ARE WOMEN LASS SENTIMENT
tai THAN MEN?

The observation is so old as to be
trite, that of the two halves Of hui
mainly, men are essentially the more
romantic and sentimental, and women
the more practical and the latter have
long been Injured to seeing men ignore
most of the realities of Women's lives,
while apotheosizing that side which
looms large to themselves, through
their own partnership in its pleasure
and romance, says Margaret Fay
Coughlin, in the December Appleton s.
But If woman s altrulstlc sense
be great enough to accept the postu-
late that her own individuality has
no raison d 'etre except in what bears
on her efficiency as source of value
to one man, and Of physical and men
tai utility to the race through his
children, it is not strong enough to
accept that sort Of inverted self-reali-
zation for her daughter. For the sake
Of the woman Of the future, whose
perfection, as her child, is to be the
aim of all her own efforts, she is apt to
find the explanations of her being of
fered by many gentlemen, and the rig
idly limited goal they propose for her,
little theoretical, and, when pressed,
perhaps humorously sentimental.
For, life, alas! is not as we dream
it, but disorderly, scrambling, shut
fling struggle along the evolutionary
highway We cannot even die to or.
der, but tumble out Of this world as
inconsequently and inconveniently to
others as we came into it, dying and
being born in ocean steamers and In
the midst Of earthquakes and confa-
grations; getting food and shelter
more or less precariously; finding
CLEANS Of peace and beauty fitfully,
and loving and marrying no more
scientifically than we can do the rest
To advise one-half Of humanity in
such world to build it's life like a
carven lamp for the sole chance that
physical love may shine splendldly
through it, is a counsel Of perfection
no man would be impracticable enough
to fashion his own life upon. In mat
ters that pertain to his own personal
well-being the male theorists senti~
mentality is apt to give way to lucid
sense of self-preservation. And he
would very probably amend the form
ula for himself: [ shall grow like a
flower, fulfilling all the intricate per-
lection I am capable of; and if my
soul, that butterfly of love, so wills,
and other flowers laugh in the sun

but if not, the vigor Of my growth
and the beauty of my life shall have

COUNTRY VS.. CITY BRED.

Does the country bred boy have a
better chance for success than does
the city boy? This is a subject that
is being discussed to considerable ex-
tent in certain papers just now. The
subject was brought to the front by
an eastern college president who holds
that the country boy has the lead.
"The city boy" this college man
holds, 'labors under this serious dis
advantage-the unquiet and pettiness
which bring home to him that he is
swallowed up in the crowd, an insig-
nificant atom in the throng. He is
oppressed by a sense of his limitations,
he becomes discouraged and loses his
dreams and ambitions at an early age.
The country boy, on the other hand,
arrives from "the great spaces" with
an exaggerated sense of his personal
Importance, with boldness, naive no.
tions of the ease with which fortune
and fame are won, and a determina-
tion to make his way"
But this is not all of it. The coun-
try boy also has more robust health
and he should have better habits than
the city boy. aside from being more in
earnest. He will be behind the city
boy in polish and knowledge of the
world. But if he is of the right metal
he will soon overcome this handicap
and have sufficient shine.
If a country bred boy has equal ad-
vantages in the matter of Nheredity
and education, he should outstrip his
city brother. He undoubtedly does

riod OF closer development. Through
irrigation the waste lands Of eastern
Oregon are being reclaimed and the
farms OF the Willamette valley are to
be made more productive.
The state water code should be such
that it will afford every reasonable ad-
vantage to the irrigation interests. II
there is a conflict of interests between
mere spectators and bona-flde lrriga-
tionists the latter are entitled to the
greater consideration.
If the subject Of water legislation
comes before the present legislature.
may the lawmakers handle it in a
broad manner, looking to the future
welfare of the entire state and not
solely to present private interests.

JOHN DIS JOKE

John D. Rockefeller had finished
two hours humorous and brilliant
testimony in the government suit
against the Standard oil Company
when veteran correspondent. turning
to his neighbor, said:
THE nation is beginning to realize
what keen humorist it has in the oil
king. I remember when he was tes-
tifying in the 'S7 suit. His presence
in the box naturally brought big
crowds to court and one morning
as he sauntered down corridor a
man stopped him and said
81 beg you pardon, boss, but you
tell me where John D. is being tried?"
"Mr. Rockefeller took the man by
the arm and led him to the criminal
court room. He opened the door and
pointed to a downcast individual
That's John d., he whispered,
and then disappeared-Ex

THEY SHOULD HELP.

1t is gratifying to know that half
Of the local money needed in financ-
ing the new wooden mill company has
already been raised. The remainder
will be secured if certain property
owners will but show the proper
breadth of mind.
1t is now a question as to whether
or not the entire burden must fall
upon a few progressive business men
and property owners. and if so.
whether these men will be able to
handle the $4,000 bond issue
At this time there are some II or
Is names upon the list of woolen
mill hackers These men are the
business wheelhorses of the town.
Some of them are wealthy; others are
not. But they want TO see the town
go forward and they realize that if it
is to go forward they must put their
shoulders to the wheel.
Then there is another class in PEN
dleton. It is composed of men and
women, many of them financially in
dependent, who are likewise interest
ed in the development Of the city; but
are not so closely in touch with af-
fairs. Being retired from active busi-
ness they are naturally more conser-
vstive and less inclined to respond to
calls like the one pcw being made.
1t is the support Of these people
that is now needed. From the re-es-
tablishment of the woolen mill they
viii reap as much gain. if not more,
than will some of those already upon
the list.
II the wooden mill movement should
fail 1t will because these conservative
people are too Indifferent in the mat
ter. If they allow the movement to
fail they will find out later that they
were standing in their own light and
they will be sorry.

WATER LEGISLATION.

1T is to be devoutly hoped that the
recent decision Of the oregon supreme
court will make 1t possible for the
coming legislature TO amend the wa
ter code SO that it will come nearer
to meeting the needs Of the irrigation
interests.
In the past the subject Of water
legislation has been a hard nut for
the legislature to crack. There have
been so many conflicting interests
that It has been hard to accomplish
any reform.
Seemingly the supreme court deci-
sion. just given by Commissioner VIII
i. King will make # easier TO amend
the code. The decision holds that an
tiquated riparian rights do not hold
unless development work is done That
this is eminently just certainly no one
can deny It is not right for specula-
tors TO file upon water and hold their
claims indefinitely to the injury OF
more enterprising claimants and TO
the detriment Of the state at large.
Oregon is now entering upon a pc

AN IMPORTANT POST.

Dave Lavender, newly created road
supervisor, has about the most i'm
portant position in the county. Upon
his shoulders will devolve the task OF
supervising all the road and bridge
work in the county.
II Mr.. Lavender is the right man
for the place, which he is regarded as
being, he should be able to accom-
plish much for the county. Umatilla
county annually spends many thou
sands of dollars upon its roads and
bridges. This being true it is only
right and it is only good business on
the part of the county court to see
that the money is expended to the
best possible advantage.
Because of the important work he
has to do, the county supervisor
should be an able man. He should be
one with both a scientific and practi-
cal knowledge of road work He
should know how highways should
be laid out and how to build them
with the least possible cost to the
county. Naturally he should receive
a salary commensurate with the work
he has to do.
Here's good luck to Supervisor Law
ender May the useless curves and the
steep grades disappear under his mag
ic touch and may the county in gen.
eral profit because of his appoint
ment.

IL Yon Have a Friend.

II you have a friend worth loving,
Love him; Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow;
Why should good words n'er be said
OF friend till he is dead?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you go;
Leave them; trust the Harvest-giver
He will make each seed to grow
SO. until life's happy end,
You will never lack a friend.

Companionship is the one thing in
the world which is absolutely essen
tial to happiness. The human heart
needs fellowship more than anything
else, fellowship which is elevated and
enduring, stronger and purer than
itself. and centered in that which
death cannot change. All its springs
are in God Without Him life is
failure, and all beyond is a blank.

1T WAS NOT HER BACK.
Woman Had No Idea Of Being Proxy
for Medical Treatment.

A missionary, discoursing upon
India, told of woman who had come
to her complaining of very sore
back and desired that she pray for its
cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in a
bad condition. Mrs. Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine,
and brought out bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though it would hurt her were she to
use it. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some OF
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that 1t would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
of it upon her back.
But" said the woman, sit would
do no good
"How 500" inquired Mrs. Jackson,
alphabetically.

SISTERS TRICK
But 1t All Came Out Right.

How a sister played trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
Il was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength | Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what IL was. / noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
| was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
clearness to my eyes. then she told
me Of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee
From that time l became a disciple OF
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. i will not try TO tell IL, for
only after having used IL can one be
convinced of it's merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow
er TO rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's Reason"

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes il hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen.
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in a general
way, when a surface is In proper con.
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.

terations in painting materials, with
directions for using it, can be had

guarantee of purity and quality.
