many, speeding through a straight
away five-mile lane flanked by dense
rows of surging, jubilant humanity,
late Monday reached the chancellor's
palace, where, he was a guest of a
single night, pending his formal in
duction into office at noon Tuesday.
An uneventful train ride of four
hours carried the presidential party
to the edge of Berlin shortly before
G o'clock this evening and in less than
10 minutes Germany's new soldier
president, who craves seclusion and
balks at the adulation of the friend
ly mob, found himself engulfed in a
vortex of frenzied men, women and
children.
Even the enthusiasm of mobiliza
tion days in August, 1914, did not ap
proximate in volume the popular ac
claim which today poured into the
path of the nation's new executive,
and although the proverbial Hohen-
zollern weather was denied him, nu
merous manifestations of pre-war
sentiments and yearnings greeted him
all along tho route.
The old colors were there in "pro
fusion and the air was redolent of
mothballs, for thousands of family
chests and wardrobes had yielded up
an assortment of gaily bespangled
uniforms and other gala appart
which went into seclusion with tin
revolution of 1918.
Through it all Field Marshal von
Hindenburg sat rigidly beside Chan
cellor Luther, his face immobile and
marked by pallor, while his right hand
automatically touched the rim of his
top hat as he responded to the vocifer
ous greetings to his right and left.
With more than military pi em pi
ness the president's train arrived al
the Heerstrasses station, where Dr
Luther's 10-year-old daughter, dress
ed in white, stepped forward, and aa
tho field marshal alighted spoke a
verse of welcome, and, bowing cour
teously low, handed tq him a bunch
of yellow roses. With a faint smile
the field marshal thanked her and
then turned the flowers over to his
daughter-in-law, to whom Chancellor
Luther had presneted a cluster of
lilies of the valley.
Von Hindenburg wore a black over
coat and carried a yellow cane. He
shook hands with the other digni
taries, after which he bowed to the
assembled reporters. At that mo
ment a mighty shout aroHe from the
top of the embankment where a great
crowd assembled. The shouts and
cheers were repeated with increased
volume as he left the station to step
into an automobile.

Washington, D. C. The treasury
has made plans for printing more
paper money in the next fiscal year
than ever has been turned out by the
American government In any other
12 months in -history.
Orders have been prepared for th
purchase of 200,000,000 sheets of dis
tinctive silk fiber paper, from each
sheet of. which eight pieces of cur
rency are made, and, beginning July
1, the government bureau of engrav
ing and printing will bo run at maxi
mum capacity to meet the nation's
paper money requirements.
Never In any one year 'before have
the orders for money paper exceeded
150,000,000 sheets. Coincident with an
nouncement of the printing program
Assistant Secretary Dewey made
known that the treasury would take
its first step July 1 toward buildinR
up a reserve of currency. By this
method, It is hoped, the life of the
paper money may bo prolonged. An
opportunity will bo had for "curing"
tho money before it goes Into active
service, and this process is expected
to keep It from fraying, cracking and
otherwise going to pieces so easily.
The life of the $1 bill is now only
about eight months, whereas treas
ury exports figure it should be about
a year. In pre-war days the average
dollar bill would wear about 14 or 15
months. Mr. Dewey is convinced that
higher prices, use of automobiles, the
necessity of commerce and Industry
and modern ideas and habits compel
the carrying of more money. Thus,
the silver dollar has fallen into dis-

use and the dollar hill and bills of
larger denomination have come into
greater use with the result that they
wear out more quickly.
The treasury has not been able
since the world war to print money
fast enough to permit establishment
of a reserve. Mr. Dewey says the
bills no ware printed and placed in
circulation within ten days, while
tests have proved that they should
not pass through the printing stages
In less than a month and should he
"cured" or "seasoned" two or three
weeks longer. With the gigantic pro
gram outlined for the next fiscal year,
It Is his belief that Current demands
can he met and a return to the proper
process of handling the bills accomplished.

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
Your Last
Name
IS IT HERRICK?
THE LARKS ARE SINGING
rr0 THOSE hopeful Individuals who
keep their gaze on the towers of
Utopia, glinting like gold In the far-off
dreamy distance, give thought to the
golden rule and put Its fine precepts
Into actual practice, the lurks are al
ways singing.
These humans have their trials and
difficulties, "even as you and 1" but
with them all, they manage to wear a
smile of content.
They go about their duties, however
discouraging they may seem, with a
cheerfulness that gives inspiration to
the discontented and fault-finding souls,
frequently losing their way and falling
In the mire of despair.
They know intuitively when to speak
and when to curb their tongues, for
they bnve learned the most difficult
of all arts, the art of self-control,
which the venerable suges will tell you
Is the first stepping stone to worldly
success and an enduring happiness.
Hope never deserts them even In
their darkest hours.
She holds 'her blazing torch over
her head and bids them follow.
So the gloom of somber night Is
transformed to day, and the trusting
disciples move from place to place,
confident of their ability to find their
wny to the hills where the lurks are
singing and the sky Is forever light
with glorious sunlight.
The world owes a debt of gratitude
to these optimistic people which It
never can pay, and you and I being a
part of the world, are likewise delin
quent and possibly thoughtless of our
constantly Increasing obligation.
We are too self-centered, too greedy
for gain, too. faithless.
We brush aside the weak In our
pursuit of earthly dross and trample
them under our hasty feet, never stop
ping to look back to see whether we
have hurt them. We forget that we
all are of one flesh, and if we have
injured them, we have Injured our
selves. Every day the wise Keeper of the
Book of Life is calling on some debtor
to blot out his or her delinquencies,
always hanging ever his or iier heud
until the account Is paid In full.
If you have canceled your obliga
tion and kept the faith, the day of
reckoning will have no terrors, for you
will find you are as free and happy as
the larks singing In gladness all uhout
you when the dawning Is rosy and the
air Is fragrant with the scent of flowers.

o
This name has tieen traced to a
first name used In Anglo-Saxon
days Hererlc, which is connected
with Eric and also with Richard, both
coming from u word meaning king or
prince.
One thing Is certain and that is that
Herri ck Is thoroughly English and that
it is a very old surname. In this
country the Herricks were among the
early settlers. Henry Herrick, a na
tive of Leicester, England, settled in
Salem in 1(1120. He was the son of Sir
William Herrick of Bean Manor,
Leicester. The name seems to be most
usual in Leicestershire, England,
which was apparently the cradle of
the Herricks, and the name is spelled
In countless different ways In the old
records there. Herlcke and Heyriek
were usually employed methods In old
days and are still used by seme of the
English families.
Among the distinguished descend
ants of Henry Herrick, the colonist,
were John Herrick, educator, who was
president of the University of South
Dakota and the Pacific university of
Oregon; D. Cady Herrick, prominent
jurist ; Ebenezer, w ho was representa
tive from Maine at Washington before
the Civil war; Joshua H., also Maine
representative, and Samuel Herrick,
representative from New York.
In England there was an Interesting
old family of goldsmiths of the name.
Sometimes they spelled it Hericke,
sometimes Herrick and sometimes
Heyriek. Sir William Herrick or
Herlcke, born In 1562, was the fifth
son of John Heyriek or Eyricke of
Leicester, who undoubtedly belonged
to the same connection to which the
colonist, Henry Her-lck, belonged.
Sir William Herrick was a money
lender who won favor with kings and
nobles. A son of his named Richard
Herrick, born In 160ff, was warden of
Manchester Collegiate church, and a
nephew was Sir Robert Herrick, born
in 1591, well-known English poet. His
father was Nicholas Herrick, brother
of Sir William Herrick, also a gold
smith. ,
The poet, Herrick, a contemporary
of Shakespeare, wrote some charming
songs. Among them are :
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Oid time Is still a-flyine.
and
Cherry ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,
Pull and fair ones come and buy!

Irvin S. Cobb
FIXING BLAME AT ITS
SOURCE
Portland.- Softness of the lumber
market continued during the last
week. The weekly report of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association, cov
ering returns from 123 mills, also re
flected conditions none too satisfac
tory, with a marked reduction In sales
bookings. In the week ending May
the mills sold only 100.29J.477 feet,"
the lowest total reported In many
weeks. In the previous week sales
aggregated 119.915.6S7 feet, and for
some time they had not fallen below
110,000,000 feet.
npillS little story has one merit, at
least. Of my own personal knowl
edge 1 can testify that it Is true.
A tired business luun in New York,
coining home after a particularly
enervating day, had occasion, or
thought he hud, to speak sharp
words of reproof to his eight-year-old
son. He wound up by sending the
youngster to bed without any supper.
That night, stealing into the young
ster's room to see whether he had
fallen asleep, his mother found him
wide awake and very scornful of her
ad unces.
"Why. Jackie." the said, "you
shouldn't be surly toward me just
because your father scolded you.
I'm not to blame."
Yes. you are too:' stated Jackie.

I got to stand for him 1"
