Too Many Holidays.
The move is finally under way to
abolish a few of our numerous holi
days. The old saying that "every
day will be Sunday by and by" should
have been, "every day will be a holi
day after awhile."
Oregon has a number of holidays,
but there are other states observing
more. Yet there is one day, observed
universally which is the most useless

is New Years.

An Editorial for Our Boys
About Robinson Crusoe.
No doubt many of the boys of
Heppner received Robinson Crusoe
as a Christmas present, and now
they have had a chance to read the
book, the editor thinks they'd like to
know some facts about the original
exile, vhose adventures DeFoe made
into the story "Robinson Crusoe."
For many years people have
thought an English sailor named Sel
kirk, who lived alone four years on
Juan Fernandez Island, was the
character in real life. Francis Arnold,
a writer who has investigated for the
Boy Scout's Magazine, says a Portu
gese sailor named Fernan Lopez was
the real Crusoe and the island was
St. Helena where Napoleon was im
prisoned many years later.
"The adventures of Lopez on his
lonely island," says Arnold, "have
much more in common with the story
of Robinson Crusoe than those oi
Selkirk. The Portugese exile lived
alone on his island more than thirty
years, while Selkirk was exiled for
only about four. Lopez again shared
his exile with a black stave, which
may well have suggested Friday to
DeFoe. He carried ashore a rooster
intended for food, which however he

The long exile was broken by a trip
to Europe when Lopez was given a
remarkable reception not only in
Portugal but in Italy as well.
"After his rescue Selkirk was con

voluntarily returned to St. Helena
where he lived alone for more than
twenty years. From all the evidence
it seems that DeFoe borrowed freely
from the adventures of Lopez rather
than those of Selkirk."

Cottage Grove Local
Considerable space has been de
voted recently in the public press to
this question of woman jurors. The
fair sex is already admissible to jury
duty in certain states of the Union
and agitation along these lines is rife
in other states.
Is a woman tempermentally fitted
for service on a jury in a criminal
case? Does feminine intuition make
females better arbiters than men?
Will that intuition which women are
conceded to possess in high degree
prove a surer and safer guide than
mere masculine logic? What would i
happen were a lone woman juror, '
holding out against the opinion of
eleven male co-jurors, to find herself ,
bullied, brow-beaten, harangued and j
almost third.degreed? j
These and similar questions nat-!
urally arise in connection with Flo-
rence Reed's latest United screen ve-;
hide, The Woman Under Oath, which j
presents the remarkable case of the
first woman juror appointed in a cer
tain state. The subject is timely, pub
lic, and particularly of feminine in
terest. This latest form of feminine activ
ity opens up to Florence Reed a novel
role which at once provides that emo
tional actress wide scope for her un
doubted histrionic powers and forms
the basis of one of the most power
ful screen dramas of recent times.
With Miss Reed's recent successes,

Do You Know Hudson
But Through Sheer Merit Alone Essex Made
Its Thirty Million Dollar Sales Record
Builds the Essex?
Essex success has not been accidental.
No one doubts its right to the position it
holds.
On the Cincinnati Speedway, a stock
chassis Essex set the world 50-hour en
durance mark, of 3037 miles, under Am
erican Automobile Association supervis
ion. Another stock Essex holds the un
equalled 24-hour road mark of 1061
miles.
But how many know why Essex in its
first year revealed qualities more mature,
more evident of the influence of long ex
perience, than is commonly found in cars
even in their third or fourth year.
You will recall the Essex was announc
ed one year ago without one word as to
the identity of its builders. Not a claim
was made for its performance.
You were asked to go look at it, take a
ride and form your own opinion. The
Essex was required to speak for itself.
Now that it has established itself, it is
revealed why Essex has all the qualities
of cars of long development.
Was Designed by
Hudson Engineers
They conceived it as they developed
the Super-Six. All they learned about en
durance, they incorporated in the Essex.
They gave to the Essex the power that
has made it famous in all quarters. Its
speed is the result of what had been
learned in making the Super-Six winner
of all worth while speed records.
The Essex cap never be all that the
Super-Six is for they are totally different
types.
But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was un
known. The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have come
from other cars, cars that fall short of
the Super-Six in all particulars save size
and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be
cause of its nimbleness. They like the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any com
munity that are most prominent because
of their performance ability are the Hud
son Super-Six and the Essex.
Essqx Did Not Need '
Hudson's Endorsement
Think of the advantages Essex has
had. What ordinarily would have re
quired years to perfect was made possi
ble in the very first model.
That is why 20,000 are now running,
why more than $30,000,000.00 wa3 paid
for Essex cars in ten months.
You have not needed the Hudson en
dorsement to understand Essex perform
ance. Essex has won its own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit of the experience of
its engineers and the ability of its manu
facturing organization. Its name was
not needed.
Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
a father might in speaking of his son who
on his own account has made good.
