Please Tell Me
What to DO.
by CYNTHIA
Do Not Send One

Dear Cynthia have been going
around with young man in the navy
off and on ever since last Easter.
What I would like to know is whether
it would be all right for me to give him
present at Christmas, and il so, what
would be the proper thing?
l don't expect any gift from him and
therefore ] should feel rather foolish If
| did present him with Il gift.
] shall appreciate any advice you give
me. MARY.
j would be wiser not to start the Civ
ing. The young man may not intend
to send you IL present and it would
give thS impression that you expect
one frorRhim. 1t is never awkward for
Il girl to receive n present from a man
which she is not prepared to return.
1t is never Il good plan for girl to
make advances of any sort. IF he sends
YOU present this year, you can send
him one next year.

Additional Local

Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Barr Of Grin
nell, Iowa, were guests the first of
the week at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Day, while on their way
home from Los Angeles where they
had been spending the winter.
Mrs. Francis A. Murphy of Talent
died at local hospital Tuesday
morning where she had been an in
mate for several days, after an ex-
tended illness. The deceased was
5S years Of age and had been sick for
several months. Funeral services
were held Thursday morning and the
body taken to Talent for interment
in the Stearns cemetery.
The little three-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen McGee was
thrown from a moving car yesterday
onto the street and sustained quite
bad bruises The little one was
in the car, and as it round
ed a curve in the street on North
Main, the child was thrown
against the door, which opened and
pricipitated her into the street. She
was taken to a physician where 1t
was found no bones were broken, but
she was badly bruised.

off areas would be covered with
farms. The big thing in this line is
proper supervision, and to me it
appears that this is one of the
things the land settlement commits
sion should undertake"
Plans for installing a number of
farm settlement units in various
sections of the state were discussed.
Five such projects will be launched,
one of which will be near Indepen-
dence, one in Central Oregon, one
in Eastern Oregon, one in Southern
Oregon and another in the coast ter
ritoTy. The commission has only
$4,000 for these units, but should
the state reconstruction bonds car
ry, $637,000 will be available for
the work, and should THE proposed
federal land settlement appropria-
tion of $500, 100000 be made, a
much larger sum will be placed at
the disposal of the commission.

Laugh Reveals Much.

There is the man who is always smil-
ing, whose whole person radiates af-
lection and good cheer. His Is the
frank, open countenance that makes
and keeps friends, for he has the true
spirit of good-fellowship.
He Is the man whom you enjoy going
to with good news, and Of whose SYM
pathy you can be sure when you are
in trouble. He is the friend, always,
that everyone admires, trusts and
likes, just because he has the smile
that spells warmth.
A laugh is q little thing, and appar-
emily to Judge a man by his laugh
seems like making mountain out Of
molehill. But "straws show which
way the wind blows" and psycholO-
gists assert that the little things are
the real indices to character. So watch
out when your friends laugh, and see
II they are worth while.-Rehoboth

Iy Warned His countrymen.

The pamphlet to Lord Liverpool and
the British parliament, written by Wal
ter Savage Landor in 1913, Of which
two copies only are known to exist
makes highly spirited reading. In 1t
he sets out, with keen concern and
much energy Of indignation, to crlti.
cize the magnanimity with which Eu-
rope, and more especially England,
showed themselves inclined to treat
Napoleon after the battle Of Lelpsic,
Napoleon whom Landor regarded as
criminal, fit only for the gallows. OF
Elba, he declared prophetically that 1t
was "a rat trap open at both ends, from
which it was impossible that Napoleon
should not escape" Was the congress
of Vienna, he asked In bitter scorn,
with its "well-dressed ambassadors
and ingenious state papers," to pro-
duce nothing more lasting than an
other treaty of Utrecht? He called in
vain for the temper Of Lord Chatham
which should deliver the country from
mere experimental peace" With
in year Of Napoleon's banishment to
the rat trap open at both ends" he
was back In France, and Europe was
once more plunged into war.

Settlement OF Land
Is a Vital Problem

i At the meeting of the state land
settlement commission held in Port
land Monday Charles L. Wheeler
made the statement that next to the
construction of good roads the great
est need OF this state is the settle
ment of its lands. According to Mr..
Wheeler there are 100000 acres
of logged-off land in Oregon in ad-
dition to the vast areas which may
be reclaimed by drainage and irri-
cation, and all of It can be made pro-
ductive.
Heretofore lumbermen have been
interested only in cutting and mar
keting their timber" continued Mr..
Wheeler, but they are now waking
up to the fact that the land needs at
tention after the timber is exhaust
ed. They are realizing that burning
slashings and settling logged-off
lands is a protection against forest
fires. By leaving slashings on the
ground, the cost Of clearing each
year thereafter will be increased Sc
per acre, due to the heavy under
growth which starts.
in my opinion this land should
be burned over as soon as the timber
is cut, then II should be classified by
land experts and seeded to grasses
and the logging roads should be
turned into wagon roads. This would
partly develop the land for settle
ment. Then the land should be
handled on the same basis as the re-
clamation of arid land thru irriga-
tion. Settlers should be given tracts
of 40 acres or more on easy pay
ments and at a price fixed by some
should be given assistance in clear
ing five to ten acres of ground. With
five acres of ground cleared and in
cultivation, a COW, horses, pigs,
chickens and a house, a farmer in
the logged-off land may be consider
ed over the top and If he has 10
acres in cultivation, he is able to
lay aside some money. The land is
extremely fertile and will raise tre-
mendous crops.
'If a man goes alone into the
logged-off land, II will cost him
about s125 an acre to clear the soil
and he will Just about get a farm
started during his life. With several
working together comparatively and
with, stump puller, the clearing
can be done for less than $50 an
acre. BY adopting some sort OF
plan whereby the work of clearing
five or ten acres on each tract will
be at small cost to the settler, II
would not be long before our logged

A note on territorial questions
protests particularly against th'
Saar Valley arrangement and th'
transfer of the Malmedy, Moresnet
and Eupen districts to Belgium, as
we'll as the forced evacuation of a
part of Schleswig.
A note on reparation does not pro-
test against the payment by Germany
for the devastation wrought in Bel
GUM and Northern France, which 1t
says Germany is ready to do willing
ly. 1t is added, however, that Ger
many will not pay reparation for
this damage on the principle that
she was responsible for the war
The note on the question of pris-
oners says:
"The German peace delegation
notes with satisfaction that the pro-
feet recognizes the principle of the
return of prisoners of war and civ
ilians with the least possible delay.
The delegation deems that all the
details of the execution of this
measure ought to be submitted to a
special commission.
Direct oral discussions between
abe commission and nearly all the
belligerants concerning prisoners Of
war have been considered, even dur
ing hostiilties, as the surest means
of solving the difficulties. II ought
today TO be all the easier to recon-
cile the different viewpoints and
clear up certain obscurities still ex-
listing on certain details of the prob
lem.
FOR instance, as result or the
diversity of viewpoint of the law in
the different countries interested
the German delegation considers II
indispensable that prisoners of wal
and the civilians undergoing penal
ties for other infractions than those
of discipline should be in group
that ought to be repatriated uncon-
ditionally. Germany has recognized
this principle regarding prisoners OF
war and civilians of the allied and
associated powers in its custody.
THE German delegation deems Il
necessary for reasons of equity to
accord certain improvements in the
treatment OF prisoners, military and
civilians pending the time when they
may return to their own country"
