It 1h easy for us to give up something we have never had and to sot tho example of using what we havo always used. v i . Tho 10 year old Oregon, City school girl, who eloped with a butcher of 4a, was underweight, did not get enough protein In her mush, or shlnglo in the woodshed. Who remembers when tho valley had no Irrigation, and the farmers prayed for rain in August, and got it in December? Mah Jongg is rapidly spreading and the spirit of tho game Is fiiHt penetrat ing most of society circles. (Marsh Jield News). Fenotratlng is right. In tho sad story of Tho HI ho and Catching of Mr. Pali, one reads that Mr. Doheny, oil king, who loaned him 9100,000, at an Inappropriate time, "is a close friend of Fall's." Tho amount of tho loan indicates that Mr. Doheny was not alone close, but ab normally tight. $20 gold pieces are showing up ' again In banks, and on watch chains. The prize fool notion, of thu leading fool notion belt of tho Union, is tho revolutionary statement of our weep ing stato lecturer and governor, that 'a man's home is no longer his castle" t nothing matters but tho enforce ment of the Prohibition law, and the corralling of votes. This knocks tho sanctity of the fireside, and tho Con stitution for a row, with ono move ment of tho Inrnyx. It would be nice to have nit-wit snoops, running hog wild thru tho parlors, and tho bed rooms, and tho kitchen, unhampored even by tho formality of knocking, or wiping their feet.

WHY EXCEED rnp 0 SAV THAT the people of X the sudden action of the county court in ordcringi,he paving of the highway between Medford and Ruch, would be stating the ease mildly, ' The county court lias been accused of many things in the past, but never before of exceeding the speed limit. Heretofore humble peti tioners who have desired a few chuck holes filled here, or a few loads of gravel placed there, have found But here, with the most important road improvement since the construction of the Pacific Highway which will undoubtedly cost the taxpayers of the county, several hundred thousand dollars before it is completed, the county court makes its decision in 24 hours! AVhy such haste? The first intimation most of the people of the county had of such a highway, was only a few days before the county court met. when petitions iiririiitr the county court took the matter under advisement, no one suspected that the decision would be made in 2-i hours. Naturally they won der why, if the decision could be made on Thursday, 'it could not have been made the day before. "Well, undoubtedly it could have been. According to our informa tion this matter has been under consideration for a long time. But for some reason publicity was not desired. Those back of the move ment, decided to (juicily perfect their plans, spring the thing sud denly, and put it over with a bang. AVell, that is what they have done, and wc congratulate them. The scheme was cleverly conceived and admirably executed. We don t blame the people of Jacksonville and Kueh, and some of our friends in Medford for wanting a pavement. Now they have it. Let the merry massacre of the tax payer continue. But let's agree on one thing call a halt on this high tax yailers' chorus. In particular let us have no more talk from any of those 1500, that is the number we believe, who .so blithely signed the petition. One thimr is certain; taxes in Jackson county can be reduced, and pavements in tho rural districts can both can't he done. In our judgment 'building a pavement from Medford to Rueh at llie present time, is at the best, an unwarranted extravagance. But a friend of the county court assures us the people of the eounty as a whole want it. Perhaps so. Hut if they do, then let them stop want ing lower taxes. Tax reduction, like charity, must begin at home, and no one can both have his cake and eat it. QUILL Piny: Any kind of work you Tho chief objection to tho white inn 't collie.

TTiiH question could have been ans wered much better 100 years ago. The doctor would have "explained" that the "blood was out of order" and needed "purifying." Or that the "sys tem was full of humours," or some thing equally enlightening. Then he would have prescribed about 28 medi cines combined in one stupendous "blood tonic." The almanacs still be lieve in tho "blood purifier" for what there Is in It for the firm. No one else does. Fortunately for the morals oC the race, hygienic living Is the only real purifier of the blood. In order to account for a crop of boils we must first endeavor to trace Die origin of boll No. 1. We find, that boils are produced By various species of germs which commonly exist upon tho skin, even under the most cleanly personal habits. If the skin is broken, even by a slight punc ture or abrasion, ns by tho rubbing of a scam or a cureless scratching with the finger nail, there is an opening for a grand boil. , A sort of charity boil you might call It. given fop the bene fit of the homeless and friendless staphylococci and streptococci. These here now staphs and streps are only moderately virulent or vil lianous ordlnnr-ly. Hut after they have been dined and wined for a time by the kindly host they become much more so, and from this period onward they will make trouble they or their descendants on the slightest provo cation. Tho fingers of tho host con vey them from the primary seat of invasion to other favored localities. and tho germs will find' a way, once they are, so to speak, urged to the task. The cause of crops of boils is rein fection by careless handling. If you touch your boll, your fingers are con- JUST TOWN TALK iv - Orpled Right Ilj Mike .

In the variety of sentimental ex ne.nene.ea which every girl encounters. there always remains the memory of the Pouter the man who huikpu when he couldn t have his o'w n wny. The jolly little trad 1 1 i o n that love makes a woman a slave to the whims and caprices of the hero of the com edy has heen dead a lonp, lonff time. MoHt men realize it. Ah, hut not the pou ter! There is the " fellow who sulks hooause his lady chooses to dance with.' aome: .other fellow once In a whije. )oes our friend the pouter po and engage another damsel and whirl off gaily in the magic maze of the dance? Not a hit of it. He gets more soulful satisfaction, or something, by taking out his disap pointment or his selfish discomfort In going off to a corner and sulking and pouting like a child. It is a little hit, Oust a wee bit flattering to the girl, when it happens the first time. But habitual fits of pouting and sulk ing become Insufferably annoying. The pouter seems to pour out an atmosphere of poison, and everybody in tho vicinity is made uncomfortable. And the sad thing about the pouter Is that hp Is well-nigh Incurable. Mar riage doesn't cure him that makes him all the worse, ire's just made j that way, and ho Is deserving of pity, although the pouter, whose underly ing psychic blot is suspicion, doesn't usually succumb to the softening in fluence of pity." Hut there must be something of a virtuous order in men of this character. The pouter seems always to attract the prettiest and the nicest girls. When I pause to reflect upon it. maybe it Is that they becom" pouters because they do attract the prettiest and nicest girls. In which case, my children, I'm afraid there is no moral to adorn the tale today. , Beware of Imitations!
