The survey further states thTt commercial bakeries now bake most of the bread that io Oaten in this country and points out that having conquer ed this great market, the bakers now have a chance to de monstrate their skill by making cakes better and cheaper than they can be made at home. ;, Some members of the Department of Agriculture sur vey crowd must have visited Douglas county while malting this study because the report goes on to state that u com mercial bakeries arc to make a success of competing with homo baked cakes, the baker must be able to convince the housewife that his cake is as good as the ones she bakes her self. What a proper warning that is and what a time oak er,;in this county are going to have to make better cakes than local women folks make. This writer is not without a full knowledge of the sub ject when he makes the above statement. Attendance at several grange suppers and community potluck dinners has coiyinced this writer that while the bakers may eventually bo;;able to market their cakes in most parts of the country thoy will never get to first base here. Whether it is the wonderful climate, the low wind velocity, the distance from big"cities, or whatelse, the women folks of Douglas county axtthe best cake bakers in the world. This, furthermore, can be considered a challenge if it is read by persons living outside the county who consider themselves also in a com munity of good cake bakers. Bring on your cakes. This writer will judge and assures you that a very careful test v ill be made of all cakes submitted. ; o- ; Keep this date open: October 19th. That will be a great day in this valley. The fine new court house will be ; opened and dedicated on that day and the city of Roseburg i.H- planning big doings. I BRINGING UP FATHER By C so.

KNOW HOW TO REVIVE VICTIM OF PRO WNING Prompt Aid and Perseverance May Prevent Many of the Summer Swimming Tragedies, Says Dr. Copcland, Listing First Aid Methods. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Scl. 't from New York. Former Commissioner 0 ijca.'Oi. J'ea York City. ALTHOUGH the weather was cold and somewhat backward this year, tlicro were many people brave enough to venture into the water oven in the very early Spring. Moat of these venturesome ones know how to swim, but even among good swimmers accidents often occur. One may have a severe cramp in the leg, or other part of the body; a sudden sinking spell, or perhaps an acute heart attack as a result of going into the water too soon after eating. Any one of these accidents may result in tragedy, or near tragedy. Every Summor has its quota of accidents from drowning or somo other water hazard. , , . At the first news of drowning, send for a doctor and a pulmotor. You must not trust to your own efforts, but moke use of them only until a mora experienced person arrives on the grins and bears everything eise about which nothing can be done. Such gaucherie calls for peneci poise and Belf-control. and we must show our manners even if the visi tor doan't show bis! Of course if it happens ouen. and if our friendship is repson- sible for the visit, we must. 01 course, make it kar lo the visitor that our position does not permit atirh a urotracted visit. In this cane iho social Dolnt of view must ive way to the professional re i Quiremeuts. I Commenting on a New Frock fKAR MRS.

O. M. NO; these forms of comment aren't especiaiy pleasant, but if one knows 'the other person very well it is qulle natural to say, I do like your new irocn so much," or "vi Hat a very Deauu ful new coat you have!" This friendly sort of comment from one we know very well need not be embarrassing. You are delighted that some one UkeB what you wear, and you quite naturally and simply say so: "Thank ou. 1 am de lighted to have you say bo," or I am so glad that you like It.

Not Improper if Necessary DEAR MRS. iiEECKMAN: Dearhyl While sitting at the table with one of my new acquaintances saw a girl friend across the room from n:e whom 1 had not seen in a year. 1 asked the young man with whom I was dining to excuse me while I went over and spoke to her. Was this Improper for me to do? READER. NO; but was it necessary?

An hour later the two proceeded by cab to the ostentationsly mas niflcent home of Mrs. Earl St. Clair. An elaborate garden and scrolled gates shielded the house from the rude street and the two iuvestigators were forthwith im pressed by the luxurious taste of the wealthy resident. . Mrs. St. Clair was one of those restless souls who maintain homes in tho four coiners of the world, and spent her time traveling from one establishment to another. Pos sessed of more money than she could keep track -of. her only de light was in constant motion. A supercilious butler took . the doctor's card and several moments later ushered them into the august presence of a lady who was etrua-: gling not to bo fifty. She was tall and artificially stately, and she wore a gown entirely too elaborate and bejeweled for anything but royal splendor. She seemed genu inely puzzled at their visit. "Madam," the doctor apologized. "I know you will forgive our in trusion, but the business that brings us here is urgent. You may even be grateful to us before the night "is over, because we believe you are being enmeshed in one of "the most notorious cases America has yet produced." The widow seemed dazed and lost her carefully cultivated poise. "V4iafs It all about?" she de manded, reverting to type. "A Mr. Slater has come to see you." "Yes." She seemed surprised. "And he has brought a jewel with him an unusual Jewel." "Yes. How did you know? He told me it was a secret." "Secrets," said the doctor, "have a way of circulating. However. I trust that you will coopernte with the police to tills extent: Will you make an appointment with Mr. Slater and then let us keep it?" "Hut I don't understand." she protested. "He came here yester ', day. He said he had been sent by a friend, Mrs. Edison. He showed me the stone. And he was coming here a sain, when my jew eler w ould appraise it." "Did you make an appointment with him?" "No." "Then, Maihim, could you tele phone him at once and say that your jewebT was wilh you and would he please come ami bring the stone with him?" "But why?" "Madam, you may examine our credentials. You can call up the French police. After Mr. Slater comes here, you will know why." ''But I don't want to be dragged into any mess." she protested. "You needn't worry about that." aaid the doctor. "There won't be a word mentioned of your presence." "What is it a romVry?" " No Madam. .M urder." "Mr. Slater " "Yes." The woman seemed to grow pale under her rouge. "Hut Oh. that's nonsense. He's a gentleman." "There have been gentlemen murderers." the doctor assured her. "Will you help u. Madam?" man," she protested. "There must be some mistake. 1 can't believe it!" "Mr. Slater," she said into the telephone. "Mr. Slater? This is Mrs. St. Clair. That jeweler has just come. Could you bring the stone at once? Thank you!" "Are you sure," she turned now to the doctor, "that you have not mixed him up wilh someone ehjej'.' "Positive, Madam." "Well," she said, "I'd taken quite a fancy to him. He's got such nice manners." "He makes a very good impres sion," said the doctor, "but I'm afraid you are about to see him in an unfavorable light. I don't think you'll approve of his manners in an hour or so. An hour passed. Marx squirmed in his chair rest lessly. The doctor stared at the ceiling. Then they heard the door bell ring downstairs. The butler brought word of the expected vis itor. Mrs. St. Clair rose, evidently troubled and nervous. Marx rose, too. The doctor remained seated. They heard soft footsteps as cending the stairs. There was a pause. Then a slight, dark, satur nine individual with pomaded black hair tightly parted in the middle entered the room. "So sorry I'm late," he apolo gized to his hostess. "Gut I got in to a deuce of a traffic jam. You know what Paris streets are like these days." He turned to look at the detec tive and the doctoi. "Marx Is my name," said the In spector. "Glad to meet you, Mr. Slater." Mr. Stater took the detective's hand and pressed It gingerly, "Or. Khinew aid," murmured the doctor. "Ah, yes," hh!U the strange Mr Slater. "You gentlemen- are the ones who are responsible for the surete men who dog my footsteps, Real reason I'm late is that I've been leading them a merry chase in taxis. Like the sport of it." Marx was too astounded to re ply. But tht doctor put forth: "We really didn't mean to annoy you." "If that's an apology," laughed Mr. Slater, "I accept it. Mistakes will happen, even with the Ameri can police, who always get their man or Is that the exclusive pre rogative of the Canadian Koyal Mounted?" Marx flushed, or the jibes ran kled, but he kept his temr. "All we wanted to know " began Marx. "All we wanted to know." con cluded Slater for him. "is whether I murdered the late Mr. Sewell. On my word of honor as a gentle nuw't did not." He grinned, but his mouth was hard.

"Any more opinions?" Mnrxs voice was steel. "No, only advice. And my advlco is good. Get back to America." "Well get back all right," said Marx, "but you're coming with us." "I assure you I'm not. And at this stage of the game I wish to apologize to Mrs. St. Clair for the annoyance caused her by you two gentlemen, and inadvertently by me. Now, if you want to see me, suppose you come to my hotel." "All right," said Marx. "Suppose you come to our hotel," suggested Marx. Slater shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he agreed. "As you wish." Arriving in the suite shared by the detective and the doctor, Marx turner! on Slater suddenly. "Now " he began, glaring bale fully at Slater, "who are you, and what's the game?" 1 "My name is Slater, and the game's none of your damn busi ness." "If you was down in Police head quarters that answer would get you a rap on the head. As it ix, I can only sock you in the jaw. Want me to?" "Oo ahead," said Slater.
