SCATTERING SUNSHINE It's the little things that count in this life, words of cheer, a little help here and there, words of advice to the depressed and despondent, each given with a mile, tending to stipulate tq greater endeavor and new views of things generally. People who consider the welfare of others and who are not afraid to make a personal sacrifice for the good of mankind are the sunshine scatterers. Such a one is Marian Miller, whose human interest stories in the Oregonian are read with in terest by all. Miss Miller views things from a human standpoint; she seems to be imbued with a desire to help all; her words of advice to the yonng are to the point and carry with them a de sire for moral uplift beautiful in its tenor. Many have been bene fited, in a substantial manner, by the appeals she has printed in her columns, many a family has been reconciled when on the verge of breaking up by her counsel, and many a grieving heart has been quieted by the Oregonian's special columnist. Mis3 Miller should be called "Little Sunshine," for through her writing and personal appeals more real good is being done to helpless and deserving people rljf Bread Cakes Pastries Woodcock Bros. Milling Co. MAUPIN, - OREGON than by any uplift society in the whole state of Oregon. May her Rood work continue. We are satisfied the lady is mak ing a record for her;lf which will enhance her happiness in the hereafter and will stand as a monument for women of her kind Ions: after she has answered the final summons. Long may she be with us. RED FLANNEL DAYS "Women of the red flannel days were more sensibly dressed than the women of today," de olares a Maupin merchant But he doesn't want his name men tioned for obvious reasons. "In those days," he declares' "we used to sell 20 yards of silk for one dres3. Now a woman buys three yards and jconsiders that itiore tban enough- Then there 1 were only three 'or four shade3 of silk; now there are hundreds. The men of 50 years ago were superstitious in the matter of what they wore. In winter it had to be red flannel underwear and only a few people of the richer class could be induced to wear white merino. Today, manufacturers tell us, there are 4800 different articles of women's underclothing had 1,800 differ ent kinds and shades of stock ings, bu; in tne matter 01 gen uine comfort and happiness the old red flannel days had it all over the age in which we now live.

And other saps will be leaving campfires burning where they can do the most harm. Ford prices have again been cut.
