Water System to be
Voted In September
OSWEGO, Aug. 8 On September
15 there will be an election regarding
the Bull Run water for Oswego and
between the highway bridge and Bol
ton, as there will be several large
tracts of land in that district to be
platted and placed on the market,
and water is desired for them. Er
nest Nelson, a former well known
young man of this place, who has en
gineering offices in Portland, has cir
culated the petition, meeting with
splendid success in securing names.
At the same election a water board
of three will also be elected. The
board is then authorized to go ahead
and secure engineering data and esti
mates of expense for the construction
of such a system, and can incur an
expense of not to exceed three per
cent of the assessed valuation in
the proposed district for such pur
pose. This data secured, the board
can call an election to vote bonds for
the construction of the system, said
bonds not to be in excess of 10 per
cent of the assessed valuation of all
property, which include the three per
cent for preliminary work.

BOYS DEMAND BETTER BOOKS
Youngsters Not Content These Days
, With Anything Dreamed by
' Old-School Writers.
A Chicago librarian has made the
discovery that boys are quitting the
so-called "boy fiction" for reading of
a different kind. They still read fic
tion, to be sure, but it is not their
chief reading nor is the fiction they
read that provided by the old-school
writers of boys books, who had the
notion that the youthful masculine
mind required and demanded a spe
cially prepared and specially fla
vored food.- .
The boys of today, according to
this finding, are calling for the bi
ographies of Lincoln, Roosevelt and
Edison. They are reading Christy
Mathewson's "Book of Sports,' the
"Boys Book of Mounted Police," the
"Boys Book of Home Science and
Construction" and books on camping
and woodcraft.
When they go in for fiction they
read Mark Twain, Scott, Dumas,
Stevenson; Jules Verne and Kipling.
They do not read Henty and Oliver
Optic.
The only thing at all curious about
this is that it should ever have been
believed that boys had standardized
minds capable of taking anything but
spoon food. Boys want first of all
the genuine, and It would be strange
if they didn't learn where to find it.
A boy who has heard of Roosevelt's
life in the West is not likely to be
content thereafter with the pretend
ed adventures of the old make-believe
heroes, whose authors turned out
their thrills In New York boarding
houses. A boy who has read "Treas
ure Island" and "Kidnaped" will have
small use for Nick Carter. Kansas
City Star.
IMMENSE POWER OF MUSIC
There is Almost No Limit to its In
fluence on the Human .
Soul.
Music! The dictionary defines it
as "The science of liarmonious sounds ;
melody or harmony." The tide of bat
tle has been turned by the "science
of harmonious sounds." and to hear
some old familiar melody has often
resulted in soothing the troubled
heart. v
Music can call the patriot to the
defense of his country; can enthuse
anew the worshiper at the shrine;
can call the lover to his beloved;
can fan Into flame the dying embers
of the fire in the enthusiast's breast.
There is no limit to the power of
music over the human soul.
The world needs music music of
the soul; music of the heart; music
of the voice; music of the spirit.
There are people who can't sing, yet
they can be moved to tears or laughter
hv the words of some simple melody.
Some people sing their way through
life, and such people have a wonder
ful Influence on the lives of others.
Music can have an almost magical
effect in producing the desired re
sults. In fact, the imagination falls
to picture a world without mrslc
Mind Conquers Matter.
Have you heard the latest Coue
story? A man with bandy legs called
to see the great practitioner of heal
ing by suggestion.
After an examination, the doctor
said: "Yes, they can be cured. Mas
sage them every night and before you
go to sleep say, 'My legs are getting
less and less bandy' a hundred and
fifty times."
Full of hope, the man went home.
That night he carried out the massage
treatment, but he could not remember
just how many times he had to repeat
the magic words. He knew it was
something and fifty, so, to make sure,
he recited the phrase three hundred
and fifty times.
Next morning he found that he was
knock-kneed !
Death Rate Already Too High.
The death rate for the first quarter
of 1922 among Metropolitan Life pol
icyholders was higher among white
policyholders by 5.3 per cent tend
among colored policyholders by 6.6
per cent than for the same quarter of
1921. This was due very largely to
the effects of epidemic influenza.
There are, nevertheless, many favor
able terns in the figures for the quar
ter. The outstanding one is the con
tinued low mortality from tuber
culosis. The " unfavorable develop
ments, in addition to the much higher
rates for influenza and pneumonia,
are the increases for organic heart
disease, cerebral hemorrhage and
chronic nephritis. A higher rate was
also registered for automobile acci
dents, m
Art and Beauty.
A collier and his wife visited a pic
ture gallery. They came to some pho
tographs of classic art, and seeing one
more striking than' the rest, they
asked what it was. "That," said a
visitor standing by, "Is a photograph
of the famous Venus de MUo, the per
fect woman." The collier gazed at
the photograph for some time, and
then, glancing at his wife, he said:
"By gum, Lizzie, they made a mess
o' thee!"
A Logical Youngster.
Father caught Willie smoking and
lectured him severely. "Smoking is
injurious even to men," he went on.
"If they smoke too much they get to
bacco hearts.' "
Willie reflected a moment and then
asked: "And if they eat too many
sweets do they get sweethearts T"

Textile Industry
Improvement Seen
WASHINGTON, D. C. August 7
The Swedish textile industry is ex
periencing serious difficulties accord
ing to Assistant Trade Commissiner
Sorensen, Copenhagen, and recently
twenty mills employing about 2,000
workers were forced to adopt a sched
ule of three working days a week. In
creased imports of ready-made cloth
ing and wool and cotton piece goods
during the last few months caused
this reduction in hours. The domes
tic demand is very small and so mill3
can not manufacture for stock.
