As an i Tlul 10'000 JPm school child advertising medium It is next door to j rin 8"W1 the American flag singing an absolute failure. The shrewd bus-a n6 -f welcome in English during iness mau has learned by experience that for buiiness success, and that is ' the object of advertising, there is nothing equal to attractive ads in the; home paper. People do not have to' Journey far and wide to read such advertisements they are brought in to the house for everyone to read. The Australian women have just been granted the franchise by the fed eral parliament. As they were prev iously possessed of the suffrage in the different states of the common wealth, they are now, on this ques tion, on an equal footing with men. This victory by the women of Aus tralia will doubtless give an impetus to the woman suffrage movement in this country and In England. In the old country .the cause seems to have been Injured rather than helped by . the riotous conduct of some of its leaders. Every man in business has to meet and settle the question whether be shall be slave or master. To neglect home, turn his back upon the higher things of life and bend everything to the making of money is slavery. To be diligent in business, yet to make business minister to the happiness of home, the-development of one's high er nature and the welfare of his fel low men, is mastery. The outbreak of foot and mouth disease among the cattle in some states Is a serious matter for both stockmen and consumers. Experience shows that only by drastic methods such as the slaughter of infected stock and the quarantining of Infected districts can the disease be stamped out. This, of course, entails much loss and hardship, but ft is the only effective plan. The Czar of Russia the other day walked through the streets of his cap ital for the first time in several years, but .thousands of troops lined the road to protect him. It is the Irony of fai'j that the "Autocrat of all the Russias" with well nigh despotic pow er Is so much the slave of circum stances that he cannot step out of his palace without the protection of a Ixjdv gua'd. Love and confidence have fled from many a Lsme and left them wrecks because the family has lived beyond J909 CALENDARS J909 Oat shipment of calendars for J909 has been delayed and we will profcally not re ceive them before the J 0th or J 2th of Jan uary.

The Bank of Ha moans. When, Instead of spend lug loss than one hundred contB of tho dollar, people spend tho whole ilollar and go Into debt, heart burning and mutual fault finding are sure to result. To be satisfied with one's work Is very different from being gratified. Gratification for work well done Is natural and stimulates to eveu bettor efforts. But satisfaction Is a sign that the doer has reached the xonlth of his power and that ilecltue Is sot ting In. John D. Rockefeller says that he has quit trying to make money and has oined tho Brotherhood of Hu manity. Some people will be critical enough to think that he has queer Ideas of brotherhood. A L 1L.!H I . L.. ! affluity busmen comoa high. The The experience of those who have been deluded by it is that 11 Is finan cially ruinous and, what Is still worse, that It shatters one's character. Men never win success by merely wishing for it.- It must amount to a desire so strong that one Is Impelled to action. .It Is the striving that counts. If the powers would only agree to limit their armaments what a load of taxation would be lifted from the backs of the people. It Is surprising how often the little word "the" is used In speech and writing. If any standard work In English Is examined and the words classified, "the" will come to the front something like S.000 times iu every UKi.OOO words. Next will come "of" to the extent of 5,000 times and this will bo followed by "and" and "to" with 3.5M times to its credit.

Representative McKinney In Town. Hon. Henry M. McKinney, of Baker City, a member of the lower house of thtf state legislature, and a graduate of the class of 1907 of the University of Oregon, was visiting friends in Ore gon City last week. Mr. McKinney Is one of the youngest members of the house, and Is a debater of consider able ability, having been one of the orators of his class. He is a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, and dur ing his college career achjeved a repu tation in athletic circles, holding records-in the weight events on the track team and playing a star game as fullback of the Varsity football team for several seasons. EVER WATCHFUL. A Little Care Will Save Many Oregon City Readers Future Trouble. Watch the kidney secretions. See that they have the amber hue of health: .The discharges not excessive' or infrequent; Contain no "brick-dust like" sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills will do this for yen. They watch the kidneys and cure them when they're sick. f N. S. Williams, carpenter, of 239 Liberty Street. Salem. Oregon, says: "A number of yeirs ago the doctors told me my kidneys were in bad shape. I came West on account of the trouble, thinking the change of climate would help me but such was not the case. Nothing I did or took gave me relief and I was about dis couraged. On procuring Doan's Kid ney Pills I found them the best medi cine I had ever used. At the time I procured them I was suffering from an Intense burning sensation as if two live coals were placed directly over my kidneys. The secretions from my kidneys were also unnatural In appearance. After u'lng two box es of Doan's Kidney Pills I did not have the leaRt pain In my back or trouble with the kidneys. I give all the credit for the change in my condi tion to this valuable remedy." Plenty more proof like this from Oregon City people. Call at Huntley Bros.

There was gospel sing li!g and the sermon was preached by Kov. Erastus A. Smith, of Portland, who took for his subject. "Whatsoever He Saith Unto You. Do It." Mr. Smith said: "This Is a splendid motto for the Now Year and would put us In line f.ir doing strong Christian work If we carried It out. Man s hap piness consists of doing things right." Then wore nine candidates for bap tism and prayer and testimony wore given.. At 11:55 o'clock the church boll was tolled until midnight when the bell pealed Joyfully.

BROTHERHOOD FEAST SECOND MONTHLY MEETING CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IS PLEASING AFFAIR. AT The second monthly meeting and banquet of the Congregational Church Brotherhood was held In the church parlors Wednesday evening, with President E. T. Avlson In the chair. The affair commenced at 6:30 o'clock and CO men partook of an elaborate and hunger satisfying supper pre pared by the Ladles' Aid Society, af ter which a couple of hours were spent In enjoying a fine entertainment nrnvlded by the programme committee of the club. Captain Ell, the Inimit able story teller, kept the company convulsed with laughter with his whaling yarns and proved himself to be a prince of entertainers. Mr. Fol som. superintendent of Hie State Con gregat'onal Home Missions for Ore gon, made a short, stirring address which had the true ring. It was a man's talk to men and as such was appreciated by all present, as was se,-n by the storm or applause wnen the speaker concluded. After a few matters of business had been attended to nine new members were added to the charter list, a few remarks were made by County School Superintend ent Gary, who told a fish story. Capt. Ell then gave another short yarn and the meeting ended. The Brotherhood hai been organized for the benefit of the men connected with the church and has for Its great object the better nent of all. Judging from present indications the Bociety Is In a fair way to accomplish something and will be a' factor for the general good of the church and community.

A healthy and respectable increase Is enjoyed by the church In every department of work. The fi nances are In an exceptionally good condition. New measures wore adopt ed to perfect the organization, and for more aggressive work. The one thing that confronts the chu ch so ciety Is the enlargement of their chureli building to accommodate the Sunday school.
