Heartaches Probable

Once again the legislature is
ION the grind" IL was vainly
hoped that this would be an
economical legislature. from
start to finish. About the first
thing il did was TO waste three
days figuring how to dispose of
superiluous clerks and II ter
minated in every man getting "A
pretty stenographer." if he
had the wisdom TO select a
pretty one. Thus the state is
to the bad $1,000 or $l5, 900.
The stenographers, most of them,
draw as much or more salary,
than the legislators themselves.
But some of these gentlemen
are probably bachelors and it is
about the only chance they have
TO associate with likely young
women. IL does look a little
unfair, however, that the state
shall have to discriminate by
paying the courtship expenses
of only a favored portion of its
citizens.
Had the stenography work
been let by contract. or had
twenty-five competent steno-
graphers under the direction of
the head clerk been assigned TO
the job the work would have
been done as well, the state
would have saved substantially.
the session would probably have
been several days shorter. and
there would have been saved a
few heartaches at home. Mt.

the taxpayers. To relieve Mr..
Anderson's misapprehension. |
might further state that the tax
payers are never consulted be-
fore city funds are expended
except in case of bond isuse.
Certainly not for street work.
AS to the amount of money the
Port of Portland will contribute
toward the roadway in question.
the sum has not been definitely
decided upon. but Mr.. Anderson
can rest assured that it will at
least be enough to pay the in
terest for some time to come.
Mr.. Anderson's boast that
his is not nor does he intend to
become a member of the Com
mercial Club is a laudable one.
The club has no use for knock
ers. II is an organization form
ed for the purpose of developing
the city. and Mr.. Anderson
would assuredly feel out of place
there. The club was heartily
in favor of the city building the
roadway.
"A frog once spit on a block
of ice and said it will make a
fine fire when it lights. The
frog in question is Mr.. Munson's
Western Cooperage plant" says
Mr.. Anderson. but he might
aptly have added that the 'spit"
represented Mr.. Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson need throw no
bouquets at himself as being
the cause of the Cation tract not
being so far purchased. The
matter of purchase was in
definitely postponed not on ac-
count of MIR. Anderson's "at- !
tack" but in spite of il.
Now. if Mr.. Anderson wants
to continue to knock the plant |
of the Western Cooperage COM
pany. which l believe will be |
the greatest industrial and labor
employing institution that has
yet located in st. Johns, there
seems to be nothing to do but to
let him "spit." Yet he should
be consistent enough not to
prate about the brotherhood of
nan at the same time. True
brotherhood of man teaches pro-
'iding of employment for man
Kind. Mr.. Anderson apparently
wants TO deny to man the oppor-
unity TO work, hence his animos-
ty toward the Western Cooper
Ige plant. C, w. Munson.

Censorship

Neighbors. friends, are you
aware
That you shouldn't KNOW at
all:
You're wicked and degenerate
And always prone to fall?
You don't know what TO look at.
And much less, what to read;
You're prone to wander in dan
gerous ways,
So look straight up; take heed.
You shouldn't strive to know
the truth,
For therein great dangers lie;
If you'd be content, believe
things.
Keep your pious gaze on High!
Why be concerned bout stellar
things.
Nebulae. planets and such?
No need TO know of the vestal
world.
In fact you shouldn't know
much.
Why wish to know truths of
creation,
Mans relation to primitive
life.
Or question beliefs of long
standing;
If you do. you'll surely bring
strife.
Don't question the right of au-
thority;
Quit thinking, keep smiling.
be good;
The chosen few should regulate
Who wear ermine. or mitre,
or hood.
'Tis almost a crime to reason.
And more than a crime to
rebel
Against laws you're forced to
comply with,
On earth or in heaven or hell.
What matter tho you're not con-
suited
Bout ordinances and phony
laws,
When the ruling class censor an
action.
The right thing to do. friend. !
is pause.
So be quite content, my neigh
Dor.
You're not to use your brain;
That's to tell you when you're
hungry,
And to get in out of the rain.
If you wish to be moral and
happy.
Don't think for yourself one
wee bit:
Just leave it to the Censor
Board
The ones who are morally fit.
My advice is, stay at home eve-
nings.
And do not wander about,
For the Censor Board will get
you,
If you don't watch out.

Representative d. G.. Lewis
has called attention to the fact
that it is the usual thing in
emergency clauses to have the
words "for the immediate pro-
lection of the peace, health and
safety" attached thereto, and
intimates that owing to it be-
ing the usual thing in emergency
causes. it is not as bad as it
would appear to the uninitiated.
In support of his assertion Mr..
Lewis forwarded copy of
House Bill No. 4S4, ceding ex-
elusive jurisdiction over Crater
Lake National Parh to the
United States, showing that the
emergency clause therein con-
tanned the words quoted above.
Therefore, il is to be assumed
that the words really do not
mean what they say; that
neither the peace, health or
safety is menaced; hat il is
only a matter of form and jum-
BILE of words. That being the
case. Mr.. Lewis must be held
blameless for using them in the
emergency clause in the merger
bill. The speed in which he in-
troduced and secured the pass
age of the bill is only a com
pliment to his eneryg and re.
sourcefulness.

have taken every scrap Of effect and
charm from a dress which had been
chosen for its style alone.
Many women owe their reputation
for beauty to being harmoniously
dressed-for choosing the right color
scheme and having the courage to
stick to 1t. But, of course, this is not
by any means an easy thing to do, par
ticularly in these days of ready
mades," when in order to be faithful
to ones belief in color-care it is often
necessary to pass by an unusually at
tractive hat or blouse simply because
its hue IL apt to accentuate the wear
er's paleness when fatigued, or, in an
other case, to detract from the bright
ness Of her eyes.
But the limitations imposed upon a
woman by this care and discrimina-
ton in dress are compensated for by
the fact that however simply or eco
nomically attired she is always at her
best.

SCHOOL GARDENS AT CAPITAL
Washlneton's Plans Have Been Fully
Perfected, and Good Results Are
Confidently Anticipated.

The first home garden club to be
organized in the public schools of
Washington was formed a short time
ago.
The object of the club is to stimu-
late interest in vegetable and flower
gardens in the homes as well as on
the school grounds. Several gardens
have been made on school grounds by
the students under the direction OF
teachers. 1t is the plan of the teach
ers at the Brookland school and
parents of children attending school,
to arrange a course of lectures for be-
ginners in gardening and to visit the
gardens of the children in their homes
regularly in order to see that the work
is carried out according to the in
structions of the teachers. A garden
show will be given next fall. 1t will
consist of exhibitions of products
from the gardens. In addition, a com
mittee will report en- the gardens in
the homes and prizes will be awarded
for the work done.

TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEG
Dipping Feet and Legs Of Fowls Az
feeted in Kerosene Will Prove
Quite Effective.

Look out for the scaly leg in your
stock at this time. After passing
through the cold and dampness of the
winter months this trouble is quite
likely to develop among at least few
Of your fowls, and it should be nipped
right in the bud or it will run through
all your stock. While it is nothing
serious or rapid in its work, it is a
very annoying trouble and one that
will make your fowls very uncomfort-
able, and at times it will even cripple
some where 1t gets to be a thick
scale.
The best treatment is to take a can
of kerosene oil, nail 1t to the wall Of
your poultry house, where 1t will be
convenient to dip the feet and legs
of each fowl affected in up just to, but
not on to, the feathers of the hook
joint. This, says Southern Ruralist,
repeated every other day for about
two weeks will clean it all of except
In extreme cases, when it will take
longer treatment, to be followed with
a little oil or vaseline occasionally
to smooth up the surface.

TOWN PLANNING AN OLD ART
Anelents Well Understood the Value
Of Making Their Cities as Beau
tlful as Possible.

Town planning is not a modern art,
The ancients appreciated the value Of
a civic center; the Roman forum and
acropolis at Athens are examples Of
this. Coming down to medieval times,
we have the Piazza della Signoria at
Florence and the Piazza of st. Marks
at Venice. public squares beautifed
at the public expense, from which
many a mighty dictum for veal or
woe went forth. Paris owes a great
debt of gratitude to Baron Hauss-
mann, whose ingenious city planning
has produced one Of the finest cities
in the world. The French capital has
probably more expatriated Americans
in residence than any other European
city, for a beautiful city will always
attract people. Although the French
respond quickly to an authentic ap'
peal, their native thrift is never lost
sight of. They know that beautiful
city is sure to bring commercial pros
perity and they have learned we'll the
art of making beauty the handmade Of
utility. Let us then follow the ex.
ample set us and begin to teach our
young people that there is no antag.
onism between beauty and utility and
that civic pride is only local patriot
ism. With a city plan developed un.
der competent leadership and town
planning board invested with proper
authority, the hasty building of the
present moment will be obviated, and
a city will be developed that future
generations can pronounce a thing OF
beauty and a joy forever.

KEEP UP GRADE OF POULTRY
Poultrymen Make Mistake In Buying
Hatehing Eggs or Breeding Stock
From Different Breeders.

Many a poultryman, striving to
breed up strain of egg-producing
hens. makes the mistake of buying
Matching eggs or breeding stock from
a different breeder each year. 1t pays
far better to go back, for a number
of years, to breeder who has stock
that mates well with and improves the
size and reproducing qualities of the
progressive poultryman's stock.
So reports James G. Halpin, head
of the poultry department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who has found
that the number of reliable poultry
breeders producing just the sort Of
breeding stock generally needed is
rapidly increasing. He believes that
the pext few years will be a still
greater increase along this line for
the breeder can afford to line breed
his stock and take a great deal of
pains building up a strain of high
egg producers. The grading up of the
farm flock with good, strong males OF
the right sort of breeding, is one OF
the principal things needed In the
poultry industry at this time.

Liking for the Early Victorian Styles
