MEETING NEIGHBORS AT
FUNERALS.
A Cottage Grove pastor made the
remark a few weeks ago that many
of us havo to attend tho funeral >f
a friend in order to visit our neigh
borH. That applies to many of uh
and it might have been added that
we are so everlastingly busy that
often we do not learn that a. friend
or neighbor has been in the agony
of' death until we are asked whether
we arc going to attend the funeral.
Many of us are so busy that we
can’t even find time to attend the
funeral. If wo keep on at our
present, pace, by the time sonic o! f
us have lived out our lives the
world may be so busy that no one
will have time to remove us to the
burial plot.
There is no pleasure greater than
that of knowing that you have car
ried cheer to the sick room, There
is "reat satisfaction in knowing
that you did all you could to make
pleasant the last, hours on earth of
some friend or neighbor.
The truth is that we fiddle away
on pleasure more than enough time
to perform the duties which we owe
to the sick and suffering.
IIOW EASILY EDITORS LIE.
that are certain to bring sorrow and
pain to innocent ones.
Of course this drawback may be
offset by the pleasure of writing
obituaries for those who abused the
editor or reporter in life.
But to get back to what we were
talking about, tho-confidence re
posed in-the newspapers of the
country is a tribute to the effort
and expense to which reputable
newspapers go to have their news
correct.
Did the reader know the number
of chances for error, ho might with-
hold his confidence.
It would be easily possible to
iiu.ke 100,000
‘
vital errerà in a single
issue of a paper the size of The
Sentinel.
With such a chance for error,

ASININITY.
A drunken motorist in Ran Fran
cisco drove his car off the street
upon the sidewalk and through the
plate glass window of a barber
shop.
When it came time to try him
tho motorist’s attorney produced
sections of the motor vehicle law
which declare that a person is
guilty of a crime who drives an
automobile while under the influ
ence of liquor on “public highways
exclusive of sidewalks used by Pe
destrians. ’ ’
Upon this showing the charge of
reckless driving and malicious mis
chief was dismissed.
Does tho Oregon motor vehicle
law contain any such evidence of
asininityf—Oregon Journal.
This is just another example il
lustrating the fact that Oregon,
despite some of tho advertising it
has had, is not so asinine as its
sister states. The Oregon law says
that the driver must operate his
car in a careful manner, with du«
regard for the life and property vf
others. That is the meat of the reg
illations for tho operation of motor
vehicles in Oregon. Certain other
restrictions are made to assist tin
motorist in driving his vehicle in
that manner. It is n crime in Ore
gon to drive an automobile any
where while under the influence of
liquor or while the driver is not
nu ntally capable of operating a car.
No, they can’t got by with that
kind of a defense in Oregon.

The pine beetle epidemic in Klam
ath and Lake counties, which is
timated to have destroyed $5,000,000
worth of yellow pine timber in the
past ten years, is virtually cleaned
out of Oregon, according to the an
nouncement of A. J. Jaenicke, for
est entomologist, who has directed
the control project.
“We are now working to prevent
the recurrence of a similar epidem
ic,’’ Jaenicke said, “and are keep
ing a careful watch on the cleaned
up sections.’’
Approximately $200,000 has been

ernment and private owners. The
Klamath Falls Protective associa
tion is representing the private
timber owners in the project anti
the Indian service, forest service
and bureau of entomology are rep
resenting the federal interests.
The campaign against the pi.ie
beetle was carried on in approx i-
mutely 1,000,000 acres in the two
counties. This territory is now vir-
tually free from the epidemic.
It was not until recently
authorities realized that the
insect less than one-fourth of an
inch in length. It kills thrifty tim
ber by eating out the tissue of the
trees. It penetrates the bark and
makes its home in the heart of the
pine, causing it to die within a per
iod of one or two years.
The control measures consist in
locating infected timber, peeling the
bark and burning the infected por
tions which contain the beetle
hordes.

Easily Editors Lie.“
And the wag told the truth.
It is easy for editors to lie.
But often when editors lie it in
the fault of someone else who has
been careless in giving the facts
for a news item.
If editors were ns careless in get-
ting at tho facts ns the ordinary
person is in trying to give correct
information upon which to base a
news item, errors in newspapers
would be multiplied.
If you wish to know something
about tho difficulty of getting th?
facts straight, get a story from 12
persons who were witnesses of an
automobile accident. You are likely
to havo 24 versions.

daily that a reader of a newspaper
will find one error of fact in mi
entire edition of a. newspaper and
then wisely observe that you can
never believe what you read in a
newspaper.
