PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1929 Tr IT BYE.W.HOtyE m 7he SaQe ofPokfoHiO' 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 Shot Put Champ vi 1) Msw,i iss lungkunz. of L)lm. Ger 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. IRRIGON School started last week with quite an increase In enrollment in the high school here, necessitating the hiring of another teacher, Miss Marie Hoover of Invernice, Mont. Miss Rachel Sloan is the new pri mary teacher, Mrs. Grieves of Seat tle, Intermediate, and Mrs. S. Bar ker the grammar room, with R. J. Hoisington of Wasco, Idaho, as sup erintendent.

Artist Depicts Spirit of Paul Bunyan -1 I Vvw. s v : i to.aLiAt.ii - - - .AllS.;,. 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.
