While he lautfhe.l at the rtry of C"U mrn at a matter of fact no other cla of men ha been equally dilii mlf L,r fonfiJrncf men anj .harper. He i a master of the art of trading. anj hit calline maJf him a keen juJkt of value. lienvr it dor urm uncular that to many farmer have hern to trrn'bt cheated by the. own fatmv The fypk-at old time farmer ran alone in a drear)- circle. He raiVd pa and corn and a Rardrn. to feed hi horx. row, and family. He did rai a little milk from hi cow, which a. about hit only cah crop. Much of the milk rnt W the feeding of young calve. The offal from the barn went back into the land to comolete the profi'tle. circle. At the end of the year, if he had placed no new mortga note on the farm property he did well. In the rich corn and wheat brio, and in the cotton country, of course thin wnt a little better. The toil wa prolific, and it w hard not to make money. But the terrible lump in farm mortice loan that occurred aorne 15 to 20 year ago showed that even in cod land farmer worked at lost. ... . 1 I L I The farmer ha been the only busine that ha naa no ouos-acrj.ini;. Every other line ha had it operation in each department down in black and white. A printer who hould undertake to turn out a lot of poster or cata log without definte figure of expense, obtained from imi!ar operations in past year, might just a well board up hi front window and call in the auction man. But the majority of the old fashioned farmer are till tryirC to raise half a dozen different crops without keeping any separate expense account of each. THE MOTIVES THAT TERSl'ADE the householder to start in snrinu a backyard carden are perhap more philosophical than mer- L cernao'. Many men hae a contemplatie and patoral Tkinn for "seeing thing crow." flie culture of infant beans and potatoes offer something of the same pleasure that conies from raising babies or dogs. 1 he battle with pest and obdurate soils is a game of wits. When the harvest is reached there i a satisfaction in your good me- of "garden truck" not to be had from anv vegetable bought of the grocer. tt.. f r-i.-h.l s nolnf uhrre the monev motie ought 1 li -T C Ul t ""V. iitu ..mv.i.u f- - . also to tempt a good many people who possess a back yard to raise a garden. It i often said that the- little home patches do not pay, that alter you nave deducted cost of fertilizer and seeds and labor hired, that you have nothing left. It is true that a first year attempt shows many failures. Mother Nature is a shy short of a customer. It takes experience and prac tice to adapt your beans, peas, or squashes to her habits. Once you learn the game, the power of sun and soil and rain are sure. Many of us have become too averse to physical labor. As boys most of us dug and hoed in our father's gardens and thought nothing of it. As men we hire some superannuated laborer to work over the land, who charges us $2.00 per day for what an active man could do in half the time. No wonder there is no credit account at the end of the season. Any indoors worker will be surprised, if he will give four or five hours a week to back yard agriculture, to find how much better muscle, wind, and digestion he ha at the end of the summer. There may be r.o money' profit the first time. Another summer should give all the fresh vegetables of the season for practically nothing.

"There should be a tax of $2," he says, "imposed upon every qualified elector, half of it to be returned when he has voted at the primary and the remainder when he votes at the general election." If an outsider may judge by the way large numbers of Fennslvani.ms vote when they do go to the polls, it isn't necessarily a calamity to have them stay at home on election day. And the same remark will apply to even better governed states than Pennsylvania, Merely herding voters to the polls is of little avail. The important consideration is, what will the citizen do with his ballot when he gets there? If he is moved only by the desire to avoid a fine, his verdict on public men and affairs is hardly worth registering. He is likely to vote the usual straight ticket, sliding through a disagreeable duty as easily as possible. Besides, reprehensible as it is to make a practice of ignoring election duties, there are times when staying at home has a definite meaning and purpose. It is recognized as an effective protest by regular party members against party mismanagement. Many a political ring has been chastised into good behavior by such a silent rebuke. E ENGLAND, in the midst of a war that will affect her entire future history, is at last reaching the conclusion that her greatest enemy is not the Fatherland or Austria but drink. Total prohibition is the remedy suggested for drink evil. The awakening of England proves a number of things. It shows that the prohibition movement is not an American movement alone but a world wide movement. It shows that in the advance of civilization, that point OUR EQUIPMENT IS UP TO DATE Modern banking requires equipment which will enable patrons to transact their business promptly.

It was an nounced that the patient bad spent a rather restless night and that bis con dition was not so favorable. The news of the death of Ixrd Roth sehild . which circulated throughout city Just as business men were leav ing for the day, created a shock, for. besides the great power be wielded. Lord Rothschild was one of the most popular men In the city of Ixindoti. This popularity spread far beyond fi nancial, social and sporting dries, as all classes shared his benevolence. Once a year every omnibus In London was decorated with his racing colors, for on this day he sent to each driver and conductor a brace of pheasants. In Jewish circles the death of Ilaron Rothschild creates a vacancy which there Is none to fill. With his other manifold duties be devoted a great amount of time and money to bis poor er co-religlonlsts. Since the war broke out be added to all these voluntary duties the presidency of tho British Red Cross society, which has raised by subscription $7,300,000 within a few months for the care of the wounded. and it Is believed that the consequent work and worry bad much to do with his death.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC PROSPECTS 0 SPRING CONSIDERED GOOD Candidates for the track and base ball teams of the Oregon City high school are hard at work, training to defend the honors of the red and white. Every night the young hope fuls are seen taking part In a cross country run or warming up on the Ca nemah diamond. Coach James West Is well pleased with the showing made by the boys and Is confident that with hard work that both the track and the baseball teams will do credit to the school. Robert Creen, holder of a number of grammar and high school cups and medals won during his track career has been elected manager of the track team and la working the boys out at spare moments. The Oregon City teams, according to Green, will enter a number of county and state track meets and a good showing Is expected by those who have been watching the boys in training. The local high school has won the Clackamaa county cup championship for the past two years and if it Is won this year it will be come the permanent property of the school. Every effort wlirbe made o that the trophy will permanently be come a decoration to the high school assembly hall. Ralph Madison, a member of last year's second team, was elected man ager of the baseball team at a meet ing of the high school athletic associa tion held last week. He has had the boys practicing on the baseball field whenever time would permit. Mr. Medlson has a number of games In view among the fastest high schools of western Oregon. The captain has not been selected but it Is understood that Walter Dungey, a senior will be selected for the position. The Midget baseball team "organ ized five years ago by "The Big Five" will be re-organlzed this year under the name of the 'Outlaws." This team will practically be the second team and It is expected will give the first team some awful "rubs." Taking it all-around the prospects of the Oregon City high school In the athletic line Is very bright for the rest of the school year. SECOND INSTALLMENT. TH( HIOOEN HANOI."- CHAm VI.
