CITY OFFICIAL
-CARRIERS' PLEA All through the session of the state association of
FOR GOOD ROADS letter carriers, the story of poor roads was told
over and over again and the plea made for better highways that would give
quicker transportation between points both for the farmer and for the car
rier of the government mails.
' No class of persons suffer more from the lack of good roads than do the
carriers of mail. Daily they ride over the rocks and dumps that infest many
of the highways of the state and, in all kinds of weather, bring to the door
of the farmer anything from a check for his last carload of hogs to a circu
lar from the big mail order houses.
Through the carriers, the plea for good roads has been given a tremend
ous impetus! Better highways would not only mean that the transportation
cost would be cut for the farmer but it would add to the efficiency of his
mail service,. would cut down the time between deliveries, and would insure
liim more prompt and thorough handling of his share of the bags of mail
that daily travel over the highways of the state.
Good roads are an important factor in the development of the mail ser
vice as they are in the progress of. every farming community and through
those communities of every city in the state. Upon the development of good
roads in Oregon, depends, to a large extent, the ease and facility with which
the government handles its mail.
Prompt mail service is almost an item to the farmer as it is to the business
man in his office in the city. It means that he can save a day or two on
the orders that come for his produce or his produce or his stock. All over
the state, the farmers are as keenly alive to their business interests as are the
men of the city to theirs.
Producers of the food stuffs of the world, they learn of the market quo
tations for their supplies through the columns of their papers or the bulletins
that are regularly sent to thema at certain definite periods. To them, time
saved in the delivery of mail means money just as much as it means money
in the pockets of the city men.
No stronger plea for. better highways, not only in this county but in every
county of the state, could have been made than was delivered by the carriers
themselves at their annual convention. It was an unanswerable argument in
favor of improved roads.
Clackamas county has some good roads and it has some that might easily
be improved. The recommendation for the proper use of the split log drag
i? appropriate and would be effective on some of the post roads for the prompt
and easy handling of the mail, the farmers need roads to cut down the cost
of transportation to the markets, the city needs good roads to secure for its
markets the products of the country surrounding it and upon which it is de
pendent. In fact, everybody needs good roads. Everybody wants good roads. Ev
erybody sees the value, economically and from every other standpoint, for
good roads. The time has come when some of those theories should be put
into practice and when the county and every other county in the state should
see that the money now wasted on bad . roads should be saved in the pockets
of its farmers.

I BELIEVE THE THING TO DO IS TO KEEP THE FARMERS ON
THE FARM. LET THE MEN WHO KNOW FARMING KEEP AT
IT AND PROVIDE THEM WITH EVERYTHING THE CITY MAN HAS,
AND, IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE THE INDEPENDENCE OF THEIR
OWN BUSINESS.
i The reason the farmers are leaving their farms to the tenants, the
worst thing that can happen to a farm, is BECAUSE OF THEIR
CHILDREN'. Nearly every farmer sees the benefits of education, and he
is determined that his children shall have the BEST THERE IS. Un
der the present system this cannot be done, so he moves to town to edu
cate his children.
We ought to pr.ohibit the building at anything but two to four room
school buildings, with an auditorium or large recreation room. Four to
eight ordinary school districts should be joined into one and put up a
REAL SCHOOLHOUSE right in the center of the consolidated district,
employ two or three real schoolteachers and pay them as good salaries as
the teachers get in the cities. -
Then have a man with a big covered wagon haul the children living a
mile or more away to and from school. This can be done for five cents a
day per child, and it will PROMOTE REGULAR ATTENDANCE at
all times. The district should pay the expense. -
There are thirty or forty of these consolidated districts in Kansas
now, and the school work is just as high class as in the cities, and in the
five or six of these districts I have been in the farmers told me their chil
dren got AS GOOD EDUCATION IN THE GRADES AS ANY
CITY CHILD, and there was no talk' of moving to the cities among

SHAW, THE ECCENTRIC.
His Personality Compels Him to Wear
Cocoa Colored Clothes.
"I love order in sill things." said
George Bernard Shaw at a public
meeting so;tie time ago. "For this
renson I am not conteut with ordering
my life; I also order my personality
I have cocoa colored hair, so I wear
cocoa colored clothes and drink cocoa."'
Shaw today has reached the position
af becoming a public institution. For
more than twenty years he has suc
ceeded in fulfilling his boast that every
day some leading paper would have
something to say about him.
George Bernard Shaw is the jester
at the court "of Ki.ig Demos When
years ago he was appointed dramatic
critic to a well known journal he re
fused to obey the ironclad regulation
that occupants of the stalls must wear
evening dress. The first nigbt he was
stopped at the door of a theater by an
attendant. "What do you object to?"
Inquired Shaw., "My cocoa colored
jacket?" The attendant assented.
"A'ery well then." said the critic, "I
will remove it." And the next moment
he was striding up the aisle In his
shirt sleeves.
"That won't do. sir!" shouted the at
tendant, running after him.
"Won't do?" exclaimed Shaw with
a fine assumption of indignation. "Do
you think I'm going to take off any
more?" The nonplussed attendant
banded him his jacket and Shaw took
his seat in the stalls triumphantly.
During the first nine years this bril
liant man was in London his earnings
from literature brought him the prince
ly sum of 0. Now he has an income
of several thousands a year. Of that
period which he spent in want he says
with his characteristic candor: "My
mother worked for my living instead
of preaching that it was my duty to
work for her; therefore, take off your
hat to her and blush. I did not throw
myself into the struggle for life; I
threw my mother into it. I was not a
staff to my father's old age: 1 hung on
to his coat tails." London "Life.

Can't fescape Lime Salts.
In answer to a communication from
a lay correspondent, who expresses his
belief that "the lime In common water
has much to do with bringing on old
age." the London Lancet says that
while that opinion is common, it is, of
course, fatuous. To those people who
believe that water is the only possible
channel by which lime salts are' con
veyed to the organism the writer says,
"Lime salts are Inseparable from the
common, everyday articles of food, so
that if hard water were left out of the
dietary there would still be secured a
large intake of lime salts, which could
only be avoided bv a hunger strike."
THANKS.
THANK God for this bright frailty
of life.
The lyric briefness of its reckless
spring. '
Thank God for all the swift ad
venturing. The bold uncertainty, the strengthening
strife.
Thank God the world is set to such a
tune.
That life is such a' proud and crashing
wave:
That none but lifeless things shall be
time's slave.
Like the long dead but never tiring moon;
That godlike passion strangely leaps and
runs;
Tnat youth cannot grow old nor beauty
stale;
That even death is fragile and must fail
Before the winds of joy that speed the
suns.

JAPANESE TOWELING.
Runners For Breakfast Tables That
Are Artistic and Durable.
Japanese toweling can be put to
many intei'fcsting uses. It is cheap,
artistic in design and easy to launder,
so it ought to be popular.
The most usual way to make aw of
it is to make it into runners tor the
breakfast and luncheon table. These
are strips long enough to go througb
the center of the table, from end to
end, and cross it at intervals, so that
each end of each runner is used for a
place. The ends can be hemstitched,
hemmed or feather stitched.
Instead of runners, doilies can be
made of this toweling. Make them
square and hemstitch them on two
sides. Napkins for use with runners
cau be made in the same way. They
are attractive and easy to launder and
save wear and tear on more expensive
damask.
Runners for sideboard and serving
table of this toweling are attractive
for use in the simple dining room fur
nishing in blue. They can be finish
ed like the table runners.
Toweling can also be made into very
decorative curtains. These can be
hemstitched at the end which hangs
free, and hemmed to go over brass
rods. If a valance is desired, it can
be made of a strip of toweling running,
lengthwise across the top of the win
dow. This sort of valance will not
need hemstitching and seaming, as one
made of .fiections of the toweling run
ning up and down would.
Attractive couch covers are made of
several lengthwise strips of the towel
ing fagoted together with dark blue
if the design is in blue, as it usually
is. For use on a couch covered in
this way. cushions can also be covered
with the toweling. Two strips of the
toweling, fagoted together, are used for
the cushion slip cover.
