To clear the mat . ter all that is necessary to say re garding this vexing question is this: All those who have registered since last June are illegally registered and Will have to be registered over again, j : The ' notaries and justices - of the peace who were , designated to per form registration in places outside of the county seat, were illegally ' ap pointed and will have to be appointed over again in accordance with the new ruling, or others will have to be selected in - their ' places. ' For La Grande the county clerk will perform . this duty. ,The , county clerk states that every person should register for the 1914 election. Books will be open for that purpose from the first Mon day in January and will be open until some fifteen days before the primar ies, which is on the 15th of May.. The tegular election takes place on the 4th of November.

The outside of the royal 'pal ace is, of course, guarded by soldiers snd detectives all nlgbt, and several night watchmen pace up and down the corridors through the hours of dark ness, says, the London correspondent of the New York Sun." . . These men are shod In thick felt slip pers so that their footsteps will not wake the royal sleeper, and one of them Is always near the king's room until his majesty Is called by his valet In the morning, v ' . , I , Every door and window in the pal ace Is frequently examined, - and It would be Impossible for any intruder to get in without being discovered. The king Is us well protected as the czar of Russia, who has a guard of armed Cossacks outside of his room, or the king of Spiiln, who Is watched by a squad of specially picked soldiers, who keep the keys of all the doors of the palace during the night t l Oratory and 8asiokness. t According to a.

RECEPTION COMMITTEE. . Auto-Halluoination. ' ' Answering the question "Will you please explain how, a person Is lifted by, four persons placing their Index fingers under, his shoulders and legs by means of slight lifting force at time of Inhaling a long breath by each person and by the person about to be lifted?" Edgar Lucien Larkin In the New York American says: . "I have been asked this question many times. If a person actually has been lifted and those doing the lifting think that the 'law of gravity is par tially suspended' then the lifters are under self hallucination or. auto sog gestlon In so far as their Impression of lifting is concerned. They actually lift far more than they think, but they will n.pt admit this, as they are par tially self hallucinated in the tr" that the body of the person wll! r'::o.

Being flnnly convinced that a cer tain contest would terminate in con formity with his opinions, a farmer In New York state wagered bis new auto mobile against a .wheelbarrow' on the result of 'the contest In question and lost. Giving up the property, he grim ly trudged seven miles to his home. Probably Mb family noticed that he had a grouch too. Considered In the calm, clear, cold light of pure reason, the gentleman succeeded In proving himself h nenr relative to a California canary otherwise known as a donkey. Had he won the bet the result would have been pretty much the same, for betting Is not argument, evidence or proof of anything. It adds no force, power or dignity to any opluion or set of opinions. It Is merely the outpour ing of the gambling spirit, andtbat Is a spirit that has led many a man to utter beggary who might have adorned a home and ornamented a community. Detroit Free Tress, . ...

Mr. in selecting the corn in the field, you go over it rather hur riedly. " When winter comes, you will find many that will not suit you.

This allows a and Mrs. Housewife mav eniov the trip to market. There may be dt version in simply getting producer and consumer together; but there is no real economy in it. The real job is not so much to eliminate a middle man as to devise a system that shall be more economical than ,his, arid that involves organization on a pretty extensive scale. Cost of living is not to be materi ally reduced by simply taking a mar' ket basket in hand. Saturday Even ing Post Is Farming a Business?

His ignorance as to those bus-f tnbution in he world may be pre iness essentials is, doubtless, directly , cisely the one in which producer and traceable to the fact that he rarely consumer deal directly with each oth- keeps any accounts worthy of the( - name. But this is only a secondary reason. The main one is that the farmer has never got into the habit i of looking upon his farm and its ope rations as a financial enterprise, as does the business man who operates a store or a factory. In the" pioneer days, the farm was merely the farm er's home. Out of its cultivated acres, by the hard toil of himself and family, he wrested a living. He rarely ex pected or thought much about a sur plus. Whatever the farm produced beyond these needs was so much gained or wasted, if there was no market. Such deterioration of plant rarely entered into his calculations. Until this habit of thought is changed radically, and the farmer can be led to take a financier's view of his occu pation, fanning can not be. called a business.." r: I How Much Seed Corn to Select National Crop Improvement Service.
