It is always well to aim high
in any legitimate endeavor, but
the fellows who are boosting for
a state appropriation o f $500,-
000 for showing off Oregon at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition
have the sights raised at too
great an elevation. The legisla­
ture will not make an appropria­
tion for so large a sum, but if it
should, it would be turned down
by the people by a referendum
vote. Half that amount would
suffice for a splendid exhibition
o f Oregon products and the state
could be well represented by the
economical expenditure o f $200,
000.
The country is appalled at the
news of the death of Captain
Robert F. Scott and four of his
associates, who died of cold and
hunger while on the return trip
'from the South Pole, which they
succeeded in reaching onjanuary
18, 1912. The records of the
party w e r e recovered, which
show that the Pole was reached
on the above date and that they
located the tent and records left
by Captain Ronald Amundsen
when he quit the Pole on Decem­
ber 17, 1911. The bodies o f the
dead men were found within 11
miles of a supply depot which
they were unable to reach. The
last written note made by the
brave Captain was an appeal

be as much a matter-of-course in
the family as the Bible or- the

Even that is not enough; the
knowledge t h a t i t contains

T q read a first-aid book care­

to take and what not to take
should be committed to memory,

rehearsed till they are as familiar
as birthdays. Many o f the little
emergencies o f life call only for
intelligent home treatment. Oth­
ers demand the immediate pres­
ence o f a doctor. The chief value
of first-aid knowledge is to be
able to decide correctly to which
