state Of Oregon must have United
States flag displayed at the scho oil
building A considerable number Of
the 90 school districts in Josephine

years past and some districts have
made purchases since the law was
passed, but there are still some dis

A Ginseng Farm.

E. F. Graham, of Prospect, was in
town Tuesday. Mr.. Graham owns
some valuable timber lands in the
prospect country and is also establ
ing ginseng farm, which is proving
great success. Mr.. Graham is
probably the pioneer of this industry
in Oregon and he has found the
pumice land on upper Rogue River 20
be particularly adapted to the growth
of this valuable root. He already has
some 5000 plants growing and will
put in more as fast as he can procure
the plants. Ginseng is highly priced
by the Chinese as medicine and is
said to sell in the Celestial Kingdom
for more than its weight in gold. and
the production of the plant in this
country where the conditions are
right is highly profitable. Ashland

New Standard Insurance Policy.

The report of the committee on
Oregon standard policy forms which
was appointed by the fire under
writers Of the Pacific coast to confer
with the insurance commissioner of
the state Of Oregon, has placed a
copy of their report into the hands
of the secretary of state. The con.
ference was the result of a law passed
by the 1907 legislature providing
that a standard form OF policy should
be used after October 1, by all fire
Insurance companies doing business
in Oregon. The most important
question at the conference was the
provision allowing the companies to
add other conditions under certain
circumstances. That part OF the law
reads IS follows:

poration or ASSOC alton. its Officers
DRIFTS agents, may add to such coc.

Hurry VS.. Longevity.

Not long ago, while travelling,
CHANGED to stop at village on the
River Rhine, where / found an as
tonishing number Of old people.
There were dozen over 100 years
of age, and many from eighty years
old up to the century mark, yet
straight and vigorous. One woman
: nearly hundred years old was earn
ing her living by picking hops; her
grandchildren were middle-aged.
1t was quite wonderful. But there
was no mystery about it; it was
merely the effect of a simple life
spent largely in the fields, with plain
diet, consisting largely Of few veg
etables and fruits, little meat, and
native beer and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very complexity of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our
lives. But Of all the evils that af1ict
us the worse and most destructive
are hurry and worry. Hurry drives
the body machine beyond it's capacity,
while worry racks it inwardly. OF
the two, worry is probably the worse.
This might, indeed, be called the
age of worry. Because Of the intense
nervous strain to which we are sub
jected, we do vastly more worrying
than did our forebears. The average
man of to-day is continuously sur
rounded and pursued with phantom
troubles, which, though few Of them
ever materialize into realities, haunt
him continually. running his peace Of
mind and injuring his health. DR..

Every Man Has to Take His Turn at
the Political Wheel.


I'VE live in constant terror" said
the Guernseyman, "of being coded by
England to France; but by virtue OF
holding us, the King of England is
Duke of Normandy; and he would
scarcely relinquish his last claim to
that title'
The peasants OF little Guernsey
speak the old Norman French, says
writer in the Travel Magazine. The
whole island uses French currency as
well as English; French names are
everywhere, and the principal families
are of Norman descent; yet the Guern.
seyman voiced popular sentiment
The island is intensely, proudly Eng.
fish, when the question of belonging
to any government arises; but it is
still more proud Of belonging on the
whole-this little garden in the sea
to its own tidy self
1t coins its own money; it has it's
own parliament, authorized to make
supreme and final DEGREES, and every
male resident in the island must take
his turn as wheel in the political
machinery. Two or three years ago
a carpenter refused to take public
office when it fell to his lot. He
was compelled to leave Guernsey.
The Liberal party or the Conserva-
tive may be debating to the English
nation, but Guernsey is more inter
ested in some local strife over sale
of potatoes in which a good citizen
was cheated. In her court house last
summer the writer heard such a case
argued in the ancient Norman French
between two grave lawyers, a fat
judge presiding solemnly. They spent
the whole day on it. They may be
arguing it yet. ~
If a man has a grievance and can
get no redress, he can as a last re-
sort kneel down in public highway,
and in the presence of two witnesses
cry out in French: "To my aid, my
prince" His case is then taken up in
court, and his enemy or offender is
summoned, and justice is done.
Not far from Guernsey is Sark, the
incomparable-an island not much
larger than a plum cake, only three
miles around and one mile across,
but having it's own parliament and
its Lord of the Manor, who lives in
feudal state and is responsible to no
body but King Edward-and rather
looks down upon that monarch! The
only other representative of ''the gen.
try in Stark is the Vicar; and at
present he is in a state of feud with
the Seigneur
Parliament is composed of the forty
owners of the forty parts into which
the island is divided Only heaven
knows what their proceedings are
when they meet, for in this lovely.
forgotten part Of the world nothing
happens.
