CLUB WOMEN ENDORSE
NORMAL SCHOOL BILL

The members of the Federated Wom-
ems clubs of Oregon at their annual
convention in Eugene last week en-
dorsed the bill for the reopening of the
State Normal at Ashland Mrs. Eliza.
beth E. Pettinger, chairman of the ed
ucational committee of the federation
has issued the following letter:
"a resolution was introduced at our
state convention held at Hood River
last year, endorsing the effort to re-
open the Normal school at Ashland.
Feeling that this was matter of i'm
portance, it was referred to the educa-
tional committee for thorough investi-
cation and report. Such investigation
was made with the result that our
committee reported to the convention
just held at Eugene, earnestly urging
a support of this measure in the belief
that its success would contribute ma
terially to helping an urgent educa-
ional need of the state.
"The convention adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved: that the Oregon FEEDER
alton of Women's clubs not only en-
dorse the measure providing for the re-
opening Of the Southern Oregon State
Normal school, but pledge ourselves to
work for the same in our respective
communities.
1--WE are taking this means of in
forming you of the action of the Fed
GRAFTON and requesting you in fulfil
ment of that promise, to aid in further
ing this measure. in the hope that our
work may contribute to the educational
uplift of the state"

A HOOD RIVER BAD HABIT

Hood River citizens have one very
bad habit. Nobody in-particular is to
blame. II is just custom that we
have allowed to grow until now IL
seems TO prevail universally in the
Hood River valley. Who ever saw
Hood River meeting called on sched.
ule timer Somebody will be sure to
pipe up just here and give US excep-
tions. To be sure there are some ex-
ceptions. 1t takes exceptions to prove
a rule. But by far the most of Hood
River public meetings are called just
about an hour behind time. 1t is usu-
ally an unfailing rule that Commercial
club meetings are late. The members
will play just few more games of bill.
lizards. And ii is a rare occasion when
the city council convenes on the dot.

HOOD RIVER APPLE DAY

The grocery stores in Hood River
should make everyday apple day. No
matter how apples are purchased in
other parts of the country, the Hood
River folks who do not produce apples,
ought t. buy them by the box by all
means. In former years the quality of
fruit handled by the local grocery
stores has oftentimes been poor. But
this season the grocers are handling
lines of the best box fruit. No recent
displays have been prettier than the
beautiful apples the local grocers have
been showing, Hood River people
should eat lots of apples and be very
healthy.

EASTERN MAN FEARS
FREAKISH LAWS

"How Is IL possible for the Oregon
voter 10 digest all Of the mass of legis-
lation that is TO be on your ballot here.
so that he can vote intelligently when
the election comes" remarked an east
ern tourist who is making q leisurely
trip along the Pacific coast and who
has been stopping in Portland for the
past week. 81 believe in your initiative
and referendum in this state, but they
are being over worked and the result
will be, imagine, that they will break
down of their own weight.
lone thing that strikes me as a
weakness in the initiative law Of Ore
gon, is the fact that any dreamer, any
freak, or any man with a grievance
can proceed TO put his peculiar ideas on
the ballot in the shape Of bill for the
people to vote on. This is absolutely
wrong and il is unfair to the voter TO
be compelled to differentiate between
such mass Of proposed legislation.
There are measures on the ballot to
be voted on next month, that ! think
will be utterly destructive of the pro-
pserity and progress of the state. For
instance, there is the Constitutional
Amendment, affecting tide lands and
river foreshore, numbered. ! believe,
1923, and a companion bill number 800.
If these laws are passed, in my judg-
ment, there will be no more factory
building in Oregon Of those plants that
find it necessary to have access to the
water front. Washington state will be
an immense gamer if the people of Or
egon pass these two measures. Pros
pective builders Of saw mills and all
kinds of factories that want to get on
the water front will simply go over
to Washington and build up their in
dustries.
"Then there is the 81, 500 tax exmp-
tion amendment. That's a freakish
law and will keep people out of Ore
gon. And the eight hour law and the
law giving work to the unemployed,
and whole host of propositions that
seems to me a sane people would never
consider.
81 had it in mind that some day
wanted to come back to Oregon and
live, but | would hesitate to bring my
little fortune into state where the
people abuse such good thing as di-
rect legislation by loading the ballot
with all sorts of cranky, foolish meas
ures."

Forest Notes

Wireless telegraphy is being used in
Canada in reporting on forest fires.
The best excelsior is made from bass
wood, or linden. Aspen and cotton.
wood, however, supply nearly half of
the total amount manufactured.
The King of England has given per.
mission to have a part of the royal es-
tate placed at the disposal of the school
of forestry at Cambridge University
for purposes of experiment and demon
straton.
William Penn, in his Charter of
Rights, provided that for every five
acres of forest cleared one acre should
be left in woods. Foresters today
maintain that on an average one.fifth
of every farm should be in tibmer.
Recent experiments indicate that
round timbers of all the pines, of En-
glemannsspruce. Douglas fir, tamarack
and western larch, can be readily
treated with preservatives, but that
the frs, hemlocks, redwood and Sta
spruce, in the round, do not take treat
ment easily. This information should
be Of value to persons who contemplate
preservative treatment Of round posts,
poles or mine props.

THRIFT

Lessons in thrift taught to the child
will bear fruit in the conduct of the
grown up man or woman, A sense of
thrift is the greatest need today of the
American people. II is needed all the
way from the millionaire down to the
day laborer. 1t is needed among those
who occupy the seats in legislative
halls, those of Congress and those of
individual states.
Americans have lived for the most
part IN the midst of plenty, and that
plenty has resulted in a disposition to
be prodigal, prodigaIity leads to a
condition of carelessness and thence to
indifference.
A society has been organized for the
purpose of imbuing Americans with
thrift. 1t is called the American So
ciety of Thrift. One of the leaders
and members of this society. Mrs.
Celia Park Wooley. has recently writ
ten the following on the morals of
thrift:
Every act of waste involves loss in
human faculty no less that in actual
substance and san impairment of those
social ideals which we are all struggling
to realize. The habit of waste carries
along with il results that are not
merely economic but ethical.
Waste is not only foolish and sinful.
1t is unbecoming and bad form. The
spendthrift, scattering his unearned
wealth on all sides, idle, boastful, self
indulgent. Is greater menace to soci-
ETY. than the pauper or the rogue.
The spendthrift offers one example
of the misuse of money, the miser an.

LONGEVITY in OREGON
is POINTED OUT
BY Rev. G. W. Kennedy.


Oregon has the highest health record
of any state in the Union. Extreme
old age is not infrequent. Many have
lived beyond one hundred years. This
is attributable to several causes. Gil
matte conditions are favorable. Also,
the pioneers were the most hardy and
strongly developed people, physically.
intellectually and religiously to be
found in the world. They were the
builders of Kentucky. Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri; then crossed the Rockies
to the Oregon country.
Grandma" Wood Mrs. Mary Ram
sey Lemons Wood-was one hundred
and twenty (l20) years old, when she
died at her home in Hillsboro, Oregon,
several years ago. For years she had
been called the "Queen of Oregon.
Born in Tennessee in 1857, emigrated
to this wild territory in 1862. She rode
horseback all the way across the
plains. Built the first hotel in Hills
boro, and died there in 1907 vigorous in
spirit to the day of her death-a stall
wart Christian heroine.
Oregon is rich in the possession of
the name and life work of Captain
James Blakeley. A "centenarian",
lived beyond one hundred years and
died at his home in Brownsville in the
year 1912. He was born during the
second war with England and the spirit
of patriotism seemed his inheritance.
Came to Oregon in 1886. On his land
claim grew up the town of Browns
vile. In 1855 the Indian war came on,
and Blakeley organized a company of
volunteer soldiers and did valorous SER
vice in southern Oregon. On the oc.
casion of his Tooth birthday he saw his
family come together in his home. They
numbered "a; reaching to the fifth
generation. A life of remarkable
achievements; few made such a his

A Canadian gentleman by the name
of De Lore, later a citizen of this coun-
try. came here about 1880. On the
occasion of the Lewis and Clarke fair
he was l0S years old.
There is gentleman, mountaineer

where in Josephine county who was l0l
years old in 1906.

The poet Joaquin Miller's mother

1--WE do the dirty work.
Ten Twen'and thirty work,
We create the hero by
The dirty work we do. !"

Thus sings George M. Cohan in his
Villains Song" and he sings truly.
No play is play unless il has a good
villain. Without the villain there would
be no hero, no heroine-in fact no play
at all. The scoundrel is the backbone
of the plot. He carries the story of
the play on his wicked shoulders, and
when he is killed, or sent to jail or
eliminated in some other more or less
drastic fashion by the hero, the play
usually ends.
Now Captain Hodgman in "Arizona, I"
the famous play which the Moose will
present here by local talent, is a regu-
lar villain. He is about as mean cuss
as ever made weeping heroine sign
the papers or drink the ink. That
doesn't mean that he is melodramatic.
He is perfectly natural and logical
villain. He can't hell being a scoun-
drel any more than the hero can help
being hero. He was born that way
just naturally, downright mean-and
that is all there is to it; and the Incl
dents of the play simply serve to show
off his innate cussedness to the best
advantage. The man who will make
his debut as Captain Hodgman in Ari-
zona is new resident of Marshfield,
but already he has become one of the
most popular young men of the town,
in spite of the role he will assume in
the play. He is James E. Montgomery,
late of Hosd River, later still of Green
field. Indiana; journalist. promoter,
soldier of fortune and actor. The last
named profession is not to be over
looked. for James declares that once
while he was on the staff of the Indian
apolis News he played in professional
company for one night. appearing as
the entire Roman army in Ben Greet's
open air production of Julius Caesar.
Whether this unique experience was
of any advantage to him or not we do
not know, but the fact reamins Mr..
Montgomery can act. He makes a
most excellent scoundrel. and his por-
trayal of Hodgman is effective, logical
ana convincing. He has been living
and breathing in an atmosphere of vii
lainy ever since rehearsals began two
weeks ago, and he is going to give his
friends a rare treat when he plunges
into the dirty work" that Augustus
Thomas has marked out for him.
