I Ant», Ore., Oct. 27, 1920. Editor Mt. Scott Herald: I saw a statement in the press of a man who claims that when he votes next Tuesday he has voted for 14 presidents. Now 1 will go him two better. When I vote Tues day it will make me 16 presidents. I voted for Preaident Lincoln in 1860 the first time he ran for f»resident. I have voted the repub- iean ticket ever since and vot«l it straight. I claim the longevity of my life is largely prolonged by being a republican and would ad vise all democrats to come into ___ the republican ranks. They will live longer and die happier. While I have pawed my 81st milestone I. am juat a kid yet. I served three year« in the army of the civil war; was wounded at Get tysburg; am ready to match the ■winner in the next great battle of the heavyweight. JOHN WALROD. I^nts, Ore.

George of Boston and was officially placed in the hall of representatives of the statehouse on the wall just I back of the speaker’s chair, at a cost of $800. The picture was un- ' veiled by Governor Olcott, Room for Much Better Understanding Between Americans and British. By ROBERT A. GARDNER. Chicago. Amateur Golfer. The uppermost subject in my mind since my return is the need of a much better understanding hetween the majority of the people in the two coun tries. No, I won’t say that. Rather I will say a bet ter understanding in each country of the other coun try. The British and Americans must stand close t<> one another and 1 firmly believe that they will. I know that there is a certain class over there that is anti- AtneYican, just as we have an anti-British class over here. But from what 1 saw over there that class is not composed of the thinking ]>eople in any sense of the word, uor do 1 think thiil they are in control. From the very moment that we set foot on their soil they did everything in their power to make us feel that we were the guests of the nation. Everywhere we went we were entertained and made to feel at home—at M airfield, St Andrews and Loudon. The thing that made the strongest impression on me was their sportsmanship. It is apparent in their every act. Not only on the field of play but in their home life, and they even carry it to their business. The spirit of merciless competition that is everywhere on this side of the Atlantic is totally lacking over there. No matter what it cost.« them they always play fair. Nut just for the sake of playing fair, but because it never seems to occur to them to act otherwise. All the way through I met with the utmost cordiality and sporta- manaliip. And it occurred to me that this summers invasion of our different athletes was doing a whole lot to clear up misconceptions between the two nations. They have created a country-wide interest in both the games and the Americans. 1 want to say again that I grew to have a very sincere feeling for the Englishman as I «aw him in his own country. If I may be permitted, I will fall back on a bit of American slang, and say that I surely found them “regular guys.” BEN HUR COURT NO. 9 Of Archer Place has a member ship contest on. A genuine revival for new members is on. There is to be a dinner served by the losers. An open meeting wrill be held No vember 5 to all members and their friend» at Archer Place hall.

GIRL BABIES PREDOMINATE September proved to be a ban ner month for the birth of girl ba bies in Portland, for in this month the birta of girls exceeded that of boys for the first time during any month in the year. A total of 221 girls were delivered by King Stork in September and 205 boys, accord ing to the records of Ma Nyus- baum, registrar of births of ______ the city health bureau. In April, 1920, an equal number of girls and boys were bom in Port land, 227 of each sex, but in every other month of the year the birth of boys has been greater than that of girls.

Tex., thinks that fblly 98 per cent of the people you know stand up and face their troubles like men. vely, mighty few of us, “Relatively igainst it hard, ever quit.” put up at .«avs Mr. Davis. “We meet Old and laugh in his Man Disability ’ _ face. If we can’t laugh, we grin. "Perhaps some man who reads this is finding life’s going a little rough, and ir. just the least bit tempted to join that two per cent or less who quit If so. go out and look at a few people who are worse off than you are. You can find them very' easily. Then take vour soul over into a corner, back it up against the wall, look it squarely in the eye, and say: “Did you see those people with all sorts of things the matter with them’ Pretty fortunate we aren’t in their shape, eh? Things don’t happen to be coming their very best for us. but what of it? Sup pose even that they were coming their very worst. Suppose that old call-boy with the hour-glasB and scythe were standing right behind us, with his hand stretched out to tap us on the shoulder and tell us our cue had come to go away from I here! Even so. look how long he let us stay. It is a mighty good world, a few bleating pessimists notwithstanding, and we were in luck to be allowed to come here at all. Think of the millions who •didn’t have as long a spell in it as we had. Think of the millions more who didn’t have as happy a time while they were here as we have had. Soul, you belong to a luckv dog! “Then grin. You will be aston ished. I dare say, at how promptly and cheerfully vour soul will grin back.” LIBRARY NOTES The I^nta Library hag these bul- letins that may be had while the supply lasts: Preserving vegetables by salting, drying, and storing.
