ERE is an important distinc
ticn that many people over
look. God made the world;
but He does not make your world.
He provides the raw materials
and out of them every man select:
what he wants and builds an ind
vidual world for himself.
The fool looks over the wealth o:
material provided, and selects a few
plates of ham and eggs, a few pairs
of trousers, a few dollar bills and
is satisfied.
The wise man builds his world ou
of wonderful sunsets, and thrillm:
experiences, and the song of th
stars, and romance and miracles.
Nothing ever happens in the lift
of a fool.
A primrose by a river's brim
A yellow primrose is to him,
And ii is nothing more.
An electric light is simply a:
electric light: a telephone is only ;
telephone nothing unusual at all.
Hut the wise man never ceases t(
wonder how a tiny speck of seed
apparently dead and buried, can pro
duce a yellow (lower. He never lift
a telephone receiver or switches ot
an electric light without a certaii
feeling of awe.
And to think what a miracle it Is
this harnessing of electricity to th
service of man!
Who. unless his sense of awe ha(
grown blunt through constant fa
miliarity, would believe it?
The sun. the center of our uni
verse, goes down behind the westeri

night the wound healed, and each
day it was torn open again.
I hat was the punishment of lh,
man who dared to wrest away (Ik
richest (reasure of (he gods.
Hut lire the treasure of the
gods has almost disappeared out ol
our daily life: we scorn it
Do we want heal? We press a

A Mrs. Sasah Johnson, who is a
rfeclly respectable woman of Win
hrop Harbor. 111., stepped off the

'r sleeves didn't quite come down
j the wrists. Her waist didn't
ach up to (he middle of the throai
id Voliva's chief of police though

This is a plain outrage. AMther

ohiison ought to plead not guilty to
hatever charge this jackass of a
oliva makes against her and then
.peal from his decision to the high
st court of the land We think thai
here are plenly of women in (he
"niled States who will be glad to
ielp her finance such an appeal.
Incidentally, we hear that Mrs.
ohnson is the recipient of many let

Ul (.lis nil. CHAMPAGNE?
We note the folowing sad com
lainl from France, told in a cable
ispatch from l'aris:
"That Preach grape growers and
ine merchants are greatly disap
pointed at the slow increase of wine
hlpmenta to the I'nited Stales since
he war; that only 8.000 more bot
les of champagne were shipped hen
luring the first five months of this
ear than during the corresponding
ive months last year The dispatch
aid that total shipments so far this
.ear to the I'. S. were only 55,000
ottles. indicating that we would
ake no more than 140.000 bottles
f champagne this year."
Ahem! So some people in this
ountry have been able to get 55,
000 bottles of champagne in this
lrict prohibition year of 1921. Nec
ssarlly (hose 55.000 bottles of
highly expensive wine had to go
hrough (he custom service of the
ame government that is supposed
ii enforce prohibition Who are (he
people favored?
We suppose some doctor will re
mark (hat the champagne was for
sickness. Hut how about the mil
lions of boitles of wine (hat were
in storage when prohibition went in
to effect? Is that all gone? And
who consumed it? Moreover, if it
Is still in storage why add 55.000 to
it in live months?
There has been a great deal saiil
that prohibition is for the poor man

The local lodge of Neighbors of

Quite a surprise party was given
at Mrs. C. K. Knight's Thursday
evening in honor of Mrs. E. H.
Knight, the occasion being Mrs.
Knight's birthday anniversary. A
large crowd had been arranged for
and a big feast prepared consisting
of Ice cream, cake and chicken sand
wiches. All report having had a fine
time.
Apricots are beginning to color,
and a few scattering ripe ones can
be found. The crop is not heavy,
and the bulk of the crop has been
sold in advance, if not oversold.
The price this year is 7 cents per
pound at the orchards, or $2 per
crate f. o. b. Irrigon. Dewberries
and red raspberries are also ripe,
and have been selling locally for a
week or ten days. Mrs. C. E. Glas
gow has the largest patch of the red
berries, and they are the very best.
Ii. J Curtin, travelling freight
agent of the O.-W. 1. & N dropped
off at Irrigon between trains Fridav,
and was shown about the project by
(he local agent. Mr. Curlln express
ed very much surprise at finding so
many different crops growing so nice
ly while not very visible from the
train. He seemed particularly in
terested in the Irrigon melon crop
of which he had so often heard. He
promises us another visit later when
the melons are ripe. We shall see
that he is notified when they are
ready to eat.
