PUNISHMENT WAS SWIFT The crime of William Horner at Kelso, Washington, met with swift punishment. A week ago last Saturday according to his statement he murdered Mrs. Bassett with whom he had been living and also her two children. In less than a week he was captured and returned to the scene of the crime. Ten days after committing the crime he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment, the most severe punishment permitted under the laws of Washington. In these days of telegraph and telephones the person who cimmits a crime is senseless to the point of foolishness. This without regard to the moral aspect or immoral one, but purely as a business proposition. When any man measures his wits up against those of all the balance of the people in the United States he is going to lose out every time. Occasionally a crime is committed and the criminal escapes discovery but generally not more than a few months elapse before the crime is brought home to him. One of the greatest aids in running down criminals is the press. No crime of any magnitude is committed but that the newspapers have a story con cerning it and a description very often of the criminal. This with telephones reaching to the remotest parts of the country makes the getting away job a difficult one. ' Portland is feeling the effect of the war now in everv i branch of business. The ship buildiner boom is at the hot- torn of it all and the main cause of the wave of prosperity which has poured its flood of workmen into the city until there are not vacant houses left. The housing of the new comers is proving quite a problem. A recent statement in the Oregonian was to the effect the city showed a gain of 24,000 in the past few months. To house and care for that number of people requires quite a good sized little city. It would be in fact a half larger than Salem. It is probable this growth will continue for a while at least, for no matter when the war ends, the ship build ing will have to be carried on for four or five years at great speed to make good the losses due to submarines. BERRY PICKING A PATRIOTIC DUTY The berry picking this year will not fall to the laboring class, so called. They are otherwise engaged at good waes, and in permanent and needful occupations. The picking this year is a patriotic duty and must be con sidered such by those who can find the time and who will do so with this motive in mind, rather than because of the monetary return. The people of means must recog nize their responsibility and get under the load. Other wise Salem will be hard hit. Loganberries will be ready for the pickers in three to four weeks. The prospects are for the largest crop in many years. But on the other hand the supply of pickers seems to be the shortest ever experienced. Our towns people must arouse themselves to the situation, or a large proportion of the berries will go unpicked and a loss of berries means a loss ot dollars to the community, and a Joss of valuable food product to ourselves and our Allies. We intend to point out the urgency of the situation and we expect a prompt response on the part of our people. ltctter titan a university, nml safer tlinn 'hclme in the opinion of army life In lamp Lewis for the young men of the nation, expressed liy Portlnnfl city cfficials, after inspecting Camp Lewis Oregonian, And this is one of the camps that Senator Chamberlain, aided and abetted by the Oregonian, maligned as unfit places in which to quarter men where they were under fed, unclothed and in everyway neglected! It seems, how ever, that the army-builders were able to do good work and accomplish wonderful results in spite of the efforts of Roosevelt, Chamberlain, the Oregonian, et al, to hamper them in every move they made. In fact the Oregonian knows, and Roosevelt and Chamberlain know, that in all the history of a war-torn world ho soldiers were ever so well cared for in every respect as the pres ent national army of the United States. Old Civil war veterans remember how differently they fared in the try ing days of 18G0-5. Amsterdam reports the Germans as exceeding all their former atrocities and brutalities. This may be, but if so the balance of the world will have to admit that in this "art"' the Germans are really super-men. What they had accomplished in this line before gave them a world record, and if they have succeeded in lowering it, even an Apache Indian would refuse to enter the lists with them. Somehow it seems that the wrong names get fastened onto the right persons, so to speak. At Grants Pass Sun day a minister discussing the order to conserve flour and make Oregon wheatless said that Josephine county would go the limit to back Uncle Sam, but that as citizens its people have a right to demand that the using of all cereals for the brewing of malt or spirituous liquors be stopped niM. me congregation DacKea nis statement. This is wntere the suggestion about wrong namtes getting (at tached to the right people comes in. The minister who put up the hght against liquors is named "Boozer." With an army of 20,000 Czeco-Slovaks composed of men who at one time lived in the United States, fighting iii o uuujr in uie itaiian army mere can oe no ooubt to what others of their nationality now under Austrian rule, would do if they dared. The mailed fist of Germany is all that holds these citizens to the dual empire back from open rebellion. In this connection it is noted that a whole laterman division mutinied on the eastern front when ordered to the west to help Hindenburg. Once the spirit of revolt enters the army it will hearten the civilians population of Austria, and may lead to a real revolution. Gen. (Dr.) Leonard Wood is a creature of Teddy Roosevelt and is running true to form. He is raising a row now because he isn't allowed to go over to Europe and run the whole show there. No doubt the general staff knows why it doesn't want him there and that should suffice. The two ex-Dresidents. Taft anrl Rnncpvplt-. rnpr in !

Tart is out supporting the ad ministration in every way possible, and the blatant colonel is engaged in trying to bring disrepute upon it lie is shouting his superior wisdom from every place where he can get an audience and telling the country that Wilson is doing things wrong because he is not doing them in the same way Roosevelt would.

HHHrrMtlHMHWTHmHHHWMtMMMimth Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason THE WOODS FULL If there's a neighbor vou dislike, don't, tet him make you sore; don't think about him while you hike to do the useful chore. Forget him and his evil ways as you weave to and fro; the woods are full of worthy jays whom it is good to know. If some one shows a tightwad soul when war demands are made, and clings the tighter to his roll, I would not be dismayed. The country will not go to smash because of skinflint lads, who glue their fingers to their cash, and hide their surplus scads. The woods are full of loyal gents who alwavs have the price when asked, to dig up plunks or cents, or make some sacrifice. The woods are full of boys who say, "What can a fellow do, to help our soldiers far away, or split a Teut in two?" Don't think that treason's growing rank, that every man is vile, because some noisy, noxious crank gets up and spiels a while. Don't think our institu tions punk, our bulwarks bound to fail, because some fel low in Pohunk was ridden on a rail. The woods are full of delegates who make it plain, I wist, that in these braw United States great hearts and souls exist Our eagles soar on noble wings, and do their martial stunt, but we won't see these regal things, if we for buzzards hunt. mrir hi w I f trM IvisnuukJ of he George. had begun to aimov me. Whenever he saw George with Julia, he would at once seek me out, and his half veiled remarks anent their friendship caused me uuhuppiness. 1 should be glad when we left for Newport. I should miss tlwe gayety of Narragausett the free and easy sort of atmosphere but 1 should gain more than 1 missed in having Georgo to my self. . We were to leave the next day but one. lliat last night I had a violent liiadauhe, and went to bed early. Georgi went over to the casino, as usual. 1 lay thinking over all . that had happened since 1 married George. My nerves wen: on edge. I commenced to cry. I felt that my husband didn't really love me, and that x never could have children t comfort me. Need I go on with itf Had I not the right to live a happier life than that 1 saw belore me? Of course I exaggerated, as young immature women are apt to do. In think iug of the unhappy things in my mar lied life, I neglected to weigh them in the balance with all that had eome to me They loomed so large. I had no room for fair thinking. 1 had tried to please George tried to make myself sttractivo to him, and, also attractive to others in order that he might see them admire me. I felt that I was almost a new being, Piom a loving, spontaneous jrlrl, I had become a reserved, hard-hearted, deaeit ful, and often utterly wretched woman, If only he would change back into what he was or seemed to be, when w9 were married when he Seemed to love me that he had married me because he had that lit had married me because b had saw the possibility of making me over to suit him. If he should bo disappoint ed in that, he would cease to care for mo in any way. I must try, in every way, to please him- try to become like those women lw so admired for their poise, their self -possession, under all cir cumstances, It was just beginning to grow light when Georgo cume in. I had not closed my ey.es, but I kept quiet and he thought I was asleep. The next morn ing he made mo remain in bed. "Bleep until noon. We will have plenty of time to get acros to Newport before din n,er." he said kindly, as he darkened the windows. Scarcely had the door closed, than fell asleep, rioihed and comforted by Ins kindly tone. Two Wrongs Never Make a Eight. Often, at this time, when I felt that I could not go on that all joy was be ing crushed from my life I would think or what motlwer used to say. "Two wrongs never make one right" siic would say, when we argued with her. There is always duty to perform" To mother, duty meant much. Had it not been for her teachings, I surelv would have given up wlvju my misery seemed too heavv for me to bear. At t imes, I felt that if George were consistently neglectful and cruel to me, I could soon learn to bear it; but, every now and then, he would be so kind, so thoughtful, that my hopes would rise and I would have a brief period of happiness. Always, I was either in the depths, or floating on the clouds. There seenu'd no Buddie path. He called me about one o'clock and was so solicitous, so tender that I fair ly ached to throw myself into his arms and tell him to love me beg him to take me away from all these people h.9 used to know, and to whom he com pared ine to my disadvantage. But, in stead, I dressed quickly, and braced myself to say good-bye to Mrs. Collins and the others I had met. We should see them ofteu: "It is only a lark to go over to Newport," Clark Huntington 9111(1. lint when Georg,? and 1 were en sconced in our charming new quarters aud 1 knew we had lett some of the causes of our unhappincss even a little wny behind, I said to him: "I shall Uo very happy here, alone with you, George." "We shan't be alonet I know almost eveiyone in Newport. I want you to rest tonight. Tomorrow I shall introduce you to some of my friends." "It is no use," I said to myself, as he left mo to smoke. It may seem strange that all this jruyely did not appeal more strongly to "ne so young as I. Had 1 been really happy, it probably would. But I blamed '11 my unhappiuess upon the life George led beforo we were married upon the friends he b.-ld up to me as patterns.

We have all ,put in our war gar den now. Let the last week in May and the first week in June be Bed Cross garden days. And each report to the Journal how many lots we all put in, and see how many we can get; now everyone make a stir tomorrow, and rent those weedy lots to some one, or advertise them for Red Crottg gardens, and when we see a vacant lot hereafter, we will say the owner is ono of the ka'ser's friends. And. well you all know what we think of that class. I for one will call for a lot or two to put in. for the Rod Cross fund. Now get busy. A PATRIOTIC! CITIZEN, riSBIA (This Week's Pollyanna Story) I'isbit Twist dearly loved to danca. All the young men, besides being en tranced by her dimply nature agreed that no one could fox trot like Ki bia and just besieged her with invi tations, and if u evening passed the i without Fisbia daBeiog, it was because there wasn t any danee that evening. "Fisbit," tfcid her mother, wa heard her sniffling, one day, "1 hear you have a cold. I trust you doa t in tend to go out in all this weather and dajifo, tonight! Vou '11 cafch . your death of cold " But Fisbia went, just tho same, and the next day she found she had coa tracked inflammation of tho jarrynx. "Oh, well!" she thought cheerfully, "even if I lose my voice, I'll alwayt remember what it used to be like." And that evening, inflammed jar rynx and all, she went to another danca in spite of her mother's warning. Sha awoke the next morning with a bad case of putaonary flickers. "It's not until something like this happens to us," she thought hoarsely but gaily, "that we learn to pity tha poor people in hospitals." Surely, Fisbia," her mother said t her that evening, "surely you can't be thinking of going t another dance, with th090 pulmonary flickers on tofi of that inflammation of the jarrynx." But Fisbia went, and the following dey acute hoMdedehoytis set in, and in a wek she was an incurable invalid on wheels. "Oh, well," she ' reflected with a bright smile, "now, at last I'll hava plenty of time to knit."

CURRIER, M. D. Adenoids, No. 2. In addition to the adenoidB. we often see enlargement of the tonsils and ot the uvula (the little cone shaped body which bangs at the entrance to the throat), the entire opening to the throat being almost obliterated. Such children are often atam tnerers, their voice is thick and lacks resonance, and their intellect suffers. Their countenance la dull and ex pressionless, their complexion is bad, their upper Up is retracted, the septum of their nose deflected, and the glands la their neck en larged. They are often victims of croup, , hiccough, headache, St Vitus dance, nose-bleed, earache and headache, they suffer constantly from colds or deafness or weak eyes. Not all children with adenoids hr.ve all these troubles; all have acme ot them, some have all of them, and most of them are bene fited when tonsila and adenoids are removed. Children may be born with ade noids, or they may have them toon after birth; and they are more like ly to be in homes where the hygiene Is faulty, the ventilation poor, tha food unsuitable, and the conditions. In general, unsanitary. The child Is not responsible for all these bad conditions, hence the more Important la It for those who ' brought him Into the world to do all In their power to prevent the growth of adenoids or to have them properly and skilfully treated be fore his health la undermined. , No matter how poor parents may be. there is to-day no excuse for neglecting the health of their children. There Is hardly a town of any size, anywhere, which does not have a dispensary or hospital in which proper treatment may be obtained If needed. Of course the earlier it Is given. the better to t'j3 child; and in the Tent It case of such children as have been here considered, the treatment will consist in removing the adenoids (and the tonsils, too. If necessary), the administration of suitable ton ics, and the giving of properly pre pared and easily digested food. Removal of adenoids la rarely a dangerous operation. It is usually better to perform it under the in fluence of a general anaesthetic, and, when it is properly done, re covery will be prompt and tha bene ficial effects soon apparent Questions and Answers.
