There is no doubt that in the early years of a child’s life he receives the most lasting impressions. The things that are taught him then are rarely forgotten. The question arises then, »re ail children given the right im pressions during these years? There is no reason why we should set six years as the age at which a child should begin to learn. He be gins long before that, but the trouble is that he does not always learn cor rectly. When a child reaches the “question asking” age he is too apt to be told by a busy mother to “run »long.” So much could be done then toward establishing the fundamentals of knowledge for a child if paren*s would only take the time. But ‘he truth is they seldom do. The kindergarten, which really »mounts to an instructive play time for the children prepares their minds for school work that is to follow. It gives them an opportunity for a few hours each day to learn through play the things which will be of immeas urable benefit to them as they grow older. Kindergartens have proven a suc cess in the cities and there should be no reason why they would not be equally successful in the small towns. Press Comment PAGE bobbing fever might cool off. But changes of that kind in the human physique tend to come rather slowly, and the average person might guess that it would take quite a number of genera! ions to bring it about. Up to date the girls do not seem to be wor rying much about posterity. If you can convince them that short hair promotes the piquant effect they are after, they are not likely to worry much as to the results to their great great granddaughters. — Roseburg News-Review. Sixteen million civilians turned out for Defense day. That was an excel lent showing for the first time such an event was ever observed. In case of war the majority of the other nine ty million could be depended upon to do their share.—Telephone Register. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ford spent sev eral days here last week visiting with old friends and attending the fair. They returned to their home in Tilla mook on Friday. They spoke of the many improvements in the town since their last being here.—Coos County American. Any republican is true to his colors who gives Coolidge credit for the re cent beautiful showers. Anyway they will make it soft for him in Ore gon.—Hanisburg News. Oregon has produced more world champion dairy cows than any other state in the Union. This is possible both because of natural conditions and the fact that some of our citizens have devoted their lives to improving the quality and productiveness of these cattle. They work not only for their own good, but for the benefit of an almost endless chain of people who are helped by dairying.—Polk County Itemizer. That Illinois preacher who pois oned his wife that he might marry another woman who poisoned her husband that she might marry the preacher can hardly expect immunity by reason of tender age. He was the father of three children and his ob ject of illicit love was also the moth er of three. He will probably excuse himself, as so many preachers who have gone astray have already done, that a preacher is but human after all and possesses all the passion of the human race. The fact is he was not “born again,” and retained all the instincts that fit him for the gal lows, the logical end of a criminal life.—Sheridan Sun. REGARDING PIONEER NAMES To the editor: Sir, I wish to cor rect some errors made by the de scendants of the early pioneers of your prosperous and fine country in the names of some of the places. I am one of four living who emigrated to Tillamook in 1854. Our family was the seventh to settle there just sev enty years ago this fall. I was seven years old. In the first place the name Hoquarton was never pronounced by the Indians Hoquarton and it was the name of the prairie on which your beautiful town is built. Hoquarton was never the name of the town. Neither was it ever called, Yellow Dog Town, except in a joking way by a few. We called it the Landing for several years and then named it Lin coln, until in establishing a post office, it found there was another town in Oregon by that name and so called it by the beautiful and appropriate name of Tillamook for which I am so glad for we should use the old Indian names as much as possible Washington outdoes us in that, as they have so many more of the Indian and we have had them, names, »»••-- — might - Portland should have been called Multnomah.

Some of us use the minutes and grab the dollars, and,— some of us—grab neither the cents nor the dollars. Some of us worship at the shrine of ten cents and others at the one-dollar shrine. Some worship at no shrine of dime or dollar and grow rich thru labor and thru use of each moment in service to mankind. These latter are the true econom ists.

You meet them every day, almost every hour. They are the ones who say, "but” to every remark made. If you say “it’s a fine day” they remark “ but it looks like rain.” If you say “that’s a fine improve ment” back comes the remark “but it cost too much money.” If you say “business is good” the reply is “but wait until winter and see hard times.” Thus it goes day after day through out life. The world needs honest and sound critcism, some one to hold down those who are too enthusiastic and optimistic. However, the “buter” does not think and is in most in stances just a fault finder, a haggler over trivial details and kill joy. Don’t be a “buter” as it shows lack of in telligence and a lazy brain.— Wheeler Reporter. "---------— ------------------------ REGISTERED STOCK VS. SCRUBS Farmers and stockmen are coming more and more to realize the good business of registering stock for best returns. Only certain animals are eligible for registration and detailed, specific information must be made available to the associations to secure that privilege of entering an animal on the books. Different classes of stock must be entered in different headquarters and a fee is charged for the clerical work in connection with the process. Yet every owner of eli gible stock feels a responsibility to go to the trouble of registration. Registered animals have a higher market value than do scrubs. They are known to produce more. Their value, as a class, extends over the county, state, and even to the pros perity of the whole nation. Judge the economic value to the nation if every animal in every coun ty were registered! Are you registered or are you a scrub?
