The Fathers Teachings.

The boy loves his mother probably
more than he does his father, but so
far as relates to the affairs of life in
general and on its hard side, he has
ten times the confidence in his faith
er's practical and available wisdom
than he has in that of his mother.
And if his father finds it necessary
in the conduct of business to strain
one of two of the commandments the
boy will keep on repeating them to
his mother and commence breaking
them with his father, and that. too.
without feeling that his sinuosity of
the procedure involves any great
amount of inconsistency. The only
thing that will save the boy and hold
him in any way true to the fixed pole
of rectitude that no considerations of
place or circumstance can deflect
him, is that he is under the domina-
ton of a father whose life in the
midst of the world incarnates the
principles learned from the mother
in the midst of the home. The boy
will believe in the feasibility of the
mothers doctrine of righteousness if
he sees his father take it out and
exemplify it under the stress of bust
ness.
The fathers life in this degree
measures the power of the mothers
tuition, and is the hand of God
fastening or postponing the fulfill
ment of her longings and prayers for
the children of the household.

Warrant Issued BY Real Estate Man

Charles Lebo, real estate man,
and Charles Tull, a livery stable
man, at Medford, had disagreement
Monday in which Tull is alleged to
have taken swing at Lebo, and as
a result a warrant was issued by
Justice of the Peace Glen o. Taylor,
charging Tull with assault and bat
terry. Mr.. Lebo said afterward that
Tull failed to land his swing, but
that they wrestled about in the dirt
considerably, and that his hat was
broken. He swore to the complaint.
The trouble occurred over a differ
ence of opinion regarding work be-
ing done on the property of the Med
ford Realty & Improvement Com
pany.

RELATIVES.
(By Howard l.. Rann.) }

Relatives are mem bers of society
whose time is fully occupied in visit
ing somebody who is perfectly salts
fled with the size of his family. This
country may occasionally run short
on statesmen and ready money, but
there is no falling off in the crop
of relatives who unload themselves
on the front porch with blithe smile
and a cotton flannel nightdress.
There are two kinds of relatives
rich and poor. Rich relatives are
courted with great assiduity and SOU
ventr postcards, showing the new
court house, and Main street, as it
appears when the lodge is at ease.
The flow of postcards ceases quite
suddenly after a rich relative dies
and breathes new life into the Home
for the Aged with dark green coupon
bonds. A rich relative is a pleasant
thing to have on the family tree un-
till his mind begins to wander in the
direction of college endowments and
the benighted and unclad heather,
when his picture is removed from
the front parlor and banished to the
hair trunk in the attic. Not all poor
relatives are alike. Some are very
companionable and fond of a change
of scenery, and mattresses, and are
liable to drop in and congest the
spare bedroom with arctic overshoes
and a telescope grip, while others
never do any visiting except to nurse
the sick and render service, without
any fee. Relatives are sometimes
quite free with advice as to the prop
er rearing of somebody else's chill
dren, and when their advice is disre-
garded they fail to show up until
it is time to divide the estate. Rela-
tives are appreciated most at Christ
mas time, when they shower the
home with drums, Noah's arks and
stick candy. We would not care to
lose our relatives for any length of
time, no matter how often they come
or how long they stay.

THIS COUNTRY QUITE SAFE.

The few Americans who may be
of Congressman HObson's way of
thinking will be able to take comfort
from some of the things which KiyO
Sue Inui, vice-president of the Great
Lakes International Arbitration So
ciety, said in his address before the
Young Mems Christian Association
at Salem recently.
How much money do We need to
wage war against the United States" "
Inui said he asked of a prominent
Japanese financier. Why" replied
the latter, mo one would lend us
money to fight America" And a
military expert OF whom he inquired
how many men would be needed to
invade this country responded, The
two largest nations in the world
could not win against the United
States on land"
That is the case in a nutshell.
There is no desire on the part OF this
country to boast of its power and
its resources. But it has both. If
We were sufficiently provoked. we
should Highland win. The day has
passed-at any rate with respect TO
the United States-when the capture
of a capital city means the end of a
Nrar II is cnpcaivohl tbot n hostile
fleet might lombard New York, or
any other seaboard city, and land
troops, Washington might be taken
as it was in 1S12-but that would
settle nothing.
The United States is too vast a
country to be conquered, even if
parts of it were overrun. Headquar-
ters could be established anywhere
that it might be found desirable, and
mobilization effected, munitions oi
war manufactured and a campaign
waged which in the end would be
successful against any probable en-
emy.
OF course, as between the United
States and Japan, war is not to bt
considered at all. Japan is not a ricl
nation and just at present finds i
very necessary to make money. No
only could that country not expec
to profit by struggle with America
but such a conflict would divert Jap
anese effort from profitable fields.

keep out much of the discord. If the
hair is getting thin, it takes less time
to comb it, and then it is not all the
time falling down over your eyes;
or if it be getting white. we think
that color is as respectable as any
other-that is the color of the snow
and the blossoms and the clouds and
all angelic habiliments. Do not
worry because the time comes on
when you must go into the next
world. 1t is only better room with
brighter pictures, finer society and
sweeter music. Robert McCheyne
and John Know and Harriet Newell.
Mrs. Hemans, John Milton and Mar
tin Luther will be good enough COM
pany for the most of us. The corn
stalk standing in the field today will
not sigh dismally when the huskers
leap over the fence and, throwing
their arms around the stack. swing it
to the ground; it is only to take the
golden ear from the husk. Death
for the aged Christian is only husk-
ing time, and then the load goes in
from the frosts into the garner. Our
congratulations to those who are
nearly done with the nuisances of
this world. Give your staff to your
little grandson to ride horse on. You
are going to be young again and you
will have no need for crutches. May
the clouds around the setting sun be
golden and such as lead the weather

WHO PAYS FOR ADVERTISING.

Oregon Statesman: Skeptics about
advertising have been known to raise
the question as to who pays for all
this publicity, and even to allege that
its cost is loaded on the consumer.
This is logic of about the same
correctness as to say, when a store
makes an addition to its sales force
in order to handle its growing busi-
ness, that the cost of the new sales
people is added to the cost of the
goods.
For advertising is simply form
of salesmanship, and the most eff
cient kind
The growth OF business that a
store gets through advertising works
TO the advantage of the public In
every business are certain fixed
charges usually called overhead
costs" for rent, salary of manager.
il one is employed, interest on capi-
tai invested and borrowed money, in
surance, etc.
II is usually the case that when a
business is increased, the overhead
costs do not increase very much.
Consequently they become a smaller
charge on every dollar of goods sold.
The cost of advertising is paid
through this increase OF business
that reduces the overhead charges.
Furthermore, it tends to reduce
the proportional expense of sales
people. Good advertising should
double the work the salespeople have
TO do. but the force Of clerks is not
necessarily doubled Much Of their
time before was unoccupied. and
spent in listless loafing. as tiresome
TO the clerk as it is Improbable to
the employer.
IL a merchant doubles his business
and increases his salespeopIe so per
cent to get the work done, a fourth
of the expense of clerk hire that has
TO be charged up to each article sold
is saved. That will pay for a very
big advertising bill, and leave a
profit over.

GAME BIRDS AND THE FARMERS.

1t has been estimated by the
United States agricultural depart
ment that the codling moth and cur
culio apple pests cost American fruit
growers $S,25O,OOO a year in spray
ing operations and $12,OOO,OO0 in
the shrinkage of value in the apple
crop. The chinch bugs, in a single
season, have done $2O,00O.0OO of
damage to wheat; the boil weevil
as much damage to cotton. Tree in
sect pests are held responsible for
$100, 100000 of destruction every
year, The charges against insect
pests, according to the government
experts, total s42O.1OO,OOO annually.
This tremendous price is what the
farmers of America are paying for
the slaughter of insect-eating birds.
For every swallow killed by shooters
trying their skill, for every robin
killed for food, or woodpecker killed
NNNAASC VI NAC AAllSldhCu lucd lndA
woodpeckers do harm, some farmer
must pay in loss of grain, vegetables
or fruit. There are seven states in
which the robin is regularly and le-
gally shot as game. Five states per-
nit blackbirds to be shot as game,
and 26 list doves as game birds,
though doves are among the most
voracious of insect eaters and there
fore OF immense value to farmers.
Under the provisions of three bills
now before congress, the protection
of migrating birds is to be taken over
by the federal government. As ex-
perience has shown that the individ-
ual states will not or cannot protect
them, the duty should be assumed by
Washington, which has a way of
making its authority felt even with
the most reckless. Farmers should
urge on their congressman the neces-
sity OF stopping this needless S42O,-
100000 yearly loss.

The Child Welfare Bulletin.

Today in Peoria. ILL.,, there appears
new publication which stands for
the great child welfare movement. 1t
is to be the official organ of a num-
Der of societies. so far as their work
is identified with the work among
the Children. The Child Welfare
Bulletin can become a great power
in the community, entering the
homes of hundreds of Peorians and
showing what is really being done
for the children of that community.
While the work is yet in its infancy
in Peoria, yet the men and women
who are actively interested in it are
earnest and aggressive. They are
determined that conditions for the
children throughout that city shall
be bettered. Their aim is happier
homes and better citizenship. If anv
one can think out any subjects more
laudable. than this, let him speak
right out. If every town and city
had a like organization our peniten-
tiaries would not be crowded.

A woRKINGMEN's CLUB.

The Eugene Guard says: ''The
movement for a workingman's club
in Eugene is a good one and should
not be allowed to drop. A we'll
conducted resort where men of all
classes in their everyday working
clothes will feel at home, enabling
them TO pass their leisure time in
reading or recreations that are not
harmful, is one of the real needs of
this city. The business and profes-
sional men have their commercial
club, the fraternal orders have SINH
lar resorts, but the workingman' s
interests in this respect have been
entirely overlooked. The idea of
charity should be kept away from,
since self-respecting, industrious la
borers are willing and able to pay
their way and require only organ iza-
tion in the right direction to enable
them TO carry out a sensible, bust
nesslike plan of this kind themselves.
The details must be carefully worked
out, and when this is done the peo-
pie of the city generally will un-
doubtedly come forward with the as
sistance needed to meet the initial
cost of securing and furnishing suit
able2 quarters. If rightly planned
and properly managed the club,
rest room, " resort" or whatever it
may be called, will take care of itself
after it is opened"
1t has long been the belief of the
writer that the hold which the saloon
has on many of the men of the man
ual working class is not so much the
desire for intoxicants nor for low
company. but the fact that the sa-
loon. which its advocates term the
poor mans club" is the only place
where a laboring man can spend an
evening without feeling that he must
go to the task of dressing up-the
only place where he is made to feel
that his clothes do not count. The
average man is so weary when night
comes that he does not feel like
dressing up, and besides he does not
feel comfortable in his Sunday-go-
to-meeting" garb and it makes him
self-conscious and he does not enjoy
himself. Even at the fraternal So
ciety gatherings it is the unwritten
rule that while the member whose
duties compel or allow him to wear
good clothes at all times may go in
his business garb, yet the brother
who appears in overalls and frock
feels out of place in them and equal
ly out of place in unaccustomed garb.
For this reason many of them after
having Joined some fraternal organ
ization fail to attend, and again. the
lodge may fall on the night when it
is inconvenient for them to attend
and on other nights they codid go
out had they some place to go. A
workingmen's club would be of value
in every town, and especially in those
where there is a good per cent of the
men working at vocations requiring
| rough garb. Whether or not there
is a great need for such a club in
Ashland is question which only in
vestigadon among the men who
would be benefited by it, including
the small ranch owners who when
they come to town have to come pre-
pared to handle produce which would
soil good clothes if worn, can deter
mine.

Growing Old.

Do not be fretful because you have
come to spectacles. While glasses
look premature on a young mans
nose, they are an adornment to an
octogenarian's face. Besides that,
when your eyesight is poor you miss
seeing a great many things-un-
pleasant things-that the younger
are obliged to look at. Do not be
worried because your ear is becom-
ing dull. In that way you can escape
being bored with many of the things
that are said, if the gates of sound

The debt of gratitude the country

can citizens, there is no manner or

FALLING LEAF AND FADING
TREE.

The breeze rustles through the
trees. and the golden, brown and red
leaves come floating down to earth.
Night begins TO don her sable man
tie earlier, the birds will soon wing
their way to the south, and glorious
summer will pay her lingering fare
well.
II is a very glorious thing, this
summer or ours. Even the filth, the
ugliness and the sordidness of our
cities cannot altogether rob summer
OF its beauty. From even the mean
est street one can raise ones eyes
TO the glorious blue of the infinite
sky and review the majestic process
sion of fleecy clouds; the. sun gilds
with its rays the ugliest building and
imparts TO il something of its own
splendor, and velvet night conceals
the ravages of man as it reveals in
its blazing stars the majesty of God.
There are few of us who do not feel
some regret at the passing of sum-
mer. and yet. 10 the man who loves
nature, fall is one of the most beau
tiful and wonderful seasons of the
year.
Let us forget our troubles. forget
for little the bitter struggle of life,
all the heartlessness, the inhumanity,
the selfishness. the greed, all those
vices of men that endlessly war
against beauty, and go out and COM
mune with nature. Let us muse for
while on the serenity with which
the mighty mother moves about her
eternal purposes.
In these days nature is preparing
for the marvellous changes of winter.
She is stripping the trees and the
shrubs of their foliage as the first
step in the great transformation.
Come out in the park and watch her
at work. How trivial and common
place seem the labOrs of the greatest
of human artists, compared with this
master of masters. Look at the col
ors on those leaves-that brilliant
yellow, this rich crimson, all those
wonderful browns blending so mar
velously with that beautiful green
background. Then look upward,
look at the sky where the sun is set
ting. What a riot of color, and each
tint with message, each glow with
tale of the coming change.
Slowly, with majestic tread, nature
moves onward to the fulfillment of
her unalterable purpose; and think
you that purpose does not include
us, the most perfect of her children?
Who may doubt it? In the bewilder-
ment of our sorrows, in the persis-
tency of our pain, faith oftentimes
grows weak. But in our heart of
hearts do We ever really doubt? We
know that We are not playthings of
blind fate, but a part in a tremen-
dous scheme which shall one day be
worked out to infinite good.
Often our burdens seem too heavy
for our strength, our courage falters
and despair creeps upon us. Yet,
remember this: If the eternal spring
does not dawn for us, it will for
those who come after us. What
CLEANS of sunshine We have were
bought for us by the tears and the
anguish of those who went before.
Let us not be untrue to our trust.
