production, "lhe Birth of a

so mighty, so absorbing that it
makes three hours whirl by like
a few moments and sends the
bewildered spectators stumbling
out of the theatre, struggling
for their bearings and gasping
for very breath.
"The Birth of a Nation" will

covered all the drama of the

Every time it unfolds upon a

of America is re-enacted.

OUT FISHIN'
A feller isn't thinkin mean,
Out fiahin';
His thoughts are mostly good and clean,
Out fishin';
He doesn't knock his fellow men.
Or harbor any grudges then;
A feller's at his finest, when
Out fishin';
The rich are comrades to the poor
Out fishin';
All brothers to the common lure,
Out fishin';
The urchin with a pin and string-
Can chum with millionaire, an' king;
Vain pride is a forgotten thing
Our fishin'.
A feller gets a chanca to dream.
Out fishin";
He learns the beauties of a stream,
Out fishin';
An' he can wash his soul in air
That isn't foul with selfish cars,
An' relish plain and simple fare
Out fishin';
A feller has no time fer hate,
Out fishin';
He isn't eager to be great.
Out fishin';
He isn't thinkin' thoughts of self.
Of goods stacked high upon a shelf,
Bnt he is always just himself,
Out fishin'.
A feller's glad to be a friend,
Out fiahin';
A helpin' hand he'll always lend,
Out fishin';
The brotherhood of rod an' lina
An' sky an' stream is always fine;
Men come real close to God's design,
Out fishin';
A feller isn't plottin' schemes,
Out fishin';
He's only busy with bis dreams.

OVER THE COUNTY
Dallas "Never before in the
history of Polk county has sue
a large area of her farms been
seeded to food producing crops
as is the case this year," say
J. E. Cooler, agricultural expert
"A big harvest this fall seems
assured."
West Salem The Marion
county court has received bids
for the construction of the new
bridge over the river here but
they appear to be unsatisfactory
The present cost of steel is the
reason, and this has led to the
proposal that a wooden structure
be erected which would last
seven or eight years at which
time it is expected that the price
of steel will be normal. It is
not thought, that Polk county
would agree to a wooden struc
ture which only consented to
steal after a game fight was
made for concrete.
AlRLEE "The farmers of this
vicinity are beginning to appre
ciate the benefits to be derived
from the silo and are gradually
installing them on their places,'
according to the correspondent
of the Dallas Observer. Last
week a carload of Indianas
arrived.
Pedee V. J. Love, Johnson

THE PORTLAND WAY
The dispatches yesterday told
of the purchase of the Browns
ville Woolen Mills by Portland
uarties and that they would be
removed to Portland. Thus does
the work of destroying the
smaller towns from which Port
land draws her support go brave
ly on. The goose that lays the
golden eggs for our metropolis
is being slowly starved to death
When she is finally gone, Port
land will wake up to the fact
that her policy is death to Oregon
towns and will eventually be
death to her. It is only by hav
ing a prosperous country around
her that Portland can grow. The
urban population can only be
prosperous with a proper pro
portion of outside population from
which to draw her support and
to take her products. The mill
will not amount to much as an
addition to Portland, but its loss
will be a serious blow to Browns
ville. Salem Capital Journal.

And then, a week after ha was gone,
did you go with his father and his
sister and hia brothers to see him
where ha was encamped with his com
pany? And did you foel proud of your
son when you saw mm in me new

not think him the finest looking soldier
in all the command? And do you re
member how pleased he was when you
gave him the cakes and pies and jellies
you had fixed for him?
Little mother, your boy has answered
the aall of his country in its time of
need, and how proud of him you must
be-pioud to know that your son
flesh of your fiesh was not afraid to
go, and not shirk his duty!
When the greatest trial of all comes
to you, when you stand in front of the
bulletin boards and watch, dry-eyed,
aa the liat of the killed and wonnded is
posted up, you will fetil a thrill of joy
that your boy, your first born, waa not
afraid to go when his country called.
Little mother, it is to you and your
kind that America owes its greatness
today. You have always shown daunt-
ess spirit in time of danger; and have
stood shoulder to shoulder with your
husbands and sons whenever it became
necessary.
In the days of the Indian wars, oven
before the Revolutionary war, yon, or
other little mothers, loaded the rifles
and passed them to your men folks as
they fired through loop holes to drive
back the painted savages.
LitLie mother, throughout the width j

spirit is the spirit in your boys-the
brave soldiers who are gathering to
defend freedom throughout the world
the spirit that knows no defeat, the
Spirit of American sons of American
