FOOD FOR THOUGHT
There was a time in the first days
of the City's larger development when
much Dig business was transacted in
quiet lunch rooms. Lately there
seems to have been a revival of this
practice which can be made both
pleasant and profitable. Men are
cheerful at meal time, trusting oneN
another a little more over a cup of
coffee and a cigar because under
standing one another a little better.
On such occasions they are a little
less self-conscious and a little more
tolerant of one another and of the
city's general aims and needs. Some
thing of the abstract quality oL busi
ness pervades a lunch room and the
good cheer of the hour lends initia
tive and courage to the viewpoint
then taken. The .physical relaxation
of the hour makes for deliberation;
the interchange of ideas then taking
place stimulates the right sort of com
petition and adds atmosphere to zeal.
Contact with business associates in
a semi-social ajnanner whets the ap
petite for the day's work. It is one
instance in which business and pleas
ure mawe be combined with profit.

DROPPING THE BONE
Esop, among his many instructive
fables, relates how an avaricious dog,
which was possed of a satisfactory
bone, 3aw, when crossing a bridge ov
er a stream, his own reflection in the
water. Dropping his bone which fell
into the stream he sprang after the
shadowy bone, with intent to wrest
it from the shadowy dog. The net
result was that the shadow disappear
ed and the grasping canine emerged
dripping and shivering from the wat
er a wetter and a wiser dog.
We have the bone in the form of
great industrial plants and the bridge
crossing the stream to reach them.
We are led to believe that a reflection
in the water will better our condi
tions if we can only get it. Shall we
profit by the experience of the dog
of fable fame?

Time was when the housewife went once or twice a week to mar
ket and brought home enough fresh staple supplies to last for several
days. In too many cases the telephone or the grocer's order man has
displaced the market basket.
A great saving is effected where the housewife PURCHASES IN
QUANTITIES and directly from the producer. Unfortunately, how
ever, many apartments and houses lack facilities for storing any con
siderable quantity of foodstuffs and supplies. In many a .household
the income is so small that buying in quantity is out of the question.
THE WASTE CONTINUES TO THE GARBAGE CAN. IT HAS

The news of the school directors in
eliminating the admittance fee at the
high school graduation exercise's is
a good move. Graduation suits,
dresses, presents and extras, are a
burden to many parents and then fin

fee is stretching things a bit too far.

Barry was visiting at the home ' of
one of his neighbors, and upon return

over to them, and a most delightful
evening was spent in cards, after
which refreshments were served.

they were the finest they ever saw.
One class in particular was great.
This class certainly puzzled the judge,
Professor E. L. Potter of the Oregon
Agricultural Colleg, there being nine
teen big draft teams lined up for com
parison ,none of these weighed less
than 2800 pounds and some of the in
dividual horses weighed 1900 pounds.
The Oregon Engineering & Construc
tion Co., of Oregon City, had four fine
teams entered that would make any
horseman's heart glad to have the
privilege of seeing them. The Horse
parade was a mile long, and when
those beautiful steeds came prancing
down the streets to the ragtime of the
numerous bands, no one would have
thought that horses were becoming
made 'his acquaintance It would te
much easier Such chronic cases need
desperate remedies. In your case 1 see
no way but to pick a quarrel with
him."
'A quarrel T
"Yes; you must contrive something
out of which a quarrel shall grow.
Then misconstrue something he does,
or. If that is Impracticable, make the
fight on no basis whatever, trusting
to invent one, and if you can't invent
one tell, him you have been mistaken
in 'something which has passed, but
which now. since It is all over, is too
painful for you to mention. In that
case you will have tbe advantage of
being penitent and throwing yourself
on his mercy."
"But I wish him to "love me. Why
make him angry?"
"To start him The longer your re
lations remain as they are the more
chronic they will become and tlie hard
er to break up Since you are not an
apt scholar 1 shall have to manage
the affair for you. To make a -toe-ginning,
cut him tbe next time you
meet him on the street"
"For what ostensible reason?"
"Cut him and leave the rest to me.
Use the telephone freely, and I win
keeprou advised."
Miss Ormsby went away, and the
next time she met Mr. Trusdell she
sailed by him with her nose in tbe
air
He looked at ber with astonish
menu What could he have done to
merit such treatment? He turned to
look back at ber. then passed on bis
way In much agitation. There Is noth
lng that will so rack a man as to receive
tbe contempt of a lady She may fight
him, she may plead with him, and he
can stand it manfully, but let ber cod
temn him and he Is crushed.
That name evening Miss Ormsby re
ceived a note from Mr. Trusdell. beg
ging to know wherein he had offended
her. She called, up Mrs Edmonds, re
ported tbe matter and asked for in
structions. . .
"Pay no attention to the note."was
the reply. -
"But now your treatment of the case
is getting me out ot chronic rortfffer
ence as well as Mr. Trusdell. I fear
I shall make a breach that will never
be headed. That wonid be dreadful!'
"It will neverbe healed until you do
as 1 tell you'
There rollowed a silence. Miss Orms
by felt as if she were hanging over a
precipice with no one to help her Nev-
i ertheless she dare not disobey instrue
j tions. She did not reply to Mr. Trus
deli's note. .
One evening there was a ring at the
doorbell and a guest was nshered into
the drawing room. where .Miss Ormsby
was- sittina. - He wasMr Trusdell
The lady had no opportunity to consult
her Instructress She must depend
upon her own resources. Having no
resources, she fell buck on the general
Instructions she had received in the
beginning She stood still, said noth

The automobile parade was in the
afternoon and was certainly a reve
lation to the thousands of on-lookers
on the sidelines. .Handsomely deco
rated cars, floats, automobile bands
and all manner of motor vehicles
passed the grandstand for more than
an hour. The music, the attractions
and red lemonade kept everyone In

being made for the big event for next

contempt."
There was no reply. Miss Ormsby's
eyes were bent to the floor. Mr. Trus
dell came, nearer and Implored her to
tell him
"1 fear." she said at last, "'that I have
done you a great injustice."
"Injustice?"
"Yes. I am very sorry for what I
have done" Her voice trembled
"Has any one maligned me?"
"Yes no Let it all pass, as some
thing too painful to be remembered."
"Will you not name my traducer?"
"That would . only make matters
worse. Do. I beg of you, drop the mat'

"Why do you feel so deeply concern

"I don't know.- I can't tell 1"
"My- dear Johanna, do not trouble
yourself further in the matter It is
enough for me to-be assured that you

Ormsby blushed and turned her
head aside.
A few weeks later Mrs Edmonds re
served a sizable fee.
SECURING WEALTH
AND SOME PEOPLE.
(OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
When seven states realize an in
crease of $2,812,450,182 in the value of
their farms in ten years, some idea
of the worthof new settlers can be
obtained The seven states of Minn
esota, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
realized this increase almost three
million of dollars.
The securing of two million more
people, increasing the number of
farms only 114,363 brought this added
amount of wealth. In short for every
person added to the population of the
Northwest during the ten years there
has been a corresponding increase in
the value of farm lands of $1406.
The seven states now commonly
known as the AMERICAN Northwest
increased the acreage of improved
lands 23,686,802 acres during the ten
years. If actual comparisons could be
made there is "little doubt but what
this vast growth of our own country
would compare favorable, if not ex
ceed the record of any other section
oh the map of the world.

HAS FINE PROGRAM
.The school at Corrall Creek closed
Friday afternoon with a " basket , pic
nic in the grove, and was one of the
most successful affairs of this kind
ever given in that part of the CQunty.
Among the features was a flag rais
ing. The Mothers' and Teachers'
Club presented the school with a
handsome flag, and the presentation
speech was made by Mrs. Norman
Say. Mrs. Inza Wood, who has just
closed a most successful term of
school, had prepared an excellent pro
gram and the children taking part
are deserving of much credit for the
manner in which the program was
carried out.
The children of this district are
taking much interest in the coming
district fair, and Mrs.. M. C. Young,
one of the prominent residents of that
section of the county, has devoted
much of her time in interesting many
of the farmers in that section in do
nating prizes for the fair, and already
has more than $312 subscribed. The
district fair will be held the last week
of June.
