for a Dollar
: Being better dresed or more
appropriately clothed, having
more attractive furniture in
your house, living in a better
. apartment, or owning a better
automobile than your neighbor,'
doesn't necessarily mean that
you have more money to spen-1
than he has. It might, and
probably does, mean that you
are more alive to the possibili
ties and opportunities that sur
round you.
The same qualities of mind
and intellect which make one
merchant a shrewder purchaser
than another make you a better
manager 01 your annual expendi
ture. - The merchant or the purchas
ing agent of any big organiza
tion knows all there is to know
about the things he buys. His
dollar is 100 per cent efficient.
If some large organizations
conducted their purchasing de
partments as loosely and thougt
lessly as some families they
would be bankrupt before very
long. .
And yet there is really no
good reason why every individ
ual should not get 100 cents
worth for every dollar he spends
for himself and his family.

ROUSES PASTORS
(Continued from Page 1.)
to scientific rules the thought of
these two quotations.
"Eugenics, which strictly derived
means perfect generation, may be de
fined as 'the science and art of be
ing well-born',' or as Galton the found
er of the science said some ten years
ago, 'Eugenics is the study of agen
cies that may improve or impair the
racial qualities of future generations
either mentally, physically or spirtu
ally.' "Oliver Wendell Holmes tells us
that the time to begin the education
of a child is a hundred years before
it is born, and if this is true, as we
are now beginning to realize, we may
agree with the president of the first
international congress rof eugenics
held in London only last year, that,
'At present the most urgent need is
for more knowledge.' In line wiCh
this plea there has been founded the
Carnegie station for. experimental
evolution at Cold Spring Harbor,
which is now busied collecting great
masses of interesting statistics".
"But to us the question that eu
genics raises must come closer home,
and at present there are three funda
mental and essential problems which
we are all interested in solving.
"First we must secure wiser mat
ing on the part of men and women of
intelligence and education. The
prime importance of spiritual educa
tion makes itself hown here. In ad
dition, make the cnurch a meeting
place for young people. Acknowledge
Nature's great force in securing mat
ing propinquity, and let the church
guide it by' throwing the youth Of
both sexes into good companionship.
"Our second problem is the im
mediate one which some of the states
are already meeting; limitation by
public authority of . the marriage of
the defective, the insane and the
criminal. The vast amount of harm
done to the race as a whole by our 3
or 4 per cent of this off-color human
ity should certainly lead the church
to stand firmly and agressively for
progress in this type of legislation.
"Lastly, remains the fantastic prob
lem of breeding the superman. This
third problem, if it may even be call
ed such, gives ample ground for the
roving scientific imagination but in
a practical way, offers little of real
merit. The emotion of love abso
lutely controlled, presents just as sor
ry a spectacle as the passion we
know of as utterly uncontrolled love,
and .the superman will for a long
time remain the visionary product of
that impossible conception scientific
love."
AGENT TOM KAY
LOSES HIS CASE
Thomas Kay, erstwhile member of
the Portland police force, but now
special investigator for Governor Os
wald West, lost his case against W.
S. Flynn, saloon keeper of Wilson
ville Wednesday when the matter was
tried before Justice Sievers. Flynn,
who had been charged by Thomas
with running his saloon on Sunday,
was found not guilty, and the case
dismissed.
Mr. Kay had one witness with him
to prove that Flynn had violated the
law. Mr. Flynn was supported by
nearly a score of his neighbors, who
were unanimous in declaring that he
operated a most orderly resort, and
that there was never any trouble
there. The court ruled on the evi
dence, much to Kay s disgust.
Kay did not state what moved iim
to descend suddenly upon Wilsonville
and endeavor to make the arrest. Nor
did he go into much detail in regard
to the fact that he never made the
arrest at . all. Flynn, hearing that
there was a charge against him, vol
untarily came into court while Kay
was industriously sleuthing him.

FISHERS GATHER
111, HOT SALMON
Commercial fishermen this week
ceased pursuit of the royal salmon
for awhile, and instead drew from
the Willamette six Japanese who
came into their midst trolling for
Chinook. A flood from the head wa
ters above the dam has made fishing
very poor the last several nights for
the gillnetters, and as a result few
of them have gone out. One or two
boats were on tie river when the
Japs arrived, however, and . thus it
was that the variety of fishing
changed.
The Orientals, stanrgers on .the
stream, became entangled In the ed
dies below the falls, and their boats
were capsized. All the fishing gear
they had was lost, as well as the few
salmon that they had caught. Six of
the little men went bodding into the
torn waters of the upper rapids, and
their cries for help brought the gill
netters to their rescue. With much
sputtering on the part of the Japs,
and considerable advice from the
commercial fishermen, the strangers
were dragged into the staunch fish-
boats, and later were set ashore, pro
vided with a chance to dry their
clothes, and left to their own de
vices.
Whenever water in the upper river
becomes high, gillnetting below th
falls suffers a setback, jui -5 it floes
wben the X'iVer is backed up by a
rise in the Columbia. For the last
two nights there has been a combina
tion of these two drawbacks, and lo
cal fishermen have mostly stayed off
the river. Wednesday the upper Wil
lamette showed a' general dropping,
however, and the gillnetters will be
out again the latter part of the week.
Below the dam the river is still high,
owing to back pressure from the Co
lumbia. Catches of commercial fishermen
have not been as heavy this week as
earlier in the season, and as a result
there has been a sharp rise in the
bids offered by Portland buyers.
Early in the season the prevailing
price was seven cents, but this week
bids as high as 12 cents were made.
EXPERIENCES FOR BOYS
The coming appearance in this cit7
of "Roney's Boys" Concert company
on Friday, recalls the interesting fact
that the experiences of these musical
cherubs is strangely fascinating and
interesting. From the executive man
sion at Washington, where they re
ceived the enthusiastic admiration of
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and
their 500 invited guests at the now
historic Christmas Concert, given by
them at the White House, to the
gloomy prison cells in the- great pen.
tentiaries, is a wide gulf, yet their
prison audiences are no less critical
and appreciative than those at the
Nation's capital.
" In the past 25 years Mr. Roney has
given concerts to about 100,000 un
fortunate inmates of penal and other
public institutions in the United
States. The effect of the these mar
velously sweet voices upon the crim
inal class is described as wonderful.
The audience of thieves, burglars and
murderers listen with rapt attention,
many of them with tears running
down their faces, and applaud with a
frenzy of enthusiasm.
They have several times sung in
the cells of condemned prisoners
awaiting the electric chair. Mr.
Roney is usually allowed to take the
boys along the tiers of .cells and talk
with the prisoners, and the gratitude
they show for the pleasure brought
into their monotonous lives reveals
the good which lies even in such
hearts as these.
C. B. WILSON NEW MAYOR
AT WILLAMETTE
C. B. Wilson has 'Been elected may
or of Willamette, to fill the vacancy
recently made by the resignation of
County School Superintendent T. J.
Gary, who left office because he had
moved from the corporate limits of
the town. Mr. Wilson, who was
formerly a member of the city council
of that place, was elected by the coun
cil. In his place was elected Edward
Carpenter. James Edmonds was elect
ed to the council to fill the vacancy
recently made by E. Duncan, who re
cently moved out of the state. John
Tunner was elected to fill a vacancy
in the position of town marshall.
The people of Willamette greatly
regret that his change of residence
made it necessary for Mr. Gary to re
sign his position, as the earnest ef
forts which he has put forth to ad
vance the town have been greatly ap
preciated.

OREGON BERRIES
FILLING MARKETS
State grown strawberries are get
ting a firmer hold on the market, and
in spite of over-stocking of California
fruit are holding firm at from $3.25
to $4 per 24-pound crate .depending
upon kind and grade. The Oregon
berries as yet lack color, due to the
want of sunshine, but are of good
flavor, and are finding ready sales in
retail shops.
New potatoes are following in the
lead of last season's crop, and have
declined to 3 and 4 cents a pound,
with but little buying. As a result of
the glut of spuds this spring, it is
said that many ranchers are not go
ing to plant any this year, and it is
expected that 1914 will see the tubers
soaring in he local markets.
Asparagus, coming in plentifully
and in prime condition, is now quoted
wholesale at 7o cents . per dozen
bundles of the best grade stock. The
outlook is for a further drop, with
corresponding reductions in retail
prices.
Eggs are still being bought sparing
ly in Portland, and at prices not at
all satisfactory to poultry. But few
shipments are being made to commis
sion houses.
