' OREGON' WEATHER ' ' Tonight and "Tuesday fair; -f variable winds. : . rXCLE SAM AND THE PROS PECTOR. Every days brings fresh proof of the need for the establishment of the very first of those mining experi ment stations by the federal govern ment at Grants Pass. Surrounding this city are many mining districts that naturally drain into it, and the wonders of those districts axe only just now being realized. One miner who has in years past put in much effort to rid his placer gold of the white particles that, because they were even heavier than gold, were difficult to eliminate, states that he could have made much greater profits bad there been some one to tell him that he was discarding valuable pla tinum. In the earlier days the value of platinum was not recognized by our miners and prospectors. Only within the past few days has the dis covery of tungsten opened another field to the prospector, and it is probable that many a prospector has passed up fortune because he did not recognize in the pinkish mineral a metal of value. There is no field in all the west so fertile for the min eral investigator as southern Ore gon. The mining, man has been the most neglected by the federal au thorities of any of the developers of our natural resources. It is time that Uncle Sam gave him a lift. industry of , beet growing nereatter. The seeder is being used on the va rious tracts by Verne Heibig, Wnd Is said to be doing most satisfactory work. .According to newspaper re ports, Sutherltn Is to get a Sugar fac tory next year, 'large tracts la the vicinity of that city and In Coles Valley having been - signed up for beet culture. "Let 'er twist," Any thing that can be grown at a profit and find ready cash market will be a i God-send. We have too much of that kind of agriculture In Douglas county where the farmer raises feed to feed bis team next year, world without end. The pioneers in the broccoli in dustry are starting a new current In the right direction. Learn to pro duce something that will sell at a profit. It you do fairly well the first year, you can learn better how next year, and get these farms with the best land in the world and the finest climate hanging over them to pay. If you can make more money raising broccoli, sugar beets and prunes than you can hay and grain, don't be a piker. Do the work, get the money and buy the hay and grain from someone else. Riddle Tribune. XEW DEAL IN FARMING. The planting of sugar beet seed goes merrily on in this locality and some of the best land in the valley is being carefully prepared and seeded to this crop, which is to he given a fair trial this year to determine the possibilities of making a commercial Those Zeppelin "raids over Eng land serve to keep the people of the British isles awake to the fact that there is a war in France. The work of the Zeppelin has not accomplish ed much in a military way, but it has brought the war home to many Britons, and has made the position of the slacker less of a sinecure. Spring time is fly time, and the citizen should remember that a. fly in time saves nine million. Losing a Situation. In the American Magazine is an arti cle oa getting and holding a Job by Hugh 8. Fullerton. In which be says to , men who have been discharged from their positions: "Don't try to cell me. 'Some one had it in for me,' or. Tbe boss didn't like me.' or that So-and-so 'bnd a pulL' If you are an office man it cost the firm from; $200 to $250 to find out you would not do. and If yon are a shop worker it cost about $t And It will lost tbe firm that much more to try ut each person until it finds one that Dts and cau bold the Job. No matter whether It likes you or not, no firm or corporation wants to throw away SCO or $200 in time and money The firm wanted to hire you and was disappointed because It could not. Every one was ihi111iik for you to mukc gnud' and was disappointed when von failed..

Leadership In a Demooraoy. There was a day when tbe absolute monarch seemed the Ideal of human greatness. The nsmes of such are scattered throughout time. But their age has vanished. The masses below bave surged to the surfacethey will not be denied. . Tbe age before us Is the ago of tbe free end asplrtng many. In such an age the strong man ta tbe leader of thought. He wins following by tbe constraint of a powerful mlud and a virile character lie appeal to reason and to the hither emotions, lie looks far Into the future, and bis con structive Imagination Is a Ions through which the people tuny nee clearly things as tbey are and as they are to be. His qualities must be higher than those of a despot . The freely followed leader of a free people Is greater far than emperor or king. narry Pratt Judson, President of tbe University of Chicago. Insect Life. In si report to the Smithsonian Insti tution James Buckland says few per sons realise how enormous is tbe num ber ot Insect species or bow amazing la their power ot multiplication. , Tbe number of insect species Is greater by far than that of tbe species pf all oth er living creatures combined. Although 800,000 have been described, probably twice that number remain to be exam ined. Virtually all living animals, as well as most pluuts, supply food for these Incomputable hordes. The fe cundity of certain insect forms Is as tounding. Professor Riley once com puted that tbe progeny of the hop aphis, which sees thirteen generations bora to It In a single year, would, if unchecked to the end of the twelfth generation, multiply to the Inconceiv able number of ten sextlllions of Indi viduals. Subtle Advertising. A successful hotel manager pointed to the advertisement of a hotel at a fashionable resort This advertise ment read: "Special rates to single men." "The proprietor of that hotel." said he. "deserves to sui-reed He lays In hl advertisement, a subtle trap for mother with marriageable dn. lighter. They rend the advertisement, and they t-oitoliide that, given lower rate at this hotel, single men win Ih plentiful They therefore decide that there Is tbe place undoubtedly to take their dantib lew" ' - Then, laucbliiu. he concluded: "These mothers quite correctly be lieve that a 'fur. a their daughters' chance of nmtrtmonr sre concerned the more the marryer."-Exchange.
