We are pained to learn that Clye Newoll broke his leg reoently at Sea sidn, Ore., where he was employed as engineer on a logging engine. His friends hope that nothing will happen to necessitate his staying in bed long er than nooessary. The young man's mother is with him, and under such watchful care as only a mother can give he will undoubtedly get well be fore many weeks have passed. A number of people of the Lodge callod at the homo of Mr. aud Mrs. G. D. Boardmun and Bpent a very pleasant evening last Sunday. Mr. Elmor Boardmau played the phono graph for the younger set. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Russell aud family, Mrs. Jones aud her two sons, Mr, and Mrs. Painton, Mr aud Mrs W. E. Beckuer and son Clarence. Mrs. Wilcox's sister and family from Rainier are visiting at the home ot the former. At last the Lodge is going to have a poBtotlico. The governmontofiicialB have been cognizant of the fact that Jennings Lodge is a town aud not, as heretofore thought by these gentle men, a disease. We will all get off our backs now aud stare the reality square in the 'lace, for we had hoped aud worked so long for an office that the malady hud become a nightmare. Miss MoOovern is still suffering from a very acute attack of nervous ness anil her many friends sincerely hope for a speedy recovery. Opportunity is like the milestones along this rugged life. The older we get the farther the stones bohui to be apart, and incidentally fewer in num her appears each golden opportunity. Whether it is owing to unkind fate or due to ourselves, the ones who make tho best uses of these opportunities are the ones who have the fewest iu number, and the ones who make the poorest use of them always have the most chance. Now, it we could uti lize some of the time that the old father lias so genorouly alloted to each mother's son of us, in trying to graHp some of these chances instead of devoting ourselves to help lift the scales from the other fellow's eyes, wo would get wiser aud there is a bare possibility we might become more prosperous. But it is not one of the blessings of humanity to hold up tne mirror to our own battle sauarred visages, but always get be hind tlifljapoi light of publio censor ship. But to what ends will we not go to g.-t a chance to help the rest of tho "bunch" iu'pulling the Bcales from the other follow '8 eyes and then shove him unprotected iuto the lime light of publioity. Discretion is the bettor part of valor, and if this is so, why not try to be a little valiaut when it comes to showing the other fellow what our interpretation of a successful life is? An idle brain is tho devil's workshop. Then to be successful we must at least be liusy, mentlly as well as pnysically. Thou that does not mean we should let our brain got rusty, but must do some thing to keep the intellect thoroughly alive. Wo oau't keep the iutollect alive and our brains from becoming the devil's workshop if we abuse it by drugs or intoxicants. Why will people do these things when these same things are tho ones that kill us morally, physically, and sometimes at the psychological moment when ilfo has become the essens of joy unmiti gated with sorrow or defeat? If we go through all of life without suffer ing defeat in sinue of its variud forms, wo, must of a surety lead a charmed existene.. For we cauf be blamed for falling down once in a while, but wo don t need to lay there. Time is the essence of most all thiug and tho only way we can get oven a gliinpso of that fickle dame Fortnre is to keep ourselves clean, for if wo are not cleangour minds as well as our bodies are sure to got a bad case of tho "body politic." Science teaches us that the physical preys upon the intellectal as well as tho moral aud it's up to'us to put or keep our bodies from tho pests of the air aud the beasts of earth if we mean to become even normally successful, and ; the world, the times and tho people have no place nor time for any others. Lot us work for tho upbuilding of these temples ot ours.

Notts That utility measured bv the egg aud meat'tiroductiou is the real stan dard for the determination of the val ue of ant n and not the shape end color of f1.ath1.r9 is tiio proposition unon which Professor J aim a Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural College, in a bulletin which has jost gone to press, takes issue with the editors of tho American Standard of Perfection and breeders of fau y chickens. "To encourage the poultry indus try," says Professor Dryden, "hun derds of poultry shows are held each year and thousands of dollars are paid on preimums and all the premiums are awarded 00 tlie'hasis of the Amer ican Standard of Perfection. "The best poultry keeper iu the country is the faruior and the far mer's wife. I have been ashamed many times injmy chicken career that we who were 'educating the farmers' were raising sickly, constitutionally weak chickens, and then go to the farm and Bee running around the barnyard, without attention or care, thrifty, robust, lively chickens. We are slaves of the dogma of the feather and the St indard md the farmer pro duces the eggs. I believe that the farm stock, and cross bred stock, or shall I say the mongrel stock, have better vitalities, are more fertile, are less prayed upou by diseases and pro duce more eggs, than the average flock of pure breds. "To discover the egg type we have to use the trap nest or some other means of keeping a record of eggs laid by individual hens. The trap nest is about the best thing we have discov ered iu the poultry business. We will mane slow improvement in breed, ing without au egg record for each hen in the flock. The objection to the trap nest is that it requires too much labor for the farmer. I believe that the state or' experiment station should come to the recsuo here by es tablishing a breeding station whore faruiers'Vould secure at nominal prices oockerels of good laying pedigrte to mate with their Hocks. It would not take very long to furnish every farmer with a male bird whose ancestry dur ing two generations has a record of 100 eggs a year." Von are not experimenting ou your self when you take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a cold as that preparation has won its great reputa tion and extensive sale by its remark able cures of colds, and can always be depended upon. It is equally val uable lor adults and children aud may be givn to young children with im plicit confidence as it contains no harmful drug. Sold by all good dealers.
