The judges regret their inability
to have the essay receiving the third
prize published exactly as 1t was sub
mitted, inasmuch as its artistic set
ting and treatment we're worthy OF
as much commendation as the sub
ject matter. The essay. aside from
being characterized by great neat
ness is beautifully illustrated with a
number Of views OF rare bits OF Ore

at appropriate intervals throughout
the essay. We commend the interest

GOOD ROADS FOR OREGON

GOOD ROADS FOR OREGON
The national wonders and beau
tiful scenery Of the state OF Oregon
are not half appreciated by the peo-
pie Of our state. Many living with
in a few miles or a days journey
have not seen such wonders as the
Oregon caves and Crater lake on ac-
count Of bad roads.
The Oregon farmers are handicap
ped in progressiveness through lack
OF transportation for their produce.
The farmer is the food producer OF
the world. Give him good roads and
he will enlarge his crops also his
income. Many young folks are leav-
ing their isolated country homes. and
are going to the city in search OF
work and amusements. Many boys
and girls are leaving the farm in
search Of better school equipments
and attractive surroundings.
The Back to the Farm" move
ment should be headed by good
roads.
Many tourists that come to Ore
gon wonder why state with such
wonderful resources and beautiful
scenery has such poor highways.
They take away bad impression OF
our state which will not help to ad-
vertise us as wide awake people.
Good roads make good schools,
good schools make good citizens, and
good citizens will vote for the $6.-

HARD WORK WINS.

TO Success.


Sir Frederick ','reyes, a noted British
surgeon. said recently that hard work
counts for more than brlllinncy. II he
had to submit to major operation. he
added, he would choose careful. hard
worker rather than n brilliant surgeon.
These remarks have excited some

contain any real dlsparagement OF bril-.
liancy; Brillinncy. like genius. In MI

liant people. Hard work would never
have given us Shakespeare, Beethoven,
Keats, Heine. Poe, Shelley.
But hard work " the stan OF life. On
1t we can count. on Il we can rely.
Hard work collects data. asslmilates
them. verities brilliant hypothesis. con.
meets and completes truths received In
flashes"
When the brilliant man Is also hard
worker he conqucrs the world. hut the
slow conquests Of hard work by men OF
talent aud ability are by no means neg.
llgible. We can train children to aI'
preciate work and method, efficiency,
order and industry. When they hap.
pen to be brilliant into the bargain the
reward Of hard work win he CORE
spondingly greater.

alone to give them the success that IL

rub the lenses gently. BE careful never
to twist the glasses. Hold THEM firmly
and do the twisting with the hand that
holds the cloth. Then you will not
work the lenses loose In the frames.

California and Washington have

Those that think this bond act will

the law now In force doubling auto
mobile fees and putting the proceeds
in the state road fund will furnish
funds to pay the interest and prin-
