Cass, who won a reputation as a student, poet and philosopher while at the University of Oregon, and who is now winning laurels as an educator, is adding further renown to his "scutcheon" as a (devote of the muse of poesy. Mr. Cass has won a prize jn a contest put on by The Shovel, a house ortran issued - by the Rock Springs Coal Co. By the following poem, called "A Rock Springs Ro mance," Mr. Cass has'won third prize: There was a maid that livedlout West, Who with no suitor had been blessed. Rut was that cause for her to sob. While Rock Springs Coal was on the job? On one cold night our maiden wise, She fed a "friend" on hot mince pies, With Rock Springs Coal she kept her home So none who came would care to roam At last the darinc man irrew bold. You burn that Kock springs uai, I'm told. Which shows you have a durned good head, Will you be mine?" was all he said. And then he whispered with his fitfh, "I'll eive vou as a wedding gift. Five tons of Rock Springs Coal so clean. And we'll be warm thru fat and lean." In a letter answering a request for a photograph, Mr. Cass breathes the spirit of a style similar to mat 01 u. Henry.

The product is shipped here over the line of the Mount -Hood Rail road and routed from here over the Union Pacific. "Heretofore." says Ashley Wilson. "we have hauled numerous carloads of hay into the apple districts, but never before have we had a surplus to ex port." L. A. E. Clark Offers Services L. A. EJ. Clark, aged 53, a retired rancher of the Odell district, returned home last week bitterly disappointed, Mr. Clark, who recently sold his orch ard place, came to the city for the avowed purpose of offering his services to his country. He visited the office of Capt Wilbur, there to learn that his country would not accept the services of one so old. "I know I'm pretty old for a fight ing' man," said Mr. Clark, "but can't I be used for some guard work? I am free to leave, and I believe I would be fit for such duty. Dee Progress Marked Progress will be more marked here the coming season in the Dee apple section than in any other district.

TONS NOT SOULLESS Affairs in some of the war-torn na tions today would hardly warrant the general statement that the world is growing better ; and yet normally there is evidence that it is. Two hundred and fifty thousand workmen employed in American industries have had their uvea insured by their employers. This represents insurance policies to the total amount of about S250.000.000. The premiums on these insurance poli cies are paid by the companies for wmcn tne men worx. This system of insurance for. employees, paid for and maintained by the employers, has been srrowinir over a neriod of ahnnt fivn years, but has attracted little public attention. lne whole subject was forced to the front the first of the year by the action of the board of directors of the Union Pacific system, which took out insurance policies covering every one of its employes from 16 to 70 years of age who have been in service one year or longer and who are not re ceiving more than $4,000 a year in salary. This one instance means an insur ance policy of $30,000,000 and includes some 30,000 employes at work on 6,000 miles Of railway. Men and women are included, the office boy as well as the oldest employe. There was no ex amination, notwithstanding the fact that on the first of the year the Union Pacific system had more than two hundred men in its employ who were 65 years of age and over. No distinc tion was made between the clerk in the general office and the men em ployed in hazardous occupations, nor between union and non-union employes. OREGON PROTECTS SOLDIERS PROPERTY The state of Oregon, through a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Wilbur and adopted by the legislature, will protect the property or her soldier boys during a period of war. Mr. Wil bur's bill, which goes into effect on May Zl, will prevent the foreclosure of a mortgage on the property of any soldier or sailor, volunteer or con scripted, or member of the National Guard. One of the first exponents of the military moratorium was Koy D. Smth. I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Piker Oh, I did'nt raise my boy to be a piker, The kind who waits for dad to till the dirt, And lets the other fellow do the fight ing. And hides himself behindhis mam my's skirt. Nor I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier. But if his country needs hinf more than me, Oh, I hope my boy will have the sand and courage, To fight for Uncle Sam and Liberty, Pollyanna in the Oregonian. Glad to Learn of It April's changeable weather causeB colds that lead to expensive doctor bills bills that could be avoided if the cold were checked in time. C. Smith, 1421 12th St., Augusta, Ua , writes; "I got one 25c bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar and my cough and cold is about well. I was glad to learn of a great medicine like that " Foley e Money and Tar en joy such a splendid reputation that it is often imitated. Of course, no substitute or imitation is as good as the genuine. Sold everywhere. Sulphur Burns at Bridal Veil A 40-ton carload of sulphur, ordered by J. C. Butcher for spray manufac ture, was burned last week at Bridal Veil. Mr. Butcher says that because of the surplus of such stock on band he will not be delayed in preparing spray supplies for orchardists.
