PXGE FOUR MTCTWORD MAIL TRTBTJNTC. MEDFORD, - .. - - H GFOQD ROADS AID TROUT FISHERMEN It's fiiihln' time get out the rod and reel and see. that thoy are In shape. Millions of trout and other fish have been planted In the streams of tho west in the last few years, liy government and state, which Insures good fishing for many years to come. The authorities aro doing their part to increase fishing throughout the country. Fishermen must do their part and not take fish that aro undersized. If these undersized fish are allow ed to grow they will be big enough to make a "mess," In a fow years and all fishermen gain just that much. Automobiles and good roads have made good fishing streams harder and harder to find. Streums that once teamed with fish aro now practically barren, In spito of the efforts of state and gov ernment officials to plant thorn. Much of this of course Is duo to tho fact that fish aro taken be foro thoy are full grown. "There Is no more fun on oarth than fishing," stated E. W. Fuhr, regional manager of, Chevrolet Motor company, recently. "The out-of-doors feature alono Is worth the effort, then If tho effort Is rewarded with a flno mess of trout or other fish thoro is nothing that so satisfies tho soul of the angler. There's a thrill in hooking a big one and playing him until he is captured. "We In tho west have a great advantage. - Mountain streams are only a few hours away, and those who care to walk away from tho main traveled roads can ulwuys come back with the limit," Plucked Estates Bttito Treasurer Kay hfiH done tho state a Be r vice In calllnn at tention to the looting of CKcheated 4'Mtates by men whoHe duty It ia to administer and conserve them. 'While Mr. Kay's expose Is convinc ing, It Is not new. Tho public, especially those of the legal pro fession, have been aware thut It Is always open season on such es tates and that when no lntoreHted heirs are concerned It has been an easy matter to dissipate ohUUgs before a final accounting is re turned. It is a subject that intorests us in two of its aspects. Tho IckuI Intent to dispose of unclaimed es tates by. turning them over to tho Htato school fund Is based on the sound policy of using them to tho greatest advantage for the public welfare. Hvery dollar that is un justly withhold from this fund either cripples tho schools to that extent or adds to the burden of taxation. The schools aro entitled to the money, but those who ad minieter tho estates aro not on titled to it legally or morally, ex cept to meet actual expensos, with out padding, and to such fees as have boen established by law. The other phase of this situa tion, that merits discussion is tho complacency with which the melting of estates has been car ried on, and winked at by those not directly affected. Mr. Kay's report Indicates that such abuses us ho points out have beon gen eral. Comparatively few estates lire escheated but, when ono Is, thoro are plenty of willing hands to pluck It as clean as possible bo furo turning over to tho stato a minimum that has escaped every thing except outright embezzle ment. It Is "nobody's monoy," so those who aro In a position to do so use every artifice to seo that It finds nn nppreclutlvo owner, and. some of tho. prolmto courts Hie decidedly lenient In passing extravagant expense Items. It is impossible fur attorneys who engage In such practices to justify themselves to any extont whatever. Failure of legal heirs to appear does not mako tho money theirs and does not mako tho.looso handling of It any the. less reprehensible. Tho examples that Mr. Kay cites aro convincing evidence of a condition that courts and reputable lawyers should Join in onding. Mr. Kay proposes, as stato treasurer, to file objections to final accounts in which ques tlonablo disbursements nro Includ ed. JOven tho publicity that ho has given tho pubject will holp, for it is a rocord that will not stand public scrutiny. He soems well on his way toward shutting off this sourco of easy money for favored Individuals and diverting It Into the Irreducible school fund whore It belongs, Oregonlan. POPPY SALES GIVE JOY TO THE LIVING Memories of the war dead nl ways bring thoughts of thoso who did not dlo but came back doom ed to years of hardship and suf fering, sometimes worse than death.

The Dandelion: Never Says 'Die'; Gives Lesson in True Persistency HuppoHn we do a little suppos ing. Suppose William Uecbe or Hoy Chapman Andrews or sninu HUeh scientist nnd explorer wore to nunouneo that from somo re mote region lie had brought buck a. rare flower, a chichoriaceous plant, which, for tho want of a better name, Is to bo known oh tho Taraxacum taraxacum. And suppose, too, that this flower real ly woro rnre, and not tho cum- luif.ltf n,....niHnt u, lit.. It. In Dm fninlllfii. n'uuf.f1n(.fi.n i h n t ' broods lack of deserved reverent appreciation, wo know us tho dan delion. Would wo not valuo it highly ? Would wo not lovo it and cherish it? For in truth, tho dandelion real ly is a chichoriaceous plant, If that means anything to you; and uny dictionary will provo to you that it Is Indeed tho Tarnxacum taraxacum. Wo should respect and value It accoi dinKly. Hut merely because it is ns numerous us tho stars of the heavens that declare tho glory of Gud, nnd as common as sunbeams and as freo us skylurk songs, wo do not hold It In high esteem. And - th oho persons who tako their lawns seriously nro especial ly hoHtito to this charming little flower with tho ferocious name. They nro tho persons who, with that mistaken virtue which cher ishes singleness of purpose only to attain a 1 -track mind, look upon tho lawn ns it place where grass should grow. Those of us who nro a little Inclined to com promise with some of l-ile's diffi culties and futilities, and hence call ourselves broad-minded and tolerant, have permitted ourselves grow so lowly in tho grass. Which, of course, may be tolernnce, or it may he simple weakness. For Indeed, It is much easier to ac cept the dandelion than to ex terminate It. Homo persons there arc those with crusading proclivities who lake themselves and their lawns serluuHly. Not having windmills to tilt against, they attempt to eradicate dandelions from their lawns. Hut It would bo much easier, and nn doubt fully as vir tuous, merely 'to lovo tho dande lions. After (ill, wo mako a great deal of hard work and solf rlghtemiH austerity over a lot of arbitrary moral hurdles and hand icaps, Children love dandelions, nnd you can't fool the children. Ono might speculate on tho relation ship between tho primordial in stinct for the worship of tho sun and tho universal fondness of children for Ihese yellow flowers with thVlr raylike manning of tho petals on tho flower-head. Harbinger or (ho Scum tit Tho robins aro as busy as over with their melodious assurances, but it is not on their account that wo vaunt our faith in spring's re turn. Wo havo a surer sign. The dandelion pickers. You seo them with their baskets, stooping in. the vacant bits, gathering a -mess of greens for the evening meal. And you see them on the aristocratic lawns, wedding them out with rut bless and u a poetic' determlna tlnn. Anil you see tho little chil dren plucking them for their flowers and for their stems that make such beautiful curls. For the dandelion pickers aro of all classes and conditions nnd they The dandelion opens tho door for spring, but you cannot bo ab solutely sure that the season has come until the dandelions havo come In such quantities as to al lure tho pickers. Ono swallow does not make a summer, or a dandelion or two a. spring. But when they come In crowds when you can look out upon the green-; award and seo them marching j across the fields nnd their myriads of yellow banners fluttering, you may put all doubts asleep spring Is here. 1 A cautions but sudden Invader of the soil Is tho dandelion. -As ono poet has expressed It: 1 Upon a showery night and still Without a word of warning, A tropper band surprised the hill I And held it in the morning. j We were not waked by bugle notes. No cheer our dreams Invaded, And yet at dawn their yellow coats j On the green slopes paraded. j Very pleasant pictures tho dan- I delion pickers present, moving ! about on the lawns or on tho rug- ged slopes of vacant lands pic-1 tures thut uwaken dreams of old days when our hearts were full of natural yearnings, beforo tho shadows of, the world's prison house began to closo us in. Some times we seo them In groups of two and throe, bending und pick ing, and then we recall Millet's "Gleaners," and Ruth, "amid the alien corn." Tho School of Survival Do the dandelions go- to school? By some curious means these same little dandelions learn aomo very cunning trlcka. In the early spring when tho blooming yellow things appear among tho grass, almost welcome because of tho colorful relief, the man who keeps a lawn buckles on his coveralls and drags forth his lawn mower to battle. Whr-r-r goes the engine of destruction and off come the heads of dandelions long beforo tho golden threaMs have had a chance to turn to gray. The next act Is a repetition of the first. Those dandeJlons come back, perhaps not so tall and stately as was tho earlier genera tion, but with impressive strength and number, Tho man who takes his la"n seriouslv mows the lawn again. Three or four more mowings. The dandelions continue to die and at the same time contlnuo to live and, what Is worse, bloom. Yes, and the wise little plants bloom on such short stalks that their smiling faces aro right down on the ground. Tho lawn mower comes along; it passes over; and the dandelion keeps on smiling. By this time the Irato pusher of the lawn mower resorts to the grubbing boo or dynamite, accord ing to his temper. But tho dan delion keeps a sunny disposition) through it all. How did tho little dandelion learn to bloom on Buch short stems that only tho most extromo measures can keep it from prut ducing seed? It must have learnr ed that most vuluablo lesson soino1 place. And this school whore the dan-i dcllons go is tho ono whero tho burdock children lenrn tho same to have a fondness for theso little I toil for various ends and alms yellow flowers of miring which ' Including dandelion wlno.

The burdocks are stupid folks, but they must be given a high grade In tho long evity test. Hasn't every farmer boy found out to his sorrow that continual cutting of burdock only makes the nuisance grow closer to the ground so that It Is harder to cut? Hasn't every farmer boy been sent back to do the Job over und told to take a pickaxe or a spade to keep him company? How sad memories do linger. Many queer folks go to Nature's school and many aro the queer lessons they learn. There the cocklebur learns to produce Its burs beforo the killing frost conies, no matter how small the plant may be. There tho corn plant learns to tassel If It Is only a foot high, and the oats and other grasses to make their flowers and seeds despite the drought and poor soil. True, the seed may be hardly more than chaff. It may hot grow. But the plants have learned how to struggle against adversities, and they do tho best they know. I IS Since the new Durant four went on display a few days ago in the showrooms of Sabln & Rindt, lo cal Durant dealer, many havo call ed to see this new .Durant cre ation and they have been busy demonstrating the riding qualities, the power and tho easo of hand ling of the new Durant. Word has been received from Norman DeVaux, presiding and general manager of the Western Durant factory that everywhere throughout the west the new Dur ant four has won favor with tho public. "The factory has more than 400 orders on file now and because they are increasing so rapidly 100 men. In addition to our regular forces, have been add ed to the payroll. The Western Durant plant In Oakland Is oper ating at capacity and there Is every indication that May will be one of the biggest months In our history." "The majority of those who al ready have visited our show rooms havo been amazed at tho roomi ness of the new Durant four cyl inder five-passenger sedan, which accommodates six with easc,' said Mr. Sabln. "The public has shown much interest in the fact that the new Durant is a big car but that its price is that of a small one. For instance, the sedan, with 112 inch wheclbase, fully equipped and delivered here, is priced within $20 of the corresponding model in tho Ford line. "The new Durant, with Its 200 cubic inch Bed Seal Continental motor, . has ample power for 70 miles an hour and for climbing hills with easo; its now steering gear has a high ratio which ellm-Inates-tho fatigue of driving long distances and its striking appear ance' has won for It much favor able comment." 1 GENEVA, May 24. P) The QUALITY r IS BEST POLICY raiue Beyond Approach No matter what particular model of the Grahim catches your fancy, you will find it is an exceptional value.
