Dickens George Washington was the first, president of tho United States and John Adams was the second. The enumeration ran along with possible complication for a long time. Kvery man who served as president, whether he served two terms or one, or less than one, wa6 given a unmoral. So it ran until Grnver Cleveland was oLct- ed in 1884. His predecessor, Choster A. Arthur, had been recorded as the twenty-first president, so Mr. Cleve- 4 laud was put down as the twenty second president. Mr. Cleveland served only ono term, giving way to Benjamin Harrison, who was elocted - in 1888. Sticking to the original formula Mr. Harrison was recorded as the twenty-third president. - Then came an eutiroly now precedent, but not a new president. After four years in private life Mr. Cleveland was re elected president in 1892 and resumed the office the following year. Mr. Harrison had been tho twenty-third president, so his successor must be the twenty-fourth president. Hut Mr. Cleveland had already been recorded in history as the twonty-second presi dent. Should he then be written down a the twenty-second, or tho twenty-fourth? Call him tho twenty saoond during his second term and you would have tho anomaly of the twenty-second president seiving after tho twenty-third had completed his torm. Call him the twenty-fourth and yon would not adequately de scribe him. Moreovor, the twonty second would then be expuugod from the record entirely. Call him tho twenty-second and the twenty-fourth, and you wonld'dopnrfc from tho rulo of giving each man a Hinlgo num eral. If the term rather than tho in dividual should govern, George Wash ington was the first and socond presi dent and so on down tho lino. Men who had served only fractional terms would be diillicult to describe at all. S'.ato Dairy Association at Salem lias determined the details of that con vent ion December lOtb and 11th. The sessions will be held in Ye Liberty Teatre, while a commodious hall has boon seenred for exhibits. The Board of Trado of that city will receive ex hihits and oare for them so that they will he in excellent condition for (lis play. Messrs. Win. M.

Chung Yu Wang, A. M., in his book on the Origin and Nature of Love, says: "Love is a state of feel ing, manifesting itself invariably un der tho guho of tho higher nnd low er emotions, but due to an innate im pulse, either primary or secondary, through instinct, association, or ac commodation, of cxpiession by tho act of ejecting onu's ideal self or ego for its fulfillment and satisfaction in a sentient or imaginary being having elemeutB that are capable of arousing that impulso through qualities absent in the one in whom sneh feeling is generated and in whom the power of imagination is capable of approaching to emotional hyperbole."

Tho Oregon-Idaho Development Coinrress. of whish Hon. Stephen A Lowell, of Pendleton, is president, will mot at Vale, Oregon, from De comber 17th to 19th.

The Kough Riders of all poli tics havo seen their fate sealed by tha retirement of Mr. Roosevelt and they will have to go way back nnd sit down with thoso once favored people who came from Canton, Ohio. It is now moro than a week" since the election, and neither Prosident Koosevelt nor Mr. Tuft has expressed mdisnntton at tho fact that Mr. Koekfeller voted tho republican tick et.

The secretary of the Farmers' Na tional Committee is of the opiniou that tho time has arrived when alco hol will be a successful competitor of coal oil. Tho general uses of the de natured artiolonro as fuel, in heating, cooking and lighting. It is said to be cheaper than coal oil at the present prices. Then it is smokeless, Bootless aud odorless. Tho industry is of course in its infancy and it is cxpeot od that in time alcohol will ho ninoh cheaper than it is now, at fifty cents a gallon. At present com is tho main material from which tho aloohol that is used for commercial purposes in this country is made, but in time it will bo made from many other and cheaper uiaturials. From tho oxhibits in connection with the meeting of tho Northwest Fruit Growers' Association and the Oregou State Horticultural Society a most effective and unusual advertise ment of the fruits of tho Pacific Northwest has been evolved. The twenty choicest boxes of pri.o-wiuniiig apples have boon purchased by the Portland Commercial Club, and after display in tho windows ot Macy's famous store in Now York for a week, ten boxes will he sent to King Kd ward of England anil the other ten to Kaisor Wilhclui ot Germany.

It is thought by many .who have given the subject close attention that our preseut school system Is very im; perfect. It. is posHiblo under our pros ent system and happens many times throughout the state tlmt a county road divides a large and populous and wealthy school district from a poorer district with few people. The weal thy district has nine or ten mouths of school, good teachers and abundant equipment. The poor district has four months of school an inexperi enced teachor, and poor equipment. The wealthy district may have within its boundaries a large sawmill, a power plant, railroad, or other valu able something that brings in a large return in taxes. Tho poorer district may be a pioneer farm district with small valuations. Iu the Kstacada school district, according to the as sessment of 1907, the Ca.adero Power Plant is assessed at $300,000. The dis trict voted a seven-mills tax. The power plant alone paid 2, 100. Tho question arises ; Why should a child who is born across tho road in the poor district be compelled to ac cept the poor education facilities offered him ' Why should an arbi trarily fixed line ray: "Thus far shall opportunity come aud no farther. You who are born across the road of educational opportunity are merely unfortunate. It can't be helped. " The civilized world long ago struck this lie in the faco and has said: "It can be helped." The question is: Will it bo helped? . May the poor educational facilities ever effect the welfaro of tho child across the road iu the larger district? Let us see. Suppose tho child boin in the poor district is a boy. Ho grows up poorly educated. He wons nun weds a daughter of a lainily who resides in the lavcrod district. His wife is much better educated than he IB. flow much better it would be it this yoar and a special committee! cnnsisf ng of Mrs. Clara A. W'lldo, Austin Y. Buxton and one other were , nf,ui n taA in nucint in rlrafM'no flip measure which is to be introduced in this session of the legislature. each hud had equal opportunity. So ciety is a compusite body. It is im possible to develop one branoh of it at the expense or neglect of another brauoli, without the neglooted branch dragging down the average achievo- niout of the whole society. The remedy offered is to make the county the unit for the purpose of taxation. Under the proposed system, the $1, 000,000 power plant at Caza dero would assist in making up the deficiency in the poorer districts ot the county. It is also proposed that tho school moneys shall be distributed according to the number of teachors employed aud that each school bo apportioned enough money to run from six to nine mouths. It is further proposed to make the county ono school district with a school boarn of five members who shall be elected as county coiumis siouors are elook'd. This board shall employ the county school superinten dent and the teachers for the county. I think now I hour a kick. But stop. Do you always get tho best cit lzens or your community on your local school board i is llieie an ego tist on tho hoard who thinks he is IT" iu big capitals, and wants to run the whole thing, though ;he may be totally unlit ror tho position Don t yon, a little more than once in a while, elect just such a person be cause no ono else wants to be both ered with it? I have known of such ases. This does not apply to all boards, and I hope it doesn't apply to yours, Mr. Jtoador. 1 knew one school board, the ma jority of whom were bachelors. Both of these eligihles wore like Barkis, very "willin'. " They wrote to a school ma'am and askod the color of lur eyes and hair, her height, aud wanted her to send her photograph. As if such things had anything to do with her teaching ability 1 She taught tho Bchool aud sho didu't marry the school board. Other school boards are in the habit of meddilng about the teacher's boarding place. I have beon toaching in country districts sinoe 1805 and this has been one of the most embarrassing questions I havo had to solve , V hero shall I board? i our local board is governed too much by the neighborhood prejudices and joal- iiKies. A county hoard would know nothing about thoso and would labor for the good of tho whole county and lie school. It would be much better than the present, method. iheie is an idea abroad that because .iistriot lias but seveu pupils aud another d'striot forty, that tho dis trict having Boveu does not need as many inont lis' school as the ono hav ing forty. The absurdity of such an lea is aptly shown by the descrip- iou of two logging camps. This is State Superintendent Aclterman's il lustration. If forty men labor in one amp they must lie fed a bounteous meal, while the seven men are tea a poor, stingy meal simply bocauso they aro seveu. It takes just as many mouths to teach seven pupils what . in the courso of study us it dooB to ach lorry. The ideas set forth tibove wore unanimously endorsed by the Oregon State Grange in its session at Fugene '"" Spokane In Readiness. Factory and locomotive wli'stles, cannons, bells on churches and school houses, fire gongs, siren horns and all the noise-producing apparatus in Spo xaiie w ill join in a five-minute dem onstration at 10 :80 o'clock the morn ing of Docember 7, when President Koosevelt will give the signal by tel egraph from the executive mansion for the formal opening of the National Apple Show. Thousands of banners and standards will be unfurled in various parts of the city and the flags of all nations will b? flung to the breeze from staffs at Festival Hall, where apples have been gathored from the four corners of the earth to com pete for premiums. Arthur W. Jones, secretary of the 150,000 club of Spokane, has enlisted the scivices of 8,000 members of that organization and thousands of men, women and children iu the oity, and promises a series of shrieks, clangs and clatter which will make the average Fourth of July celebration appear like a pink tea. Thus tho peo ple of Spokane crown the humble ap ple the king of froit. The apple festival in Spokane will be the first of its kind in the world. Entries have been received from growers in 87 states in the Union and tour provinces in Canada, also from England, Germany, Frauoo, Wales, Scotland, Denmark aud Japan.

Doctor Said Mrs. Lucler's Stomach. Was Worn Out, but Ml-o-na Cured Her. Why, oh why will people of intelli gence continue to suffer with dyspep sia or distressing stomach troubles, when Mi-o-na, the only Bcientifio rem edy, lias a record of thousands of just such cures as the following: "I was near to death's door. The doctor said he had done all he could; that my stomach was. old and worn out. I was so weak I could not walk. I took Mi-o-na tab lots, and have been eating hearty ever since, aud l am able to work like a tiger. I wish I could go ami thauu you myself. I send yon my picture, and you can use my word and my pic ture, and I thank you again. "Mrs. Nelson Lucior, 112 Fisk St., Athol, Mass. Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia. J here isn't a particle ot doubt about it; and if any of the readors of the Courier are suffering from stomnoh trouble ot any kind, Jones Drug Co. will sell you a box of Mi-o-na for 50 cents with au absolute Buarantee of relief, or niouoy back. In many casos one box will effect a permanent cure; in chronic conditions more is necessary. But one thiug is certain : one box of Mi-o-ua will make you feel so muoh hotter and brighter, so much more enorgetio, that you will not give it op till cured. Mi-o-na is not a digester. Digesters never cured dyspepsia and never will. Mi-o-ua is a stouiacn srreiigtuoner uit builds up the worn out, flabby iusido of the stomach, aud makes the stomach strong enough to pertectly digest what you eat.
