Life Is Certainly A Funny
Road To Travel

Man comes into this world
without his consent, and leaves
it against his will. During his
stop on earth his time is spent in
one continuous round Of contraries
and misunderstanding by his
fellow beings. In his infancy he
is an angel; in his boyhood he is
a devil; in his manhood he is
everything from a lizard up; in
his duties he is a fool; if he raises
a family he is a chump, if he
raises a small check, he's a thief
and the law raises h ! with him;
if he is a poor man he is a poor
manager and has no sense; if he
is rich he is dishonest, but con-
sidered smart; if he is in politics
you can't place him as he is an
undesirable citizen; if he goes
to church he is hypocrite, ifne
stays away from church, he is a
sinner and damned; if he donates
to foreign missions he does it for
show; if he doesn't he is stingy
and tightwad. When he first
comes into the world everybody
wants to kiss him; before he goes
out they all want to kick him.
If he dies young, there was a
great future before him; if he
lives to a ripe old age, he is in
the way and living TO save fun
eral expenses.
This life is a funny road, but
we all like to travel it just the
same and make the best out of
the worst of it, SO join the line
of the cheerful and send your
orders for job work to The Times
Herald Office.

Don't Fight The Weather

What great misfortune this
is, the habit of considering the
weather. of thinking that we
must consider the weather? 1t
is largely due, it is not; to cloth
es? No mention is made of any
rain in the Garden of Eden,
but we must not therefore con-
tend that the lain was disagree
able and omitted. We must re-
collect that Adam and Eve did
not have to consider rain. Fur
thermore in blessed ignorance
they did not know that it was
anything TO be considered.
To mind the rain no more than
the May sunshine, but to plunge
into it and let the drops pelt as
they will, to accept snow with
out a thought of discomfort, but.
rather, to enjoy the thronging
presence of it; to pursue ones
daily stunt regardless of whether
the sky be dim or blue-this is
a state which we, especially of
the cities, long, long have lost.
We regain it, some of us, in
the wildness camp, where we
hunt or fish if the day be bright,
and where we find that the dash
of the soft rain on ones face. is
not death, after all; that wetness
and dryness are merely relative
terms.
All the centuries of fussing
and fuming with the weather
have not effected the weather
one particle. 1t rains and SHOWS
and sleets and blows. just as
dictated by circumstances. So,
what's the use? Are your pun
ny diatribes or mine of any
greater potency than those Of
others gone before? Evidently
not. Accordingly not. Accord
ingly, Try the plan of being
friendly with the weather, of
with it, and "pon my
word" presently it will be agree
ing with you.

STATE SCHOOLS CONSIDERED EFFICIENT
Concluded From First pase)

is best suited by nature to do
and get home preparations to do
that thing.
Our state system of schools is
comprehensive. II consists of
the elementary school, high
school, normal school, agricultu-
raj college and the university.
This gives a thorough education
TO the sons and daughters of the
poor as we'll as those of the rich.
Our course Of study does not
require pages, but rather topics,
to be taught 1t encourages much
industrial work and endeavors
through this to stimulate an in
terest in home duties and to gain
the cooperation Of the mother
and father. In a number of
counties the children's industrial
work is stimulated by the school
fair, where the children bring
the products that they have
themselves raised, and place them
in competition. The teacher Sc
cures bulletins from the state
and Federal Departments of
Agriculture, instructs the child
rem, and has a general direction
of the work. | hope the time
may come when at least one half
of the day will be given to manu-
al work in the elementary schools
of the state. We hope to make
the HIS supplement the RS. The
HIS are Head. Heart, Hand and
Habit. Our aim is to teach the
whole boy and the whole girl; to
do this we must reach the child
through his activities.
Every district has a school
library, which is being increased
each year. The county appropri-
tas 10 per cent for each child
every year, to be spent for books
for the school library; and the
State Library Commission, under
the able leadership of Miss Cor
nelia Marvin, helps to purchase
the best books for each district.
A desirable feature of our
school system, one which many
states do not have, is uniformity
of text books and courses of study
so that family may move from
one part of the state to another
without having to buy new text
books, nor will the children have
to adjust themselves to a differ
ent course of study.
Oregon has cause to be proud |
of her educational system. DR.. |
Chancellor, an author of note,
and a student of school systems,
said few years ago that Oregon
had the best school laws of any
state in the Union. He said this
after a close study of our system
at work. DR.. Updegraff. of the
of Education at
Washington, D. c., says that our
new supervisory law is one of the
best in the United States.
People are coming to realize
hat in order to make the schools
what they ought to be, they must
invest some of their time and in
crest, as well as their money.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE NOTES
(From Our Portland Correspoudenu
CONTINUED On Last Page

A rural conference that will
deal with all phases of farm life
will be held at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College this fall. Dates
have not been set yet, due to de-
sire to avoid possible conflicts
with other state gatherings.
The farm home will be studied
at the coming conference. II is
expected to have excursions run
from various parts of the state,
bringing representative farmers
in large numbers. Experts on
rural problems will talk and
teachers and clergymen will give
suggestions as to how country
life will be made more pleasant
and profitable.
The gathering is being arrang-
ed by Prof. Ralph d. Hetzel, di-
rector of extension at the college
and he hopes to make it compre-
hensive in scope and expects the
results will be helpful.
Oregon has contributed the
tallest flag pole in the world to
the Panama-Pacifc Exposition.
The stick measures 225 feet in
height and was sent to the Asto-
ria Centennial last summer. The
pole was slowed in a log raft and
taken to San Francisco. Port
land people have promised a flag,
50x1000 feet in size, to fly from
this big staff.
Picking of the Rogue River
Valley fruit crop is now under
way and it is the biggest in the
history of this famous section,
1t is estimated there will be from
125 to $50 cars of pears shipped
this season and from 500 to 600
cars of apples all of fine quality.
Investigations without end
have been directed at rural life
and the end is not yet, but now
comes the government with its
announced intention of muck
raking the cities, and they need
it more than the country ever
did. A survey is to be made of
urban life with a view to solving
some of the problems that are
found in every municipality. A
government official who passed
through Portland the past week
told of the plan and says great
municipal exhibit will probably
be gathered for the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition.
A small forest of fruit trees
has been donated by members of
the Nurse rymen's Association of |
the Pacific Coast as special prizes |
to be given at the Pacific North |
west Land Products show. The |
trees will be kept in good condi-
ton by the nurserymen and de-
livered upon the order of the
management of the land show at
planting time next spring.
Flax will make quite showing
this year in Oregon, according
to reports from those sections
where the crop had been planted.
Paintings made in the Willamette
Valley last spring are looking ex-
ceptionally we'll and experts say
it is as good flax as is usually
seen. 1t is believed there is a
great future in the Pacific North
west for the flax industry. About
5. 900 acres have been planted to
this crop this year.

Credit for this yarn is hereby rem
dered to w. J. Henderson, one of our

who are not well acquainted with Mr.
Henderson cherish the belief that he
thinks in fugues and speaks in SYM
phones Nothing short OF grand op-
era is ever considered worthy OF his
most Heeting attention. Whereas:
i was one of the guests at dinner
party the other night" said Mr.. Hen
derson Those invited were all mu-
slcians, critics or otherwise interested
IN the divine art Naturally enough,
some OF them were late. The hostess
tried TO distract our attention from the
tact that the dinner was being DELAYED
by bit OF music. Each of us was
asked to suggest musical theme on
winch she might improyise. Finally
she turned to ar old gentleman at my
LEFT.
Now said she, with an enchant-
ing smile, what will you have?'
How's that" asked the old gen.
ueman' cupping hand behind his
ear in token of his deafness.
/ say, what shall serve you?'
Well said the old gentleman, 4
