Motorists Make Trip
To Southern Oregon
SANDY, Aug. 14 Last night Mr.
and Ivlrs. Gilbert Haughlum, Mr., and
Mrs. Gilbert Jonsrud and Grant Jons
rud returned from a 10 days' trip to
Southern Oregon. After leaving Eu
gene the party visited friends at
"Wolfe Creek then on to Grants Pass,
where they visited other friends, and
also took a trip to the Marble caves
which are 52 miles from the latter
place, climbing an 8 per cent grade
with minor car troubles.
The marble caves are a half mile
underground, and daylight never en
ters. Mr. Hauglum blew out his
lamp to "see if he could see" but the
inky blackness was appalling.
At Medford Mrs. Joel Jarl was vis
ited and also friends at Central
Point. The party went to Crater
Lake but the wind was blowing a
hurricane and it was so cold they
stayed only three hours.
Auto camp grounds at Ashland and
Oakland proved very convenient.
Hundreds of acres of pears were be
ing picked for market in the Med
ford ' country. Around Roseburg is
the big prune district, and the-crop
is promising. The return trip from
Medford was made in just two days,
and the entire journey was one of
great pleasure which all enjoyed very
much
Pure Americanism
Is Theme of Jude
SANDY, Aug. 14 A rising vote of j
thanks was given Judge G. W. Staple
ton at the conclusion of his address ;
given for the Parent Teacher program ;
here Sunday. The judge said the pub-
lie school is the melting pot of the ;
nation, and was the only place where j
children of every race and color
were brought together on a common
level, and made a forceful talk for
pure Americanism, which, he said
must come through the public school
if our country is to endure. He de
plored th3 "little Italys, Germanys" j
etc. that congregate in sections of
our large cities, and speak their own ;
language, live the customs of their ,
native land instead of absorbing the j
true American spirit. "A child's edu- j
cation begins in the home, and the j
early impressions have much to do j
iu after life said the judge, who also j
deplored the fact that mothers and j
fathers neglect to teach the practical
things of life to their children, which
compels the employment of so many
"specialists" to teach the boys and
eirl?i hnw tn feecf tiias. cook and sew.
thereby increasing the taxes.
Mr. Stapleton covered a wide range
of vital subjects in his speech, all
striking home to his hearers. One
idea he advanWid was that Germany
cannot possibly pay her immense in
demnity, France cannot pay, and that
it would be better for us to wipe out
every war debt, so that we can build
up" trade and go to doing business
again. "The world needs our products,
we need a market, and the time lost
in waiting will be disastrous to the
world."
Dorothy Esson sang a solo and
Miss Eunice Jonsrud read Anthony
Ewer's "The Soul of the Average
Man." A cafeteria dinner was then
served in the Odd Fellow's kitchen
where ice cream -eones and other
light refreshments were sold for the
benefit of the P. T. fund for a school
piano.
Grange Discusses
Local Marketing
SANDY, Aug. 14 The Sandy
grange discussed marketing from a
local standpoint at the Saturday sess
ion. It was shown how farmers out
here ship their products to Portland
(paying the freight) then the Port
land merchant receives his profit for
selling it to our merchants who, in
turn make their profit, and, of course,
add the freight back to Sandy. Who
pays all this "Mr Consumer"? of
course cabage, potatoes, oats, hay,
wheat, etc., etc., ride back and forth
to the city for what reason? Can
ning said beflause "we have no fixed
price and no fixed market." A. C.
Thomas said because the farmer has
not "followed farming as a business',
and because we send a 'crop of law
yers to the legislature to represent
the farmers." Ed Littlepage said
"The Farmer will hold up as quickly
as any one else." The discussion was
fine. At the close of the session a
grange gave a psychological reason
why farmers will not hang together,
saying that the fact of their segrega
tion, per se, eliminates the possibility
of their becoming unionists, and with
out a concentrated effort, a market
ing system cannot be built up.

OUR DEBT TO THE CAVE MaK
Tribute to Him by yVilliam James
One of Most Eloquent Pas
sages in Literature.
One of the most eloquent passages
In American literature is William
J nines' tribute to the cave man, says
the Detroit News. He wrote: "Bone
of our bone and flesh of our flesh, are
these half-brutish prehistoric brothers.
Girdled about with the immense dark
ness of this mysterious universe even
as we are, they were born, and died,
suffered and struggled. Given over to
fearful crime and passion, plunged in
the blackest ignorance, preyed upon by
liiilmis ami srrotesaue delusions yet
steudfastly serving Hie profoundest '
of ideals in their fixed faith that ex
istence in any form is better than
non-existence, they ever rescued tri
umphantly from the jaws of ever
imminent destruction the torch of life
which, thanks to them, now lights the
world for us.
"How small indeed seem individual
distinctions when we look back on
these overwhelming numbers of "hu
man beings panting and straining
under the pressure of that vital want.
And how inessential in the eyes of
God must be the small surplus of the
individual's merit, swamped as it is in
the vast ocean of the common merit
of mankind dumbly and unduuntingly
doing the fundamental duty and liv
ing the heroic life. We grow humble
and reverent as we contemplate the
prodigious spectacle."
OMENS OF ANCIENT -ROMANS
How They Observed Birds and Cut
Up Animals to Find Out
'the Sitfhs."
The ancient Romans believed in
signs. When they wanted to know
whether to do this thing or that, they
tried to find out "the signs." Sonu
persons looked at birds flying over
head. Others cut up animals, to see
what "signs" were inside.
Perhaps most interesting of all was
the custom of keeping certain chirk-
rns and calling them sacred. If some
one wanted to know if a plan would
succeed, he tried to feed the chickens.
If they ate heartily, it was a good
sign. If they refused to eat, the plan
was probably given up.
When a Roman died, food and drink
were placed beside his body in the
tomb. Animals were sacrificed, and
inllk or wine was thrown on the
ground.
This was repeated every
year. It the relatives forgot, the, soul
over to Newport for a week's outing
at the sea shore" and had a most de
lightful time. ,

I wp.s supposed to become evil and to

Animals were sacrificed in honor
of the gods, as well as for the spirits
of men. Pigs, oxen, and sheep were
the creatures most often killed. Flour
and salt were sprinkled over each ani
mal, its head' was covered with cloths,
and then the priest liised a large
knife or an nx for the death-dealing
blow. Prayers were said by those
looking on. The bones and fat were
placed on the altar and burned.
They Never Did.
My most embarrassing moment oc
curred while dramatizing a Christmas
play. I had the part of the mother of
a large family presiding at the feast
on" Christmas day. It fell to me to
carve the goose. Having rehearsed
this part, I was anticipating no dif
ficulty, so I started bravely out oh the
breast bone. Gently and slowly It
slipped out of my grasp. I tried again
with the same effect. As the titters
from the audience increased, I became
slightly confused.
At this opportune moment the fa
ther, sitting opposite, uttered his next
lines, which were: "Did you ever see
such a goose?"
With that the audience began to
roar, and I gave it up in ignominious
defeat. Exchange. i

The young woman of whom the

"I should like ever so much to see
a tobacco field." she said, "especially
when it is just plugging out." Way

Agreement between rai'road execu
tives and railroad labor organization
leaders to hold another conference
tomorrow in New York to seek a set
tlement of the shopmen's strike, it
was said today, had resulted in Pres
