We would pot tjike oqe from him, he merits them; hut many an “ ordinary” woman has stood at her post of duty for thirty or forty, or even half a century, fighting with sick ness, poverty anti discouragement and with true Spartan courage kept the wolf from the door and saved the lives of a large family of children. The man who saves one life receives a prize for brav ery, his picture appears in the metropolitan pa|>ers, and he wears a medal which says to the world that he was brave. And he was. But the woman who has saved the lives of many is given no badge, and seldom a word of commenda tion. The “ ordinary” woman may not receive a Carnegie medal for bravery, but “ lie who murks the sparrow a fall” will certainly receive a jeweled crown for them in heaven. =! = TAI I ®T TED HAS TROUBLES LIKE NO ONE ELSE Malinger Taylor of the Htayton i Ted Taylor lias-put his Ford in the repair shop for a few days.

The Stayton Fire Department met in regular session at the fire hall laat Friday evening. Officer* for the ensuing year were elected and other husineaa transacted. A campaign haa been started to enlist new’ members in the com pany, and a committee consisting of Forrest Maek, John Thoma and Henry Smith were appointed on that campaign. The company is also short fi nancially and at the next meeting of the council the fire department will be represented by a commit tee who will ask for help from the city. Interest in the company seems to have lost out, for the reason that there are not very many of our citizens belong to it and do not seem to want to give it much thought. They all know how the work should be done and gener ally stand around and watch the other fellow do the work at a fire, and then go home and leave the work of drying the hose and tak ing care of the apparatus to a few honest-to-God members. This is where the shoe pinches and unless the atmosphere changes somewhat in a short time we may find our selves without a fire department. The following officers were elected: Forrest Mack, president; V. Dare Sloper, secretary-treas urer ; Henry Smith, foreman; Chas. Luthy, first assistant fore man; John Mielke, second assist ant foreman. , The Way Things Look to Us Good to buy. good to hold, good to give for Christmas—War Sav ings Stamps. «« 10865292 The Senate intenda to be rep By courtesy of H.
