At last v. e know what Katy did. False, fleeting, per jured Katy! Of whom Dr. Holmes complained years ago, ''Thou sayest an undisputed thing in such a solemn way!" All these years she has borne the reputation of a song stress, when as a matter of fact all she did was to rub her wings together and make a pale green noise. The movie camera operated by Dr. Raymond Ditmars, of the New York zoo, is responsible for proving how false ly Katy posed as Mary, queen of garden song. Patiently he watched and waited, camera set for hours at a time to make the slow-moving film which tells the secret. This is only one of the bits of nature lore which his camera has betrayed, from a faithful record of the antics of a nine-foot cobra to the slow development of frogs and toads from egg to maturity. There is a fascination as well as education in these illustrations straight from the great story-book of na ture, whose power, for those who will look and listen, will "sing a more wonderful song, or tell a more marvelous tale." The senators who advocated rejection of the League of Nations pact are trying to find a soft place on which to light. They say they are willing to stand for the League of Nations provided it is amended in certain im material ways. Of course, it will be amended, as every body knows the first draft given out was merely a work ing plan' to be thoroughly gone over and perfected after full discussion. Nobody who favors the League idea is opposed to making amendments provided they tend to make the plan more workable. The Grants Pass boy who captured single-handed a machine gun and twenty Germans has reached New York, on his way to Oregon. Seems like there should be a re ception coming to a fellow like that, when he gets off the train at his old home town. Since this hero's father is a resident of Salem now, the Capital City ought to watch for his coming also, and make a day so big they will print it in red letters on the olandars hereafter. the League's direction. The statement adds: "Mr. Taft's attitude, which is substantially that of the League, is that he would accept the Paris covenant as it stands, and thank God for it; that it does not, however, fully meet his ideals, not being as strong in some respects as the plan we have been advocating; that he would like to see amendments that would strengthen it, and thinks it wise to make changes that will make still more clear the meaning which we understand it to carry. He is also favorable to making changes that will placate opinion, especially in the direction of definite acceptance of the Monroe Doctrine, which we understand is already the basis of the instrument." It may be added that this also represents the attitude of large numbers of people who have never had anything to do with Mr. Taft's League. uiereial club should see that it became our state slogan, and don't forget I told you so. Pomona, southern California, wnere every individual community, cluircii and school practice their slogan, "Be Kind to the .Stranger," is the one city I re member must kindly while traveling with my br-thcr for his health. Kind ness is remembered lunger tlinu any thing, fcitttmlpar, is another s'ogan, I selected or YVaeoda. 1 take it irom observations of St. Paul, Oregon.

Prom our nations I select another slo gan, "L'nited We Stand, Divided W'c rail," locally this is true of every com munity. Any place is dead laid unpro gressive when it fails to bo lumen, and up to the time. Wueoiida has ulnars been u literary town, its talent is scat tered all along its highways anu by ways, .the. whtilo surrounding country turns out to do justice to their enter tainments. Mrs. Hubert, who started the latest basket social and landed p2.- 10 for the btisebull grounds, has the gratitude of the boys and the nudienee, und for tho season's accommodation for The possibilities of the flax industry are shown by the prevailing high prices of flax fiber. Mrs. W. P. Lord, uf this city, tells the Capital Journal that she has just re- ceived a copy of a Belfast, Ireland, trade journal which n. i would suggest they buy the iun.i, tells of the purchase of a small quantity of French-grown i I1'6 fu generations would can then, fu, n 07rj f tv, : J bk'8sed' 0ther 801,111 w' ur'tf vf- jiua iiui i ai i(ii.iov a tun. lie jajici in vuiniur-nimg ujjuii the deal states that the quality of the fiber was "almost as good" as the Belgian-grown product. Here in Oregon we can produce a flax fiber equal to, if not actually super ior to any grown in any part of the world, and the straw from three acres will yield a ton of fiber. The possibilities for profit in flax growing may be seen in a study of these figures. Ocly those who are afflicted with Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas boils and similar so-called skin diseases eaa ap preciate the real terrifying discomfort thst comes from these disorders. The constant plea cf those afflicted is the oft-repotted question, "How can I find relief from this constant torture?" Xot palliative, temporary relief that causes tho terriblo itching to abate for awhile, but real genuine relief that shakes off the shackles uf tho disease and restores tho skin to its former healthy condition. And temporary relief is the most that can be expected from local treat ment, such as ointments, salves, lo tions, etc., which U one reason why these diseases seem to hold on with such tenacity. It is not because they are incurable, but liecause they are improperly treated, that they apnear to be to stubborn uuu so difficult to cure. The real eaiue of the disease is a 6erm ia tho blood, which multiplies by the million, and sets up an irrita tion in some tender location of the delicate skin. You must locate the headquarters of the disease germs, and cut off their base of supplies. Tho blood ia saturated with them, and they will set up their attacks' on the surface of the skin as long a they remain ia the blood, no matter how much local treatment you take. A million gallons of local treatment applied to the surface of the skin, will not eliminate the germs of the disease from the blood, and until they are eliminated your skin will never be free from the itching and burning discomfort. If yon want relief that is perma nent, then take a treatment that goes right to the seat of the trouble and removes it cause. Such a remedy is s. s. ., Uie reliable old blood purifier that so thoroughly cleanses the blood, that every trace of disease germ is routed out, and a now supply of rich red blood is sent coursing through the veins. 8. S. S. has been used successfully in some of the worst cases of ecxema and other skin troubles', and it ean be . relied upon to cleanse the blood of the last vestige of the disease. S.3.S. is also a splendid tonic and system builder, and it builds up and adds uew vigor to the whole system. Go to your drug store ami pot a bot tle of S. S.
