EAT HALF As MUCH
1--WE LONGER AND INCREASE
YOUR EFFICIENCY.

Live longer and Increase your ef-
heiancy. A wise and philosophical
poet named Jean Ia Fontaine, born at
chateAu-Thierry Soi years ago, wrote
this.
A sturgeon, Onee a gluttOn famed was
led
To have for supper-all except the
head.
With wond'rous glee he Toasted on
the fish,
And quickly swallowed down the roy
al dish.
o'erchsrged, hover, his stomach sOon
gave way,
And doctors were required without
delay
The danger imminent, his friends de-
sired
He'd settle everything affairs re-
quired.
Said he, ain that respect I'm quite
prepared;
And, since my time so little is de-
clared,
With diligence l earnestly request
The sturgeon's head you'll get me,
nicely dressed"
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, New York
City's health commissioner, says that
ne knows how to live to 100 years,
but 10 not living up to the rules.
The mar with a treacherous stom-
aeh knows what foods he should avoid
and he avoids them-until he really
wants them.
All of us know that ~oyer-eating
makes US wretehed in hot weather.
But we 60 ahead and everest
All Of us know that moderate sue
cess requires only the simplest rules
Of old-fashioned thrift and eternal
personal restraint. Yet most of us
ignore the rules.
Nearly all our troubles and distress
result from doing what we know we
should avoid. In principle, we are
like the man who, afraid Of wood
alcohol, nevertheless takes a chance
with a bootlegger.
We usually are willing to pay the
price of what we want most
Gradually we are extending the ex-
peetaney of life in America. In the
original registration states - New
England, New York, New Jersey, In
diana, Michigan and the District of
Columbia-statistics issued recently
by the department of commerce show
that in the decade ending 1920, ex-
peetaney at birth increased for white
males from 5o.2S years to 5S.9s years.
and for white females from 1852
years. 1t is estimated that at the rate
of increase by 1866, we will have
reached an expectancy of 70 years.
the life-span allotted by the Psalmist.
There are states, however, in which
the statistics show a considerably
higher expectancy. If we are ever to
get "back to Methuselah," and thus
to give the theories of Bernard
Shaw opportunity for demonstration.
the achievement is likly to be attain
ed first in Kansas. In that state
with its three dry decades to inten-
sify vitality-expectancy for males is
1918 years and for females 60.Ss
years.

SCHOOL
Vote 314 x Yes

n purpose OF the compulsory public school attendance bill is to insure
the instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school age in a common
language a common history and common ideals, to the end that American
unity shall be promoted, American ideals safeguarded and American insti-
buttons perpetuated.
This bill is proposed because its supporters believe that only by universal
education II our children on standard and uniform lines a these things be
achieved.
This bill proposes no religious restrictions 1t cOntemplates no limitation
of the right of the parent to teach rigion to his child in his WI way and
according to his own belief. 1t raises no issue of religious difference.
This bill is purely a measure to insure that all children by attending the
public schools shall be taught alike during their grammar school years, so
that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common veal
and for their country and its institutions.
To make an an-American nation WI must have an-Amencan instruction
of our children along recognized standard lines. Ignorance of American
ideals and Institutions and language is the greatest menace to them, because
those who do not understand them properly do not support them.

TOMBIGBEF RIVER
TO BE SURVEYED
Channel to Connect With Tennessee
Will Be Considered

Columbus, Miss, Dec 25th-Plans
are rapidly maturing for the survey
Of the Tombigbee river by the govern
ment, an appropriation for the sur
yey having been made in. an amend
ment which Congressman John f.
Rankin succeeded in getting through
at the close of the last regular ses-
sion of Congress.
This appropriation provides for a
survey to ascertain the probable cost
the probable tonnage that would
made available for river traffic, agri-
cultural and timber lands which would
be given ar outlet to markets to which
they are now denied by reason of too
great a distance from railroads and
the amount of interest displayed by
the people throughout the section Of
the river that would be included in
the development. This amendment
further provides for the survey to-
extend to the headwaters Of the Tom
bigbee and across Tishomingo ridge
to the Tennessee river to determine the
feasibility Of cutting a canal to con
duct the Tennessee and Tomblgbee
rivers and develop the latent water
power of the upper Tombigbee river.
That vast amount Of energy could
be developed on the Tombigbee is a
recognized fact and a fall Of over 300
feet in less than 100 miles has attract
ed the attention of the state authori-
ties and Director Lowe Of the State
Geological Survey is also planning to-
use some of the funds appropriated
by the state of Mississippi to survey
the streams of the state for hydro
electric development in the upper sec
ton Of the Tombigbee.
Thomas J. Locke, chairman Of the
committee of the Columbus Chamber
of Commerce would be made avilable
stating that the engineers would be-
gin actively on the survey early in
the new year and that they would
come to Columbus for conference
with his committee at which all the
river data compiled by the Chamber
of Commerce would be made eavilable
and all possible assistance rendered
the engineers in their work.
Great interest is taken in this sur
vey by all the people Of this section
and the coming of the surveying party
is eagerly waited as all realize the
great possibilities of the commercial
and hydro-electric development of the
Tombigbee.

BAPTIST Sunday School Fills
Stockings For Orphans

The members of the Baptist Sunday
school remembered the little ones in
the church orphanage with well fill
ed stockings Christmas, one for each
member Of the home, and also with
substantial cash donation that went
toward making Christmas for these
homeless little ones a brighter and
happier time. On Sunday morning,
each member of the school came for
ward with a well-filled stocking and
deposited it in the stack that was des-
tined to bring so much cheer to the lit
tie boys and girls who were to receive
the gifts. A very pretty and efteetlYe
program went with the offering of
the donations, making the time on
fraught with the holiness and sweet
ness of the season. Miss Sailors, pri-
mary teacher in the public school told
the never-old story Of the coming to
earth Of the Christ child, whose birth
day was about 10 dawn, and appro-
pirate songs were sung by the mem
bers Of the different classes, from the
primaries to the seniors. The est
mate of the entire donation on this
occasion was $40, in cash donation
and gifts.
