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. In the poppy was found
a way to link tho honoring of the
dead with service for tho living

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.

Tho robins aro as busy as over
with their melodious assurances,
but it is not on their account that

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

flowers and for their stems that

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

days when our hearts were full

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

lesson to the discomfiture of the
American farmer. 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.

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."

No matter what particular model of the Grahim catches
your fancy, you will find it is an exceptional value.
As you view it on the salesroom floor anfl study its
points of superiority, you realize that the Graham gives
a measure of worth for which you have been accustomed
to pay considerably more than the Graham price.
But only when you step into a Graham and drive it a
short or long distance, as you choose, will you fully
appreciate what the Graham kind of value means.
