Ye can scarce pick up a paper An' Its "Poet's Cornor" greet, 'Cept ye'll see a pretty poem 'Bout the mother, saintly, sweet; But you'll have a time a-searchln', Eyes will be er-aehln' bad, Ere ye'll overtake a poem At this time for pore ole dad, No, it Isn't wilfull in 'em, Them that write of mother dear, That there's never notice taken Of her old man settln' near. No, it's never meant to slight him, But It looks a little sad All the bouquets made for mother, Not a bloom for pore ole dad. True, our mother watched above us Till her dear old eyes would ache, But ole dad he humped to feed us Till his back would nearly break; Mother crooned above the cradle. Gave devotion, all she had. Still that wasn't any circus At this time for pore ole dad! Do not take one line from mother When you write the soul-sweet song, But If there's a word for father Now and then it won't be wrong. Poor old soul! He's bent and wrin kled, An' I know 'twould make him glad If while you are praising mother Somethln's said for pore ole dad. tame? It will not. It the teacher knows his business. The common fallacies about loyalty may well be discussed on flag day. It can be shown that thieves may be loyal to each other, that sheer bigotry and unwillingness to consider another party's or another nation's point of view Is often mistaken for loyalty. Loving uuo'b bi oilier buUur than any one else in the world does not Imply being blind to his faults. The test of the highest loyalty is hard work to make perfect what one loves, not in a pig-headed Insistence that It Is perfect." OUR NATIONAL HYMNS SHOULD BE REVISED JOB PRINTING NEATLY DONE AT THE COURIER OfFICE .117 l()Hk lllrig., Portland, Ore. Lucia Ames Mead, a member of the American School Peace League of Boston, believes the children should be taught less about the American flag and more about how they can show allegiance to the flag. "Far too much attention has been given of late," she says, "to the sym- ! bol of our nation and far too little to the Idea for which the symbol stands." She thinks there is a great deal In history as It Is taught In the schools that needs correction. She believes pupils should be given to understand that the United States does not possess the only red, white and blue flag and that teachers should remind students that the "Star Spangled Banner" is no more the national air of Americans than is "My Country, 'Tls of Thee," which she says, "has a much better scope and Is decidedly better verse." Con tinulng, she asserts: "The first song (the "Star Spangled Banner"), written In the war of 1812, deals only with that aspect of the flag which associates It with our deeds during a small fr.ic I tlon of our country's history as, o lof one hundred and twenty years, e I have been at war only ten years. It i thrills one to think of 'the rockets , red glare, the bombs bursting in air; i but a truly national anthem should deal with more enduring and unlvers j nl phases of national life. The tench er will do well to correct the filse 1 Impression made by the lines 'Then conquer we must, when our cause It Is Just.' Nothing Is more untrue to history. The conqueror wins in con tests of brute force because he has more men or money or better g in not because his cause Is Just. Th notion that victory Implies a Just cause Is a medieval superstition hand ed down from the period, Illustrated In 'Lohengrin,' when duelists foiiKht ( to settle the question of Innorenre of a third person. Do not let the child be deceived and Interpret his tory falsely. Finite force never de cides Justice between nation's any more than a bully's blow In the school yard settles the question whether the weaker whom he pum mels Is wronc or not. "Care must be taken In selection of soncs, for ns yet therp Is n paucity of those which combine blub patriot ism with the ratchlna: melody and stlnine rhythm so much to bo de sired. What could be more seductive or mischievous than the following verses taken from those pent out by more than one state for programs for srhools on Flat; day or Memorial day?

Does, tliU seem The National Twins. The Woman's National Dally says: "Uncle Sam could have paid no greater tribute to Theodore Roose velt and his favorite bird, the stork, than by announcing, on the very day of the colonel's return to this coun try, the birth of twins in the great family of states. These sturdy young sters, Arizona and New Mexico, com' Dlete the domestic circle. With their entry another pledge has been re deemed and a new political factor has been injected. The enabling act provides that the Constitutions shall be agreed upon and ratified and that the newcomers shall be enrolled as sovereign states by October, 1912, that the electoral votes may be count ed in the choice of president and vice-president. "The entry of these new states and the passing of the territorial forms of government mark an Important epoch In the commercial and Industrial growth of the great southwest. It Is fair to predict that the development along all lines will be much more rapid In the future than it has been in the past. Capital and Immigration will be attracted much more easily now that It is known that the people of these sections are to be self-gov erning. The history of every new state Justifies the hope." Droughts in Northwest. One of the most serious droughts In the history of the weather bureau at Washington has been experienced In the corn and .wheat belt In Minne sota and North and South Dakota this spring. Since March 1 the pre cipitation in the principal points has varied from 31 to 57 per cent of the normal. With the small percentage of rainfall comes the handicap of ex tremely high temperature. As a re sult the ground is said to bo practic ally parched. Mlnot, N. D., wires that unless the scorching winds un der a bleaching sun and temperature at 108 let up within the next 24 hours fully 50 per cent of crops in Northwestern North Dakota and east ern Montana will be damaged beyond all possible recoveiy. From Devils Lake, N. D., reports come that even with good rains immediately not more than half an average crop can be hoped for. The temperature has eached 110 degroes. Mr. Bryan's Wit. Let no one say that American hum or Is not appreciated In England Here Is proof from the Westminster Gazette: "A mot of Mr. Bryan's is worth recording now that the presence of Commander Peary among us has re vived the Interest In Arctic explora tlon. The democratic leader had just returned home from a long tour in South America. . During his journey the news was brought him of the al leged discovery of the north pole by Dr. Cook, who was reported to be a democrat In politics, and of the denl al of Dr. Cook's claims by Command er Peary. Mr. Bryan declined to ex press an opinion on the controversy between the two explorers. He was willing to state, however, as a goner al proposition, that he thought democrat would be more likely to dis cover the pole than a republican, In asmuch as the democrats had been out In the cold a long time and had got used to It." BEST HAIR TOXIC Age of Horses. A good authority on horses says that the grey will live the longest and that roans come next in order. Dlacks seldom live to be over 20, and creams rarely live more than ten or fifteen years. All Over America, the News of the Marvelous Dandruff Cures of Parisian Sago Has Spread. A few years ago there was intro duced into America a cure for dand ruff, falling hair and all scalp dis eases. News of the quick action of this wonderful Invlgorator spread rapidly. And today without any sensational or untrue advertising, Parisian Sage Is used extensively in almost every town in America. And what has pro duced this great demand? Simply this: Parisian Sage does just what we are telling the readers of the Courier It will do. We claim, and we back our claim with C. H. Demaray's money back guarantee, that Parisian Sage it the most invigorating and rejuvenating hair tonic. It cures dandruff, stops falling hair and Itching scalp; it makes the hair grow strong and vig orous, yet soft and lustrous. It is the only hair dressing that reaches the root bulb of the hair and destroys the dandruff germ. And to the women who are read ing this Btmple statement of fact, we want to say that Parisian Sage works wonders with women's hair. It will turn dull, harsh and faded hair Into beautiful, radiant and lustrous hair In a few days, and Is the most pleas ant and satisfying dressing any wom an ever used. Druggists everywhere and C. H. Domaray sell Parisian Sage for 50o a larRO bottle.

We recently heard of a poultry man who fastened several traps on posts and stumps near his poultry yard for the purpose of catching hawks. The traps worked day and night, and It was not long until he had cauKht five hawks, an owl and a polecat. Hawks huve a habit of Hunt on a post or tree to survey the field before swooping down on their prey. Farmers' Mall and Breeze. Terrible Kluxk to a .Mother.
