Take the case of Ezra Boil said
Abe. ITO begin with, think of his
name. A name like that is hard
enough luck to prove my contention,
but Ezra lived up to it, When he
was baby he fell into the horse

he got hold. of, a can ofsconoentrated

bring him round. He fell out of an
apple tree when he was six and broke
both arms and a leg, and just as he
was hobbling round again he went on
a watermelon stealing expedition with
six other boys. Tho others got away
but the dog caught Ezra and chewed
him up until the farmer came along
and he put on finishing traces with
a harness trace. He fell in love when
he was seventeen, spent all he had

GRANGE FIGHTS WASTE
OF TIME IN SCHOOL
VIII Ask Laws to Cut Down Number
of Holidays for Teachers.


of Holidays for Teachers.
Rcseburg, Or, Dec. 4.-School hol-
idays in addition to Saturdays and
Sundays that bring the total of such
days to over 10 month are in dis
favor with the Central Grange, of
Douglas county. The Grange has
passed a resolution favor.ng a state
law compelling public school teach
ers to teach not less than 20 days a
month throughout their contract
term. A petition asking the legisla-
ture to enact such a law is now being
circulated among the subordinate
Oranges of the county.
The resolution was prompted by the
practice of taking two and sometimes
three days out of school week for
the observation of Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years and at
tendance at county institutes. Teach
ers have drawn their regular salaries
at such times, while the pupils receiv-
ed no educational benefits. The
grange is willing that in cases where
less than 20 days of school have been
taught in a month, the teachers COM
pensate therefore by extra days SER
vice in other monthss.

AMERICAN OLYMPIC RECORD.
U. s. Athletes Have Won 75 Out of Hi
 Events in Past Olympiads.

The American athletes on the way 10 Stockholm for the sixth Oympiad have behind them the history of American triumphs in the athletic events of all five modern renewals of the ancient Green games. At the first revival at Athens in 1896 they captured first prize medals in of the 14 athletic events on the programme, leaving the Eng lishmen and the Danes and Greeks each. At Paris in 1900 there were 23 events, of which the Americans won
 r; at home, in St Louis 1904. the home talent won all but of the 26 events; at Athens again in 1906 they took II of the P events. and in LOrt- don four years ago they brought the proYess of the American athlete to the fore again by capturing II of the 26 events.
 In short, out of the III athletic events listed in @ tabular review of winners In previous Olympiads the Americans are credited with 75 victories; of the records established in g. different events in the list, the Americans hold 21. In six events on the Stockholm programme the Americans have al ready in preliminary trials made new records, forecasting, as all patriotic en- thusiasts believe, an assured triumph for d sixth time.

DON'T GROW BALD
 YOUNG MAN!
Take Care of Your Hair While You have Hair to Take Care Of.

It's safe ten to one bet that the young man who uses PhhlSlbN Sage as an occasional hair dressing will never grow bald.
 There's reason, of course, and its a very good and sufficient one.
 Dandruff germs cause falling hair and falling hair means thinner hair and in due time badness.
 PARiSlAN Sage prevents beldness, by destroying the cause of baldness- the little persistent vociferous dan druff germ.
 If you have dandruff or itching scalp it means that dandruff germs are sap ping the vitality from the roots of your hair. Get rid of all hair troubles by using PARlSlAN Sage.
 It is not a dye, mind you, neither does 1t contain poisonous sugar of lead or even sulphur. It is a scientific preparation that abolishes dandruf. stops falling hair and scalp itch, and makes hair grow lustrous and lux uriant.
 Many young women as well as men are growing bald and for the name reason.
 Use delightful, refreshing PARIS IAN Sage; 1t nOurishes the hair roots. if the roots are not dead. and brings to every user a head of glorious hair radiant and fascinating. Large bot tie for 50 cents at drug stores and toilet counters. See that you get PARlSlAN Sage. The Lee & Osgood Co. guarantee it

BRINGS MESSAGE FROM NoRTHERNBAPTlsT CONVENTION
Rev. p. c. Wright Reviews the Meet ings Before His Congregation.

Rev. r. C. Wright of the Central Baptist church. who has been attend ing the Northern Baptist convention at Des Moines, brought a message from the convention to his congrega- ton at the Sunday morning service.
 One of the interesting points, which brought inc convention news close was the fact that it elected as president Henry Bond of Vermont, who was speaker here at one of the meetings of the Men and Religion Forward movement.
 Among convention facts presented by Rev MT. Wright. was his state , ment that there were 1.465 delegates and S66 visitors, a total of 2.331. Of l this number 729 were ministers and 796 laymen, including women. Nine l delegates went from Connecticut. The Women's American Baptist l Home Mission society reported total amount available for the year as s2O6,- = 05466, and total disbursements as 1 S205, ,471.46. The American Baptist i Home Mission society received from | the denomination for all purposes $60S O250S, and reported a deficit for the year of S4S,35T.47. It received by | baptism Il, 1852.
 l The American Baptist Foreign Mis- i sion society reported total receipts as | $1,130,05143 and a deficit of s7S,65g.43.
 The total number of baptisms in i Asia and Africa was 9,371, and in Eu- rope 16,924 Present membership in 1 Asia and Africa is 56,897, and in Eu- 1 rope 133. .451. The American Baptist l Publication society expended in it's missionary department nearly S270 900 "Baptists are not sending their pro- 1 portion of students to the great instl- l tutions of learning by fifty per cent
 said Prof C. J. Galpin. Baptists have l a smaller percentage of students in
 higher schools of learning than any | other denomination. The annual ser son was delivered by Rev. H. L. More house, D.D., secretary of the A. B. H M. S. It was a wonderful outlining oi
 denominational policy and was listened 1 to for an hour and half by at least 5000 people
 The investigation of the Foreign Missionary society did not reveal any
 good grounds for criticism. After al
 was said in the report of the com
 mittee appointed one year ago to look into the expense account it was found
 that we should have confidence rather l than suspicion of unwisdom. The whole matter was treated in the mos frank and earnest matter and finally disposed of by electing practically tht
 same board again. The new foreigr
 secretary is Dr. J. H. Franklin, whom
 we shall hope to have with us as soo1
 as it conveniently be arranged.
 The denomination is feeling very
 strongly that there must be an ad
 vance step taken in missionary work ] The calls of the world are stoo stronl
 to be overlooked or unheeded It wa!
 proposed that our advance nov,
 should be shown in an attempt to rais,
