Fraternal Order and Societies, The unattached young man who Is in a position to serve his country, but who declines to do so, will not look back on his course with any satisfaction. Ho may have avoided sonic little risk, but he may be tak ing just as many chances every day in other ways.

Somp men offer as an excuse for their failure to accomplish certain results,, or to enjoy certain advan tages, that they "haven't time." The trouble is the.t so many men try to do several things at once and in the scramble overlook something. Frequently, the Item overlooked is one of the most important. The man who makes things h'ap pen and achieves great results usu ally does one thing at a time, closes the transaction, then takes up an other in logical order, and by careful efficient planning manages to get i everything done on schedule and have time left.

From Portland ho traveled down tho Pacific Highway to Los Angeles, reaching here early in November.

Appeals for enlisting In the navy. rniy and National Guard are be'ng Issued by the federal government and many of tlio states. The effort to pet recruits Is not new, and for years the government and the mlllt'a have hwn working for more men. An elaborate system of recruiting offices Is ma'ntalned. Although men are romlng forward much better than thev did, they nre not being received In tlift numbers needed. Tho newspapers can help by set ting forth the good reasons why young men should enlist. These ar guments fire rend In cold blood, and men don't a'ways act on lotjlo and argument. They wait until the lead ers of tbe'r own crowds set, and they come forward with a rush. It takes tbe enthusiasm and sp'rlt of a popu lar movement to bring them on. Unmarried mrn owe something to their countrv fit time like this. Tli"V have lind the Mslnes of ,free und democratic Instittit'ons. Life hps been male ensy for them by pop ular government. While In other countries they would be set at grlnd nc: tell at a preroc'ous nee, enfee bling them physically and dwarf'ng them mentally, in our land they cet the chance to f?o to school and to mnke good In life. These blessings are the result of the sacrifices and heroisms of thnpe that went before Every Bpnrat'nn bns Its own problems to solve and the young men must solve them. If there Is dancer of a foregn war the young men must stand In th pap ss thIr fathers stood before them. To do less than . that It slacking and shirking "I would certainly recommend any one else who is going to buy a ranch, and who can spare the time and mon ey, to look around, Just as we did," said Mr. Stewart last week., "IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL TRIP, AND WE HAVE MADE UP OUR MINDS THAT THE COUNTRY AROUND ASHLAND, ORE., WILL SUIT US BEST." Wants Ceremony For New Voters State Superintendent of Public In struction Churchill announced re cently that ho had endorsed a plan, formulated by E. E. Halcomb, head of the rural education department of the Normal Industrial College of North Carolina, for recognizing on Independence day of each year, with proper ceremonlr.i. the advent of young men and women to the at:e of suffrage. He proposes that the cere monies shall be a part of tho Fourth of July e.eb'brat'on, and that young electors shall, f.mong other things, take tho oath of allegiance to tho nation. "You can Imagino fathers and mothers and whole families turning out on tho Fourth of July to such n ceremony for the big brother and s's ter," wrote Mr. Halcomb in asking Superintendent Churchill for his in dorsement. He is also of the opinion that It would Induce immigrants to bocomo citizens. Additional recogn' tlon would 1)3 g'ven those having es pecially prepared for citizenship by study or through a course of lec turrs Mr. Balcomb Is endeavoring to procure the co-operation of all state superintendents, and their en dorsements will he used to obtain co operation 'from other organizations "I beRevo that your plan is a most excellent one for making efficient citizens for the slate," wroto Super intendent Churchill In reply. "Where proper exercises aro held ana tne proper recogn't'on Is given those who within the next year are to be come qualified voters, fuller realiza tion of the duties end responsibilities of cit'zenshlp will bo brought home to all, and the right of every citizen to participate In th3 affairs of gov ernment will be more highly prized." I. X. Clark and G. Calllghan of Oakland, Cal., have taken a long- term lease of tho box factory at North Bend from the Southern Pa cific Company and bought the ma chinery from F. W.

Eugene Guard: The Eugent Chamber of Commerce has taken up the plan for the cultivation of all city lots as a patriotic movement to aid the nation In time of war by keeping down the cost of living.

Salem Journal: As a result of the board of control calling the attention o Warden Murphy to the fact that the monthly maintenance cost of the penitentiary was too high, the resig nations of several guards at the pen itentiary have been requested.

Sheridan, guards, have left the service of the state. Mr. The number of employers subject to the workmen's compensation law during the second year of operation of the law was 6,594, according to the annual report of the state Indus-1 trial accident commission This was an Increase of 29 5 per cent over the number under the law at the end of the first year, and 50.4 per cent greater than the total at the time the law first became effective.

More- The Booth Kelly Lumber Com pany's sawmill at Springfield will re sume operations after a shut-down of several weeks because of the ln ab'lity of the company to operate its logging camps above Wendling on account of the deep snow in the mountains. The company has been shipping logs In from the Riuslaw country, on the Coos Day branch of Roseburg Review: Believing that new ore has been revealed at the fam ous Todd quicksilver mine near Yon calla, which far surpasses any that has been discovered heretofore, E. B. Perrine and a crew of about six new employes left here this morning to begin operations on an extensive scale. The story of the new ore was brought down last night by Dayton Williams, who Is well known here, and who has been engaged at the mine for the past several weeks. It Immediately caused considerable ex citement among local persons who have been interested since the late resumption of activities. Marshfleld Record: Deputy Asses sor Charles Dungan, who was In the West Fork territory recently, above Allegany, heard whllo there astonish ing reports of destruction of deer by wildcats and panthers. Peter Michel- brink, who is a rancher in that neigh borhood. had seen the carcasses of five deer that had been killed by an imals. The ranchers say nobody takes any lnteiest these days in hunt ing down varmints because of the very low bounties paid. For wildcats the county pays only $2 and the ranchers believe the county should place the bounty at the old figures, $5, and this they claim would arouse more Interest among hunters. The farmers on the Wost Fork say the country has more deer than for any season in years.. Silver Lake Leader: Stockmen are driving all their cattle strong enough to make the trip from the big Klam ath marsh region to northern Lake county to be fed until the range Is suitable for pasture. Among the weH known stockmen to bring In herds hero the past week are: J. H. Lane, 375; JH H. Beckley, 350; T. C. Hamilton, 110. and Pat Jackson, 30. Several hundred more are looked for wlthtln the next few days. Auto Pays the Bonds For State Roads "That $6,000,000 Is a large sum to take away from the taxpayers," Is an assertion being made a good deal In commenting upon the pend ing road bond issue. The assertion Is based upon a prevalent misunderstanding of what the act Involves. Nothing In the act requires any In crease of taxation In order to get the $6,000,000. It Is the automobile which pays the money. Auto license fees have been doubled, and with a normal increase In the number of ma chines owned In Oregon the fees will more than cover the Interest and the sinking fund payments to retire th entire bond Issue. Should there be no Increase at all In the number of autos used, It would still be unnecessary to raise taxes, for the extra money. needed would come from tho present quarter-mill road tax. be glad to Increase it Is necessary In order that evry farmer in the comi ty may have it least a pure bred bull and as many pure bred heifers or cows as be can afford.
