No matter how independent wives may get, they usu ally are willing to let hubby pay the bills. A cynic is a man who tells you to kiss the girl on the? theory that you will lament it if you don't and regret it if you do. A surgeon has succeeded in adjusting a woman's mis placed heart. This will probably give him tho world's largest practice. 0-j, irBH1, tSfeflL 5 j firAMUMjfrVT I Kwti. finish nasi ,. tiling WHILE THHTtJWMBorS WERE STIU. FUSiW&-VSTe . I -Sfi3p.

INSMUTWORK A. machine for treating seed wheut with copper carbonale for smut control, simple and inex pensive as devised by (b'orge W, Kuble.'agricultural engineer of the O. A. t. extension service, can hi mude on the farm In a few hours It has u capacity of two bush-M und will treat 15 tu in bushels an hour. Need for an effective method of treating1 seed wheat for u rela tively small acreage Is met in this machine. Kor large :;cate produc tion patent treating machines with larger capacity may be purchased. To be effective In killing the spores of common smut on wheut the copper carbonate must coat every kernel, which requires some sort of special machine. The copper carbonate treatment was Introduced Into Oregon by the experiment slution and extension service In l'J2l- It was proved by fnrmcr-caunly agent di iuonstra llons to he so successful that It lias become an established practice on large wheat farms of eastern Ore gon. It Is being used more largely in other parts of the stale as its superiority ovef other methods be comes better known. Only 125 acres were planted with copper carbonated wheat in y:M( while more than a half million acres thus treated will be planted this year. Two ounces of the dust are re united for. each bushel of wheat. This kills the smut spons with out damage to the prain. allowing r per cent less seed, giving the young seedlings a quicker start, ml permitting storage of treated seed .without damage. Too heuvy applications will' cause the dust to accumulate in the drill, and may cement and caue damage tu tho machinery, , The material should contain not lesi than 5u per cent copper, fine enough thut most of it will pus through n 2ot'-mcsh serevn. about as fine as 1'orlland eeimnr.

I !; Down in Panama the San Dins Indians have set up Hi.' jKoiwblic of Tala with formal notice to the president of! .Panama and tho American minister of their declaration' .of .independence. This isolated tribe knows nothin-r of the "now freedom" hut has not forgotten nor does it intend to forget the old freedom. The Republic of Tala came into .existence the morning after blood had been spilled in a :dash between the native Indians and some Panama planters. The chish was brought about by gradual encroachments by Pauamans and Americans upon the rich country of lha San Was tribes. The country of the San I'.lasians extends from the Sal. P.las coiisl to the liorder of Columbia. The natives live in thatched houses raised on stilts. Their only contact with civilization is on their humeri tiips to the markets at Colon.1 They have avoided intermarriage with either the blacks cr whites and for cenluries have defied subjugation by the Spaniards and later by Columbia and Panama. Visitors to their jealously guarded radm have not been welcome. 1 lilt rich timber tracts, valuable mineral deposits and verdant savannahs for cattle glazing have bioughl the Patiamau and American planters into the country. Tl; I'oivigners took possession on the excuse that a rich country was being wasted on savages. The San Hlas Indians killed Mime of the interlopers on the excuse that it was theii country to do with as they chose. Police from the Panama Canal Zone and a I'nited States cruiser are now at the scene of the massacre. The outcome will le that the natives will transplant their new republic into the unexplored interior and the ramheis will remain in possessions of their timber, mines and pastures.
