I f the day looks kinder gloomy,
A n ’ your chances kinder slim,
I f the situation’s puzzlin’
A n ’ the prospect’ s awful grim,
A n ’ perplexities keep pressin’
’ Til all hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and g rit your teeth,
A n ’ keep on keepin’ on.
Fumin’ never wins a fight,
A n ’ frettin ’ never* pays;
There ain’ t no good o f broodin’ in
These pessimistic w ays--
Smile just kinder cheerfully
When hope is nearly gone,

There ain’t no use in grow lin’

When music’ s ringin’ everywhere

Just keep on smilin’ cheerfully

James Whitcomb Kiley.
The Leader is publishing ex
tracts from an editorial in the
Oregonian o f Monday, on the
turning o f the tide o f prosperity.
There is no one in so good a po
sition to observe the trend o f a f
fairs, industrially, commercially
or politically, as a metropolitan
newspaper, with all its news con
nections throughout the country,
and what such a paper says edi
torially, if honestly told, is the
best barometer o f times and con
ditions to be found anywhere,
The Oregonion sees sure signs o f
an improvement in conditions,
and gives its readers the benefit
o f its optimistic conclusions.
There does not seem to be any
doubt in the minds o f men in a
position to know, that business
conditions are going to improve
greatly in the next few weeks.
The unprecedentedly big crop is
putting the railroads o f the coun
try to a hard test to handle the
coming business, which will call
for greatly increased expendi
tures on their part. Financial
conditions are excellent and la!>or
is going to be pretty generally
employed in all parts o f the coun
try for several months to come.
It looks as though the pessimist
would have to go out o f business
for a time at least.
The people o f ijin e county
ought to be kept reasonably busy
amusing themselves for the next
few days. With a Chautauqua
at Cottage Grove and another
at Eugene this week, a big tour-
days' celebration and carnival at
Springfield, a celebration at lx>-
rane and a half dozen more
throughout the country next
week, there is no good reason
why anybody should go hungry
for amusement.
“ I have noticed." said Dad
Commit the other day. “ that
when a man is wrestling with a
full grown tooth-ache he hasn't
either time or inclination to butt
into the other fellow 's business,
or worry about governmental af
fairs.”,

• >
The Big event in the history o f
Cottage Grove, the Three Days
Chautauqua, will begin Thursday,
and continue with a continued
round o f good things until Satur
day night.
The entertainers secured for
these three days are among the
very best on the Chautauqua cir
cuit, and the people o f the com
munity have arranged a big list
o f amusements to be interspersed
with the regular program.

es;; Ash Davis, the Cartoonist;
Count Alexander M. Lochwitzky,

This week’ s entertainment will
stand long in the minds o f local
people as a point in time from
which to reckon amusement dates.
