THE ' CAR THAT WILL WORK FOR A MAN
I have looked at the canopied coaches that ride
, Like fillips of the gods on the sea,
And the swaths of their cutting are heavy and wide,
Like a bungalow out on a spree;
I have heard of their gl..ry in story and screed, r
But the more of their glory I scan
The better I know that the car I need
Is a ear that will work for a man.
V
I am not of the gods ; I reside on the earth ;
I am fond of the neighborhood, too,
And I want a machine that will render Its worth
In the things that I want It to do;
And the ship or the gods may be good for the gink
With a million or so in his hoard
T'.ut I know .what I know, and I think what I think,
And A think I will get me a Ford.
I will got It, and settle, and put it to use, '
And the ships of the gods may cavort;
They may run them on hundreds of gallons of juice
But, the Ford gets there first on a quart.
They may sml'e at the little machine that I run.
They may laugh, ifXiey like to, and can,
But the car that I want for myself is the one,
That is worth what it costs to a man.
Joke a Ford an 1 you jike at the sands of the seas
And the leaves when the forests are full;
When a bull rushes into a nest of bees
Is the joko on the bees or the hull?
They are common for everyone has 'em hut me,
And I feel pretty lonesome and bored,
And I want what will be what I want It to be,
So I'm going to buy me a Ford.

HINTS ABOUT ROADS
Uncle Sam Gives Some Advice to As
sist Highway Builders
A recent government bulletin con
tains some helpful suggestions on the
building and upkeep of dirt roads. Re
lieving that this matter may be of
interest to Clackamas county folk,
the Courier herewith reprints some of
the hints offered by the government.
That full value may be. received for
the monev appropriated for road pur
poses and that "the best results ob
tainable may be secured it is essen
tial that the right man shall be plac
ed in charge of road work. He should
be selected not only because he actu
ally knows more about good roads
than any other person in the commun
ity, but also because he can get the
best results from the money furnish
ed. It is not sufficient, however, to
let the matter rest with the appoint
ment of a road overseer. He should
receive the whole-hearted support of
the community in the work. It
should be seen to that under the con
ditions and with the money furnished
the community is getting what it has
a right to expect in the way of road
improvement. It is well to remember
that if for any reason an incompetent
man is placed in charge of the work
the responsibility for failure rests up
on the community. There should be
no other consideration, therefore, in
selecting a road overseer than that of
securing a man with the ability to
perform the duties required. It should
be realized that good roads have much
to do with the prosperity of a com
munity and that united action in the
right direction is the surest and quick
est way to secure them.
To secure a satisfactory road of
any type, it is absolutely necessary to
remember: First, drainage; second,
drainage; and third, drainage. The
earth road, properly cared for, will
answer satisfactorily for the traffic
of many rural sections that can not
afford the better' types of roads; but
the earth road must be well drained.
After this fact is well understood, two
other requirements may be taken up -the
location of the road and the reduc
tion of grades to a general average of
5 per cent.
With the exception of sandy roads,
which are easier for traveling when
damp, all roads must have proper side
ditches to carry away the surface
In order to lead this surface water to
the ditch, the road surface must have
a crown, or rounded roof, highest in
the center and sloping toward the side
ditches. A very easy and satisfactory
way to keep earth, clay and gravel
roads crowned is by the use of the
split-log drag.
After the road has been erowned
and the crown is kept in condition by
the wise use of the road drag, it
should be seen to that ditches are kept
free from weeds, etc., and that they
are deep enough to carry off the
water which runs into them. In most
cases a wide, shallow ditch is best.
Deep ditches are dangerous to traf
fic. At spaces of every few hundred
feet along the roadway a culvert of
some kind should be placed to carry

U"THE HEART OF W
Will Be at The Grand Friday
Mrs. Leslie Carter, David Belasco's
former star, and the leading tragedi
enne of the American stage, will be
seen at the Grand Theatre, Oregon
City, Friday only of this week, in her
great success "The' Heart of Mary
land." As an emotional actress Mrs.
Carter has no equal on the stage to
day; and as a vehicle with which to
exhibit t othe fullest her power of
dramatic art, "The Heart of Mary
land" probably cannot be excelled.
It was in this play that she leaped
into first place in the hearts of the
theatre-going public when che was
under the management of that wiz
zard of stage-craft, David Belasco;
and it is in this great war-drama, also
that she makes her debut in the new
dramatic world offered by the mov
ing pictures.
Mrs. Leslie Carter's art is of the
variety that shows to its best in the
"silent drama," for much of her fame
has been built up upon her power to
portray human emotions by look and
gesture. She does not need the spok
en word to carry her message over
the footlights to her audience; and
those who have seen her both in the
movies and in the older form of ''The
Heart of Maryland'' declare that' her
acting is more appealing and charm
ing in the intensified version of the
war play which is shown upon the
screen. In securing this wonderful
picture of this remarkable actress for
the Grand Theatre, Manager Schram
RAILROAD GIVES SCHOOLS
Southern Pacific Deals in Unique
Form of Charity in Southwest
Bunkhouses or dismantled car bod
ies are being used for school house
purposes on the Southern California
and Arizona desert territory through
whieh the Southern California passes.
As a result, the company is, and has
been able for some time, to provide
school "privileges for every child of
school age on the desert, regardless of
their race or position. In most of the
desert country, the railroad depends
almost entirely upon Mexican labor
for track forces, and the educational
privileges are being eagerly taken
advantage of by the Mexican chil
dren. Before the Southern Pacific took an
active interest in the welfare of its
men in the cactus country, because of
sparse population and isolation there
were not enough residents in the com
munities to make it possible to obtain
funds to put up suitable buildings. To
send the children to distant towns to
school was out of the question, so. that
until Assistant General Manager H. V.
Piatt and Superintendent W. H. Whal
en and T. H. Williams took the mat
ter in hand, a job on the desert had a
disadvantage to the employee with a
family a disadvantage that, happily,
does not now exist. On the Tucson
Division at Mohawk, for instance, the
company recently put up a tie house
for a school and it is one of he bst
patronized by Mexicanc hildnn. At
other points on the division, the com
pany is furnishing drinking water to
nearby public schools. In other Ways
it is aiming to encourage educational
opportunities. For example, the
Los Angeles Division might be said
to be divided into two sections desert
and inside. When a man has worked
on the dseert for some time and his
children get to be of school age, the
railroad endeavors to transfer him to
an inside point where his children
may have the advantages of an edu
cation.

away the water which has gathered in
the ditches.
A road properly built generally will
not have an average grade of more
than 5 per cent. By "per cent of
grade" is meant the number of feet
the road rises or "climbs'' for every
100 feet of its length. On a road of
1 per cent grade the horses heed pull
the load up a rise of only 1 foot for
every 100 feet they travel. It has
been found that where a horse can
pull a full load on level ground; he is
able to pull only one-half that load on
a 5 per cent grade and only one
fourth that load on a 10 per cent
grade. More trips must be made to
and from market on a road with just
one bd hill in order to haul the same
amount that can be hauled at one trip

has scored a distinct "beat" on all
other county houses.
'The Heart of Maryland," written
especially for Mrs. Leslie Carter by
David Belasco, is a thrilling story of
the Civil War, in which heart interest,
spectacular situations, and the pomp,
glory and sadness of war are all por
trayed with telling effeqt. While the
great scene of the play is that in
which Mrs. Carter swings high in the
air from the clapper of the bell in
the belfry tower, so that the signal
for her lover's death shall not be
heard; there are many other situa
tions of breathless interest, and there
are intimate scenes in which the au
dience is moved to tears by the ten
derness of the story being told.
"The Heart of Maryland" is an
American classic, as well as a histor
ical masterpiece; and to see it with
Mrs. Leslie Carter in the leading role
is to witness the greatest of all
American play that the modern stage
has produced. Every patriotic citi
zen,, everybody who had heroic kin
who served in the great struggle to
preserve the union, everybody who
likes a superb play, should take ad
vantage of the opportunity, and see
Mrs. Carter in the Belasco play at
the Grand Friday.
'Knowing the interest that Civil
War veterans will have in viewing the
scenes of that great struggle, Mana
ger Schram has invited all members
of Meade Post, G. A. R., to attend the
production of "The Heart of Mary
land" as his guests.
HOW TO ROTATE CROPS
Federal Advice on Replenishing Food
Values in Soil is Given
The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year,
regardless of the relation of the crops
to each other. The central aim in
all crop-rotation systems - should be
to leave each field in a better state
of cultivation, better physical condi
tion and reasonably free from pests
at the end of each, rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation , system
can be laid down for any community.
but the most profitable system must
be worked out for each farm and, in
deed, for each field. There are cer
tain general principles, however, that
should be borne in mind in this con
nection in order to accomplish the
most satisfactory results. For soil
improvement there should be at least
one leguminous crop in each rotation
cycle. To this class of plants belong
the clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans, et(j.
There should be also a suffcient quan
tity of live stock, especially milch
cows, on eacn larm to utilize tne
roughage and to supply the desired
quantity of stable, manure, whieh, in
addition to green crops plowed under,
will furnish the necessary amount of
humus to the soil.
'The conditions resulting from this
treatment, if the soil is properly han
dled, will make the suceeding crops
more vigorous and capable of offset
ting, in some measure at least, the
effects of any pests that may appear.
Again, the successive crops in any
rotation should be so selected and ar
ranged that no two upon which the
same pest may thrive will be grown
in succession. The principles of dis
ease control by means of crop rota
tion are based upon the fact that cer
tain pests can thrive only on certain
kinds of plants. Therefore, when the
crops are changed and the food sup
ply thereby cut off, the pests must
perish or be greatly reduced in num
ber. WOMEN LOSE FIGHT
Suffrage Recently Denied Fair Sex
in Three Leading Stales
Hopes of women of three leading
eastern states were shattered Tues
day, when amendments in Massachu
setts, New York and New Jersey giv
ing them full suffrage were voted
down by largo majorities. Leaders in
the battle for suffrage say that they
will continue the fight, however, and
that the matter will be brought up at
following elections.
It is perhaps interesting to note
that in the states where suffrage was
defeated, the republican candidates
received general support at the polls.
This would seem to indicate that re
publican organizations in these three
states are opposed to suffrage, and
that the mass of republican voters was
guided by the stand taken by the lead
ers of the party.

"OLD GLORY"
And Why the Town of Sand Hill
Didn't Hoist Him.
By M. QUAD
Copyright, l'Jlo. by McClure News
paper Syndicate.
It was Enos Hopkins who got the
idea that Sand Ulli should prove her
patriotism to the world at large by
dlsplayiu" the American flag for Beveu
days a week. lie gut the idea one Sun
day morula' as ho lay iu bed, aud he
hugged it to his soul and chuckled over
It for u week before lie said unytulng
to a liviu' soul. Everybody knew by
his actions that somethiu' was up.
At length, when Saturday night came
aud there was the usual crowd ut the
postofllce, ho shot off his gnu. He had
bis xpeech all prepared. lie told how
the American flag was first hung to the
breeze; how men cheered for liberty
as they saw It; how It had given hap
piness to millions. Men hud fought
cheerln' for that flag, aud men had
died blessln' It. lie wanted It h'lsled
In Sand Hill at sunrise every day hi
the year, and ho wanted children to
cry for it and men and women to ven
erate It.
As soon as the crowd had recovered
Yrom its surprise and began to cheer
Deacon Black said It was a mighty
strong p'lnt and one worthy of a lead
In' patriot of Sand Hill. He was heart
ily In favor of the Idea, and he would
then and there contribute 13 cents to
ward the purchase of a public flag.
Then llosea Saunders spoke. His
grandfather had died while fightln'
under the stars and stripes. His fa
ther had fallen and killed himself
while climbin' a flagpole. His mother
had wrapped him lu the flag of liberty
when he was born. It was hard times
and money was tight, but he would go
without tobacco for a month in order
to contribute a shlllln' toward the pur
chase of a flag. With his own hands,
if agreeable to all, ho would h'Ist the
emblem at sunrise aud lower It at
sunset durln the rest of his natural
life.
The deacon snid that was also a
beautiful speech, with n mighty strong
p'lnt to it, und the feelln'sof the crowd
hud got so worked up over freedom
and liberty that tears stood in innny
eyes. llosea was followed by Squar'
Joslyn, Philetus Williams, Abraham
White and others, and thai' was fre
quent cheerln' aud shaklu' hands.
About ten years ago Abijah David
sou's dog tore the ear off a hog owned
by Joel Ilardniau, and the men had
been enemies ever since, but under the
excitement and patriotism engendered
by the speeches they fell into each oth
er's urms and became brothers ag'ln.
It was settled that a public contribu
tion should be takeu up to buy a fifteen
dollar flag, aud then came the question
of where it should be raised. Enos
Hopkins, who had started it all, got
up in a modest wny aud said ho would
go to the expense of plantln' n pole in
front of his house. It was on high
ground and the flag could be seeu from
every house In town.
"We wouldn't put Enos to all that
trouble," said Deacon Black as he rose
up. "He's done his sheer, in thlirkln'
out the plan. I'll see that the flag Is
duly displayed from the roof of my
cooper shop when It arrives."
"What's tho matter h'istiu' It over
tnir grocery?" asked Dan Skinner as
he wiped the tears of emotion from his
eyes. "It isn't as high as some places,
but more central."
Then everybody bobbed up aud de
muuded to be beard. Every man pres
eut wanted that flag in front of his
house or place of business und no
where else, and purty soonMhey was
shnkln' their fists and su.vln' they'd
he durned If they wouldn't have It
there or refuse to contribute n red cent
There was a lively row on hi two intu
its, with uo more weepin' over pa
triotism. Deacon Black rattled on the stove
pipe with his cnue until he quieted the
racket, and then he said:
"Feller putriots, have we no public
speerlt among us?"
"We have!" yelled the crowd.
"Then let us exhibit It .Bern" my
cooper shop Is tho highest bulldin' In
town and belli' the American flag has
got to lllpflop In the breeze to be seen
and venerated, 1 unselfishly offer to
put up a pole and take charge of the
flag."
"So do II" shouts every man In the
crowd.
Then Squar' Joslyn made a speech.
He told how a million men had died
for that flag, how its stars and bars
had made tyrants tremble, bow a
young nation had worshiped It and
mude all the world respect It. He
wound up after ten nilults by olTerin'
to float It from his boss barn, but only
hisses and groans followed. There wus
signs that three or four patriots woull
soon be punchln' each other's heads
when Tom Bates strolled In In that
cureless way of his. Deacon Bhuk
pounded and nil tied till he got order
and then said:
"1 want to hear from Tom Bates on
this matter. Mebbe he can suggest
suuthin. Tom, what place lu town
would you sny the American flag ought
to float from?"
"How many stars are there In the
American flag?" calmly asked Tom.
Nobody could tell.
"Well, how inuny stripes?"
Nobody could tell.
" 'Pears to me," said Tom as he start
ed to wander out ng'ln " 'pears to me
thut as none of you can tell the differ
ence between the American flag and n
tablecloth you'd better hang up an old
army blanket most anywhere and let It
go at that!"
And at the end of five mlnlts more
there wasn't a patriot left in the post
office, and nothln' more bos ever been
said about buyln' a public flag.

Oregon swine breeders can help
solve the problem of good breeding
stock for girls and boys of the pig
clubs by sending to the club leader at
O. A. C, Corvallis, a list of brood sows
and gilts that they have for sale. This
should also help the breeders find a

stuff. When these lists are received
by the agent he will send them to
club members making inquiries.
Lists should be detailed enough to
give intending purchasers an idea of
the quality and other necessary points.
Either pure breds or high grades may
be enlisted for sale. Address lists to
