position by the city council Nom

rom the Commercial club, together
with President G. B. Mains and Mrs
F. H. Hunt, were present to- set
forth the Elsns and urge favorable

company as to what part cf the
work it would do, no estimate of

Fay Hayes Dead.

Fay Elizabeth Hayes, twin daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. e. X. Hayes
died Wednesday at Salt lake OF
spinal meningitis, alter a sickness
of few days. At her bedside were
her father, called from this city
and her mother from Denver The
news of her death was a shock
and the many fearful eyes bore
evidence of the deep sorrow that
it bore to Emmett people. To
very many who have known her
since birth and had watched her
grow through all the stages from
babyhood to young womanhood
her death was akin to personal be-
reavement.
1t is not hard to tell of the
passing OF the rugged old pioneer.
One can sit and watch the falling
OF the mountain fir unmoved.
Words will weave in and harmonize
when strength, ordinary citizen-
ship and the run of allotted years
meet in the final arena to do bat
tie and the victory goes to the grim
adversary. But 1T takes the geE-
the thought of poet and the touch
of the artist to tell the story of
the bringing forth and blossoming
of the flower, and then its ruthless
destruction ere yet the sun had
much more than dawned. But they
who are most loved and priced are

eryone. Her life was sweet and
pure and her happy and gentle way.

A four-horse outfit loaded with
meat for the railroad camps and
driven by Andy RurEs went off
of the high grade about two miles
above the forks of the river ON
Saturday. Burns had his shoulder
severely bruised and a long cash
cut in his head, but his injuries did
not lay him up. His team was
slightly injured and the wagon near

Valley business, which is growing
rapidly in proportions, is brought
down the P. & l. N. from New

Oregon Short Line is spending ST.

Why this haste in what really a.

Does the Oregon Short Line know

You have learned that if it rains
today the sun will be shining to-
morrow, and that picniCs are messy
affairs anyway. If you didn't carry
off the first prize, you got the con-
ISOLATION one. and you've lived to
see the day that you thank your
heavenly stars that you missed
Johnnie Jones and got Tommy
Smith. and so nothing fills you with
despair because you have realized
that the law of compensation never
fails Age, that takes the keenest
edge off our enjoyment, also dulls
our capacity for suffering 1t dries
up figuratively. as well as literally
the springs of our tears.
The Real Optimist.
Youth is likewise the time of pes
simism as regards the world, be-
cause youth is the time of intoler-
ance, of Impotence, Of merciless
hard Judgment Every young man
thinks that the country will go to
the dogs if his political candidate
is not elected, and that anarchy
will ensue if the theory he advo-
Gates is not enforced. He believes
that everybody who does not agree
with him is thief, a liar, and an
assassin, and that every sinner
should be brought forthwith to jus
tice. and he is filled with gloomy
forebodings when he contemplates
the future.
1t is the old man who is optimis-
tic, because he has seen so many
dark prophecies unfulflled he has
seen the world go on in its old
accustomed way after so many pre-
dictiOns that the end was about to
occur, he has seen the deluge peter
out so often in a mild and benefi-
cent shower. Experience has also
taught him that youth is wrong in
thinking everything black and
white, because it is mostly shaded
down into gray, with so much more
good in the bad than we believe.
and so much more bad in the good
than we expected.
Age is the time of optimism be-
cause we have learned to trust life,
and to realize that as the homely
old phrase puts 1t. there is no use
in worrying because the things we
worry about in advance never
happen and most of our troubles
are about things that never trouble
us. We have seen changes that we
dreaded make our greatest happi-
ness, and disappointment turn into
choicest blessings, and so We learn
to look forward with confidence to
what the morrow will bring us.
No, Mr.. Hardy is wrong. Old age
is not the season of pessimism. 1t
is time of calm philosophy. of
serene and hopeful confidence that
whatever is. is best. 1t is when
the clock strikes twelve that we
know most surely that. God reigns
in His heaven and alrs well with
the world"

II is the young who die Of broken
hearts when some love affair goes
awry. 1t is the young who commit
suicide. No rainbow of hope spans
their tears. No philosophy gives
them courage to face misfortune
II Is only the old who can smile in
the face OF disappointment, be-
cause they have learned that
laughter and weeping both endure
but night, and that If we didn't
get the thing we wanted there is
something else Just as good ahead
We are always talking about the
joys of childhood but l question IL
any middle-aged person is capable
of suffering as a child does. Do
you remember the black disap-
pointment that filled your whole
horizon on the day of the picnic
when it rained. and how YOU felt
that you might as well die since
there was nothing else in life worth
living for? Do YOU recall the fury
of baked ambition that tore your
soul when you failed TO get the
school prize? Do you remember
how YOU wet your pillow with tears

The Only Way
To Help People.

When wealth was only obtainable
by robbery. this view of things had
certain basis in fact. But wealth
obtained by rendering a service to
humanity is thing of which to be
justly proud.
The parable of Dives and Laz-
arus has gotten firm grip on the
Imagination. Lazarus in heaven
and Dives in hell is a particularly
pleasing proposition for the great
family of Lazarus.
The only way to help people is to
give them chance to help them
selves. That is all any one should
ask for-opportunity Giving to the
poor is lending to the devil. Money
earned means manhood. Money
gained by an appeal to sympathy is
tainted. and it stains the soul of
him who gets it.
Now, when things are coming
around to where most everybody
owns home who really wants to,
we are getting a new focus.
Italy and Spain are the homes Of
beggardom. But now Spain penal
ICES beggary and Italy is introduc
ing the Montesorri system of edu-
cation, which means eventually
earning your living, not merely Sc
curing it.
The church has always cast a
mantle of sympathy around the
sick, the lame, the decrepit, the I'M
fit and the poverty stricken.
Scientific sociology, with its
high-power lens. shows US in the
distance an ideal world. Poverty
will be done away with, disease
eliminated. crime abolished.

UTcAN NOT beg and to dig I

lege bred prodigal as he
asked for a hand me- out.
If one wants TO get a little
glimpse of the way the times are
changing. please make note of the
fact that the general government
in Spain has recently passed law
making begging on the public
streets a misdemeanor.
Any individual so begging is liza

Imprisonment is provided. without
the privilege of paying a fine. Third
offenders are liable to be sent to

that poverty was virtue and
riches a disgrace-that poor men
were good and rich men bad.

The Old Orchard
By MINNA IRVING.

{ III, know an ancient orchard
Where the trees are all in bloom
You will find it if you follow
Bee and butterfly and swallow
And the watts of rich perfume.
There the robin builds his dwelling
On pink and dewy spray;
When the wicket clicks behind Won
Care and pain can never find you.
For the world is shut away.

painted by the suns and rains)
But the hand of Time embosses
With the green of velvet MOSES 1
Every picket that remains.
Overhead the apple blossoms
Spread tent of rosy snow.
Marking off the golden minutes
For the thrushes and the lnnets
With the fakes that fall below
Tis the orchard of our childhood
Where all day we used to swing
When the winds were sweet as honey
And the hours long and sunny
In the bridal bowers of Spring

Death is just as good as life, and

That is something the world did

Self-sacrifice, abnegation, affect
ed humility are all more or less
forms of hypocrisy Indiscriminate
giving pauperizes. Enlightened self
interest gives freedom.
We have lived in two worlds at
a time. The earth has been for
saken in order that we might gain
the good will of the skies. AS Alb
dull Bana says. Man must be con-
ciliated to man-not God to man."
God loves men who love each oth-
er, simply because no other kind
are lovable.
Begging is a bad business. The
more the beggar succeeds the worse
off he is. Beggars breed beggars.
and thus make beggardom perpet-
ual. Spain is right-begging must
be made disgraceful.
1t would be almost unkind and
indicate to call attention to the
fact that this was one of the chief
planks in the platform of Francisco
Ferrer The modern schools
taught that beggary should be abol-
ished.
Ferrer was destroyed because he
expressed himself in undiplomatic
language, and was ahead of his
time. But by his death and through
his death he convinced Spain that
he was 81 per cent right.
And so now, behold, Spain, as if
to make amends-for you can't
bring back the dead-is now en-
couraging the modern school and
inaugurating many of the Ferrer
ideas.

u n interviewer asked Thomas
~ Hardy the other day why he
was so pessmistic, and the
great novelist replied:
THE cruelty of fate becomes APP
parent as peopleNgrow older. At
first one may, perhaps, escape COM
ing in contact with it, but after
living long enough one realizes that
happiness is very ephemeral."
Mr.. Hardy is very great genius,
but a very morbid and melancholy
one, and. it seems to me, he does
not see life from quite the angle
that we ordinary, common place
folk do In his novels there is new
er anything but great clots of
gloom, and misfortunes follow fast
upon the heels of his heroes and
herolnes, while for most real peo-
Pile there is as much JOY as sorrow,
as much feasting as starving
Certainly. to the normal individ-
ual with the average experiences of
existence. age does not necessarily
bring pessimism The lesson that
the years teach US is not despair
but confidence. and the proof of
this is to be found In the fact that
old people are nearly always calm
ly cheerful and untroubled.
Youth is the time of optimism
only in the sense that 1t is the sea
son of buhbllng hope and enthu-
siasm, and over weening self-con-
fidence and self conceit, Our pow
ers are then untried, and we are
like soldiers who boast before the
battle of the prodigies of valor that
are going to be performed and the
medals that will be won. There is
nothing great that we do not figure
ourselves as doing and we have no
doubt that the world will stop its

No old man believes in himself

COMMUNICATION

Editor Courier-Democrat:-
70 those who are anticipating the
sowing of winter,rye, the following facts,
gained from experience of these who
have raised the crop successfully in this.
county, will bear careful consideration.
Essentially it is a crop to be sewn on
worn out or foul land, although it will
respons dby increased yields, as will
other CROPS, when sown on fertile land.
There is no crop which is its equal for
Kidding a field of weeds. 1t can be
counted on to choke out wild oats,
kingweed and the two pigweeds and
effectively hold in check the other COM
nor annual weeds. An average yield IS
Is to 25 bushels. An average price is
so to IS cents. The variety recommend:
ed for use in this county is N. Oak. No
$50. 1t should be sown between Aug.
10th and Sept. 10 the earlier date being
the more preferable, as the greater the
growth made during the fall the more
certain the stand the following spring.
Due to the fear that those who have
tried rye have learned to their sorrow
that it practically or wholly, winter kills
when sown OF plowed land to be en- the
safe side, drill it into the stubble. It
has never killed when sown in that
way. A double disk drill is DECIDEDLY the
best for sowing, as it breaks down less
stubble. Do not harrow before or after
seeding unless a hallock weeder or some
other implement which will not break
down the stubble may be obtained.
Sow deep, 2 to 3 inches. 1t must be
put to moisture. Sow one and one
half bushel to the acre. When cutting
grain on land to DO sown to rye cut a
high stubble. Where possible try to
practice start drill shortly after binder
leaving bundles lie, toss a few bundles
aside to start drill from one side of the
field, then shock over on the drilled
land. In this way you are putting the
seed in on moist ground, and you are
getting it sown early,tw very important
features.
A small acreage of rye is worthy of a
place on every farm and has proven
profitable where tried. 1t yields a fair
cash profit it costs little to SOW, it cleans
the land and is out of the way before
the regular harvest on. The
Better Farming Association advocates
its use under the above conditions and
tenders any assistance it may be able to
give to those who feel in doubt about
it's culture. j. w. HAw.
