BRUG
Your Legs and Your
Brain
This ia one of the greatest trag
edies of modern life. Men are for
getting how to walk.
They travel by taxicabs and street
cars; they travel by automobile;
they project their personalities over
a telephone wire.
But they do not walk.
There is a double loss in this.
A loss in health, first. Most of
the diseases of modern men origin
ate in the intestines. Formerly men
and women walked enough to keep
the stomach muscles firm ,the intes
tines healthfully agitated.
Now men and women ever more
so sit all day slumped in.
Germs settle down Inside them
gladly; and Death, his work made
easy for him, laughs.
There is another loss, equally
great. A loss in mental keenness
and mental wealth.
Did you ever take a walk in the
country with someone who knows
really how to walk?
Someone of the type of the nat
uralist Linnaeus, for instance?
Linnaeus walked into Oland, and
found the lands of the farmers ruin
ed by sand blown from the beaches.
He discovered that the roots of a
certain beach grass were long and
firm; he taught the farmers to sow
that grass along the beach, and so
preserved their lands from ruin.
He walked into Thorne, and found
that at a certain period in every
year the cattle fell sick and died.
It was a curse, the people said
the act of angry spirits.
But Linnaeus, examining the pas
turesf uncovered a noxious weed,
and showed the farmers how the
work of one laborer for a few days
every season would root it out.
In his walks he examined and cat
alogued 8,000 plants, vegetables, and
flowers.
How many plants, vegetables, and
flowers do you think you could iden
tify if you were to see them in their
native state?
"Few men," said Dr. Johnson,
"know how to take a walk."
But those favored few enjoy a
glorious and mysterious privilege.
To discover where the violets first
bloom in the spring
To be able to tell directions in the
woods, by knowing that large pine
trees bear more numerous branches
on their southern side
Or that grass grows on the south
side of ant-hills and whortleberries
on the north
There are few pleasures more
richly satisfying; none that pay
larger dividends in health.
The man who goes into the coun
try once a week is a better citizen
than the man who never goes, even
though his eyes see nothing more
inspiring on his walk than a golf
ball.
Flabby legs usually mean flubby
brains.
If you would think clearly, speak
forcefully, work effectively, get out
into the country when you can and
walk.

ALCOHOL
More alcohol is being distilled in
the United States than ever before.
That has nothing to do with prohi
bition. The use of alcohol in indus
try has multiplied enormously since
the war. The new chemical indus
tries use it in a thousand ways.
Next to sulphuric acid, it is the
most important of all chemicals.
Business would stop, in hundreds of
lines, if the manufacture of alcohol
stopped. But less grain is being
used for alcohol than before. Mo
lasses and potatoes are the chief
sources of industrial alcohol. The
sugar-growers of Louisiana are get
ting real money now for what used
to be pure waste, and the potato
growers of Maine, Michigan, Mary
land and the other potato centers
have a more stable market for their
product.
CITIZENSHIP
Becoming a citizen of the United
States ought to be sa impressive as
joining a church or a lodge. When
you join a church it is a solemn oc
casion. You are welcomed Into the
communion by a ceremony in which
minister, elders, deacons or other
ofticials take the lead and the whole
congregation participates. When
you join a lodge you are, for the
moment, the central figure among
the brothers; you are made to feel
that you have achieved a new Im
portance in their eyes, a new dig
nity in your own esteem. But when
a man or woman goes into a natur
alization court to get his final pa
pers he is treated aa if Uncle Sam
wished he had stayed at home.
It would be a useful service for
any Chamber of Commerce to un
dertake to make of the admission
of aliens to citizenship an occasion
for public rejoicing. And If the
same Idea could be extended to an
annual welcome to the new American-born
voters who have just
come of age, that would certainly
help impress upon them the respon
sibilities and the dignity of Amer
ican citizenship.
CHEESE
There are more than five hundred
varieties of cheese. Some are made
only in certain parts of the world,
such as Roquefort, which ripens
only In natural caverns in France
Gorgonzola, a native of Italy, Stil
ton, as English as John Bull, Lim
burgcr, Brie and a hundred other
"ripe" cheeses, besides the mild soft
cheeses such as Camcmbert, cream
and the others which should be
eaten as soon as possible after they
are made. Swiss cheese must not
be overlooked. And then there arc
1 the more universally popular chees
es of the cheddar type, which In
cludes the Dutch Edam and pine
applo cheese of commerce, which Is
the staple product of the American
dairy.
Cheese supplies all the nutritive
elements found in meat. The use of
cheese is increasing, as the use of
meat Is decreasing. That is encour
aging to the dairy farmer but not
so good for the cattle raiser.
MOUNT VERNON
Greatest of all our national
shrines is Mount Vernon, the coun
try sent of George Washington, on
the Potomac, a few miles below
Washington. It was a neglected, al
most ruinous old house when, more
than fifty years after Washington's
death, a band of ladles selected
from the various states, raised
funds with which to purchase and
rcrt'iir it.
From time to time a movement
for the Federal Government to take
over Mount Vernon and be respon
sible for its maintenance has begun.
For nearly eighty years the burden
haa been carried by private dona
tiona and subscriptions. If there is
any one spot in America which
should properly be a charge upon
the whole nation, it is Mount Ver
non. GETTYSBURG
To North and South alike the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg is hallowed
ground. Here was the high tide of
the Confederate forces. Here Lin
coln voiced his immortal phrase,
"Government of the pople, by the
people, for the people." Here the
most Imposing monument is the
statue of General Lee.. Here, among
these rolling Pennsylvania hills, lie
the most gallant soldiers whom
America has produced, "Under the
sod and the dew, waiting the judg
ment day."
Every year nearly a million and
a half tourists visit the Gettysburg
National Park. They come from
every section of the Union, as many
from the South as from the North.
The pleasant little town has wel
comed them but its facilities for
housing and feeding its guests have
not kept pace with the growth of
the tourist tide. It ia good news,
therefore, to all who cherish Get
tysburg as one of our national
shrines, that the people of the town
have at last stirred themselves to
meet this need. A new hotel, in a
style and manner befitting its sur
roundings, is to be built this year.
And this will make the pilgrimage
to Gettysburg even more popular
than it is now.
DAIRYMEN BACK
PUBLICITY WORK
StuU' Association Makes Plans to
Sell Oregon on I'se of More
Dairy Products.
Every publicity medium available
ranging from oratory to paid ad
vertising is to be enlisted by Oregon
dairymen in extending a campaign
of education as to the value of more
dairy products in the diet, if rec
ommendations adopted by the Ore
gon Dairymen's association at the
annual convention in Marshfleld
and Coquille are carried out.
The report of the committee on
increasing consumption adopted by
the association points out that more
is to be gained by a constructive
campaign of education regarding
the products of the cow rather than
in a drive against substitutes. Any
remedial legislation in regard to the
matter, it was decided, should be
national in scope.
The report favored attention to
high quality products as the first
step in any successful sales cam
paign and in this connection endors
ed a state cream grading law. A
unified effort to push sales of all
classes of dairy products was fav
ored rather than a number of sep
arate campaigns.
"The press is recognized as a pow
erful factor in moulding fKiblic opin
ion," the report said, "and we ap
peal to the editors of Oregon in this
hour of under consumption of dairy
products, to give the dairy industry
special consideration in their edi
torial pages and also to lend more
attention to solicitation of paid ad
vertising of dairy products in their
display.
The association also favored steps
to increase efficiency of production
with only moderate expansion, but
said there is no need for the good
dairy farmer to become unduly
alarmed over the present situation.
New officers of the association
chosen are president, Sidney Miller,
Woodburn; first vice president, Mar
vin Thomas, Redmond; second vice
president, Thomas Acree, Hood Riv
er; secretary, P. M. Brandt, Oregon
State college; assistant secretary,
N. C. Jamison, Corvallis. The next
convention will be held in Redmond.
COLLEGE DRAMAS BROADCAST
'Miss Civilization," the first of a
series of plays to be broadcast by
KOAC, is scheduled for 8 o clock
Wednesday evening, March 12. The
cast will be furnished by the Work
shop Theater players, composed of
advanced students in community
drama at the college. One play will
be listed for each Wednesday night
at 8 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Carlson
brought their child to town Friday
to receive a doctor's care. He re
porta his wheat crop coming along
line. Spring plowing with a tractor
has kept him busy lately.
Butter is
Nutritious
-Use It!
Butter Is one of the most
delicious foods made. It
should be used freely In cook
ing, frying, baking, and on
the tqble. Butter is almost
100 per cent digestible, and
because of its vitamin con
tent, those growth-promoting,
health-preserving substances,
It Is classed by nutrition ex
perts as one of the protective
foods.
BUTTER IS CHEAP NOW,
SO EAT PLENTY OF IT.

SPRING GARDEN HINTS.
(From Landscape Section, O. S. C.)
No time is gained in trying to
divide plants or transplant shrubs
or perennials before the soil warms
up as new roots will not form prop
erly, resulting In stunting or death
of the plants.
To eradicate moss from lawns
iake as much as possible with a
garden rake and then add a soil
dressing containing one-sixth its
bulk in lime. Next resow with a
good grass mixture containing con
siderable clover.
Synthyris, or spring queen, ia a
common Oregon wild flower that
goes well in a wild flower garden.
This plant with heart-shaped leaves
and blue flowers grows from two to
eight inches tall and serves well as
a border plant.
Many gardeners prefer selected
shades of zinnias rather than a
complete mixture so commonly
used.
COMPLAINT FILED.
Judgment of $29.99 and costs is
sought by the State Industrial Acci
dent commission in a complaint
filed in the circuit court for Mor
row county, February 20, naming
Henry A. Fuller as defendant. The

is claimed due because of an agree
ment with the commission to pro
tect his farm hands under the pro
visions of the "Workmen's Compen
sation Act."

TEST HERD STARTED.
The extent to which dairymen
may depend on alfalfa hay alone as
a feed for the producing herd is to
be the chief object of study in a
new experimental dairy herd estab
