Recently the editor touched upon a most timely subject, that of the girl who works and the girl who gads, says an exchange. Every com munity has a type of each. The girl who gads and loafs around the busi ness places, not only loses her self respect, but the respect of others. The reason for her not having fitted herself for any special work in life, is not always due to her lack of inter est is acquiring an education, but perhaps to ignorant parents who through lack of the proper kind of Ietl training and discipline, have their girls grow up without any cor rect Ideals of life and living. Some parents presume to know more about training of children than the Al mighty, himself. Instead of "train ing of their children in the way thy should go," they turn them loose to follow their own inclinations: ?s a gentleman said about a mother who , had reared a bad set of children ' She was never a mother to thoss chtl dren, because she never made them obey; she turned them loose for the devil 'to raise, and be raised them, bringing dishonor and disgrace to the home." Girls, get an education; be self reliant. Fit yourselves for teachers, stenographers, bookkeepers, or some other honorable position. Don't gad. Such conduct shows a lack of good training In the home. Let ev ery home be a kingaom and every mother a queen who rules her chil dren right royally, and bring them np to be first-class men and women, who are blessings to the home and to the world. GREATER COOS RAY. Coos Bay presents a winsome spectacle these days that even the winter rains cannot make gray with gloom. Under the soft haze of the day when the sun that pepps in and out from the clouds, the impression Is of irrepressible progress. New structures in every stage being hur ried forward; streets transformed everywhere; business being rushed along all lines; everywhere men hur rying all the slght3 and sounds that are seen and heard when the lethar gy of the village is cast off, and the exultant onward, upward sweep of the city begins. As the year draws near its close .the tremendous work that It has accomplished becomes more and more apparent. It has been a great year. Looking at the city today and remembering what it was only a year ago, the change 13 most striking. And it has only just begun. The songs of progress are In the air, and will not be stilled; rather it 13 to swell into one deep diapason to rins in the greater Coos Bay that is to be. SEND DELEGATE TO WASHING TON.

POLITIVAL advertising SipTV,C RCDI ' jljj J p III ft 1 IS SILL DIE MARSHFIELD, Nov. !S. 'OS. Editor Times: i Will you print the following letter of a Marshfield business man to a business man in Ohio. It was writ- jten some time ago and was forward- ed to mp It )inire that TfA .tiittirt be what w, . f6f we mlght hurt the ty's credit where we ned a gQod Bame D , SMALl MARSHFIELD. Or Rnt i -ns w w Horton, E?q., Cincinnatti, Ohio. Dear Sir: Your letter asking me Jto give you the facts in regard to much system, I am bound to say that while I have had an opportunity to observe, there has been a persis tent and intell'gent effort made by i' leading men, to place the city gov ernment on a sound basis. This ef fort has been remarkably successful. System has been introduced into the managements of the city finances and into its general administration. The call to Marshfield to leave the village condition and get to "a busi ness basis" was due to the. sudden realization that it was entitled to the growth which large resources and a good commercial harbor justified. The inhabitants showed full capacity to meet the demands of the new situation. They neither fost their heads nor refused to progress, and in the last year the whole appearance of the city has changed. A new high school, a five-story brick hotel, many fine business buildings, three of which are brick or cement, and a large number of residences have been built in that short time. Sever al mills and factories employ in the neighborhood of six hundred men. The city has fully 5,000 people and Is growing. The property owners, under the guidance of a vigorous and progressive city government, have constituted and paid for a remark able system of street improvements, several of the business streets being paved with asphalt and several with planking. The city has electric lights, a gas light system, a water system, and all the modern improve ments. Marshfield's assessed valuation for 1907 was $1,791,549. Its assess ment for 190S will probably bo $2, 250,000. It has an Indebtedness of $42,000. An indebtedness of $42,000 is very slight for such a city. You will appreciate this still more when I tell you that if the city should sell its municipal assets and realize on them today; this indebtedness would be entirely paid. It would not be desirable to do this', of course, but I mention it to show that its finances are absolutely sound. It Is in far better shape than many business men whose credit is above suspicion. This is important if it should undertake to fund its debt which is more out standing in the form of warrants. Apart from its tax levies the city has: City Hall on waterfront with lot worth $S,000; lot on waterfront at Third street, worth $5,000; lot on which future city hall Is planned $3,500; city park, $10,000. About four acres of public ground were used as Potter's field, "close in," $5,000; new jail, $1,200; fire en gines and apparatus, $7,000; street roller, $3,600; total, $43,300. I have no doubt the value of the real estate assets will Increase far beyond the amount of indebtedness before the bonds are due. You will agree with me that the city's finances are unusually sound. Let me also assure you that, while men may disagree as to the proper policy for the administration to pur sue, all agree that It is both honest In purpose, and patriotic In spirit. I do not know of a city in the United States' of the same slzo which Is en titled to a better record and I have no question that its people, its gov ernment, Us finances and Its securi ties will compare with those of any city in Ohio or any state east of there. I shall be glad to give you any Information I can and will answer any inquiries you wish to make. Yours respectfully, FRANCIS H. CLARKE!
