TRAITORS ARE FOUND OUT.
That your sins will find yon out
never was better illustrated than in
the news story which told of the in
dieting of seven of those who held
positions of trust during the war
and used those positions of influ
ence to feather their nests. No
crime of the war was more repre
hensible than that of stealing n
profit while the boys in olive drab
were making the supremo sacrifice
over there. Those unpatriotic ones
who used positions of trust as the
means of betraying tlicir country
and of betraying those who were
offering their lives to make safe
the lives of those who were exact
ing unfair war profits never will
be sufficiently punished upon this
earth. The bun was n gentleman—a

Bring That Loose
Lens in Here
and have it tightened before it
results in injury to your eye
sight for in many cases a loose
lens is an important matter.
This matter of loose lenses is
given little attention. In many
forms of defective eyesight it
is most essential that the lenses
shall always lie in exactly cor
rect adjustment, and in those
cases a lens that has become
loose is not only a nuisance
but a source of actual danger.
Tightening a loose lens is
usually a matter of a little ad
justment, and we are glad to

The Oregonian’s annual New Year
edition wus an encyclopedia ot in
formation for those interested in
any phase of life in Oregon. Only
by a careful peiusal of The Ore
goniau’s New Year editions can the
people of Oregon themselves keep
up with their own state. The peo
ple of Oregon have reason to be
proud of The Oregonian s annual
New Year editions and a reading
of them makes us more proud of
our own state and more satisfied
that there is no other place like it
on earth or in heaven.
We wish our friends and enemies
a happy and prosjierous New Year.
May our friends prosper more than
our enemies. Muy our enemies get
only jiart of what is coming to them
and may they see the light during
the year to come that ere another
year rolls by we may be able to
wish for them all th<* good things
that should come to those who are
fortunate enough to have their

Probably believing that it is im
possible to get too much of a good
thing, the Corvallis Gazette Time«
issued a 30 page blew Year edition.
The Gazette limes poses as some
thing of a slate and national insti

clusivoly to extolling the city of
Corvallis as the social, business and
industrial hub of the universe, al

have been few enough oven for that.

NEGLECTED FATHER DIES
IN COUNTY POOR HOUSE
A short time ago an old man,
aged SO years, died in the Olmstead
county poor house, and a story of
ingratitude is disclosed thereby
which brings a blush of shame for
our boasted civilization. He win at
one time n prosperous und success
fill contractor and by hard work
and frugal economy he accumulated
a little property, in addition to
bringing up u large family. In an
evil Tiny he divided his property
among his children, and soon after
receiving the cash these ungrateful
offspring forgot the generous father
—neglected even to provide the ne
cessities of life for him. For a time
he lived with frieads, but the in
evitable day canie when the most
charitably disposed could do no
more and he was seat to the poor
house. Some of the children lived
in distant parts, but one of the sons
resided in the county with his
father. Notwithstanding that all of
them were in prosperous circum
stances und had been given a good
start la life by him, they permitted
the old man to die alone sad for
saken, a public charge and a pauper.
We do not recall just the partic
ular part of hades in which the im
mortal Dante found the ungrateful,
but if the punishment of the whole
wore rolled into one scourge it
would not be too severe a punish
ment for such ingratitude. But, ns
likely as not, if the all-wise Ruler
should give them their just dues
and cast them into the bottomless
pit, we are sure this old man would
wear callouses on his knees plead
ing for their redemption. Such is
human nature.—Albert Lea (Minn.;
Tribune.
Wheu He Smiled.
A young man who had just be-
come engaged hnd an amazingly
large mouth which, when he smiled,
si-euied to spread out over his whole
face. At the urging of his uewly
betrothed sweetheart he went to
speak to her father at once.
“I—I have come, Mr. Barrett,”
he said, beginning to smile at once
with the utmost geniality in order
to cover up his embarrassment, “to
—to ask for your daughter'» hand.
I—I—“
"Excuse me,’’ the father mildly
interrupted, “but will you kindly
doer your mouth for a moment until
I can see who you are!"
Not According to Program.
Three yearvld Janie's mother was
called away just an she had nettled
the baby on a bench.
“Stny here now and watch your
little baby brother, Janie,’* she di
rected. “I'll be back ta a few min
utes. He'll fall asleep presently.’’
Before the few minutes were up
a resounding roar startled the moth
er. An she burned toward the bench
Janie came running to meet her.
“Mamma," she called excitedly,
"he failed all right, but he wasn't
asleep. ’'

People of Cottage Grove who suffer
with wimk kidneys and bad backs want
a kidney remedy that can be de, ?nded
upon. Doan’s Kidney Pills is a medi

that is backed by willing testimony
of Cottage Grove people. Ask your
neighbor.
C. A. lambert, 231 Second St., Cot

anything better for kidney trouble than
Doan's Kidney Pills. My work was s
strain on my bark and I had attacks
of lumbago which hurt me to bond or
stoop and it was just as hard to
straighten again. My kidneys acted
irregularly, until 1 used Doan’s Kid
