tench them. Play with them, and" notice how your heart keeps young and how they rub the wrinkles away. Advertising Doesn't Raise Prices. j(I!c"l.eit Kaufman in Trie Oregonian) i Time detects all untruths and has j just exposed another one. Manufac- turers of unbranded articles have all along insisted that advertising in creases the cost of merchandise. Now we know that this threadbare argu ment is as false as the average sub stitute. If it were valid, we'd see advances in a thousand staples. But on the .contrary, about the only r.i Li'.les which aie still being sold oi 1'ieir i usual basis are the packaged and canned necessities with which we are most familiar. Makers who can count upon a ; steady demand for their goods can af ' ford to ask the same for them all the 1 time, or lather can't afford the great er expense of a sufficiently reaching campaign to explain why they must get mor-3 for their products. The fixed price plan works two ways and just now it s working very mucn to our advantage. The Worm Wilted. "William!" she shouted .in a .voice, fit to command ,-a rregiment, "!take your feet off the table this very in stant!" "Margaret, I want.you tojtnow," j he said in a voice that was sur charged with manly determination, "that there is but one person in the world that I will allow to talk to me in that way." With an irate mien she arose, and looked into his eyes. "And who is that, sir, may I ask?" she thun dered. "Why you, my dear," he gently answered cs he removed his feet fiom the table. The Wasp.

After descending the woods and the wild animals that flourished therein, j sne anueu: "Suddenly Red Ridding Hood heard a great noise. She turned about, and what do you suppose she saw standing there, gazing at her and showing all its sharp, white teeth?" 'Teddy Roosevelt!" volunteered one of the boys. The Spectator. A Long Hunt.

The intellect has its sympathies as well as the heart, and no one ever re gretted the indulgence of them. Lan dor. When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, we must try charity, which is love in action. We must speculate no more on our duty, but s.mply do it. When we have done it, however blind ly, perhaps Heaven will show us why. i.nnan Muiocn tjraik. li.n .1 . ... n ueiiever me tempest drives me, mere u aome as a guest. Uicero. emembef!
