The Koseborg Review of Saturday fays: The local land ofllce in re sponse to an inquiry fays that there are from 500 to ' CO flual proofs ou mun claims awaiting actiou. De lay has been due to lack ofcltncal assistance father thau to the Freei- dect s former order, thoogh a tir n ou some proofs was delayed to sosse ex- y t order. Many of these cases have been pending since 1904, out most or them have accomolated since the re opening of this effice, January s, i06, after a suspension of one ytar. ibe sospeniion resulted in a great accumulation of business and the local officers have never been fur nished sufficient help to clear np the work. Besides, there has been a great rush of applications here ever since the office re-opened. The ex pectation that the timber and stone act would be repealed caused a scram ble to make filings. Dniing the month ot February, 1J07, there were tiled 164 timber aud stone applica tions, to say nothing of homestead and scrip applications. The officers here are doing their best to clear up the work bnt are heavily handicapped. All clerks mnet be famished by the authorities at Washington from the civil service list and the supply seems scarce. All matter for this column is supplied by Hi Josephine County Woman's ( hris tian Temperance Union, Y. and L. T. L Branches. March 29, the Womans' Christian Temperance Union will observe the Red Letter Day in honor of Neal Dow."The Father of Prohibition." "the ladies of the Union wish all their friends to meet with them iu Lund & Peil hall and discuss the needed reforms and improvements in Grants Pass. Mrs. McFarland and Mrs. (Jrabam superintendents. Quarterly reports will be submitted by officers and superintendents of departments. The Mothers meeting held in the Newman M. E. elm rob parlors March 15 was attended by about 70. We are glad to note the increasing interest in our Mothers meetings. The object of these meetings is .thai the mothers of Grants Pass may be helped in solving the many problems that come to them in child training, by the discussion of aud exchanging of ideas and exper iences on these 'problems. "With God's greatest blessing motherhood comes womans greatest responsibilitychild-training." The special feature of the meeting was the address ou "Responsibilities of Father" by Rev. Clark Bower. Iu his ever phasing and forcefnl way lie showed that a father's responsi bility iu traiuing the ohildreu is oo eqnal with that of the mother. Following is, iu part, the address as given : RESPONSIBILITIES OF FA'IIIER The theme assirfued is jost a little odd for a mother's meeting and re minds one of the deacon's instruction to the new preacher to "give it to the Jews ;th(-re's uone for them here." New relationships always bring new duties. The fact that I live in a Com munity puts me under obligation to each man, woman, child iu it. They have a right to demand of me such conduct as shall advance the welfare of the people as a whole. The civil man can not do as he pleases unless his pleasure is to help, not harm, to bless not blight. This is s:ill more true of marriagn. formim- hniid ill hnd with its iovs are louud its obligations. Man aud woman must both get, this idea and live by it. The making of a home j brings the duty of leaving out that j which might not in itsMf be w rmig. j Neither husband nor wife has the right to spend all the evenings away, nor to j wishes yet am 1 with it W.

She needs money sense, and hat a right to the privilege of some cents to spend. Second, the duty of discipline. How many mothers fiud the father no help, but a positive hindrance in the twining and control of the children. Fathers are snch cowards that they fesr a conflict and place the burden j on the "weaker vessel." Father aud ...inner siue oy eiae, one, lu this duty of parenthood get better results with less strain. Third, the duty of companionship. Families ought to have definite Unit's for lamilv life. Industrial condition sometimes make this well nigh im possible by sending a man to his toil before the childen are awake and allowing his return only after slumber has claimed them at night But each father should do his best. Conditions are changing for the better in this respect Sunday should be a wonderfully important day for keeping np home companionship. The church is a great home mbker and helper. One of the most beauti ful sights at the house of God is to see father, mother aud childreu silting together there. It may be need as a wouderful tie to bind the home to gether. The whole day should be one of sweet fellowship in these thingB which make for the higher life. Each parent must be a suitable ideal to his child and mould the little one by conta:t. Now in all this one idea rules. That is the perfect oneness of the home. No obligation rests upon one parent alone. Help one another. The jonruey through life should be made hand in hand as yon stood when making your marriage vows. This is the dnty of fathers and mothers as well.

"Made him good In Ids manners." "Did him a good deal of good In his character und disposition." These are typical of many expres sions used by parents who felt that tliclr boys were through the play school benefited rather than Injured by the lung vacation. They are by no means exhaustive of what might be said lu summary of the value of playgrounds for country children, but they certainly will pr ive suggestive to those who are i ' necrnod about the children of the streets of our countrv towns.
