pI.asur. and Sacrifice.

An alert little five-year-old was visit
ing a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through in the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that size did not want
to go at all and. as her mother urged
her. broke forth in tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying: "Come along! Come
alorg! Ride clear round the pond.
Only 5 cents for ladies and gents!

WAGON BECAUSE 1T WAGS.
Both Words Came From Aryan Root,
Meaning ITO Move"

Both Words Came From Aryan Root,
Meaning ITO Move"
In the first book of riddles ever
written was the conundrum, "Why
is tollgate like dead dogs tail?
Because it stops a wagin."
Atrocious as appears the pun
that tries to juggle with wagon"
and "wagging," it is really better
than the writer Of the atrocity and
the casual reader ever knew, for
wagon" and ''wagging" are iden-
teal and are children of a long line
of honored ancestry.
It is the motion that makes them
alike, and this idea of motion dates
far back to the days when the
Aryan languages, now reaching
from the east coast of India to the
west coast of the United States,
were one tongue in the beginning
of its formation.
The root from which they grew
is "wagh," and one meaning of it is
the same as our 'wag," as it signi-
Res going from side to side, to move,
10 carry, to pass over and turning
from one point to another.
This root lies at the foundation
of our word sway" whether we use
it as a road, or path, or distance, or
direction. It is what we move over,
or the direction we move, or the
distance we move. Even if we want
our own "way," it is the manner in
which we see fit to move. In our
wagon" it is the thing that moves
and in the dogs tail the sort OF
motion.
All similar words come to our
English more directly through the
Teutonic base 'wega," which means
both a way and to wag. When the
root went into the Sanskrit the "w"
got the "v'' sound, SO our East In
dian brothers say "vah" for carry
and call road vehicle and horse
all "vaha."
In the Latin it became "via, :"
which we use for way and through
which we get our "viaduct" and
vehicle"
In all of the words in all of the
various languages into which
"wagh" has gone there is always the
idea of the thing that moves, the
path over which it moves or the
manner of its motion.-New York
Herald.

BREAKFAST IN THE POULTRY YARD.

cut bone from the very first. Just a
little thrown in so that each chick can
get morsel or two will help wonder
fully. If you ever dropped a bit OF
meat into a brooder full OF two
weeks-old chicks and saw them scram-
BILE and fight over it you won't doubt
that they needed it.
Cooked meat cut up very fine is
safer and perhaps just as good. but
it is costly. However, cost should be
little considered in feeding chicks for
the first few weeks, as a foundation
can be then secured well worth many
times it's cost. Feed your poultry reg
ularly. They will come to know you
and wait for you and are all the better
for it. The illustration will give you
an idea.

EYES Apple Tree.

A fruit supposed to bear the
mark of Ewes teeth is one Of the
many botanical curiosities of Cey-
lon. The tree on which it grows is
known by the significant name of
"the forbidden fruit" or Gives APP
pie tree The blossom has a very
pleasant scent, but the really re-
markable feature of the tree, the
one to which it owes it's name, is
the fruit. 1t is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep
crimson within, each fruit has the
appearance of having had piece
bitten out of it. This fact, togeth-
er with its poisonous quality, led
the Mohammedans to represent it
as the forbidden fruit of the garden
of Eden and to warn men against
its noxious properties.

OUR TOWN.

We invite the citizens of
the surrounding country to
come to our town to do their
trading. or as a place of resi-
dence, because we know you
will be delighted with it's sur
roundings, with it's people,
with it's laws and clean streets
delighted with it's school pri-
vileges and with it's good
moral elements that exists
and is largely sustained by
the people. You will find it
a pleasant place in which to
live, almost devoid of the evil
influences usually existing in
towns. It's people are chart
table, law abiding, genial,
clever and accommodating.
You will also find it u cheap
place in which to live. Sharp
competition III all branches of
trade has 80 reduced prices
that everything in The mer-
chat tile line can he had at
the very lowest prices and in
view of which this town has
become a great trading mar
ket for the surrounding coun-
try.
The interest of a town or
city and the community are
identical. That which bene-
fits one is certain to favor the
other. Often there is an un-
reasonable antagonism in the
farming community against
thein own town. From some
inexplainable reason they con-
slider it their duty to oppose
every movement that has FOR
it's object the forwarding of
it's interests and depreciate
it's Importance in every con-
ceivable manner. Fortunate
ly in this community all of
our best and mostprogressive
farmers and landowners hrve
a kindly interest in the town
and are as enthusiastic in
wishing it success and exer-
cising their energies to attain
that end as any who dwell
within it's limits. Give us
your trade-help us to build
up our town and you will in
crease the value of land in
our community.

Washed Ashore.

A sober resident in a small vii
lage on the east coast occasioned
quite a commotion by saying that
the bodies of three children had
just been washed ashore. The citi-
zens were indignant when after
much inquiry the sober resident
said:
81 tell you they were. They were
washed ashore by their mother. You
don't suppose she could take 'em
out into the middle of the ocean to
wash 'em, do you?'

ssyaanaKa Fruit Of Malay Archipelago.

sysEngKa i-ruir OF Malay Archipelago.
The fruit called mangka in the
Malay archipelago hangs on short
stems and grows directly out of the
thicker woody parts of the tree,
which, to begin with, is a surprising
sight to US north country men.
Often in the leatherlike rind of tie
fruit are found hundreds of seeds
about the size of a pigeons egg sur
rounded by a not particularly ten
der mesocarp. Many are the opin-
ions about the flavor of this latter.
1t seems to me peculiar and arc
matte The people of Java and
Malaysia appear to be very fond Of
it, Judging by the quantities of this
fruit consumed. The wood of the
mangka tree is also greatly esteem
ed. The root especially is utilized
for wood carving. At first rather
pale, it later resembles mahogany
in lor.-New York Herald.

THE Ro...4NcE or WHEAT.
Once Raised For Princes Only. Now
the .World,s Food.

Once Raised For Princes Only. Now
the Worlds Food
Wheat is the food of princes and
peasants. 1t is the food of the world
1t was known to be the best food for
fifty centuries, but it did not until
thirty or forty years ago become uni
versal. Every community ate all 1t
raised. There was none to sell. 1t
was so precious that only kings and
the nobilities could afford. it. 1t was
sOwed by peasants, who reaped 1t
with sickle by hand. For 5000
years no better plan was conceived
than the sickle and the scythe. Then
came the reaper, an invention by Cy-
rus HI. Mccormick. of Scotch-Irish de-
scent Then the world began eating
white bread.
This new machine, the reaper, when
it was full grown into the self binder
was equal to forty sickles. With one
man to drive it, it could cut and bind
enough wheat in one season to feed
400 persons In it's most highly de-
veloped form, the combined harvester
and thrasher, it has become so gigan-
tic machine that thirty-two horses
are required to haul it.
This leviathan cuts a fifty foot road
way through the grain, thrashes it
and bags it at the rate of one bag
every half minute And the total
world production of reapers of every
sort-self binders, mowers. headers.
corn binders, etc.-is probably as
many as 100000 a year. two-thirds
of them being made in the United
States.
Because of this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the world
is now nearly twice what it was in
1879 The American crop has multi
piled six and a half times in fifty
years. Western Canada, Australia,
Siberia and Argentina have become
wheat producers.
The cost of growing one bushel in
America with machinery and high
wages is now about half a dollar,
which is less than the cost in Europe
and as low as the cost in India. where
laborers can be hired for few pen
MES a day. With a sickle the time
cost of a bushel of wheat was three
hours. With a self binder it is now
ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain. At the
outset it was shipped in bags. Then
some railway genius invented the grain
car, which holds as much as twenty or
twenty-five wagon loads, and today one
of the ordinary moving pictures of an
American railroad is a sixty car train
travelling eastward with enough wheat
in it's rolling bins to give bread to a
city of 10000 people for year.
The Siberian railway. which is the
longest straight line of steel in the
world, was built largely as a wheat
conveyor. So were the railways of
western Canada. Argentina and India.
1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from the
barn TO the nearest town. The average
distance that an American farmer has
to haul his grain is nine and half
miles, and the average cost of haulage
is cents for a hundred pounds. Thus
it has actually become true that to
carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than 1900 miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that a bushel of
grain can now be picked up in Mis-
souri, and sent to the cotton SpinnerS
of England for a dime.

DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL

You would not be without the paper
anyway, so here is an opportunity
for a ten-strike. All renewals must
be for cash only in order to secure
the extra votes.
The Voting Heavy.
The votingo f the last few days
was very heavy indeed, every candi-
date is working hard and straining
every nerve to win out. Contestants
are entrenching themselves for the
final struggle. You must work to
win.
The contest has been running just
a little over four weeks and but
four more weeks remain before the
ballot box closes for the last time.
A glance at the standing of the
contestants is the very best evidence
possible of the way interest is being
aroused.
Get every available subscription
and and let the end of the race take
care of itself. There is one thing
which always succeeds in contest
of this kind and that is the staying
qualities. Those who have entered
the contest with the determination
of staying with it to the end are go
ing to come out victorious.
This may not occur to you bur
even if one aspirant does get a few
thousand votes in the lead of her
competitors in a certain district it
must not be taken for granted thai
the race is won and perhaps tho
young ladies who are apparently re-
posing in quiet near the bottom will
be the ones to creep upawares and
carry off the prize. Such things
have been done and many a race has
been lost by over-confidence. Don't
let rumors influence you one way or
the other. 1t is often the case that
a candidate or her friends will hear
that such a one has secuNed a few
years subscriptions. These rumoTs
usually are false, as the secrets of
this office are not aired to inquirers,
and the reports are therefore start
ed in hopes that the other young la
dies of this district will become dis
couraged and stop their efforts.
Such rumors should only be the goaI
to better things.
Pitch right in with the firm deter
mination to win out or give the one
who does win the contest of her life
Nothing is ever gained by laying
back and letting someone else picK
up the prizes of life. Nothing like
this offer will ever be given in Sa-
lem again probably. and the opportu-
nifty of winning such prizes should be
grasped Immediately and striven for
earnestly.
Candidates should poll a few votes
every day to let their friends know
they are still in the race. But by all
means keep a reserve for the last
day. If no one knows how many
tes you have it will be much harder
to defeat you than If you have all
you rvotes in the paper where every
one can see how you stand and know
just what IL takes 10 beat you.
Rivalry i'm Towns.
In the towns outside of Salem
there Is plenty of that sort OF rival
ny in the voting that will cut a big
figure In the contest before Il is
ovFr. Local pride is going TO have
good deal to do with the size OF
the vote given favOrite candidates.
AS yet the faYorite daughters have
not come so eOnspicuOusly to the

Special Offer.
BY overlooking the opportunity
which The Capital Journal is now
making for the benefit of old sub
scribers who would assist their young
lady friends in the great contest now
being conducted by this paper may re-
suit in failure for your favorite to
win one of the numerous handsome
and valuable prizes offered herein.
Numerous indeed have been the news
paper contests, but none has essayed
the spirit of liberality now available
to subscribers of The Journal.
For three days, starting Tuesday,
Nov. 23, ending Thursday, 26, The
Journal is giving old subscribers the
same privilege regarding vote cou-
pons as are accorded the new ones.
That is, old subscribers by renewing
hnttA SuDoCilpllOAS may ave "
any candidate in the great race
the same number of votes that new
subscribers may. This scale runs
from 700 votes for one month renew
ais to 10000 votes for two-year re-
newals.
By long odds this is the most gem
erous offer ever made in newspaper
contest, and it becomes the bounden
duty of every subscriber, new or old,
to lend the candidate helping hand.
Remember the offer is for three days
only and will not be repeated dur
ing the contest. Just think-by re-
newing your subscriptions to The
Journal for one year, you can give
your favOite candidate in this specta-
cular race 900 votes. What an i'm
petus that will give any candidate is
OF easy conception to all. BY renew
ing for two years, you can give her
10000 votes.
