He was strong in his hopes for the future of the Warm Springs irrigation project whicTi is coming along in fine shape now. One of the distressing things op ened up by Jimmie was the fact that the hay crop in Harney county is in bad shape. The Belle A ranch, be longing to Bill Hanley, which always produces heavily in hay, is almost a total failure and the stock raisers of Harney are shipping out their stock now because of the short crop of hay. "We have never entered upon a winter ! car. rhey returned by way of Camp knowledge, and Its absolute cor scason with such a gloomy aspect be-1 Lewis, where they saw several of the rcctno ' and thoroughness. In fore us," said the Harney county man. POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS Basting threads left In n garment signify that It is not yet paid for. Kill) a cat's back the wrong way, and if you see sparks it Is a slgu of cold weather. Australian negroes used to hide themselves during a thunderstorm to avoid attracting the attention of the thunder demons. An evening red and morning gray will set the traveler on his way. llut an evening gray nnd a morning red will pour down rain on the traveler s head. . ' A black cat Is the theatrical emblem of good luck, and when n new piece Is produced the proper thing to-do to se cure success is to entice a sable tabby to enter the stage from the rear. African tribes have charms, spells, omens, lucky and unlucky days. They makes fetiches of serpents, elephants' teeth .and tigers' claws, and they be lieve that wooden images are Imbued with peculiar power from their divini ties to protect them against danger, disease and witchcraft. FROM THE PENCIUS POINT Constructive criticism seems to hurt ns polgnautly as any other kind. If all people said all that they think, the world might get used to that, too. A beautiful woman can look beau tiful in anything even a breakfast cap. It Is distressing that so many can't distinguish between an Intuition and a prejudice. Lasting disgrace would fall upon the small boy who should ever call a man anything but "that guy." In these times of unprecedented de mand there arc "substitutes" . for everything cscetit common sense. Prize: One dozen dill pickles for a new joke about church services that doesn't depend on a member going to sleep during the sermon.
