The most useful, the most reliable
and the most profitable of all domes-
tic things are the COW and the hen,
whose products are always saleable
and always usable by the family
You show us man who takes good
care of dairy or one who gives his
poultry intelligent care, and we will
show you man who runs no store
bill and keeps square with the world.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

A bright and popular New York
high school girl graduated in dress
that cost only 40 cents, and from all
accounts looked as we'll as any other
girl in the class. AS the Christian
Science Monitor suggests, high cost
of living may be attacked success
fully from any angles.

An exchange truthfully remarks
that the men who are walking from
ocean to ocean and doing other stunts
are wasting their time. They cannot
make walking popular again. The
modern man will not walk. He
wants to ride in an automobile, or
fly-if he is going to make change
at all it will be to flying.

If you should be so unfortunate as
to break borrowed article, insist on
paying for it when it is returned to
it's owner. Put yourself in the other
mans place and note how you would
like to have a broken article brought
home when the borrower makes no
attempt to make amends for breaks.

What fools these mortals be! A

because his wife has been silent for
ten years. Some people don't know

Jackson's Good Example.

Grants Pass Courier: The people
of Jackson county are to be congrat-
ulated upon the vote by which they
authorized the issuance of half a
million OF bonds for the building of
a system of highways throughout the
county. 1t is expected that the bonds
can be placed as they are needed to
prosecute the work, the bond market
having shown some improvement
during the past few weeks. The
good work started by Jackson should
be maintained through all OF the
counties of the west side till the
Pacific Highway is a paved boule-
ward from California to Washington.
California has appropriated funds for
the building OF the highway, and
Washington has already constructed
much of the road within her own
state. The greatest expense for the
traveller by automobile is in the wear
and tear on tires, and the life of a
tire on smooth roads will be much
crater than on the present rough
roads.
The cost of good highways will be
returned many times over to the
community through which they pass
before the first bond becomes due.

THE JOYS OF OLD AGE.

The esteemed Ashland Tidings
philosophers with serene sagacity
upon the blessedness of old age.
We're not at all convinced" it OBJ
serves with tempered confidence,
that ripe old age isn't the best es-
tate of all, for then the heart is
mellowed, the mind matured and the
spirit seasoned, while in the treasury
of memory are stored innumerable
joys the better for the enchantment
which distance lends
This is put forth to chasten the
forward enterprise of the enthusiasts
who seek for the secret of perpetual
youth. Some of them, the Tidings
remarks with pardonable displeas-
ure, promise themselves through a
regime of diet and exercise a life
span of at least 200 years, with a
sneaking hope of eternity But no
eternity for the Tidings, whose hopes
are unalterably fixed, we take it, on
a better land. Forgetful of the sapid
peaches which bloom on the hillsides
around it and the delectable pears,
whose flavor even now is such as to
make the pilgrims in Beulah envious,
our ascetic contemporary cries away,
vain Joys and lifts it's eyes in in
flexible remuneration to the hills of
Paradise.
What is youth? A mere fever,
an unquiet dream, hot summer af
ternoon of passion which ends in
safety and leaves naught behind but
sad memories and black regrets. The
only time when this vale OF tears
yields anything like true happiness
is old age. One is deaf then, happily
deaf, so that he cannot hear the
roosters crow in the morning and
the motorcycles explode at midnight.
If his wife scolds it makes no differ
ence. If the neighbors quarrel he
can interpret it as a love scene.
Blessed is he who has no hearing.
sight, too, goes with the years
and one is relieved of all the disa-
greeable visions it unfolds. Who
cannot remember seeing things that
remain a baleful blot in the recol-
lection? In old age, when the eyes
are gone for good and all, no such
painful incidents occur. Happy old
age! Cicero wrote in praise of it
after his youth was irrecoverably
gone. Solomon denounced the worth
less delights of youth when his hair
was gray and his limbs withered.
Vanity of vanities,' said the forlorn
old preacher, tottering on the edge
of the grave from which he knew
there was no return Shakespeare
sets forth the charms of old age as
we'll as anybody:
"'* Last scene of all
That ends this strange, eventful his
tory
Is second childhood and mere OBJ
livion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste,
sans everything.

Eugene Guard: Jackson county
has just voted half million dollars
for the building of paved highway
from the California line to the Jose
phine county border. This is another
evidence that Oregon is waking up
to her opportunities. Soon we will
have not only equaled California, but
surpassed her in actual development.
Here we only take advantage of ma
ture's handiwork, but California has
to assist nature.

Oregonian.

OASoOhiNii'
There is a deal of difference in a
ripe. mellow, lucious pear, delectable
both to behold and taste, and an
over-ripe, decayed one lying half
covered on the ground. The Oregon
ian writes like Oslerized decrepitude
suffering with the gout. To such a
state of mind Solomon is the choic-
est type, hurting denunciation at the
delights of youth; sterile, RETROSPECT
tive vision dimmed, peering at the
past and finding there but paths that
lead to vital waste, sans taste, sans
everything, moaning to renew pas
sions long satiate and revil amid hot
pleasures that are gone. Such are
the hopeless longings of decay.
Not so with ripe old age-the
evening of a well-spent life-vital-
ity conserved and mind alert, with
keener thoughts of men and eyes
that, though dimmed with age, still
see behind the shining mask of
craft. Knowing at last the unstud-
led gesture of esteem, the reverend
eyes made rich with honest thought
and holding hige above all other
things-high as hopes great throb-
bing star above the darkness of the
dead-the love OF wife and child
and friend"
We are not ready to accept the
extreme type. 1t is the exception,
not the rule, that Shakespeare de-
picts as in second childhood and
mere oblivion" That is decay.
But the ripe old age, which is the
rule, gray locked, serene, mind ma
tured, heart mellowed by experience,
spirit sound and seasoned, it Jour-
neys on from day to day to that
horizon where the dusk is waiting for
the night. "At last, sitting by the
holy hearth of home, as evenings
embers change from red to gray. he
falls asleep within the arms OF her
he worshipped and adored, feeling
upon his pallid lips loves last and
holiest kiss"
We resign "the mere oblivion"
type to the Oregonian. It suits us
not. 1t is over-ripe, unwholesome
and decayed.

Brilliant, beautiful and altogether
delightful was the hop, Thursday eve

in town. 1t was the first of a series
of three assemblies given by Augusta
citizens to Capitol folks.
The Augusta House mana cement
had removed all the tables from both
its large DINING rooms and in these
the dance was held. The floor was in
splendid shape, smooth as a mirror
and by the use of the second room
there was plenty of room for the 400
or 800 dancers.
The assemblies Sre open to all mem
beers of the Legislature and guests of
the hotel and many of these had with
their ladies donned evening array and
joined in making the first of the series

and graceful dancing were Senator A.
A Burleigh of Aroostook and Repre-
sentative Harry b. Austin of Phillips.

fllt1 that lie Was tilJDN ing liiG l1tll 1 ,
as much as if he was yet a boy-as he
is in health and heart-and Repre-
sentative Austin seemed to be enjoy
ing the ball as much, as when lad
of 100 pounds he enjoyed the dances
at Brunswick and Bath.
Dennis Orchestra of six pieces in
addition to piano rendered excellent
music, many of the waltzes eliciting
an enthusiastic recall.
Nearing II O'Clock. the dancing be-
gan. At $40, the hotel management
served sandwiches, ices and coffee.
The spectacle was certainly of
great beauty with all the men in eve
ming dress and all the ladies wearing
their prettiest frocks and gowns.
Very, many beautiful gowns were
noticeable for their costliness, taste
and style. There were many with
over skirts in pGnier effects and the
lights on satins and silks were of ev-
cry hue. Exquisite laces and jewels
were worn by many of the ladies and
Augustus matrons and maidens con-
trasted we'll with the handsome ladies
from out of town
There were some bridal gowns on
charming women and many, said to be
imported, will be seen, next week, at
the Governors ball.
The party came TO an end in the
early hours of Friday morning. and
was voted Il grand success.
