solitude came the moral law, which is
the basis of all our Jurisprudence to
this day. Pond lilies thrive in water,
palms thrive best in warm climate.
The polar bear is at home in his
frigid zone Of the north. Religion and
religious ideas are born in solitude.
The noblest religious spirit Of all these
have found the silence congenial en-
vironment,
"And 1t is not only true of religion
and religious truth, but all truth has
its roots in solitude The men who
have given birth to the ideas which
have influenced civilization have been
almost invariably men from the ST.
lence. They have taken time to med
itate, to reflect and to think I do
not mean that they have been re-
cluses; hermits Paul was a busy
man among men. Moses had on him
the cares Of old Israel, and was con-
stantly among the people. But they al
ways took time to go to the solitude
and commune with God. Alone with
God gave them their pospel and pow
er, mad they rule today the enlight-
ened races Of the earth"

Birthday Party.

January 27, 1913, was a glad day to
a number Of people Of Spring valley.
Oregon, for they went, as their custom
is on that day, to the home of Capt. P.
f. Clark to celebrate his birthday. On
this day he marked the saith milestone
on the road Of life. The fact that he
Is the Oldest citizen in that part of
Polk county makes the custom the
more appropriate. To say that he is
hale and hearty at this advanced age.
might seem too surong to put the case,
yet he is enjoying fair health for one
Of his years, and he certainly enjoyed
along with his estimable wife, the Wis
1t of his neighbors on this occa-
sion. Every one knows, who is ac-
quainted with Mr.. Clark, that his
house on the hill stands open to gen
erous hospitality. 1t is not expected
that the old folks furnish the dinner;
they simply give way to the visitors
and the tables are well furnished from
the larders Of kind neighbors. On this
occasion cold meats were provided in
abundance and in a variety Of styles
Sauces well seasoned were on the side
Pies and cakes brought up the last
part, and all who were present partook
of a feast. In all there were about
fifty persons, besides the children, who
feasted, joked and laughed till the din
ner hour was spent After dinner an
hour was employed in rather infor-
NAL way making speeches and singing.
This took place in the parlor with
Miss Jayce Crawford at the organ and
Prof, Crawford leading the singing and
acting as toastmaster. Really there
We're some good speeches made, both
by the men and the women. Some lit
erary caste was given to the meeting
by a quotation from Simpsons Beau
tiful Willamette" viz: Time that
scars us, mains and mars us, leaves
no track or trace on thee" Rev. Mr.,
Mckinley made telling speech. So
did Mr.. John Phillips, Among the
lady speakers were Mrs p. F. Clark
and Mrs. w. j. Crawford Mr.. Clark's
speech, welcoming them all there, was
well received. The young men enjoyed
themselves hugely in jumping and
half-hammond.
We note that Willard and Lawrence
Marsh, from Astoria, nephews Of Mr..
Clark, were there. So also, was Mrs.
Johnson, of Salem. Many who have
been accustomed to be at this annual
gathering were not there, Some on
account Of sickness and some on ac-
count of removals or death. This was
certainly one Of the most joyful meet
ings Of It's kind ever held at this place,

THE sIx-YEAR TERM.

Leavenworth Times: 1t is alto
gether probable that, had not Theo-
dore Roosevelt tried to break into
the presidency again there would be
no discussion at this time Of q con-
stitutional amendment governing the
term Of president and 1t Is equal
" certain that, were 1t not for the
influence OF his candidacy some who
are now opposing the six-year term
would be for it. They take its pro-
posal at this time as a reflection
upon the little tin god Of Oyster
Bay and, losing sight Of the merits
of the case, resent the fancied slight
to Mr.. Roosevelt.
But the proposed amendment to
the constitution is right in the line
of progress and is one of the most
important movements along that line
yet made. Give a president but one
term, make that six years and 1t Is
safe to say that he will labor during
that time to make a reputation such
as he and his posterity will take
pride in.
1t has been argued that, II the
president have no hope Of reelection
he will, instead of trying to re-elect
himself, labor to secure the election
of some favorite. Perhaps there will
be something of this but no mar
will go the lengths to elect friend
that he will to elect himself. Each
president will be more anxious foI
his own reputation than for the po-
litical welfare of his friends, and
may be depended upon to try. to give
a clean. able administration.
The amendment should pass, linn
iting the term to six years and for
bidding the reelection of man who
has once held the office.

London, Feb. 5.-The Balkan al

from Turkey of million dollars a
day for every day that the renewed
war continues, in addition to the
200 million dollars indemnity they
attempted to get at first. n
Representatives of the allies re-
naming in London today admitted
that the allies proposed to make the
Turks pay an indemnity that will
completely cover the cost to each
state since the beginning Of the war,
equal in all to million dollars a
day. with cash to pay off that part
of the Ottoman national debt for
which conquered Turkish territory
is responsible.

varies from one-fourth TO one-twen-
tieth. But. in general, ten inches
OF snow are counted as equal to one
inch OF water. Therefore, snow IA
an important factor in supplying
moisture, particularly in the west.
Perhaps It's greatest benefit Is in
acting as a blanket to protect win
ter wheat and alfalfa from winter
killing. Fortunately, the weather has
not been severe thus far this win
ter, therefore these crops have not
yet suffered from lack OF covering.
But severe freezing weather without
snow, might be serious to winter
wheat and grass.
During the winter the government
issues snow bulletins every Tuesday.
BY watching It the business man
can form his own opinion as to the
help the snow will give the crops
in the coming summer. During the
past month there has been consid-
erably more snow than last year in
the northern portions of the Rocky
mountains and the plateau regions,
but less in an northern districts
from the Missouri valley eastward.
A large percentage Of the winter
wheat section, including the soft red
which suffered SO severely last win
ter, has been mostly bare. But thus
far there has been no serious freez-
ing.
Men in the wheat trade watch
the snow map as sailor does the
weather. other business men could
study It with profit to themselves.

SNOW.

The first real snow Of the season
has come rather late but it is well
come to- the farmers. The coming
OF timely snow is of great import
ance to the country-more SO than
many persons think.
The absence of snow is not neces-
sarily unfavorable to crops, although
when taken in connection with ex-
IRENE conditions Of temperature 1t
might result in severe injury to
wheat and grass. Snow Is, however,
Of great Importance to agriculture,
It's value depending largely upon the
locality in which it falls.
The three most important func-
tons of snow are fertilization, irri-
cation and protection to winter
crops, like wheat. clover and alfalfa.
Nitrogen Is one Of the most import
ant and most expensive elements of
plant food. It is constituent part
Of the atmosphere. Sand falling snow
ebSoTbs an appreciable amount Of it
tgreater or less. according to at
mospherie conditions at the time Of

Of the snow b carried into the
