The mention OF stage and screen
brings to mind the stress he lays on
both branches OF the dramatic activ-
'ity. He believes firmly that an actor
needs to vary his medium. "You can
gain new ideas from your association
with either to the benefit of your own
endeavor and also OF the other me-
dunn. The screen actor can bring to
the stage points that are valuable.

ment. with stage ideas brought to
the screen. There is no doubt that

suffer stage fright after my absence

There was some resemblance between

ASYLUM NOTES

That plaything of the asylum
known as the Oregon system is a
very popular toy these merry days.
A year and a half ago the people
approved a within of the inmates by
passing a law attempting to reduce
the prices which publishers Of coun-
try newspapers could charge for
their advertising. Seeing that they
can go as far as they like, and the
silly public will applaud, the nuts"
now have prepared a measure to fix
the legal rate of interest at 4 to 5
per cent. 1t is as logical and just
as the newspaper rate law passed in
1917. And other laws equally logi-
cal and just should establish the max
imum price of wheat at so cents a
bushel; eggs at 20 cents a dozen;
butter at 20 cents a pound; overallS
at IS cents a pair; wagons at $50
each; automobiles at $3.50 apiece,
and so on.
But why make so many bites of a
cherry ? Let's clean up the whole
job at one gulp. We hereby propose
one great, grand constitutional
amendment, making it a crime to
dwell in Oregon and try to make a
living, and providing Imprisonment
for life as the penalty for such VIC
lation. Let the measure appropriate
all the resources Of the state to con-
struct a penitentiary for incarcerat-
ing the guilty, with c. S. Jackson, in
court TESTERS costume, as command

THE BONA FIDE FARMER

1t is provided that the directors OF
the new Farm Bureau Federation
shall be bona fide" farmers. This
is a brief and blunt way of stating a
fundamental requirement, but it
doesn't end there. 1t opens up the
whole question Of the selection OF
farm leadership.
Cream rises to the top. Born
leaders are irresistibly pushed for
ward, and others fitted to assume
responsibility are quickly loaded
with it. But ambition, egotism, and
plain, unmixed nerve also lead 9TH
ers not qualified for sane leadership
to push into the front ranks and
strive for places at the head of the
procession. This second fact is more
important than the first because in
it lies the danger. These two class
es of leaders are always in evil
dence: the able and the s~elf-chosen
To-day, more than ever before,
false leadership is gaining ground
Shallow-minded men with persuas-
i've and aggressive manners coupl-
ed with a certain s~hrewdness that en-
ables them to impress the body of
their followers, are leading large
groups Of sound-minded men into
dangerous situations.

FACING THE NEW YEAR

History is a record of extremes.
1t divides the eras Of hardshipS,
luxury, conquest, cruelty, lust, splen.
dor, famine, industry, idleness, greed
and ~pestilence.
Though it is writ on stone, paper
and the minds of men that danger
turks in extremes, the lesson comes
down the centuries to this day un-
needed.
AT this moment, hallowed by its
Christian significance, a man is at
his neighbor's throat for dollars. A
year ago it was for principles and the
principals were nations. Now prin-
cipals are individuals, even as you
and |.
The extreme that perpetuates all
others is the present day disregard
for that basis of all happiness, con-
cord and prosperity-the Golden
Rule.
Its a good rule that works both
ways-benefitting him who applies it
and bringing good to all humanity.
In the practice of it you can never
reach the extreme. The Golden
Rule is self-modifying.
1t engenders love-a fellowship
with and affection for all human
kind. Love is the parent of good,
another word self-modifying.
Let's summon the good, the decen-
cy, the Real in us at this suspicious
season and face the newday, the
New Year, the new era with a new
feeling for those about US and a bet
ter understanding for all that peace
on-earth- goodwill implies.

And that the girls will all look out.

And at the church cantata, he is very

He jokes, he warns, ne gives advice

When @e are born he greets us with
