The Ludnment of Years.

A significant bit Of wisdom, to be
pondered over by the very young,
whose griefs and disappointments seem
so tragic, was that uttered by Mrs.
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau
tiful not only because circumstances
had proved kind to her, but from the
brightness and buoyancy Of her tenn
perament. She harbored no bitterness
over past experiences, but life had
taught her the unimportance Of most
trials which loom SO gigantic in ap-
preaching. Not long before her death
one of her nieces went to her for sym
pathy in some slight trouble.
"My DEAR" she said, "do not trouble
about it. There Is nothing in this
world really worth caring for Yes, "
she repeated, looking intently out of a
window, Il who have lived so long re-
peat to you that there Is nothing in
this world below really worth caring
for!'

When Wild Winds Blow.

Most of us are apt to look on storm
as simply Il strong wind blowing
straight from one place to another
1t Is not so Mt all, for Il storm wind
always blows in curve ,and storm
is not really a wind but n whole wheel
Of winds with curving spokes, These
curving spokes represent the various
winds all blowing toward the hub.
This hub is called the eye of the
storm. 1t is the spot Nt which the
barometer Is lowest, On the rim of the
wheel the barometer is high, and the
nearer the hub the lower is the baronl-
eter. This wheel of winds is usually
several hundred miles across,

Oregon's first state Irrigation Con-

Oregon's first state Irrigation Con-
gress, which met in Portland Feb
ruary 1921, closed with the unani-
nous opiniou that 1t was one of the
most important and representative
gatherings ever held. One hundred
and fifty six delegates were in attend
ance from all sections of the state.
1t accomplished the chief Objects
for which it was called. The many
interests which have keen working
separately for or against the govern
ment, the Caroy Act and private pro-
iects have been brought together.
They are now united in an organiza-
tion which will endeavor to secure the
passage of legislation that will offer
every possible aid to the prompt de-
velopment of all irrigation projects
and at the same time protect to the
fullest possible extent the rights of
the settler. The resolutions adopted
by the convention included petition
to Congress asking for an appropria-
tion of $4,000, 900 a year for series
of five years for the CONSTRUCTION aud
development of feasible irrigation pro-
jects, and that Oregon be given her
full share in accordance with the pro-
visions of the original Reclamation
Act which apportioned funds for such
purposes in proportion to the amount
contributed by the sale of public lands.

All Shad Are the Same.

Fishes are proverbial aids in n1agni-
flying facts. None of the fnny tribe
tends more to that end than the plain,
ordinary, "house broken" shad. Florid-
ians will testify that the ST. Johns river
shad is without equal; North Carolin-
ians stoutly maintain that the Cape
Fear river variety is the only kind
worth eating; Washingtonians VOW
that the Potomac shad is perfection;
Philadelphians swear by the Delaware
product, and 'lip old" New York sim
ply thinks that any other shad than
the Hudson river brand Is unfit to eat
And thus they go-the farther north
the greater seems TO be the preyarica-
ton daring The fact is, however,
that they are all talking about the
same old bony shad. In migrating
north It goes up each of the rivers in
turn. 1t is q salt water fish, in fact,
which sWims into fresh water to spawn
and is captured when. perpetuating the
species. 1t is true that the residue
from oil works, gashouses, ETC., In the
several large cities enumerated may
yiye Mr.. or Mrs. Shad a slightly local
1avor, but none to be proud of or to
provoke the unstinted partisan praise
hat is showered upon this much over
ated fish.-New York Tribune.

That the Taft managers realize that
every resource must be called upon
to nominate the President, is made evil
dent by an analysis of the electoral
votes in the various states. Twenty
threeAf the 49 states now have Repub-
lioan governors. The vote of these
states in the electoral college totals
238. With 331 votes in the the elec-
'Trfal college and 266 necessary to a
choice, sts{ {epatlioans will need only
9S additional votes providing they
can hold the states in whfcK they now
have the governorship, to carry the

ernois of Kansas, Michigan, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Hampshire. South Da-
kota, West Virginia and Wyoming
have openly joined the movement for
the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.
The aggregate electoral votes of
these states is II. In California,
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Now Mex.

lifetime with his pen, but often walk

SINGING and the Lunqs.

It is well known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit Of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing. bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from it will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.
