Convenience, comfort and economy
Wherever you go city, country, mountains,
seashore there you will find Pearl Oil, the
Standard Oil Company's kerosene. Gives the con
venience of gas without the dust and dirt of coal
or wood. Easy to handle.
With a good oil cookstove you will cook ia
comfort all year 'round. Bakes, broils, roasts,
toasts economically. Lights at the touch of a
match. No waiting for fires to come up, no un
necessary work, no waste. Concentrates a steady
heat on the cooking leaving the kitchen cool and
comfortable.
Pearl Oil is refined and re-refined by our special
process which removes the impurities. It is clean
burning.
Pearl Oil is for sale in bulk by dealers every
where. It is the same high-quality kerosene as
the Pearl Oil sold in five-gallon cans. There is a
saving by buying in bulk. Order by name Pearl
Oil.
We recommend New Perfection

The world of the child is one of
perpetual imagination try to live in
it with him and he will be easier to
guide.
While visiting a school I overheard
this dialogue between an unimagin
ative teacher and a small boy who
was helping to remove some cobwebs
from a cabinet in the classroom:
"Spider-webs are very beautiful,
aren't they, Miss Andrews?"
"Hold the pan higher."
"All spiders aren't bad spiders;
some spiders are good spiders, aren't
they, Miss 'Andrews?"
"Watch what you are doing."
"I know a story about a spider.

Miss Holmes told
class about Robert
spider "
"When?" severely. The child hung
his head. "If you loiter at her door
again, IH keep you in." A sullen
look appeared on his face and the
work was continued in silence. After
he had left the room she turned to
me and said: "That boy gets sulky
pells. Oh, he' likes nature work and
stories, but I never could tell a
story."
Upon my suggesting that stones
stimulate the imagination, she held
up her hands and with a look of hor-
ror dediarea: "imagination: xou
don't have to stimulate children's im
agination. The trouble is they have
too much I"
She was unable to reconcile her
adult mental attitude with a child's
outlook.
A little girl, as she ran up and
down the steps of a broad terrace
surrounding a house in the country,
kept saying to herself: "It's just like
an old castle! It's just like an old
castle!"
"Nellie," commanded her father,
"don't do that! YouH fall."
"She is always falling," he ex
plained to his hostess.
"Does she hurt herself?" asked the
lady.
"No, but she might, she is so
awkward. She gets worse all the
time."
His little daughter manifested a
lively imagination, but he did not un
derstand how to make it of use in
developing restraint and poise.
Live with children and one lives in
a' world of perpetual imagination.
In no way can we more easily con
trol the child's acts, form his hab
its, mould his thoughts, thin along
this avenue of approach to his mind.
Reproof may adroitly be given by a
playful appeal to the fancy.
"Poor Patsey' murmured a father,
shaking his head as his heedless lit
tle son. a sturdy boy of five, stumbled
and fell repeatedly during a short
ramble in a meadow "Poor Patsey!
One would think to look at him that
he had nice bright eyes, but they are
ust beads.
The next day, running impetuous
ly to meet me this same little fellow
stumbled over a stone, fell, and got
ud saving ' srood-humouredly: "If
Daddy was here he d tell me I had
beads for eyes." His heedlessness
was soon corrected by this jest.
"The flowers are asking why Pat
sey doesn't take his feet off and leave
them at home when he comes to see
us." I suggested one day when he
trampled my snowdrops..
"What do the flowers say now?" he
whispered as he quickly removed the
offending members from the bulb bed
and looked wistfully into my face.
"They say, 'Thank you, Patsey,' "I
replied. " 'If you keep your feet on
the paths you may bring them with
you when you come to the garden.'
And so a rebuke attained its end
without creating antagonism.
Sometimes it happens that children
lose the sense of discrimination be
tween fact and fancy. Then we should
clarify 'their ideas without implant
ing a sense of guilt.
It was discovered , that a hitherto
truthful child was beginning to make
misstatements, evidently not for the
purpose of deception, but entirely
through confusion of thought. I had
read him an account in a newspaper
of a dog that put his paws on the
steering wheel of an automobile,
while his master, sitting beside him,
changed the gears and saw to the es
sentials of running the car. He made
no comment at the time but his im
agination seized upon the idea. A
couple of months later he told me
that he had seen a dog running a Car
on Fifth Avenue.
"His master was with him, I re
sponded,
"No, not that one; this dog was
alone. He changed the gears him
self."
Shortly afterward he wanted to
know what a cocoon is. I began the
allegory of the Caterpillar and the
Butterfly. "Don't tell it that way
don't say 'it said' and 'he said' just
tell me," he broke in. So I told him
the facts of the development of the
tut cumin , t o am.
Miss Ford's Recital
The pupils of Miss Sadye Ford will
appear in a piano recital on Wednes
day evening, June 25th, at the Meth
odist church in Oregon City. Quite
a large class will take part in the
event, and it is looked forward to by
the people of this city as one of the
junior musical events of the year.

Blizzard Cut Silage Pays
Blizzard Cut Silage pays better because it is cut evenly of the desired length
and pacta well in the silo.
Blizzard Silo Fillers have long led the ensilage cutter field by reason of ad
vanced strong construction. The Blizzard first used that unique combina
tion of knives, fan and fly wheel operated upon a single shaft. This means a
simple and much lighter running cutter than a double unit machine can pos
sibly be. ' 1 ,
Now the Blizzard comes forward with another' great improvement, the self
feed. The most reliable self feed that has ever been perfected. Come and ex
amine the new Blizzard. Sizes for all requirements.
Stover Engines
for All Need?
Use the Stover for pumping, for running
the silo filler, the wood saw, the hay press
and any other need about the place. You
will find it reliable, economical and always
on the job, ready when you are ready,
never kicking and acting in every way as
you have a right to expect a dependable
efficient gas or kerosene engine to act.

chrysalis as briefly and definitely as
possible. When I had finished, think
ing this a fitting opportunity, I ex
plained the difference between fact
and fiction, telling him that we should
let people know whether what we
told was really so, or just a story or
joke. .
The following incident shows his
manner of applying my careful' def
inition. He told his aunt that he had
seen two squirrels running toward
each other on a branch of a tree.
They had their mouths filled with
nuts, arid they ran so fast that they
"bumped heads" and knocked the
nuts out: After an effective pause
he added: "That's a joke. I made it
up I Now this is real " and he
repeated a simple incident of a squir
rel carrying away the walnuts he
had laid on the ground to dry.
Some children naturally make the
distinction between fact and fancy
without assistance. One of my child
companions usually explained his
representations where they might not
be obvious, so that we lived in a
world of 'pretend without any feel
ing of deception "I can't come to
see you, I shall be too busy taking
care of my horse (you know, my toy
horse), and my automobile (you
know, my bicycle)."
"Ride over on your horse."
"Oh, he is too wild."
"Then come in your car."
"It costs too much for gas and
water."
