KINDERGARTEN BILL COMING
The proposal of Portland club wo-
men to put a bill before the legisla-
ture this fall for the establishment
of kindergartens throughout the
state is deserving of the heartiest
support.
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

Butters. 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

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?

The outstanding value of the Hudson and Essex line is the
Coach.
Hudson-Essex has specialized on this car until the
Coach is the largest selling six-cylinder closed car in the world.
It is unmatched volume that enables Hudson-Esse« to offer this
Coach at thia price. The Coach is exclusive to Hudson and Essex.
Both Hudson and Essex cars are built in the same plant, un­
der similar patents, by the same management, and to an identi­
cal standard of material, workmanship and exacting inspection.
Both cars now have genuine balloon tires as standard equip­
ment. With them the east of riding is simply amazing. Hudson
Essex has not merely "added bnloon tires.” If has designed
■toering gears and other vital parts so that the balloon tires have
become an integral part of the car’s mechanism. Ihese are the
easiest steering and the steadiest riding cars Hudson ever built.
While Hudson-Ess*« are unmatched in Coach values, they
also have open cars of exceptional quality for those who desire
them. There is the Essex touring car for five passengers, the
Hudson speedster for fogr five passengers, and the large seven­
passenger Hudson phaeton
Hudson sedans thia year are more beau’iful than ever before,
let the prices are around $1,600 less than would be expected.
The two Sedans are ’espectively five and seven passenger.
The Hudson Essex line of cars covers an exceptional wide
price range, fine of them will meet the needs of almost any pur­
chaser. All are outstanding value and should be seen before
any ear is bought.
