VOLTAIRE, A MASTER
VIRTUE
STAYING POWER
Frequently a reader encounters
these two words: "Voltaire said."
... I always read what follows;
sometimes I do not understand It,
occasionally I disagree, but always
I recognize a master mind and hand.
Some will not read him; they
have heard he was a mean and fool
ish little man. On the contrary, he
was so unusual that he is still en
couraging or distressing his fellow
men.
If you read of Napoleon you soon
note he had a good deal of respect
for Voltaire. You have undoubt
edly heard of Frederick the Great,
who had the advantage of being a
king to start -with. Voltaire was a
much smarter man; he has had far
greater influence on the world. In
spite of faults inevitable and natur
al in any human machine, Voltaire
came nearer having intelligence
than any other living organism.
I give him no credit; he simply
had it. Instead of being born a piti
ful fool, he was born with the
world's greatest mind. Some of the
famous prophets were weaklings
compared to him; Mahomet's per
sonal history convicts him frequent
ly of being an ass indeed, I know
of no great mystic among rulers
who had a really good mind.'-
Voltaire won his fame as fairly
as has evolution; every scholar has
added him up, and given him great
credit
This long introduction to a quo
tation from Voltaire I just encoun
tered in reading: "All men are
equal; but it is not birth but virtue
which makes them so."
In the gross sentimentalism of
our conversation and reading the
declaration that we are all equal is
a favorite; but remember that a
man really able to think says you
are only equal to another if you
have his virtues.
And virtue is a simple word; it
means a high average in the sort of
conduct the world has decided Is
good. The dictionary gives some
pages to the word virtue, but It all
condenses into this; a high average
in fairness, honesty, industry, tem
perance, usefulness in small or
great ways, and thrift in health and
business.
And the lowliest of us may profit
from the practice of virtue.
I have received many letters In a
single delivery of mail, and not one
of real interest; but I received one
today that caused me to take no
tice. "The heroics of human life,"
said the writer, "do not consist in
spectacular circumstances; in great
deeds, or in the taking of cities, but
in the staving powers we have for
the monotony of little things that
make up the long hard siege of liv
ing and behaving creditably." . . .
This, it seems to me, is wise; had
I encountered it in Emerson or
Aristotle, I should have been moved
no more than I was by this utter
ance of one of the plain people of
1929.
31r. Cash Will Attend
Convention at Portland
J. D. Cash, manager of the local
J. C. Penney Co. store, will leave
Sunday morning for Portland to
attend the fall convention of the
J. C. Penney company to be held
at Multnomah hotel, opening on
Monday and continuing throughout
the week.
Representatives from the New
York office of the company who will
be present at the convention and
preside over the general sessions,
will include Chairman W. M. Bush
nell, personnel department; W. A.
Reynolds, sales department; E. A.
Ross, real estate department; E. G.
Ruffner, district manager. Seven
buyers for important merchandise
departments will also be present
The Portland convention is one
of 15 district meetings held at cen
tral points throughout the country
and attended by over 1400 J. C.
Penney company store managers.
"The fall convention this year,"
states Mr. Cash, "will be largely
devoted to sales promotion in line
with the Gold Star sales contest re
cently inaugurated by the company.
This contest is not only to increase
sales but to improve service to the
public by bringing individual clerks
in closer contact with the entire or
ganization, thus giving them a bet
ter understanding of efficient sell
ing methods. This year has already
seen the greatest growth ever made
in the development of the J. C.
Penney company. More stores have
been opened than In any previous
year, and sales are larger than ever
before."
Mr. Cash states that four days of
the convention will be given over
to conferences with individual
members of the convention commit
tees and to buying.
HOME POINTERS
(From School of Home Economics,
An ideal fruit jelly has a bright
or delicate color, is nearly trans
parent, and has no scum or bubbles
at the top. Such a jelly, when turn
ed out of its container, will hold
Its shape, is tender, and quivers
when moved. It will cut easily
with a spoon, yet' breaks with a
sharp cleavage line and shows
sparkling surfaces.
Milk Is far richer in calcium, a
mineral which growing children
need for bones and teeth, than al
most any other food. Skim milk,
while it contains practically all the
protein, sugar and mineral matter
of whole milk, is lacking in butter
fat, which contains a vitamin es
sential to the welfare of the chil
dren. While sugar itself is a desirable
part of the child's diet, it is harm
ful if fed in large quantities or
between meals. Sweets, if given to
children between meals or during
the first course of the meal, will
spoil the appetite for other essential
foods. The proper time to serve
sweets is at the end of a meal.
Although the common idea has
long been that the fell the thin

many, famous woman athlete, has
added to her laurels by putting the
shot 21.47 meters for a new world's
record for womea
papery outer covering on the lamb
carcass should be removed before
cooking, it is now believed that the
flavor of the lamb is not affected
by the fell. Leg of lamb keeps its
shape better if cooked with the fell,
but shoulder, saddle and chops cook
better without it.
There is no advantage in feeding
pigs an excessive amount of skim
milk and cutting down on the grain
ration, as the animal will not make
econmoical gains on such a diet, re
ports the Oregon Experiment sta
tion. A pig weighing 70 pounds
requires about seven pounds of
skim milk and four and a half
pounds of corn daily to make the
most satisfactory gains.
Legume hays are considerably
higher in protein content than are
hays from cereals and grasses, and
consequently th emost economical
kinds to grow for a dairy herd.
Cereal concentrates to feed with le
gume hays are about half as expen
sive to supply as protein concen
trates, finds the experiment station.

U. O. Artist Depicts Spirit of Paul Bunyan

EUGENE, Or. The great North
west, land of loggers, hai its own
mythology as absorbing and thrill
ing as that of ancient Greece or
those countries of the Norseland.
This mythology centers around the
famed Paul Bunyan and his great
tins ox. Tales of the prowess of
the Herculean Paul and of the
great strength of the ox are told
around bunk house tires at night,
the sturdy loggers vleing with each
other In Inventing new "whoppers."
But so far the great Paul has
lacked an artist to memorialize
him, to put him into everlasting
atone or paint him on enduring
canvas. Making a bid for this hon
or is Oliver Laurence Barrett,
sculptor of the University of Ore
gon, who has Just completed a
working model of Paul and his
great or
This model Mr. Barrett hopes
some day to see in stone in gigan
tie size, perhaps 20 feet high. Paul
Is depicted kneeling at the head of
his ox, as if in contemplation of
some great deed such as the dig
ging of Puget Sound or the carv
ing of the great Columbia gorge.
The ox stands ready, patient at
his side. The whole is mounted
on a pedestal base, which in turn
Is flanked by circular saws, their
teeth making a symbolic pattern
on either side.
Into the clay model Mr. Barrett
has put the very spirit of the west
ern woods. The massive strength,
the majesty and the solidity of the
trees and mountains are faithfully
brought out in the carving.
It is the hope of Mr. Barrett that
the statue may some day become
the symbol of the Northwest basic
industry, lumber, and that its re
plica in towering size may be
placed in some prominent place as
a fitting memorial for this spirit
that is so familiar and so loved by
all lumbermen.
Mr. Barrett, one of the younger
artists of the West, is already
achieving fame as an interpreter
of the early Oregon country days.
At a recent exhibition in San
Francisco his work won warm
praise from art clrltcs. Notable
western figures he has made in
clude "Sandstorm," a statue of a
cowboy and his horse battling a
storm, which stands in the Legion
of Honor palace at San Francisco;
"The Indian," a tribute to the red
man, and a striking group depict
ing the last stand of the wild
horse. Among his other works is
a highly artistic heroic depiction
of "St George and the Dragon."
The artist is thoroughly familiar
with the lumber Industry of the
Northwest, and in his early youth
was employed in various mills and
logging camps. In these he heard
the Bunyan tales and as soon as
he became an artist resolved to
make them one of his themes for
Interpretation,
move in soon.
