RIGHT BACK AT 'EM Story of Cupid on Phone Line Brings Sharp Retort from Somebody Recently the Courier had a few mirthful remarks to say about a ro mance that was being enjoyed by pa trons of division 9 of the Highland telephone line. As far as the Courier could see there was no malice in the tale; but somebody who signs herself "Young Lady on Division 9 of the Highland Telephone Service" takes umbrage at the story, and has sent in the following: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY In speaking of a person's faults Pray don't forget your own; , Remember these, with homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin, irf is better we commence at home And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried; Should we not like his company We know the world is wide Some may have faults and who has none ? The old as well as young; Perhaps we may for all we know Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan You 11 find it works full well: Try hard your own defects to cure Before of others' tell. And though I often hope to be No worse than some I know; My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. So let us all, when we commence To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word can do To those we little know. Remember, curses, sometimes like Our chickens, roost at home Don't speak of others' faults until You have none of your own. The Courier isn't quite certain who is being given this verbal spanking but at the request of the young lady on division 9 we print it anyway AID FOR JEWS PLANNED Live Wires Organibe Committee to ' Collect Funds for Poland To aid in the nation-wide move ment to provide relief and succor for the suffering Jews in Poland, the Live Wires.of the Oregon City Commer cial club have appointed a committee to conduct a local relief campaign.

FINE FLOW OF WORDS Amateur Correspondent even Forgets to Use Personal Pronoun A splendid war correspondent was lost to the journalistic field when a Larkins, Pa., young man enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Shortly after enlistment the Lar kins boy found himself in Haiti with the Marine Corps expenditionary force and, in a letter to Sergeant Frank Stubbe of the recruiting station, he wrote, concerning the occupation of that Caribbean isle by the force of sea soldiers, "a mutinous, riotous, se ditious and tumultously violent party of Cacos barred our way to Haut de Cap. Their heedlessness, rashness, and precipitancy led them to attack our party, but they certainly found it a dismal, forlorn and piteous task, for we disposed of them with neatness and dispatch." "Our only loss in that battle was the correspondent's 'I,' .... was Ser geant Stubbe's comment. Since 1908, there have been taken from the national forests five billion feet of wood and timber products.

HUMANE HINT GIVEN Correspondent Writes on "Feed thei Birds" Plan, and Such Things . j Editor, Courier: I have noted in' the papers lately suggestions that during the "most unusual weather," when the snow lies in a thick mantle over everything, that it is a humane and kindly thing to feed the birds. Now by nature I am a kindly man, so upon reading this suggestion I raided the pantry in the absence of friend wife, and distributed on the front porch the crumbs of three bis cuits that my wife had tried to get me to eat at breakfast; and also three sausages that Were left over from Sat urday night's supper. And the experiment proved a suc cess. At once there were about a half dozen snow-birds and three Alas ka robins on the porch, happily peck ing at the provender I had provided. I was much pleased with myself, and was thinking how nice it was that we could feed the birds, when my reverie was disturbed by a commotion on the porch. Looking out I observed my neigh bor's black cat licking its whiskers, and looking longingly at several tufts of feathers. Also there were no birds. The cat then smelled of the biscuit crumbs, passed them up, and ate the remainder of the sausage. Going to the cupboard behind the stove, I carefully drew forth my bur-glar-welcomer, a Colt's .45, and creas ing two of the cartridges, I again went to the porch and made use of the smoke-wagon. The first bullet stop ped the cat's nine lives, and the sec ond bullet splintered up the front steps and ricochetted across the street and through my neighbor's front win dow. Continuing on its way it smash ed the reading lamp on their table, punctured the air-tight heater, and finally embedded itself in the wall, just back of the only picture my neighbor has of his mother-in-law. Incidental ly it punctured the picture, too. In view of that my neighbor for gave me, and joins with me in sug gesting that not only should people "feed the birds," but that they should also "shoot the cats," and so be truly humane. Trusting you may think this advice worthy of being passed on to your readers, I beg to subscribe my self, T. LORD C. GOOD CHILDREN SLEEP And Children Who Sleep are Good, too, Says Expert from Abroad "One result of insufficient sleep is juvenile crime," said Miss Ravenhill, formerly of King's College, London, in an address to Oregon home-makers, at the Agricultural College. Miss Ravenhill made her investigations among the schoolchildren if Great Britain and found that most of them lose from three to four hours of the sleep they should have each day, some even more. "The only way to get rid of fatigue," said she, "is by sleep, since fatigue is a poison caused by activity without rest. "We have frequently heard it said that change of occupation is rest, but it is not. There is an advantage in fatigue in that it warns us when we need rest, but over-fatigue has bad effects, sometimes permanently bad. Just as continual stoking of a fur nace without cleaning out the ashes causes it to burn more and more poor ly, so insufficient sleep keeps us from living as we should live. "The fatigue poison has a stimu lating effect at first on the nervous system, under the influence of which boys are apt to do deeds that seem to them deeds of daring, which in sober moments they would not do. They are literally influenced through loss of sleep. "We must set our faces against evening entertainments for children. Many school children are sent to bed at a seasonable hour during the week but this rhythm is broken for them on one or two days of the week. This ir regularity is very injurious and sitting up one night cannot be made up for by the regularity of many nights." TROUBLES FOR MOVIES Films Can No Longer be Carried on Passenger Cars, Is Rule As a further step to safeguard the lives of passengers from accident, Western railroads on the first of Feb ruary, will prohibit the carrying of motion picture films in passenger cars. The celluloid of which the films are made is a highly combustible sub stance, and the fear that a chance con tace with fire might end in disaster. This action follows that already taken by railroads of the East and Middle West. A passenger on a sub urban train running out of Chicago recently carried into the combination smoking and baggage car four reels of motio picture films and placed it on the floor between the seats. In some way, presumably by a lighted match dropped by a smoker, the films were set off and an explosion decurred in which 38 persons were badly burn ed, two fatally. As a result railroads are no longer willing to submit their customers to such a hazard. When films are sent by express they can be inspected when received for shipment, and carried in the safe man ner laid down by the packing rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This ruling has been recommended by the American Railway Association, the Bureau for Safe Transportation of Explosives. Many unemployed men, some of them bringing along their families, have come to the county seat recent ly, thinking that the published reports in Portland papers about the enlarge ment of the Hawley mills in Oregon City meant that work was plentiful here. On arrival they find that there are no enlarged mills, and that the little work that is being done in mak ing way for the proposed improve ment is being entirely cared for by local labor. The Woman's club has "staked" several such families to money enough to leave the county seat A Queer Case. Of Suicide . By WILLIAM BLAKEMAN I am a Russian with a name so un pronounceable by English speaking peo ple that I call myself Hawks. My real reason for assuming a name was that t was Implicated In an assassination scheme, was given away by a fellow conspirator and fled the country before the police could lay a hand on me. Being informed that the Russian gov ernment had put the American police on my track with a trumped up charge of embezzlement In order to secure my extradition, I took another name. 1 was very poor, and, not daring to re main in one place long enough to gain a foothold by work, I adopted the pro fession of tramp. , Duriug my wanderings I fell In with a man who much resembled me. He was an Austrian Pole who had come to this country to better his condition, but had not succeeded. He bad be come a tramp, like myself, in order to gain a living. We became very good friends and tramped together that Is, we slept in the same places at night Slilmsky that Is the name he gave me Anally fell sick. We were camp ing In a wood at the time, and, since be objected to going to a hospital, I made him as comfortable as I could, provided for his necessities and nursed him. Had I realized how ill be was I would not have consented to this. One night Slilmsky grew suddenly worse and died in the early morning. While looking on the body, considering what action I should take, noticing bis resemblance to myself, a plan for throwing the police off my track oc curred to me. I ran a knife Into bis heart, spattered blood from my own arm on bis shirt and pinned to his clothing a paper on which I had writ ten the following: This Is the body of Paul Xlmanowsky, alias James Hawks, a Russian, who was Implicated In the Ivanovltch assassination In Russia. He has been killed by one of his own countrymen, a kinsman of the man he assassinated. , I left the body unburled and set off tramping. A week later I was arrest ed while passing through a small town and charged with murder. I had been seen in company with Shlmsky, and the local police had been put on my track. Here was a dilemma. I was wanted by one set of police to be sent to Rus sia to be tried for the murder of Ivano vltch and by another for the murder of myself. As Xlmanowsky I was dead and could not be killed any more; as Shlmsky I would be tried for my own murder, and there was every chance that I would be convicted. If "Bo 1 wodld be punished for killing a dead man. However, thus far my ruse in throw ing the police off the track of the man wanted In Russia was successful. The very prominence that the case was given in the newspapers helped this feature, for those hired by the Rus sian government to arrest me seeing an account of how I hod been mur dered abandoned the pursuit, sending an account of my demise to Russia. If I could get off from the charges of having murdered myself my troubles would be ended. But how could I hope to do this without telling the whole story and being taken to Russia as my self? Not being able to employ an attorney to defend me tho court assigned me one. I explained the situation to him. He believed my story and at once took a deep interest in my case, remarking, "This Is the prettiest problem I have met since I became a lawyer." Then be left me to think out a plan to clear me without giving away my true char acter. There was one point In my favor those who had been pursultig me for the Russian government had been eliminated so long as I was not known to be their quarry. On this fact my counsel banked. The day nfter he left me a man came to my cell and asked me to write a statement ns to where I was at the time my murder was committed. I did so, claiming to have left the murdered man two days before ho died, but that I couldn't exactly re member where I bad been for the next few days. My trial came off soon after this. I did not see my couusel in the mean while and wondered why he bad not visited me, fearing that he had failed to hit upon a plan for my defense. When I was led Into court, however, be smiled at me, as much as to say, "Don't worry; It will como out all right." He called the man to whom t hnd given the statement and asked him if he bad seen me write It Then he called a woman who had befriend ed me and to whom I bad sent a tri fling gift with a letter. This letter I had signed James Hawks. "Your honor," said my counsel, "my client has been accused of killing him self, which is Impossible. I ask for a quashing of the Indictment and that be be set at liberty." The judge took the matter under ad visement but my counsel, who feared that delay would put the Russian gov ernment's police on my track, argued with him so strongly that be conclud ed to set mo free. The lawyer at once came to me with the good news. "You get!" he snld, "and lose your Belf next time some other way." I doubt If the Russian sleuths ever heard of the denouement for I never learned afterward that they resumed their efforts to find me. After this affair I settled In one place under another name, married and pros pered. Fifth and sixth grade pupils of the Oak Grove school recently gave a sur prise party for Miss Naomi Kinder.

EVENING UP ACCOUNTS Feeding the Birds Pays Them for eat ing Bugs and Weed Seed "Feeding the birds in snowy weath er is only squaring our accounts with the birds," says Professor G. F. Sykes zoologist of the Oregon Agricultural College. "The few handfuls of grain thrown out for the birds during the recent snowstorm will bring the best returns of the year. Many a little bird-guardian, robin, blue-bird, siskin, gold finch or Junco, who came months ago to clean up the weed seeds of last season or' to catch the cutworm and leather Jacket lurking in the turnip or grass fields, was going about hun gry and with cold feet. Many of them also have perished with the cold. "An examination of the stomach contents of birds during an open win ter shows them to be at such a time entirely beneficial. In one robin's stomach were found 210 March fly larvae, and a China Pheasant had eaten 673 larvae at a single meal. These grubs resemble cutworm and are a serious pest on root crops, grass and alfalfa. Moreover, five Juncos were found to have destroyed in a single morning 275 May weed seed, 101 wild grass seeds, and 301 pigweed seeds. Thus the Juncos, together with the siskins and green-backed finches, make away with millions of noxious weed seeds in the course of an or dinary winter season. "With the snow deep on the ground the birds were having a hard time. They have no deep seated hostility towards us even though we have chided some of them for helping them selves to cherries or wheat during the summer. So they may be encouraged to take food put out on the window ledges. In his bird-feeding Professor Sykes has found that the covers of baking powder boxes, lard pails, etc., make admirable food trays for putting out bird food. Small grain, cracked corn, wheat or barley, even rolled cereals, put out in such receptacles or in Wooden troughs, may be placed on the window ledge, the roof or porch of out buildings or on tops of fence posts. Crumbs from the table, too, were appreciated by the birds.

TUESDAY BUSY DAY Funny how it Never Rains but It Pours; even In Paper Matters Tuesday, the day when the north ern part of the county had such a good imitation of a silver thaw that even the oldest inhabitants couldn't tell the diiference, was a busy day at the Courier shop. Bright and early in the morning Postmaster Haggemann, of Milwau kie, flagged one of the Courier re porters and jumped on him for that little story last week about two girls having put the Milwaukie post office out of business by breaking a window. Mr. Haggemann said the story was all wrong that two girls didn't have a fight, but that six girls had all tried to get out of the door at the same time. And he wanted it put straight in the paper. Then in town the cheerful chorus continued. The Courier's attentiion was called to the fact that it had got off wrong on a divorce case last week that's straightened out elsewhere. And then came Councilman Roy B. Cox, Sunday school superintendent and originator of the "silent vote" in the council, and flagged a Courier man on the street and wanted to know why the Courier was all the time knocking the cold storage business in which Mr. Cox has a share. Readers of the Courer who have seen any "knocks" on the Cox plant are invited to tell us about them that is, all sensible readers who haven't got the acute and supersensitive acumen of the honor able councilman. After Mr. Cox had got through relieving his feelings about this pa per, and the reporter had duly re ported to the office; in came by mail the poem published elsewhere in this issue, and in which a haymaker slam is taken at somebody maybe the Courier. Then late in the evening there wandered in an irate citizen who wanted the Courier to force the city to clean the sidewalk in front of the fire-hall on Main street. Tuesday was sure a busy day with us. HERE'S WHERE WE RENIG Mistake in Reporting Divorce Case Was Due to Carelessness This is something that no paper likes to do; but it is also something that any honest paper is glad to do when the circumstances arise. In other words this is where the Courier admits it got something wrong, and cheerfully corrects it. Last week in reporting the Van Auken divorce case, the bright , young man who gathers some news for the Courier got ex cited, and got things wrong. The facts are these: Through his attorney, B. N. Hicks, Earl D. Van Auken sometime ago filed suit for divorce from Mrs. Mae C. Van Auken, and on January 25 the case was heard by Judge Campbell. Mrs. Van Auken did not bother to seek representation at the trial, and the case was decided in favor of Mr. Van Auken and a decree of divorce given him. Mr. Van Auken, in his complaint, charged that though he had married Mae C. Van Auken in June, 1908, she left him in August, 1910, and since that time has refused to live with him. He says that at the time of their mar riage he gave her all his personal property, consisting of horses, cattle, hogs, chickens and household effects; but that Mrs. Van Auken failed to appreciate this, and accused him of being intimate with other women, treated him in a cruel and inhuman manner, and nagged him constantly, developig an unreasonably jealous disposition.
