oREaoN's PART m THE FLAG.
(Eugene Daily Guard.l

A%@N6NAS Doay ohoA0-g
The Eugene Guard says that every one
knows that one of the stars in the Am
eriean flag represents Oregon, but few
and very few at that know which one
belongs to US. Every state in the Un-
ion has its own individual and partieu-
lar star and its placement on the square
of blue is definitely regulated by law
and executive order.
Oregon can be easily located on the
flag-the fifth star down the left hand
side. In 1912, on the 26th day of Oe.
tober, the last executive order concern
ing the flag was made and it provided
for the specific arrangement of the
stars. They were to be arranged in hori-
.ontal rows Of eight stars each. Start
ing in the upper left hand corner and
placing each row from left 10 right, the
star corresponding to each. state is num-
bered in the order of the state 3 ratifi-
cation of the constitution
Thus star No. 1 in the upper left hand
corner is for Delaware Star No. 4S, in
the lower right hand corner, is for Ari-
zona.

state.

HOW TO TELL IF
 YOU ARE EDUCATED

A university professor has evolved a series of test ques- tions for the educated which he avows, are the best evidence of real education. If you can answer yes" to all the ques- tions you are truly educated, the professor says. Here are the questions:
 Has education given you sympathy with all the good causes and made you espouse them?
 Has it made you public spir- ited?
 Has it made you brother to the weak?
 Have you learned how to make friends and keep them?
 Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself?
 Can you look an honest man or a pure woman in the eye?
 Do you see anything to love in a little child?
 Will lonely dog follow you in the street?
 Can you be high minded and happy in the meanest drudger- ies of life?
 Do you think that washing dishes and hoeing corn is just as compatible with high think ing as piano playing or golf?
 Are you good for anything yourself?
 Can you be happy alone?
 Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents?
 Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky?
 Gan you see anything in the puddle but mud?

 home, No other joy so great As those two tiny flowerlets Straight from the pearly gates But, oh, how sad our hearts
 are now, God called them home once
 more, He needed them to bloom Again upon the golden shore. He sent them down to brighten
 earth, For those few fleeting hours But could not spare them long

 to us, When earthly trials are o'er, We know we'll find them wait

 W. J. Jernigan of the Exten-

GARDEN HINTS FOR
 JANUARY

Do not forget the garden during January. Now is the time to remove and burn all rubbish and repair the garden fence to keep out the chickens and rabbits.
 Well routed manure applied to the asparagus or the hubarb bed at this time will give the plants new Vigo1 and increase the yield and improve the qual- ity of the product.
 Have you planned your gar den for the year? If not, why not do so now? It will be pas time for you during the cold rainy days and will enable you to go about your garden work in a more intelligent way.
 Why not plant a couple of rows each of blackberries and raspberries? They will supply your family with delicious Der. ries in the early summer. Next month will be time tC SOW some of the early vege tables such as cabbage, radish and lettuce in the hot bed Have you the sashes andframe. ready?

CLEAR MORE LAND

The average farm in Arkan- sas contains a good deal of un- improved land which could be brought under cultivation and this should be done as a means of enlarging the farm busi- ness and increasing the farm income. There are many farms in the state of about 80 acres, on which are two able-bodied men and yet only 30 acres of these farms are under cultiva- ton, whereas double this area could be brought under culti- vation and the farmers income increased greatly thereby. It has been proven in this state, and in others, that farms which require three or four horses to operate them make more mon- ey than those which require only one or two horses and it would seem that clearing more land is one of the easiest ways to enlarge the farm business, to increase the farm income and to make the farm itself more valuable.

A close connection exists between these two - cold weather and rheu- matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London, has the most followers in the medical profession in the belief that the pres ence in the system of uric acid, or it's salts in excess, Is the real cause of rheu- matism. Everyone has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets cold . there is often copious sediment of briekdust
 Several causes may lead up to an accumulation of uric acid in the system, which, in turn, causes rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers, or painful joints. For one reason the skin does not throw off the uric acid, by profuse sweating, as in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden. Another reason

Why Rheumatism SsgaaaG&s
 With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. D.

is that people do not drink as much water in cold weather as in summer. which helps to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat more meat in cold weather, and some people are so susceptible that they soon develop rheumatism after eating meat.
 At all such times persons should drink copiously of hot water, say, a pint morning and night, and take Anuric three or four times a day. This An uric comes in tablet form and can be had at almost any drug store. It dis solves the uric acid in the system and carries it outward. I would advise everyone to take Anuric occasionally, and continue for three or four weeks, and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout and many of the painful disorders due to uric acid.
