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.
