Phone Main SI. CROPS AND THE MILKY WAY f F. f!. Rransnn nf the University of North Carolina, speaking of the need of country schools min- j istenng the real neecis 01 country me: "The little world of the country child may reach no further north than the swimming hole, nor further east than the school house, nor further west than the cotton patch, nor further south than the cross-roads store; but overhead it ought to reach as high as the Milky Way and the shining Pleiades. "The school that is not directly and helpfully related to the occupational life out of which it springs and by which it is supported is not progressive. It is unhinged and out of joint. It is ancient, musty and rusty ; befogged, bewildered and belated. Why should a community re ceive a stone when it asks bread of its school? "There is a nearby world of things to be explored; and the knowledge gained quickens and makes alive. There is a near-by world of opportunities and possibilities, puzzles and problems that challenge action, constructive and curative. It is the home community, the home coun try, the mother state. The student who knows his home community thoroughly will interpret New York sanely by and by or the Greece and Rome of glory and grandeur." It is the same plea that Secretary of the Interior Lane made in his annual report, says the Walla Walla Bulletin. It is a part of what Colonel Roosevelt must have had in mind when he appointed his much-abused commission for the study of rural life. It is an appeal for the very sort of public school that has already developed in certain western communities a school absolutely growing out of its environment and training boys and girls to live hap pily and profitably in that environment, instead of mak ing their natural life distasteful and driving them to the big city. . , . It is a type of school that is severely practical in its application to farm or village life, and yet full of noble idealism. And there can be no question that it is the coun try school of the future. THE NAMELESS WOMAN AMERICANS LOSE CITIZENSHIP Though the woman of Korea has not even a name of is simulv called "the daughter of So and So" and after marriage "the wife of So and So, J n f 1 r- II jM1T and if she has sons "the mother ot bo ana &o, sun sne has one rare woman's right which the women of the rest of the world might be glad to get, even in exchange for a multiplicity of names. Vm tho wnmnn nf Korea has a safe crin on her man. He may not be very much, but such as he is she has hinij for her very own. In the towns of Korea no men are allowed on the streets after 8 o'clock at night. When that hour strikes every male must be within doors. ' What wife and mother, sitting alone at night amid all the blessings of occidental civilization and more rights; than she can enumerate, while her husband is gone out to j his club and her son is gone out she knows not where, canj help envying the nameless woman of Korea? In our own country particularly women have more name than they need or is always comfortable to carry.! Especially is this the case after a series of divorces And the divorces are very largely a result of the men's un-; checked liberty to run around at night. No doubt many an American woman has sighed from , her heart with the wish that she had less name ana more husband. Ed L. Keen, the United Press correspondent in Lon don, tells an interesting story of the difficulty this coun try's representatives are having in trying to solve the problem, when is an American not an American? The issuance of passports is one of the embassy's most troublesome duties. Numerous Americans who have re sided in England for ten, fifteen or twenty years decided after the war began, and more particularly after the Zep pelins put London on their calling list, that they had better inquire into their citizenship. All wanted Amer ican passports.. Some wanted to go back to America. Others were bound for France or other comparatively Zeppelin-less climes. There was the rub. Passport officials at Uncle Sam's London address struggled with the problem. The applicants, many of them with English accent, so long had they been out of touch with the Statue of Liberty, were forced to answer imposing lists of questions, which were forwarded to the State Department at Washington. The Department of State, acting on a musty and long unused law, decreed that to be recognized as an American in a foreign country, a person must report to the proper American authorities at various times; duly pay taxes in America if he or she has enough property to be taxed; or make a visit home once in a while. A great many Anglicized Americans had failed in this, in whole or in part. They are now persons without a country. A pass port is required to go 'most anywhere at present. So America's lost citizens are marooned in England. Next week will be letter-writing week in Oregon and everybody should take full advantage of the opportunity to do some safe and sane boosting. Oregon has the finest summer climate in the world just made to order for health and comfort it has attractive scenery which rivals that of the most famous pleasure resorts, and yet millions of people in the east do not know about these things. California derives a great revenue from tourist travel be cause its attractions, though far inferior to those of Ore gon, have been widely exploited. That is the idea that conceived letter-writing week when the people of the state should take the time to write their Eastern friends and acquaintances to spend their summer vacation here, hunting, fishing, visiting, automobile touring or whatever may be their inclination. It is a splendid plan to call Oregon to the attention of the outside world and one in which everybody may join. Speaking of the new paper mill to be built at Oregon City, the Enterprise says: "Mr. Hawley estimates that it will require from a year and a half to two years for the construction of the plant and the installation of the ma chinery. During this construction period three-quarters of a million dollars will be spent and .50 men given work. Much of this great sum of money, it is true, will go to the east for machinery, but much will remain here in the form of wages and in the purchase of supplies."- And now it might be. a good time for the Enterprise to print one of its editorials from the press bureau back east, tell ing its readers how free trade has ruined the paper making industry in this country. Bumper crops of certain kinds are already assured for this year especially the biennial crop of candidates. There is consolation in the fact that it is colder in some other places.

Conclave of Vast ! Import Is Slated For j Tokio Within Few Days San Krnneisco, Jan. 5. A conclave,! perhaps of vast import in its effect on j the outcome of the Kuropean war is; slated for Tokio within a few days. I This wag revealed today, when Finn-1 cisco Ortes, Argentine niinsiter to J Japan, arrived here on a Japanese' liner. ! Participating in the conference, will be the llikado, the Russian special en voy Duke Jlih Mikhlovitch, and a' British envoy. Presumably their ses-: sion will bo to seek a broader par-' ticipation by Japanese in the European struggle. ' j The duke is already in Tokio, i ostensibly to carry the congratulations ' of C'zar Nicholas to the mikado. But Ortes intimated that it is merely per- j functory, and that, instead, his pres- ence in Japan is fraught with signifi cance. J Inasmuch as there has been some. talk of a (loriunn-.lapancso alliance of tho present war, and ns it is known Japnu has been exceedingly cflurteous to German war prisoners, there is a hint in some quarters that the entente allies are angling to prevent such n combination. Still another suggestion is that the subject of recent torpedoing of Jap anese steamers in the. Mediterranean may be considered and that menus mny bo taken to combat such incidents in the future. In connection with the suggestion that the entente may desire to thwart a possible German-Japanese alliance, it is recalled that Lord N'orthcliffe of Eng land in nn article for tho Vnited Press recently hinted lit the possibility there of. War experts, too, have had this situation iu mind, so this regarded ns possible that this in fact is tho crux of the situation at Tokio. RURAL CARRIER'S EXPERIENCES Dr. W. A.

Do not be miserable or make your friends miserable with your dyspepsia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it doesn't, tell Dnniel J. Fry that yon want your moner back and h will cheerfully re fund It. A change for the better will be seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and its continued use will soon start you on the road to perfect digestion and enjoyment of food. Ali-o-no has been so uniformly suc cessful that every box is sold under a positive Ruarnntee to refund the money if it does not relieve. What fairer proposition could be made. Daniel J.
