Just at present some of us are interested in watching the progress of grafts and buds to see whether they have made a go of it or not. We talk about the marvels of radio and wireless but is there anything more wonderful than the way a tree assim ilates its natural foods and produces a harvest? Consider a grafted branch of cherry or apple. It feeds from the same sap as the rest of the tree and treats it with the same air and sunlight. Yet it may bud and blossom two weeks after the rest of the tree has gone through the same process and its fruit differs in size, color, texture and acid or sugar con tent. Some of the most wonderful imngs in nature are the common things around us. I he benefits of curbing in street work is brought out by the improved appearance of East Mam street which has taken place within the past two or three years. It has taken little time to do it but gradually the parking places have been filled in and trimmed. The street is much im proved in appearance. With rows of shade trees it will be admired by all who pass along. lne picturesque grand canyon which has as the legacy of the I. & iu. ranroaa, aeiighted visitors, on East Jackson, has lost considerable of its scenic attractions recently. The sides have been plowed in and other efforts made to tame it into the usefulness we commonly associate with plain streets. Our section regrets to learn that it is about to lose Neighbor Gooding, who has been elected to manage the Independence high school. Neigh bor Gooding has been a shining orna ment as a neighbor, is thoughtful and enterprising and as a school man has handled his work shrewdly and effect ively. He has been particularly strong in financial management and will leave the school in a healthy condition in all departments. We appreciate the progress the board of education has made in reducing the indebtedness of the district, an enter prise for which they deserve the hearty commendation of the taxpay ers, but are sorry they could not figure out some way to retain the services of Neighbor Gooding. Exclusive of the tuvestiut'iits nuulu during 1823. which were not IneluiliKl tu the capital account, the rate of r turn trout oimratlons of tho Pacific Telephone A Telegraph company dur ing the year was -llKtuly more thiin 4 per cent. This was sot out In the kddumI report ot the corporation filed tn the offices ot tbe public service commission. Th not Income ot the corporation tor the year was f 5,967, (98.27, and tho cnpttnl Investment H0,42.73.38. The sympathy of all has been with Neighbor Cole and family in their trouble and all rejoice that their small son is getting the better of his injuries. The official who spends the people's money should know by painful experience how this mon ey is provided. To such a person the word "Economy" is not merely a cam paign slogan but an inherent principle. A. R. CADLE Farmer, taxpayer and candi date for Sheriff. SI (UJKSTIONS KOK t l.KW-l l' WKKK Let's have our rubbish In a con spicuous place, to be hauled awuy. Po you know thut the tin cans are good fertilizers for trees and shrubs? Just mnsh them ami bury them around the roots of your cherry trees or rose bushes. Sweep the walks and wash off the chalk marks. Teach the children not to be "goops" who mark up the walks and buildings. Eradicate old weeds and sweet briar bushes along the pavements. Pick up all rubbish, paper, etc., and burn it. Clean up attics and cellars and lessen your fire hazazrd. Trim up your parking. The grass will be much easier to cut now than a month from now. Now is the time for tho merchants who promised to jiut out paper con tainers to redeem their pledges. Now for A long pull, A strong pull, A pull altogether. Ye "Joy riders" journey through the little city of Lebanon, not far dis tant, and see what the true spirit of Civic Pride has done there. So clean, so beautiful everywhere. To some extent the idea is abroad that the Civic club is an exclusive affair for a favored few. This is a great mistake. The object and aim of all its activities is for the greatest good to the greatest number, which means the whole community. That wemay have a, clean, attractive home city is the aim. Attractive to our selves, and to the sometimes guest and passer-by. Lend us your aid, your cooperation, your good will. mm They Never Did Croesus never looked for a gas leak with a match. Moses never was perplexed about finding a parking place. Helen of Troy never was bothered about buying a battery for her radio set. Marco Polo never had a party line. The best he could get was a clothes line. Alexander the Great never had to think about putting on chains or trusting to non-skid tires. Tut-ankh-Amen never worried about his income tax return. Plato never considered the possibil ity of typhoid germs in unchlorinat ed water supply. The Queen of Sheba never ponder ed the fact that the electricity which browns toast sometimes passes over a wire coated with ice and the cur rent never melts the ice. All Out of Sorts?

Thousands have found new health and strength by helping the weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills a stimulant diuretic. inis case is one of many in this locality. Mrs. C. F. Hotchkiss, 404 N. 15th St., Corvallis, Ore., says: "I often had dull backaches and felt tired and run down and my kidneys didn't act right. I used Doan s Pills and they soon corrected the trouble, relieving the backache and putting my kid neys in good order." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Pills the same that Mrs. Hotchkiss had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 1 1 i'r : B'l Coming!
