paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
persents the following in its current
issue:
"Rjlost everyone reads and appre
ciates the government weather fore
casts; but how many, especially farm
ers and poultrymen, realize the value
of the weather report, giving, as it
doas, the temparature and weather
conditions of the previous day in all
sections of the country?
"Since the advent of the rural de
livery, all up-to-date farmers get a
newspaper, and its value can ba niada
immeasurably greater by a careful
study of the weather report. For in
stance, the previous day at 8 p. m.
the temperature of Detroit was thirty
degrees. Then, if you happen to live
in eastern Pennsylvania thai will in
all probability be your local tempera

or poultrymen who have to look after
the ventilation of barns or poultry
houses will find this knowledge in
vlauable. "It takes a little time and study be
fore one becomes proficient in antici
pating the weather, but after a time it
becomes like second nature-. There
are many who,. by closely observing
local conditions, can pretty accurate
ly forecast the weather.
"Suppose you have a long drive to
make and you live in eastern Pennsyl
vania, then if you know it rained or
snowed the previous night in Chicago
or Detroit, or that it had been zero,
you would, if you possibly could, put
that drive off until later, when the
weather were likely to be jnore fa

knows how invaluable it is to have
some knowledge of weather probabil-

men who sometimes have to get up
during the night to look after an outdoor-brooder,
because a strong cold
wind has sprung up might have fore

of the weather report.

The historj of the United States is a history of frontiers. In the

Now the United States is no longer a land of frontiers, and it be

to everything he must now be EDUCATED IN A SPECIALTY, be it

SOMETHING FOR Oregon City is
ALL TO NOTE especially fortunate
in having secured the exhibit of the
Oregon Social Hygiene society. This
exhibit, though in existence less than
a year, has already aroused such a
popular demand that it has been
necessary to carry it out of the state
into Washington. Educators from all
parts of the country who had the op
portunity of seeing the exhibit at the
recent Reed College conference were
unanimous in th opinion that in com
pleteness, uniqueness and timeliness
this exliibii is without p. peer.
No expense nor et'iort has been
spared to make the exhibit perfect in
every detail. Logically divided into
three sections, the first deals with
"The Enemy." Graphically the social
diseases are outlined from the tiny
germs that cause them to the unfor
tunate results finally produced. The
second section has to do with "Allies
of the Enemy." Here the various
quacks that prey upon ignorance of
men and women are truthfully shown
up in their utter dishonesty. The
final section, in dealing with "Rem
edial Measures," shows what has
been" done to do away with the red
plague and what can still be done.
Here in a few nr.nutes one can
learn the truth about a subject that
every well-informed person should
know. Thoughtful men and women
will welcome this as an opportunity of
securing knowledge so vitally import
ant to the home life. Social Hygiene
is largely a matter of home insurance
and this exhibit in a remarkable man
ner points the way for applying this
insurance.

James C. McReynolds
James Clark McReynolds, who
holds the post of Atccrey General in
President Wilson's cabinet, was born
in Elkton, Ky., July 23, 1802, and was
educated at Vanderbilt University
and in the law department of the Uni
versity of Virginia. For several years
he served as secretary to Justice
Howell E. Jackson of the supreme
court of the United States. He was a
professor at the Vanderbilt law school
from 1900 to 1903, when he was ap
pointed assistant United States at
torney general by President Roose
velt. His work in this position con
sisted chiefly in the prosecution of
the tobacco trust and anthracite coal
cases and his success established for
him a reputation as a "trust buster."
He resigned his position early in 1912
and gave his attention to his private
law practice until again called into
public life by President Wilson's of
fer of the attorney generalship.

Games For he Summer.
Duck Market This game may be
played outdoors or in with five or more
players. Two of the players are buyer
and seller. The rest are ducks. The
ducks stoop down in a row with hands
clasped under the knees. The buyer
says to the seller, "Have you any ducks
for sale?" The seller says: "Yes, plen
ty of them. Will you walk around and
try them?" The buyer now tries differ
ent ducks by laying his clasped hands,
palm downward, on the head and
pressing inward. He pretends to find
fault with some of the ducks, saying,
"This one is too oifi," "This one is too
fat," "This one is too tough," etc.
When a cluck is found that is satisfac
tory the buyer tnd seller grasp his arm,
one on either side, and swing him back
and forth, the duck still remaining in
a stooping position, with hands clasped
under the knees. If he stands this test
the buyer leads him away to a place
selected as the coop. The sale goes on
till all the ducks are sold. Any duck
that smiles or does not stand the
swinging test must pay a forfeit, to be
redeemed at the conclusion of the sale.
In case there are many players there
should be two or more buyers and sell
ers. Flyaway. Five or more children may
play this game either in the schoolroom
or playground. The children are seat
ed with their hands in their laps.
When "it" says, at the same time rais
ing his hands. "Fly away, mosquito,"
or "Fly away, robin," or "Fly away,"
followed by the name of any other ani
mal that flies, the rest of the players
are to raise their hands. When he
says "Fly away," followed by the name
of some animal that does not fly, the
players are not to raise their hands,
although the leader raises Ms. Any
one making a miss either by not rais
ing his hands at the right time or by
raising the hands at the wrong time
becomes "it"
Japanese Tag. When a player is
tagged he must place his left hand on
the spot tagged and keep it there until
he has caught some other boy or girl.
The game works out in this way: The
one who is "it" endeavors to tag a run
ner on the knee or foot so that his ef
forts to tag- any one else while his
hand is on that part of the body will
be awkward and amusing.
How Children 'Are Lost.
Teach your child its name and ad
dross as soon as it is able to talk.
Hundreds of children get lost every
year and cause endless anxiety to their
parents simply because they cannot
tell where they live. No matter how
young a child is if taught its name and
address and told to give it when asked
its chances of being brought home safe
ami sound are assured.
A guard in a city park beloved of
children as a playground says that it
is surprising the number that go
astray.
"1 have come across many cases," he
said when questioned, "where boys'
and girls did not know their surnames.
Some answered to 'Baby' and nothing
else."
A teacher suggests that the small
children' in schools should be taught
their name and address in class and
then examined every week to see that
they had not forgotten it.
"If this scheme were adopted it
would save parents a lot of worry and
anxiety." she said.
But any mother can do away with
the fear that her little one will be lost
by teaching the child his name and
address. Another precaution worth
taking if you are afraid the little one
will forget easily is to write the name
and address In indelible ink on bis
clothes. This need not be put on the
little gown itself, but may be written
on an extra piece of linen and pinned
beneath the hem of the skirt or some
other inconspicuous place. In this
way a lost child Is easily located, and
returned to his distracted parents.

FATE OF A WORLD
Its Course from Chaos to Its
! Hopeless Death Struggle. -
THREE ACTS IN THE TRAGEDY
The First Is Shown by Jupiter, the
Second by tho Earth and the Third
by Mars-, While the Moon Shows the
Empty Stage After the Play Is Done.
No stage was ever st for such a
tragedy as the planet Mars presents.
It is the last act in the drama cf a
world's history!
The first ac t in such a drama consists
of scenes from chaos. The huge plan
et .lupiter otters us a spectacle of that
kind in its streaming belts of thick
clouds and its whirling vaiiors. glow
ing like steam above a furnace.
The second act is represented by the
earth, with its fertile crust, its cool, in
vigorating atmosphere and its life sus
taining seas that give birth to the
clouds which, condensing on the
mountains, furnish the rains and set
the rivers flowing.
The closing act is tho role of Mars,
where the seas have vanished, the at
mosphere has thinned out. the rivers
have disappeared, the continents have
turned into deserts, and life, driven into'
a corner, is battling against final ex
tinction. .
' That there is yet intelligent life ou
Mars is the universal belief of all the
observers whom Mr. Lowell has gath
ered about him at his Flagstaff ob
servatory, where the extraordinary phe
nomena of that, wonderful planet are
studied as nowhere else in, the world.
.More than that, they tell us with
ever increasing emphasis that the peo-
pie of Mars, compelled by necessity,
have developed a command over natu
ral forces which would seem miracu
lous if exhibited upon the earth.
With them it has become simply a
question of brain power against the
Inanimate powers of nature.
They have nights and days of the
same length as ours. They have sea
sons almost " precisely corresponding
with ours, except that they are each
twice as long. But their oceans are
dried up. no rains fall (though there
may be dews), and nearly all the at
mospheric, moisture is alternately lock
ed up in one or the other of the polar
snowcaps. - .
In such a situation no vegetation can
flourish unless artificially stimulated
by a gigantic system of irrigation. And
without vegetation animal existence is
impossible.
But whence can the inhabitants of
Mars derive the water needed for irri
gation? The answer given is that they
get it periodically from the melting of
the polar snows. Being without seas
and rivers they have no other source
of supply.
On M:trs the reign of universal peace
must have begun ages ago, introduced
not by moral or sentimental consid
erations, but by the necessity of unit
ing all the engineering skill, all the in
ventive powers and all the physical
forces of the entire population of the
planet in a common battle for life.
The only thought of their inventors
is of improved means for controlling
the slowly lessening supplies of mois
ture that once in about two of our
years may be drawn away from one
of the poles while the summer sun
shine is dissolving its thin snows.
This universal concentration of men
tal energy upon a single aim is con
ceived as having developed upon Mars
a knowledge of the hidden forces of
nature such as has up to the present
merely been dreamed of on "the earth.
We have just begun to learn how to
use electricity in the mechanic arts,
but they may have unlocked the secret
forces inclosed in the atoms of matter
which our science has recently assured
us exist without showing us bow to
utilize them.
: Only by such suppositions can the
"canals." hundreds of miles wide and
thousands of miles long, be accounted
for. if. as the Flagstaff observers in
sist those objects are really of arti
ficial origin. It should be said, how
ever, that in- Mr. Lowell's opinion the
bands called canals are. in fact, irri
gated belts.
The real canals within them are in
visible, while the progressive darken
ing of these belts, as the polar molting
increases, is due to the growth of veg
etation, stimulated by the water.
: After the world life drama closes
there is left an empty stage, and this
Is represented by the moon. The lunar
world has lost all its water. Its trag
edy is finished. The actors are all dead.
Millions of years ago there may have
been a battle for life there like that
which now appears to be raging on
Mars. And millions of years in th
future the stage of the earth will prob
ably be set for a similar tragedy. For.
to the eyes of the overlooking gods (to
change a little Shakespeare's figure):
All the sky's a stage.
And all the worlds and suns are merely
actors.
Garrett P. Serviss in New York Jour-
Why Silver Tarnishes.
Did you ever notice that the silver
you stow carefully away in neat white
canton flannel bags, presumably, to
keep it from tarnishing, is blacker and
more stained with tarnish when you go
to get it out of the bag than the silver
that has been in use all the time? And
did you ever notice, if the silver is kept
in a long case that is wound about it
self, that the silver best protected,
nearest the middle, is most badly tarn
ished? - .
A jeweler says that the reason for
this is that white canton flannel is
bleached with a mixture containing
sulphur, which spots and tarnishes sil
ver very quickly. So, when your extra
dozen silver forks are carefully packed
away in their white canton flannel
case, of course, those in the middle,
farthest from the air. become the most
badly tarnished.
It is for this reason that silversmiths
always use blue canton flannel bags
and cases for their silver, not. as many
persons think, because blue is more
beautiful than white. No sulphur is
used in the preparation of blue canton
flannel, and so none lingers in its folds
after it is made up into bags and cases
for silver.
