the youngsters, and she's too tired to
go on without a rest. Baby wants
a nap, the children want to play, and
she has no place to go. To Beebe's
rest room or Vaupel's? No. Or
maybe the Oregon? Mercy, no. They
don't want her. So she sits around
the store where she has bought a
few things, and has miserable time
while "Pa" does his shopping and
stands around talking with the men
or playing billiards, and is surprised
that Ma" is tired, the children cross
and that she didn't get all she want
ed.
What you need is a rest room for
country women, where they feel free
to go, and not in the back end of
somebody's store, but out where they
can see the people, where the chill
dren can play. 1t needs fire,
gas plate to heat your coffee or
baDy's milk, and a couch where you
can rest a while, then go out and try
it again.
What's the use of another police
man? Put the money into a police
matron. Let her attend to the rest
room, meet the trains and keep her
eye on lot of these stray girls whose
mothers are too busy attending card
parties to look out for them.
Let us hear from the country
women. Do we want a rest room, or
shall we send our money to Sears
Roebuck?

NO POLICE COURT IN MACON.

Macon, Mo-, has been dry for sew
eral months and the Kansas City
Star correspondent says that the
chief of police, when asked when he
made his last arrest, replied that
"it's too far back for me to remem-
ber."
Andrew Field is Macon's city attor-
ney. When elected two years ago his
fees ran from $65 to SIS a month.
Now he says he is doing we'll to get
IS a month. The average is about
50. when the last saloon quit bus
mess here it practically put our po-
lice court out of a job" said Mr..
Field. 81 don't think we've tried a
case there for six or eight months
maybe longer. I don't wonder the

Where" asks the girl whose let
ter is unfolded before me, "shall
make application to get into motion
pictures?" 1t is the same question
that | am being literally bombarded
with every day. And it is perpleX-
ing question. Sometimes the persist
ent recurrence of it makes me almost
heartsick.
These girls, so many of them, and
all ambitious to become motion pic
ture stars!
How | wish they all could!
But they all cant-that is the sad
part of it. Experience and observa-
tion tell me that, for every one of
them that really succeeds, a full hum
dred or more will fail.
Can you blame me, then, for being
reluctant to answer the question? If
the girl is encouraged by my replies
and breaks away from former ties to
find a new niche for herself in pic
lures, the chances are a hundred to
one that she is making a mistake.
What, then, should l tell her? |
hardly know, but have about decided
on something after this fashion:

Peoples Forum
The Rest Room.

Editor Tidings: This talk about
a ladies' rest room makes me laugh.
What do the town women or men
either know about it? They don't
feel the need of it, of course. Why
should they. The average town wom-
an with no children) never does
enough work that she needs to rest.
Why not ask the women who live out
mile or five, ten or twenty miles
from town? Ask her why she sends
to Sears-Sawbuck or Meier & Frank
for pas underwear, Johnnie's over
alls, the Christmas toys, etc? Let
me give an example of the way the
country woman has to shop in town:
"Pa" tells her day or so ahead of
time that well go to town on such
day" The day before the joyful
{? event MA" cooks up" some
thing for the hired man and to have
handy for supper when she gets back.
She looks over all the children s
clothes to see that they are in order,
and maybe has to wash and iron
bit and keep the days work going.
Three square meals, attend to the
chickens and perhaps milk and care
for the children, and hundred other
things farmers wife has to do, and
she goes to bed pretty tired, but gets
up early, gets breakfast, washes and
dresses Johnnie, Susie, Ben and the
baby, washes the dishes, attends to
the chickens and milk, puts up
lunch for the children, sets the table
for the hired man, gets herself ready
as best she can, climbs into the wag-
on or car with list OF things she
needs as long as her arm, and they
are off. Hooray! She gets to town
and with the children start out. They
want to get into everything and soon
get tired and cross. After an hour
or so she has bought a few yards of
calico, some shoes and stockings for

EUGENE V. CARTER.
(Oregon Voter.)

COregon Voter.)
Possibly in emulation of the at
tempt of the Portland Journal to
honor itself by conspicuously usher
ing Theo. B. Wilcox back into Cham
Der of Commerce activity, the Med
ford Mail Tribune has initiated a
similar movement to induce Eugene
V. Carter of Ashland to become
candidate for the state legislature
from Jackson county.
1t is a hopeful sign Of the times
when the political machines of the
Oregon System, viz, the newspapers,
are scrambling for the credit of sup
porting able and strong men for pub
lie work.
Distasteful as it must be to men
like Messrs. Carter and Wilcox to be
conducted to the imelight under the
auspices of newspapers whose charac-
ter-assassinating proclivities have
been chiefly manifest in attack upon
men who have rare capacity for busi-
ness success and constructive leader
ship, it is to be hoped that their nat
ural repugnance to yellow journals
tic methods will not overcome their
patriotic willingness to serve their
communities and their state in time
Of stress.
Even though the newspapers whose
political demagoguery has plunged
Oregon into the mire of public inef-
ficiency are now clutcning franctical-
ly for helping hands, the fact remains
that for once they are right, in that
help is needed from men who have
ability to help.
Fortunately for Portland, Mr.. Will
cox is ready to undertake big public
work, though not in the position to
which the frenzied Journal would
harness him. The presidency of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
would hamper the broader and great
er work Mr.. Wilcox has undertaken
(and which, by the way, he under
took some time ago, without blare of
trumpets), and Mr.. Wilcox shows his
customary good sense in declining to
assume the cares Of that office.
Fortunate will it be for Oregon
should Mr.. Carter find it possible to
accept a seat in our state legislature.
Considerations of health may
make it impossible for him to assume
arduous legislative activities, but we
hope his reported restoration to his
former physical vigor is so complete
that he can undertake this public
work that is so sorely needed.
Mr.. Carter is a sane and substan-
tial citizen, noted for his public
spirit, just the kind of a man whose
practical counsel in our Legislative
halls will be of value to oregon in
these days of high taxation and op-
pressive regulation.
Later-We note with regret that
Mr.. Carter finds It impossible, in
justice to his health, to become
candidate.

It's common sense to secure what
you're paying for-especially in FIRE
INSURANCE.
Are you positive that the protec-
tion you're paying for is all that the
name implies? Is your company a
strong, reliable one with ample re-
serves?
There is as much difference in Fire
Insurance as there is in clothes; you
want the kind that wears well-"all
wool and yard wide"-the kind that
is thoroughly reliable in all Of its
business transactions and settles
promptly for all just losses. 1t costs
no more to get the good kind and play
safe. That's the only kind that we
would keep in this office.

Billy Sunday Bounded Desk Before He
Got Through.

Boston, Dec. 9.-Five minutes wac all
Billy Sunday could spare to address the
Vermont Baptist ministers conference in
Ford hall yesterday, but in that bit Of
time he exempli led his peppery methods
of preaching and said he knew mo sub
stitute for the gospel of eternal damna-
ton"
To the 200 ministers and their wives
he was Rev. William A. Sunday, and he
started his little talk with his company
manners. Before be got through, how
ever his reserve disappeared, along with
his hoarseness, and he was banging the
desk like the tabernacle "Billy.'

God gives it to me, though it may not

let Baptist ministers work like other de-
nominations at the border.

NEARLY CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Jules Pepin of Burlington Probably
Saved By His Great Strength.

Burlington, Dec. Dulles Pepin mar
rowly escaped death WREN caught in the
elevator at Il. +. Clarkson's store yes.
terday and as il was received two frac'
tured ribs and ligaments torn from his
back He thrust his head and shoulders
into the elevator well from an upper
story. He saw the elevator car ascend
ing and watched IL for a moment, un-
mindful of the weights which drop at
the same time. He was caught by these
weights.
Mr.. Pepin had the presence of mind
to stretch out his arms and caught hold
of two of the uprights which support
the elevator. The weights caught him
on the back of the neck II is owing
to his great strength that hefsaved his
life for, in spite of the heavy weight
upon his neck, he clung to the side and
the weights, stopping in their progress,
pushed out two hardwood grooves upon
which they ran. They fell outwards into
the shaft and Mr.. Pepin was released.
The elevator had by this time got TO the
second floor. When the weights were
released Mr.. Pepin would have fallen to
his death had not Mr.. Bergeron seized
him from the back.
