C. C O N N E R , E d it o r a n d M a n a g e r Entered as second-class matter January 25, 1913, at the post office at Cottage Grove. Oregon, under the Act of March 3, 1879. The Literary Moses. There’s a deal of classic rubbish In the magazines today, W rit by masters of expression And rhetorical display. They prate of agriculturists Recruited from the slums— The city’s rank incompetents And derby-hatted bums. They would make of drunken brawlers Peaceful tillers of the soil, And impress the chronic loafers With the dignity of toil They’d persuade the thug and gambler To forsake the haunts that charm, For the ponds o f milk and honey That awaits them on the farm. Rural life beneath the surface Has a sterner phase by far, Than appears to the observer In a speeding auto car The farm has naught to offer, To those who shrink from toil W ho are useless in the cities Would be useless to the soil. A s for most successful farmers. A re to the manor born, And the labor guilds and unions Laugh our strenuous ways to scorn. From sun to sun w e ’re toiling, Through the blazing hours of June— N ot eight hours spent in labor, And six hours in a saloon. There are honest, sober toilers, North and South, and East and West, W ho are living in the cities Because the city suits them best. All the people can’t be farmers, Oh, ye theorists, intense! Spice your literary efforts W ith a grain of common sense. — Orchard and Farm. A G o o d W o r d F o r C a v ia r . WORKMEN’S ACT GETTINGRESULTS LABORERS ARE BENEFITED. ing $020,001 us the probable cost of compensation for 88 per cent o f the industrial accidents In Wisconsin for 1913. Indemnity is paid only In cases where disability extends beyond the seventh day, while medical attendance applies to all accidents where such services arc needed. The cost here given accounts only for money actually paid to or on be half o f the Injured workmen and does not Include overhead cost o f In surance. The amount paid to injured workmen Is easily more than three times as much ns they received In any one year under the old law. But tills does not by any means show that it cost the employers three times ns much as under the old system. I Tndor that system the Injured workmen did not receive more than 25 per cent o f the amount paid by employers, while under the compensation act at lenst 75 per cent o f the amount paid by the employers goes directly to the men who are hurt. In another way the results o f the operation o f the compensation law dur ing the last year were gratifying. Old line insurance rates were reduced twice during the year. In February rates were reduced about 25 per cent, and In Octolier they were reduced about 13 per cent, and at tbe same time coverage was Increased from $5,000 and $ 10,000 to an unlimited amount. For unlimited coverage under liability the rates were about 20 per cent higher than under limited coverage. In addition to the foregoing, I (Senses of accidents were seltlisl against the state and municipalities at a cost o f $30,942. The cost o f administration o f the com|>ensatlon act by the commission for the year 1913 did not exceed $8,000.

Green Bay, Wls. — Cap, a big deer hound that had been about tbe streets o f this town for years and who despite his bedraggled and old appearance was at one time a prize winner at kennel shows throughout the country, came Into his own again. H e had that “ day” which all dogs are said to be entitled to when, ownerless and unscrubbed, he "entered” the show o f the North western Wisconsin Poultry and Pet Stock association nnd refused on any account to get out. When the champions in the vnrious classes were living Judged Cap, pass ing In the cold outside o f Turner ball, pattered up to the swinging main door and nudged it with his nose. Inside was a fam iliar sight. There were rows and rows o f lienches on which were squatted dogs he would have scorned to notice In his old days. Hardly had his nose been noticed when It disappeared nnd reappeared as he threw Ids weight against the door nnd dashed into the building. Anxious owners tried to shoo hint nnd attend ants Alcked him with whips as he walked along the benches and looked over each contestant. Once Iti awhile he turned quickly, hut he did not snarl, nnd when he reached n vacant bench he hopped nim bly on to it. There he lost his temper nnd. with teeth showing, refused to be budged. Spectators ticca me Interested and Anally entered him formally, and he sat nil day with a regal air, eating good food nnd making the best show pos sible for a very tired old hound.

B o d y o f S t u r d y O ld V o h ic le o f O a k a n d W h o o la o f H ic k o r y . Lancaster, Kan.—W. M. Morgan of this village is tbe possessor o f a bug gy, or light wagon, which is ninety years old. It was brought to Kansas from Vermont by M. J . Cloyes o f Atchison when a young man. Mr. Cloyes is now eighty-seven years of age and bought the buggy secondhand when he commenced farming In the New England states. When Mr. Cloyes quit farming In this community a uumber o f years ngo he sold the buggy to Morgan at public auction. The present owner uses the buggy frequently, as it is still in good condi tion, although considerably antiquat ed in style. A peculiar feature o f the rig is that the springs are fastened lengthwise to either side of the body. Nearly all of those manufactured to day have the springs across the ends. The wood used In the body of the ve hicle is oak. while the wheels are made of hickory. The material used in the construction o f the vehicle Is still In a splendid state of preserva tion, and Mr. Morgan is conOdent that It will last ten years longer. “FRESH” EGG IS 5 YEARS OLD Id e n tifie d b y W o m a n W h o N a m e o n It.

With tiny segments of this iridescent material he builds up a beautiful design bit by bit, section by section. First, from the cabinetmaker he re ceives the woodwork upon which his design will be formed. It may be the top o f a carved chest, a portion o f a stool or table, or some dainty uick- nack to delight a lady’s heart. Then upon the wood he roughly draws the design and gathers together the crude pieces with which to form the mosaic lu the wood. Selecting a piece o f mother-of-pearl, he fits It in a vise, and then with a tiny Ale he shapes It to occupy the required space. D eftly he sets the section In the wood, Axing It with warm paste to All the crevices. Another piece Is then selected, fash ioned and secured, and so day after day till the piece is complete. The design Is then rubbed with pumice stone to give enhanced color, varnish is applied, aud the Anishing touches are given.
