Winegar, Proprietor Read your own Herald 2fj;r One of the results that have toY lowed in the wakTe of the war is the deluxe of things Knglish which is particularly noticeable in the Ian- gunge used in conversation. We are ever on- the lookout for start' linK and original expressions in slung and a whole treasury of new wfTrds has been opened up to us by the co-mingling of our young men with the young men of England. Doubtless ti e Eiime thing reversed, is to be noted, over there. At ar.y rate English slang is becoming root- id in America, finding its way first in the stores of the popular maga zines where the exrmsitns "jolly well", "llapper", "blighter", "bal ly", "I uek up" "chap", etc., are frequently met with. The old En glish btundby "bloody" has not yet appeared but can not be staved off much longer. Portland's victory in securing a differential alantagein the rate to Eastern Oregon and Washington over the ocean ports of the north west has set up the people of that city considerably and its newspapers have commented thereon in jubilant manner. The advantage in freight rates thus given Portland is some thing which it well deserves through the advantage nature his given it of location. It stands to reason tint a haul a hundred miles longer and over mountain grades should not 1 e entitled to a rate as cheap as the shorter haul and down the level grades n ade possible by the banks of the Columbia. The advantage thus enjoyed by Portland is an advantage on the other end of the line by offering a better market fur products and both the c'ty and the country it serves should flourish together. The fact that a year ago this week we were enjoying our spell of Manitoba weather is bound to awaken a shiver or two by way of recollection. The people who profited by the little boom in the price of whe last week were the people who knew from whence the price came and whither it was going. Monmouth people must awaken to the fact that the new Baptist church has in it the possibilities of a fine community service and in order to gain its advantages shoujd take proper steps. The proffer of the building to the community will be fruitless unless the community accepts it in the same spirit the proffer is made and proceeds to put it to use. For .instance, what would be more applopriate for community building than using it as a place for community dinners when the men and women of the com munity get together for boosting the common good. 0 Our old friend, the Backwoods Bard, has turned up again this week and we'give you his latest. THE SOUTH WIND Ah, South Wind, roaming from that distant dreamland Of spicy isles and scented sum mer seas,' You've found me here beneath this northern oak tree, And brought your message, so, now what's your fees? , Full well I know the price, and 'tis dear one A crystal tear of longing or regret; A heart crammed chest-like full of faded memories, One ought not keep but can't for sake them yet. You whisper to me with your mys tic murmurings, I needs must dream to catch your cautious lines, A hail perhaps from far forgotten boyhood, An echo of some other summer time. Yorj bring me phrases from the dear departed Who've gone we think beyond our Earthly ken, Yet I can hstr their old familiar voicea In snatches of some old time songs again. You bring me'pictureg of forgotten faces, " Midst time blurred scenes that past once more will lend, Their eyes are always smiling with the question, "Have you forgotten me who was your friend?" Aye South Wind bring your message and I'll pay you Though high the charge and high er as time flies, My heart is cleaner when you've blown around it And strong again are strained and failing ties.
