The Boardman Mirror Boardman, Oregon PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Mrs. Claire P. Harler, Local Editor MARK A. CLEVELAND, Publisher $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered as second-class matter Feb. 11, 1921, at the post office at Koard nian, Ore., under act of Mar. 3, 1879. LIVLV FEREVER HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922 "What is human conduct but the daily and hourly sale of our wills for trifles" -the foregoing is publish ed broadcast as an epigram by the "clever" iiernaid Shaw. A lie! Hu man people In the mass do not hour ly, or daily, or even weekly, or yet even monthly, sell their souls. D cause the human person loves com fort and entertainment and solaces himself sometimes with regretable little vices and falls inlo error (but flesh is heir to, it does not mean (hat he sells his soul. The soul is not so easily sold. And mark you, the soul that was made by God is not as easily lost as some people imagine, either. If fellers liverT forever, and no one had to die, we wouldn't need to think about a home beyond the sky, an' the dread of fire hereafter needn't worry us a bit, for there wouldn't be no habits that a feller had to quit. The money-sharks would get it all an' never leave a smell, for if misers lived forever, they couldn't go to hell, an' I have a sneakin' notion, as I watch 'em multiply, that it ain't no disadvantage fer an ornery cuss to die. If people lived forever, an' a family gathered in, it would take a forty-acre field to hold a feller's kin, an' when it come to feedin' 'em, I haven't any . doubt that one New Year s dinner would clean a feller out. I hope I'm no; hard-hearted, nor prone to speakin' rough, but I think the plan of heaven an hell is. plenty good enough. YESTERDAY OR TOMORROW The slate of Oregon has just ad vertised to the world why she .stands forty-first in the nation in point of development. An opportunity was presented whereby the state as a whole could unite on Holding a World's Fair In 1925. The object of the special session called by the governor was to pro vide means for the people to vole on the uostlon in May. The fact that 14 senators decided to decide the question and promptly ikilled the fair should tend to lake some of I he sligma from the slate as a whole. By whai rights did litis self-anolted 14 take this world Infant to their bosoms and smother it with political verdigris? If the plan submitted by the pro ponents of the fair did not meet your ipproval, why did you no! Call cus with them, if it took all winter, until you worked out a plan agree able to all? Did you not go to this session with that Oregon Fori. v lirsl in the Union spirit coursing in your veins?

NEW YORK .NOT AN AMERICAN CITY To many of us living west of the Hudson river westward to the Pa cific the city of New York has 'oomed up as a place of wonders, as a city of divers immensities and mys teries. All this has been impressed on our Tiiinds by plays, movie shows and stories In which, as a mailer of fact, the thrllll and cleverness of New Yoik were almost entirely im aginative. There used to be a popular song OH the llowery, once a lillhy "joint" district in New York Where every thing went. II ran like this: "The llowery! The llowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the llowery! The llowery! I'll never go there any more." The "llowery" has gradually been lost, losi in ih Immensity of a new llowery, which new llowery is prac i Ically i he w hole city. New York is no longer an Ameri can community. It has been Hooded tor a quarter of a century by certain elements from eastern and southern Europe; people who have no desire al all to learn American manners or American customs Indeed, their set Is rubbing your Stagnant shore. Is I intention is to retain their own cus tbe pit you mill so bottomless lhat ! lotus and manners. And inasmuch as hope within you is dead ' Do you not dare to stop out inlo the coming three years and pledge oiir hit for this fair which means so much for all of Oregon? Hoes your pride re bel against the stigma of piker he lug seared on your brow? Do you (here are millions of them in New Y'ork and vicinity Ihey are steadily. Irresistibly, forcing their ways, their customs and their ideas of morality and living on the people around them. Tlu only restraining influence is WE HAVE PUT IN A VERY COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF Marsh Bryan Mazda Lamps sue us for nitres and Druggist Sundries A very liniely article appeared In last week's Oregonian on dairying i he article was headed "Love all Your Cows and Get More Mill Mrs. Adda F. Howie of Milwaukee, Wis., is the fountain of information. She has been loving cows for 25 years and has made a wonderful success. . She says thai every cow, whether it be humble or of royal birth, should have ils own name. To address a cow in the plain cold terms of just plain cow. will tend to interrupt the How of milk. It you will but breeze out in the early morning dew with a cheery good morning Kate, how's the rest of ihe folk, Rate will im mediately return you to the house for l,he second bucket. She says lhat music will not hurt any cow and possibly do it good. There is a question of doubt in that statement. Did you ever hear song rising from a cow quartet, let us say In By lime? The tenor has partly emit ted high C when he is nearly choked to death by the business end of Kate's tail. The Swiss bass has a mouthful of yodels mixed up with a bottle By, The second tenor's (Swe dish birth) high C was to great a strain for the milking stool and In Ml amidst the spoor. The baritone was hitting on all four when the cow he was milking made it five. To have music work properly you must be careful in its selection. Y'ou hear of Grand Opera singers being of bumble birth. From what I have heard ( 1 sing some) none ever hum bled up from a cow shed. Mrs. Howie says that neither lace or chintz curtains dislurb bossy. Un til We have windows to curtain this feature of extended love will have to wait. Mrs. Howie decries as be ing termed "queer" in presenting these love sonnets to the cow. She has been abroad twice studying dairying conditions and she is con vinced Ihe more love the more milk Mrs. Howie's theory is well prov en. The entire universe al this very day is seeking the love of mankind but Ihe only lime we say ii with flowers is at the grave. A milk brother rises and presents this hypothetical Question : "if cow In reaching with her rear right paddle for her left eat in passing brazes your left Cheek and musses your composure should you speed up your love or cave in her fifth rib?" Ii is simply a matter of milk, it hinges on how your feelings are reached. If you cherish your fatted milk check, give your love the gas. If it depends on your instant temperament and your , evening composure, loosen the rib. What a wonderful subject is love, I so easy to be had. and so little used. May 1 live to see the day when this project is run on a love basis, es- I serially cows. One of the strongest arguments for Mrs. Howie's theory is the fact postoftices, gnat harbor Improve ments and other projects benefiting that massed part of the population. Every year tens of millions are paid out to the employees of Uncle Sam who live and work in the cities. Where the government spends five million dollars in a city of 100,000 people, how much does it spend on an agricultural county of 100,000 people and in which are located only a tew small towns and villages? ANSWER: So small an amount as to be absolutely absurd in com parison. If it spent the one-hundredth part of that sum, or $50,000, in sucn a country, that country thinks a mira cle has happened. The government ought to spend at least as much of the public taxes and of the receipts from its bonds where one 50 per cent of the total population lives as it spends where the other 50 per cent live. How? To the mind of the editor, the FIRST NECESSITY IS THE PAV ING AND SEWERING OF THE STREETS OF COMMUNITY CEN TERS, the small towns of the na tions. Paving, for the business pros perity, (he convenience, the educa tional advantage and the comfort of the whole community, and to ad vance the civic solidarity of the whole community surrounding such towns. Sewering in centers, as a national health measure, the sewers to be ex tended to the farms in good time. Small towns cannot afford such pro jects; they will do well to keep them up after the improvements are es tablished. The government can and should afford it. And for every dollar Uncle Sam spends in such public improve ments, he will increase the wealth of the nation $10 up to even $100. A book could be written on the mormous advantages that would ac crue lo all the people of the United States ALL OF THEM from such ix tens Ion of government, attention o our villages and towns. It is not a dream; it is plain pro gress, and this newspaper proposes in urge government enterprises from 'mi" to time in an effort lo further democracy in this favored "Land of the Free and Home of l n Iirave." MEAT MAKING IS IMPORTANT BUT MEAT BATING MORE SO One of Ihe greatest values of meat producing animals to the country is as salvagers of materials lhat would otherwise go to waste. The making of meat is not, as sometimes con tended, a waste of food that might be used directly by humans with reater economy. Although animals, especially hogs, eat much corn and other grains that are used in one form or another by humans, they consume them along with large quantities of such coarse feeds as grass, hay, cornstalks, cereal by-products, straw, cottonseed meal, oil menu, nsu meai, tannage, anu silage. Without our great herds of live stock a considerable share o'f the plant products grown each year would be wasted, yet on such feeds as most of those mentioned a man would soon starve. That is one side to the live stock question that is brought out in an exhibit devoted to meats. On the other hand, meat will be shown as a food that "sticks to the ribs" and fulfills the demands of the laborer, the brain worker, and the athlete. Attention will be called to the fact that the most powerful na tions in the world are what might be termed the meat caters, and that while America has been rising to her present eminence she nas been one of the greatest consumers of beef, pork, and mutton. Rut to get from the meat the essential elements for energy, growth, and repair it is not necessary to eat the most ex pensive cuts. The value of the cheap er cuts will be demonstrated, and ways will be shown for serving all sorts of meals in all kinds of ap petizing forms. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION' DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U. S.
