Friendship
Friendship means that "No man
can live alone." It Is human nature's
part of that misunderstood "relativ
ity." Without it human llfo decays
comes to an untimely end; Its

selves first, reciprocating what we re
ceive from others.
Some years ago I knew a lovely
friend. With ttll who met him,
simultaneous reciprocation seemed to
exist.
To all that knew hlnj he
was a "lovable old man,
"Uncle" Dan Griffin was an old
prospector. Up in tho dranlto,,courii
try of Montana, since his wifo. died
twontv vorirs before, ho lived
rough but neat log cabin on a'claimj.
Everyday 'he dug 'Jmt;JuW sHirch,
rock, which,' in a mortar he poUrided
out the gold to buy tho ivecessary
needs of his humble life. His own
needs were not many. His personal
appearance as well as his abode were
clean and tidy. Common overalls
were his only garb, with a change
from his "diggln' clothes" tot, the
cloan "Boss of the Roads" and flan
nel shirt. A buckskin string held a
watch, silver case with, a golden ,lpco
motive engraved thereon in a small
pocket he had sewed on himself. He
had a long gray beard and moustache
immaculately clean.
"Uncle" Dan had two sons .ui Cali
fornia. "Not very rich, but doing
quite well," he said. "I occasionally
send them a little bottle of tills gold"
ho continued, "but sure, twice every
year on their birthdays and Christ
mas." No, I don't wont to sell my
littlo claim. Once I was offered 850,
000.00 for It. Don't know what I
would do with so much money. Prob
ably do like tho rest, go to town and
lot tho sharks have It land in the
poor house or commit suicide.
No, all I want Is what I got here.
Prospected nigh on twenty years be
fore I found this. Now it Is mine. If
I let It go the chances are I'd never
find another. I am still prospecting
in the hills yonder. Not for the gold
to buy me luxuries and all that goes
with it nowadays. I lovo prospecting.
Just so with my digging here. I want
ed gold lor to make a fair living
ouy bacon for myself and tho kids
when they need help. Digging is my
greatest delight in life. The samo
gold dug by others would never fill
tlio Joy of digging for myself. So I
keep my little claim."'
Uncle" Dan Griffin. 88 years
young, still up ihero in the Granites,
has never turned a man away from
his cabin door. I know of two fam
ilies who held their homesteads with
tho gold that ho gave them. I know
a storeman whom he pulled out of
bankruptcy with a littlo bottle oi
his gold. I know ono .woman that he
picked up drunk from the streets and
with his gold helped to mako her a
yood woman and a wife for a hiend
homesteader in the Gallatin valley.
I know a young postmaster whom he
extricated from the peultentlary when
nis gold balanced the deficit hi the
post office. That is why he is a
friend and "lovable old man."
Tills is what ho said on "Friend

friendship. Wanting friendship Is like
a traveler wanting a drink of water.
He conies to a dry gulch and he'll not
tarry there long. Nor will he dig a

friendly stream awaits him over
the hill yonder. He knows that he
must go there first to get a drink.
You must make friendly efforts for
to get friendship."

Production
Small Seeds
Is Important
OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Cor-
vallis (Special) Small seed produc
tion is looming even more important
for Oregon farmers and .despite -tho
present lowered prices constitutes an
annual industry of more than one
and a half million dollars, according
to specialists here who discussed tho
seed business at the regional bank
ers' agricultural short course held on
the campus.
Oregon holds almost a monopoly in
the seed business of many crops
through being the only location in
the United States where climate and
soil combine to produce the most at

to buyersi
Much of tho fornge crop seed pro
duced lh Oregon goes to the southern
states, Hori-y Schoth, federal agrono
mist at the Oregon experiment sta
tion pointed out. This is an unusual
condition where one part of the
country looks to the section most
distant from it for its seed supply,
but relatively high returns per pound
moke such long shipment possible.
Market prospects this year for Aus
trian winter pea seed are good and
moro hairy vetch seed could well be
grown, Schoth brought out. The
United States Is still Importing more
than 2.000.000 pounds of the latter
annually, English rye grass gives
much more promise than Italian rye
grass, the market for the latter be
ing bad.
E. R. Jackman, extension specialist.
said Oregon could easily dispose of
much more seed of orchard gross, tall
oat grass, Engtlsh rye grass, and
chewing fescue. Rape seed is also im
portedtat the rate of 5.000,000 pounds
a year and it apparently does well in
this region.
Bent gross seed Is now being pro
duced up to the limit of market de
mand under present conditions, and
expansion in it might well be dis
couraged, O. R, Hyslop. head of farm
crops, told the bankers. Red clover
constitutes about a third of Oregon's

high in 'ririce. Prices ore reported to
range upwards of $15 in the stack.
Our. Cove correspondent reports that
hay, baled and bought outside the
Covo territory is selling at $18 a ton,
and Is becoming more scarce as the
season advances. S, E, Miller Is said
to have fed 2100 tons of hay during
the past winter. Practically all the
hay grown in this section is reported
to have been bought up.

l . . GEKMICIDKS
The Ideal germicide would destroy
bacteria but;leave human' tissue un
harmed. Unfortunately we have no
Ideal germicide. " . f 1
Different antiseptics and germicides
vary In their effectiveness under dif
ferent circumstances.
The mere statement that a certain
germicide will kill so many millions
of germs within a given time iswlth-
out significance unless the circum-
Bw.ivE. ouiiuuuuiug Llie lSt UTC aiSO
described.
Thus bichloride of mercury In the
dilution of one part ot the germicide
to a thousand parts of water will kill
typhoid bacilli in two and one-half
minutes, but If the bacilli are in as
little as 2 to 8 per cent of fecal mat
ter the efficiency of the bichloride is
reduced by 90 per cent. '
uermiciaes ana antiseptics may
act in a variety of ways, though thev
are mi cnectlve by alterln and de
stroylng 1 the protoplasm of mlcro-
organisms.
Heat and light, the latter In the
form of sunlight or ultra violet light,
destroy bacteria; Oxidizing agents
sue n as nyarogen peroxide; potassium
permanganate, chlorine, bromine and
iodine destroy bacteria chemically.
Acids, alkali, alcohol, phenol and
carbolic acid also destroy bacteria.
Fortunately tho protoplasm of bac
teria in many cases Is more readily
injured than is the protoplasm of
body cells. Therefore a number of
the foregoing germicides can boused
effectively in diluted forms.
A dab of iodine may dd for a small
cut. However, it cannot be used very
well where large areas of skin have
been denuded. ' ,

rangements so carefully planned for
his good. For she is over-earnest,
tense, bent upon carrying through
the right program at all costs.
She forgets that there Is a personal
equation between herself and her
child. She always Is trying to do the
things to him and for him without
regard for the fact that he has a
will of his own, and that he has pref
erences, prejudices and a very human
satisfaction in discovering that mere
resistance on his port is sufficient to
make mother go around in circles.
The best Informed mother who is
Anxious, tense and dominating lh her
effort to put over an excellent rouf
tine probably will have less good re
sults In terms of health and happi
ness than a mother who has only a
reasonable share of common sense
but who Is serene in mind, ' sure of
herself, and so untroubled that she
can be smiling, playful and affection
ate while attending to the most vital
matters. . 1
Such a mother undoubtedly would
do a better Job If she took tht
trouble to learn about it. But the
well informed woman might . well
profit by observing her manner.'
