Piiop.e Main 81. WAR FROM THE SOLDIER'S STANDPOINT The following description of war, as it is being earned on in Europe is from the diary of a French soldier. It is valuable because it gives the impression that the soldier in the ranks acquires after he has experienced the horrors of the fighting line and realizes that it is all a senseless nightmare of butchery a carnival of savagry which mocks the boasted civilization of the Twentieth century. Jean Gigot's narative of his experiences at the front is a classic: New York's recent enactment of a more stringent law against highway advertising, with similar legislation in other states and a determined effort to enforce the Pennsylvania law, shows that the disfiguring signboard is becoming more and more unpopular. Whether we shall ever attain as much courage as; Great Britain or Switzerland, where it is generally un lawful to exhibit an advertisement visible from any car-i riage-way, bridle-way or foot-way, and injurious to the; landscape, remains to be seen. J Maybe there is something in the American temper-; anient which delights in such disfigurements. Formerly; the signs chiefly lined the railways' path; with the advent j of the automobile those crying the merits of tires, oils,, horns and brakes along the roads have multiplied. The; pace of the motorist being rapid, these have to be glaring,! and therefore hideously disfiguring to scenery. j It has been suggested in France that the "artists" re-, turn to old-fashioned designs. Watteau painted a "Faith-! ful Shepherd" sign, still preserved as art, and Boilly a: "Gourmet" advertisement that was delightful. But art seems divorced from modern sign boards. with : fur dit'iVreM -lit. l.'llie i.f tile Jii.irv I...1 cuUMt-r-inMrrlu'r. .if eiu'iry.

What a life! And this is the twen-j lielh ceiitnryl I It is in such times ns this, with death rubbinj! elbows on every side, that I appreciate the wonderful gift of a life of peace. This death, it booms audi cra.-hes over our heads, it whistles in our ears, it lies at our feet when the' Ircioh is dynamited. And when 1 see my comrades drop at my side, iea,l urj wounded, how I thank Hod for Ills protection, how 1 lii-uin lo love the home life that nine seemed without end'. WILSON AND INTERNATIONAL LAW Some newspapers are devoting a good deal of space to setting forth the diplomatic attainments of Robert Lans-1 ing, acting secretary of state, who is supposed to have received his training from his father-in-law, John W. Foster, whose experience in statecraft was long and varied. Some of these editors, however, overlook the1 fact that President Wilson himself is no novice in the matter of international law, having devoted years of study and research to the acquiring of such knowledge. Before he was president of Princeton Woodrow Wilson was a professor of jurisprudence and international law in that university and in 18DS he published a condensed history of all the governments of the world under the simple title "The State," which has been since used in Vale and other universities as a standard textbook. As one of our exchanges remarks it is a book that should be in the home of every American citizen. Now is a particularly good time to read it, or to re-read it, if by chance you were so fortunate as to have studied it in your earlier years. The chapters on the governments of England, France and Germany will give a better idea of the conditions which led up to the present upheaval of Europe than almost any other available book because it was written in times of peace when such questions could Ik: calmly and impartially analyzed. There were :1S57 copies of the Daily Capital Journal sent to regular subscribers and sold on the streets Satur day. That's a circulation which the publishers are not ashamed of and best of all it is growing steadily and surely without the aid of any special campaign methods. The second city in the state in size and commercial im portance ought to have the best and biggest newspapers outside of Portland, and the Capital Journal is proving that it has acquired that distinction already. The campaign for a greater army and navy in this, country is on in earnest. Press headquarters have beenj opened and ready-made editorials and news stories are! being sent out to the newspapers. The manufacturers of j war material are no doubt paying the freight. One; Richard Wayne Parker, whose address is Prudential, Building, Newark, N. J.. a congressman, has iust sent a lot of this kind of stuff to the Daily Capital Journal. Why Win. J. Bryan likens Colonel Roosevelt to Helen of Troy is not as clear as it might be. According to Homer, the only historian of that remote age, it was Helen's great beauty that caused all the trouble. Carramja is evidently preparing to follow in the foot steps of his illustrious predecessors. He has already left the mainland of Mexico and has taken up a-position where the route to Europe is open. The Pheasants and Fallisarians are coming to the Salem cherry fair for sure and more than likely the Rosarians and Radiators will be here, too. The Cherrians we have with us always. ft Galley o Fun! HE PROBABLY WAS. Leap year! She was seated in i exiting chair in the parlor and lie jvas seated in her lap. She had but ,ust served him with refreshments inil, man-like, he was for the moinenl auiic content. Outside the vvinu howled gleefully, but the occupants oi the rocking chair cared not. Hulk iiite satisfied with the situation Inside. e slowly she kissed his fore- lead. "Dearest," she said, "1 love you. Xo one else can ever know, not :ven yourself, just how much 1 lovt you how much 1 have always" lovec you always will. You must su.ceei. n the world for my sake; but wheihet you do or not 1 will always love yoi just the same and 1 hope tiiat wt .vill always af ways be together!" He did not at nrst reply lo her, oi respond in any way to her iiiessa.;e o. :ndearme!it. Instead he looker, straight before him into the briii irclight with a dre'atny, far-away ex aression in his eyes. She scmied no ibashed by his silence, however, am liter a few minutes continued: "It will always be a pleasure and i lelight for me to serve you in any ind every way that I can. and in tin cars to come, dear, you will find that ill 1 have said to you is true." Attain she kissed him, not once, bit' naiiy times, and drew him close tc er heart. .Man-like he did not understand al hall that the full meaning of hei .ords stood for. H: simply acceptec :er love as quite the natural tiling :1c made no promises as to his future -whether he would try his best k iicceed in the world or not. In stead he stirred a little, and saic something she could not quite utnler. stand. "What is it, my oivncst own?" sin ;ooed lovingly, pressing her velve :hevk rapturously against his. He returned her caress almos mutely, yet certain munmirou: sounds came from his lips which tin woman's unutterable love interprets jright. She looked into his eyes, her ow full of concern; "Are you hungry again?" sh isked. "Goo goo!" repeated the baby. Cos Slave Convenience with Kerosene Hot in Your Kitchen?

The Oregon Farmer talks most sensibly when it calls attention to the fact that it is quite a temptation, when one reads that the United States egg crop sold for seven hundred million dollars last year, to lay glowing plans for getting rich from the product of the poultry yard. Yet comparatively few succeed in making chickens pay on a large scale, but small flocks are nearly always profit able. This is the dill'erence between theory and' practice, for on paper the big poultry farm always pays. The trouble lies in the fact that comparatively few people are fitted by nature and practice to specialize in this particular branch of livestock. Some are, and they succeed. For those who are not, it is belter to have several strings to their bows. A few cows, a few hogs, enough fruit and some chickens will support a family comfortably on a small place. Until one's ability along one particular line develops sirongty, u is wise lo go slow on the specializing. nipiiHe lli'inld: M.
