In Ward HUD Heart lo Heart Talks ARE WE WORSE THAN ADDERS? 'j'here la a legend to tb effect that the adder, a snake, swallow It young when they are In danger and disgorge them when the peril la past. We lu America, humnn beings, swa w our young. Hut we do It for per sonal profit, imt tp protect them. We swallow them lu our mill and factories.

Learn how little children have been forced t work long hours. They are swallowed alive, not by adder, but by those who should pro tect them. There la an economic reason aa well aa a sentimental one Tor tbe protests that are going up all over the Innd gainst the practices of the exploiters of children It pays to let the children grow up, thnt they niny "become more fllrlcut and stronger workers In their later years. The other course not only robs them of their birthright of child hood, but It also depletes the supply of adult workers. It swallows tbe young, but It doe not disgorge them again. Tbey remain swallowed. Tbe exploiting of child Inbor 1 i blot on civilization. Not long ago I visitor to America from a "heathen' country was asked what bis people did to protect the children. "Protect tbe children," be echoed, In amntemcnt "In my country children need no protection. Every one la good to them." How about here? It la only In highly civilized, ad vnuced nations thnt child labor laws are needed. In tbe others the children are the universal care. True, In many of the savage coun tries the men do uot work, but cast tbe burden of providing food and cloth tnir on the women of tbe fnnilllea. But that Is another question.

LEVY OF TAX HOW ON FARMERS ISOLATED FROM NATU RAL MARKETS BY ROAD CONDITIONS SOME TOWNS ARE ALMOST CUT OFF Highway Becoming Impassable and Wagona Can be Pulled Through Slush Only When Lightly Loaded for Travel BANDY, Ore, Nov. 26 (Special) With the coming of the winter rains, the roads In this section are becom ing almost Impassible. The Doling road, which la planked for most of tbe way, Is bardly more than a trail of half rotten plank, floating In tbe mud. AltbouKhthe snow has not yet come fur down In the foot hills, it would be almost Impossible for an automobile to go more than a few miles past this city. Last summer more cars made the famous trip to Mt. Hood, but now an automobile is never seen, although In the winter the peak Is considered the most beautiful. cnerryyllle I Bad. PtiBt Chcrryvllle tbo highway is al most Impassible, on account of the mud and chuck-boles. Several wag ons were stuck in the soft road way the latter part of last week and It was found almost Impossible to get them out. To get loads over the roads Is con sldered practlcaly impossible. Farm ers are forced to make several trips to town with light loads each trip, rather than wltb full wagons. v Isolates Sandy. In the past the condition of tbe roads around this city has Isolated Sandy from the rest of the world dur ing tbe winter months. To get in or out of Sandy has long been consider ed a difficult task but now the com mercial club has a plan which Its thinks will solve the question. This organization has raised $1,000 from the merchants of this city and with a like sum donated by the Portland Automobile jrlub and tbe aid of a spe cial tax levy, the "Iiluff road is to be covered with crushed rock and rolled. This will connect Sandy with the Multnomah county line and put It In touch with Portland. ESTACADA, Ore., Nov. 26. (Spe cial) All the roads leading out of this city are almost impassible. Filled with mud, hub-deep, and with chuck holes and big puddles, they present a difficult problem to the farmer who wishes to reach this city. Only those who are forced to do so ever travel through the surrounding country and as a result the farmers are practically shut off from town. 110RING, Ore., Nov. 26. (Special) Boring roads are rapidly assuming their annual condition. Mud, nits, and puddles fill the road way making it almost Impossible for a wagon or automobile to pass through this city and out into the country. The Sandy stage, which leaves this city twice daily, requires much more time to make tbe trip although only a frac tion of tho travelers go Into that country now as in the summer months. EAGLE CREEK, Ore., Nov. 26. (Special) Roads from here Into the mountains are considered almost as bad as they have ever been In recent years. Fashion Frills.

New York Press, County officers are puzzled to know just the extent to which the invalida tion of the new registration law oy the supreme court tt!U affect them. Tho court has decided that the law placed stringent restrictions upon the exercise of the right of franchise and that it was unconstitutional on the ground that It made more require ments of the voter than the provisions of the constitution allow. It Is possible that the county clerk will now have to re-reglster all of the voters of the county for any future elections that are held though this fea ture will be finally determined by Gil bert U Hedges, county attorney, after a study of the decision of the court. The new law, passed at the last ses sion of the legislature, so decided ly emphasised registration that the supreme court held it restricted the right of franchise which would make the statute unconstitutional on its face, i Much of the material that the coun ty has purchased In accordance with the provisions of th law cannot be used under the old registration statute to which the state now re verts. The county attorney will ex plain within the next few daya the steps that he will now have to take to correct his registration lists. The de cision means that the last eletcion Is valid but It may entail the registering again of all of the voters ot the county. ALL ORGANIZATIONS GET INTO LINE AND RUSH FOR MORE .
