Many residents of Salem have
received at one time or another
advertising natter from genealog
ical concerns,
offering for a
stipulated fee
to trace any
person 'a pedi
gree to any de
sired point I
know of a num
ber of people
.who bare re
sponded to the
allurement ot
this advertis
ing matter, and
I eaa readily
understand why
it attracts u. -
them. Oae Is naturally and justi
fiably interested In the sources of
his own blood. There may be,
here and there, folks who are mo
tinted by snobbishness, if It may
be called snobbishness to aspire to
kinship, with, say, Richard Coeur
de Lion or Charlemagne or Wil
liam the Conqueror, bat I think
that for the most part the mo
tire is a simple, sincere and quite
legitimate desire to account for
the impulses within our own be
ings. Personally. I hare never
felt much concern aa to what and
who my ancestors may baTe been
before the family line was estab
lished in America two or three
hundreds of years ago, nor has
the banker to know of my Amer
ican forebears been sufficiently
strong to Impel me to gather
enough material regarding them
to create in my mind more than
the sketchiest of histories.
My compliments to Ethel Mer
man, leading lady with the Can
tor show. Strike Me Pink, which
opened at the Elslnore theatre
Saturday of last week. Not that
Ethel win care a whoop whether
I extend compliments to her or
not. but it strikes me that, in
view ot the number of singing la
dies I hare beard in the pictures
since the talkies came into being
it Is worthy of mention that she
is oaly the second one whose ev
ery word comes over dearly and
utterly without strain on the
nerves of the listener. The other?
Never mind that.
Strike Me Pink, the advertise
ments tell us, is based on Bud
Clelaad'a Saturday Evening Post
story. Dreamland, but if the basic
similarity between the picture and
the story were put on paper there
would not be enough of it to wad
a shot-gun. The advertisements
do not ten this. Ton find it oat
for yourself. However, It is
typical Cantor show. Eddie Is ex
cellent company, the girls are up
to the usual standard of pulchri
tude which we have come to ex
pect la a Cantor extravaganza,
sad aa a whole only a grouch
could find much fault with it.
I like good clowning quite
heartily as I dislike poor down
ing, and Eddie Cantor Is near my
ideal of the perfect clown. Which
make everything ducky for me,
whatever the rest of yon may
think about him.
During the week a letter has
come to me, by way of The
Statesman, from Eugene Tai
madge, governor of Georgia, who,
I am strongly indiaed to believe,
Is one of Nature's true noblemen,
regardless ot what President
Roosevelt and Jim Farley may
think ot him. In this letter the
governor tells of .a great-greatgrandfather
of his, who ISO years
ago, walked from New Jersey to
Georgia and took op the farm
land near Atlanta which has been
the family home since. Tbe Geor
gia Talmadges hare always been
farmers, the sort ot farmers who
have never found it necessary to
mortgage their farm, and it is
fair to assume that they are pa
triots and have ever taken an ac
tive part la the affairs ot their
- home state. I am aware that my
folks west west from Connecti
cut to New Jersey and from New
Jersey to Pennsylvania and from
Pennsylvania to Illinois and from
Illinois to Iowa and from Iowa
to Nebraska, at which point the
old order underwent a change
and the line did a sort ot Jig
saw all over the map. The gov
ernor suggests the probability
that my ancestors came over
from England, a family party.
In the good ship, "Plow." Which,
being the case or not, has its
.interesting points.
The matter of ancestry has its
entertaining arithmetical quail
ties. We may easily calculate in
a few minutes a vast number of
- ancestors for ourselves. Ton. for
example, had two parents: each
of them had two. giving you four
grandparents; each of them had
two. giving you eight great-grand
parents; each of them had two.

the fact of it as if we'd hare no
trouble in finding good deeds to
do. But you'd be surprised at
how scarce they are. Me, I went
pretty near a week and never
found one. Had my eye peeled all
the time, too. However, I reckon
you can give a feller credit for
wanting to do a good deed, even
if he is unable to find one to do.
Sooner or later, though, one pops
up. This morning I was walking
down .Court street, when biff!
right la front of me a robin at
tempted te fly through a plate
glass window. He was probably
traveling at the rate of CO or 70
miles an hour, and the result was
that he was completely knocked
out. When I picked him up from
the sidewalk he had every appear
ance of being dead, but I carried
him home and placed him on tbe
steam radiator, where he'd be nice
and warm, and poured cold water
on his beak. Pretty soon, all of
a sudden, be chirped (was asking
where he was and what had hap
pened, I s'pose.) I chirped back
at him as well as I knew how, and
picked him up, and what do you
s'pose he did?. Yeah, pecked and
scratched and got tough general
ly. And now,, while I ant writ
lag this, he Is sitting on the rung

One of the arguments against
the plan is that the old people
will not spend the 1200 wisely.
Granting that part of it will not
be spent wisely. May I ask this
question? Do those who put forth
this argument spend wisely the
money which they now receive?
No doubt the answer would have
to be that they spend lots ot mon
ey unwisely. If all the money to
day were spent wisely there would
bo far less misery and unhappl-

for the reader's Inspection. Mr.
Wlnther has an unusual ability at
character delineation.
For "Take all to Nebraska" Is
purely a character novel. There is
no plot. It is simply the recording
of the trkgedy, the. drama, the
comedy of everyday life on a farm.
But the author's ability to put the
Joy and the heartache into words
is completely fascinating and one
lives the story almost more than
one reads it. From beginning to
end spontaneity rules it.
Now and then, one may pause
a moment to wish the author had
omitted a sentence or a paragraph
which seemed unnecessarily crude
or stark. Tha story need not have
lacked in strength for these omis
sions. Bat such sentences and
paragraphs were unimportant and
were quickly forgotten in the real
character of the book.
It is evident, even with the In
formation given by the publisher,
that Sophus Winther had lived on
a farm in Eastern Nebraska. It
even seems quite possible that he
lived on Peter Grimsen s farm;
Only memories could furnish ma

Rose Becomes Edging
From Dallas comes a letter ask
ing for a description of the York
and Lancaster rose which is so
often mentioned by those seeking
early roses. This is a Damask,
stripped red and white, but oc
casionally all red. It was first
known in 15 Si and named for the
War of the Rosesvthe Yorkists
wore white roses, the Lancastri
ans red, and this rose symbolized
the union of the two factions.
"Dallas" also wants to know if
tbe little miniature rose is hardy.
I can vouch for that, I believe.
Mine has lived through the past
winter and other winters yet cold
er. It grows about six Inches tall
in bushy form and blooms from
early summer nntil frost. The lit
tle blooms are very double and
less than aa inch in diameter. 1
have seen this rose used effec
tively as aa edging In front of rose
buds and also in rock gardens.
It Is often known as Rosa Roul
tttl. Some of the Oregon nurs
erymen call it Baby Pink Rose.
A Stayton woman wishes to
know if native dogwood is easily
replanted. From my own experi
ence I should say that it decidedly
is not. Cnless one finds a very
small tree, grown rather by itself.
I think It best to purchase a dog
wood from a grower. These have
been grown to transplant and
seem to do so much better than
those one takes from the woods,
and it is too bad to take out na
tive trees and have them die.

DESCHUTES MAN

but the aborigine 'of old and his

sleepless nights on a quake-rocked
