Forgive and forgot wliy tho

The garden a wilderness left to

If the llowe-rs but remembered'

And the fields gave no verdure

The loafer wearing a collar a foot
lilgh, with star-spangled shirt and ox

loafer wltli dirty overalls and no

It is refreshing to read the reports
on civic and moral Improvement
mailo by the many local women's
clubs of the state, to the federation
nutting. Many of the prettiest homo
towns In Oregon owo their loveliness
nnil health to tho rjulot. persistent,
unwavering campaign of a fow ener
setic women.
The stockmen of the interior who
persist in shooting tho property of
Oioir neighbors, as a remedy for the
range situation, iorget tnal tins Is a
boomerang which Hies back upon tho
bead of tho one who throws it. There
Is a, way to settle questions of this
liind, in tho broad, open oaylight of
common Justice and decency.
Tho United States can hope to hold
tho wheat exporting supremacy of the
world but little longer.
Tnlto away tho crops of tnreo states
the Dakotas and Minnesota, 'now
and wo would not bo able to export
shipload. Tho remainder of tho wheat
belt of the notion Is absolutely neces
sary to supply tho needs of tho people
at home.
While the wheat crop of this coun
try is Increasing year by year, tho
population is also growing at nn as
tonlshtng rate. Tho non-wheat pro
ducing sections aro filling up rapidly
the cities and tho mining districts
are multiplying in population faster
than any other sections.
In tho entire region east of tho
Mississippi tho only stntes that pro
duce any considerable surplus o
wheat nliove tlieir own needs are
Ohio nnd Michigan, and their bal
ance goes only a very little way to
ward supplying tho requirements of
their neighbors.
The whole state of Massachusetts,
in the last census year had only 95
ncres of wheat, and tho six Now Eng
land stntes combined did not grow
enough to feed tho town of Pawtuckot
Tho nine states of New England,
New York-, Now Jersey and Pennsyl
vania, forming n connected region
four-fifths the size of tho German em
plro, and wltli over 21,000,000 inhabl
tants, have to buy over 80.000,000
bushels of wheat a year outside of
their own borders.
In other words, they Import more
wheat In proportion to the population
than Oreat Britain does, the only did
eronce being that they Import it
from other states, while Great Britain
buys her supplies abroad.
Our home consumption of wheat is
Increasing now at tho rate of about
0,000,000 bushels u year. If wo should
havo such a crop as tho one In 18!)3
we should have to import1 wheat to
avert a famine, and oven the cron of
1S9U would barely meet our needs.
The best thing William Allen White
has over said, is his little talk to
"gadding girls." He counsels them
to remember home; to love work;
to be something more than a butter

editorial in tho Emporia (iazette, but
it Is worth tho while of every- mother

The postofllce scandals wore un
earthed by a newspaper man Joseph
I. Bristow u man with a been scout
and plenty of nerve. The training
wlilcli a man receives In the modern
journalistic "sweat shop" fits him for
any arduous task in a civilized gov
ernment The president recognizes
the peculiar fitness in malting tho old
reporter the leader in tho lnvestiga
tlons.
Oregon exchanges are Justly scor
ing tho Associated Press for monop
olizing all means of communication
with Heppuer on tho day following
the disaster. Tho friends who wero
cruelly turned away-from telegraph
and telephone offices with the Inform
ation that tho octopus was in control,
will not soon forgot that treatment.
It is not a trust It is Just a "littlo
clnl) of men associated together to
collect news for their own private
use" that's all.
One of tho greatest Incentives for
now hopo and faitli in tho future of
tho town that has been felt by the
peoplo or Hoppncr In tholr calamity,
Is the hopeful, aggressive tone of the
Heppner newspapers, There has been
no liewnlllng, no complaining word
from either of them. They have
preached progress In tho very ruins
or their town. They have advised
rebuilding better than over, ovon be
fore the sound of the destroying
Hood had died away, This very doc
trine of good cheer has done n won
derful work in placing Heppner on
lior feet so soon. It has given hopo
and courage to many a citizen there
who would have otherwise boenw!l
11ns to surrender to dlscourogemont.,

Tho sensational reports In Port-

dleton people becamo hysterical over
nn alleged prophecy of a squaw, to
the effect that a waterspout would

unfounded. The residents of Pendle

troops wore In rotrent. Those
at ii distance were still resisting, but

sary for me to press forward In order
to Insure tho same results, wiucn in

In less than one-halt hour my troops
would havo swept up over those inns

momentous consequonco. It Is not
Biirnrlslmr. with a full realization of
the consonuences of a halt, that
should havo refused at first to obey
tho order. Not until tho third or
fourth order of the most peremptory
character reached me, did I obey,
"I think I should havo rl3ked the
conseouences of disobedience even
then, hut for the fact that the order
to halt was accompanied with the
exnlanatlou that General Iee, who
wns several miles away, did not wish
to glvo battle at Gettysburg. It is
stated on good authority that General
I.eo said, some time before his death,
that If Jackson had been tnere, ho
would have won in this battle a great
and nosslbly decisive victory. I can
not vouch for tho truth of this state
ment as I did not hear it. but no sol
dler In a great crisis ever wished
more ardently for a deliverer's hand
than I wished for ono hour of Jack
son, when I was oruereu to nait.

TOWN TALK.
Ono of the most elegant social af
fairs of the present lively season in
East Peru was the gathering at the
home of Mrs, Dentist Ralph Bowden
last Thursday evening. The guests
enjoyed checkers and parcheesl till a
lato hour and plentiful quantities of
fudge and oyster stew wero daintily
served by Mesdames Husklns nnd Nut
ter. Social circles are very gay In
East Peru this winter and spring. On
the tapid now is the social dance to
be given at Horton's hall by the ladles
of the Shakespeare club. Oyster stew
served at Intermission. Gents BO'

A GREAT STATESMAN.
It must have been some 400 miles
by the old road and canals from Slp
parn to Susa; but It was easier trav
eling In that region -1000 years ago
than It Is now, for Hammurabi was a
strenuous ruler. It had taen him 30
years to throw off the yoke of the
Elamltes, with their capital at Susa,
and the remaining dozen years of his:
reign he devoted to consolidating
his empire, which now for the first
tlino in history united under one ruin'
tho whole of Babylon and added to It
the snzoranlty of Elam, or southern
Persia, with Assyria to the north and
even Syria and Palestine as far as;
the Mediterranean Sea. Being a grent
statesman as well as conquerer, he
built roads, dug canals, and was the
flrst to collect and formulate Into,
rodo tho decisions which the civil
courts had rendered nnd which had
grown out of Judges' law.
This full code, the most elaborate
monument of early civilization yet
discovered, ho engraved' on grunt
stono stelae, and set up in the prin
cipal cities in his realm, where they
could bo read by ull his subjects.
There wero about 280 soparato decis
ions, or edlctu, r-ovorlng the lights-of
property. Inheritance, marriage, di
vorce, Injuries to life or person,
tents, wages, slavery, etc. On the
stelae, following the text of tho luws,
Hammurabi told" his people why ho
had set up and published, this node.
It was that Justice might be e.tnbllsh
ed, and that any one who n.ut a com
plaint ugainst his neighbor might
come and read tho law and learn
what wero his rights. Dr. William
Hayes Ward In July Century.

"No battle of any war more forci

eral Early nor General Ewcll could
possibly havo been fully cognizant of

Foul Play Wo aro Informed by our

'enn Webster, that there Is no doubt
that old Mr. Ayer who was found dead
In his house last week near the Newry
town line was killed by robbers. We
ntended to look tho matter up this
week for the Pod-Auger but the rush
f job work and tho advertising has
prevented. Everything comes all nt

Webster Informs us that the robbers
must huvo burnt the old mnn's feet
pretty near off before ho told thorn

tainly a most disgraceful proceeding
and we 'trust that our offlcors will

Up Ui her chamber window
A slight wire trellis goes,
And up this Romeo's laddor
Clambers a hold white rose.
I lounge In tho Ilex shadows,
I see tho lady lean,
Unclasping her silken girdle,
The curtain's fold between.
She smiles on her whlte-roso lover,
She reaches out her hand
And helps him In nt tho window
I se It where I standi
To her scarlet lip she holds him,
And lefsses him many a time
Ah, me! It was ho that won hor

"This summer while traveling I
contracted a most persistent and an
noylng cold. My head ached, my eyes
' and nose seemed constantly running,
my lungs were sore and I lost my ap
petite, health and good spirits. Doe-
tors prescribed tor me all manner oi
pills and powdersr but all to no
purpose.
' I advised with a druggist and he
spoke so highly of a medicine called
Pcruna, that he Induced me to try my
first bottle of patent medicine. How
ever, It proved such a help to me that
I soon purchased another bottle and
I kept on until I was entirely well."-..
