Bring Results Thoughts on Spring Housecleaning NO WOMAN who haa had nny experience with nn averago man need be told that his point of vlow on domestic problems Is pretty generally wrong, or that there arc n. great number of things connected with the household he does not, uud never can understand. One of thorn Is spring housecleaning. Spring housecleaning does not mean nny more to him thnn fnll, winter or Hummer housccleaniug. The pro lix "spring' docB not Impress him All he hears whon ho Is. told that spring housecleaning will begin next week or next dny Is the compound, "housecleaning." And It Is becauso of this, and not because of any In nato desire, on his part to be dis agreeable, that, when the subject of spring housecleaning comes up, he is prono to ask, "Why put It off, bo long?" or "Why begin, so eoon?" To him, houscclcanlhg Is always unseasonable. Not because ho does not Ulto to sco everything about tho house looking spick and span. Ho docs, He is pleased to And every thing no nice and fresh and sweet after a housecleaning, but he Is op posed to tho housecleaning Itself. Ho Li so much opposed to it that If it rested with him It would bo post poned Indefinitely. In tulklng thu mntter over among themselves and they are disposed to be more frank then than at other times men havo been known to con cede that housecleaning Is, perhaps, necessary; but in nlmost tho same breath they confess tholr Inability to understand why It should be mado a domestic function. They cannot, that is, comprehend tho woman's point of view. They nro Incap nblo of grasping tho Idea that u a. houscrlcaulng 1 no h6usccleanlng nt all unless everything In the houso from cellar to attic Is upset. I'atlcnt women have tried tlmo and again to reason with th'em that spring housecleaning Is not simply a reform but n revolution, but to no purpose. Despite everything they Bay, men lnslut upon maintaining that housecleaning Is a process that should operate throughout tho en tire year ns noiselessly and as smoothly us tho Inw of gravitation. Plainly, whero tho dlfforcnco nrlseB Is In the belief on one sldo that spring housecleaning should bo an event worthy of observance by tho wholo household and as much of tho neighborhood ns can bo aroused by tho beating of carpets and rugs, and on thu other side, that it Is a cus tom that should havo gone out when tho renaissance came In, if It be true that this was the beginning or brighter things for mankind. How ever, tho consoling thing Is that tho spring houBccIcnnlng Is over sooner or later, and that whon It Ib over man enjoys its results fully ns much ns woman, if ho would only be frank and own up.

LOGGED-OFF LAND One of the most Important prob-ilng the vast areas of Idle land un lema before the peoplo of Oregon la dor cultivation. The rate of Interest the reclamation or tno logged-orn laud area. In recent years many methods for the practical clearing of cut-over lands hnve been tried out and many suggestions for financing projects to clear the landB hnve been offered; yet but little progress has been made lu converting thu rich landB Into producing farms. What Is considered an Important step toward solving tho problem lu.j1" election. Tho district may bu Washington Is tho measure passed at the lost legislature lu that state, which provides for the creation of agricultural Improvement districts with power to Issue bonds to raise money for clearing logged-off landB. In discussing the provisions of the now law, tho Tacoma Ledger says: "The greatest obstoclo In the way of clearing logged-off lands has been tho heavy cost and tho Inability of ranchers to borrow money at a rate of Interest they can afford to pay. Tho bill furnishes n method of fi nancing by which the rancher can hnve 20 years to pay out, the rate of interest being G per cont. Stnte to lluy Bonds. Money at this rate Is mado avail able by the provision that bonds Is sued by agricultural Improvement districts aro made a preferential In vestment for tho common school fund next to school district bonds. Tho stuto has a large permanent and Irreducible common school fund. It has been Invested In school district and city bonds, and It usually draws 4 to 4 Hi Por cent interest. JuBt a lew days ago tho stato bought an Issuo of Tacoma City bonds. "Under tho new law the state may Invest In the bonds of agri cultural Improvement districts creat ed under tho logged-off land law. Tho assumption of tho now law Is that the Btnto will offer money to such districts at 4& per cent. Henco it Is provided that tho ranch er Bhall pay 5 per cent interest on deferred payments, thu i per cent difference going to pay cost of ad ministration.

Theso dis trict commissioners have tho power to buy and clear land. Ranchors al ready owning laud may sell as much ns 20 acres to tho district at a price nor to exceed $20 an acre, but tho land cannot be purchased until the soil has been examined and It has been estimated that the land can ho cleared for not to exceed $100 an aero. "Tho rancher who sells land to tho district will hnvo the option of taking the contract to clear It nt tho lowest price for the work offored. After It haa been cleared, ho hna the preference right to buy It back ut tho price paid by tho district, plus cost of clearing. Meantime tho rancher who does the elenrlng re ceives pay for thu work, nnd this should furnish him n livelihood whllo ho Is waiting for the land to bo brought Into condition for crop ping.

"Did you boys ever hear that back In the eighties I was regarded ns one of the homeliest men lu Kentucky?" inquired Senator Bradley of n number of newspaper men. "It's n fact, and I'll tell you a story to Illustrate It. "Under the laws of Kentucky the governor has the power of pardon even before grand Jury procecdlng or trial. During my first term as governor my attorney general was John K. Hen driek. Sonio folks said Hendrlck wn the homeliest man In Kentucky; others said 1 was. lu those days I wore u beard, as did Hendrlck. John always maintained thut he was n better look ing man than I, and 1 always disputed his argument. "One day Hendrlck walked Into my office. " 'I waut a pardon, governor,' he on uouncd. '"All right.
