seems jaded, and the poetic offerings seldom rise above the
tree-tops. If there are no Shakespeares and Miltonswho
roll through the ocean of thought, nor yet Valcuaan foun
tains like Bobbie Burns to tempt the wayfarer, there is a
company of poets whose work is of no -mean order and who
keep alive the poetic tradition. It does seem fitting in a
week like this I to pay attention to these living poets like
E- A. Robinson. Robert Frost. Edwin Markham and others
whose work is a real Inspiration In this cold, hard age. Sa
lem was honored last night by the visit of three Oregon
poets of real achievement and even greater promise: How
ard McKinley Corning, Verne Bright and Mrsi Ethel Romig
Fuller, whose poetic readings proved a real inspiration.
In one of his. choicest orations, "Pro Archia" alas too
little known, the great Roman orator Cicero-gave an elo
quent tribute to poetry and literature. Pleading for the
Roman citizenship of this Greek-born poet, he who had in
veighed bitterly against Cataline, paid homage to the poet:
"Yoa will no doubt utme, Gratlua. account tor the deep
interest I fel In my friend- It la becaase he provides refresh
ment for my spirit afteV the clamor of the courts, and repose
I for senses Jaded by their vulgar wrangling. "Do you think 4hat

i a variety of topics, did I not cultivate my -mind with study, or ,
that my mind could endure so great a atrain, did not study too
provide It with, relaxation t I am a votary of literature, and
make the confession unashamed I
Here is-his famous panegyric to literature: j
"Other pursuits belong not to all times all ages, all condl
- tlons; but this gives stimulus to our .youth and" diversion to
our old age; this adds a charm to success, aad offers a haven
. ef consolation to failure. In the heme it deUghts. in the world
it hampers not. Through the night-watches, on all our Jour
neying, aad in our hours of country ease, it la our unfailing
ronrnanion."
So nluch for the solace of poetry to .the individual. We
may quote again from this great oration as to the duty of
society for the cultivation of the fine arts of j which poetry
is one: " "
"Saxa et solitudlnes voce -respondeat: bestiae saepe Immanea
cantu flectuntmT atqae consistent; nos instltutl in rebus optimis
non poetarnm voee moveamar?" " I.
(Rocks aad solitudes respond to--the Toice; 'Often savage
beasts are moved by singing and atand still; are not we, edu
cated in the best things, moved by the voice of the poets?)
Poetry Week may after all prove of real worth in di
recting public attention to poets living and dead whose
songs help make the world
while.

Our wastage is a terrible indictment of our modern

schools in carrying yeeth over the critical years of adol

Many more popla are now d

was the custom
then to pre

quantities o f

vegeUbles available from their

with th nse of modern metn-

a position to plac on the market,
foods that wiU keep longer and
will also have a higher vitamin
content than home preserved

There has come into use In the
past few years, preservation of
certain vegetables for feeding ot
infants and children. The vege
tables are processed so that they
are ready for use after .warming
and this has been found to be a
great time saver for busy mothers.
When traveling in the summertime
these vegetable preparations . are
very handy since they occupy very
quickly and without much labor.
They are recommended for Infant
feeding as being a safe and whole-:
some product.
Fallacy Exploded
Most' vegetables and fruits are
eanned In tin reeeprJcals and con
trary to the- belief of many people
there- is not the least danger In
opening a , can and leaving the
contents stand in the can for soma
time. If placed in a refrigerator
the contents will keep even longer
than when transferred to another
dish or receptacle.
Another fallacy has been ex
ploded about canned vegetables:
they are fresher and contain -more
vitamins than those stored for a
ong time In bins or cellars be
cause the air is excluded and all
bacteria being killed. For this
and. other reasons wo find today
that canned foods are in most
cases good wholesome foods.

ritated by Travers' lack of holi
day spirit, terms him unselfish.
Brought to his senses, he joins
his mother and Mary Lou In de
livering gifts to the needy.
CHAPTER XXV.
Lorrlmer said very little, but
Mary. Lou could sense his unhap
ptness, his uneasiness. It would
not, she thought, hurt him. And
t might help.
The last address on the list
reached and taken care of, Lorrl
mer, glancing at his mother's
notebook, indicated the consid
erable remainder of the packages
and asked:

Address to the chauffeur.
Lorrlmer said nothing for a
minute. Then he muttered:
"No not there ... I can't"
''Ton needn't come In. Lorry.
said Mary Lou, "you can wait
outside with Rodgers."
Her voice was perfectly friend
ly but a little cool. Lorrlmer did
not reply, on the long ride up
town he was silent, struggling
with himself. Black memories
thronged him. He couldn't. It
wasn't in him. It was Inhuman to
ask it of him I He'd tried -to for
get -. . tried. Tet he must, he
had to do it, whether he could or
not. Out of sheer stubborn pride,
to show her that he wasn't quite
the weakling she thought him.
Not quite.
So he went Into the place with
them, the bare echoing place with
its smelt of disinfectant, its
speechless story ot patience and
suffering, its silent record of fail
ure and success.
Oat of flw Part
He walked through the ward to
which Mrs. Lorrlmer, followed by
Mary Lou and Rodgers, made her
way. Walked through It, not look
ing to right or left. Just remem
bering. And suddenly he heard a
Toice . . i
: "Lieutenant ..; Lorrlmer!
A ' husky voice, broken .... a
shattered voice. For this was the-J
tubercular ward, from which
transfers were made to the up
state sanitariums.
Lorrlmer started, turned . . and
halted beside a bed.
"Mac!"
Sure! Gosh! where're you
been? I've tried to get In touch
with you, but guess the address
was wrong. Gee, you look great!
What A lucky break!"
He was thin and very dark, the
shadow of a man, with the most
eager eyes In the world, the most
wMmstaal and the most gallant
smile.

of elk. wild horses and buffaloes,
as dogs do sheep In this country,
seldom desisting until they have
destroyed great numbers., One or
two instances will serve to illus
trate their indomitable perserer
ence: ?'One of these creatures persued
a noble stag, till, overcome by
fright and fatigue, it sought re
fuge in the mission yard, where
the boy (no doubt Indian boys)
were milking. Another time a
party of 70 men of the Hudson's
Bay company were at rendezvous,
when a large, beautiful deer fled
Into the camp, chased by A wolf.
And actually hid its head between
the knees of one ot the men, as if
trustingly imploring ' protection;
Its fear ot the savage foe banish
ing its 'shyness of the human
race."
: V W
- It is possible that among the
"boys" who were milking in the
old mission yard were Sandwich
Islanders. The Hudson's. Bay
company had scores, even hun
dreds of .these people working at
old Fort Vancouver, and In the
diaries and correspondence of the
missionaries these natives from
the Hawaiian group' are often
mentioned as workers, and they
went under the designation of
"boys," like foreign residents. of
India call the native workers
there, the same being true la Afri
ca, The "boy" was often a very
old man, but he was nevertheless

Hejj stayed pearly an hour, while
