Confidence in Self
' Man's Biggest Asset
Life is nn island, entirely surrounded
by risks, losses, troubles, hardships and
misadventures of all sorts.
Most men go to pieces when they
have had a few beatings. They wilt.
They fade away. They crawl Into a
safe little corner and hide, while the
great rough tide of glorious life rushes
past them.
The fact Is that defeat Is the normal
thing in this haphazard little world,
and victory comes but seldom. Every
victory, usually, is the result of a long
series of defeats.
A man must have faith in himself
and In what he Is trying to do. He
must say: "I can." He must back
himself to win. He must bet on him
self. He must have faith in the peo
ple he works with. He must believe
In his team. He must see the better
side of his co-workers and not think
that his own point of view Is the only
right one. " ;
He must have faith In those grer.t
principles that make us superior to the
animals of the forest to Truth, Hon
esty, Sympathy, Justice, Progress.

Duchess of Fontanges
Marie Angellque. duchess of Fon
tanges, was the successor to Mme.
Mwntespan In the-fnvor of Louis XIV.
"She was beautiful" as an angel, but
silly as a goose," Mid Abbe Cholsl of
her. She, nevertheless, captivated the
affections of Louis XIV, who was tired
of Mme. de Montespan.
As goon as she had discovered the
passion she had Inspired in the king,
she became haughty and extravagant,
spending at times as much as 100,000
crowns a month. She became the gen
eral dispenser of the king's favors and
the model of fashion. She was made
a duchess by the king, but did not long
enjoy the rank, since she died at the
age of twenty. In the abley of Port
Royal, at Paris. Chicago Journal.
Census Not Popular
Among Many Peoples
Superstition among natives in the
Kenya colony, In Africa, has caused
census takers no end of trouble. The
natives believe It Is unlucky to count
themselves or their wives when the
official enumeration is taken.
In other countries census taking has
sometimes presented similar difficul
ties, says Tit-Bits. The first Chinese
census showed a total population of
28,000,000. It was taken to serve as
a basis for the imposition of a poll tax.
Several years later another census was
taken to organize relief during a fam
ine. The population had grown to.
105,000,000.
Infinite trouble Is taken In the prep
aration of the Indian census, but one
story told by a British administrator
shows there .also the way of the cen
sus taker Is difficult On one occasion
be had to point out to a native enu
merator some discrepancy In his fig
ures. "But surely," protested the enu
merator, "your honor can supply
naughts at discretion?"
South Carolinian Was
First American Doctor
The first native of English-speaking
America to receive the degree of Doc
tor of Medicine was William Bull, who
died In London, England, about 134
years ago.
He was born in South Carolina In
1710, and In his early manhood went
to Europe to study medicine, receiving
his M. D. degree at Leyden. He prac
ticed his profession with considerable
success in his native colony, and in
764 became lieutenant governor of
South Carolina, n position he retnined
until the Revolution. As Doctor Bull
remained a loyalist, he, In 1782, ac
companied the British troops to Eng
land after their defeat by the Conti
nental army under General Washing
ton. Doctor Bull resided in England dur
ing the remainder of his life.
ORGANIZING FOR LAND
SETTLEMENT IQREGON
The warp and the woof of a land
settlement fabric that takes in the
entire state of Oregon is now al
most woven and the four great sec
tions of the state, namely Eastern,
Central, Western and Southern Ore
gon, stand combined in a united ef
fort for a greater 1920, so far as
the development of idle and unoc
cupied lands are concerned.
Practically all of the western and
southern Counties of the state have
been organized, and the eastern and
central '-counties are in final process
of development.
The Land Settlement Department
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce,' actively affiliated with "the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce,
has devoted the past six weeks ' in
county organization work, in cooper
ation with the various local cham
bers. W. G. Ide, Manager, of the Oregon
State Chamber ot Commerce, who is
directing the activities of the Land
Settlemenfiwork,' has'spoken1 before a
number of county meetings, where
splendid results were obtained, and
Arthur Foster, Land Settlement
Field Representative, has practically
covered the whole state and .will con
tinue for the next ten or fifteen
days, at which time it is hoped to
have the entire organization of Ore
gon complete.
Those counties that have already
completed their land settlement com
mittees and have begun activities are
Klamath, Jackson, Josephine, Linn,
Benton, Polk, Clackamas, Yamhill,
and . Lane. All have appointed new
committees with the exception of
Lane, which will retain its old com
mittee! Each organization is divid
ed intp three groups, the listing, ap
praisal and follow-up committees.
The duty of the last named is to call
upon the new settlers make them
feel at home, and through them get
in ; touch with others who- would
like to come to Oregon to locate.
The counties that are now com
pleting their organizations are Lin
coln, Marion, Wasco, Hood River,
Washington and Columbia. Mr. Fos
ter will go to Central Oregon next
week and speak before the Chambers
of Commerce and Commercial clubs
of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson
counties. Baker, Union, Umatilla
and , the other counties in Eastern
Oregon have taken their first ' steps
for land settlement organization.
Mr. Ide states that the outlook for
land settlement work for 1926 is
very much brighter and better than
it has ever been and that he expects
this to be the banner year. Due to
the close cooperation ' between the
State Chamber and the various coun
ties, it is believed that a great many
more settlers will be brought to all
sections of the state. The inquiries
from people desiring to come to
Oregon are increasing daily in the
Land settlement Department. For the
past two weeks they have been av
eraging fifty a day. Many of these
people state that they expect to
come here to make their homes.
The tourist season is about to op
en and the Gateway offices will be
established again at both Ashland on'
the southern, and Ontario . on the
eastern boundary of the State.
Poets to Royalty
The office of the English poet lau
reate Is in the gift of the sovereign of
England, said to have been created
during the reign of Edward IV (1461
1483). The appellation Is derived from
a custom of the English universities,
which continued until 1512, of present
ing a laurel leaf to graduates in rhet
oric and versification the "king's lau
reate" being a graduated rhetorician
In the service of the king. It was for
merly the duty of the poet laureate to
write an ode on the birthday of the
king, but this custom has been discon
tinued since the reign of George III.
The first poet laureate, in the modern
sense, was Edmund Spenser, who was
granted a pension of 50 by Queen
Elizabeth In 1591. Ben Jonson was
the first to receive the office by formal
letters patent Kansas City Star.
Historic London Church
The Church of St. Michael, one of
Wren's churches, which has Just been
reopened after extensive renovations,
is one of the most historic churches In
London. It Is built on the site of that
erected by Dick Whittlngton, and In
which be was burled, but the original
was so entirely wiped out In the great
fire that no trace of Sir Richard Whit
tington's grave now remains. The
renovation scheme Included the paint
ing of the walls and celling, and the
moving of the heavy altar railing for
ward to form a choir screen. The rep
resentations of Moses and Aaron
found In all Wren's churches are In
this cane exquisite statues which for
merly mood on pedestals beside the
altar. They hnve now been accommo
dated In niches in the walls some few
feet above their original locaUuo.

Christian Martyrs
The . dates of the most violent
Christian persecutions under Roman
emperors were ns follows: Nero, 04
C8; Domltlnn, 95; Trajan, 100; Mar
cus, Aurellus, 100-177;. Septimus
Severus, 199-204; Maxlmus, 235-238;
Decliis, 250-252; Valerian, 258-200;
Aurelian, 275; Diocletian, 303-313
(the era of the martyrs). The reason
for Christian persecution according to
Roman historians, was not on account
of their religious beliefs so much
as by the Christian refusal to con
form to the state religion and na
tional law. Religion was an Integral
part of Roman law.
