OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, DECEMBER 19, 1918 12 CORRESPONDENCE (Continued from Page 6) Dick Skinner and family moved back to Canby this fall. They are living in the Billy Kruger house. Mr. Gobel is still sawing wood in the bottom for different parties. " James Wilkerson and wife, who live Canbv a few days ago. Mr. Wilkerson carried the mail here for a number of years. There have been some Christmas trees shipped from here already. Polk Gribble was in Canby on Fri day. He has raised a fine band of turkeys this year. Irvin Wheeler has a real estate of fice in Canby at present. We understand that some people from Oklahoma came to Canby a few days ago, and several of them had the influenza,. Don't know how they are at present. We are having a lot of ram here lately. It is claimed that it is heal thy for Oregon. We hope it is. Harvey Bissel has come back to Canby. . . ' Mrs. Cochran was calling on friends Sunday. ' . ... Lillian Wheeler is staying with mr T1 -4. - nnf Mrs. iiape av pieacni.. Oliver Bailey, who lives on the Canteratte place, was in Canby trad ing on Saturday. . Mr. Coe is still peddling applpes in these parts. He had a large crop this year.- . MACKSBURG School has again been closed on ac count of several cases of "Flu" in our district. Julius Ganske came home on Sat urday after spending one month witn 1.1.1 i Pnnla Taurine his relatives m viwu. absence his family were ill with the "Flu" but have now fully recovered. The family of Adolph Kraxberger is ill with the Spanish Influenza. Rudolph Etzel has gone to Oregon City to work in the mills. Rufus Kraxberger, George LaMour and John Kummer, who were with the "colors," have come home to stay. Mr. and Mrs. John Etzel have re ceived word that their son, William, has been seriously ill, but is now getting along nicely. He is station ed at Camp Lewis. The first toll of Influenza victim in our vicinity was that of Henry Goeb el, who passed away on Sunday, De cember 15. Charles Kraxberger and daughter, Charlotte, were in Portland two days last week on business. Rev. Lucas was an Oregon City visitor several days last week. Miss Elsie Kraxberger has gone to work at Milwaukie. ' CHERRTVILLE Merry Christmas to all and sundry. All soldiers who get back in time will surely be shown a Merry Christ mas. , . We are ostensibly Christians but we have so far failed to live up to the sublime doctrines of the Prince of Peace. Perhaps we shall do better in the future. Let us hope so at least. It is to the credit of human ity with all of their faults and frail ties that they admire and reverence the character of Christ, miserably as they have failed to live1 up to the Golden Rule. Carnegie's daughter is about to be married and will fall heiress to more than $50,000,000. Let's see, wasn't it Carnegie that said it was a dis grace for a man to die rich ? Hor absurd sound some of the ex kaiser's speeches, uttered in his pride five qr ten years ago. "I will lead you into glorious days," he says when speaking to his people. Instead he led over a million of them into bloody graves and more than twice that number into a crippled condi tion for life, besides heaping on the rest of them a mountain of debt. W. G. Webber went to Portland last week and was treated for a dis location of one of the verterbrae of his spinal column by a chiropractic doctor, and says he has never felt so well in many years. The cases of the "Flu" are nearly all over here. As Boon as people quit talking about it they don't have it . Archie Averill writes from France that as soon as news of the armis tice reached our lines the soldiers went wild with joy. All work was stopped and a parade was formed, which led to a nearby town, where a splendid ovation was given them, and a speech was made by the French mayor, who told the "Yanks" that they saved his country from de struction by the bloody Huns. The French helped us in the Revolution and now they are paid back. What did Yankee Doodle do, do, doj Oh, what did Yankee Doodle do? He flew across the ocean With the Red, White, and Blue! He fought on land and, in the air And on the deep blue sea And everywhere and all the time He fought for Liberty. He did not fight fr glory, Or land to claim his own, But to hurl the bloody kaiser From his high and lofty throne. He carried the starry banner Through the pleasant land of France,' And many a gallant Frenchman Gave it a joyous glance. He fought the brutal Hun On many a bloody field, And always won the fight, Nor not an inch did yield. All honor to this gallant band, Who fought in land and sea And won great and high renown, And made the whole world free. And now they are coming home The ships are on the main We'll welcome them with open arms And give them glad acclaim. SOLDIER WANTS WORK WANTED: Work, by discharged soldier. Has Ford car that can be used in work. Phone 29F11, or ad dress B, Courier Office, Oregon City. TWILIGHT Really your correspondent has been flattered. Several in our community have missed the Twilight items, A more favorable fall and early winter is difficult to conceive, and the growing grain evidences that fact. It has also been appreciated "by live stock and the farmers short of feed. Herman Scheer, wife and two chil dren, have returned to this county after a two-years' residence in Wy oming. . Mrs. Curtis Dodds spent the latter part of last week in Portland with her husband. The Pacific highway road work be ing completed in this section will be felt by a number of our community who have benefitted thereby the past six months. Bradl, King and Jenison are hav ing wood cut, for the market, in this vicinity. It requires feed to make pork and, if a disbeliever of this doctrine, you should visit a "town farmer's" hog lot in this neighborhood. L. E. Bently and family recently visited the former's father in the Marquam district. A stag card party at A. H. Har veys, a "Flinch" game for the kiddies at Mrs. King's, together with a so cial event given at the home of Miss Florence Bently to the sixteen-year-olds, aided in passing the stormy weather of the past 10 days. . As a community, we claim the dis tinction of a chairman of the Board of Education, who sends his first grade children to another school, and still claim is made of our hostility, and lack of confidence. Our "Flu" victims are all making a rapid recovery. The F. C. Helm property recently disposed of at public auction, brought considerably less than its real value, A case of inclement weather, light attendance and purchasers of com modities they did not need. Mrs. Tom Kelland and children visited Mr, and Mrs. Dick Kelland, of Portland, last week, and incident ally, flirted with Santa Claus. Your correspondent has been plac ed at the head of the Red Cross ef fort for this district, and is hopeful of his ability to make a one hundred per cent record for our community. We have passed over the summit, in every war request made on us thus far. Some have surpassed their ability, while an extremely small minority have said "Let George do it," but as a whole we shine, and to the great majority, let me express my appreciation of their reception, to me and my deputies, whenever approach ed on the needs of our Uncle Sam. As a whole no more generous community exists, nor more enthusiastic Loyal ists. Actually we were met at the front gate, purse in hand awaiting our dictation as to how much we wanted. Mrs. King is entertaining ' the "school mom," and is succeeding im mensely, judging from the teacher's affable greeting each morning. Old Germany thought it was crip pling France for life, when in 1870 it assessed an indemnity of a million dollars in addition to the cession of Alsace-Lorraine. What must be the abject terror 'of the German people on approaching the peace conference of the Allies, with the prospect of inheriting a burden in excess of a hundred billion, a result of their world empire aspirations, and it tak ing preference to their own war debt of approximately thirty billion. The Red Cross society has recently finished a quilt, which will be sold at auction New Year's Eve, when an en tertainment, followed by refresh ments, occurs. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Harvey will be entertained Christmas by their son, Clyde, at Seattle, their first va cation together for a .good many years. The old Oregon worm fence, un happily betrays the meanderings of many well thought of people. In fact the most of us can recall some of its crooks, and still out of jail. A. E. Little has recently added a fireplace to their already cosey home. With the object in view of connect ing the South End with the Central Point road, viewers will shortly make a survey of the proposed highway, which has its western terminus at the Twilight school building. It will be a great . convenience to the community from both a school and social view point. The right of way has been largely donated, further evincing the excellent community spirit. tWp i snme talk of a new com munity hall for this neighborhood. A niK-ation for discussion before the literary society is: "Is a wife's Refusal to Dig Up the fnce ol a Pig, Sufficient Grounds for ui vorce?" The neighborhood is about equally decided on the subject. TTenrv Scheer has comnleted anew garage at his home, that excites ap proval of his handiwork.

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN . . . ,i j Suggestion by mothers who have been kindergartners. Issued by the United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C, and the Nation al Kindergarten Association, 8 West Fortieth Street, New York. (By Mrs. Alice Barton Harris) Fifteen thousand automobiles since August 1 have been shipped to France for the Red Cross. I sometimes wonder what the city child is able to show in the way of self-dependence and initiative when the inevitable day arrives that he must stand on his own feet. It seems to me that he is never left alone. In well-to-do families he usually passes from the teacher's hands directly in to the hands of his governess or tu tor, who instantly assumes the re sponsibility for his safety and well being. He works and plays under supervision, and has no opportunity to develop initiative or a sense of re sponsibility. In the name of educa tion we are crippling what we should cultivate. The best way to develop initiative is to let the" child alone for at least a part of each day. I think it shows an almost insulting lack of faith in his intelligence, this constant attendance on him. Even if he" does make a few blunders, he will be de veloping himself that way. My husband and I were brought up in all the freedom of large spaces, and after a few years of New York apartment life, with summers in boarding houses, we realized that our boys were going to lose out on most of the joys of childhood unless some thing was done about it. So we bought for almost nothing a 100-acre valley, 2,000 feet up in the Catskills, and 500 feet above the nearest vil lage a real wilderness into which no self-respecting servant would dream of setting foot. . There was a rough little cabin in it, which was quite adequate for a pummer home. Our object was to have a place where the children could stretch their bodies and souls, and incidently where their parents could also where light and heat andgwater did not come by means of taps and buttons. We had to do all the work our selves and the boys, then 5 and 6, were expected from the beginning to do their share. They fetched the milk from the nearest farm, a half mile distant, realizing fully that if they did not get it there would not be any milk, a crisis which could not exist in town.- We have most of our dinners outside over a camp fire, which, of course, the boys soon learn ed to make. They often serve us doubtful meals, over which they labor joyfully for hours beforehand. They have absolute freedom to wander over the mountains with only their dogs for protection. There are hours and hours when I have no idea where they are, and they come home with the most wonderful adventures to re count. For four months out of every year they live the life of the pioneer boy. To Guard Against Influenza Don't let the dread influenza get you. If you have even the slightest cough or cold, better begin using Fol ey's Honey and Tar at once. Henry Willis, Sandy Point( Texas, is one of many thousands wtio consider this remedy1 "just fine." He says: "I suf fered severely with a bad cough; after using four or five dollars' worth of different medicines decided to try Foley's Honey and Tar. One bottle gave relief Best medicine I ever used." Contains no opiates. Jones' Drug Co. The Oregon City Courier and the Oregon Farmer, both for f 1.15.
