The ladies fought and bled for the ballot for many generat'ons and now that they have it they are finding that the former lords of creation., who had the ballot all the time, do not care enough about it to turn out and exercise their right. It seems to the women that this sit uation calls for an inquiry. If the men are having any fun in secretely staying away from the polls, the ladies are going to nip that joy in the bud. They may yet pass a law requiring every man to vote, to wear a white collar and to shave twice a week. If a man ia too dense to appreciate the beauties of citizenship he should be taken in hand by the law. their mail all right, no matter what label the foreign writer af fix.

MATKLMOMAL JAILS That young woman in the cast who offered herself in marriage to the man who would spend $3, 000 to complete her education has already returned to work. So much publicity was given to the terms of her offer that a num ber of men proposed to take her up. The girl inarrisd one of them, but left him inside of a month. She gets neither the $3000 nor the education. The man sh picked turned out to be a barber with polygamous morals. The young wife indicated jealousy and behaved as if ft was a husband and not an education she craved. The result was an almost instant break. The education the bride ga'ned was not what she had planned, but it is hoped it did her sorns good. Possibly it will make her a trifle more circumspect in future marrying operations. go hand in hand.

She was weary and very sleepy, and quite disinclined to rouse herself sufficiently to write down the lines.

They will probably receive economical, but finds that they Herbert Hoover's first report as secretary of commerce shows a saving of something like $4,000. 000 from the estimates of the cost of his department. This would be in accordance with a program of economy and efficiency, but Secretary Hoover is not anxious to make a record for economy alone. He desires a reorganiaa tion of his department as an ag ency for the extension of Ameri can trade and industry.

The materials needed -are card board, crayons, or Ink, or water- : colors, a thin stick of wood, and ; a sharp knife. - . Our picture shows how the Jumping jack la constructed. The figure is cut from the cardboard with the knife. The head and the ! body are cut In one piece. Each leg mud arm Is made separate. A ' small hole is made in each shoul der and t both sides .of the bot tom of the coat. Two holcs.are made In the ends of each arnt and kg. - - ' V-.-r- : .

Fasten the legs to thd body in the same way. The back view of the jumping jack shows how this is done. Tie a piece of string to the cordthat holds the arms Iu place, and then tie the same string to the one that holds the legs. By pulling on this string, the arms and legs of the jumping jack may be made to move in a most amusing and grotesque man ner. For the handle of the jumping jack, and to give the figure: tinrt ness, use the istick of wood tacked to the body with small brads or glued. The coloring of the figure, is up to you suit yourself.

The only thing they all agreed about was that be was good for nothing. "He's such a nuisance," Mrs. Paler fussed. "He's always in my way; he's always running off with slippers and dragging bones into the house, and coming in with muddy feet. We ought to get rid of him." "His fondness for our neigh bors' chickens." observed Mr. Palmer, "ia always getting us in bad. It won't be long until either the dog has to move out or we do." "He just a cur." sighed Sis ter. "If only he were an aristo-cratic-looklng dog that I would be proud to show to my friends!" "He hasn't any spunk." growled Billy. "He won't fight and he's just downright lazy. He's some dog." Then one evening the pup fail ed to show up for bis usual dish of bones. Billy called and whist led, but no lop-eared, rough haired pup came sneaking in out of the shadow. Several times that evening Billy went out to call him, but The Pup did not ap pear. Nor did the dog come next day. Billy inquired around about him a little anxiously, "isn't that Pup back yet?" -Mr. Talmer asked at dinner. "Itealways used to come running to meet me. Seems kind of queer not to see him. Why don't you look for him or adver tise or something?" "1 hate to throw out a" the?: good scraps." sighed Mrs. Palmer. "He's such an affectionate little thing." said Sister. "I hope aoni one isn't treating him cruelly. It was so cunning the way he'd come In and put his head on my lap to be petted."

Editor Statesman: Will you kindly give me a lit tle space in your paper. I see by the paper that the governor has called, or is going to call an extra session of the legislature to take up the matter of regulatinp: the traffic on our highways and tho 192 5 fair. This is son-.cinrng that ought to be done, and while our lawmak ers are in session I think it would b? a good thing to introduce a bill making it unliwful for the board of control to go out of the state to hire a man to fill any state po sitions. 1 think that would be a good law and ought to be on our statute books. I think it is an insult to the people of Oregon when the governor and secretary of stata say they looked all over the state of Oregon and couldn't find anyone in the state capable of filling the position of superin tendent ot the boys' training school. I think we have as good men in Oregon as any state in the union; furthermore I think there is as good a man at the head of Special Message from Shipley's Won't you please try and shop mornings?
