HuMANISM.
Bv George Matthew Adams. |

By George Matthew AualllS.' lsns are a part of the progress of the race. Here's the best of all. HumaniSm. Humanism, We will say, is the art of just being Human.
 Get back to being Human. To be Human is to be lour- |'srlf, through and through. And anybody that tries to be Human usually tries lot of things that turn out to be, in the eyes of oth- CTS who never think of being Hu- man, very silly and very blunder- ing. But that is the delight of it all. The big, strong people are those who are unusually Human.
 Get back to being Human.
 The Man of Affairs that can Sde the feeling side of the fel- low who puts his coat on: the Woman of Wealth and Society who is able to be Human i'll the presence of her kitchen eirl-they are following out the teaching of IIumanism.
 Get back to being Human.
 Evil Prosperity makes the Sn"b. Adversity and Catastrophe make the Human.
 Get back to being Human.
 There are fewer Human beings in Business than there should be-. Because men forget that their helpers are not machines, but Brain and Heart and Blood and Bone-and Feeling. If every man who reads this little talk would enter his office today determined to act like a Human being, think what Happiness would be added to this day. For to be Human is to be Kind, Considerate, Gener- |ous, Forgiving, Helpful, Inspir- ing, as well as to make Mistakes and Err.
 Get back to being Human.
 The most Human thing possi- blc is to do your Best. And if you happen to do your worst just forget it. and start all over again. That's being VERY l1u- man. And when you DO win big and glory in Success-WlthOut .fail-remember to help the near est fellow to you toward winning. That's being mighty Human, too.
 Get back to being Human.

HATEFUL POLITICIANS.

The successful 'prddler' is usually the most successful poli- tician. Look backward at all the men you have seen elected by the popular vote and you will usually find them to be easily first in the gentle act of rubbing on soft soap. If candidate has all the virtues of Bayard and he hath not the faculty of exposing them to view all would avail him noth- ing. He would walk down this vale of tears unnoticed, unhonor- ed and unSung.
 The next best qualification for political success is an unmitigat- ed gall. To have virtues and to tell people about them requires gall, while to publish virtues which you do not possess requires a limitleSS measure of the same quality.
 There are countless good men whose names never appear in public because they have the crOWning quality of kneeling be- hind the pillar while the snug faced Pharisee stands prating on the platform.
 There are various methods by which the politician of the pres ent day practices his various arts. One throws out hint about "tak- ing care of you;' another breath cs his undying love for the ma tionality which has the honor to claim you; another in sweet, offhand manner, tells story which goes to show. just acci- dentally, you know. that he once attended the same church. and another tells a story about the cute remark made by your John nie.
 Behind your back he tells his real cn-conSpirator that he thinks '.hr has that felIow.'
 The art is gradually becoming mora refined, however. A1 one time, not long after the ''prole- tariat' had been given the fran chise, the candidate walked into the cottage and patted Mikey on the head while he rXpatiatcd on the beautifully intellectual lines of Mikey's phySiOgnOmy. MikrN' $ dad at last began to get wise and now the candidate has to adopt more subtle methods. He meets Mikey's father feeding his face on a gravel pilr-that is, while he Is sitting on a gravel pile-and he asks him for a match just in the most casual way possible. Quiet ly the ensuing conversation Neers around to. politics and Mikey' $ father bites.-NOme Nugget.

MEETING OF TALENT COMMERCIAL CLUB TUESDAY EVENING WAS
WELL ATTENDED AND PROVED TO Be VERY PROFITABLE

homes OF many American farmers
who are well to do.
300 Cows Needed for Creamery.
Referring to the matter of organ
izing a cooperative creamery at Tai
ent. he said that the first imperative
necessity was sufficient number of
cows. There must be at least 800
cows, the product of which was
pledged to the creamery. Another
warning which he gave was to be-
ware of the creamery building shark.
who would induce the community to
invest in a $4,000 plant. Not to
exceed $4,000, including the. refrig-
Grating plant, should be expended
and not over $4,000 without such
plant. He also urged the necessity
of securing a first-Class butter maker
of the S125 per month grade. Cheap
butter makers mean poor butter, and
that a creamery cannot afford to put
out. He advised as the first step to-
ward the building of creamery, the
appointment of committee to secure
, agreements from farmers to put in
the necessary COWS.
The COWS, he considered, are much
more necessary to the country than
are additional creameries. Freight
and express rates upon cream are so
low that much cream is shipped
every day from California right
through the valley to Portland If
you get the COWS the revenue is sure.
whether the cream is manufactured
here or elsewhere, but get the cows.
Best Breeds of Cows.
When asked as to the best breeds
of dairy cows, he stated that there
were only four which had any claim
to that appellation. They are the
Jerseys, the Holsteins the Guernseys
and the Ayrshires. Each of these
has its own particular advantages
and disadvantages, and which one is
best adapted to a community de-
pends entirely upon the conditions
and uses.
The Jerseys he believed by far the
best adapted to the Rogue River Val
ley, because of the high price of lant
and consequent high price of forage
and other feed
The Ayrshires were best adapted
to raising in the hills and on th'
mountains as they are a hardy race
Of Scotch cattle
For selling milk and cream to {
high-grade trade the Guernsey cattle
are not to be excelled, because of the
fact that the milk is of high grade
and attractive appearance.
The Holsteins are, ,he declared
