WOMEN SET POOR E X A M P LE TO
MERE MAN.
Should a man in a public place give
up his seat to a woman when nil the
»eats are taken f
The natural and reasonable answer
to this question is that he should, but
wait —
On a train a few days ago two
young women and a young man had
gotteu possessiou o f two seats, which
gave them a cory little compartment.
One o f the young noincu seemed to be
the favorite of the young man. The
other girl may have been a prospective
sister-in law. At Hny rate she was left
to occupy aloue the second seat o f the
compartment. To fill the seat she up­
ended a suit ease thereiu aud seemed
just as well satisfied with her com­
panion as did her feniiuine companion
in possession o f more animated bag­
gage.
At a small station a middle-aged
woman carrying a babe in arms board
•d the train. The si-ats were crowded.
She seemed to have a good prospect o f
.danditig up during her trip. She cast
longing eyes at the seat being held
down by the suit case. She l o o k e d at
the spooning couple opposite and may
have thought o f years gone by in her
own life when she too was careless of
the rights o f others. She might have
reminded the young people that were
getting a good start on the nay that
would put them in the same position
she was in. The sent was not offered
her and she passed on.
Another seat was occupied by a
woman and a girl of about four years
of age, quite evidently her daughter.
The mother might have thought of tho
time when she too was carrying a babe
in arms aud when the proffer o f a
seat would have been most welcome,
but she did uot offer to take her lit­
tle tot ou her lap to make room for
the other mother.
We wish there was some way to
know whether this mother for whom
our heart went out in sympathy is just
as thoughtless o f members of her own
sex under similar circumstances.
In answer to the question we have
asked above, wouldn’t a man lie a fool
to give up his seat to women who
themselves show so little respect for
others o f their sex as did the two re
ferred tot
Wouldn’t a man have felt like an
idiot if he had recognized in them
someone to whom he had given up a
seat in time pastt
Should a man give up his seat to a
woman f
Not to all women.
L E T TH E SCHOOLS GO SMASH
Citizens of Cottage Grove generally
are particular about the kind o f
schools they have. They wish progres
give sehool directors, progressive teach
ers and progressive schools.
So, i f an annual school election does
not go to suit them, they set up a howl
that is really mournful, make dire
threats and promises al>out what they
ire going to do next time, go about
heir business and forget all about
their duties as citizens until something
else goes wrong.
A sehool meeting was held this week
Out of a possible thousand votes 52
were cast. We trust that the selection
which was mode is such that there will
be no reason to find fuult about it,
but if it were tint for our own interest
in the matter wo would have been
tickled if some crusty old bachelor who
had never had any children, never c i
peeled to have any, thought others had
no business having them ami that his
own parents had made a serious error
in bringing him ou earth, had been
eleeted to the directorship.
Fifty two votes. Just think o f it.
Ask the school clerk to show you
the (toll book. Ismk over the names
# f those who voted. Count the number
of business men who found ten min­
ute«' time to do a great duty. Count
the number o f mothers who thought
enough o f their children to help select
a sehool director aud clerk. Count the
numlier of those countcil progressive
and prominent in community affairs
who were not counted on this occasion.
For shame!
L A N E COUNTY
AN
EM PIRE
The census o f lutile county crop acre
age just completed by the assessor's
office is an interesting and valuable
compilation. It is significant o f the
limitless opportunities that exist here,
that o f the total acreage in farm laud
a little less than a third is in, agnelli
turai and liorticiiilunG rrtqm. It is sig
nifieant o f the area of this'huge conn
ty that the total nerenge shown by the
survey is approximately 100,000 acres.
When it is known that 100,000 acres
comprises only a third of the land nr
tually in farms, it becomes apparent
that Lane county is an empire with
room for almost uulinnted development.
The survey would be even more in
teresting if there hud been others in
past years with which to eompure the
present figure's. It is worthy o f notice
that grains and hay still make up tin-
bulk o f the total acreage, but it is ap
parent that these crops are a smaller
part o f the total than they would have
been a few years ago. There is the
somewhat surprising fact, for instance,
that approximately 5000 arres are now
planted to corn ami it000 aeres to clo
ver. It has been only n few years
sine* it was generally believed that
these* crops could not be grown Mireras
fully here.
Then there is the further interesting
fart that there are, in round numbers.
5000 arres devoted to fruit and 2000
acres in potatoes and root cro|w. There
are, still »fienking in round numbers,
2000 aeres in apples and IH00 acres in
prunes. There are 000 arres o f cherries,
500 acres of pears and itoti acres of
berries. The figures of a few years i
ago would hate shown a milch larger I
percentage of grain acreage and a mm h ¡
smaller acreage of fruit.
It will be ninny years in the future
In-fore the preponderarne of gram nere
ge is distiirln-d, but it is apparent
hat there has been a great drift away
from grain sowing ami in the direction
of crops requiring more intensive culti
vntion and yielding larger returns |s-r
aere, l ’ illesa all signs fail this drift
will tv even more pronounced in tlo-
future than in the past. Eugene Keg
