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

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.

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

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

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

fellowman. And there you arc. Indeed
