If the farmers of Polk county, would do their bus! news on business principles, hard times would be a thing of the past. If they would sell their grain, wool, hops, fruit and other produce for what It la worth, at least enough of It for what they hon estly owe and what tbey promised to pay after harvest, there Would be plenty of money In circulation. The way It Is now, tbey . sell 60 or 100 bushels of wheat now, the same amount la dribbled away, lu a week or so, and all at once the mouey and wheat Is gone with out benefitting any one, the faimer him self Included It Is true wheat la low mid the farmer can hardly raise it at fie price and makeanythlng, or hardly save himself, but what of that. This Is au exceptloually hard year, where evorpliody looses; and the far mer cannot expect to be exempt, al though the burden and lors fulls lighter iu him thau any other business. Let me explain. There is not s bank lu the State of Oregon that has not lost mon ey this year. Bonk stock worth laat year from 1160 to (200 per share; you gut to day for 1100 and some for less. I don't belelve there Is a merchant either wholesale are retail who Is worth th money he was lust year, aside from the 100 thut busted. Now what docs tbe runner lose? Take the average throughout Polk Co. and the farmer mines say 12()d bushels for each furm. il think this is a fair average) now on this wheat he loses at the present . market (40 cents) Just about 4 cents per bushel or suy 860., or In short evry farmer la Oregon loses 850 on his whole year work Now Is It fair for tbe farmers for the sake of saving 60 cents to force th retail merohant Into bankruptcy, the wholesale merohant to assign and the bank to suspend, Just to gamble that he will make up his 60 cents on the raise of the prloe of grain, Instead of acting the honest or at least like a business man, stand his share of loss and sell enough of his grain to pay his honest debts and not foroe to the wall a whole community. After the farmer has redeemed bis promise to pay "after harvest", and If ha then, baa auythlng left ha haa perfect right to speculate on It.

When the young man looked up at tbe old lady, who jostled against him with her big bundles and tbe basket ("which she carried upon her lap, be gave a rorrpreased groan, much to the amusement of hi companion!. Then the young man winked and gave a sidelong glance, aa much aa to aay i "Just you watch met Well have aome fun." The old lady looked nnoonoerned and waa totally unconscious of the mirth the waa about to provoke. "Bather cold day," ventured the young man in a suave voice. "Yea, it is right sharp answered tbe woman, "almost cold enough to freeze these egg I have got in here." What are you doing with tba eggur asked the young man, with friendly interest. J "On, Pre been saving them up this good while, and I intend to take them into town to sell," and tbe old lady, who waa inclined to be social, looked ploaeed at the Interest evinced by the young man. "Now," began the youth aa be cast a sidelong look at bis companions. Tl you were out in Utah, where I came from, you could get your own price for the eggs. It is so warm there, you know, that in summer nearly all the bens die off. In fact," he continued, looking straight into his companion's eyes, "when a ben does set, which is a rare occurrence out there, the eggs have to be sponged off with cold water every day to keep them from getting too warm." . "Waal, do toll!" remarked tiie wo man, "if 1 ever heard anything to beat that) Ain't it queer how things is out weatl Now, there's my son John. He's bound to go out there and git rich, but hell never got my consent if it's so hot as all that I've heerd toll a good deal about that air country, but I never heerd afore that it was too hot to set eggs." , ;, "It's worse than that in Nevada," continued the youth, pleased with, the effect of his story. Here be looked around at his friends, who appreciated all that was going on. " Worse P exclaimed the woman In amazement "If it's hot enough to kill bona, then that's all I want to know. I dont want anything hotter." "Yea," was the answer. "In Ne vada we have to feed hens cracked ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs." This was too much for the old woman. Even her credulity could not stand this. She gave the youth one long, scrutinizing glance, then' gathered up her numerous bundles, nor basket of eggs and her umbrella, and trudged over to another seat She rode on in an abstracted state for a quarter of an hour or more. Her face was a curious study. Its expression was one of mingled injury and thoughtfulneas. The conductor called "New Ha ven." The old lady got up, but when she reached the seat she had occupied a few minutes before she took hold of the youth's arm and sold, "See, here, young man, just explain how in that air torrid country you tell about they git the ice to feed them henat" New York Herald. - A Msw Rsla Cosspsllsr. Scientists say that the effect of a low temperature on a cloud of vapor will bo shown in the precipitation of rain. Acting on this knowledge, a European living In the tropical re gions of India has invented a novel rain producer. His apparatus con sists of a rocket, capable of rising to a height of a mile, containing a res ervoir of ether. In its descent a par achutolike attachment opens out, causing the apparatus to descend slowly. At the same time the ether la thrown out in a white spray. The absorption of heat by the ether is said to lower the temperature of the surrounding air sufficiently to con dense the vapor, and hence cause rain. This being true, a large number of rockets would probaldy bo required to cause a prolonged shower. Phila delpliia Record. , ."Osnts.l I'Si'mv,; -,, Packages are divide I lr Tlrs. Grun dy into three classes genteel, vulgar and nondescript. Genteel packages are such as can be earned through the streets by well dressed persons without causing the slightest desire to dodge around a corner or slip into the nearest store when well dressed friends are seen approaching. A book neatly dono up in brown paper and surrounded by a string of some tosthetiohue or a magazine wrapped in an untied cylinder are eminently genteel packages. One is naturally rather proud of them than otherwise.
