Thonghls for 1910.

Smile and the world smiles with you,
Knock" and you go 1t alone;
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the Kicker" is never
known.
Growl, and the way looks dreary;
. Laugh, and the path is bright;
For welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
While a frown shuts out the light.
Sigh, and you rake i'm nothing,
Work, and the prize is won;
For the nervy man
With the backbone can
BY nothing be outdone.
Hustlel and fortune awaits you,
Shirk! and defeat is sure;
For there's no chance
.Of deliverance
For the chap who can't endure.
Sing. and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble, and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the busy, hustling throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing,
Whistle, and life is gay;
And the worlds in tune
Like day in June
And the clouds all melt away.
Selected.

The Light Question

inant equals electricity in brilliancy,
safety, neatness, healthfulness, econ
omy and cheerfulness.
Electric lighting omits no fumes
or odors, and is the one hygenic light
for living rooms and bed rooms.
The fact that electric light con-
sumes no oxygen, like all open flame
lights do, proves it to be the health
lest light known
1t keeps the air as pure and whole
some as If no light were burning at
ali.
The importance of this one feature
is readily apparent when 1t is known
that an open flame light burns more
oxygen, from a room, than four per-
sons would breathe.
No matches. No dangerous, dirty
matches are needed in the home that
is electrically lighted.
No washing and filling Of lamps,
no danger of explosions; no danger
of leaks; no plumbers bills; no flick
ering flame to be blown out by a sud
den gust of wind; no fine smudge OF
SCOT continually emanating from
your light to be deposited on cur
tains, draperies, and furnishings.
When you want to flood your home
with light, simply turn the button.
Think hard now-don't you want it.?

kerosene, gasoline lights and other
forms of incompetent illumination.
Are you ready to quit them? ~
Haven't you tolerated them long

There was a time when burning
pitch faggots furnished the only
means of artificial illumination folks
knew about. And it was considered
sufficient.
Then came the tallow dip, and
everybody discarded his pitch faggot
in disgust.
The tallow candle was next to ex-

dip, and folks were glad.
The next step Of development was
kerosene lamps, and they In their

replace electricity.

Bond Issue for New High school.

On the afternoon of Saturday,
February 5, the legal voters of
school district No. 7. (Grants Pass)
will decide whether or not We are
to purchase site and erect new
and modern high school building.
Grants Pass has been little
backward in the march of progress
in this particular line, for within the
last four years all OF the important
cities in western Oregon have un-
dertaken the erection of a modern
high school building. Medford,
klamath Falls, Ashland, Roseburg,
Cottage Grove, Marshfield, North
Bend, Albany. Salem, Eugene, all ex-
cept Grants Pass, are now provided
with new and modern high school,
Aside from the desire to keep abreast
of progress in facilities for good high
school work, the need of new high
school is now so pressing that new
building can not be longer delayed
The present building has been
changed from time to time to take
care of the rapid increase and seats
have been crowded in such a man
ner as to be great menace If ever
there should be a fire. The seating
capacity is taxed to its utmost and
still there are from 10 to Is pupils
more than desks and no space for
additional desks. During the present
session the enrolment in the high
school has increased from 1872 to
165, about 40 per cent. Should this
be kept up next session it will be ut
terly impossible to conduct the high
school under the present facilities.
There is not much thought but
that this bond issue will carry on
February 8, but it remains for every
legal school voter in the district who
desires to have this building erected,
to express himself or herself in favor
of such at the election held in the
present high school building on Sat
urday afternoon, February 5.
During the present session there
has been total enrolment in the
high school of 165 up to date. These
165 pupils come from the various
wards of the city as follows:

Real Surgical Operation.

Surgeons in Sacred Heart hospital
in Spokane successfully performed
what is known as the Caesarean sec
tion in the accouchment of Mrs.
C. w. McKane, East Montgomery
avenue, delivering healthy and we'll
proportioned girl baby weighing 7
pounds Mother and infant are llv-

connection with this case is that Mrs.
McKane was brought into the world
in a similar manner, her mother,
Mrs. ]. Beedle, having submitted to
a similar operation in st. Paul, 20
years ago. Mrs McKane weighs
between rs and 80 pounds. She Is
possessed OF remarkable constitu-
tion and reserve vitality. Operations
of this nature are fraught with dan
ger and result fatally more often
than otherwise. There Is legend
that julius Caesar was born In this
way.

At this same election opportunity
will be given the voters to express
their choice as to the location of the
new building. Four sites will be
named on the ballot, or the name of
any other site may be substituted If
so desired. The four locations sub
mitted on the ballot are:
a. The block between B and c
streets, bounded east and west by
Seventh and Eighth streets. This
location contains about 1R acres
and can be purchased for $4,000.
CD The Campbell-Booth prop
erty situated on the northeast corner
Of Sixth and A streets, containing 2
acres, at a cost of $4,000, without
residence
(3.) A three-acre tract, a part Of
what Is known as the Sherman tract,
facing D street on the north, just in
front and across d street from the
residence of Mrs. Margaret Tufts.
This location can be secured for
$4,000.
(4) The H. L. Gilkey property on
East A street, between Eighth and
Ninth streets, containing acres at
$9500, without house.
Some have advanced the plan to
remodel the present high school
building into a more modern and
commodious structure Chas II.
Burgraf, the well known school
architect, was in the city few weeks
ago and interviewed on this subject.
Mr.. Burgraf expressed himself by
saying that it would mot be feasible
to make over the present building;
that It would be almost as expensive
and still have an old building in the
end that would not be satisfactory
either to the architect or to the peo'
pie OF Grants Pass"
Besides increased facilities fol
high school, also additional room will
be needed next session for the grades
It is the plan OF the board OF educa
tion to use the present high schoo
building for grade purposes, and II
year or so, as the needs will re
quire, erect brick ward schoo
building on the site now owned b,
the school In the Fourth ward. Whel
these plans are perfected, Grant
Pass will then have good, substan
tial ward school in each OF the fou
wards in the city and modern hig
school building.

History Of Red Cross Seal.

CHARITY stamps" first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war. were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal. which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
20 millions. The Delaware AntiTu-
berculosis society In 1907 for the first
time In America made use of a stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con.
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu.
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $25O,000 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan Of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "a Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
