Roy Schaller Wins Case.

The case of Roy Schaller against
the Pacific Face Brick Company of
Willamina was decided in Schaller's
favor by the Supreme Court last
Tuesday. Schaller sued to recover
damages for injury to his hand and
arm, which were caught and crushed
in dry-press brick machine while
he was working for the company,
and the jury allowed him $2,50O.00
in trial before Judge Kelly in the
Circuit Court at McMinnville last
year. The company appealed but the
Supreme Court in an opinion written
by Chief Justice Mcbride, found
that the defendant had received a
fair trial and affirmed the judgment
of the lower court with costs. H. HI.
Belt and Oscar Hayter represented
Schaller in the litigation and the de-
fense was conducted by R. L. Conner
Of McMinnville and Malarkey, Sea-

PAYMENT OF TAXES
The Taxpayer Has Three Choices
Better Pay VI and Take the
Chances is the Most Popular.

The Observer had so many phone
and personal inquiries in reference to
the article published last Tuesday in
regard to paying taxes that we would
advise all to pay the one half before
April first and take chances on the
penalty. This seems to be the .:en-
eral opinion over the state as found
by the reports published in the state
papers. One half paid as before and
the other half before September 1st
This will provide enough money for
expences and also not work hard
ship on the taxpayer. The state
commission has the following three
ways and The Observer believes that
the popular way will be the one de-
cided on, that is pay one-half before
April 1st and the other before Sep
tember 1st, and take the chances.
Here is the State Commission
WOluo SlNCA tnio Wcch.
One Of Three Ways Open.
"In view of the present uncertain
ties in the situation, the final out
come Of which the commission is en-
tirely unable to forsee, the taxpayers
must exercise their own Judgment in
making tax payments. Any one of
three courses are now open to them:
~. They can pay one-half of the
taxes charged against them before
April 1st, and take the chance on the
final determination by the courts as
to whether or not the penalties speci-
fed in the law will be collected on
second half to be paid prior to Sep
tember LIST.
go. They can pay all of their
taxes prior to April 1st and remove
all chance of penalties being charged.
"3. They can defer the payment
Of all their taxes, with the certainty
of having to pay an additional per
cent for each month or part of a
month that payment is deferred after
April lst and up to September 1st''
Judge Cleeton's Explanation.
Only those persons who have paid
one-half of their taxes prior to April
l, will be relieved of the penalty of l
per cent a month after March 81.
Those persons who have not paid any
of their taxes prior to April l will
be subject to the penalty.

THE ANSWER

watches over us all and neither slum
bers nor sleeps.
None of us understand why He al
lows so many people to do wrong
but we feel that there is something In
every human breast that makes
wrong-doing misery every time.
The most important thing for you
to believe about God is that He is moi
your enemy, and He is not watching
you like detective to punish vou
but that He is your friend, that He
is loving you and serving you every
minute of your life.
Listen to your heart beating, as you
lie awake in bed. All night while
you are unconscious something is
making your heart beat thus, and
your lungs breathe, and attending to
all the functions of your body. That
is God. Nobody has ever yet found
a better name.
1t is God who rolls the stars in the
heavens, who lifts the sun up in the
morning, and guides the moon at
night; who causes the wheat and
corn, the trees and flowers to grow !;
who brings the birds back from the
south in the spring; who makes the
little lambs frolic and the kittens
play; who makes children happy and
grown people kind.
Wherever you find LIFE and
GOODNESS and GREATNESS you
may know God is there.
So, my boy, whether your folks are
Hebrew of Christian, Buddhist, or
even if they are "noth-
ing at al" I" you may rest assured
that they will not object to your be-
ieving what | have here told you;
and you may be sure also that to be-
ieve in God and to try and feel and
follow Him will do more than any
thing else in the world to make you
an honest, happy and brave man, to
make those who love you glad be-
,ause of you, and to make all the
world respect and trust you.

Yes, my boy, there is a God. You
can not see or hear Him, but | will
tell you how you can feel Him.
Did you ever lie, or cheat, or steal,
or treat smaller boy cruelty, or be
a coward when you should have been
brave? If so, you have felt hurt
inside your mind, a miserable feel
ing in your heart, as if you were sick
at your stomach, or as if you had
struck your finger with hammer.
It is God that so makes you hurt.
Have you ever wanted to do some
thing mean, or nasty, and resisted
the desire, put it away from you and
acted honestly and fair; and have you
not noticed then a good feeling, a
sense of inner pride and satisfaction
and manhood? Itfis God that gives
you this good feeling when you play
the man.
Have you ever looked up at the
sky at night and, remembering what
you have been told about the vast dis
tances of the stars and that they are
worlds like ours moving through
space as fast as. cannon balls, have
You never had a feeling of wonder,
of how great and majestic the uni
verse is, and You but tiny mite in
it all? That feeling of wonder and
awe comes from God A. very wise
man, Carlyle, said that worship is
wonder, so that when you see any
thing that makes You wonder because
of its greatness On beauty or mystery,
you are really worshipping God,
whether the object be the ocean, the
mountain or good man or woman.
1t is not the police that protect our
lives, my boy. Only few wicked
men come into conflict with the po-
licemen. But there is something that
holds every man back from cruelty
and uncleanness, that stays the muir
derer's arm and causes many wo-
man to drown herself rather than be
vile. That Something is God. He
