Makes Annual Tour Through Klamath JLA M A TH F A L L S . Ora.. July 28. — Frogs, big and little, treble and haaa, paunchy, goggla-eyed old hull frogs and alender. striped llttla acrobats which were tadpoles last spring, invaded this eity today by thousands, hopping solemnly ami earnest!* through the streets, on their way from Lake Kwauana to Upper Klamath Lake. Some o f them failed to reach their destination, for they are excellent trout bait, and all the anglers who’ could possibly take a day off took advantage o f the supply. From time immemorial the froga have made thia annual mi gration, at thia season. They might follow the waterway con necting the two, if they choee, hut they discovered an overland crosscut, and ever since they have taken advantage o f it. The fields vanlahed ami (he city came. It made no difference to the froga. They have continued to hop stolidly over cobbles and aaphalt, through dust and across macadam, regardless o f men, horaes or automobiles. What impulse or signs! d e t e r mines the date o f migration is unknown. Apparently tht my haa no leader am) it does no for aging on the march. Tomorrow not a frog w ill be in sight, but there w ill be at night a great ehorua o f ahrill piping and rumb ling basses from the marshes of the upper lake. c 'The Shop” Where Good Printing is Done 73h e SENTINEL Y FORj ALL PURPOSES y ATTENTION!

Unearthing o f an ancient day book used by merchants o f Dayton, Ore., aome 43 years ago, throws interesting light 011 the subject o f modern living roat. This day hook, brought forward by the McMinnville Telephone R egis ter, serves to substantiate a point often made by The Oregonian that the coal o f high living rather than the high coat o f living ia what ails moat people to day. A comparison o f prices in many commodities between (lie years 1870 and 1913 shows a decided reduction iu favor o f today.

Hut there is enough to show that an array o f necessary articles o f every day use are relatively cheap today. It ia made clear that the fam ily which desired to live as it would have lived years ago might save even more in 1913. The (rouble ia that there are more catch penny allurement« to tempt the family funds from the savings bank. Moving- pielure shows, fancy articles o f diet sod apparel, all roll up the coat o f high living. Meanwhile the high coat of living remains about where it was de cades ago.—Oregonian.
