Ma said to the lady: "Your house is fine but your garden Is very small? "Yes," replied she, "it is small, but I will put my flowers in folding beds." Speaking of flowers, do you know why -the lily is the em blem of Easter? It's not so much on account of Its purity as to the fact that it can't be adulterated. You can't adulter ate Easter Sunday and you can't adulterate any of the pure foods that are sold in this start because they were made up pure and there's no room for any adulteration.

Former Oregon City Boy. Gordon B. Moores, captain of the university of Oregon football team last season, and All-Northwest end, has taken issue with Dr. David Starr Jordan's article In the Pacific month ly on football, in which the Stanford president urges the substitution of the Rugby, or English system, for the American style of game. Moores Is one of the best known football men on trie- coast. Moore starts after Dr. Jordan In the following strain and follows at length in support of the American game: "It may seem presumptuous for an undergraduate to engage In discus sion with the distinguished president of a great.universlty, but the Imperti nence of the act Is moderated to a certain degree when the latter's dis cussion descends to the rudiments of football. Therefore, it is but natural that President Jordan's attack on American football should receive voc iferous rebuttal from flayers and en thusiasts of the game." ir rnnrea is the son of C. B. M oores of Salem, who was a resident of nrpi?nn City a few years ago ana w as Register of the Land Office here. Cons nsiderable literary talent is snown hl areument as well as a thorough in acquaintance with the great game. . $ 5 TO THE REPUBLICAN S VOTERS: $ i S ?

CASTOR I A For Infant! and Children. The Kind Yea Hans Always Bought Bears the Signature of County Assessor Nelson Has Raised Corporation Assesments While In Office. County Assessor James F. Nelson, who is a candidate for re-election, is being commended on every hand for his splendid record while an incum bent of the. office. Every year he has made a boost in the assessed valua tion of the corporations and timber barons, who have property in Clack amas, until now for the first time, these people pay a very large snare of the taxes of the county. The total assessed valuation of the property of this county last year was $12,854,000, and of .this amount corporations were assessed to the extent of $4,277,180, as follows: Southern Paciflo $1,408,710 Weyerhauser Company . .. 230,000 Portland Gen. Electric Co.. 683,000 Willamette Pulp & Paper Co 360,050 Crown-Columbia P & P Co 130,000 Oregon Water Power & Ry 677,420 Oregon City Mfg. Co 105,000 Portland Flouring Mills Co 52,000 O. I. & S.

If you have a sheltered place, not only to set the hens but also to rear the young, March hatches will be pro fitable. Barrels laid on their sides under a shed or some outbuilding, make ideal nests at this time of the year. Do not make the common error of setting hens In the regular laying houses, and never be gilty of shut ting up a hen on the nest. The barrel method is far better and is a small lath is run in front of the nest, the hen can get off and on her eggs as she deems best. Some hens sit too closely to the nest, and others not close enough But It Is not In the province of man to know just how long biddy should re main on or off her eggs. Her Judg ment is best in such matters. It is not advisable at this time of year to place more than eleven eggs under a hen, as .those on the outer edge are apt to become chilled. Do not disturb her while she is hatching;, and leave the young in the nest for at least 24 hours. The youngsters need the warmth more than they do food. For the first two weeks it is best to keep the hen and her young in a large house or coop, so that they can exercise and at the same time be pro tected from the -weather. After that time they can be allowed outdoors during the the midle of nice days. The egg crop is increasing in bulk and decreasing in price. All pens should be mated now, If Intended for breeding purposes. Be sure the new male birds you are using for breeding Is no relative of the hens. You can not expect strong, rugged stock where there is a close relationship. If it is intended to purchase eggs for hatching this season, the order had better be placed now, so that there will be no disappointment in not get ting the eggs when wanted. For strong fertility, try alternating male birds in the pens. Have either two males for each pen, or three males for two pens, using only one male at a time in a pen, and changing about twice a "week. Eggs from two-year old hens are apt to hatch best at this time, and the chicks will be more thrifty than those from pullet eggs. As a rule the eggs from hens that did heavy laying during the winter will not be so fertile as eggs from hens that made but a fair showing. Officers of Royal Arcanum.
