" Approve the . stripe or not, a we '. please," : Not far do we look before we find ... - They help the man, with a second to spare, Who need an hour to make up his mind. . I am forced to the conclusion, by sundry observations, that indi viduals who possess the quality known as "presence of mind" are not noticeably numerous in time of emergency. I have never forgot ten the Iowa man, whose oft-repeated ' motto ' waa '."keep your shirt on.? The roof of hi dwell ing took fire from .a burning flue, and he rapidly climbed to the roof carrying one end of the cow rope and calling to his wife to attach the other end to the hydrant. And there was Pluto Glmm, who own ed one of the first automobiles ever brought -to that region. Pin to was unable to recall how to top the car one day, and ran ker slap into a truek that was heavily laden with bricks. Asked a few: days later what his emotions were when he realized that a bump was inevitable, he pulled one of his bandage aside from his mouth and stated that he had only enough time to wish he hadn't come, and when he got around to thinking of something else he'd thought of In that trying moment the . doc' was setting his leg and he couldn't think what else it was he'd thought of. 1 Pluto was . a lawyer, and was afterwards a candidate for district attorney. The Crane Creek News, which wa edited and published by a relative of his, stated In one of its ringing editorials support ing his candidacy that Pluto was possessed of a legal mind of the highest type. Mebby he was. I dunno. Anyway, he wasn't elected. Mattie Allen of Salem does not fully coincide with the sentiment expressed in a poem recently printed in The Statesman. The poem was titled "The Radish," and perhaps because this Is the ra dish season, has attracted a sur prising number of comments, most of which indicate a belief that the radish referred to in the poem was a much misguided ra dish, because it departed from it native environment ;- and went forth for a career to which it was not fitted by nature. Mr. Allen' opinion In the matter 1 herewith given: . - Why not praise the little radish? . It was brave,' Indeed, To struggle 'gainst adversity. Handicapped by such a seed. - But, altho' some do not like them, They have a place, I ween,' - In the scheme of Mother Nature, Watching, ever keen, - Over the useful garter-snake That clears the yard of snails. And teaches it to dodge the hoes Swung by thoughtless males. For frequently pampered plants Are weak and sickly so, While plant that rustle for them- - selves Like men will stalwart grow. ' Well. It Is TirettT difficult at times to tell Just . what a radish is thinking about. This Is the season of the year when middle west newspapers are spotted with little letter about roaes and fruit blossoms from southern California. And middle west readers sigh and tell them selves, "well, next year, perhaps." Exceptional is a letter from Ore gon. Yet . there are few of the envy-producing statement about California that are not true of western Oregon, and folks who have gone down there to find a heaven on earth have returned to a t a t that California ha few things of which to brag about that Oregon hasn't, and a heap more feature of an undesirable sort than Oregon f possesses. "Say, beamed the dweller at Long Beach to an Oregon acquaintance (it Is suspected that the Long Beach gentleman had in view a swap of California property), "you should have been here during the earthquake. You'd have loved it!" I drop In now and then at a Zollle's Gang matinee. To hear the gang plejallejunce to the flag with all the power of their lusty young lungs Is a delightful experience. I remember affectionately a little girl . of long ago who, following ner nret experience at sunaay school, tripped about the , house blithely singing, "Bringing in the Cheese." Replying to a query: The fly which has at interval been men tioned In this column during the past several season, or one of his progeny, bearing a close family resemblance. Is still here. But he ia a very dejected fly. He aits staring sadly from the window with all his eye and uttering a grating little noise, which nor mally, I suppose, would be a buzz. The noise, I am pained to say. suggests profanity. I judge from the listless manner in which he rubs his hind legs together that the springtime thus far has not turned out at all as he had plan ned it. It frequently happens so with flies and humans.

It may seem a hit silly to com pare human beings to files. Still; I 'dunno as 'tis. There is some thing : in common . between all forms of earthly animate life., And occasionally there 1 fellowship between man and the inanimate. No point of similarity exist, for Instance, between man and a pool of water, yet man looks Into the pool and see himself. 1 , It 1 somewhat difficult to re? view a stage performance that one' has not seen. Yet It Is not Im possible. Hank-Namby reviewed "Fanchon. the Cricket" for the Hummelsville Eagle the first, time the play was presented, at the Hummelsville opry house, and the manager : of the repertoire com pany (week stands ten, twent', thlrt') and the editor of the Eagle both said it was a slick piece of writing. I was with Hank at. the opry house that night, and he slept sound as cheese through the entire five acts. So, yon see? Cir cumstances prevented me from seeing the weekend bill of vaude bllle at the State theatre, so I was compelled to do the best I could . with audience reaction. Quite a number of the folks who were in one audience' Or another during the weekend atj the State started in to describe one or more of the individual act on the bill. But I begged them to jdesist and tell me was the applause distinctly noticeable and wa the theatre filled with folks, and they said It was. So I reckon vaudeville Is still alive in Salem and is grad ually gaining strength.' And that isn't a bad review In itself. The second showing of the Will Rogers "David Ilarum' film (or was it the third?) drew a houseful of customers to - the Grand theatre Saturday night; This was the late. Otto Schmidt's favorite of all the Rogers films. Person ally, f am undecided as between "David Harum" and "State Fair." The kindly spirit and the natural humor of Will Roger on through the film and it' somewhat when one think of It will carry for . year, wonderful isn't ltT . The Al G. Barnes-jSells-Floto circus Is dated for Salem May 22. Everybody know .thltf, and the statement . 1 superfluous, but there Is something In such a state ment that is helpful to ordinary conversation. Like the twain who made talk on a wet day in the play. Said one, holding a hand under the drip of his umbrella, "If raining." Said fth other, catching a handful of drip on hi side, So tw." And they smiled a cordially as if they had aald something worth saying. Salvation Army's Fund h Swelling Workers on the Salvation Army drive reported yesterday sub scriptions of over $3000, with only about ten per cent of the teams reporting. The advance gift group by Tom Wlndishar, chairman, resorted 28 pledges for $2426; and the bin sines group under Floyd .! Miller and George L. Arbuckle $3 pledges for $612.50.

Flnley, famous - natural ist, . who talked on the - salmon . resources of the Columbia. Describing the rash for private development of land for agricul tural purposes, Flnley told how lower Klamath lake, once home . of wild ; fowl, had been drained ; and was now a vast alkaline des- . ert. Through the tier of north-;, era states., lakes and swamps had been . drained, so the water table , of the : surrounding country , had - been lowered and now the gov- ernment ts spending large sums -to tight the encroaching deserts. Fish Life Menaced "While. rivers are for tbe use of man.", said Flnley, "it U al- i ways a question when one use destroys the river for other pur poses. The Columbia river is the greatest salmon stream in the world,- producing $10,000,000 worth of salmon annually, but it is threatened by the dams which are : building and planned. No provision at all is being made at Coulee dam, and that will cut off all the upper, river as spawning grounds. You cannot maintain the fish supply entirely by arti ficial propagation. "Other ways stream life Is de stroyed are by failing to screen the irrigation ditches so young fishflow-uton the lands and die, and by making streams means for carrying sewage which destroy the insect life on which fish feed." Flnley quoted figures and re ports showing that river naviga tion is costly to the taxpayers so the government could better af ford to subsidize existing carrier than improve streams. He plead ed for conservation policies for the best use ejEfnatural resources and for preservation of the Wil lamette as the last big spawning ground of the Columbia river salmon; , Martin to Ignore Sweetland Query Rlail Controversy Is 7hat Federation Ulan Seeks, ' Governor Asserts Governor Charles II.
