his song was one Of the sweetest OF

fact, he had looked on old Mr.. Toad

that most or his neighbors looked
on Old Mr.. Toad In the same way.
They were fond OF him. for he was

liked TO poke fun at him. and as for
there being anything beautiful about

SERVICE TO SUPPLY
FARMERS WITH HELP

Not only in Oregon, but in all parts
of the country, the government has
inaugurated a movement to secure
work for the unemployed and to fur
nish men or women to farmers and
other employers outside the cities. 1t
is common sight to see men stand
ing around the streets in town at all
seasons of the year who would be
glad to go out into the country and
go to work if they only knew just
where to go and could be certain that
the job would be there when they
arrive. John H. Barbour, United
States inspector, Oregon immigration
Service, has started to list applicants
for positions of all kinds and is
anxious to receive applications for
help from employers of labor of all
classes.
Every applicant for work will be
given a thorough examination as to
his qualifications, and no man will
be sent out for any specific line of
work unless he is fitted for it, thus
leaving no room for the annual COM
plant that farmers are supplied with
laborers who know nothing of farm
work, at a time when the farmer is
too busy to teach them. The first
day the office was open more than
100 applications for work were re-
ceived, and as there are no fees or
other expenses connected with the
service, it is expected that enough
men will be available at any time to
fill all possible demands.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
ScarenOnger.

Don't be a scaremonger. A scare
monger is one who clutches enthusi-
astically at every ill wind and pushes
it along while passing over optimistic
reports with sneer or encouraging
them with positive malignity.
Those who revel in bad reports, al
ways giving them the greatest cred
ence, while resolving every favorable
one with suspicion, stand defiantly
in the way of progress.
The town in which an adverse re-
port may be started and spread
throughout the whole community in
a few hours-casting gloom and sus-
picion broadcast, while matters fa-
vorable are little and hesitatingly cir
culated, will have hard time get
ting ahead. 1t takes optimism to go
forward. The pessimist is always
waiting for some expected hindrance
to appear-which seldom does-and
loses the force of prompt action
counting the lethargy of doubt, until
frequently the psychological hour for
the greatest success is past. That is
why pessimism seldom wins.
The optimist turns deaf ear to
tales of woe and encouragement, and
does the thing because it should be
done, letting results take care of
themselves. He loses no time in dole
ful doubt, and wastes no energy push
ing along mournful sentences. He
remembers that Thomas, doubling
the Identification of the risen
Savior, was allowed to put his hand
into the ghastly wound, to prove a
case that faith long before would
have happily asserted.
Don't be a scaremonger. Be a
worker and an optimist. Have faith
in your fellowman, in the future OF
your city. And do not lose mo-
ment of time waiting for untoward
things to happen-for ninety-nine
per cent of them are imaginary and
never occur-the hour to strike and
work is here and now. The task is
great, but great work and enthusi.
asm will produce a great accomplish
ment.

MAKE THIS THE PLAYGROUND.

There is more natural beauty with
in an eye span of the new Ashland
scenic drive than in all of southern
California. Then why has that sec
tion greater reputation than this as
the beauty spot of the earth? The
answer is, simply and solely, proper
utilization and publicity. Our seen
cry, our climate-twelve-m
the-year is best. Then why is not
the Rogue River Valley 'The Play
ground of the World? Answer:
Exploitation along other, less profit
able and attractive lines. Nature in
tended this valley to be the "play-
ground of the northwest" 1t is not
so only because men have not made
it that. Let us now pay attention to
our scenic attractions and exploit
them for all they are worth and the
Identification and solid development
will be rapid and permanent. The
development of the Ashland mineral
springs lays a firm foundation for
exploitation along these lines. Let
us embrace the opportunity with a
will.

The most effective method of COM
munity advertising is the cultivation
of home spirit. Some towns are full
of people who always disparage their
home place. They think that shows
them persons of fine discrimination.
The first step in town promotion
should be the conversion of the dis
parager into town booster, or induc-
ing him to move on. In town where
every citizen takes special care to
speak well of his community, COM

THE 1916 CAMPAIGN.

No claim whatever to prophetic
spirit, but here goes a prediction:
In the national campaign of 1915 the
republicans and progressives viii
unite on common ground-a plat
form truly representing progressive
republican principles-not dominated
by reactionaries or ultra reformers,
but men bound to cut out the cancer
without killing the patient-under
that banner, with a candidate IN
sympathy with that platform-the re-
publican party, new born, will sweep
into power by a greater popular vote
than has been before recorded in
American politics. OF course Pro-
fessor Wilson will again don his col
lege uniform and betassled cap and
teach his economic theories where
they will do less immediate harm,
and proper big and little business
will go again on their way rejoicing.
The American people have had quite
enough fine-spun economic theory at
the expense of corn pone and SOW
belly. The political pendulum has
reached equilibrium.
Professor Wilson is a fine Chris
tian gentleman, good B. A. and
B. l.. and a crack B. c., but as an
NJ. D. his economic dope has nearly
killed dad. American business needs
less psychology and economic lauda
mum and more ginger, confidence ant
credit.

Some minds move with extreme
illogic. For example, everything
goes we'll between two men for a
number of years. At last misunder-
standings arise, as they often do, be-
tween friends-even of closest kin
and one, being peeved for the nonce,
attempts to reverse, by vicious and
untrue SANDER, all the good he has
asserted of the other for so long. He
fails, of course, because his every
word now bellies his former conduct
and statements. The auditor COM
prehends at once that either he lied
at first or is lying now. Envy be-
clouds the brain and wretchedness ex-
cuses it's own inward faults, guiding
thought awry both in truth and
logic, and the befuddled imagination
dictates that others should be made
to suffer because it alone has sinned.
But, society and destiny have not de-
creed it so. Whatsoever a man SOW
eth, that shall he also reap"

Fear of failure never breeds sue
cess. Faith in yourself, in your
neighbor, in the possibilities of your
town, confidence, work, enthusiasm,
these are the index and elements of
success. Put the springs project, for
example, into the hands of those who
have no confidence in its ultimate
value to the community, and it will
amount to nothing.
