FEBRUARY 24. 1921 OVERTURF Honest confession is good for the soul and we congratulate the Crook County Journal on its frank con fession of error in respect to Rep resentative Overturf. After oppos ing him last fall the Journal now says that he has shown himself to be "the most reliable and perhaps the most able legislative timber Central Oregon possesses." Possi bly some day the Journal will get around to a change ot that opinion concerning Bend which is indicated in its reason for opposing Overturf. Concerning Mr. Overturf the Jour nal says: "Crook County, with the Journal at the head of the class, owes Jim Overturf an apology, and a future vote of confidence. "As for the apology, here is the Journal's part of it. "During the campaign, we said in these columns that Overturf was the least desirable of the three can didates asking for support, and we believed it, because of the location of his home. "Evidently our belief was shared by many of the people because the total Tote cast for Mr. Overturf as we remember was 12S. "Throughout the present legisla ture, Mr. Overturf very courteous ly replied to every communication from Prineville, so far as we have knowledge, which is more than can be said of his colleagues. He has voted and worked for the interests of the people and from present indications is the most reliable and perhaps the most able legislative timber Central Oregon possesses urooK county voters must re member and vote for H. J. Over turf at the next opportunity. You owe it to him." To this The Bulletin Is glad to add the statement of an Independ ent observer who has been In Salem during the session. He writes, "Overturf has been strictly on the job all the time during the session and has made a good impression on the other legislators. He has taken a considerable part in debate and has become rather prominent among the members of the bouse." RipplirigRhqniQS Poor Humanity Some times I think the human race has very little fun; less pleasure than the brutes that chase and gambol in the sun. I'd like to be a bob-o-link and circle in the air; for little birds like this, I think, know naught of human care. They bear no burden on their backs, no weary load that kills; they do not pay an income tax, or face big monthly bills. I'd like to be a kangaroo upon a desert plain, and I would hop a mile or two, and then hop back again. Sometimes sad thoughts like these I think, when life has made me hot; but some one shoots the bob-o-link, and I remain unshot. The lower animals I view, and think them satisfied; but some one siays the kangaroo that he may tan its hide. "I'd like to be a crocodile," in peevish mood I wail, "and I would swim the storied Nile and smash things with my tail." But crocodiles know little mirth, and much of woe they've known; for every critter on this earth has troubles of its own. But cats and wolves and grizzly bears and cows and birds and snakes don't publish forth their daily cares, their little pains and aches. They take existence as it comes, the bitter with the sweet, and, being short of muffled drums, they look for things to eat. REDMOND MINSTRELS SHOW IN CLOVERDALE CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN AH House Have Tablet Telling Nam of the Responsible Dweller Within the Wall. In Japan you can leam a good many things about the resident of a house merely by looking at Ills door. Ac cording to police regulations, says a writer in Chambers' Journal the en trance to every residence must have a small wooden tablet affixed to it This tablet has the name and the number of the house on It, and on another tnblet Is the name of the responsible house holder, who In many cases Is an In fant, a younger brother of a relative. Sometimes, though rarely, the names of other Inmates are pluced over the door, but there Is no police regulation that requires it, except In the case of boarding bouses, which have to place their boarders' names outside for all to see. A person fortunate enough to possess a telephone always has the nnmber proudly displayed over his en trance. Near It you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That Is the Are insurance mark. Every fire insurance company has Its own special metal plate, which it noils to the lintel when It Insures a house. There are always several small pieces of paper pasted over the door, placed there by the police. One Is to certify that the periodical oshojl, or great cleaning, has taken place. An other paper tells us, perhaps, that the sanitary conditions nre satisfactory. What others stand for Is known only to the police themselves; that they give secret Information about the In mates is certain. Formerly It was the ru'e that, If there wag a well upon the premises, the fact had to be proclaimed by a square board marked with the charac ter for well Ido. This whs to show where people could obtain water In case of fire In the neighborhood. The regulation may still be In force In country places, but owing to water now being piped, It Is no longer enforced n the cities. CLOVERDALE. Feb. 23.

This Monster Was Battler. The curators of the I.aunceston nnd Tascanlun museum have presented to the Iloyal Society of Tasmania the pre liminary account of a nearly complete skeleton of a gigantic extinct monster, recently discovered In the pleistocene beds of Tnsmnnla. The animal was as large as the largest existing rhinoceros. The new discovery shows clearly thnt It was a rhlnoceros-IIke animal, with a skull built for aggressive warfare, and at least one powerful horn on the snout.
