Phtronize Our Home Industriss The prosperous community is the one that within itself, most supplies its own people in their various needs, and by selling much and buying little, keeps its money from going abroad, Our farmers and manufacturers would each havo a bettor market for their products, if our people would encourage our local manufacturers by giving preference to their products over those importod from other places. Were such the practice, it would not be long until Clackamas county would be one of the greatest industrial centers on this Coast. rrasjscTORrsr fox cjcxsl amass county, ttflt there are other industrial estab lishments in Clackamas county not given in this directory, their card will be inserted free of charge on receipt of copy.

In early life Edition teemed a position as a night operator at a little way sta tion near by. There was practically nothing to he done during the night, as no trains ever stopped at the little sid ing, Lot it was necesKary to keep an op erator on duty there in case of emer gency. . Edison soon chafed under this inac tivity. - Night after night he watched through the weary hours until daylight without having sent or received a sin gle message except the perfunctory sig nalthe letter "B" which all opera tors were required to send over the wire every half hoar as a proof that they were ou duty and at their posts. Final ly the future "wizard" began some electrical experiments to while away the time. Within a few days be had ar ranged a switchboard contrivance on the clock which every 80 minutes re leased an automatic attachment that telegraphed the signal "B" and the number of the station over the railway wire. After that life was too easy for the young operator. He would go on duty -early in the evening, and after having several conversations over the wire with the train dispatcher would turn on the switch and go to sleep on a cot in the rear of the office. Throughout the night the clock would report the station "on iluty" regularly every half hour. This device worked like a charm. No ne knows how long it might have re mained in use were it not for the fact ba( in an evil moment the yooug in ventor took another operator into bis confidence. The latter attempted to con struct an automatic machine and failed. It succeeded, however, in tangling mat ters so badly that an investigation was set on foot, which resulted in retiring youug Edison to private life for several years. Chicago Times-Herald. Sneezing. When traveling in the south of Ire land some years ago, I was not a little surprised to hear every one in a room shout, "God bless you," when any per son sneezed, and the "God bless you" was repeated for every sneeze. I have since learned that this salutation has an origin going back to the sixth century, when the black plague fell upon Borne. Its victims showed the first symptoms by sneezing. When the African king of Menomopata sneezes, all those near his person send up a great shout, all within hearing take it up, so that the sneeze may be said to go echoing through the kingdom. One would think the subjects would soon get hoarse if their sovereign chanced to have an old fashioned New England hay fever. When the king of Ueuaar sneezes, his courtiers tnrn their backs on him and give a loud slap on their right thigh. There is a great deal of character in the manner of sneezing, and though even George Washington could not be dig nified when he felt a sneeze coming on and was in doubts whether it wouid come to a bead or not it must be con fessed that a good sneeze is more pleas urable than otherwise.
