THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OPJCGON , SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1924 jrlThsr-Outlarxtler Nok Ions ago a Salera paper con Ulnei a letter, Wfltteii la protest gaiilsi the careless fcabit of folks ia bearing paper up.tnto. little bits andl throwing it 'jpn the. beautiful lawti at the jxo'stofflee and court ho,4se. The writer of the letter win quite indignant and suggested that the city cotrncit, take the pro per steps to fine etrr;sticn of teJKjer $5 for toe.'ffri'toffense and luore for iUbseueh.'tiWtSfans. Careful observatlrt since that let ter appeared prove that the , writ er of It was right. People are care less about littering up those lawns and tiny bita of paper.' ar almost impossible to pick up. And there ate other offenders than the paper jfarers. Erery Thorning at exact ly 8:43 a mild mannered substan tial citizen comes aown ;Cottage afreet, crosses Court tp the corner of the postoffice square and take's jthe winding walk, to the west en- trance. He smoke? a' pipe, and just before mounting, tfle terrace, steps . he Invariably knocks the ashes but on. the stone balustrade on the north side of the steps.' and puts the pipe in h pocket, i Careful computation disclose thai " this " '-man has deposited Ihef since Jan nary first the residue bt 27 15 cent 'cans of Prince Velvet, which is 'enough to arouse the Indignation ' pf every ' good .cltiien.'n Further more It has been eonservatiyely estimated, thai by the first of July the ashes placed.hjr that balus trade, if placed end to end would reach from the postofriee to Steel hammer's drug store in Bilyerton. But the worst is still to comev At 8fi M thU man emerges from the postoffic, comei "down the steps and. Is met by a crony who Bays. "Good.aiornlng" and then puck en, Up his face and squirts J. T. at the ash pile, using the balus trade as a bang board -'ptu3 Spat!" Just like that. All of which Irks our sense of the pro prieties and 'our love pf the un smeared beauties of carefully nur tured nature. We gotta do some thing about It. WhaPa the matter with teome "No Spittiri signs and a, 95 fine for the first man who make a pucker? .' Rer. Crowder Bays that one rea son chickens do so well in this vi cinity Is that this Is a good Metho dist community. He claims that tHe chicken Is a llethodlst bird. ; i Traffic rules on the sidewalks ate about the same as those In the streets. Ton should always keep ti the right; but. of course, If the dry goods and millinery ? display windows happen to be on that side. It Is a case of "gents to the left. " ' Last week 'a newcomer, from Michigan,. .was Introduced., to .a newspaper reporter. r The Mlchl gandef. shook bauds effusively and turped loose a yocalt torrent, con glomerated , of "beautiful city, magnificent Ecenefy, -wonderful cli mate, garden spot of the world. 'geatdustrial center, finest, in the world. etc. The reporter "gave him a languid hand, a pallid smile and a fl&hy eye, and at the first opportunity excused himself and strolled away. Fire minutes later the reporter was asked: "Why dfdn't yon warm np to that fellow? He acted like a booster." "O, pif fle!" answered the reporter, "We hear so much of that 'beautiful Balcm bonk that It gives us the willies. Somebody ought to ap point a committee of patience to listen to the gush of travelers and reljete tis. What that fellow want ed was to see his name in print as a pleading citizen of Podunk or wherevpr it is ' he came from."

Thisv S pronotincecl fey competent judges- as the most nrtjsjic prepared especially to aexompany. tecture. worth getting. A little maneuver ing established conversational re lations with the Michigander, and he was asked how he liked Salem and the Willamette valley. He looked suspiciously . at the ques tioner, but finally said: "Well, since yon ask me, X don't mind saying that it Is the most beautiful and wonderful I ever saw; but I had about made up my mind to quit saying anything about it. Folks' here don't seem to like it. When' I start praising the town and country, . they act' as though they-thought I was trying to 'slip something over on them, and they sneak away, like that young fellow did that I v introduced to a, few minutes -ago. I find that saying pretty things makes one lonesome here." , And 1 tliere you are! In' California they crucify the new comer if he doe not immediately begin singing the praises of the country. In L Salem they crucify him if he does. Wonder if this has anything to do with the. ap parent necessity for putting Calif ornia labels on choice Oregon fruit? . ' t . . .. - . , ; . The editor of the Statesman Is absolutely right, of course. Lad ies who play bridge and five hun dred and receive a trinket costing maybe a dollar aaa prize, are not gambling and have a-right to' re sent the imputation. And by the same' token, men who play rummy and' incidentally receive a slip of pasteboard with which they can bny a nickel's worth of peanuts or a cigar, are not gambling eith er, and have an equal right to re sent the imputation. Either of them would play just the same and enjoy it Just as-much it' no prize or "hlckey" was oiiered, ana tne worst that can be said of them is that they are foolishly frittering away time which might be much more profitably used. , Now let's quit being hysterical and imposing harsh snap judgement on people we don't know and places we nev er visit. . With bouyant delight all good citizens note the fulsome praise that is being: handed out to the chicken industry by the Statesman lately, and also the comprehensive figures that ire being printed to prove that the Statesman is not only the alert and well informed family newspaper with Its sensi tive fingers properly placed on the commercial pulse of this com munity and state, bat that . the poultry business Is one of the real ly big industries, and that Marion county is its headquarters. , With real awe we read the egg statis- i A 'ij'-- i" ,rHr isS - tics, and such other items as that one about one hatchery; getting a single order for sixteen thousand (16.000 count 'em!) chicks. AH this is as it should toe. It Is high time that biddy, and her ef forts receive proper recognition. Not more than 20 years ago -the chickens on a farm were about as Important as the old cat and her kittens.! You could buy 'em for three dollars a dozen, and eggs were worth about eight cents in the summer time and 15 in the winter. And It wasn't biddy's fault any of the time. She kept right on doing her best and vociferously trying to tell folks that If they would quit making so much fuss over wheat ; and . corn and cattle and machinery and horses and pay a little more attention to her she would make them rich, But the fool, farmers kept right on doing the things they ought not to, cuss ing the government, and throwing things at biddy when she roosted on the buggy seat. But it's differ ent now. She does and says what she pleases and struts at will hith er .and yen. She has attained to the dignity of a mortgaglifter. ' i ... ' All hall to the hen, the old speck led hen, the hen of great pride and renown; The hen who lays eggs-every day in the week, some white, some a delicate brown. The hen is a grand institution; ln deed, she's a daisy, and ev'ry , man should ' ' Praise the hen who lays eggfi at least, one every day and would lay two sometimes if she could. i '.
