V Character rather than scholarship ratings ' installed in some of the public schools meets the approval of the Roseburg News-Review, I which comments: "The world is sick and I tired of brilliant geniuses who act on a steady by jerks' principle.- It wants instead good re liable pullers who are working every hour to get results. In the long run these folks get there while half of the geniuses get. tired and quit. - Yet the fact is that without geniuses we would have no - electric lights, telephones, radio or flying machines. We would have no real poetry or romance. And had it not been yf or persistence to the point of starvation by a Goodyear there would today be no vulcanized rubber, overshoes or automobile tires. We need pluggers and -we have to have geniuses. Yet it was Thomas Edison who said: "Gen ' ius is two per cent inspiration and 98 per cent . perspiration." . Getting the Facts Government Studying Farm and House Problems . ; Fifty-three separate studies dealing with ' ; various phases of farm electric service are now ' under way in 22 government experiment sta ; tions and agricultural colleges. Problems of rural electric service and the "( economical application of electricity to farms 1 and farm houses, are matters of national im ." portance. Precise data on the performance I and cost of electrical equipment must be tab , ulated, and it is toward this end that many of ; the investigations are now being directed. I ; The work being done by the government and agricultural colleges is being supplement ed by the committee on relation of electricity ; to agriculture, upon which are representatives of U. S. department of agriculture, commerce : and interior, the American Farm Bureau fed- eration, National Grange, American Society ! of Agricultural Engineers, Farm Lighting : Manufacturers' association and National Elec- trie Light association. Now that a carrier pigeon and a navy bird at that has violated all the traditions of its kind by stealing a 40-mile ride in an auto ' mobile while on its way to deliver a message, the world may be prepared for almost any ,. thing in the way of shattered illusions. One ( always expects a carrier pigeon to fly on through clouds, stormsi thunder and lightning, and fall exhausted at the feet of its owner ! with the fateful message tied around its neck or to its foot, whichever place pigeons carry ' messages. Next thing we know the North j west Mounties will fail to get their man, or the marines will land without getting the situation 1 well in hand. ... -ssSffl FLORENCE. MlTt VlNtEStT 9 Bee On Spider? - "Good nature, like a bee. col lects honey from every herb; 111 nature, like a spider, sucks poison from the sweetest flower." We do not kuo-v who penned these Tords. but do h'm honor. The simile la inoU excellently chosen. Bee la. essentially, a lover oT the sunshine. Spider prefers tho !om. Bee, winging Its way among tha blossom, hums contentedly at It work, murmurs its eternal grati tude for peace on eir h and gor.l will toward Its fellowr. Spider spins a zjossa.acr web In a cranny of the old .ttone wall an t then, lounge lizard of Insectlanl, alta him down In the middle of and waits to pounce upon some unwary, unwarned passerby. Bee reckons not ttselt at all, but concentrates Its efforts upon the welfare of Ha race, unceasing ly, uncomplainingly spends its life for others. Spider's chief Interest la hi In satiable appetles; h1a one concern the fulfilling of bis own desires. Bee, pacifist at lieart. fights when It must to save Itself and its precious store of pollen, but does not attack maliciously and neither envies nor pilfers a fellow toller's treasure. Strong 1 the offering of the ! herb. Bee cares not, -powrtbly does not even notice the unpleasant tang, but with that mysterious al chemy so peculiarly Its own trans forms the bitter Into sweet. Spider, crafty and cruel in his avowed purpose, drink greedily of the wine of the sweetest flower only to find It turn to venom In his mouth. Oocd nature on the darkest day creates its own sunshine. Ill nature casta a shadow In the brightest spots. Good nature lightens labor, les sens friction, makes U is of a "Job" and more of a pleasure of the endless dally grind. Ill nature Is a block beneath the wheels of progress, a deter rent to worth while work or worth while friends or worth while happiness. Ill nature seethes and rabbles in the cauldron of the soul until reason la maddened by Its f umea. heart deadened by its gasses. Then 111 humor Imbibes lis own brew nd breathes forth deadly gases. Sometimes It Is reputation ill nature aeeka to damn; again It may be Joy that It deliberately plans to destroy. Good nature unconsciously of ten ignores the contentious, the unpleasant, looking for and find ing the best that even the worst may boast. Ill nature cutIs Its lip at Inno cence, scoffs at good Intentions, arches Its eyelrrow and belches forth slantljr, whipped on by. its own ugliness to search for the like in all others. Like the bee, good nature's. con tribution to existence is construc tive. Ill nature Is the spider, .plot ting to trap the (helpless in Its net, spreading Itself In wreaking harm at every self-made opportunity. One day he went up and couldn't find his way down. - The boss missed him and called up to him: "Pat," he said, "why don't you come down?" "I dun't know tho way," replied Tat.. ... .....,. . "Why, come down tha way you went up." "Faith and IUl not." said Tat. "Suro I camo up head first." "Look -a -here, porter," said the Irate, man, sticking his head out of an upper fcerch on a Pullman, "you've brought me one tan ahoe and one black one." "Well! I'se getting mighty ca'less. all right," remarked the portor, with a puaxled air: "that's the second time that'a happened this mornln'." Dinner Stories During an epldemlo of cholera on board a sailing vessel years ago so many men died that the doctor Just made a chalk mark on the. hunk where the occupant was to be hurled. . One supposed corpse protested loudly when he discovered he was about to be hurried at sea. "Rut I'm not dead, don't you see?" mid he. "Oh, shut up," was the reply. "Do you suppose that you know better than the doctor?" An Irish hodearrlor was carry ing mortar to the top of a sky scraper which was being built. The proper temperature for a warm, refreshing bath la 90 to 8 degrees. This should alwaya be followed by a cold sponge or a shower. Rubberized white sheeting has been suggested for kitchen win dow curtains. It does not be come limp from etoam and can be cleaned with a cloth and warm, soapy water. Scalloping a valance seema to be the popular trend Just now. An upholstered braid can be used to a good advantage for this pur pone, and 1t Is Inexpensive and easily put on. For a quickly made and yet de licious. pudding use graham crack ers Instead of bread. Make Just as one does bread pudding and add a few chopped dates. Serve with or without whipped cream. Mignonette should be planted only for cutting. It ahould be planted where it la to grow, aa it has a tap root, and does not bear transplanting well. ' White Pearl Is one of the best varieties to buy. i 1 i In buying petunia aeed you study ' what you want to use It for for cutting, for effect 1n the garden, or, as an inexpensive fill ing for your porch boxes. For the latter purpose there Is nothing I know of that excels It. It will 'bloom under the moat discourag ing circumstances. SOCIETY- (Continued From Fae Throe) organisation.
