We Can't Help Being Alarmed
"Perspiration" Counts
Pluggers, Not Geniuses, Wanted .
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. ...

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.
