Some ju'ople aro naturally
thoughtful. The troubles or
ditliculties or dangers that are
encountered by others make u
strong appeal to them a ml their
first thought is to give all the
help they can. Nor are their
sympathies stirred alone by the
tribulations of human beings;
birds ami animals coming in for
their share.
These rejections are suggested
by two things tli it may be seen
in Kugene. In one lawn a bowl
of water, fed by a pipe, h is been
placed high up on a tree, so that
the birds may come and drink
and bathe and still be safe from
marauding cats. The owner of
the lawn was prompted to erect
this aerial bath by seeing a cat
stalking the birds that came to
drink at a pan placed under a
hydrant.
At another home a table has
been erected in the bac k yard,
and upon this crumbs are
spread for the birds, so that the
birds may come and eat when
ever they will, ami still be free
from danger. And the birds
appreciate the kindly act. They
come in numbers every day.
These little acts of thought
fulness refute the cynical state
ments that are so often made to
the effect that this is a world
whose principal business is to
look out for Number One. They
prove that the rights of others
even though the others be only
birds are still considered and
looked out for.
If our moral teachings are
sound, these kindly little acts
will be found charged up to the
credit of the doers when the
final accounts are balanced.

News that Japan wants a re
newal of the five years arbitra
tion treaty with the United
states indicates there is little
danger of hostilities between the
two nations. Seemingly the
Japanese are no more anxious
for war than are Americans and
they will not take the California
anti-alien land law as a deadly
insult. It shows the Japanese
are more sagacious than they
are represented by military
writers. Either that or else
they have inside information
