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

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.

this Is what I am enduring every
single day of my existence. How
can I labor for hire only, sell for
cash my literary faculties and abili
ties without these faculties under

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-

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."

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

Heppner, Lexington, lone

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?"

GRAIN FIELDS BURN.
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.
