Wlngfleld, lirg Molalla, the garden spot of the a well known resident of Russellville, west. Mr. Wlngfield's address is Box for his place,, which is counted among PARMER'S Oats are Made to Pay. For the first time in the history of agriculture growing oats Is to be made profitable and this in face of the fact that the oats crop in the United States in the past eight years have been sufficient to pay the Interest and non- Interest bearing debts of the nation twice over. The average American partaking of his matutinal porrage has never real ized that the American farmer has raised the oats which forms the bulk of the breakfast foods at a financial loss. But such has been the case, Last year Iowa planted 4,200,000 acres to oats and reaped a crop of 108,900, 000 bushels of an aggregate farm val ue of $41,381,; while Illinois raised 101,675,000 bushels of an aggregate farm value of $41,687,000. These im mense totals would seem to indicate profit. Give one crop of Iowa and Illinois to a railroad president and he could add 2,686 sleeping cars or 4,632 day coaches to the rolling stock of his "railroad. Or give to Uncle Sam the $334,568,000 secured from the sale of oats raised on the 32,000,000 acres planted to that grain throughout all the United States and he could add to his naval strenght 125 battleships of the size and armament of the Illnios so that no other nation on the globe would have even a look In when it came to war. Take the money earned by the nation's oats crop for the past eight years and the American farmer could lay on the table a dollar for every dollar every railroad president In America,- Africa, Asia and Aus tralia could lay down for every re ceipt from every source of revenue. But the big things do not tell the tale. Twenty six farmers In the oats belt, interrogated as to the cost of raising oats, reported the average ex pense per acre as follows: Three bushels of seed $1.58 Preparing the ground 1.45 Harvesting J.Z2 Stacking - 50 Threshing 1.20 Rent and repairs 4.19 Total $10.14 Taking Iowa's yield in 1908 and the average price of oats, an acre's crop brings the farmer $9.55, leaving a loss for each acre of fifty-nine cents. On the -32,000,000 acres planted to the fraln in the whole country the total loss would be 18,880,000 From "Mak In Oats Self-Supporting," in June Technical World Magazine. Modern "Antique" Furniture Dealers' Methods Revealed. The sale of "modern" antique furni ture is pushed by two methods, one of which is honest and aboveboard and while the other is a highly developed system of vlctmizlng the rich, in which not only furniture dealers but seemingly sleepy country dwellers have their allotted parts to play. The June number of Popular Mechanics contains an interesting illustrated ar ticle explaining the. wily schemes of curio dealers; how farm houses are supplied with fake antiques Just prior to the summer boarder rush, and how easily the summer boarder is taken in. Many times really valuable pieces are removed from country places by dealers for repairs, and instead of re turning the original, he brings back an imitation which passes off for the same.

The act of the Sixteenth Congress known as the Mondell law of March 3, 1909, gives to the agricultural entry man, on land, later classified as coal land, the privilege of electing to take the surface rights, the coal rights re maining in the government for fur ther and seperate disposition. The General Land Office already reports that 90 percent of the Colorado entry- men on lands believed to be under lain with coal will choose surface rights, thus reserving to the United States the coal rights. This is sig nificant of the value of the new law. which followed lines laid down by Secretary of the Interior Balllnger in 1907, while he was .Commissioner of the General Land Office. If the entry man chooses to contest, the issue then becomes one of the relative worth of the land for agriculture or for coal mining. To Keep Light Dreases Clean, Magnesia may be obtained either in powder or In square cakes, and it' Is very effective in claenlng laces and delicate fabrics. Sift or rub it on on j the parts to be cleaned, and lay them away In a box or drawer where they : will be undisturbed for a day or so, 1 and then shake them out. It is a 1 ery good plan to apply the magnesia In this way when putting away party resses that have become slightly soil-' ed. The magnesia absorbs the dust, ' and when you take the dresses out ' to wear them the next time, tey will ' be fresh and dainty. The magnesia is also effective, when applied in the same way, for removing grease-spots. Woman's Home Companion. ' . . . ." . . - ' " Park Farm. 1 27, Molalla, Oregon, R. F. D. 1. CORNER Commission's Report Concerning Roads.' The report and recommendations of the Country Life Commission are high ly valuable, as its careful Investiga tion, including personal visits to all Bectlonsof the country, and correspon dence with 550,000 residents of the country districts as to the most pres sing needs of the farmers for the im provement of their condition, shows that, public sentiment is unanimous in favor of better roads as a practical means of supplying existing deficien cies in country life. In his message to congress accom panying the commission's report the president summarizes the conclusions arrived at by the commission, and states that as a result of Its investi gations the following three general and immediate needs of the country life statd out: "First, effective co-operation among farmers, to put them on a level with the organized interests with which they do busiuess. "Second, a kind of schools In the country, which will teach the chil dren as much outdoors as Indoors and perhaps more, so that they will pre pare for country life, and not as pres ent, mainly for life in town. "Third, better communication, in cluding good roads and a parcels post, which the country people are every where, and rightly demanding." The satisfaction of the first two of these needs will be greatly facilitated by the adoption ota system of improv ed roads extending through all farm ing sections of the country. Bad roads are the chief obstacle to co-operation among the farmers, and Improved roads will make co-operation possible. The need for a new kind of coun try schools cannot be met so long as our dirt roads, which at certain sea sons are almost impassable, prevent the attendance ,ot the farmer's chil dren at centralized schools where they could have all the advantages of a graded school in connection with a high school. Central schools of this kind are now being established in some sections of the country, where good roads permit of the ' pupils of an entire township being transported to them daily from their homes, and with th? extension of improved roads this school system would become gen eral. It can thus be seen that of the three reforms which in the opinion of the president have been shown to be urgently deslreable, road improve ment is the most important, as it would aid in making others practi cable. That highway improvement is the most important economic reform has long been urged by the farmers, who, through their principal organization, the National Grange, have been per sistently agitating for the adoption of a policy of Federal aid for good road construction' and maintenance. The declaration by the Country Life Com mission that the establishment of a fully servlcable highway system is a matter of national concern, absolutely essential to our internal development, should serve, to hasten the enactment of legislation providing for the cre ation of National Highways Commis sion, and making liberal appropria tions for carrying on Its work. "Keeping the Boy on the Farm' If you want to Interest the boy on the farmr give him something that wiH be his very own, and in which he will take an interest. Let him have a few hens and a rooster, or a pig, or a calf, and be honest with him in your dealings. Let the stock be his own, and if he has anything to sell, pay him, as you would any one else, or see that he Is paid for it. Commoner.

OREGON STATE NEWS Interesting Happenings From All Parts of the State. Tries to Blackmail Sulem Hanker.

Skeletons ltevcal Gold. Boring Two skeletons, supposed to be the remains of pioneer English prospectors, were found last week in an old mine tunnel situated in the Cascade forest reserve, at a point about 60 miles from Boring. Near the skeletons were a shovel, pickax, frying pan and two rock drills. The finding of the bones led to the dis covery of the existence of a rich vein of gold and silver ore. Postal Till Is Robbed. Rosebtirg Unknown robbers en tered the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany's office In this city Saturday evening, appropriating between $60 and $65 belonging to the Postal Tel egraph & Cable Company.

Do you realize that here In Oregon City at your very fet, Is a rare treat, a beautiful sight or those who love to observe and study the habits of tbe lower order of creation. The Salmon, king of the fish family, plump, rest less and gamey is following the promptings of the Instincts wlthin him and rushing for the headwaters, obeying the call of nature, threading his way through hundreds of nets, around and over and through count less obstaeles, not the least of which Is our beautiful Willamette Falls where the state provides a "fish lad der," which Is a succession of pools each a few feet higher until the top of the falls is reached. As you clamber over the great seamy rocks toward the ladder be sure you have yourself well in hand and do not follow your first Impulse of jumping In after the first monster you see lying In the pool below the foamy fall, resting after his efforts to reach the summit, else the eagle eye of the fish warden might spy you out . and you might have to pay for impulses with good hard dollars in the ration of "an hundred fold." The whole Salmon family seem to be there In the pool, large and small, many with bruised heads and sorry looking snouts, waiting for the return of strength and spirit for another effort to mount the thundering falls Just ahead. Looking up you see a broad backed beauty leave the water like a flash five to ten feet back from the fall, but it seems Salmon are made much like men, many of them poor calcula tors, and this beautiful fish has not figured his angle correctly, strikes the foam about midway and goes wriggling back down to disappoint ment and defeat. Soon up comes another with a mighty rush undlscouraged by the failure of his predecessor but his aim is also untrue as he shoots side wise across the fall and hardly touch ing the foam flounders back into the pool to ponder over life's failures. Up jumps another plump, shining monster with the speed of lightning and the spirit of a conqueror as he makes a graceful curve, but, alas! his sight is poor or he has not studied his fish lessons properly, and your sympathies are aroused as he strikes the rocks with a thud and falls back bruised and helpless among his dis appointed mates. On and on goes this annual struggle some making what appears to be mis erable failures, others almost reach ing the coveted heights, and falling back only to rest awhile and bravely try again, still many others with a seemingly cool calculation leave the water at just the right Bpot, give just the proper curve to their bodies and striking the fall close to the - top struggle hard for a second or two against the curent then go swimming joyfully away Into the clear, cool, lim pid waters of our beautiful Willam ette above the Falls.
