VOL. 2 C O TTAG E GROVE, LAN E C O U N TY , OREGON, W EDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1914 NO. & THE “ TOMORROW” OF ALL EUROPE I HIGH SCHOOL BODY ELECTS OFFICERS One o f the most striking com­ ments on the war is that o f Har­ old Begbie, written for the Lon­ don Times a few hours a fter the declaration o f war: “ Honor may call on us to fight, self-preservation may force us into the slaughter house; but let us wear on our sleeves the crepe o f mourning for a civilization that had the promise o f joy, and strike our enemy without a hic- cop or a curse. N ever shall we know again what is now perish­ ing. And we shall want all our strength for “ Tom orrow.” “ This war means the sudden stopping o f the clock which we moderns have regulated not only by our meals, not only our jour­ neys, but habits o f our minds. The big stick o f brutal force has suddenly been thrust into the delicate and exquisite mechanism o f civilization. The wheels cease turning, the hands are arrested, and the peaceful, friendly and most fam iliar tick-tack o f our human existence dies into a si­ lence not yet broken by the clan­ gor o f the guns, the groans o f the dying and the noise o f falling thrones. Already, now at this moment, civilization stops—stops dead.” The High School Body organ­ ized last week for the year o f 1914-15, by electing the follow­ ing officers: H. E. Edwards, President; Herold White, Vice President; William Skidmore, Treasure; Sadie Cox, Secretary; Raymond Veach, S a g t at Arms; May Armstrong, Manager Dra­ matics and Debate. Hattie Landess, Editor in Chief; Glen Smith, Athletic Manager; Warren Edwards, Yell Leader. Pres. Edwards, in his address, gave splendid council to the stu­ dent body, and the efficiency o f the official corps gives promise o f a splendid year for the Cottage Grove High School. ^ Kaiser Wilhelm was rei>orteout last week and is still climbing. three hundred and twenty-six 12:30 Sunday night, with all its The enrollment in the grades Grange in all parts o f the state as means o f passing out “ spoils” plant lice, one hundred chinch occupants— several dozen very promises now to break all pre­ show the farmers lined up solidly from the state treasury to the against all the freak measures several localities where they are bugs, thirty-nine grasshoppers, choice fowls. vious records. on the ballot—$1500 exemption situated. tw elve squash bugs, tw elve cut The fire is supposed to have Groveites See Big Mill and eight-hour law included. worms, tw elve army worms and started from ashes which had The school was in operation un­ ‘A ll that has made this strange eight white grubs— all these, Postmaster VanDenbnrg Mas- der biennial appropriations from The Tallant cannery at Marsh­ been emptied near the hen house experience o f conscious human says the state game warden o f or J.
