AIDING auu THIEF
1'ooplo, gonorally speaking, aro
honest. Tho nvorago man or woman
would not pauso to aid a burglar to
opon tho door ot a resldonco or a
storo building and thus becouio an
accompllco In n crluio, ovon It thoy
woro told that thoy would havn
their division of tho "swag."
Yot BOino of theso samo pooplo
will buy goods from strangors nt
ridiculous prlcoB whon thoy should
know that goods thus offorod aro, In
all probability, stolon.
Instancos ot this havo boon found
by tho local pollco offlcors. Ho
contly a boy sold n number ot silk
handkerchiefs for ton cents each,
which rotail In tho stores at from
11.G0 to $2.00. It would scorn that
anyono offorod thoso handlkorchlofs
would havo askod hlmself: "Why
aro theno offorod no cboaply?" Log
ically, Is not ono who thus socuros
proporty for less than its vnluo,
guilty ot dividing tho "swag."
Whouovor n poddlar offors goods
so orldontly socurod contrary to

they aro offorod to Immediately In
form tho offlcors so that thoy can
apprnhond tho man and thus socura
ovldonco to doted tho crime.
Tho offlcors cannot by somo sixth
sonBO dovlno criminals. Thoy must
act on tanglblo information. If
your homo woro robbod and Its
vnluablo contonts taken, you would
approclato tho efforts ot tho offl
cors to sccuro its returns, would you
not? You would approclato it, it
a neighbor having boon offorod
somo of your goods at a ridiculous
ly low prlco, reported it to tho
pollco and thuB secured its roturn
to you, would you not? Thon should
you not glvo your nolghbor that
samo protection for his proporty?
It Is posslblo that with condi
tions ns thoy aro that this winter
will witness n cnrnlvat of small
crimes, and tho public can old tho
offlcors materially by giving thorn
this co-oporatton. It Is right that
thoy rocolvo it.
ju: careful ok hooks
In tho public library thero is ono
book which is so popular at prosont
that, though many havo ntready
road It, thero Is n waiting list of
nioro than 30 who havo askod for
It. If all who dcslro to road It aro
to havo tho ploasuro and profit
thoy seek, thoso who do sccuro It
will havo to tnko hotter caro of It
than Is usually accorded a public li
brary book.
It is strongo, hut truo, that what
pooplo rocolvo for no direct ox
pondlturo, thoy llttlo appreciate
In reality, of course, thoy should
approclato that which thoy socuro
gratuitously, ovon mora than that
which thoy own. Ilut thoy do not,
and that bolng truo should bo on
tholr guard whon using othor peo
plo's proporty.
Six months ago tho public library
rocolvod a shipment ot books, a
largo portion of which was of tho
popular fiction typo. Already noar
y nil ot thoso books havo boon so
worn that thoy havo boon or nro out
of circulation whllo bolng ropalrod.
Tho public Is rosponslhlo for this
condition. Though tho art of book
making has not maintained tho
standard of pormanency which was
obtalnod whon all hooks woro hand-
bound, stilt they nro sufficiently
woll mado to withstand roasonablo
wonr for a groator period than six
months.
Tho nvorago hook In tho public
library, whon It has boon loanod a
half dozon times must go to tho
blndory for repairs. That Is mani
festly unfair to tho publlo ' which
supports tho library. It works to
tho detriment of thoso who uso tho
library. It roduccs tho number of
Musicians recognize the Vic
trola's preeminence and give it
the final stamp of their ap
proval. No substitute can

books which can bo secured for tho
tnonoy spent In repairs cannot bo
spent for now books.
Perhaps It Is too Into to sccuro
a chango In tho ways of tho oldor
rtadors. They havo established
cnroloss habits. Thoy do not appro
clato tho worth ot a hooks, but sura
ly wo can do something toward
educating tho children to tho need
for groator caro for tho public's
proporty.
If you havo onjoyod n good book
from tho publlo library, ought you
not tako good caro ot it, whllo it
is in your possession so that othors
may onjoy it, too? If whllo you aro
Injurylng a book, ono hundrod
othors nro doing tho same thing,
thon togothor you nro Injurylng tho
opportunity each has ot gaining fur
ther ploasuro. Ontario and Malheur
county togothor cannot afford to
maintain tho library system to tho
standard it should havo. Tho tax
payers aro doing tholr very best
now. Thoso who uso tho privileges
ot tho library system ought to bo tho
vory ones who would so caro for
tho books thoy uso that groator ser
vlco would bo secured.
PREVENT FINES ALWAYS
This 1b "flro provcntlon wook."
It Is strongo thnt wo should havo to
sot aslda dnys and wooks for spec
ial observation of what should bo a
constant offort.
Evory year tho American pooplo,
largoly through cnrolossnoss des
troy moro wealth than many of tho
nation's ot tho world possess. In
no manner do wo demonstrate our
national wastefulness moro than In
tho number ot tiros ot all kinds
which mnrk each yoar's history.
Tho loss is appalling. To a loss
woalthy nation our flro lossos oach
year would spoil ruin.
Evory day during tho school year
somo school homo somo wboro in
this broad land burns nnd places
In Jeopardy tho llvos of mnny chil
dren. Evory day somo homo burns
nnd somo family mourns tho loss ot
a mothor or child. It is truo that
moro mothors than fathors loio their
lives In flros. Yot this goos pn
yoar after yoar.
Wo wondor It tho tlmo will over
como whon matchos wilt bo kept out
ot tho roach ot children? Suroly
this Is not a dlfflult task. Yot It
Is ono ot tho .most froquont cnusos
ot flroa in homos.
It Ontario mothors and fathors
would start today to put tholr
match boxos out ot tho roach of
tholr chlldron thoy will havo ac
complished a roal rotorm. It Is
not much but it may moan tho sav
ing ot many llvos. It is worth try
ing. PORTLAND AND OREGON
Portland business men, rocolvo
moro criticism than do tho business
mon ot most cltlos. Dy this tlmo
thoy should all bo "hard bollod," or
at loast, "roastod to a turn," for
thoy havo boon, "pannod" ofton
enough.
Whllo wo know that Portland Is
woll ablo to caro for Its own Inter
ests, sometimes wo fool that tho
"roasts" handod tho mon from tho
motropolla aro not doservod. Often
thoy aro accusod ot dorellctlons
which should bo laid at the door
ot tho Wllamotto valloy, ot Salem
and a lot ot tho othor cltlos ot
that region.
Pooplo out in tho state, especial
ly horo in Malheur county havo no
reason to complain ot Portland's at
tltudo, for examplo, In tho matter of
tho stato highway program. Al
tho Multnomah county pays somo
$874,000 Into tho stato highway
funds, It rocolves a very small por
tion in roturn whllo Malheur county
which pays a total of $24,700 to
tho highway funds Is securing roads
tho total cost of which will bo near
ly $1,000,000.. As a mattor ot fact
Malheur county's contribution will
barely pay tho Interest on the in-
vostmont which tho stato has mado
In its highways, and provide noth
ing for the rotlrement ot tho bonds.
Naturally a largo portion ot tho
funds spent In Malheur county como
from Multnomah county, for that
county is the ono big contributor
which does not participate to any
marked degree in tho distribution
of tho money,
Nor Is this all, Since Multnomah
county has most of tho autos which
pay the gasollno tax, tho funds
which will maintain the roads in
this and othor Eastern Orogon coun
ties will come from the big cities
on tho Wllamotto and Columbia, so
when you feel llko "cussing" Port
land, It is only fair to remember
what Portland and Multnomah coun
ty hayo done tor the highways of
Orogon and Malheur county, of
which we ore all justly proud, and
whoso benefits wo all enjoy.
Tho one lesson that the Ontario
High School football team should

Artistic Chines Work.
Llttlo Jndc trees growing sturdlt)' In
bowls of tho rarest cloisonne and bear

branches, clustered close to the cool
green of tho Jado leaves, wonder fruits
of coral and amber nnd delicately
wrought blossoms of the translucent
Khlte Jade, might bo n memory of tho
Arabian Nights and Aladdin's lamp.
They might be, but they nro not.
They nro tributes to the Infinite pa

Qlevlng tht Tongut.
A glove for the tongue has been
patented by on Inventor of Inulana. It
Is called a "tongue shield," and Is do
signed to enable tho wearer to escape
tho unpleasantness of castor oil or
other bsd-tastlng medicines. Tho con
trivance might bo said to havt the
shone of n mlnlaturo slipper without
any heel portion, but when placed over
tho tonguo Is Inverted. Tho tongue Is
Inserted Into the "toe" part and the
back part of the "sole" extends over
tho top of tho tonguo toward tho
throat. The device Is made of thin
rubber, so as to bo liquid proof, and
Is so constructed as to fit tho tonguo
snugly without discomfort. When
medicine Is taken it rmsnei Into Ihe
throat without affecting the sense of
taste, so that all unpleasantness Is ob
viated. Thought Tssehsr Dsnss.

learned that tho weakness in or

with the necessary strengthening
