what prophetic instinct such a name

A local historian argues, however,
that there was no thought o f 1918
and its events when the Bordelais
potter Hustin gave his wife’s name
Victoire to the cul-de-sac. Hailing
from Martinique, Mme. Victoire was
known to the town o f Bordeaux as
“ Victoire l’Americaine;” by the time
of the French revolution the street
itself- waa called “ Victoire-Ameri-
caine.”
Probably many a passerby in 1800
assumed that the Street of American
Victory had been so named to com
memorate the American war o f inde

Faith— in her official character—
is a white-winged seraph with
heaven-lifted eyes. But she some
times masquerades.
In one case she has for some years
been impersonating a very old man
who lives at one end of the city and
works at the other. Midway be
tween his home and his working
place is an institution for the poor.
Having passed his Bible limit and i
started on a new record, one m ig h t,
consider the long car ride something j
of a tax. But the man does not ride. 1
He walks, so that he may stop at
that midway place and drop a nickel
in a box labeled “ For the Poor.”
His reason is that the people in- j
side the institution pray for those j
who help them. And the old man
believes in prayer.
And this is faith.— Washington 1

Enlisting in the United States

in the reserve force, has won official
commendation for heroic action. On
January 27 last when the U. S. 8.
Kennedy was making a dock John B.
McGinley, storekeeper, third class,
U. S. N., missed his footing before
the ship was entirely made fis t and
fell overboard. He fell between the
boat and dock and, striking the rail
o f the lower deck on his way down,
was unconscious when he struck the
water. Petty promptly jumped over
board after his shipmate and
despite the awkward position of the
drowning man reached his side and
saved his life. Petty’ s mother, Mrs.

MONG our large circle of readers there
are a great many who are interested
directly or indirectly in fruit growing,
dairying and other branches o f farm
ing. All o f these naturally wish to
keep in close touch with agricultural activi
ties throughout the state; and to know about
any fight which is being waged for the meas
ures Oregon farmers want and against all
sorts o f schemes that are detrimental to the
people and agricultural interests o f this state.
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FARMER
whereby any farmer or fruit grower, who is
one o f our^egular subscribers and who is not
now a subscriber to THE OREGON F A R M E R
will be entitled to receive THE OREGON
FARMER in combination with this paper at
the same rate as for this paper alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or ex
tend their subscriptions as well as to all new
subscribers. I f you are interested directly or
indirectly in Oregon agriculture, do not miss
this unusuallopportunity, but send your order
in now.
THE OREGON; FARM ER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively to
the farming activitities and interests o f Ore
gon. It has a big organization gathering the
news o f importance to farmers, dairymen,
fruitgrowers, stock raisers and poultrymen:
and it has the backbone to attack wrongful
methods and combinations and bad legislation,
and support honest leaders and beneficial
measures. We are confident that our readers
will congratulate us on our being able to make
this splendid and attractive clubbing offer.
