It Is stated In Paris today that Germany has raado overtures to IJel gulra for stopping tho war botweon those two countries but that Belgium rejected tho advances. Unofficial rumors from Paris an nounces tho capitulation of tho lar ger part of tho Austrian armies.

An official report from Berlin says n British submarine sank tho Gor man cruiser Hola. VALUE OF SCHOOL DAYS :"S: I3IIOOL DAYS, school days, dear old golden rlilo days," liavo boon reduced to a mat tor of dollars nnd cents by tho United States Bureau of Education. .Arithmetically, according to tho bu- .reau, tho lad who leaves tho school room to accept n Job boforo reach lug high school and gets 1 a day, loses, by so doing ?8 per day. , It's all figured out In graphic charts in tho bureau's exhibit at tho exposition. Tho Federal author ities liavo collected statistics, and this 1b what they provo: Unskilled or uneducated labor averages $500 a year during a work ing Ilfetlmo of forty years, or $20, 000. High school graduatos cam, on an nrorago, $1000 a year through out a working career of forty years, ,or'40,000. To go to school twolvo years for .180 days a year, consumes 2160 days of childhood. Slnco tho educated man earns In jhls Ilfetlmo $20,000 moro than tho .uneducated man, this $20,000 must ,bo chalked up to tho days tho edu cated man spends In school. Tlioro nro 2 1C0 of thCBo days. Divide ,$20,000 by 21 CO days and you huvo $9.02, which Is tho school child's earning capacity. In oilier words, a child that leaves school to accept any Job that pays less than $0 n day Is losing monoy. JIo must Insist on what's coming to him and get it. WITH THE TOAST AND THE TEA $ GOOD EVENING i Tho greatest man living may stand in need of tho meanest, nB much as tho meanest does of him, Ful- . lor. TUN SONUS OK SCHOOL How dear to my heart are tho scenes of my childhood, Illumined In tho mirror of mem ory 'h pool; How greatly with Joy would my soul bo beguiled, could I wandor back homo to tho old village school; I gaze forth, observing all ovor tho city Tho children preparing for school work anow, 'And, truly, 1 feol It Is somowhat a Pity That grown-ups Illcu mo can't get In on It, too. , Oil, Muse, get my fiddle and rosin tho bow well!

Dean CoJaiia. It would help some If moro r.f the men who drlvo cars had homo sense. Thero Isn't an fun In fishing If you have to catch fish for a living. When a Coos Bay girl marrlos she usually loses a good friend and gt a grouchy hoarder. The Coos Bay man who loafs ground and owes everybody In town Is the same fellow who In deeply worried because tho Pana ma Canal Isn't paying oxpenses. That which comes to him who wnlts Is only that which tho man who doesn't wait doesn't want. One can always tako courage by throwing oneself Into some work. Ti: WISE GUY SAYS I "A man won't buy tho samo package of green goods twice. But he will go right ahead and get married tho second time." "Conscience may help some. But tho fear of getting caught Is what keeps most of us straight." You can mako a woman madder by Ignoring her than by calling her names. What is tho use of fussing around and courting a girl for two years when you can cop her out or know whero you stand tho very first night you meet her?

Some September Sayings Helpful Where many others hurried by, Yon smiled as one whose heart was light And caused ine to forget that I Had room within my breast for spite; Because yotir eyes were all n-glow ' "With friendly gladness when wc met You made the morning bright, and so Have left me deeply in your debt. I know not whither you may fare !Nor what high hopes may urge you on, But may your pallis lead far from care, Your joys increase from dawn to dawn. You gave me but a passing glance, And smiling, hurried on your way; I pause to bless tho happy chance That made me better all the day. Selected. THE RISKS OF LIFE OPTIMISM Is life, and advonturo Is taking a chance. Pompeii and Hurculancum wcro popular cit ies under Vesuvius shadow. Mes sina has beon moro than onco re built upon a site peculiarly earth quake's own. Repealed shakings havo not daunted tho splendid spir it of our San Francisco. Lisbon at tho Tagus' mouth lost fifty thous and lives In tho 18Mi century by a tidal wave Inducod by Solsmlc forc es, and forgot tho catastropho over night so to speak. Galvoston has constructed n bastion on a oandsplt In tho Gulf of Mexico. Recently, for tho second tlmo In fifteen years tho Gulf has dono Its best to overwhelm her, but the Jubilant noto Bounded by her citizens told of their deter mination to continue sitting tight upon her precarious anchorage. Tho unconquerable spirit of man kind that persists In tho faco of dan ger, that takes long chances and short, that robullds destroyed towns on sites certain to bo rovislted by catastrophes this, unconquerable spirit Ib a resultant of tho conditions of life. If ono would llvo, ono must take chances, If n pcoplo mean to conquer cither naturo or a placo In tho world for themselves, they must give hostages to fortuno nnd must bo prepared for sudden death. Gal veston nnd San Francisco as Instanc es merely exaggerate what Is tho common lot. Thoso who Imagine that every body ought to bo and can bo mado comfortable and sccuro In this ox Istnnco Indulge in a dream. And could It bo fulfilled. It wouldn't tn conscquonco bo desirable. For life Is an adventure, and death Ib an adventure greater still. And tho ad vonturo, tho necessity of It, Is what keys up to action, prompts us to achievement, makes living not dull and vegetarian, but Intorostlng nnd of account. Somo risk must be, or action Is not worth while. Society and civilization do con splro to increaso tho comfort nnd security, but thoy aro no complete Insurance. Nor Is complete lnBiir nnco wanted. For .It Is vorlflablo that a fat and prosperous communi ty may bo too protected, too Immune, and that a city dally defying hos tlio forces may by tho act bo spur ring to greater efforts and loftier deeds. Wo will not abolish risks, not ov rn should we succocd In eliminating wars, along with plagues and fam ines nnd poverty. Lifo itself is a risk which ends In death. Naturo always has tho power to wlpo us, retail or wholosalo, oft tho map. This Solar Systom at any moment may encounter a wondering dark star and end in ono grand explosion, Wo aro not sccuro, and do not want to be. Life of the stalled ox variety would bo without zest. Gal veston will continue to nail herself down upon her spit ns Naples con tines to do business alonglde her old volcano and San Froncico builded thp worlds greatest exposition on tho nbhes of her ruins. To llvo, to ad venture, to dory the chances that Is what humanity has beon doing many thousand years, But that thoy havo como to what they nro, driving aeroplanes today In tho sky, sailing under tho seas, and speed ing motor cars a hundred mllos an hour, So'ueone has suggested tho Seven C's a" a shlold for n Chamber of Commerce Seal for the county. It U figured out that this would givo tho Initials of tho organization and tho county's chief products, thus Coos c-ounty C-hamber of O-ommorco I C-heeso Cows C-hildron, WHILE PASSING THIS WAY IN THIS busy llfo of ours do you tako time to think how quickly tho years are passing forever away. In the great stream of tlmo, many nations nnd Institu tions havo arisen and later been swept away by tho merciless rav ages of Tlmo, but each has left n record which Is of great value to tho race. So In order that tho advancement of man to higher planes by ono firm and unbroken movement, every good and wiso In fluence Is needed. We should Btrlvo for tho uplifting nnd expanding of the good in heart and Intellect, and for tho overthrow of evil. Wo aro passing this way but once and why not cultlvato tho best that Is In us nnd give the best to our fol low traveler along Life's way. A COURTSHIP ERROR UK CAN'T CORRECT "I MADE one serioua mlstako when I courted my wife," said a well-known Coos Bay man in a confidential mood tho other evening. "I told her sho was too good for mo, and that I had been a pretty bad boy, but It alio would only havo me, I'd straighten up and llvo n' different' life. Now tho fact Is I wasn't a Very bar fellow d I Just put that kind of a story ovor because most girls llko to think they havo great Influeuco for good over bad boys. But after wo got married my wlfo watched mo like a hawk. She got confiden tial with all mv friends nnd tried to find out air about what I had been doing boforo sho met mo, and when sho couldn't run anything down on mo sho became Imbued with tho belief that I was a very sly dog besides being as wicked us I had led her to bollevo I was. She is suspicious of every move I mako, nnd It is getting on ray nerv es to such an extent that tho peace and quiet of our happy home is In danger. And it's nil my fault. I tried to bo smart and make hoi- think I was a helova fel low and that I was reforming all for hor sake. Now I belioves she would liko mo hotter It sho could dig up somo old scandal on mo Just to Justify tho bluff I put up on hor when I wns keeping company with her. But next tlmo I will know better," ho said with a long sigh. LEST AVE FORGET Think gontly of tho erring ono And lot us not forget Howover dully stained by sin Ho Is our brother yet. Heir of tho samo Inheritance, Child of tho seir-samo God, Ho hath but stumbled In tho path Which wo all in weakness trod. Speak gently to tho orilng one, For Is It not sad enough That innocence and peace has gono Without the censuro rough? It must bo a weary lot For a sin crushed heart to bear And thoy who sharo a happier fato Their chidlngs well may spare. Speakln kindly to tho erring ono, Thou yet mayst lead him back With holy wisdom nnd tones of love From misery's thorny track, i Forgot not thou hast often sinned And sinful still you be, Deal gently with the erring ono As God and mnn has dealt with theo. C.,J. M. Wo will say this much for the glrlB: Tho ones who uso peroxide are not tho only light headed ones on Coos Bay, Marriage Is llko Beautiful Japan on tho Zone at tho San Francisco Fair. It doesn't cost much to get in, but It costs a lot before you tot out. J,iUl jjatTgT S '"x1 ttiTp GIFTS FOR EVERY OCCASION BRIDGE PRIZES ' FAVORS CANDLES, BEES WAX, MISSION AND BAY BERRY !...
