MEN WHO LAUGH Stoiiee from the front in theee big days testify that onr aoldleri are fighting "like demons," and laugh lag demons at that Their seal for combat Is matched by their high spirits. They go Into battle eagerly. with song and jest They wield bay net and grenade with a laugh. They return shouting if they are unhurt and smiling if they are wounded. "The front," writes a eonrespon dent, "Is probably the most cheerful place on earth. Where shells fly and life Isn't worth a nickle, noth lag matters to anybody." Other nations, generally speaking. light grimly. Even Tommy, the most exuberant of our allies, Is somewhat sobered now. But the American, who has always what Kipling calls "the cynic devil in his blood," and what most of us call simply a een tense of humor, grows merry where othera grow gloomy. "I have heard more funny stories and more laughter among our men in the line In one night," says a veteran correspondent, "that I have heard la all the rest of the time I have been In Europe." It Is not flippancy, as our Sam- sales' heroic record attests. It is the night touch" of strong, confident men, who know exactly what they arc doing and how they are going to do It Their apparent frivolous- Bets Is the foam that covers a strong deep current It Is a by-product of tremendous energies In action. Beware of fighters who laugh. Our toys' laughter Is the death knell of Prusslanlsm. BIGGER AND BETTER TAXES Now congress has settled down to serious consideration of the taxation problem, there Is reason to hope that we shall have tax legislation worthy of the time and occasion. The pres ent Intention Is to rewrite the pres ent revenue act, doing away with Its confusions and Inequalities. There will be a tingle comprehensive and, let ns hope, intelligible law, Instead of one crude law superimposed on another to the perplexity and des pair of 'taxpayer and' tax collector alike) . ; . -! . . 'j'.: ' This simplification In Itself will fee a great gain If the work is well done. Still more Important Is the limlnatlon of oversights and Injus tices Inherent In the present system. .Nobody apparently it to be taxed Ask For DROMEDARY IMTK8 Buy WHKAT 8AYKH CRACK KRS more lightly, but those who hare heretofore escaped their due obllga-; tlon will be taxed more heavily. The S per cent surtax on certain of tamed Incomes will remain, and the rate on other Incomes will be leveled op with It In the case of unearned Incomet a still higher rate may be Imposed. Corporations that have escaped paying excess profit taxes through the device of overcap italization and a nominally low rate of Income will be taxed according to their earning! on actual investment. "Profiteering" In general will be handled without gloves; congress may tax war profits nearly as high at England, which collects SO per cent At much as SO or 90 per cent of our largest personal Incomet may be taken. Congress hat an unusual oppor tunity to do a big, statesmanlike Job. IU progress win be watched with In terest by a nation which la willing to pay any number of bllllona to win the war, provided the taxes are ap portioned wisely and equitably.

GREAT IDEA FAILED TO WORK Might Htve All Right But fer Unfortunate Happening Inventor Ceuld Not Fereeee. The poets tnd others, mainly other, have sting of the virtues and blessing of sleep. No class of men guards sleep is carefully as the doctors. Some one, with all the wise theories of tdvertlslng. decided to mnil his lit tle call for buslnesa to the medical men of Indlannpolls.

Result: The doctors of Indianapo lis were awakened about 1 a. m. to sign for bunch of printed matter.

Most. ; Economical Coffee Youcanbuy Ask your grocer ARE MUCH NEEDED ! The Country Club orchards uear I Merlin, have 15 acres of Loganuer jrlea from which a good crop will be sin to ripen during the early part of July and at least 100 pickers will bf needed, women and young folki And loganberry picking profitable and pleasant work, The wages paid for this season are the hlgheat ever offered for thlt kind of work. The berry vines are trelllsed on wires, ao there Is no need of much stooping tt In picking strawberries. The berry Held Is keep tt clean as a garden and everything It to be done to contribute to the comfort and pleasure of those who aid In the picking. Many of the pickers are arranging to ramp along the creek which tklrtt one tide of the berry Held. Others will live In the teveral houses which the company has thrown open and provided with cook-stoves, ttblet, wood, wtter and other conveniences. Beveral parties are arranging to club together and go out and re turn In an automobile to be furnish ed by one of the party, but the ex pense to be borne by all. A truck hat been engaged to carry those who must return to their hornet In the city etch evening. A very small charge It to be tsked for thlt truck trtnsportttlon, to be deducted from the etrnlngs of the severtl pickers. This Is said to be the largest lo ganberry Held In southorn Oregon, snd the women tnd young folks are much needed to Insure the saving of the berry crop. Those who csn ar range to spend two or three weeks In the berry field should pnone or write to J. P. Ferry at once address ing him at Merlin, or phoning him over OOO-P-J. Those who volunteer for this work will not only be assurred a fair pay ment for their services, but will en- Joy a pleasant outing, snd can feel that they are playing a very useful and patrlbtlo part In saving the berry crop, which Is so much needed to whet the appetite of the soldiers Wleasure. Of course we ire entitled to It And we should ttkt great paint to se cure the fullest measure of' It. Bo much msy be taken for granted; the Important queatlon Is, when and where kail we find pleasure? Sir Walter flag shot give hit opinion thtt business Is much more arousing than pleasure. I suppose he niesnt that man who la in love with hit work will get more real "fun" out of It than wis ever gath ered In so-called "places of amuse ment" Many of onr pleasures do little more for us than kill time. They do not kill care, for tt comes back again the next morning. He Is a wise man who more and more learnt to get hit tmnsement ont of tht serious work he Is doing. Then If he tskes an occa sional hour or dsy, for sport or the "passing show," he will come bsck to bis real task In life to find his resl en tertainment What finer art than that of having i good time In the thing which one has to do? Immensely wiser tnd more profoundly philosophies! than the practice of plsrtnlng for the good time afterward.
