The editor of the Eugene Guard pays his respects to dead-beats In the follow ing declaration of independence :"Said a well-known business man to us the other day: 'It would not hurt you to occasionally mentioo our business in the paper. It would help to fill up, you know.' Yes, we might do it We haven't the least idea on earth that it would hurt us, and it would, as he suggests, help to fill up. We might do all this, but at the same time, thank God, we do not hare to do it unless we . feel like it. It would not hurt him, either, to come around and say: 'Give me a column or a half column of space for an advertisement, and here Is the money to pay for it.'" The Guard is right. There is no class of men on earth that does as much hard work, without compen sation, as the newspaper men. Do you ever see the grocer spending his time and good hard coin in telling the peo ple what a fine stock of goods his neighbor, the drygoods merchant, is putting in? Do you ever notice tne banker paying young men and young women weekly wages to go about tell ing the people of the fine new machin ery that Is being added to the soap fac tory, or or the soap man consuming valuable time in praising the enter prise of the banker in putting in a new burglar-proof safe and metal vault furniture? It is safe to say that you never hear anything of the sort, and yet this is what the newspaper editor is doing every day and week of the year and he does it without money and without price. The editor who is loyal to his town, and who takes pride in seeing it grow and prosper, does these things cheerfully and willingly, usually without a thought of compen sationas often, likely as not, the recipients of these favors are contrib uting little or nothing to the support of the paper, The enterprising editor is always glad to say a good word for the enter prising business men of his town, although knowing full well that the chances are even that he will never receive one word of thanks for his exhibition of kindness and good-will. He does this willingly, although con scious that every line of type in his paper costs him money, and that if nobody else pays for it, the expense will have to come out of his own pocket. It Is this state of affairs that causes the self-respecting newspaper man to have small patience with the profes sional dead-beat, who is always seek ing to profit by the brains and labor or others. The editor is always look ing for something to "fill up" his columns, but he likes to use his own judgment as to the quantity and quality of the "filling." in the Towusend creamery. After once usintr this modern power, no manufacture is willing to dispense with it, and the Obsehveii predicts that the time is not far distant when every mill and factory wheel in Dal las will be driven by electricity. SUSTAINS FRACTURE OF ARM Folk County Farmer Falls From Top of Separator With Ser ious Results. Henry McDowell, a farmer of Polk county, who resides a few miles from Salem, was severely injured by falling from the top of a separator which he was driving on the farm of R. Eunice, Monday about 1 :30 p. m. McDowell was driving a four-horse team, using four lines. The links which fastened the tongue to the axle suddenly broke and he was pulled off his seat by the lines. He fell head foremost to the ground, aligbtingon one hand and the side of hi3 face. When he got up he found that his forearm was broken and that he had been severely bruised about the head. He immediately went to his home and Dr. W. H. Byrd of Salem was summoned. On examining the patient he found that the injuries to the head were nothing more than bad bruises, and that there were no internal injuries. Salem Statesman.

The poultry enthusiasts of Polk county have organized the Polk County Poultry association and expect to hold their first annual show at Dal las some time during next December. Here's hoping that they will be as suc cessful in their effort to make known the great possibilities of that section for raising chickens as have the Angora goat breeders in developing their industry. Salem Statesman. Over one hundred new dwellings have been erected in Dallas this year and still there are not enough to sup ply the demand from those who want to reside in that enterprising city. That sounds good from a prosperity standpoint. However, its Board of Trade should make a movement to encourage the building of more struct ures so as to hold the new-comers, who are desirous of settling there. Salem Statesman.

To yon, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month lou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls-mars decorations and increases household work You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. ' ' WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
