Troy Bogard, Eight Mile. Or. From A Mother's Viewpoint r c it. Warranted pride shines these days in the eyes of Mrs. Byrd, who but yester-year was a young Virginia mother -with hopes for her two stalwart boys, Harry and Dick. She has just returned home from th$ East where she witnessed the nation bestow great honors on Dick the younger son, who is Lieut-Commander R. E. Byrd, the first to fly over the North Pole carrying the Stars and Stripes ahead of all nations. Brother Harry helped in the welcome home, leaving his desk as Governor of Virginia long enough to join in. . Can you Imagine this mother's pride as she saw her two boys riding down Broadway while thousands cheered the hero of the North? Made Old Man Feel He Hadn't Realized Worth Every business executive knows what It li to give and to receive letters of character. Some are given without much thought of the man at the other end of the line. And as a result, all are rend with a grain of salt. Philosopher Ed Howe out in Kansas, epitomizes the situation by suylng: "A man came Into m; office with the finest bunch of recommendations that a man ever had. He proved such a bore that I would have written bim one myself to get him out of my office." Which reminds me of a story, says Merle Thorpe In The Nation's Busi ness. An old negro from the southern rural districts had gone to the city seeking employment. Everywhere he went references were asked for. Finally he gave the names of former employers and. in due time returned for a decision. Some of the letters were read to him In which he was praised very highly, and his work and loyalty greatly lauded. The old man's eyes opened wide with surprise and pleasure as he re marked t "Well, Ah declar', ef I had a-knowed Ah wus such a good nigger as dat Ah shure 'mi IT would have got more pay." Job of Breadwinning Cramping to Geniuu When Homer smote his lyre he was probably Inspired by an urge more noble than hunger. But In more modern times there has been an Incessant lament on the part of men of genius whose expression has been hampered by the necessity of degrading their muse to the posi tion of breadwinner. Dostoebskl, the great Russian writer, gives striking testimony of this In let ters, writes the Forum. "I know I have It In me to write great books," he sold "books and stories in which I would condense all my thoughts, all my observa tions of existence and Its decep tions, blighted ambitions and false pleasures. But I cannot do It. "Who will realize, who has not gone .through It, the feelings of a man anxiously waiting for (he postmun to bring him Just enough to live on for a few days, and his disnp polntment when, that, postmun falls NEWS! What is it? It is the stir of life that marks the difference between a living world and a dead planet. It is the sound of civilization's machinery in motion. It is the speed gauge of progress. It is the background . for all thinking, all planning and all know ledge of human affairs. When paper teaves the presses imprinted with the news, it is an inert material no longer but an active force. ----News and Progress, The Manhattan Library.

How can I labor for hire only, sell for cash my literary faculties and abili ties without these faculties under going complete deterioration?" Par ion Was Handicapped The local all-round sportsman met the vicar, who was returning home with his fishing tackle. The sportsman, who prided himself on being a great angler, and often said so, Inquired: "Hello, vicar! Any luck?" "Yes," replied the vicar, tapping his basket. "I have a trout In here a pound and a half that I pulled out from the lower brook." "Oh, that's nothing I" bragged the other. "I've caught dozens of fish of two pounds and over In that stream." "Ah, but you have the advantage of me," explained the vicar. "Advantage, vicar?" exclaimed the sporty one. "Same brook, and you have better gear 1" "I know that," retortod the rev erend gentleman. "But yon must remember that I am a parson and you're not." Philadelphia In quirer. Heroic Monkey A monkey may be said to have heaped coals of fire upon the head of the entire feline race by a single kindly act. It Is well remembered that i good-hearted monkey was the original "cat's paw," pulling hot chestnuts from the fire for the ben efit of a scheming cat. A restaurant owner in Hoxle, Ark., has long had two pets, a mon key and a cat. They are said to have become great friends. Re cently the man's restaurant caught fire and was completely destroyed. The manager seized the monkey and cnrrled It to safety. But the res cued creature struggled free and dashed back Into the smoke and flames. When It reappeared It was at a window with the cat In Its arms. Both animals are safe. Solid Institution The Bank of England was Incor porated In 1694, and from Its out set has been closely connected with the English, government. The re- 5 serve of " its banking department la always In coin or In notes against which there Is coin lying in the Is sue department of the bank. Since It Is through the Bank of England that other banks "clear," many of them keep their reserve lying as a deposit In it, rather than In their own banks. It Is essential, there fore, to the stability of all banks In that country that the Bank of Eng land shall always be possessed of coin and ever be able to pay on demand all checks of depositors or notes that may be presented to It ' Love for Animalt Interest In animals Is so natural with children that It Is usually a simple matter to teach love and sympathy for them even where it does not already exist. In present ing an animal that Is "new," teach ers have splendid opportunity to train powers of observation and to supply a class with a mine of ma terial, says Nature Magazine. The otter as a fur bearer, as the cou rageous protector of his life and lib erty, as a fisherman, and as a special stunt artist Is bound to de light children. Take them to see live otters If .possible. Possible Origin "Wonder who originated the ex pression: 'Step on It?'" "Some early motorist, probably." "I dunno! Maybe that's what Sir Walter Raleigh said when be laid his cloak down In front' of Queen Elizabeth." Boston Tran script Calvaries of Paris Are Rapidly Passing Slowly the calvaries of Paris nre vanishing. The old walls on which penitence and adoration erected them have crumbled, have been swept away, and the new walls know no calvaries. Here and there, however, writes "F. G. H." In the continental edition of the London Mall, the great and sorrowful sym bol of the Christian faith may still be seen. In remote corners, Just out of the swift current of the city's life It stands unheeded by the busy crowds. Only the birds sometimes flutter round It, and In the manner of Borne medieval legend, we might believe the feathered things cared for something that humanity had almost forgotten. Of such calvaries one may be found at the corner of the Ss d'Aubervllllers and the Rue LUMBER measured with the GOLDEN RULE We are ready to meet your building needs!

Heppner, Lexington, lone de l'Evangtler It has Its place not In one of the loveliest parts of the great city, and we might be disposed to question the work Itself from the stand point of mere art. But there it stands, and a creeper droops half caressingly around the head of It. It breaks suddenly the level con tour of an ngly wall. And some times It may seem that nothing was ever broken In a manner more won derful than this poor wall Is broken by the dolorous calvary. Police Dogs "Wolfish" The police dogs are not a dis tinct breed, but are shepherd dogs police trained. The German police dog should stand 22 to 26 Inches at the shoulder and show In every line the qualities which he Is supposed to possess Intelligence, alertness, loyalty, gentleness, courage, obedi ence, willingness and devotion While the standard allows great range of color, those most often seen In this country are of the so called "wolf color, dark tipping of hair over a tawny or buff ground. The muzzle (unlike that of a wolf) Is usually blackish. Both the Ger man and Belgian dogs may be di vided Into three general types namely, rough-halred, wire-haired and smooth-haired. By their erect ears and general expression they betray their near relationship to the wolf. Not Acquainted In an Influential parish church, It had been found necessary to pro vide the minister with nn assistant. Some difficulty was evidently ex perienced. Untlmately It appeared that a suitable candidate had been found. Following the Sunday on which he preached, a woman member of the congregation met a church offi cer, whom she proceeded to con gratulate on their having secured such a likely young man as a pro spective assistant. "Oh, well," he said, "It's Just a case of Hobson's choice." "Indeed," was the reply, "hut who Is Hobson?" Why go to the mat about your pipe tobacco?

The past week two costly grain field fires occurred in Umatilla county, and we note this is happening at dif ferent points in the grani belt. So far no damage has occurred in Mor row county, yet it may come any day because of the dry grass in the lanes nad adjacent to grain fields. Our farmers should not take chances on suffering loss from this source but should get the grain insured, as the rates are cheap. See your insurance agent.
