for its action, which w-ere used
as the pattern for the early
United States Congress by
Thomas Jefferson.
It was General Henry M.
Robert who, as early as 1876,
published his Robert’s Rule of
Order, setting down the pro-
cedure of the congress and
other rules, which he condensed
and adapted . for the u s e of
organizations."

Local merchants have donat-

Ed figgered the boy probable
was thinking how sticks and
stones jest break bones, but
words got him in aheap of
trouble.
Personal, I give up on an-
gles. I saw where this feller
voted fer the state to raise all
road signs two* feet, cause he
said if the job was left to the
Federal Government they’d
lower the roads two feet.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
(
■
Ever now and then, the fel-
ler that runs the country store
cuts somepun out of the maga-
zines he gits, and he passes em
on to the fellers fer their dis-
cussions. Saturday night, he had
this clipping of a ad run by
the Oregon Department of Pa-
role and Probation. The ad was
fer aids to work in the de-
partment.
What struck the store fel-
ler’s eye was that the ad said
“in order to qualify the appli-
cant must have been convicted
of a felony within the state of
. Oregon, and have been confin-
ed in a state penal institution.”
The store feller said he alius
had heard the only way to git
ahead in the game was to be
bom with 40 years experience,
but he allowed this was zthe
first time he had saw where be-
ing a ex-convict was a advant-
age in getting a job.
Actual, said Ed Doolittle,
when you think about it the ad
makes a lot of sense. What
better way to understand the
problems of convicts than to
of been one, ask Ed, and what
other line of work is a ex-con-
vict better perpared fer? It
looked to Ed like a all-around
good idee, and it is to bad that
we don’t .use that same way to
fill other jobs.
Fer instant, Ed went on, be
saw where the Army spent >11
million running ads fer soldiers,
but'they didn't try the ex-
perience angle on the boys. The
ads got 4,000 recruits, the Army
said, and that figgered out to
somepun like $2,600 fer each
man. If the Army will pay that
kind of money jest to git em
in, said Ed, think how tickled
the Army would be to keep
them that’s got experience.
The trick is to git the fellers
that’s been in the Army to go
back in with the idee of chang-
ing things fer 'the better, Ed
said, like cutting out KP and
working on weekends. Ed said
he would admit it’s a heap
easier to make the Army bet-
ter than prison, but the exper-
ience angle would work jest
as good.
Clem Webster said it was
funny to him that a feller can’t
be a plumber unless he’s got
■ five year experience as a plum-
ber, but he can git elected to
any office without no exper-
ience at all. The only time we
place any value on political ex-
perience, Clem said, is when
our feller is in office and has
got it If we’re trying to,git
our feller in office, he don’t
need it, was Clem’s words.
General speaking, agreed Ed,
you can’t figger angles. Ed re-
ported where a judge in Vir-
|. ginia fined a youngster $100
I and sentenced him to sit on a
- , hogpen and look at the hogs
