THE BOYS FROM HOME
During this holiday season, as
never before in this country, va­
cant chairs may be seen at the
festal boards and thoughts turn
to the boys fh>m home. In the
various camps throughout this
country and in France young
boys are spending their first hol­
iday season away from the par­
ental roof, and doubtless many
o f them will unite in sentiment
with S. W. Gillilan in the follow­
ing lines:
I'v e dozens o f gifts from my friends
who have wealth.
I ’ve presents of silver and gold,
I ’ve treasures in colors and fabrics so
rare
Their value may never be told;
But one little package I prize even
more
Than bauble or gew gaw or tome.
And dose to my heart I shall bear it
for aye
The little remembrance from home.
N o matter what changes may visit my
life,
N o matter how fa r I may stray __
In dangerous bypaths that branch from
the road
That’s known as ‘the straight, nar­
row w a y .”
T h e love from the home nest that shel­
tered me first
Still follows me wherever I roam,
And that’s why I cling to this poor
little g ift—
The little remembrance from home.
**A trifle” you’d call it, no doubt, if you
knew
Just what she has sent roe; and yet
T o me it is priceless, because it pro­
claims
A love that can never forget.
A n d an, while my glad eyes brim over
with tears.
This prayer seeks the heaven’s blue
dome-,
"“ God bless the dear mother who thinks
every year
T o send a remembrance from home. ”
Sometime when the yuletide draws
cheerily nigh
T w ill bring me no visible sign
That mem’ry of me is alive in the heart
Whose blood kindles warmly in mine;
And yet, from the place she’s to rest
evermore
She’ll tenderly plead
with me,
“ Come!”
H e r love will be with me, and true to
the last,
She'll send a remembrance from
•home.

POOR LO NOT SO POOR
La, the poor Indian! He has
about vanished from sight But
he has vanished, not so much
from the earth, as into a higher
status, where we had not expect­
ed to find him so soon. Wallace
Lewy, an Indian, holds a seat in
the Maine legislature. One of
the^best sermons the editor ever
heard was preached by a full-
blooded Indian minister. An
Indian was champion rough rider
o f the world two years ago. The
brainiest football player we ever
saw on the field was an Indian
youth from Carlisle. We know
o f one district where an Indian
cleared $30,000 in wheat and he
owns the biggest wheat farm in
his country, We know a singer
who draws a packed house where-
ever he sings—he is an Indian.
There’s a kindly little lass on the
French battle front relieving by
her tender ministratiops the af­
fliction and suffering of her fel­
lows and she is a dark-skinned
g irl from the American Indians’
teepee land. Scores o f young
braves are shouldering arms for
Am erica—some o f them are offi-
Lo, the poor Indian.
ALASK A W AS SOME BAR
GAIN.
We bought Alaska from Russia
£0 years ago for $7,200,000, and
protesting senators said it was
extravagant, says the Spokes­
man-Review. What earthly need,
they demanded, could the Ameri
can people ever have for that
desolate and distant waste?
Well, the Alaska salmon catch
this year is valued at $40,000,000
by the fisheries bureau at Wash­
ington, and of itself, not to men­
tion other valuable fisheries in
Alaskan waters, will be a sub­
stantial contribution to the ra­
tioning o f the allied armies and
the nations supporting them.
Alaska copper is another great
aid, and the interior department
is taking steps to open up Alas­
ka’s immense deposits of coal.
Alaska gold mining has fallen
off, and a greater slump is pre­
dicted next year, due to the in­
ability to employ needed labor to
work the mines. But the world’s
gold supply is redundant now,
and that decline can be viewed
with equanimity.
The allied cause needs food,
copper, spruce and coal, and
thanks to Seward’s foresight, we
have a wonderful storehouse of
these commodities in our pictur­
esque and romantic land of the
north.
HOW PENSION HELPS
COLORED MAN
After Senator James E. W at­
son, of Indiana, had concluded
his address in a little town down
south he was escorted to the
only restaurant in the place by
the committee on entertainment.
The proprietor, strong for con­
servation, had only one kind of
meat to offer—pickled pig jowls.
‘ ‘This reminds me,” said the
chairman of the committee, after
numerous apologies bad been
made, “ ot a little story Several
days ago we were visited by a
severe windstorm which capsed
considerable damage in this
neighborhood. In addition to
several trees, several rods of
fence were blown down on my
place about three miles from
town. Meeting old Pete, the
colored man of all work _of our
town, I asked him to go out and
repair the fence.
“ There is no particular hurry
about it,” I told him, • “ but we
are going to butcher on Tuesday
and if you can be there on that
day we will give you the pig
jow ls.”
“ Mistah Charles,” said Pete
with an injured look on his face,
“ I sbo’ will help y o ’ all wid de
work but since I ’se got mv pen­
sion I eat furder back on de

GRADE COWS SELL FOR BIG PRICE
Mr. Dairyman, bow would you
like to sell your surplus cows for
$119 per? A. E. Westcott, of
Forest Grove, sold his grade
cows at auction last week in or­
der to make room for his pare
breds. The average for the entire
herd was $103.13, but the ten
cows that were daughters o f a
certain bull sold for an average
of $119. One brought $155, an­
other $135.
“ H ow did he do it?” do you
ask. By joining a test associa­
tion in 1911 and staying with it;
by getting the best bull to be
had, and by weeding oat all low
producers. Looks easy, doesn’t
it? Then why don’t you do it.

Big drive now on fo f a record

time box social staged by the
Newberg Branch Chapter o f the
American Red Cross on the even­

be given, featuring a darky quar­

numbers and patriotic selections
by grade pupils under the direc­

There will be practically no ex­
pense connected with the affair
and all the proceeds will be di­
rected to the Red Cross here to
purchase materials to furnish
comforts for our own Sammies.

RED HICE FOR PETS
In his collection in the federal
building, Stanley Jewett, of the
biological survey, has three red
tree mice. He brought them back
this morning from Curry county,
▼ery proud ot three adult speci­
mens o f a mouse family that is
practically extinct in North
America. On his trip into Curry
he met some boys who spoke of
having just such mice tor pets.
They caught them in trees, some
80 feet above the ground, where
they had their nests. Jewett sent
a couple of the youngsters aloft
to raid the nests. He stood at
the bottom and caught the mice
as they dropped. One he caught
single-handed as the little rascal
raced down the trunk of the tree.
They live, or did live rather, en­
tirely on fir tree leaves.—Pendle­
