romantic pictures of moving log
cine trains and all of the trimmings
Insomuch as the camps and the

actors" were sadly disappointed as
there now are no logKing trains
They had actors, dogs, dummies,
scenery of many kinds and every
thing else that "Roes with such an
outfit. They stated that they had
been working on tills ten episode
serial since July 19 an1 had about
a week'r more work on it.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir:
The following Item may have little
If any news value: however It may
have a tendency to cause right
minded people to think. So here
noes:
It was Monday morning when a
middle aged woman clean and de
cently, thoush poorly dressed, stood
ot the corner of street intersecting
the highway. The woman was badly
rrioDled. using two crutches and car
rying two bundles and a small
satchel. Although she was evidently
a stranger in this town, no one could
mistake her for a tramp or any
other person of disreputable char
acter. This unfortunate cripple stood
patiently at the coiner of the inter
secting street trying vainly to flag
down some humane driver for a lift.
Did she Bet it? She did not! At
least a half dozen cars passed, all
with plenty of loom for one more:
but none of thein noticed this poor
crippled woman. Until at last after
having vainly appealed to a number
of the more fortunate of her fellow
humans, as long as she was able to
stand on her poor crippled limbs;
she went her weary way towards
the next coiner.
Now sir, 1 cannot reconcile this oc
currence with the present high price
of pork in this section of Oregon. It
is certainly not due to the scarcity of
"swine" in this part of the country.
I would like to hear from some
of your readevs who may have an
opinion on this subject.

The Lunkford Sunday bill lor the
District of Columbia has been in
troduced In the present congress,
It is a measure that should be op
nosed bv every voter both men and
women because it strikes at the
Dcrsonal liberty of everyone, and
therefore it is un-American as it
restricts individual freedom In the
homes and on the premises of
everyone. It is a religious proposl
tlon founded on and put through
bv Dolitlcnl action. The illegiti
mate union of religion and politics
Is out of place here. The promo
tors vast in number are almost
frantic and threaten all opposition,
Should the bill pnss it becomes
sort of octopus at Washington
whose tentacles reach out into every
state in the union. It is said a mil
lion dollar slush fund is urging on
the movement. Religion hi politics
Has it come to this? So it seems.
Hundreds of protestors are out with
petitions in every state to thwart
If possible, tills dancer.
This week work with petitions
will begin in Marion and Polk
counties. Let all be prepared with
a ready signature.

In the rush of holiday things it
will be an easy matter to foreet
your house plants some ot these
cold nights, which threaten to turn
colder any time. It is well to re
member that near the window is
the coldest place in I -e house
the glass attracts the frost. Just as.
in summer. It attraots the heat.
Newspapers of several thicknesses
may be placed between the window
and the plant, until you are quite
aure me mne nas come for even
greater protection, such as putting
thein in a box, with a lid closed.
This year I am taking no chances
on losing my collection, consisting
or lour t ucluas and a Begonia, and
na.-e already dug a pit in the back
yard, in which I have nlaced them
The hole is square, being two feet
in oeptii, and equally wide and lone
so that an ordinary window sash
just covers the top of it. The plants
are suu in ineir pots, into which
i nave thrust sticks on which to
lay a heavy coating of newsnaDers.
before laying the window sash above
them, which will keep out super
fluous rain and keep in some heat.
When the weather is warm, I shall
remove the cover in daytime, but if
it should turn very cold, I shall put
a couple of warm bricks In the pit
at night.
I was almost caught napping
about 'y Chrysanthemums, having
left them on the porch until a
freeze caught them, as they looked
so pretty in contrast to the rather
wintry landscape. But I hastily
dug a deep trench on the dry side
of the house, covering them to the
very tops of the young sprouts, com
ing on, and finished off with news
papers, laid on like shingles. On
my Dahlia bed I shall follow the
some plan, for, in spite of all the
holler about digging Dahlias, and
turning them upside down, and
washing their faces, I have never
had the tubers freeze in the ground,
and have only dug them to keep
the ground animals from feeding
upon them in winter, when there
was no other food. And I am not
sure but what same pesky rodents
have benefited my garden by mak
ln deep draining tunnels through
which the water is carried away,
as I find none in winter, which Is
usually the cause of bulbs rotting
in the ground, if left there to winter.
In my last article. I said if you
wanted to get rid of slugs, there
was nothing you could do but "Pray"
but the printer, who probably knew
me, said you must "Spray." But
since then, I have learned that the
one safe and sure method, and one
which does not leave any sorrow
in its wake, is to visit your garden
after dark; with a flashlight, and
pounce upon the slug as he feasts
upon the young Delphiniums. In
a vegetable garde! you may place
a board near your plants and trap
the intruder under it. but ot course
no one cares to fill his flower gar-.
den with boards, so that the lan
tern or flashlight visit to the plants
seems a happy solution to the mat
ter. Advertisers are suggesting liv
ing gilts tor Christmas, and It seems
to me there can be no nicer way
to remember our friends than this
if you also add "growing." to the
word. It you get a holly tree with
berries on it, you are sure it Is a
holly-bearing tree, while If it has
no berries, you may be sure that it
is Just a natural born "spinlster'
and no amount of care will make
it anything else. In my own garden
I have a tree now twenty-four years
old. that Is only two feet high and
has never produced a berry. I am
inclined to believe that only the
grafted trees ever bear, although
the barren ones do very well to help
piece out tne necige.

ROMANCE
You often hear people refer to the "dear old days of rom
ance" to the time when knight-errants roamed the earth to do
honor to a lady's blue eyes.
These folks say we are living in an age of realism!
The age of "realism" where the human voice is hurled across
the world without wires; where the temperature of Mars is
taken more thnn thirty million of miles away; where tons of
Ktecl and people ride easily and safely through (he air or under
the sea!
An age of realism! Why, this is the most romantic of all ages!
The advertising columns of this paper are full of romance
of the romance of men who have devoted their lives to bringing
new comforts, conveniences and and pleasure for mankind.
Advertisements tell these stories, not with the romantic ex
aggeration of a jongleur, butwith the calm, simple words of
sincerity. Here is a firm that spent millions to develop a pro
duct that makes your baby comfortable. Here is a company that
lias labored fifty years to cut a single hour of toil from your
day's work. ITcre is a man who has searched the tScven Seas to
produce a new flavor for your dinner.
Romance thin age is full of it. Not just empty romance, but
the true romance of achievement, of progress, of the better
ment of mankind.
