The Right to Vote WE had a great electiorrrecently. Candidates were named for important offices: senator, mayor, congressman, presidential delegates, aldermen, county sheriff, state treas urer. The election was well advertised. For weeks the voters were subjected to a barrage of advertisements, radio address es, personal appeals, cards, pamphlets, streamers, stickers, placards. In spite of the Importance of the election and in sjMte of the publicity it received in this county only 58.4 of the registered voters voted in the election. Of the 27,361 who were registered as eligible to vote only 15,980 participated. This means there were about 11,000 in the county who failed to1 vote. . Manjr doubtless had good excuses. Some were absent on journeys and failed to take absentee ballots. While the regis tration list carries name3 of many who are no longer eligible because of removal from the precinct there are hundreds of others who have just failed to register. j Why is it so small a percentage of voters actually cast their ballots? Are they indifferent or just neglectful? Or do they feel that one vote more or less counts for little and ''what's the use?" Germany in recent elections polled a far higher percentage. Probably for the state, as a whole the per centage at this election was higher than the average in ihe past decade. The primary election is a newer institution. The quadrennial election of a president is after all what gets peo ple out to vote. ' There is a lot of berating the people who stay at home from the polls as bad citizens. In truth they are indifferent to their responsibilities and privileges as citizens. But so far as changing the result is concerned it is only In case of a very low vote or a very close vote that the result is affected by the stay-at-homes. Usually the majority sentiment is re flected accurately by the people who do vote; and if there were a hundred per cent vote the result would be the same. People would fight, bleed and die for the right to vote. When they get it, thousands of them treat the privilege with contempt. The Louvain Inscription ONE by one the war hates fade. The supreme court at Brussels has ruled that the inscription on the new Lou vain library should be deleted. The inscription is, in Latin, "Destroyed by German fury; rebuilt by American generos ity". Fighting to retain the phrasing wiis Whitney Warren, the American architect who asserted he worked out the in scription with the late Cardinal Mercier. Monsignor Ladeuze, rector of the university, sought . moved on the ground that it perpetuated war hatreds and re flected unjustly on the Germans. Now thu final court upholds the monsignor, and the phrase Strange how attitudes change. During the war we were full of sympathy with stricken with Germany seems closer. It but rather that France has assumed the role of European bully, even though more polite, played. Time heals wounds.

The Kate Heath sailed north on her voyage in September. As she crossed the bar the crew observed the wreck of a vessel which had run upon the sands.

COPELAND, M. D. ONE of the saddest sights we see Is a child that is under nourished and underweight. While it seems unbelievable In this present day of scientific study, we cannot deny the fact that many children are definitely un derweight and show signs of malnutrition. Con fronted with these facts, it is natural to conclude that they can be traced to lack of money with which to pur- nVaoft f na w-r.Aai tocT TutU Dr.Copelan- not always true. Often it Is be cause the wrong kind of food is given, or because tne chud is per mitted to exercise his own choice of food, or to refuse the food he H should have. Children displaying such symp toms come from the nomas ox the very poor and the very rich. In the homes of the very poor, where there is a lack of sufficient and proper food, the children are the first to suffer. Many wealthy children show gigns of undernourishment, not be cause proper and adequate food cannot be obtained, but simply be cause they are permitted to pick and choose their food according to taste rather than their needs.- Undernourished children are un derweight. They are irritable and dre easily. ; Their posture is poor and digestion faulty. The skin is dry . and the hair is coarse and brittle.

' this was taken up the river a few miles and sheltered under a can vas covering made from the sails of the stranded ship. The place thus occupied was named Gardiner, in honor of the owner of the ship and goods and on the same spot now stands the city of Gardiner. a At the entrance of the river, on the north bank, Winchester, Payne ft Co. had laid out their first town, which they called Umpqua City. They passed up the stream, finding the shipwrecked Yankees in camp at Gardiner. m At the mouth of Smith river (named for Jedediah Smith), a number of men were landed, who began getting out piling timber to be shipped back to San Francisco on the return trip of the Kate Heath. 1e The others continued up the river to Scottsburg, where they found Captain Levi Scott already in possession of a town site. They laid out a town adjoining his lo cation and embracing a tract gen erously donated by him for that purpose. This was the portion of Scottsburg called the "lower town." which succumbed to the power of the flood in the winter of 1881-2, and is now a sandy waste. S A number of the party went up the stream to Elk creek, and laid contract all the ailments to which they are exposed. Lack of appetite and a dislike for certain foods are other causes of undernourishment in children. When important foods like mny and vegetables are omitted from the diet, undernourishment results, and to overcome this it is neces sary to create a desire for the essential foods. Many children dislike T"1V, which is indeed unfortunate, be cause milk is one of the most Im portant foods. It is essential for every child, but its use should not be forced. Never scold or punish a child who refuses milk, for a child who has been punished for not drinking milk acquires an in-' tense dislike for this food. Spinach is another food that1 many children dislike because of unpleasant associations. When first served it may have been improper ly cooked and unpalatable. Spinach is delicious only when properly prepared. Be sure it Is' thoroughly cleaned and cooked for fifteen to twenty minutes, then the addition of butter and a pinch of salt makes this nutritious dish inviting Adults should never discuss food in the presence of children, for they are easily influenced and imi tate their elders, and if a parent voices liis dislike . for a certain food, the child wiU undoubtedly develop a dislike for it Surreys hare shown that the healthiest child usually comes from a home whera.it Is recognised that ' rood food Is necessary for build ing strong bones and wrasole Please bear in mind that vital f substances are of value only wh-r properly digested, and that fo:: that Is forced causes indigestion, lack of appetite and undernourish ment.

But IVe got to live cheaply. You dont know how poor I am. The only clothes I have are the grand evening things Madame Nahhnan gave me, and X cant wear them on the street.'' Maxine grinned. "Oh, something will turn up!" Back home in Woodlake, if she had read about a girl coming to New York, and falling iato the sort of luck she had had, she wouldn't have believed it. You either had luck, or you didn't. Maxine, who practically lived by her wits, being, strangely enough, a technically good girl, took everything, and gave nothing but her personality. She and her small circle were the sort whom traveling salesmen from Columbus and all points west invariably meet and take to dinner, -a show, and roof cabaret after ward. The number of blind dates that Maxine acquired was some thing that never failed to astound Lily Lou, who steadfastly refused to accompany her. "Why not? Free meaL good show I make 'em get the best seats, and pick the showsl Dance a bit afterward if they can dance, eat some more, and then leave 'em. Not so bad for a plain looking girl ?

Even doing all her own laundry, and all the cleaning in' the apartment, and cutting her food down to almost nothing, she didn't see how she'd manage.

I cant take a week's pay for a day's work," she said dejectedly. "You must live. How much are you paying for the baby's board?" "Fifty." "And your rent?" "There's none.

"So there's just the food, and one doesn't want to eat much this hot weather.

There are two ferries on the Umpqua, and a road from Win chester to Scottsburg.

The city has been laid out in lots' and Is fast becoming a mart of trade. The main road to the canyon passes through Win chester.

How many tricks can Y-Z win against the best play ef A-B? If you lead a club at once, and finesse the declarer's Q, Y wUl have to lose to B's K, and later on he win have to lose another club trick to either B's J or A's 10, which wiU put the contract down by one trick. If Y first takes a round of trumps, to force discards, it will not help his cause. Then B can strip down to the "K-J of clubs and the 10 of hearts. The only way that Y can win three of the remaining four tricks is as follows: lead the 9 of clubs; if A. plays his 10, overplay with dummy's Q; in case A plays nor mally, and declines to cover with his 10, let the 9 run. In the latter event B must play his J to win the trick; if the 10 and Q are played B must win with his K. In either event B will be in the lead and his side cannot win another trick. If B ada back a club, both tricks will be won by Y's cards ef that suit If B leads his heart, dummy can trump while Y discards his only club that fails to be the highest remaining card of that suit Mr. Lockridge played the hand as described, and won his twelve tricks.
