Tillamoolc State Press Flashlights. - • One reason why money is so scarce in Willamina this spring is because most of it goes to Sheridan to buy hay. A great deal of stock is kept here and a short crop works a hard- ship.—Willamina News. The largest sponge ever found came from the Mediterranean. It was three feet across and measured ten feet in circumference. That sponge is big alright but cannot hold a candle to the big sponges to be found in American politics. There world beat ers.—Astorian. ------ o------ The transient merchant ordinance which was» passed by the city council the first of the week provides a licen se fee of $25 per day for that class of merchants doing business in the city hereafter. The measure is similar to that in operation at Salem only differ ing in the amount of the license fee, which is only half the amount of the Salem ordinance.—Yaquina Bay News. A statement made to the Sheridan Sun that 2200 automobiles passed ever the toll road between that place and Tillamook last July alone is suf ficient evidence that a new road that will eliminate the toll proposition is an economic necessity. The fees alone for traveling on this toll road would go a long way toward making a free road possible.—Polk County Observer. . ------ o An exchange truthfully says that the only guarantee that any individual or organization can have of living in peace under the American flag is to be earned by obedience to American law and conformity to the spirit of American civilization. This applies partially to Protestant, Romanist, Jew, Anglican, Greek, and to ev^ery shade of skin or creed. This discrimi nates against no man’s religion.—Tel ephone Register. I ■ £ B k K ■ The Condon, Oregon, Globe chron icles that the life of an editor was saved the other day by a silver dollar he carried in his pocket. A crank shot him and the bullet hit the dollar. The coincidence leads the editor of that paper to remark further: “Now should we happen to get shot before you pay up your subscription and there is no silver dollar to stop the bullet, we shall always presume that you might have saved our life.” Evidently the seamen of the Ameri can steamer Frye did not hold any particular resentment against the of ficers and crew of the German cruiser which sunk their ship and made them virtually - - prisoners, for the dispatches relate that they have chipped in and bought several kegs of the German national brew, and a number of boxes of cigars and sent them to the Eitel Friederick. Not much enmity can be assumed when such presents are ex changed.—Umpqua Valley News, their tails replaced by a herd of dairy matrons that tax the capacity of milk cans at every milking. It is the boy who dreams who sees a waving corn field where the cat tails are growing, who sees a woven wire fence in (dace of the hedge, and a new cow barn where the cow shed is falling to pieces. We need more dreamers O'l the farm.—Ione Journal. ----- o------ Fifteen years ago Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, was en- gineer in an electric light plant in Detroit. Charley Murphy, the base ball engineer, was a reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer. Thomas H. Inc, the motion picture magnate was a comic opera comedian, glad to get $50 dollars a week. Charlie Wecgh- man, owner of the Chicago Federal baseball team and a string of restau rants, was a waiter in a quick lunch room. And so it goes. The list could be strung out to a column’s length. Therefore when you hear a boy or a young man complain he hasn’t a chanc take him by the arm and tell him a few things. There never was a time in the world’s history when there was more opportunities for a young man to push to the front. There never was a time when a little intelligence and determination would provide a man with a competence in a few years, This is particularly true in the farm- ing business—for farming is a Busi- ness. The young man of today who will take hold of a farm with the idea of making it the best farm in the country and who will work intelligent ly for ten years, with that idea always before him, will not have to work for the remainder of his life.—News Re porter. Just to be Honest, That’s All. One of our friends was heard ex pressing himself in pretty strong language the other day over there having been introduced in the legis lature several hundred bills. He said: “It's absurd. Our entire law-making bodies, even national, are absurd. We have too many laws now-. Drop into any attorney’s office and sec the score of books filled with laws to govern us And we are told that the ignorance of the law excuses no one. How on earth is a fellow to know what the law is? Even a lawyer, who makes it his business to know the law, dosen’t know the law. How, then, are we who niver devote an hour's study to our laws to know them? Prety good argument, that. A whole lot of truth in it. Bu after all the gentleman need have no fear of violating the law and getting put be hind the bars if he acts right. Take all the multitude of laws and put them together, sum them up and you will find the sum total to be: Act •honest, square and just with your fellowman. And there you arc.
