Lean on no mortal, love and ervc: (For service Is Love's comple- ment) But it was never God's Intent Your spirit from its path should swerve to Gain another's point of view. As well might Jupiter or Mars Go seeking help from other stars, , Instead of sweeping on, as you. Look to the Great Eternal Cause And not to any man, for light.

Art is not confined to painting pic tures, composing operas, designing mansions and palaces. Art is not all -white shirt" work. Art Is not a winged thing, soaring in upper realms of thought and Ideals. But art creeps close to the ground. It finds Its expression in the homll est things. It gives out its best ef forts in working miracles in common callings. It clothes Itself in peach blossoms, the verdure of alfalfa, the rich deep green of th.- growing wheat, the abounding foliage of archarda and vineyards. Down in Jaekon county near Med ford a pear orchard of 1 CO acres has just been sold for $160,000. The man whq planted, cultivated, devel oped and sold this orchard was no kss an artist than li'isa Bonheur, Mi'.l't, Deethoven or Paderewskl. Taking a small tract of land, not one-fourth enough to satisfy a lma. tllla county wheat farmer, this artist clothed it in beauty and productive ness to such art extent that ha In creased its value a thousand fold. He made It the envy of the world. He called the attention of the world to this tract, by selling the highest priced carload of pears ever sold In the markets of the world, workshops or printing offices. It is workships or printing offices. It Is found hovering near the "man with the hoe" in the irrigating ditch, clinging fondly about the artisan working out his ideals In the orchard, meadow or vim-yard. Art is the spirit of work which converts a use less thing Into a thing of beauty and use. Any man who works zealously to improve the little spot of earth he. cwns, is an artist. And the greater z-al and skill he puts Into his work, the greatrr artist is he. The creator of this Medford pear orchard not only found his highest pleasure in his homely art, but he found immense profit in it also. The right kind or art pays, while it pleases the artist. A NEW ERA IS UPON' U.S. No matter whether Taft or Bryan is elected president of the United States, a new political era Is upon us. The Roosevelt administration has brought about an awakening of the public conscience, a higher view or the duties of citizenship, a clearer understanding of the responsibilities of the public official and hereafter there will be no reign of fraud and high handed corruption as In the past, no matter what party U in of fice. Fearless and clean handed, Theo dore Roosevelt set about to rid the departments of fraud and secret grafting and he had succeeded ad mirably. He has not stopped to ask the political belief, lineage or history of grafters, but has Investigated them fearlessly and if found guilty has ousted them from the public service without ceremony. Never again will a political party dare to permit wholesale frauds In government departments as in the past. The Roosevelt administration will go down In history as tho turn lug point In American political mor als. Roosevelt will be remembered as the American Hercules who dared to cleanso the Augean stables of po. Iltlenl corruption. Whether republican or democrat sits In the presidential chair here, after, the American public will be assured of honesty and cleanliness In office. The civil service rules and practices are also giving us bettoe men In all the government depart ments. Efficiency and not party fealty will be the tests for public service here after. It Is a new era in thought, action and conscience and we are to thank Theodore Roosevelt for Insti tuting It. So, 'Cast In some diviner mould, Let the new cycle shame the old." OREGON'S 11IG CROP. Although not a good soaking rain has visited the Inland empire wheat belt this year, the grand total of the wheat crop for the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Is far above the average for the past 10 years and the amount of money- received for this year's crop will be but $5,000,. 000 short of the income from last year's bumper crop. According to E. W. Wright, the statistician of the Portland Oregon Ian, the total crop for this year In the three northwest states will be 44, 050,000 bushels while the average for the past 10 years has been but 42, 468,000 bushels and last year's bump, e: crop only amounted to 58,000,000 bushels. Of this total crop of 41,050,000 bushels for 190S, Oregon la credited with 11.S50.000, Umatilla county leading all othc- counties with a yield of 3,T50,o0u. Washington claims 27.950,000 with Whitman county in the lead with 6,750,00 bush els and Idaho claims 4,250,000 bush els. Mr. Wright hns visited every coun ty and has personally Inspected crop9 and has personally consulted with farmers and wheatbuyers and ship pers and his figures are as near cor rect, perhaps as it is possible to se cure. He is a painstaking and In dustrious statistician and for a num ber of years has estimated the crops of the northwest honestly and effic iently. One of the features of his report Is that Umatilla county produces more wheat than the entire Willamette val ley district. While this county Is credited with 3.750,000 bushels this year, the entire Willamette valley dis trict raised but 2,750,000 bushels, or a million bushels less than this ban ner county of the state. Till'. AMERICAN" SHAME. In John Barrett's commercial re view of the Republic of Panama In his reports of the Bureau of Ameri can Republics, It Is shown that dur. Ing the past year 104 vessels hava touched at Colon, Panama. Eighty per cent of these were Norwegian and the remainder English vessels. Not an American vessel touched at that port. The fact Is there are o few Amer ican merchantmen that none of the seaports of the world show any num ber of them on their registers. The carrying trade of American vessels Is shamefully small and from the ac tions of such mi-n as James J. Hill, and E. H. Harriman, who declare they will sell their present lines rather than obey the laws of the United States, this trade will dwin dle to a smaller and smaller amount each year. If American shipping must be sub sidized and paid a bonus by the people, then It seems that the only way Is for American shipping to be carried In foreign vessels. European vessels can carry merchandize at a profit. Why cannot the vessels of American companies? Wheat land that was worth but $60 to $70 per acre between Freewatei and Walla Walla before the electrlo line was completed, Is now worth from $250 to $500 per acre as resi dence and orchard tracts. Would not the same Increase In values come to the land between Pendleton and Weston and between Weston and Free water with an electrlo line? Think what this would mean to the property values of the county aside from the matchless conveniences ot such a line. ALMOST A CEN'TCKY OLD. Miss Ell. Nash, who died at Norwell, Mass., a few days ago, was a "real" Laughter of the Revolution, and In two months more would have been a century old. She had lived under every presidency excepting those of Washington and John Ad ams, having been born September 2, 1808. She was active in good works, and to the last kept herself Inform, ed as to the events Qf the day, on all of which she had her decided opinions. THE EXILE. I've laid aside Earth's broken toys Ambitions, hopes and fears; The things I could nnd did not do, And disappointment's tears. I find my Joy In simple things God left outdoors for me; The mountains filled with secrets old; The prairie, like the sea; The music of the mountain stream; The quiet of the hills; The winds that blow across the world; The touch of Christ that thrills. And here, high up, close to the stars, The world seems far away; I do not dream ot It by night, Nor think of It by day. I do not know If this bo Age, Or whether life is spent; But, by a mighty peace within, I know I've found Content. Louise Paley In Unity. WHAT IS TO COME? What is to come we know not; but we know- That what has been was gdod was good to show, Better to hide, and best of all to hear. We are the masters of the days that were. We have lived, we have loved, wa have suffered even so. Shall we not take the ebb who had the flow? Life was our friend. Now, If It be our foe. Dear though it spoil and break us need we care What Is to come? Let the great winds their worst and wildest blow. Or the cold weather round us mellow slow: We have fulfilled ourselves, and wo can dare, And we can conquer, though we may not share In the rich quiet of tho afterglow That Is to come. William E. Hendley. A DRIFT. Just somebody's secret that somebody gave To somebody else on the way; And somebody else, though shft thought it so grave, Told somebody else. And today That poor little secret, by silence once bound, Is adrift on a turbulent sea, And the high wind of scandal nas tossed It around Till a secret it's long ceased to le. Suppose you were the one who first passed it along, It matters not why nor how, But an innocent name had suffered the wrong, Would you be the happier now? Mattie J. Crowley. CONTENTMENT.

Sha tcalds It thorn. u;lily aftr;r using, and give It a son bath 'o sweeten It. Sho knows that if her en :rn Is sour It will taint the butter that l: :-.ud In it. The stomach is a churn. In lie stomach and dlgestivo and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of Gutter. Is It not apparent thon that if this Homach-chnrn Is foul it makes foul nil whic h is put Into It? The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad taste In tin) mouth and tho foul breath caused by it, hut the corruption of the pure current of blood nnd tho dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for tho stomp. ch what tho washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every Uinting or corrupting ele ment. In this way It cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, lores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blond. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In your mouth, coated tongue, fouf breath, are weak and easily tired, (eel depressed and despondent, have frequent headacli'-s, dlz.y attacks, gnawing or distress In stom ach, constipated or Irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of them. Indicate that you are suffering from biliousness, torpid or luzy liver with the usual accompanying Indi gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements. The best agents known to medical sci ence for the euro of the above symptoms and conditions, as attested by the writings of leading teachers and practitioners of all the several schools of medical practice, have been skillfully and harmoniously combined In I r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. That this Is absolutely true will be readily proven to your satisfaction If you will but mall a postal card request to Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for a free copy of his booklet of extracts from the standard medical authorities, giving the names of all the Ingredients entering Into his world-famed medicines and show ing what the most eminent medical men of tho age it at them.
