HOUSE SUSTAINS PRESIDENT'S VETO Washington. President Wilson's ve to of the legislative appropriation bill, as containing aa Infringement on ex ecutive authority, was sustained In tht house against the effort of the repub lics majority to override It. Though aided by s handful of dem ocrats, the republicans tailed by 2S votes to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority to repass the bill over the president's disapproval. The measure then went back to the appropriation committee for elimination of the sec tions objected to snd will be returned to the bouse for passage in Its modi fied form. ' The republicans rolled up 170 votes to overcome ths veto, but the demo crats cast 117 votes to sustain the president The vote carries with It a denial of opportunity for the senate to attempt offsetting the veto, for the redrafted measure will leave the house without the provision relating to pow ers of the joint committee on printing at whl the veto was aimed. PROPOSED CHANGE IN MARKETING SYSTEM Portland, Or. Initial steps toward closer co-operation between the farmer, labor and business Interests of ths state were taken at a meeting at the chamber ot commerce under auspices of the State Taxpayers' league. At ths conclusion of an all-day session s un animous vote was recorded in favor of submitting s market commission bill to the voters ot Oregon at the coming election. Outlines of s measure were agreed upon which follow to a great extent the provision of a similar enactment in force In California. Some of the provisions of the bill as adopted give the market commission power to Investigate and tabulate mar ket facilities for the producers ot tht state, authority to encourage snd aid in the establishing of co-operative as sociations between the producers. In the main, the market commission fur nishes leadership for the farmers and producers In finding a market for their products. Crusoe's Umbrella. Defne it will be remembered, makes RoMnson Crusoe describe that he had seen umbrellas employed in the Brazils and that he had constructed his own umbrella In Imitation of them. "I covered It with skins," he snld, "the hair outward, so that it cast oft the rain like a pent house and kept off the sun so effectually that I could walk out In the hottest weather with greater advantage than I could before in the coolest." Origin of "Pitched Battle." "A pitched battle" originated In the days of knight-errantry and was so called then because boiling pitch was used by the defenders of a feudal castle to repel the attacking force. The battles, which usually took place outside the castle walls, would soon end when the boiling pitch began to flow from a tank on top of the walls. This originated the term "a pitched battle."

In a handful of snow there might ; be 20,000 crystals, ami no two of then ' would I alike. Sleet Is snow which. Id Its passsge . to the earth, ban paused through s lay-. er of wanner sir, and become partially i melted. J Snow Is early or late, according to! whether the summer was short and soon over or extended to the autumn, i A short, early summer, means that the I earth cools more quickly. Ground which Is covered with snow very rarely falls below freezing point, although the sir msy be fifteen to twen ty degrees colder. This Is because snow Is s very bad conductor of heat It buhls the heat In the ground and stops Its radiation. The reference In the Psalms: "He gtveth snow like wool," Is not to the fact that snow and wool art alike In appearance, but to the warmth of each. Snow la warm because air la held In Its minute crystal Interstices. No heat escapes from anything covered with snow. Snow Is, literally, s valuable I manure, and nourishes the earth wits j urn rnriMunc acui, wnicn penetrates, slowly Into the soil and Is thus fully absortwMl. Finally, mow Is ruinous to shoe : leather, because It warms the leather, I opens It, anr tliea penetrates. PREVENT CROWDING OF PIGS Properly Constructed Feed Trough j Assures Each Individual Porker of His Share. Young pigs should be given their feed In such a mnnner that each tndl-; Tldual pig gets Its share. The sim plest way to accomplish this Is to al low the Din to eat from a properly constructed feed trough, one that will j keep the pigs out of the feed and will j lessen the possibilities of crowding. 5 6 1 8 LIVE STOCK NOTES f - v Every colt raised will be one more work animal to help till farms.
