Midnight Monologue
Mi. Hates drops into the store
after lodge meeting and noes ver
li is liooks to S(e how lie stands.
"fiosli ! It's no use. I've cither
got to get a new bookkeeper or a new
business. Sales are 0. K, better
than last year but where in Sam
Hill are the profits? It ain't reas
onable that, I could, do the grocery
business of the town and be in the
hole. I wonder can the trade on tea
aud coffee be faUing off. Maybe we
ought, to push the profitable lines
more providing there are any prof
itable lines. Perhaps it's costing me
more to do business on account, of
the war 'or tariff.
"I tell you it's no cinch to guess
the right answer in the grocery busi
ness. A Veil anyway, it's midnight
and I am going home. I'll make
Dobbs go over his figures again in
the morning and see if he can't
juggle out a little profit- for the
month."

The Telephone Call
"When Mr. Bates got down to
the store next morning, his stern re
solve to put a little ginger into his
bookkeeper was defeated by the fact
that the latter was reported sick in
bed. However, bills were coming
Irk
due and the bank hadn't been any
too willing on the last loan, so some
thing had to be done. He recalled a
recent visit of a salesman who had
entertained the preposterous idea of
selling him a
"Say, there may be something
in this Adding Machine idea after
all. Uuess I'll call up that Bur
roughs chap ami see what he's got.'
"Hello Main 7241 said 7-2-4
No, I wana Main Main 724.
"Hello, is this Burroughs?
This is Bates the grocer. Say. how
much profit can your machine show
on $1,000 worth of business? 111111!
Ob! very -well, Home on over. My
bookkeeper is losing his speed
hasn't, shown any profit for two
months."

CIIAPT. Ill
Facts, Not Gues Work
Mr. Bates is seen studying a
report prepared by his bookkeeper
with the aid of his new Bnrroguhs;
He calls for his head clerk.
"Say, Bill, you got to put more
thought on our fresh fruit trade
we lost exactly $21. on fruit last
month. And see if you can't dope
up some way to get more trade on
specialty crackers that's one of our
most profitable lines. That's all
now. Tell Pete I want to see hiin."
"Pete you are slowing up.
Last month you sold f 123 less than
Sam. Moreover, Sam sold stuff Ave
make a good profit on, while judging
from profits on your sales you must
have the idea' we only handle sugar
and kerosene. f . T didn't make a cent
on you. Brace up, Pete, remember
a job's a job. That's all.!'
There are over !H),000 mer
chants using Burroughs Figuring
Machines right now. Every retail
merchant can use a Burroughs to
stop leaks and make more profits
just as Bates did. We will gladly
show von how.

WITH CARRIE GONE
Ten Nights in Bar'room in Movies
Will be Reminder of Past
Charlie Schram, who gives the
people what they want at the Grand
theatre, is offe'ring for Friday "Ten
Nights in a Bar-room'' in five reels.
There is something appropriate in
''reels" n the bar-room classic, but
aside from that Charlie says he is go
ing to have a good show that will be
"better than a hundred temperance
lectures." That is quite possible
some temperance lectures drive folks
to drink.
Charlie's one regret is that Carrie
Nation, who no longer inhabits this
mundane sphere, will not be with the
show. "Ten Nights" .was invented
long before Carrie became famed, but
the show made its biggest success
when Carrie "walked on" in it, and
when she chaperoned her niece, who
was an actress; and who used to eat
brandy drops provided by the report
ers off stage, while an exactly sim
ilar box, containing chocolate creams,
was given to Carrie.
Without Carrie, however, the show
will be worth while. It portrays
many things, including the "snakes"
that are supposed to lie hidden in the
bottom of the cup. The old show
never offered the snakes but the
movies are better than old style
drama. Make a- date with yourself
for Friday, and see "Ten Nights,"
which ought to be seen by everybody
once.
In Many Caes It Is an Important
Agent In the Production of Diabetes,
Gout, Goiter, Chronio Heart Disease
and Other Physical Troubles.
With the possible exception of those
lu the period of happy childhood, every
one Is nt Wines a victim of worry. Iu
fact, the average Individual thinks of
and accepts worry much as he thinks
of and accepts disagreeable weather
conditions as one of the bitter things
of life which must be taken with the
sweet In other words, he regards It
as a fact, but does not attempt . to
analyze it
The wisest thinkers of all times have
recognized the condition, and many
well known writers have expressed
their views of its psychology. What
has not been sufficiently recognized,
however, until very recently, is the
Importance of worry, not merely in
itself, as implying the absence of hap
piness, but as the cause of Ills fur
greater than Itself, the cause predis
posing to secondary manifestations
which would otherwise have been es
caped altogether.
Having fully comprehended this fact,
the next logical step in scientific pro
gression is to determine the exact mech
anism by which these disturbances
are brought about. Through the con
joined efforts of psychologists and
physiologists we are Just beginning to
reach the true physical basis of this
important subject
The keynote of worry is beyond doubt
a disturbance of the mind, says Dr.
Erie D. Forrest in the Medical Kecord
It may he defined as the restless con
sclousness of all incumbrances which
we accept under protest
To elaborate this definition, it is the
mind's unrest about anything which
concerns us, whether it relates to our
future, our dear ones, a cause we have
espoused, our happiness, our salvation,
our nienns of support, our position in
life, our health, our fate or our success
in general. It does not consist solely
In our interest in all these things; it 19
rather a disquietude arising' from a
feeling of helplessness before the vari
ous chances and clnlins of life.
The popular opinion seems to bo that
the mental condition is one of depres
sion, possibly becuuse the physical
manifestations are chiefly depressive
la nature. The fact cannot bo too
strongly emphasized, however, that the
primary mentnl condition is one of
overactivity and, moreover, overactiv
ity along lines of fixed ideas.
Without taking up individually the
phases of worry brought about by the
various speclllc causes the physical
manifestations of worry in general
may be said to be depression of respi
ration, sighing, disturbances in rate
and force of heart boat, vasomotor
changes, disturbances in secretion, pal
lor, cold extremities, relaxation and
decreased motility of the alimentary
tract, dilatation of the pupil, loss of
weight, Insoiuuiu and general physical
exhaustion.
These disturbances may vary in their
prominence and may appear as groups
of symptoms characterizing well known
diseases. Thus worry is sometimes an
important ngent in the production of
dlnbetes, gout, exophthalmic goiter and
chronic heart disease.
Inasmuch as worry is primarily a
disease of the mind,' and since every
portion of the body is intimately con
nected with every other part by a net
work of nervous tissue of great com
plexity, we naturally seek for the
causes of these manifestations, first of
nil, in the nervous system.
In every Individual at a given time
there is a limited nmouut of potential
energy Btored up in the cells of the
brain. This function seems to rest in
the chromatin granules of the nerve
cells, and it has been shown repeal
edly that a liberation of nervous en
ergy, whether in response to a psychic
or sensory stimulus, rosulls in a physi
ological degeneration of the chromatin
granules, and consequently of the cells
themselves. Obviously a prolonged dis
charge of nervous energy diminishes
by so much the amount left in the
brain cells. Furthermore, stimuli of
sufficient number, Intensity or dura
tion may cause exhaustion and death.
ficers and the sheriff "have made
several creditable catches of criminals.''
Let's hear about them. Let the
Enterprise publish a list of these
creditable catches." Let them name
one, single, bona fide "pinch" that the
sheriff has made that has been prov
ed to be connected with any of the
robberies that have made Clackamas
county a criminal joke since the first
of the year.

Bees Take Dislike to Sandy Man, and
Show it Pointedly
D. L. Erdman, a farmer of the
Sandy district, and a fancier of
honey-makers, had a perfectly good
hot time last week when he endeavor
ed to teach some of his winged pets
that he knew more about their busi
ness than they did. The bees had
left the hive provided for them, and
swarmed elsewhere.
Mr. Erdman went out and reason
ed with them, and this failing to have
the desired effect he tried to lead the
honey-makers in the direction which
he had planned out for them. At
this the bees became quite active
and some time afterwards friends
found Mr. Erdman lying unconscious
on the ground. He was carried to
the house, and it took a local doctor
over an hour before he was able to
evive the bee faddist.
The bees, after settling accounts
with their fancier, went their own
sweet way, and located a place for
their hive which is entirely satisfac
tory to them. Mr. krdman says
they may stay there.
Front Page Excitement in the Ore
gonian Seems a little Forced
Saturday of last week the Oregon-
ian printed as alleged news on its
front page the place where impor
tant revelations are supposed to be
made when they don't conflict with
its policy the statement that some
California chef declared. that women
are heartier eaters than men, and al
so the additional statement that in
sane patients in a California asylum
enjoyed baseball.
Any mere man who has taken his
best girl out to supper after the
show knows that women have mar
vellous appetites; and as for the in
sane enjoying baseball California
and the Oregonian are way behind the
times. At the Western Washington
Hospital for the Insane, at Steila
coom, baseball has been a fixture for
five years, and the "nut" team plays
with regular nines in the neighbor
hood and usually beats them, while
the "nut" fans go wild in true base
ball style,
The trouble with the Oregonian is
that it loves its California corres
pondent too well, and will print any
sort of bunk from the land oi pop
pies, tourists and tuberculosis.
Schools to Exhibit
County Superintendent Calavan is
planning a series of exhibits of school
work at the county fair at Canby this
September. Prizes will be offered
for displays of domestic science and
; art work, manual training work,
poultry, dairy and agricultural work
and displays. Mr. Calavan will have
! charge of the exhibits and expects
a better display than was obtained
from the county schools last year.
MEETING OF BOYS' CLUB HELD
Courier and Western Stock Journal, $1,50 year
At the meetng of the Boys' Club
of Oregon City last Tuesday evening
it was decided to continue the can
vass for members. A considerable
number was already secured, but it
was thought best to have a large
meeting next Friday evening, July 2,
at the Congregational church, of all
who have enrolled. At this time of
ficers will be chosen.
There are to be two departments,
one for boys 12 to 15 years of age
inclusive, and the other 16 years and
upward. Frank Juhnke, Earl Pad
dock, Birdsell Ladd, Ray Morris and
others are securing members.
The first aim of the club will be
to secure a play ground. Member
ship dues are to be 25c to 35c a
month. It is not necessary to pay

NEWS THAT ISN'T
OREGON GETS GOLD MEDAL
International Jury Awards Stale the
State Prize at Frisco Fair
In competition with exhibits of
similar products from other states
and a number of foreign countries,
Oregon received the gold medal for
eeneral excellence of its horticultur
al display at the Panama-Pacific Ex
position at San Francisco a few days
ago. This award was maae Bincuy
on merit The jury was composed of
12 men, 7 from the East, two from
Japan, two from California and one
from Holland. They made a care
ful detailed inspection of every ex
hibit in the hall and without hesita
tion awarded the medal to Oregon.
The display was installed by C
N. Ravlin, head of the Oregon Horti
cultural Society and himself a suc
cessful rancher of the Hood River
Valley. In arranging the booth, he
made no attempt at ornamentation
concentrating his efforts on so ar
ranging the almost faultless collec
tions of fruits, vegetables' and other
products that the attention of the
visitor would be instantly centered on
the display and not on its surround
ings. Oregon has a right to feel
mighty proud of this victory.

List of Chautauqua Talent Shows
Guarantee of Fine Program.
Cost Is Nominal.
Look over the following list of those
who will appear here under auspices of
the summer Chautauqua and see if
there Is a single one whom you would
not be much interested in hearing if
your time will permit you to attend
each session.
In the way of music there are Cirlcll-
lo and his great Italian band. This
organization is playing a return en
gagement, as it covered the western
Chautauqua s last season, and the de
mand for its return 'was so univer
sal that the bureau engaged it to
come back in 1915 with a larger band,
a larger number of soloists, and inci
dentally Cirlcillo gets , considerably
more money, it is said.
There are the Saxony Opera Singers,
who present In costume grand and
light opera sung In English. The Schu
ninnn Quintet, playing strings, is the
highest priced organization of its class
in the United States, nnd the "II Tro
vatore" Grand Opera Singers nre anoth
er stellar attraction. II. lluthven Jlnc
Douald aud his wifo are other addi
tions to the musical program, and the
Alpine Vodlers, consisting of seven peo
ple, will draw a big crowd.
The following are the lecturers: Colo

Mrs. A. C. Zehncr. Nelson S. Darling.
The above does not take into consid

by Chautauquas.
By securing a season ticket all this
can be enjoyed at a cost of less than

'rivalc Detective "Wants In" on Ar
denwald Case Again
George Thatcher, a private detec
tive who hangs out in Portlund, has
asked peace officers to go out and
grab Edward Ramsey, whom George
says can be cinched for the Arden
wald murders if George is allowed to
give "evidence" which he hus secur
ed that would be of inestimable value
to the state.
It is remarkable how rapidly news
travels. The county court recently
and quietly slipped this Levings party
another private detective the $2,
000 that a Washington county award
ed him for his "work" on the Arden
wald cuse. Probably having heard of
that, Thatcher sees a chance to get
in and rake out some coin, too or
maybe it is safe betting that the
county's evidence is better than
George Thatcher's.
DROP IN AGAIN
Tuesday afternoon a stranger who
had been in the city drove out of
town bv way of the Seventh street
hill. When he negotiated part of the
distance he suddenly pitched from his
wagon to the street. Before the
horse could stop, the wheels passed
over the man's prostrate form. Spec
tators stood horror-stricken, but the
stranger picked himself up, climbed
back to the seat of his vehicle, and
slanoed the reins.
As he drove away he turned
around and said: "Thank you, gentle
men, for your trouble.'
It is presumed that he was thank
ing the council for the excellent re
pair in which they keep the pavement
of the Seventh street hill.
