The library bill means simply this: The State Board will give $10 and the County Board $10 to twelve schools in the county, provided the schools will raise $10 by private means. Five schools in the western part of the county and one in Salem have noti fied us that their $10 have been raised; six others can come in, which we hope they will do at once. The county's portion is ready now and the State's will be in a few days. We are anxious to have the libraries established before the school term ends so that the children get the books to read during vacation. We earnestly request all the teach ers that can possibly do so attend the association on the fourth Saturday, 2Gth, as we wish to consult them in ref erence to summer school matters. S. P. HOLLADAY, Superintendent Education. March 15, 1904. A Favorite Remedy for Babies. It pleasant taste and prompt cures have made Chamberlain's Cough Rem a favorite with the mothers of small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds and prevents any danger of pneumonia or other serious conse quences. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears will prevent the attack. For .ale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Producer Not In It. Uncontradicted facts, brought to light in committee hearings in con gress during inquiries concerning leg islation affecting labor and agricul tural interests in the United States, show that nearly all American prod ucts are sold cheaper in foreign coun tries than at home. By applying busi ness experience and facts to this dis parity Representative William Ran dolph Hearst of New York has forced certain trust managers to admit that they benefit by this system of produc tion under special tariff privileges, yet they do not permit their workmen to share any proportion of the advan tages. The employers take all the pros perity, and, as the New York states man has repeatedly emphasized in and out of congress, they give no concern to the laborer or farmer. Good for Children. The pleasant to .ake and harmless One Minute Cough cure gives immedi ate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup and LaGrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat of the trouble.

During the reign of Emperor Napo leon I. at a dinner in Paris the conver sation turned upon the emperor and his government. One of the company remarked that he was a great man, but was too fond of war. When the party broke up, a gentleman who was present requested to speak in private to the person who had made that ob servation. "Sir," said he, "I am sorry for It, but I must request you to go with me to the police." "Why?" said the other ~in the greatest apparent alarm. "I have said nothing against the emperor but what every one must acknowledge, that he is too fond of war. There can be no harm in that." "With that I have nothing to do. You must go with me to the police." The other now began to show the strongest symptoms of fear. He entreated the police agent in the most pathetic lan guage to have compassion on him. The other; however, stood unmoved by ll his solicitation, when suddenly the man rose from his knees and burst into a laugh, to the utter astonishment of the informer. "You thing you have caught mne,"~ said he. "You are a spy of the police. So am I, and I was put over you to see whether you would do your duty." THE COST OF A LEGACY. Sometimes It Doesn't Pay to Inherit Money In Italy. In Italy It appears to be a somewhat expensive affair to inherit money that is, If it be a small sum. Not long ago a young man died In the little town of Romagna who left 1 lira-58 centesimi, or not quIte 34 cents. This sum, which had been deposited in the postoffice savings bank, became the property of the ydung man's father. As the amount was so small, the fa ther thought it unnecessary,. to make a declaration of the legacy as the law prescribes, especially as the stamped paper on which the declaration must be made would cost about 22 centesimi more than the money involved. Three months afterward he received a demand from the local state treasury for the payment of 14 lire 48 centesimi (nearly $3). Thinking a mistake had been made, he took no notice of this demand, with the result thatf later:an official called upon him and demanded the immediate payment of 18 lire ($3.50). The father had not sufficient money in hand, so the official took pos session of the man's furniture. The cost of this seizure brought the total sum to 30 lire, which the poor man had to pay that same evening to avoid the sale-of his goods by auction.
