of vegetable growths that nature surely

disorders common to women in all ages OF

KILL 1T

The proposed measure to change
the Oregon constitution and limit
the legal rate of interest to and
per cent is already having its eff
feet in advising anybody with money
to loan that Oregon will be off the
map for making loans if the measure
should pass.
The small merchant, business man
farmer and home builder would be
the hardest hit as local banks would
be put out of business and no money
would be loaned within the state al
such rates.
This is no oyerdrawn, throw the
scare into them" picture. If yOr
had $500 would you loan it at 5 pei
cent in Oregon when you could gel
much more by loaning it outside the
state?
We cannot afford to let such Z
measure as this get by in this state

This address stands out as one of
the finest portraygls of the grand yet
simple character of George Washing
ton, First of His Country,
Everett calls Washington intrepid.
So he was. He calls him unselush,
So he was. Patriotism always is un-
selfish. When thought of self ad-
yancement at the erpense of ones
country enters into a mans breast
he no longer is patriot, Washing
ton subordinated everything pertain
ing to himself to his country's good.
He has lesson to posterity that
well might be the better learned by
some OF us today.
The first president has been ex-
alted by Americans but he never eX-
alted himself. His Americanism was
that of devotion to country and a
willingness to carry his devotion to
the end of death If death should
come.
The story of Washington should
be one of the first lessons in the
book of AmericaniZation. 1t Is an
appealing story and one to be under
stood by even the mind of child
The memory of Washington, men
have said, has acted as an anchor
to the ship of state in times oI
storm. 1t was not so much Wash
ingtons deeds as a warrior whici
brought to him the admiration and
affection of the American people
as it was the noble simplicity OF hi.
character which was shown, not only
in his deeds but in his actual manner
of life.
Aliens who came to our shores fOl
the purpose of becoming American
citizens almost invariably know
something of George Washington. II
may be that he is only name to
them, but almost always it has been
found that in the minds of the in
coming migrants the name is asso-
ciated with all that they have
thought of as best in the land which
promises them the liberty for which
they seek.
He was a man "whO knew no
glory but his country's good" In
these few quoted words can be found
the whole story of a life OF devotion
to an ideal. No patriot could wish
for a better epitaph ihln this.

| Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel eyed
his smaller cousin with look that
was not wholly pleasant. You know
they do not get along together at all
well. ITO begin with. he is the small
est of the Tree Squirrels" said Happy
Jack. He isn't so very much bigger
than Striped Chipmunk. and that
means he is not half my size. His coat
is red and his waistcoat white. His
ltail is a little more than two-thirds
as long as his body and fiat. but not
very broad. Personally, l don't think
it is much of a tail"
At once Chatterer's quick temper
aared up. and he began to scold. Old
Mother Nature silenced him and told
Happy Jack to go on. He spends
more of his time in the trees than

other cone-bearing trees" continuehi
Happy Jack. He likes the deeper
parts of the Green Forest better than

much at home on the edge of the

trees He cuts the cones from the

they ripen and open on the ground
where he can get at the seeds easily.
He often has several storehouses. and
lays in a supply of cone seeds, nuts.
acorns and corn, when he can get it.
He builds a nest of leaves. twigs and
strips of bark, sometimes in a hollow
tree and sometimes high up in the
branches of tree. He is good
jumper and travels through the tree
tops. jumping from tree to tree when

PSYCHOLOGY IN DAILY LIFE

Miss Emma Grant, instructor In
psychology at our State Normal
school, showed herself to be quite
adept in handling the above subject,
in an interesting and practically
helpful lecture at the council cham
bers Sunday evening.
Miss Grant first sketched an out
line of the past history of theoretic
psychology. She then showed how it
was used in all our daily lives, con-
sciously or unconsciously. Though
we all chance to use some of the
principles of applied psychology by
instinct, yet it Is only the genius,
one in a million, whose natural in
stinct leads him to use enough psy-
Geological laws to make him great
success. Therefore, the rest Of us
should, by patient, stdy of applied
seek to understand the
laws of the, mind, to assist us to
greater success in every way.
Several have been talking for a
few weeks of starting a study class in
applied psychology, and they take
much encouragement from the much
increased attendance at this, their
second meeting.
