MomentOus Question Worries Oak
Run,

Redding Searchlight Does a rat
tlesnake lay eggs and hatch out its
young chicken fashion, or does it
give birth to its young pig fashion?
This question is a subject of warm
debate in the vicinity of Oak Run,
farming community beyond Mill
vile. Al Cook, a truthful farmer,
killed a rattlesnake the other day.
He dissected the reptile and was
astounded to find on the inside six
teen baby rattlers varying in length
from four to eight inches. The six
teen little snakes were the wonder OF
all beholders. Even this sight does
not settle the question on Oak Run
for those sticking to the Matching
theory assert that the mother snake
frightened at the coming of Cook
swallowed the whole lot to prevent
them falling into the hands of the
enemy.

AT THE HORSE RACES.

A good deal of newspaper space is
taken about now with the report of
summaries of the horse races. From
one fair ground to another resound
the hoarse cries of the starter. The
crowd watches the speeding figures
with breathless interest.
Horse racing was probably at one
time more entitled to be considered
the national game than baseball. 1t
will always interest those who like
competition in skill and power. A
swiftly moving horse has beauty OF
stride and motion all its own. And
the human element, the ability to
direct and utilize the power of the
horse to highest advantage, is an in
teresting problem in efficiency.
Horse racing has suffered from the
feeling that there are too many
crooks in the business. Also the
prominence of betting has created the
impression that many contests are not
on the level. Race managers who
wish to attract public interest must
punish every suspicion of dirty work.
And the more they subordinate the
money motive, the more they make it
a competitor in pure sport and skill,
the better crowds they will draw.

Medford Sun: Practical jokers
Friday night took Fords belonging
to C. E. Gates and Carl Tengwald,
while they were attending the Elks
lodge, and hid them while the own
ers appealed to the police, and
searched the city for their autos. A
lodge brother tipped Colonel Teng-
wald to the real facts, but Mr.. Gates
was still hunting for his machine at
2 o'clock this morning. The jokers
hid it in his own garage, where he
will find it this morning. This is
the second time in the last month
he has "fell' for a joke. The first
time he fired eighteen shots at a
stuffed deer he thought was a regu-
lar one.

NEIGHBORLY ADVICE
Freely Given By An Ashland Citize

Freely Given BY An Ashland Citizen.
When one has suffered tortures
from a bad back and found relief
from the aches and pains, that per-
sons advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The follow
ing neighborly advice comes from an
Ashlnad resident:
Allen Davis, 1877 First street, Ash
land, says: Some time ago had a
bad attack of kidney and bladder
trouble. 1t came on so suddenly that
| thought / was done for. My back
ached and when l tried to pass the
kidney secretions / had such terrible
pains l could hardly stand them. l
finally began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and they proved a Godsend to
me. They corrected the trouble and
restored me to my usual good
health"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Davis had. Foster Milburn Co.,

istic ambitions. In the childhood OF
the race music led men to battle. In
the childhood of the individual 1t
arouses the same impetuous desires,
the same loyalty and daring. Not
all children are always profoundly
impressed with music We speak of
the average child in his receptive
moments. Watch his face as he sits
quietly with his eyes riveted upon
the players. What do you see there?
Desire, for one thing-desire to emu
late, desire for self-eXpression, desire
to accomplish. Inspiration draws the
lines upon his mobile countenance
into a halo of delicate imagery and
in his eyes you detect the feeling
of the hero worshiper which has led
men to follow their comrades
through storms of life since the
WOrlu DeSdn,
SO let your child hear the band;
let him hear it at his fathers or his
mothers knee with the occasional
pressure of a sympathetic hand clasp.
When the strains of the Star Span
gled Banner make his little heart
thump like a trip hammer, stand
with your boy, or girl, and doff your
hat to the honor of the nation. Do
not look to see if your neighbor does
the same, but be to your child an
independent hero. Confirm in his
plastic mind the noble impressions
and aspirations of his innocent and
hungry soul.

CHILDREN AT BAND CONCERTS.

What more inspiring, and some
times affecting, sight, than the one
afforded by the Illuminating face of
a child as he listens in rapt attention
to the music of band! Do you
not remember that when you were
young band music stirred your soul
as nothing else ever did? It appeals
at once to the child's sense of beau
ty, form and expression. To him 1t
means action in response to his best
impulses. It fills him with a desire
to do and to dare. He is ready to
challenge the world for a combat, If
necessary, in support of all his ideal

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Sept. %, '1G
TEACH THE ALPHABET.

The old-fashioned requirement
that every child should learn the al
phabet has gone out of style. AS a
result many of the high school pupils
of today have considerable difficulty
in using an alphabetical index of any
sort without undue mental effort
and consequent unnecessary loss of
energy and waste of time.
This statement is not the result of
fancy cf the editor but is the out
growth from an incidental remark
recently made by very competent
city librarian who said: "The things
that happen here are positively ridic-
ulous when some of the high school
students come in and try to use the
indices. 1t has been a source of great
wonderment to me how child could
reach high school age without know
ing any more about the alphabet
than some of them do. And then
another thing. a telegraph operator
told me that when high school boy
came in his office to learn telegraphy
the first thing he had to do was to
make the boy sit down and learn his
A B C's. l had an apprentice in the
library who first had to learn the
position of the letters in the alphabet
before she could do her work. And
when it comes to the use of the die
tionary they have to know their let
ters in proper order"
From the foregoing we conclude
that modern efficiency has suffered
somewhat through the omission of
one essential, at least, in framing up
course for the child between the
ages of six and ten. During these
years, learning by rotation and COM
mitting to memory is accomplished
with the least effort and, when
learned. stays with the child as a
part of his mental habit throughout
his career. Therefore the learning
of the alphabet, the multiplication
table and correct spelling should be
accomplished in the early period of a
child's schooling. After all, the old
fashioned notion that "readin, writ
in and rithmetic' constitute the es-
sentials of education was not as far
out of the way as is sometimes sup
posed in modern pedagogical circles.
Every boy and girl nowadays, even
more than in the past, should know
the alphabet both forward and back
ward so well that the use of an index
comes as easily as any instructive
action. There are probably but few
young persons who do not encounter
an index in some from from the time
they are eight or nine years old, at
WHICH age IHty SHOulu uSSoLhS piOii-
cient in the use of the dictionary. A
little later a card index in school,
in a library or in an office must be
mastered if the child is to become
efficient. The world of business, and
even of pleasure and recreation, is
pretty well card indeXed these days.
Therefore see to it that your child
learns the alphabet If he can not
do it in school, teach it to him in the
home. Insist upon it, drill him at
it. and in later years he will thank
you for it if he realizes that his COM
potency in comparison with anoth-
er's, not so trained, is due to a
parents thoughtfulness.
