OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY NOV. 1$ 1912
JUST BOYS.
REDLAND.
Farmers generally are wishing
for fair weather, since election is
over but little fall grain has heen
sown.
Mr. G. Schnider and Mr. B. Ab
bott have each sold a car load of
spuds to Mr. Larson from Sheri
dan, Oregon. 55 c. per. cwt. f. o. b.
at Oregon City.
It seems a sin and a shame that
all heavy hauling is left for 'wet
weather as-all the loads the wood
and tie haulers are hauling are
cutting our roads to rtits.
Mr. Moore of Portland, is farm
ing his uncle's place, the D. C.
Richardson farm.
The sale of Mr. Oldham's was
well attended and stuff sold reas
onably. "" , .
Mr. and Mrs. Oldham have
- moved to Ooldeudale, Wash, while
1 their son, W. S.' Oldham and
family, have moved to Newburg.
' Mr. and Mrs. Powers entertain
ed some of their Portland rela
tives Sunday.
Elmer Powers has returned
from Haines., where he says it is
cold and snowy.
The Swedish store man had a
house warming last Saturday
night by inviting the young folks
in to dance. It is said they filled
the house to over flowing.
Do the voters want the Eugene
University and the O. A. C. under
one management? You hot. But
little jokers voting six tenths of a
mill for their support with no
limit to the amount. That's worse
than a poker game. I, personally,
am of the opinion that the people
will stand for a reasonable sup
port but no graft, neither will
they stand for an active campaign
for the head officials, of the U. of
O.. We think there ought to be a
change of presidents, considering
the length of the recent ballot
and - measures voted on, I have
come to this conclusion that the
people "want what they want,
when they want it."
It certainly gave the old stand
patters an eye opener. A few more
such elections and the old time
politician will be no more. Then
for Gov. West's vice crusade that
will make Oregon a real paradise
to live in and when our girls go
to work out, wo ' will know that
they are as safo as at home.
EAGLE CREEK.
Walter Douglass and David
Hofl'meister traded cows last
week.
Eagle Creek Grange held its
regular session last Saturday
with only a few of its members
present. But those few partook of
a fine dinner and spent a pleasant
afternoon together. At the next
regular meeting there will be el
ection of oilicers and all members
are desired to be present.
L. II. Kirchem, a prominent
Logan farmer, was a Grange vis
itor Saturday.
Jim Bell of Sandy, visited Eag
le Creek Gauge Saturday.
Last Saturday a large crowd
gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Judd and spent the evening
with them. The evening was very
pleasantly spent in social chat,
dancing, - playing games, cards,
singing and eating.
Claude Woodlo was a Sunday
evening caller at the homo of B.
B. Gibson.
Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR IA
A Splendid Tribute to them by El
beert Hubbard, Editor.
(By Elbert Hubbard.)
I have a profuond respect for
boys. ...
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in
the street often attract mo stran
gely. '
A boy is a man in a cocoon .
you do not know w hat he .is to be-
come his life is big with many
possibilities.
He may mako or unmake kings,
change boundry lines between
states, write books that will mold
characters, or invent machines
-uioo oqi eziuoiinOA0.i it& Bin
merce of the world.
Every man was once a boy. I
trust I shall not be contradicted;
it is really so.
Wouldn't you like lo turn time
backward and see Abraham Lin
coln "at twelve, when he had nev
er worn a pair of boots? The lank
lean, yellow, hungry boy hungry
for love, hungry for learning,
tramping oil through the woods
for twenty miles to borrow a book,
and spelling it out, crouched be
fore the glare of the burning
lugs?
Then there was that Corsican
boy, one of a goodly brood, who
weighed only fifty pounds when
ten years old; who was thin and
pale and perverse, and had tan
trums, and had to bo sent supper
less lo bed, or locked in a- dark
closet, because he wouldn't
"mind!"
Who would have thought that
he would- have - maslered every
phase of warfare at twenty-six;
and when told that the exchequer
of France was in dire confusion,
would say, "The finances? I will
arrange them!"
Very distinctly and vividly I
remember a slim, freckled boy,
who was born in the "patch" and
used to pick up coal along the
railroad tracks in Buffalo. A few
monlhs ago I had a motion to
make before the Supreme Court,
and that boy from the "Patch
was the judge who wrote the
opinion granting my petition.
Yesterday I rode horseback past
a field where a boy was plough
ing. The lad's hair stuck out
through the top of his hat;, his
form was bony and awkward; one
suspender held his trousers in
place; his bare logs and arms
were brown and. sunburned and
briar-scarred. ,
He swung his horses around
just as I passed by, and Jrom un
der the flapping brim of his hat,
he cast a quick glance, out of dark
half bashful eyes, and modestly
returned my salute.
When his back was turned, I
look oil' my hat and sent a God-bless-you
down the- furrow after
him.
Who knows? I may go to that
hoy to borrow money yet, or to
hear him preach, or to beg him to
defend me in a lawsuit; or he may
stand with ' pulse unhastened,
bare of arm, in white apron, ready
to do his duly, while the cone is
placed over my face and night and
death come creeping into "my
veins,
Be patient with the boys you
are dealing with soul-stuff.
Destiny awaits just around the
corner.
Be patient with the boys 1

PRESCRIPTION
Premium Dept.
ST. LOUIS. MO. tk
: For a Long Life.
This Is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman In Con
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, "Live
temperately, be slow to anger, don't
worry, take plenty of exercise In the
fresh, air, and, above all, keep cheer
ful." Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak the blood thin
and slug&ish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
body-building properties of cods'
livers, with the useless grease elimi
nated and tonic iron added. We re
gard Vlnol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators In
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga.,
says: "If people only knew the good
Tinol does old people, yon would be
unable to supply the demand; It is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
I ever used."
We wish every 1 feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vlnol on our agreement to return their
money It It falls to give satisfaction.

the lumber of this house was
