Art and Nature.

Art is the expression of life. Ma
ture is beloved by every normal human
being. Because of this we are ant to
think that nature is art. Nature is
the inspiration for art, but the two
are widely different. Nature does NOT
take into consideration the needs to
which these objects are to be put. A
bower growing in the field was never
supposed to be embroidered on sofa
pillow or painted on a plate. If you
are translating anything into art, con-
ventionalize it.-Exchange.

GET TOGETHER FOR THE NATIONS GOOD

These days of the greatest crisis IN the nations
history. when the fullest service of every man, the
most efficient support of every industry, are essen
tial to the national welfare, are not time either
for employees to make unreasonable demands or
for employers to adopt an incorporating attl-
tude and refuse to confer with their men. Rather
is it time for mutual conference and understand
ing, for willingness to give and take, to ADJUST
matters on the best basis possible. Yet here in
the Northwest the section to which the govern-
ment is looking for millions Of feet of lumber and
as many wooden ships as we can build, the street
car systems of our two principal cities are tied up
and the numbering industry is going to do it

A BIG MANS OPPORTUNITY.

The industrial situation in this state presents
wonderful opportunity for big man to perform
great patriotic service We don't need special

litical sashaying probably would make the situa-
ton worse-but what we do need is a man big
enough and broad enough in his appeal to bring
the warning factions together, perfect an indus.

ordinate the resources of this state in industries
and men that we can do our share and a little
more during the national crisis.

men can hold out against such compelling force.
Here is an ideal opportunity for some one-who
