The
. Where Aborigines Linger
A popular writer who has .been visiting: certain of the
islands of the South Seas and other parts of the world
favored by novelists for stories of romance and adventure
assures us that he found civilization well advanced in all
of these places. His" disillusionment apparently is com
plete, and the effect that it has on us is to convey the idea
that there are really no wild places left in the earth wheiv
the aborigines, reign supreme and thrilling happenings are
of cooimon occurrence. It is' interesting to learn that this
is a fnistake-that there still exists one region on which
the vjhitc man's civilization has yet made little impression.
T$e existence of the place is directed to our attention
in a fable dispatch from Melbourne, Australia. It has just
come' to light that the crew and passengers of a steamer
which sank near an island off the- north coast of Australia
about a year ago, did not go down with her, as had l-en
UDDosed. but were sm-ared to death hv the nativos. Unit " " 1 M n"" ' c- "r

v OldestIn What?
The wisdom of age has been an axiom. Nil .as a mat
ter pf fact how do you measure age?
. If you are seeking Die oldest man in Eastern Oregon,
you pivbably mean that you are trying to locate the man
Who can register the most years, and yet it might lie worth
while ,if those who are always looking for the oldest man
or woman would give a little thought to what it means
when sthey find such an individual.
Merely as an object of interest the oldest inhabitant
deserves no moi-e comment than the tallest man, the sting
iest woman or the most mischievous boy. These are traits
oi' chanictejists which bring little credit to him or to the
community.
ltjis fullness of life we want; not mere length. For
tunate indeed is he whose years cover a long span of life:
but njore fortunate stiir is he who can iake these yeai-s
count; for something: in service to his fellowmen. Ve do
not begrudge the oldest inhabitant the years he has accum
ulated. But the individuals who seek to enlist our interest
in him could more easily gel it. if we could feel that they
were hot unmindful of the words of the ioet :
"We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
iiv leeungs. noi in ligures on a dial."

WORSHIP
rplllv Chinese pray to their ancestoi-s. Dut they 1
more than that. They allow themselves to lie guided
by family tradition in their every thought and action.
The principal difficulty facing the introduction of mod
ern improvements into China is the universal objection:
"This is not as our fathers did."
i
Imagine saying that we did not want electricity lie
cause our 'forefathers were satisfied with candles.
Though we never went as far as the Chinese, our con
servatism in the past often went to considerable lengths.
Think of the telephone, of the motor car. How much
encouragement did they get at first?
Advertising mere than anything else has made of us
a nation willing to judge something new on its merits,
rather than on narrow, ancient traditions.
Advertising-. today is an necessary as electricity, sani
tation ami rapid transit. It is more than the system by
which we are kept informed of every new improvement
that is to our advantage. It is the catalog wherein,
every day, all manner of articles are listed for us with
their individual advantages,
Kead the advertisements. De guided by them. They
will help you in making your selections. They will save
you money.
