THE HERMISTON Portland’s Rose HERALD, OREGON. GEORGE SISLER IS PICKED TO RIVAL COBB WITH STICK Responsibility of the Individual By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. When we talk about a representative form of government and the health of our people, we rarely stop to think of our individual part in the responsibility and efficiency of our government and its every act. We are all highly critical of the way in which our municipalities and our state and federal departments are conducted, without a blush at our own want of individual responsibility in governmental affairs when it ia time to direct them as they should go. The large majority of us, from the time we get up in the morning and start to look after our domestic affairs and those concerning our busi AMERICA’S GREATEST ness or profession, until the’ day’s end, consider no efforts too great for PATRIOTIC efficiency, let them be what they may. The large majority of our voters, DEMONSTRATION however, never atop to weigh earnestly the acta of public officiala day by day and add up, so that, when it comes time for nominating officiala, we may have a record of the men intrusted to take care of our affairs.

How letters were mailed before postage stamps came into existence is shown by an exhibit of old letters that were sent to Wisconsin towns In the territorial days, now preserved in the state historical museum at Madison, according to the Milwaukee Sentinel. The old letters had no envelopes, but consisted of sheets folded and sealed. The postage was 3 cents a sheet and an extra charge was made for an envelope. Postage was paid to the postmaster and he marked the letter paid. It was possible to have an account at the post office, for which the post- master sent a statement every month. The postage was based on distance sent, as well as the number of sheets. Although stamps made their appear ance in 1847, some letters sent to Blue Mounds, Ore., and Madison as late as 1854 bore no stamps, and were simply marked paid by the postmaster. New Kind of “Bootlegger. A clever smuggler was recently caught by the Bavarian police. For two months a man had come three times a week into a small town In Bavaria obviously from the country, stumping along in a wooden leg and going always In the same direction. This aroused the suspicion of the po liceman, who eventually arrested him. On examination, the police found the man's hollow wooden leg cleverly packed with 11 pound packets of 'love joy, fragrant, golden-yellow butter.' The man confessed that for three months he had smuggled this quantity of butter to a dozen or so households, ignoring the butter ticket system. Needless to say there was a dozen or so heavy fines to pay. Tobacco. The area devoted to the cultivation of tobacco In the United States in 1915 was 1,368,400 acres.

Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Browns, expresses the opinion that George Staler is the best first baseman in the American league. Jones also declares that Sisler is in the same class with Tyrus Cobb and that at the end of the season the Brown's crack first sacker will have a batting average that will compare favorably with the record of both Cobb and Speaker. Sisler played 140 games at first base last year. He made 24 fielding errors and his percentage was .985.

Jones' contention that Sisler’s value to the Browns equals that of Cobb and Speaker of the Tigers and Clevelands, respectively, Is based on the fact that the St. Louis star can play every po sition on the field, except behind the bat. Slsler is a first-class left-handed pitcher. In fact, Jones had an idea of using him regularly in the box until he discovered that Boston, an experi mental first baseman, was weak at the bat. Sisler has covered second, third and short acceptably and also has done splendid work in the outfield, but his best position is the first corner and he will be stationed there permanently.

An easier way is to get the ready-to- use preparation improved by the addi tion of other ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness.
