VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON Shattered Shrines Cuddle Toys for Gifts Vain search is still being made by the Belgian police for the peo ple who blew up the sacred oak tree at Gembloux, near Namur. This oak was a thousand years old, and is said to have been plant ed by Saint Guibert in the vear 900. This is not the first outrage of the kind. In Washington County, Pennsylvania, stood one of the greatest curiosities in America. This was the so-called "Painted Rock,” a stone altar of enormous age on which were carved figures of men and animals, including the kangaroo, a creature unknown in the New World. Hundreds of learned men had visited the spot to study the carvings and inscrip tions. On a night in July, 1906, a vio lent explosion shook the neighbor hood and in the morning the rock was found to have been blown to fragments.—Pearson’s Weekly. lHe: scan ? behind tue - , ¿ omedi A n —-n-i at ' s PAoay Literate Americans According to a nation-wide sur vey of the reading habits of Amer icans, conducted by Columbia uni versity, the University of Chicago and the American Library associ ation, only half of the adult popu lation can read with ease.

'TujZO/ld Davi/ An Autocrat of the Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Table UT of Vancouver 7 p. tn., reaching Kamaloops Junc- | tion by dawn, and onward into the Canadian Rockies, one of the grandest mountain ranges on the North American Conti nent, it behooves the traveler to breakfast early, lest he miss the splendor of the new-born day, midst snow-capped pin nacles. O On this trip, my traveling com panion, whom I met for the first time at a table spread with a light [ repast of orange juice, British Co lumbia cantaloupe, coffee and toast, : proved to be a psychologist of the ' first class, and also an industrialist ! familiar with all phases of employ ment. His company carried a pay roll of 1,800 men, twenty-six of whom were experts and craftsmen. "It is with engaging these spe cialists that most of my time is occupied,” said he, “and it may amuse you to learn that it is my practice when investigating the fit ness of a candidate to invite him for breakfast, luncheon or dinner, as the case may be, before actual business negotiations are entered into." As it is easier to listen than to ask questions. I allowed the job ad juster to have the floor, confident that he wanted it and had some thing entertaining to offer. Breakfast as a Job Test. Quotations" — V----- Fashions are inseparable from manners; manners from morals; morals from spiritual ideals.— Emily Post. The right mental attitude has a lot to do with a long life.— De Wolf Hopper. Mastery over stlf is not readily won; it is a life-work.— Cardinal Hayes. Art creates what is not and science only discovers what already is.— Albert Einstein. It is good for us, every now and then, to see our ideals laughed at.— Aldous Huxley. You can keep young if you take your blows with your chin up.— Irene Rich. "Now, for example,” he con- tinued, declining cream for his cof fee, “if the applicant is a young man, I invite him to breakfast at my club or a first-class hotel; eight o'clock sharp. If he hesitates or suggests a later hour, I instantly approve, and defer to his every whim when he arrives. But nine | times out of ten, regardless of what ever indorsements he may have ; from others, the barometer, so far as he is concerned, has begun per ceptibly to fall. "Any young man looking for a job, who isn't ready for food at eight o'clock belongs to the class that retires too late the night before, j However. I do not take as an in dication of unfitness any man’s dis inclination to break his fast. If he consumes a good breakfast, as young men should, it is a mitigating circumstance in his favor, but if he has no appetite, no capacity for starting the day with proper nour ishment, he isn't pegged with me for a job on his first performance.

When a man passes forty, he has acquired habits and inclinations that are no other man’s business. Thinking With Their Teeth. "Luncheon! Well, that’s an en tirely different proposition in this age when metabolism, diet and the quest of proper calories are having a widespread fling. Only, I am of the opinion that consumers of heavy food at the noon hour have a tend ency to dullness for a longer period in the afternoon than is consistent with a high percentage of mental activity. I want a man who does not lack capacity to think for him self; otherwise, how can I expect him to think for me? "No intelligent person eats himself out of a job. It has probably oc curred to you that I am dictatorial. On the contrary, I have never, at any preliminary conference with a possible employee, discussed the subject of food or restrained the gentleman in prancing through the entire bill of fare from aperitifs to coffee. I do, however, exercise my observational powers when ne gotiating with one whom I have every hope will measure up to the I position that it is my earnest desire ’ t- bestow. I am not looking for [ misfits, or men who think with their I teeth. I am in search of brains. Dinner Is Supreme Trial. "Now in the matter of dinner or supper, whichever you prefer to call, the third phase, I have become somewhat elastic in my analysis of character as it develops at the din ner table. Here one must take stock of ceremony. We should come to it with high hope that a limited ■ indulgence is essential to enjoyment. I don’t care to dine with a man who evades the opportunity for en joyment that is or should be a prime factor at the dinner table, whether it be set for two or twenty. Always it should be an intellectual, physical and spiritual ceremony, free from discords; something de signed to elate and not to exhaust. "Here, geniality, expanding in proper ratio with the understanding of those present, should reach its maximum. There is no better place to appraise a stranger's capabilities 1 than at the dinner table; no richer atmosphere in which to let him in hale the breath of life. Indeed, the , final test of the three culinary ex- j periments that it pleases me to make is at dinner, to which on oc casions I have asked outsiders the better to observe the effect that strangers have upon the man with whom I expect to have daily asso- | elation.'* all! Delightful cuddle toys, these, and just the soft, warm playthings for a baby’s arms.

MEAT PERFECT AFTER 8 YEARS IN OPEN ROOM Someone should tell Mr. “Belleve- It-or-Not” Ripley this story that comes from John S. Hill, store keeper in South Carolina. “I have now hanging on the back door of my store,” he writes, “a strip of meat smoked with FIGARO Condensed Smoke EIGHT YEARS ago. This piece of meat is ribbed belly, about 18 inches long and 6 inches wide. It is firm, sweet and sound as a dol lar — neither rancid nor spoiled in any manner, and has kept perfectly these eight years. FIGARO is the finest thing I have ever seen for smoking meat. I have been using It ever since it was first put on the market.” (Signed) John S. Hill. Mr. Hill has to buy the meat he cures, so he can not afford to lose any of it. Yet the average farm does lose 50 lbs. every year, be cause the meat S. E. COLGIN is not thorough Discoverer of Process ly smoked. Dur of Condensing Smoie ing cold weather, keeping meat is a simple matter. But when summer comes, or a warm spell during the winter, look out. Rancidness develops. You suddenly find the meat alive with "skippers,” or worms. Green mold appears on it. Or it dries out and hardens. Thorough smoking is the only known way to prevent all these troubles. But how? Everyone knows how uncertain the old smokehouse method is. Other so-called smoking methods, or substitutes for smol»- THE Ing, are likewise risky. How can you tell whether or not the meat is thor oughly smoked? But If you want to HAVEN T IO$T A HAM IH YEARS/ be SURE all your meat will keep perfectly right through the summer months, wash it thoroughly after it comes out of the cure and brush FIGARO Condensed Smoke over every square inch. FIGARO pene trates. It keeps meat from drying out. It positively PREVENTS skip pers, green mold, or rancidness. Flavor? You’ll say the meat is the finest you ever ate. And the cost is less than one-third cent per pound I HAS SMOKED OVER TWO BILLION POUNDS OF MEAT More than 30 years ago, S. Eu gene Colgin, Texas farmer boy, dis covered how to condense smoke to liquid form. With addition of a few ingredients to Improve the flavor, etc., it is called FIGARO Condensed Smoke. Since then, FIGARO has been used to smoke more than two billion pounds of meat I Your dealer has it, or can get it; in 32-oz. size (enough for 500 lbs.), $1.50; or the 16-oz. size, (enough for 250 lbs.), $1.00. But DON’T TAKE CHANCES I Use FIGARO on every pound this year.—Adv. FIGARO Co. DALLAS,TEX.
