OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1917

LORENE PARKER IS
ELECTED AS AGENT
Women homo demonstration agents
have been appointed by the Oregon
Agricultural college and the U. S. ae-
partmcnt of agriculture for seven
districts of Oregon, composed of 18
counties. As rapidly as funds be
come available new appointments will
be made to cover the entire state.
Miss Lorene Parker, of Oregon
City's high school faculty, has been
selected as agent for this district,
comprised of Marion and Clackamas
counties. She was born and reared
on an Oregon farm, and has first
hand knowledge of the house-wife's
problems. She is a graduate of
. home economics at O. A. C. and has
since graduation been a teacher of
domestic science at Oregon City. The
year following graduation she was
one of the two paid assistants main
tained at the' famous Panama Pacific
O. A. C. lunch room in the Oregon
building, having charge of purchas
ing supplies and planning menus.
She has also had considerable exper
ience in extension work.
The appointment of agents is au
thorized by the provision of the
food emergency legislation. It is de
signed to obtain leaders to assist in
the food conservation campaign that
is icounted on to create a patriotic de
sire to use the home-grown food and
leave as much of the staples as pos
sible for shipment to the nation and
its allies.
The work is financed entirely from
the funds appropriated to carry the
measure into effect, with the provis
ion that the districts served provide
suitable office room for the agent. In
counties maintaining agricultural
agents the two sets of agents will
occupy the same office. In other
counties the communities are expect
ed to aid in locating and to maintain
office headquarters.
The demonstration work of the
agents will be directed by the Oregon
Agricultural college extension ser
vice. He Felt Like Ninety'
Nothing will make a person feel
old quicker than disordered kidneys,
for when they are not working prop
erly the whole system is infected with
poisons that cause aches and pains in
all parts of the body. A. W. Moor
gan, Angola, La., writes: "Oh, I suf
fered with pain in my back. I am 43
years old, but I felt like a man 90
years old. Since I took Foley Kidney
Pills I feel like I did when I was 21."
They tone up and strengthen the kid
neys, and promptly relieve annoying

NEW RECTOR ARRIVES
Successor to Rev. T. J. Williams
Takes Charge of St. Paul's .
With their two daughters and three
sons, the Rev. and Mrs. C. H. L.
Chandler have arrived in Oregon City,
where the former will enter immed
iately upon his work as rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal church, from which
the Rev. T. J. Williams resigned some
time ago. Mr. Chandler will hold his
first service on Sunday. For several
years the new St. Paul's rector was
employed in the offices of the O. W.
R. & N. Co., in Portland and has an
acquaintanceship in the state. It was
while in Portland that he studied in a
preliminary way for the ministry.
Later ' he attended and graduated
from the Church Divinity School at
San Mateo, Cal., and was curate in a
church in that city. He comes to
Oregon City from San Louis Obispo,
Cal., where he was for several years
rector of the St. Stephen's church.
Several events are being planned for
the family as soon as it becomes set
tled, including an informal reception
to be tendered by the men of the par
rish. Cider a By-Product
Among the many influences of the
war that will affect farmers until
world peace again reigns will be the
unusual demand for large amounts of
what have in the past been consider
ed as by-products of various kinds.
One of these is cider and other fruit
juices for making vinegar and con
densed flavorings.
The great hosts of army and navy
men on the war fronts and aboard
fighting and transport vessels will
need plenty of seasoning and relish
materials to help give variety to the
canned and processed foods forming
so large a part of army and navy
fare. It is none too soon for fruit
growers to get ready to meet this de
mand by planning to make use of all
fruits unsuitable for marketing in
fresh, canned, or dried form, as cider
for fruit syrups and vinegar.
Heretofore, in every important
fruit-growing district, the quantity
of fruit suitable for cider-making
which has been allowed to decay, has
been enormous. Ofttimes the re
turns for cider when ready to mar-

ltr A LITTLE CHEW Of RICH S(Sl
A LITTLE CHEW Of
&'7JA TOBACCO THAN IN A BIG I W
THIS war is awakening men to the truth about a lot
of things besides Preparedness and chewing to
bacco is one of them. Soldiers are strong for W-B Cut
and the facts are right before you. These shreds are all
tobacco, no gummy sweetening rich tobacco more sap
in the leaf than in ordinary tobacco by a long shot.
That's why it's so satisfying and so economical a little
bit goes a long way.
Made ly WETMAN-BRUTON COMPANY, 1107 Broadway, New York Gtj
ket were hardly sufficient to cover the
expense account. But now the situ
ation has materially . chdnged, and
even' small quantities of unsalable
fruit worked up into good quality
cider with hand-power or small power
outfits will help to supply our own
fighting men and allies with appe
tizing variety, and will keep without
spoiling in any climate.
Cider-making machinery has been
perfected to a degree that now en
ables the making of a high-quality
product with a great saving of time
and labor, and whore the quantity of
fruit warrants the larger sized equip
ments the work can be almost entire
ly done by power machinery. .
Another important aid to fruit
growing, incident to cider-making, is
the opportunity to destroy myriads of
insect pests contained in unsalable
fruit. The worm-laden fruit can be
sorted out and fed to stock. Exchange.
FIRST QUOTA CALLED
Each County Will Send 3 on Mobili
zation Order
Orders for the immediate mobili
zation of the first 6 per cent of Ore
gon's draft quota to the national
army, to leave for American Lake
September 5, were issued to all coun
ty boards Tuesday night from the of
fice of Adjutant General White.
The call will summon but 38 men
in all, due to the alacrity with which
Oregon's youth enlisted and no coun
ty will furnish more than three men
to the first 5 per cent. The boards
were instructed that cooks were pre
eminently desired on the first levy and
that men of military experionce were
preferred.
The original orders, which were
countermanded last week, were for
the mobilization of 30 per cent Sep
tember 5. Owing to an anticipation
of congested traffic at that time,
orders were received for the mobili
zation of the lesser number. The sec
ond mobilization will call 40 per cent
of the quota on September 19, and
the third will assemble 40 per cent on
October 3. The remaining 15 per
cent will be called when practicable.
Routings for the first and second
calls are complete and the county
boards have been instructed to send
the men selected directly to American
Lake.
OUTING PARTY BACK
Editor Breaks a Rib and a Spring,
All in One Vacation Trip
A broken rib, an automobile spring
with the same complaint, and several
fine strings of fish were the tokens
which C. W. Robey, editor of the
Courier, brought back from his sum
mer vacation spent in the vicinity of
Mount Hood. Mr. and Mrs. Robey,
their little daughter, Maxine; Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Wilson and Miss Gladys
Robey of McMinnville, were the mem
bers of the outing party. In their ma
chines the party went to Clackamas
Lake and, finding things there less
pleasant than they had been pictur
ed, retured to tne vicinity of Govern
ment Camp and spent a week at fish
ing. Going to Clackamas Lake Mr.
Robey broke a spring on his automo-.
bile and improvised one from a sturdy
fir limb. In camp Mr. Robey collid
ed with another limb of the same de
gree of sturdiness, with the result
that he has a painfully fractured rib.
Photographic verification of the fish
stories brought back by Mr. Robey
and Mr. Wilson make the log of their
trip more interesting.
EIGHT ARE FINED
Judge Sievers Exacts Toll From
Many Arrested Speeders
The weekly cleanup of charges
against speeders in Justice of the
Peace John N. Sievers' court Mon
day brought $57.50 into the coffers
of the county after the judge had
listened to and fined eight men guilty
of fast driving. Carl Riser of Wil
lamette, paid $10 for fast driving, as
did H. J. Graves of this city. Graves
was riding a motorcycle. E. Dun
gey of this city also paid $10 for
speeding his motorcycle. Fines of $5
each were assessed against E. B.
Leonard of Portland, J. P. Erickson
of Clackamas, Joe Johansen of Port
land, and Gilbert Hansen of this city.
A. Neiss of Portland paid a fine of
$7.50.
Letters in Probate
Mary E. Lantz Tuesday morning
filed petition for letters of adminis
tration in the estate of her late hus
band, Milo F. Lantz, who was acci
dentally killed near Molalla on Aug
ust 16. The estate consists chiefly
of livestock, farm machinery and
crops, according to the petition. Mrs.
Lantz is the only beneficiary. Lantz
was killed when a large hay fork fell
upon him and one of the tines pierc
ed his heart.

SUMMER CARE OF SHEEP.
Flock Should Bo Watched For Disea
and Have Abundant Pasture.
The present world shortage of wool
and meat should bj an incentive to
give the flock of sheep extra care and
attention during the present year, says
the Pennsylvania State college. The
pusture should be arranged for the
greatest supply of feed. The lambs
that are to go to market in the fall
should produce the maximum amount
of fleece and meat nt the least expen
diture of money.
As soon as the weather is warm
enough the entire flock of sheep should
be dipped twice at an interval of two
weeks. Any of the standard disinfect
ants may be used for this purpose.
This treatment will rid the sheep of ex
ternal parasites.
The flock should have plenty of good
pasture during the entire summer.
The lambs should have a separate feed
ing place, where they cun be supplied
with a small amount of grain. When
the lambs are weaned they should be
placed on a clean pasture, where no
sheep have been pastured during the
season, or on a field seeded to some
forage crop. Clean pasture is neces
sary to avoid trouble with internal
parasites.
If the sheep show signs of becoming
sluggish : they should be treated for
stomach worms. The gasoline treat
ment is the simplest. Keep the sheep
off feed for twelve hours. Give each
lamb a dose of five ounces of cow's
milk, half a teaspoor.fiil of gasoline
and a tablespoon ful of raw linseed oil.
Double the dose for mature sheep.
The treatment should bo repeated three
consecutive days.
Save every lamb dropped. Make cer
tain that all have been docked. Cas
trate all male lambs thut are not to be
kept as rams for breeding. Save all
the good ewe lambs for breeders as
they will be in demand during the next
few years. Market all the surplus
lambs as soon as they are ready to be
marketed. Take care of the breeding
flock so that it will be in condition in
the fall for breeding. Keep a check on
the breeding to make certain that all
the ewes are bred.
CARE OF MILK CANS.
To Prevent Rusting They Should Be
Carefully Dried After Washing.
Cans should first be rinsed with cold
water, then scrubbed with hot water
and washing powder, then rinsed In
clean hot water and finally sterilized
with steam or rinsed with boiling hot
water, says Hoard's Dairyman. They
should then be inverted and allowed
to dry in a place free from dirt and in
the sunshine, if possible. It would be
very desirable also if there were some
method of drying out the cans with a
hot air blast, for it has been found
that leaving little of the wasli water
In the can is one of the most effective
means of seeding the milk with unde
sirable bacteria, as well as being an
excellent method of causing the can
to rust.
After a can has started to rust the
best method of procedure,, is to scour
off as much of the rust as possible. and
then follow the proper methods of
washing aud drying the can. It is un
derstood, of course, that the cans
should be protected from the weather
and not allowed to stand out of doors
or In damp, dark rooms. The same
method of control for this should be
followed as for caring for the other
tin dishes in the house.
Water For Hogs.
It Is important that u plentiful sup
ply of clenr water be kept before the
hogs at all times. Hogs that have the
range of a cornfield do not go to the
trough at the same time to drink, as
they do in dry lot feeding; consequently
the occasional watering, as frequently
practiced in dry lot feeding, will not
suffice for bogs feeding in t lie corn
field. More complete digestion takes
place aud more economical gains-result
when hogs receive all the water they
care to consume than when the supply
is limited and irregular.
Lime For Poultry.
If your poultry range is gravelly or
has gravelly areas the birds can pick
up enough lime for shell and bone
making, but if it Is clayey it Is well to
supply grit and pounded oyster shells
the year around. A peiind of coarsely
ground oyster shell is said to contain
enough lime for about seven dozen eggs.
Protect Horses From Flies.
Disinfecting the stables with coal
tar dips will go a long way toward pro
tecting the horses from flies. Clean
the stables every day In hot weather.

FREE PUBLICITY
One of the Ills that is a Thorn on
the Newspaper Bush
The circus press agent who used
to enter the editor's sanctum, and lay
on the desk a column notice of the
coming show with a pair of passes
with the statement that he might use
the article to help fill up the paper
may have passed away, but the ad
vertising agency that believes it is
entitled to $5.00 worth of free space
for every dollar it pays for display

advertising is still with us. Just why
any newspaper should be asked to ad
vertise without charge, any article
from which someone derives a profit
is hard to see, but there are few
newspapers that do not get a steady
flow of requests of this kind.
Barton and Crippen, publishers of
the Everting Wedge at Durand, Wis.,
express their views on this subject
very forcibly in a recent issue as fol
lows: "If a man were to go into a dry
goods store and say, 'I buy $40 or $50
worth of goods from you a year and I
think you should give me a pair of
shoes', it is hardly likely he would
get them. In fact the storekeeper
might think, and rightly too, that the
fellow who would make such a propo
sition a fit subject to send to Men
dota; if he were to go into a hardware
store and ask for a gift of a lawn
mower because he had been trading
there for the past year the chances
are that he would not get the lawn
mower unless he paid the price for it;
if he were to go into a bank and say
he thought he should have a present
of a $5 or $10 bill because he had a
small deposit there the past year it
is hardly likely his wish would be
gratified; if he were to get on a pas
senger train without a ticket and tell
the conductor the railway company
should take him to Chicago free be
cause he had continually bragged of
the company to his friends he would
be put off at the next station.
"Absurd as the above suppositious
cases are they are no more so than
the idea of working a newspaper for
free advertising. A newspaper man's
space is as much his stock in trade as
are a merchant's goods, a banker's
money or the transportation of a rail
road company. Yet if an advertis
ing agency places a contract for $50
worth of advertising in the course of
a year it is very often the case that
the newspaper man is asked to give
from $5 to $10 worth of free adver
tising, sometimes more.
"Newspapermen are largely to
blame for this state of affairs. They
have permitted such a state of affairs
to exist so long that it may be a lit
tle difficult to break away from it, but
it should be done. A newspaper man
is entitled to more compensation than
being slapped on the back and told
