THAT WIFE OF YOURS.

Serving a ninety-day sentence in
the Sacramento jail is a wealthy Chi
cago real estate dealer, who, with
wife and two children, went to Cali
fornia to pass the winter.
The other night Belmont got full,
came to the hotel, spanked one of
the kids just because of John Bar
leycorn crouch, and, when the mis-
sus" interfered, smashed her in the
nose, bloodying her face and dress.
We don't mention this to add to
the mans punishment. He's already
getting his; daresay he was sorry
enough next day. Most brute men
are-and, you know, most men are
brutes, at least some of the time.
Our point is that he wasn't clever.
He could have hurt his wife lots
worse than by a smash in the face
and still kept on the laws safe side.
He could have neglected her.
He could have growled when she
came TO him for money.
He could have cut her to the quick
by unkind, sarcastic remarks.
He could have nagged at her until
her life was made a living hell
Lots of men who'll severely con-
denim this man are doing these more
cruel things right along. The law
doesn't touch 'em. Their consciences
aren't pricked by remorse the morn
ing after. They don't even know
that they are worse brutes than he.
Want a little advice about that
wife of yours?
Go home and kiss her. Shell out
money to her. Take her to the thea
ter if you can afford it. If you
can't, buy her some candy or a flow
er; show her some little attention.
And thank God every hour in the
day that she's willing on any terms
to live with the kind of creature the
average man is.

Sorrow came to you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first i'm
pulse now is to give up and sit down
in despair amid the wrecks of your
hopes. But you dare not do it. You
are in the line of battle and the cri-
sis is at hand. To falter a moment
would be to imperil some holy inter-
est. Other lives would be harmed
by your pausin!s. Holy interest
would suffer should your hands be
folded. You must not linger, even
to indulge in your grief. Sorrows
are not incidents in life and must
not interrupt us. We must leave
them behind while we press on to
the things that are before. Then
God has so ordered that in pressing
on in duty we shall find the truest,
noblest comfort for ourselves. Sit
ting down to brood over our sorrows,
the darkness deepened, creeps into
our heart and our strength changes
to weakness. But, if we turn away
from the gloom and take up the du-
ties and tasks to which God calls us,
the light will come again and we will
grow.
When all our hopes are gone,
'Tis well our hands must still keep
toiling on foe others sake.
For strength to bear is found in duty
done,
And he is blest who learns to make
The joy of others cure his own heart
ache.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Unity in the Home.

- NA@N AAOAhNs
The happiest place on earth should
be the home. A place of rest and
refuge, of peace and pleasure, of
love and joy. A home is all this
where the family is united, having
the same purpose and working for
the same end. There is not only
strength in unity, but blessings un-
numbered. Family unity is the basis
of family prosperity, as national
unity is the basis of a nations pros
perity.
1t is unity that makes the happi-
ness of home One discontented,
disloyal member can spoil the peace
of a household and make place of
torment where PARADISE should be.
There are many sins we can and
must forg We, but disloyalty to faith
er or mother, sister or brother, is the
act of traitor and should be de-
spised as such. If those who belong
to us have faults, let us hide them
in our hearts that the world will not
find them out. If misfortune comes
to the one member of the family, let
all share it and help the unfortunate
one to keep a proud face to the
world. Let us be true to our own.
Loyalty in friendship has been the
theme of poets, but loyalty to the
home and household is the fairest of
virtues and covers a multitude of
faults and follies.

Grew Old While Congress Talked.

Spokane, Wash, March 29.-Con-
gress will have to pass special bill
if Herbert M. Ostroski and c. A. w.
Dawson, two Spokane young men,
are granted lieutenants commissions
in the. army. Both have passed all
requirements and were recommended
for appointment by President Taft,
but the delay in confirmation by the
senate of number of appointments
has given the young men time
enough to exceed the age limit of 27
years. AS their cases are out of the
ordinary, they have received assur-
ance from number of senators and
representatives that special bill ad-
mitting them to commissions will be
passed.

THE BETTER SIDE.

The president of the National
Cash Register Company, of Dayton,
Ohio, has been held up to the exeera-
tion of the nation for some time be-
cause of the despiCable methods re-
sorted to by that corporation in
crushing out competition. He was,
and doubtless justly, sentenced in
the United States courts to year in
jail for the violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. But the floods at
Dayton have showed the other and
better side of his character. Though
a man of 70 years, he worked, bare
footed and bareheaded, in the at
tempts to rescue the victims, and has
turned the immense capacity of the
Cash Register Company into benef-
icent instrument of relief. The per-
feet organization which enabled the
company to crush out opposition has
also apparently helped it to be an
effective instrument in the relief of
the flood sufferers.
Another picture with two sides is
the U. S. army. Our socialist
friends, and many others, cry out
with unceasing vigor against the
waste and uselessness of the army
Yet never in recent years has there
been public calamity in which the
firm hand and highly effective or
ganization of the regular army has
not been foremost in succoring the
sufferers and main tanning order. It
was so at Frisco; it was so at Gal
weston; it was so at Omaha, only
last week, and Ashland residents will
remember the promptness and dis
patch with which the u. s. regulars
controlled the forest fires which
menaced this city in the fall of 1910.
Thus even in the army it will be seen
that the victories OF peace are even
greater than those of war and that
the captains of industry, even though |
piratical in their methods, have hui |
man hearts, and when some emer-
gency stirs the feeling of brother.
hood in them are effective powers
for good
Our older citizens will remember
the services OF the elder Vanderbilt
and John Jacob Astor in financing
the stricken nation in the story days
of the civil war, and all except the
youngsters will remember how the
younger Astor and others came to
the nations aid in the Spanish war.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to justify in any manner the actions
Of the National Cash Register Com
pany or of any other pirates of |
finance, but to call attention to the
fact that the officers are human be-
ings like the rest of us, with hearts
in their bosoms, and men of power
alike for good or evil. 1t is not that |
they are better OF worse than the
rest of us, but that they are men of
greater mentality or of greater pow
ers because of their positions. In
judging them let us judge their huge
operations with the charity we wish
a loving Heavenly Father to Judge
our small doings. Is there one of us
who can ask to be judged solely by
merit, and without charity? Let
them that be without sin first cast
a stone"

cigarettes, aping the styles of dudes

Adams Canal to BE Enlarged Soon.

hudIiS NdudI W IbC EnldiSeu soon.
klamath Falls, March 2S.-Con-
struction work to enlarge the Adams
canal on the north side of Tule lake
will begin within the next ten days,
according to the United States
reclamation offices in this city. En-
gineers John Yaden and Howard
Cleveland returned from a surveying
trip in that section Tuesday. BY
next spring much more land will be
watered.
The Adams canal when first built
carried enough water to irrigate all
the land outside of Tule lake, along
the north shore, but since the diver
sion canal was built from Lost river,
shutting off the supply from Tule
lake for the past year, the water in
the lake has receded until there is
a large area exposed. This reclaimed
lake bed will make most productive
farm land, with water. Several thou
sapd acres will be reclaimed by this
work,

Relation of Altitude to Hours OF
Sleep.

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount of sleep should be regu-
lated by altitude. Too much sleep,
they say, is as harmful as too much
food or drink. In low-lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but up in the noun
tains five hours is enough.

Boston a Foreign City.

Springfield Republican: The ten
dency of population in the United
States is strikingly suggested by the
figures which DR.. William H. Davis,
vital statistician of the city health
department, has gathered concerning
the nationality and parentage of the
people of Boston. Taking the CEN
sus of 1910 as basis, he finds that
fewer than quarter are native
whites of native parents. If the ex-
animation were carried one genera
tion farther back the result would
doubtless be to eliminate a large
proportion of this one-fourth. Bos-
ton, notwithstanding the external
appearance of colonial characteris-
tics which it still maintains, is prob
ably somewhat more foreign" than
many other American cities, but the
tendency here noted is undoubtedly
characteristic. 1t is interesting to
note, also, in Dr.. Davis report, that
the excess of females over males,
which has long been a New England
peculiarity appears to include all the
racial groups except the Asiatic. 1t
would have been surmised by good
many people that the Italians, for in
stance, would have shown an excess
of males. President Eliot's proposed
restriction against the immigration
of unattached" males would appear
to be unnecessary in Boston at least.

BAR THE GERM

one thing is certain--the busy little
germ is responsible for about all the
ills that flesh is heir to; and il we can
bar its entrance we can keep our sys-
TENS free from the seeds of disease.
The natural cavities of the BODY and
the openings afforded by cuts, scratch
es or insect bites are the points we
should guard; and it is not enough to
Just keep them clean: The germ is
persistent, aggressive. and more than
cleanliness is necessary to quiet its ac-
tivity.
Keep the germ out by destroying it..
Make the fight offensive instead of de-
fensiye. Nip trouble in the bud. The
daily use of reliable Peroxide anti
septic as a mouth wash or douche, or
applied locally to cuts, bruises,
scratches or insect bites, will. do this
promptly and effectively.
The best antiseptie to use is LIST0-
GEN. 1t goes farther than Peroxide
of Hydrogen by uniting with that most
efficient germ destroyer the remedial
and antiseptic properties of Thymol,
Menthol and Eucalyptol.
These valuable elements take up the
work where Peroxide of Hydrogen
leaves off and with their help LISTO-
GEN not only destroys the germ but in
some degree repairs the damage the
germ has done.
Ask your druggist for LIST0GEN;
you will delight in the purifying, re-
freshing sensation that it gives. %

of ~the Underwood bill II Is moi likely
that their presence would have hurt
the market severely. In years past
during the stringencies or quasi-pan-
ics on the mainland, the local market
has been able to weather them well;
and IL is likely that II would have
done the same thing this time had not
the tariff danger lent its weight to
that of the other two elements.
II would seem from this that the
low prices OF sugar stocks are due al
most entirely to the proposed tariff
revision; and that the other two
named considerations are of no great
Importance. In speaking of this the
brokers are almost of an undivided
opinion that stock values will rapidly
improve with the settlement of the
tariff bill. this despite what changes
II might make in the duty on sugar.
Sugar men here, having given up
hope of defeating the bill, and relying
upon having undone at another SEES
sion Of congress- what is done at this
time in the tariff on the product, have
begun to lay their plans to economize,
and some surprising results are be-
ginning to be made known. Differ
ent plantations, 1t is learned, have cut
down large sums in their expenses.
Managers Estimates Close.
The yield for the season on the
large plantations has been close upon
the managers first estimate. In some
instances II exceeded It slightly, but
as q rule the estimates and the actu-
al outputs hit 1t OF about even. Take
Eva for an example. The manager
at the opening Of the season estimat-
ed that the crop would be $4,000; but
a little later he changed that to
$4,000. The actual output was 29,400
tons In the case Of Waialua, though
the crop is not all miIled, the mana
ger estimated the output at 29,507,
and the output will be within q few
tons OF that.
The increase in sugar prices is
noteworthy. While the average price
of Il from November to July 81 was
|$71.34 ton, 1t was bringing $500
q ton on Thursday. The highest price
1t has reached was ss1 in November;
the lowest $66.36 in May. However,
most Of the crop was sold In the No
wonderfully period.
There has been ASSOC tons
shipped so far this season. At this
time last year $4,000 had been
been shipped.
The following figures show the
amount Of the yields and the man
ayers estimate Of few Of the plan
tations:

mate; yield 5O.31O; Maui Agriculture

PESSIMISTC ESTIMATION OF
SUGAR STOCKS VALUE ISFAR
|, TOO Low, Contend EXPERTS
Data Secured from Leading Plantations SubstantateS Claim
of differentiation Uncertainty of Tariff and Financial
Strngency of Country Responsible for Present Depression

Sugar stocks are far below their
value. Pessimism is being overdone
The sugar plantations are in a far
better condition than is generally be-
lieved."
These statements come from a man
who is closely identified with the SUI
gar industry Of the islands and who
has spent the greater part OF his life
IN its study. The same statements
are made by other persons, also In In
innate relations with the industry.
In looking for the basis upon which
they have been made the Star BuIle-
tin has obtained some data from the
leading plantations. which, IT seems.
amply support the proposition that
sugar stocks are now underEalued.
They show that the crop Just taken
off has been large and indicate that
the balance to be carried over this
year will be large. The bountiful
rains which have fallen on the
plantations lately have put the
young cane in excellent condi-
ton. AS there are aboue 10000
tons Of sugar to be shipped before the
season closes, II is not yet possible
to get definite figures on the total
sum which the yield on the several
plantations viii bring. but an estimate
made at this time should not be far
aniss.
There are, Of course. three main
considerations which must be kept In
mind in approaching the question of
why stocks have dropped to their
present low figure. They are: the
threatened tariff revision. iIhe low
price Of sugar. and the countrywide
money stringency. Reports from the
east indicate that the stringency is
coming TO an end. the tariff appre-
tensions are being discounted there.
Sugar prices are Improving.
Notwithstanding, the prices Of SUI
gar stocks have remained virtually
unimproved. Slight fractional recov-
cries have been made. only to. be fol-
