With Joy that's abiding I take my wife riding; she climbs in the barrow, I wheel her around; and motorists guy me while Joy-rldlng by me, but little I care for their .laughter and sound. J My good old wheelbarrow goes -straight as an arrow, I push it (before me with Jubilant feet; what ever 'twas made for, it's mine 'and it's paid for, and so I don't envy the autos I meet I'd rather go wheeling my bar row and feeling my raiment grow moist with a rich, honest we'at, than ride In a carriage like groom :to his marriage, and have the sad .knowledge that I was in debt. Of all the world's curses there's nothing that worse is than going In debt for the tilings we don't need; so, blithe as a sparrow I -push my wheelbarrow keep tab on my motions, get onto my speed! Walt Mason. , THE AWAKENING During the days of the various Lib erty Bond drives- there was much useful , propaganda disseminated to ncourage thrift in aid of the loan. There is no question but what it did much good and broughtthome to many in various walks of lite the Impor tance of observing the most vital eco nomic principle In this world of ours. "The thrilling impulse of patriotism no' ioubt contributed in a large meas ure to swelling the tide of money savers who had never responded to the stimulus of usual necessity. But xith the ending of the war much of 5se good resolution faded away. The need of expressed loyalty to country no longer served to bolster up rigid "adherence to the principle of thrift. Thousands of wage-earners espec ially in the great industrial centers wlicr fn the Beginning were attracted ' Vy the bonds as a profitable invest ment, have grown tired of waiting for the safe -and sure returns and dumped their bonds or their equities 'in them upon the market at any price unscrupulous speculators saw fit to offer. It is the same old story, grown almost tragic with Its unvarying con text, that marks the man who had the discernment to grasp a good thing tut lacked the backbone to stick to 'It It was the first step on the path to fortune, but as the one step did aoC- reach the coveted goal, they stepped back Into the rut of former ; things. Never In the history of this coun try, was there ever Inaugurated such am eia of high wages as that which fcar prevailed during the past two years or more. And never has there leen such a reign ot reckless spend mc as that which haB marked the Kotrrso of hundreds of thousands of workmen during tho same period. In the Pacific Northwest, perhaps the most notable examples of this folly vere a majority of those who secured employment in the shipyards at un precedented high wages. In many in stances the workmen bought their own autos that they might ride to the icene of their labors. Tho spending yerm also Inoculated the wives and daughters, pf these -workmen and atUreB carrying women's wear reaped ir rich harvest. In selling all manner of' expensive finery. "Lolling in tho lap of luxury was tho order of the day, Now the day is spent, also, and down at tho bottom of the cup lie the bit ter dregs of folly. As thousands woro discharged from their lucrative Jobs, many or them returned to tho smaller cities in search of employment nearly all are renniiess or' nearly so. They had tomdehay while the sun shone but ffiey did not hang on to tho hay. Tho moral is so obvious that even tho most Indirforont can boo It. (Tho gaunt Bpectro of want will over staro In tho faco of tho man who persists In buylns tho things ho can do with out. Self-denial Is n hard row to hoo until one becomes usod to It, but lack of provlston against tho rainy day and helpless .old ago Is Intlnltolj' harder, and you novor got used to It. For n great majority ot us, It Is hot too lato to mako tho start some way and somehow. Comfort and content Is waiting for tho man who makes small begin nings in saving and persists until ne cessity no longer requires It. SALVAGING Ocrmnn newspaper, paying trl buto to tho American army of occu pation, said: 'Tho generosity of tho Americans, Is spoiling our children." Dy God, they must be teaching 'em o bo human. Now that' serums have proved un availing; medicine and nostrums in adequate; bans useless because they paralyze business; masks Inconven ient and doctors admitting their In ability to cope with tho influenza opl denilc, we would suggest that tho Governor of "our great common wealth" set apart a day of prayer and Intercession for deliverance from. the scourge, and urge every man and woman to get down on their knees on that day In the presence of tho Great Physician and Justify their Faith beforo the whole world. If any atheist, infidel, heathen or whntnot, has any better remedy, let him trot It out and show himself o be of some uso in this stricken world. By the time the War Department completes the casualty list of the war that ended last year, it will be time print the names of the surviving veterans who will die of old age. No oat hay in town, none obtainable, and farmers clamoring for It Moral put a few hundred unemployed to work breaking ground for a real crop next year. KEEP UP YOUR INSURANCE Treaiury Department Urges Dis charged Soldiers to Retain Gov ernment Protection. The Treasury department has sent out an appeal through the newspapers o all discharged soldiers and sailors ;o hold fast to their Government In surance for reasons specifically set forth in the communication, which .cads as follows: December 4, 1918. To the Soldiers and Sailors of Amer ica: " Approximately four million officers and men of the Army and Navy are now insured with the United States Government for a grand total of al most thirty-seven billion dollars. You owo It to yourself and. to your family to hold on to Uncle Sam's In surance. It is tne strongest, sorest. and cheapest life insurance ever written. For your protection Uncle Sam has ?stabllshed the greatest life insur ance company in the world a com pany as mighty, as generous, and as democratic as the United States Gov ernment itself. Just as Uncle Sam Totected you and your loved ones during the war, so he stands ready to continue this protection through the days cf rcadjus'ment and peace. The privilege of continuing your Government Insurance Is a valuable right given to you as part of the com pensation for your heroic and triumph ant services. If you permit the insur ance to lajse. you lose that right, and you will never be able to regain it. But if you keep up your present insurance by the regular payment of premiums you will be able to change '.t Into a standard Government policy without medical examination. Mean time you can keep up your present In surance at substantially the same low rate. The Government will write or dinary life insurance, twenty-payment life, endowment maturing at age 62, and other usual forms ot insurance. This will be Government insurance at Government rates. The United States Government through the Bureau of War Risk In surance of the Treasury Department will safeguard you and your loved ones with the spirit and purpose of a Republic grateful to its gallant de fenders. To avail yourself of this pro tection, you must keep up your pres ent Insurance. Carry back with you to civil life, as an aid and an asset, '.he continued Insurance protection of the United States Government. Hold on to Uncle Sam's Insurance.

FOR DAMAGES Attorney Devers Intent On Bringing Company to Time In Maple, ton Road Case. Following the announcement of tho decision of the state supremo court in favor of the Southern Pacific com pany in tho case wherein the Lane County Court sought to compel the campany to rebuild the wagon road between Mapleton and Cushman, which it appropriated several years ago in order to build its Coos Bay branch railroad over the same route. Attorney J. M. Devers, who has been representing the county in the case from the start, announced yesterday that he would' at once suo the com pany for $75,000 damages. In this case the county court at tempted to compel tho railroad com pany to live up to the terms of its agreement to build another road in lieu of the ono destroyed. The case was taken to the stato public service commission and the commission or dered the company to rebuild tho road within a certain tlmo. The company appealed to the circuit court and Judge Kelly affirmed the decision of the commission, when tho company appealed to the supreme court, which reversed tho decision of the lower court. Justice Johns, who wrote the opinion, says that the pub lic service commission had no author' lty to order tljo company to build tho road, but at the same time the Jus tice says that the company had made' no pretense of carrying out the tormB of Its agreement with tho county court and that, as a matter of Justice, It should olther rebuild tho road or mako a fair and reasonable settle ment with tho county court At ono tlmo tho company offered to sottle for $30,000, but this offer was refused, as.lt is estimated that tho cost of ,a new road would be moro than twice thai sum.
