TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
NOT ALL IN BRINGING UP.


1t isn't all in bringing up
Let folks say what they will;
You silver-wash a pewter cup
1t will be pewter still.
Fen he of old, wise solomon,
Who said Train up a child
If / mistake not, raised son,
Gay, rattle-braned and wild
A of mark who fatn would pass
For lord of or land
May have the training of an ass,
And bring him up full grand;
May give him all the wealth of lore,
OF college and of school,
Yet after all may make no more
Than just decent fool.
Another raised by perjury
Upon her bitter bread,
Whose road to knowledge is like that
The good for heaven, must tread,
Has got a spark of Natures light;
He'll fan it to flame
Till in its burning letters bright,
The world may read his name.
If it were all in bringing up,
In counsel and restraint,
Some rascals had been honest men
I'd been. myself, saint.
Oh! it isn't all in bringing up,
Let folks say what they will;
Neglect may dim a silver cup
1t will be silver still.

WHAT WE SHALL READ.

If the book publishers of the country felt
that they could implicitly rely on the judgment
of John Masefeld, poet and author, concerning
the class of books the buying public will call for
in the epoch to follow the war, they would be
much relieved in mind and begin at once their
preparations to meet the coming demand. 1t is
apparent that the book concerns are waiting IN
some perplexity to discover what the popular
taste will be, and find nothing better to do IN
the meantime than to flood the land with books
about the war and with fiction of little worth,
on the chance that some of them may score
hit and make good the losses on the rest. Casual
examiners of the recent fiction issues which
crowd the bookshelves of the public library,
find themselves wondering when frothier out
put ever fell from the press and find it difficult
to believe that more than few of the books
repay the cost of publication.
Mr. Masefield is of opinion that big move
ment in poetry will begin few years after the
return of peace, coming in all countries at once
as all great movements do, inspired by the
world escape and deliverance from the war.
AS for other books he sees "romanticism COM

had a surfeit of war; and will crave the books
that open to them realms of fanciful delight

CHAPTER !.
From Muftl 10 Khaki.

~ sNV&Nts
It was in an office In Jersey City,
I was sitting at my desk talking to
lieutenant Of the Jersey National
Guard. On the wall was a big war
map decorated with variously colored
little flags showing the position Of the
opposing armies on the western front
in France. In front Of me on the desk
lay New York paper with big iiaring
headlines:
LusiTANlA sUNKI AMERICAN
LIVES LosTi
The windows were open and feel
ing Of spring pervaded the air.
Through the open windows came the
strains Of hurdy- -gurdy playing in the
street--"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be
a Soldier"
"Lusltania Sunk American Lives
Lost i"-"I Didn't Raise My Boy 10
Be Soldier" To us these did not
seem to jlbe.
The lieutenant In silence opened one
of the lower drawers of his desk and
took from It an American flag which
he solemnly draped over the war map
on the wall. Then. turning to me with
grim face. said:
How about 1t, sergeant? You had
better get out the muster roll of the
Mounted Scouts, as ! think they will
be needed In the course of a few days"

evening writing out emergency tele-
grams for the men to report when the

TO his desk. Immediately followed
this action by throwing the kilograms
into the wastebasket. Then we looked
at each other In silence. He was
squirmlng in his chair and I felt de-
pressed and uneasy.
The telephone rang and I answered
1t. 1t was a business call for me, re-
questing my services for an out.of.
town assignment. Business was not
very good, so this was very welcome.
After listening to the proposition
seemed to be swayed by a peculiarly
strong force within me, and answered,
II am sorry that ! cannot accept your
offer, but am leaving for England
next week." and hung up the receiver.
The lieutenant swung around in his
chair, and stared at me In blank aston
ishment. A sinking sensation came
over me, but I deHantiy answered his
look with, "Well, It's so. I'm going

County School Superintendent
and the Superintendents OF City
Schools will conduct a campaign
throughout the state to enroll all
boys between the ages of 16 and
Il years to take care Of the com.
ing harvest. This enrolment is
deemed necessary by the govern

on farm labor throughout the
nation. and upon the youths the
country depends for its labor TO
harvest the crops.
The Boys Working Reserve is
not a military organization. nor
an organization in any way de.
voted to the training Of boys for
military service. All boys be.
tween the ages Of 16 and II years
will be enrolled regardless of
their present occupations. but no
boy will oe taken from his job
without his consent.

.quested to see that their boys are

BUSINESS MEN NEEDED;
CANDIDATE FILLS BILL

With the President calling up
on business men TO give their
services TO the Nation in this
national crisis, many people are
coming to consider q politician
and ordinary Office seeker O little
out of place, and to give their
attention 10 the candidacy of such
young business men as r. N.
Stanfeld, Republican candidate
for Republican nomination for
United States Senator.
Mr. Stanfield is one of the big.
gest men the state has produced.
He has big business interests of
his own, which were built up by
his individual efforts, and in ad-
dition thereto, he is familiar with
every phase of Oregon's indus.
trial development. For q years
he has been a familiar figure in
Eastern Oregon, and during the
past six or ten years has become
known to every section Of the
state, not only for the business
which he has built up. bat for his
interest in state affairs. having
been a member of the Legislature
for the past six years. and at
present Speaker of the House.
He has been an aggressive and
tireless worker for all things.
which tend towards improve
ment of conditions or betterment
of communities. Irrigation, good
roads, improved markets, trans
portation facilities have had his
strongest support. both as private
citizen and a legislator. He has
served on important committees
in the State Legislature, and as.
sisted materially in the framing
and passage of many constructive
cases of legislation.
His campaign has now reached
the stage where it is freely pre-
dicted that he will be the nomi-
nee. His friends and supporters
are confident that he will carry
Multnomah county. and in addi-
tion thereto will carry the ma
jority of counties of western Ore
Igon. That he will have the solid
vote of eastern Oregon goes with.
