X HE MAIL TRIBUNE regrets very much that an accident to its
printing press lias seriously crippled its service, and it will be
impossible to "return to normalcy" until a new press part can be se
cured from Battle Creek, Michigan.
In the meant line this paper will do everything in its power to
give the best service possible under the circumstances, and merely
asks for that consideration which is usually accorded any business,
which finds itself in serious and unavoidable difficulty. ,
JOURNALISM AND LITERATURE.
Today Is the 100th anniversary of
the writing of "Home, Sweet Home.
When the song was written, home was
something besides a starting point for
a tour of the nation during the sum
mer, and a place to rest up for a dance
in the remaining months.
The developments in the "House of
David" trial, simply proves that the
supply of galoots is practically inex
liaustible. It was a bunco game,
glossed with religion, and the first
step was to instill in the minds of the
suckers the firm belief that long, red
whiskers were an unfailing sign of
sanctity.
SIGN OF FOOLHARDINESS
(Salem Capital Journal)
The fact that a man kicks his
wife out of bed merely because
she snores too loud cannot be con
strued as a sign of insanity. At
least that is the way Dr. V. Carl
ton Smith views the law in the
case.
A nut flew oft the press last eve
delaying the paper several hours.
About the same time a nut flew off on
the Main Stem, and started a report
that your corr. had been scrunched to
death In the melee. A number of de
lighted creditors were early on the
scene to extend congratulations on
the narrow escape.

Golden J. Linnet, a high flying
native of the country districts, was
found dead this morning .in a barren
spot near phone pole, with his tail
feathers slightly ruffled, and his toes
turned up to the bright spring sun

member of a family noted for Its swift
flight, and quick dodging, plunged
headlong into the pole. Death' was in

the remains. No reasons are advanced
for the rash act. Relatives say he was

summer was before blm. Linnet has
been seen much in the company of a
gay habitue of the lawns, with a

when questioned said: "1 knew both

had exhibited were kept for sale in
the stationery room. They could not
wipe the facts out of existence, so
they made n attempt to win me out.

Such was the account of the ceremony and burial of the Unknown
Soldier at Arlington Cemetery written by fin-unknown and at that
time undistinguished member of the Associated Press staff at Wash
ington, D. C.
Yesterday we noticed a story in the Portland Journal, which
thoflgh it can't be compared to the unknown Soldier tribute, .either
in dignity and impressiveness of theme or elevation of style, is in
its way, deserving of recognition as a splendid example of the very
best descriptive writing. The box of peppermints goes ths time,
however, to the United News. Mark the brevity, the vividness of the
picture, the fine restraint and the genuineness of the mute drama,
in the following:
On Board the Battleship Maryland Off Panama Bay (Via Naval
Ttadlo to United News). March 23. The old battleship Iowa, flagship
ot "Fighting Bob" Kvans, in the battle of Santiago, went down to her
peaceful grave in the waters of the Pacific under a shower of 14-inch
shells from the modern Mississippi during battle maneuvers Thursday.
The scarred old craft, controlled by radio, had been under bom
bardment with soft nosed shells for two days during the gun tests. A(
4 o'clock Thursday the Mississippi fired a salvo of 14-inch shells.
From the Maryland. Secretary of the Navy Denby, many members of
congress and dozens of the naval officers, some ot whom fought under
"Fighting Bob" in the Spanish war. trained their binoculars on the
lonely craft. She had already settled visibly from the effects of pre
vious shell fire. .
The band on the Maryland struck up the Star Spangled Banner.' As
the last chords died away, the famous old ship off In the distance,
plunged to her grave. Some of the naval officers who had fought with
her in the Spanish war. wept.
This anUuuated craft has provided one of the most unique naval ex
periments in history. She was nmneuvred under the bombardment by
radio from a master ship several miles away. Several times she was
seen to swing around to elude the shell fire, although there was not
a person on board.

NEW YORK, March 24. (By the

track and field season in tha east,
viewed by experts as the greatest in
athletic history, has come to a clcse

McTigue to Fight George
DUBLIN, Mar. 23. (By Associated
Press). Mike McTigue told the corre
spondent late last evening that he had
accepted an offer to fight Georges
Carpentier but that It had not been de
cided whether the match would be
staged in the United States or Ireland.
Referring to his recent bout with
Battling SikL McTigue said:
"My critics do not realize that I was
giving away nearly 2S pounds in
weight to Sikl Neither do they suf
ficiently consider the tremendous dis
advantage under which I labored as a
result of the cut over my eye in the
eleventh round and the breaking of
my right thumb In the thirteenth
round.
"It it had not been for the broken
thumb there would have been no need
for the referee to award a decision.
You must remember that I am not a
fighter. I am a professional boxer and
prize fighting is not allowed in the
United States." -r

Boy and Girl Club Work
To the Editor: In 1921 1 entered
club work under the poultry division,
and started raising White Leghorn
cmckens. At that time Mr. Warner, a
poultryman of Medford, who baa made
a great success in raising chickens of
high egg production, was kind enough
to furnish club members with, a set
ting of eggs. : lie did this ,,oa, condl

ner's eggs and had good' success' with
mem. y - i -ix
During the year. the 6. -A. C. sent
out important information concerning
tbi caring of poultry'. -This' matrer'ls
straight from the. experiments 'carried
on at the college so may ba relied on
as the very best. With this informa
tion came pamphlets which are filled
out and sent to the college. On these
are the expenses and receipts from
your flock. By filling out these reports
the interest of the member is kept up
in his flock, for he wishes to overcome
expenses.
My first year In club work was a
success for I not only had my chickens
but they were laying 100 per cent dur
ing the winter months.
Last year I continued my club work
with even better results. The men
sent out by the O. A. C. are of great
help to members, and are the great
factor in making club work successful.
The work brings one in contact with
nature. It Is of great interest to
watch the fowl and note Its habits as
it matures.
My. birds were exhibited at our fair
and I concluded my work by going
with them to the state fair at Salem as
a prize won here.
I know that club work is one of the
greatest educational advantages con
nected with the school and I will con
tinue in it as long as possible.
I also know that this work is a suc
cess, for it not only gave me profits
but also the beginning of a good flock
of chickens. NED WOLD.
