THURSDAY, JUNE 12. 1919. AGAIXST FIRE CRACKERS. When the proposal was made at the Commercial club luncheon that Bend celebrate the Fourth ot July this year In good, old fashioned Btyle, someone suggested that one ot the old fashioned features be "fire crackers and everything." The sug gestion was not discussed and we do not know it it meets with the favor of the later appointed committee, but if there is any plan under con sideration for the removal ot the city ban on the use ot Are crackers In the coming celebration we ven ture to protest, and to urge that public sentiment make itself known in opposition to the plan. The fire cracker, as a means of celebrating the Fourth of July, Is a relic of the past. City after city, all over the country has forbidden its use, and for Bend to return to this Chinese devil driving plan would be a great pity. Statistics gathered for many years show that the use of fire crackers on the Fourth has been responsible for hundreds ot fires and for scores of serious accidents, especially to children. Many a child has lost an eye or a finger or a hand when han dling explosive crackers on the . Fourth. Many a parent has seen the day come with fear, has lived through It with agony and has seen It pass with rejoicing when his child has come through unscathed. There are plenty of good, whole some ways of celebrating the Fourth of July without putting life or prop erty in jeopardy. Old fashioned ways may be good In some) respects, but when It comes to the use of fire crackers on that day the new fash ioned prohibition is the best. "Sergeant Alvin C. York, 'the greatest hero ot the war,' who killed 20 Germans, captured 36 machine gun nests and captured 236 officers and men all in one day, has- taken unto himself a bride.

George had not been overkind to his wife when he left for enmp. Ami the prospects for Ills wife when he returned were not any brighter when the got this note from him: Them white folks here put some sirup In my arms from the blood of a mad bull and a game chicken that will make a nigger fight a cannon and I Is already feeling like fighting. When I comes home wid that fighting blood In me, and I finds out you ain't been doing right, watch out for George; and I knows how big you are." The wife took the note to the Judge of the county In which she lived. "Well, Eliza," said the Judge to the colored wife, after he read the let ter, "What can I do for you about thisr "Judge," replied Eliza. "I's wan' a divorce er sum of dnt sirup." uia Learn Something.

PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO Harpsichord, In Arrangement of Key board and Strings, Resembled tho Instrument In Use Today. The harpsichord was n stringed mu sical Instrument In use In iho luili. 17th n ml 18lli centuries, which In lis form nnd In tho nrrangtimiit t the keyboard and strings resembled a pi ano, but In which the tone wua pro duced by the plucking or snapping of the strings by lenther or quill points, which were set in Jacks connected by levers with the keys. In form It usu ally resembled a modern grand piano forte, though both square timl upright varieties were also made. The length of tho keyboard was tour to six and a hulf octaves. The number of sep arate strings to a key varied from one to four, sometimes including one tuiuHl an octave above, the others; the latter variety was called a double harpsichord. The tone was weuk and tinkling, and jtrndatlon of force was impossible. Two keyboards were sometimes combined, one for soft effects; the other for loud. Numerous devices, usuully connected with the jacks, were introduced at "different times to secure variety In force, and especially In qunllty. These mechan isms, which often aimed to simulate the tone qualities of various orches tral instruments, were usually con trolled by stopknobs near the key board. The harpsichord, though s sentlally different from the pianoforte, was Its Immediate predecessor. Be fore 1S00 it was regularly used In all dramatic music, especially In accom panying recitatives and In orchestral music. The conductor usually direct ed from his sent at n harpsichord placed amid the other Instruments. WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE Congregation of Armenian Christians Has Diffused Knowledge of Coun try's Language and Literature. The Mecbltarlst monks are a small congregation of Armenian Christlaus who were exiled from their native land at the beginning of the eighteenth cen tury. The church In Armenia had long been divided Into bitterly hostile camps over the question of the nature of Christ, and when the Mechltarlsts en tered Into communion with the Church of Rome In 1712 the Armenian patri arch succeeded In driving them' from the country. . They took up their resi dence In the Morea, but they had again to flee before the advance of the con quering Turk, and In 1715 they estab lished themselves In Venice, on the Island of San Lazznro. Here they set up a printing press and gathered to gether a large and valuable library of oriental works. Their name Is de rived from Mechtnr da Itro, who founded a religious society nt Constan tinople about the year 1700, and who aimed at uplifting the Intellectual and spiritual conditions of his countrymen, nnd nt diffusing a knowledge of the old Armenian language and literature. The colony of exiles during their so journ in Venice has printed most of the classic writings In Armenian lit erature anil translated the works of Eusehius, I'hilo nnd other writers. Geography Sixty Years Old. The rapid development of geography as a college study, since Its first ap pearance in a university curriculum, about half a century ago. Is discussed by I'rof. R. II. Wulibeck of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, in a recent ar ticle on "Geography In American uml European Universities," published In the Journnl of Geography, lie points out the following Interesting fuels: In W0 Harvard and Princeton were the only American universities offering courses In geography. . Cornell and University of Wiscon sin introduced the subject In 1S!8, and Yale followed in 1872. In 1SW0 only 12 American universities taught the subject, but by 1010 thirty-one universities were offering a variety of 142 courses. With 704 students enrolled In geog raphy, the University of Wisconsin Pile Up Your Forafeainy pfjhM ONE of the queerest thing-.i about some people is that they will not follow GOOD ADVICE when, they KNOW they OUGHT TO. Forhapi we arc all more or less that way. All the wise men of all ages have urged, their fellow beings to PUT AWAY SOMETHING for a RAINY DAY. Good old Benjamin Franklin's sayings on eoonomy and saving alone ought to make a bank book holder of EVERY ONE. If you have DELAYED, suppose you act HONESTLY with YOUR SELF RIGHT NOW. Central Oregon Bank led all others In 1U10. With l.Otil) en rolled In ItHT, It led all others except the University of l'enusylvunln.

The song leader, n lieutenant, asked It there was any particular song tho men wished to sing. Tho company funny boy, thinking to produce a laugh, yells out : "Let's sing Molly, get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head." "Very well," said tho lieutenant J "suppose you come up nnd slug It a few times, so that wo may It-urn It." And, amid Jeers of his companions, he wns forced to get up before the company and slug that single Una over nnd over again, making up the tune as he went. . Discard London Town Houses. For hundreds of years members of England's wealthy class have main tained their splendid town houses In London. But today, with the perfect ing of the automobile and the In creased convenience ot apartment and hotel, there Is a growing tendency to break with tradition and maintain only tho country home. This fashionable Imck-to-the-laiul movement Is expected to have royal sanction, too, ns the king and queen will use beautiful old Wind sor castle, 25 miles from London, this Benson, much more than Buckingham pnlnee.

"The law of nature Is that a certain quantity of- work Is necessary to pro duce a certain quantity of gnod. of any kind whatever. If you want knowl edge, you must toll for It ; ami If pleas ure, you must toll for It." These wortls of John Kuskln are especially appro priate now, Arthur Hunt Chute writes In Leslie's. This admonition Is needed not mere ly by the manual laborers, but also by all classes, nnd especially by the "poodle fakers" of so-called high so ciety. An afternoon trip to the most expensive hotels discloses the fact that the war has not completely purged us from the Idle rich. One may encoun ter there a new species, formerly known as a "lounge lizard," now called a "sofa cootie." A soldier pointed me out one f)f these specimens, exclaim ing: "Think of our brave who have fallen, and a thing like that survives!" We won this wur why? Because we heeded the law of sweat. In the cruclul hour our society spewed out of Its mouth the Idle rich and the Idle xmr. We tolerated only one clnss, the workers. Vincent Astor nnd Klngdon Gould had to stop tip and do their duty just the same ns the Frlcnslnnl twins from "Little Italy." Now that the wnr Is won, this law of sweat should re main Imperative for all classes. Ev ery man anil every woman owes a duty f work to his age, ami society of the future should he so organized ns to In; sist that that debt Is paid. Referring to the law of sweat, we must realize that there'nre two ways In which a man may fulfill his obli gations, either by brain sweat or by brawn sweat. Itlgbtly speaking, the mental workers belong Just ns truly among the laboring classes as the man ual workers. In the truest sense both are producers. Margaret, aged live, had been very rude to a little guest, nnd after the chilli hnd gone borne Margaret's moth er told her ycry feelingly how grieved she was at her rudeness. "I've tried so hard to make you a good child, Margaret ; to tench you to be polite and kind to others, am! yet. In spite of my efforts, you are so rude -I ami so naughty." Murgnret, deeply moved, looked sad ly at her mother and said: "What a failure you are, mother I" Momv q q TONIGHT AND FRIDAY I q As a Japanese Army Intelligence Officer on the Trail of Bolsheviki Plotters Sessue H ay aka wa " " Bonds of Honor" The story of two Japnnese, in love with the same girl, who pursued widely dif ferent paths one honorable and the other unfaithful to his family and country.
