S. army said: 'My boy, after you have whipped the Ger mans,stop off in Mecklenburg (Germany) and look up the folks." Here was a man whose father, mother, sisters and brothers all lived in Germany. There was a time most probably, as between Ger many and England, he hoped and pra) ed for the Germans to win; but when his own country en tered the fray his sympathies no longer were with the home of his people and he cheerfully sends forth his son to fight perhaps his own flesh and blood. This is a crisis that thousands of Germans in tnis country naa to meet ana in most ail cases they met it loyally and unflinchingly. They carry two burdens in this war; the one common to al and the other a feeling of pity for their kin across the seas who by circumstances are obliged to be the tools and slaves of a blood-thirsty tyrant. It should give them some relief to realize that America has no quarrel with the German people (our president has so said) and this war will be the means of freeing the Germans in Germany from the yoke of oppression.

The energizingimpulse neccessary to accomplish, the resultant activity is not sufficiently accelerated to destroy the molecular cohesion of its atomic constitu ents. Its syncronizatiou is promulgated by the dissemination of actinic rays, and the nocturnal and diurnal deflections are equalized by contraction and expansion." Woodburn has two mysteries now whereas it had one before. What makes the clock go and what the scientist says makes the clock go Thejbridge over the Willamette at Salem, once condemned as being unsafe for traffic, has been repaired and is now in use again. Under the cir cumstances, the evidence is plain that somebody lias, ueen piaying expensive tricks on tne poor taxpayer. It it was possible to repair the old bridge this year and use it, why wasn't it possible to do the same thing last year and save all the expense and inconvenience of maintaining ferry? Then again if the old bridge conld be re paired and used, why was it not done and the letting of a contract for a new bridge postponed until such a time when prices on bridge materials would be lower so a big saving in cost could be made? Verily, 'tis a conundrum that we do not attempt to solve. ft f t---11.i luayoe auer an, tne many games at the recent state fair were of educational value.

Railway tickets are the same alze all over Britain and the continent and America via., two and one-quarter Inches nnd have been so for the last 60 years. This surely Indicates a world wide tendency to standardize. Every builder's ladder Is built to scale, and the fireman's ladder Is on the scale of the seaman's run up the ratlines, not the bricklayer's trudge up the wooden rungs. But perhaps the greatest triumph of standardizing Is that of the circus. London Tlt-Blts Hays : There are big and little circuses In the world, but the ring Is always of the same diameter, for the bare back rider has discovered the exact angle at which he can square the cir cle. No matter whether It be a ring cut In the turf or a luxuriously ap pointed theater, the circus ring never varies a foot. Natural Liberty.
