FOREST AREA CUT Land of No Timber Value Dropped From National Reserve According to an announcement made by the Forest Service, President Wilson has signed an executive order, making an elimination of 143,686 acres, a small part of which is pat ented or' private land, from the Paul ina and Fremont National Eprests in central Oregon. The area eliminated from the Fre mont Forest, comprising 30,014 acres, a small part of which is patented land, lies south of the town of Silver Lake and both east and west of Silver Lake itself. The lands are rolling and rocky, and covered with a scat tered stand of juniper, a tree of little timber value. , The lands comprising the Paulina elimination, 113,672 acres in extent, a small part of which is private land; lie east of the Walker Range of mountains and mostly between the range and the Bend-Silver Lake stage road. These lands are covered with a scrubby stand of lodgepole pine, which is not of much value for tim ber. The lands included in this elimi nation are reported to be of low ag ricultural value, as well as of low timber value. The soil is pumice for mation. CHERRYVILLE Old Sol, the hay-maker, is on deck! Everybody in the hay fields and the weather just right. Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark! The Campers are coming to town. Some in rags; some with jags! And some with a mighty ' short gown. The Governor says the railroad land "ought to be sold at a reason able valuation." The supreme court of the U. S. has ruled that it must be sold at $2.50 an acre and no more. The late U. S. Senator, J. P. Dolli ver, of Iowa, once said of McKinley that he was an amiable gentleman surrounded by men who knew exact ly what they wanted. The same can be said of our governor. Fred Beechal, of Bnghtwood, was born and raised in Canada and says he was personally acquainted with several members of the "Princess Pats," a crack regiment that was nearly wipe out at the battle of the Ypres in Belgium. He says the 24th Montreal regiment, mostly French Kanucks, were entirely cleaned out, as not a single member answered to roll-call, being killed, wounded or captured. One thing will come out of this awful welter of blood .and car nage and that is the complete down fall of kingcraft, pristcraft and all such trumpery nonsence and high time, too. Eternal justice travels slow, but it is mighty sure. Mrs. Cahill, who lives with her husband and family at the the dam, where her husband has charge of the works, is a Burbank and cousin to the great plant wizard, Luther Bur bank. Mrs. Cahill has the family characteristic, a great love of flow ers and her home is a perfect bower of beauty. The lady, in company with the Burbank family line from which she sprang, are about to fall heir to a big estate in Pittsburgh, Pa. It appears that a former an cestor had a farm in the suburbs of the smoky city, which he leased to Baldwin Locomotive Mills for fifty years. The lease has expired and the company now want to buy it and already have offered $8,000,000. Misfortunes, they say never come singly, so the same rule will probab ly apply to good fortune as has hap pened to a neighborhood across from this place. No sooner had Mrs. Ca hill heard of the good fortune com ing to the Burbank family than Mrs. Vanderhoof received a letter from Topeka, Kans., that a brother quite wealthy, had recently died there, leaving her his sole heir. Tracy Vanderhoof is already building a garage for a big Overland auto.. Who will be the next lucky person or per sons? The State of Oklahoma recently passed a law loaning state funds to farmers on real estate or 20-years' time at 8 percent, four percent of which amount is interest and ' the rest applied on the principal so that by the time the time has expired both principal and interest were wip ed out. This progressive sfcite has ready a monstrous ( ? ) law on the tatute books requiring banks to give a guarantee for deposits. Wsan't that awful, Mabel? When this law was first proposed Teddy sent Taft down there to speak against it. But my! Oh my! the foolish (?) voters wouldn't listen to him.

The injurious habit of earth eating is formed almost from the hour of their birth, and moth ers, to quiet a squalling child, will give it a lump of clay pulled from the wall of their hut. As the children grow up the longing increases, and to gratify the yearning they will barter their very souls for n lump of white clay, besido which delicacy spirits and to bacco are reckoned of no account This vice is, iii the long run, fatal, pro ducing dropsy in the young and dysen tery In the middle aged. Those thor oughly in Its grip are judged worthless as servants. Pearson's. He Lived as a Woman. John, alias Elizabeth Russell, died nt Streatham in April, 1772, at the nge of 104. Early In life Itussell associated himself with the gypsies and went wandering over the continent. Re turning to England, dressed as a wo man, he sot up at Streatham as a fe male doctor and fortune teller, and among other things was "an excellent sempstress and celebrated for making a good shirt." Among his acquaint ances was Dr. Johnson, who, finding the supposed woman shrewd and sen sible, was fond of conversing with "her." Itussell died suddenly, when his sex was discovered, "to the extreme amazement of the neighborhood." London Spectator. French Military Law. Every Frenchman not declared unlit for military service must ou reaching the lige of twenty serve three years in the active army, eleven years in the re serve of the active uruiy (two trainings of one month each), six years in the territorial nriny (one training of two weeks) and six years in the reserve of the territorial army Part of the con scripts, draw u by lot and the number of which Is llxed every year by the minister of war, pass Into the reserve after one year of active service, If (hoy can rend and write, or after two years if illiterate. Those who are not able to bear arms or belong to the active army for a period loss than three years have to pay a military tax of li francs ($1.15). FALSE HAPPINESS. False happiness is like false money. It may possibly pass for a time 83 well as the true and may serv some ordinary occasions, but when it is brought to the touch we find the lightness and alloy and feel the loss. Speed of Waterfowl. Waterfowl have great powers of flight. The canvasback duck covers from 130 to 160 feet a second. The blue winged teal and the green winged teal, the blueblll and the redheads are only a little slower. Mallards, pintails, wood ducks, black ducks and others can easily fly faster than a mile a mln ute. EVea such large birds as cranes, swans, pelicans and geese can fly at a speed of more than 100 feet a second. The speed of waterfowl has often been measured with great accuracy. Two men take positions on a duck pass a measured distance apart. The first man carries a stop watch and a gun, the second a gun only. As the fowl pass the first blind the timer shoots In order to frighten the birds into full speed and starts his watch. As the ducks pass the second blind the man there fires a shot, and the timer stops his watch. The usual length of the course is a quarter of a mile, although a mile "track" is sometimes used. Youth's Companion. A Lasting Window Polish. There Is an art in washing windows, and If they are properly polished the operation need not be repeated for a long time. ,A really good polish will survive several rainstorms and will only require the dust to be removed occasionally with a dry doth. The In side of the windows should be washed with tepid water, without soap or pow der of any kind, rubbed dry with cha mois and polished with cheesecloth. A solution for cleaning the outside should be made from one ounce of pulverized whiting, one ounce of grain alcohol, one of liquid ammonia and a pint of water. Spray the window with clear water to remove surface dirt, and ap ply the solution with a soft cloth. Let this dry on. Afterward polish with cheesecloth or tissue paper. If the glass has been badly scratched a filling may be applied. This consists of an ounce of white wax dissolved In tur pentine. It should be applied before the polishing, Washington Star. Questions. There are. many different kinds of questions, but, roughly speaking, they all may be Included in the following three divisions; first,.those which can be answered; second, those which may be answered; third, those which should not be answered. Illustrating the first division are those questions which oth ers never ask of you and those which you never care to hear others answer; the second includes questions which are pointed, private, public, perplexing and political; in fact, any questions which simpletons assert cannot be an swered; the third division, questions which should not be answered, includes what? Well, that is a question which should not be asked. Some people ask questions because they wish to know more; some ask them because they desire to show what they already know, and some ask them because they jvnnt to show what others do not know. Life. A Matter of Temperature. Hospitality Is a good deal a matter of latitude, I suspect. The shade of a palm tree serves an African for a hut His dwelling ls'all door and no walls. Everybody can come in. To make a morning call on an Eskimo acquaint ance one must creep through a long tunnel. Ills house Is all walls and no door except such a one as an apple with a worm hole has. One might very probably trace a regular grada tion between these two extremes. In cities where the evenings are generally hot the people have porches nt their doors, where they sit; and this is, of course, a provocative to the interchange of civilities. A good, deal which In colder climates is ascribed to mean dis positions belongs really to mean tem perature. Holmes. , Soap Substitutes In Japan. Soap is a comparatively recent impor tation into Japan. However, what the Japanese lacked in substance for loosening the dirt they made up in "el bow grease." Most often they used a powder or flour, among the most com ufon cleansers being the bean, rice and bran. The women of old Japan used a kind of seaweed for shampooing the hair. They gutjiered It from the rocks and dissolved it In warm water. Further Information Wanted. "Did you tell that man at the door that I was not at home?" "Yes, ma'am." "What did ho say?" "He asked mo wheu you would be." "And what did you say then?" "I told him to wait and I'd come up and ask yon." Detroit Free Press. Curbing the Kickers. "Do you think pretty girls get along better in business?" "I find one useful at the complaint desk, anyhow," replied the merchant "A pair of tine eyes will go a long ways toward making a man think that his complaint was badly founded." Louisville Courier-Journal. Modesty. He Why are you always reminding me that you might have ninrried some one else? She 1 don't recall that ear ly error of Judgment so much ou your account as on my own. I want to preserve In myself a proper intellectual humility. Richmond Times-DIspntch. A Fair Return. Grocer Your bill's up to ?20, Hauk. Hank Jones Well, here's a dollar. Grocer What! Only a dollar? Hank Only a dollar! And alu't that 5 per cent on your Investment? Puck. The most common secret of w'ant of success in life is a tendency to let things drift. Printing THE FASHIONS New York, July 21, 1915. Many novelties in . sports clothes have been introduced in the past yfew weeks. With the coming of warm weatner, tne minus ot Dotn young and old naturally turn to the great out-of-doors, and Fashion is not slow to' take up the cue of the golf bal atul tennis racket. Stores have caught the spirit, and sweaters and other sports paraphernalia have taken up their stand. It would seem each store is striving to outdo its neighbor in featuring something dis tinctly new and surprising in the way of sports apparel. A Trousered Costume for Tennis One house offers a novelty tennis costume with trousers. Already a number of these have been sold and the suit bids fair to be one of the fads of the summer. The blouse is cut in one, with the trousers like hte body portion of a bathing suit, with the bloomers longer and left free. The skirt is attached to a wide belt and buttons on separate. The ad vantage of the suit is obvious. With the trousers made of the same ma terial as the skirt, they are almost in visible when the- skirt blows out in the wind, and aside from this fact, they give a freedom of action .which is impossible with petticoats wrap ping around the feet. One woman said she was buying the dress to wear around the house. It is easy to understand the comfort of such a costume, especially for house-cleaning times, when climbing step-lad ders and like occupations are the or- ( J McCilt, f ,1 ! llll IP !l Ml I 3iiir y hi ,f, J u 1 1 ' j r i 1 Iff jfajfjC-V SfiM Ui,!i:ni'iiii.i.lhAiiuiiivHiiuiiiiuiiiiiii You Can Do Store Opens 8:30 A.

Another woman, who is outfitting girls for camp-life, has ordered the costume for every mem ber of the party. She explained that when they were around the camp she intended letting, them wear the trous ers like overalls, without the skirts Bright wall-paper cretonnes, also Oriental black-and-white patterns are used for these dresses, with collar and cuffs of "white Swiss or organdy. In the less expensive models, linen and chambray are substituted. It is really surpi-ising hpw charming the effect is in these materials with a touch of white in the collar and cuffs, Calico Follows the Craze of Cretonne In many instances, calico takes the place of the cretonnes, which have been so extensively favored for out ing apparel. The very oldest of the old-time patterns are revived. The quaint, figured reds our great-great-grandmothers wore, the bright daffo dil yellows, the crisp blues are all there, as light in weight and as cool as ever. These qualities in the cali co are an advantage over the cre tonnes. In fact, some of the pret tiest of the cretonne patterns have been duplicated in the calico that the effect may be gained without the weight. One of the old-time reds is made up in a middy style for a tennis cos tume. What a contrast the frock will make among the white dresses! A specialty shop is showing a dainty afternoon dress of yellow in peplum style, with a parasol to match; and there is an old blue crinoline frock with waist gathered below a yoke, skirt full and white crochet ball-buttons for trimmine. Simple as these dresses sound, they are not what you would call in expensive, unless, perchance, you make them yourself. They are few and far between, exclusive in the true sense of the word. At the preten sious homes up the Hudson, at the Casino at Newport these are the places where the calicoes are found. Smocked Sports Coats , The woman to whom the unusual appeals will welcome these latest novelties. They offer a relief from the ordinary cut-and-dried sweater; are far more becoming to the average woman, smarter and more swagger than their predecessors. A light weight silk Jersey material is used in the making. This comes in all the brilliant shades, the emerald greens, the popular rose shades, the soldat blues, and in black-and-white checker board and diamond checks. Hand smocking, in effectively blended color ings, adds a decidedly new touch at the wrist and below the yoke at the shoulder. There were some charming new models shown on the Avenue the other day, quite eclipsing the Cre tonne coats, the blazer-striped flan nels and the beach coats of tan towel ing. One was a soldat blue, bordered in old gold at the front,' with cuffs and collar to match; with the smock ing done in the same shade of wool. One of rose-red had a Grecian bor der in blue at the lower edge and was smocked in dark blue, while a brilliant green was combined with white. To all outward appearances, they are the garden smocks, a trifle shorter and belted it is true; but, nevertheless, with the same quaint air that goes so charmingly with the cretonnes, calicoes and novelty print ed pique skirts. - Better for Less on The VALU ACE - THE BEST IN QUALITY LACE VALUES UP TO 50c- 4 QA Special at, the yard I UC 12-18 and 27-inch Shadow and Oriental Edges and Flouneings ; also allover laces in rich designs they come ' in white, cream and ecru and in values to 4 f 50c yard.

It was here that the fad originated; these blouses are a cross between a waist and a sweater. They are cut on the lines of the regulation sailor and are made of soft Italian silk. This silk has a high sheen and is somewhat similar in appearance to light-weight silk Jersey material. The blouses are about the length of a middy, made with coat closing at the front and a loose belt or straight sash of the ma terial. They can be worn inside or outside of the skirt, according to fancy, and are finding favor for riding, tennis, golf and all outdoor sports of the summer. Emerald green is a popular shade. There are also awning stripes, checks and pas tel shades shown. Rodier's Barred Piques Rodier, the French manufacturer of fabrics, has gone in strong this season for novelty piques. One of the prettiest is a barred effect in bright canary yellow on white, wide wale pique. He has also introduced a trading-stamp design printed in queer green checks, which call to mind the stickers of the stamp-book. These materials the American manu facturers are using for sports coats. They fit in well with other fabric fads of the season, giving a sort of futuristic air to the fashions. The designs in which they are made are usually plain, save for an odd-shaped pocket or lap-closing at the front. First Showing of Felts Already the felt hat is strong in favor for sports wear. The newest models have wide brims and medium high crowns, usually' with the brim and ciown in contrasting color. Soa Courier and the Western Stock Journal $1.50 per year.
