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.

How swift the years roll on, my friend, how swift the
years roll on ! They come and make their bow and bend,
they smile and then they're gone! Some morning, in the
mirror's face, we see a snowy hair; and ere
we've time to dye the place, a hundred more

brown, and life seemed in its dawn, and now
the gray spreads o'er my crown how swift

this be that little child, this man of weight
and brawn? How can the two be reconciled? How swift
the years roll on ! But yesterday my limbs were free from
stiffness, pain and ache; and I could climb the tallest tree,
or swim across a lake. But if I walk a block to-day, my
wind and strength are gone; they take me homeward on a

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.

STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES
Your money back if you want it Is,
the way In which Daniel J. Fry, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-no
has to much merit and is so almost In-
variubly successful in relieving all
forms of indigestion that he ran but;
little risk in selling uuder a guarantee,
of this kind.
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. Fry gives his personal
guarantee of "money back if you want
it" with every box'of Mi-o-na that he
sells, A guarantee like this speaks
volumet for the merit of the remedy.
