U. S. MUST DECIDE ON
VGMNG UP CHARTER
OF
MARION, O, Sept 18. After pro
nouncing the league of nations coven
ant Irreconcilable with the American
constitution, Senator Hardin de
clared In a Constitution day address
here that the time had come for the
United States to decide whether It
woul,) P1"" or abandon the char
ter under which It achieved nation
ality. "The constitution or the covenant
that Is the paramount issue," he said.
"The two are irreconcilable. We can-
not be governed from both Genera
and Washington. We cannot follow
our present chief magistrate without
forsaking the father of our country,'
The republican nominee also a
sailed; the administration's policy
toward , the smaller nations of the
western hemisphere asserting that
the executive had usurped congres
sional powers to carry on an uncon
stitutional war with Hayti and Santo
Domingo. He declared the recent ut
terances; of Franglin D. Roosevelt
the democratic nominee for vice
president hag revealed officially for
the first time the American govern
ment's! ravage of the two little re
publics. The speech, "delivered from the
front porch of delegations from sev
eral Ohio counties reviewed the cir
cumstances surrounding the making
of the constitution and outlined the
candidate's conception of the balanc
ed powers of the executive, legisl

BOLT CHAMBERLAIN
CORVAIUS, Or, Sept 20. W. C.
Hawley, reprsentatJve, was in Corval-
lig yesterday on his road to Salem. He
was asked about the political outlook.
Mr. Hawley gave it as his conviction
that Harding would win in a walk.
"There is absolutely no question
at all about Oregon," said Mr. Haw
ley. "I have been over the most of
the 1st district and through some of
the other parts of Oregon and the ex
pression for a change In administra
tin is 11 tie short of unanimous.
'I think, too, that those democrats
who are counting on the usual num-
her of republicans being good to
George Chamberlain this year, are
going to be disappointed. I talked
with a prominent democrat too, last
week, a man well acquainted all over
the state, a man who has mixed con
siderably in politics, and he tells me
that in his opinion there will be
14,000 democrats this year who will
express their disapproval of Cham
berlaln by voting for StanfiId or
not at all.
"Ag for the republicans, 1 have in
terviewed a lot of them in the past
few months and I am convinced that
thousands of the so-called Chamber
lain republicans' are going to vote
this year for Stanfield. Teh general
sentiment seems to be that there is
no use electing a republican unless
we have a senate in agreemnt with
him and they do not propose to take
any chances."
Mr. Hawley visited the Oaco or
chards while here and expressed him
self as greatly pleased with the fine
outlook there.
IN FAVOR
U.S TRAFFIC LAWS
CHICAGO, Sept 21. "The excess
profits tax, if it tends to bring on
nnemployment and the no-hour day,
is a menace to the employes of Amer
ica," says Senator Harding, Repub"
can candidate for president in a cPv
righted interview printed this morn
ing in a special commercial edition
of the Chicago Herald and Examiner,
"If we are to guarantee the work
ers and producers of America against
the 'no-hour day,' we must go for
ward with a clear business policy.
"American bUJineBs is not busi
ness. "It is the bread-and-butter concern
of every man, woman and child of
America . . . Ag every housewife
knows, staples, like coal and sugar,
have been tinkered upward aid not
1 downward. (
"Taxation most be readjusted, as
soon as we can pick up the task, so
that we shall not continue a penalty
upon initiative and production.
"In this program of action every
industrial worker Is a shareholder.
"Ou tariff needs readjustment, not
' only for the better balance of pro
: tection of our industries, but to save
our agricultural production where
forolgn competition under govern
ment subsidy or under cheap labor
threatens its safety."

Slump In Business
EVGENE. Sent 51. Yielding to
the double pressure of the car short

Rural Express Is
Given Endorsement

value extends to both producer and
consumer, the transportation commit
teeof the National Association ot
State Marketing officials, at a meet
ing recently held in New York City,
placed an emphatic indorsement on
rural motor expresg by recommending
to the various state sthat they en
courage the movement
Points favorable to rural motor ex
press which were emphasized at the
meeting were:
It divorces the farmers transporta
tion problem from that of production
It brings a larger, fresher ana oft-
times cheaper supply ot farm prod
ucts to the customer.
It is a means ot reducing the cost
of living, because It eliminates waste
and duplication of work and makes
nrofitable the marekting of small
quantities of foodstuffs.

Shorts. Monty Ward, A. B, Shay and
S. Hoonan, officers of the Grays
Harbor corporation, and Captain W.
Magee and A, R. Hunt, former
North Pacific district officials ot the
emergency fleet corporation. Albert
Schubach. president ot the motorship
corporation, who was included in the
original charpe. was released yester
day after a directed verdict ot ac
qulttal.
Indiotment of the defendants fol
lowed an Investigation by department
of Justice officials who charged
frauds In the Pacific coast wartime
hlpbuilding program. Other indict
ments returnee charged officers of
the Seaboard Shipyards company, Ta
coma. Wash., Captain Magee and
Captain John F. Rlaln, former ship
ping board officials with having pre
sented false claims to the govern
ment in connection with the ship con
struction.

LEG!
I
AT
The forty or more state legislatures
that will convene during the next
year will receive something like 3000
bills affecting the use of motor ve
hlces, according to estimates based
on the number of bills presented at
previous sessions. Representatives of
the automobive and allied industries
state that legislation proposed will
range Crom bad,, through harmless, to
good, if former standards hold true.
Championing the Industry against
enactments that are directly discrim
inatory, or that are antagonistic
without being beneficial to the pub
lic, the motor vehicle conference com
mittee, composed of representatives
of the six leading national bodies of
the automotive Industry, will be in
action, in an educative way, as in for
mer years.
Present indications are that this
year it will be occupied largely, with
warding off unfair legislation aimed
at the motor truck, which, quite nat
urally, its friends say, haS made some
enemies in the course of its rapid rise
as an element of rural and inter-city
transportation.

With eager feet and dancing eyes

And strangely slow each hour flies.
The silence brings the spirit rest,
And yet its qulotnesg I me

Will seem, shared Just by m and you.
Put then the little foot must start
Vpon the long and untried way
So be It that with sturdy heart
Our "Paby" starts to school today.

OPEN DOORS
IN BUSINESS
THE HOTEL WAITRESS
Formerly men served as waiters
in most hotels and larger restau
rants, but since the war women are
filling this position with great suc
cess, being preferred In many places.
It used to be regarded that the wait
ress was quite an ordinary person,
but a high class ot women are now em
ployed as waitresses. In summer
hotels they are mostly college girls,
and In cities women who are capable
and refined. It requires physical
strength to walk the miles necessary
to be a waitress In a large hotel, as
well as to carry the heavy trays.
A waitress may work a long and!ed , from lh n,of Aflor Nong
a short "watch ' or simply during
dinner and supper hour, according to
the rush hours in that particular
section of the city.
The waitress receives a small sal
ary and her meals from the hotel,
but seldom less, but often more than
fS or $S a day In tips, according to
the type of people frequenting that
hotel and to her own attractiveness
and service.
The work Is Interesting and since
it pays so well and ia drawing a good
class of workers, it Is an attractive
field for the ambitious girl
WHAT MAKES JELLY JELL?
The substance which makes Jelly
Jell is called "pectin". It acts like
gelatin, which la ot animal origin.
Pectin is abundant In apples, cur
rants, partly ripe grapes, quince and
the white rind of oranges, aud lem
ons. Small quantities are found in
cherries, raspberries, blackberries and
pears.
Fruits lacking In pectin will Jell If
mixed with those strong in It Where
pectin is strong use sugar in equal
parts with Juice. If the Juice t
weak in pectin use about three-fourths
or one-half as much sugar.
Ixmg, slow cooking destroys tho
pectin. Warm the sugar before add
ing to tho Juice and cook quickly
The more pectin the shorter the time
required to make Jell.
If acid is lacking the Jelly will be
tough. T0 furnish acid add lemon
Juice or tartaric acid enough to give
a tart taste.
Most failures in Jelly making when
proper fruits are used, are due to
too much sugar or too long, slow
cooking.
Test jelly by dropping from spoon.
If it sheets off or forms two drops,
broad at the bae, It Is done.

t PUTTING UP PEACHES
When Polly put up peaches
It is a noble, art
The lesson that it teaches
Is simple to Impart.
The stony heart extracted
Leaves soft what Is behind.
With sweetness then compacted
All goodneiis Ig combined.
Perfection's height it reaches,
Bliss overruns the cup;
When Polly put up peaches
I'd fain put Polly up.
McLandlmrgh Wilson in N. Y. Sun.
Blanch peaches half a minute; cold
dip; remove Jackets; extract stony
heart; and pack In clean, hot, cover
fitted fruit cans. Pour hot syrup
over; partly seal and place in hot
water bath for sixteen minutes. Re
move and seal.
For peach butter proceed as above
but Instead of packing Into Jars,
mash pulp, cook In Juice without
adding water; add half as much sug
ar as pulp; cook slowly; stir fro-
quently. When desired thickness,
seal In sterile cans. To Insure
against mold yu may place the cans
In hot water bath for five minutes.
Pickled Peaches Boll one quart of
vinegar, two pounds of brown sugar
and one ounce of cinnamon stick
twenty minutes, After one
peaches are blanched and cold dip
ped, rub off the fur and stick threo
or four cloves into each peach. Cook
a few minutes in the syrup, a few at
a time, pack in can and seal.
Pear butter and pickles may be
made In the same way.

CISTERNS.
In order to hold water and to pre
vent pollution a cistern must be
water-tight In deop cisterns cracks
may admit water from the sol). Kv
ery car should be taken, therefore,
to keep the cistern absolutely water
tight, both to prevent the escape of
rain water and to prevent the seep
age Into It ot surface water.
The cistern should be provided
wtth a watertight cover, built in
the same way as for a well, Dust,
dirt, filth, small animals, and the
like should bs excluded in the same
way as from a well.
The greater part of the filth which
reaches clstorn in general la wash
dry spell, the roof Is coated with
heavy film of dust snd dirt ot all
kind. The first washings from such
a root, soiled with this dirt should
not be allowed to enter the cistern
To effect this, a water pipe, with
valve somewhat like a stove damper,
Lshould be provided on the "leader
When the rain begins, the valve
should be turned so that the water
wastes. Nothing is gained by turning
thin foul water into a cistern, buch
water will furnish food- for "frogmoss'
and other small plants and anlmalx
and irlve the water, a disagreeable
laste, odor and color. After the roof
Is thoroughly cleansed, the water
should be turned Into the cistern.
Clean water, If placed In a clean
cistern will keep sweet for many
weeks.
It Is a good plan to clean the cis
tern at the end of the summer
drought In time to catch the Fall
rains.
POOR MOTHER.
One day after the heavy milk cans
had been scoured and scalded, the
ironing was done, and the bread
malting for the hardest tasks of the
week must be done with one fire
the mother finished some sewing
that was pressing, and then, as th
sun was sotting, stepped out Into the
garden. She had spaded the garden
hcreslf In the spring, for the men
were too busy. A thrifty and asplr
Ing rosebuHh presented her with a
beautiful blossom. She raised her
hand to pluck It but a vertigo cam"
upon her and she foil. They ran out
and "fted her ' up. "Poor Mother,'
they said, "Bhe should not have tried
to gather the rose."
Gertrude Russell Lewis.
PRESERVATIVES.
Preservatives are used to rotara
or prevent the growth of mlcro-or-ganlsrns.
Harmful preservatives are
boric acid and the borates, benzoic
acid and the benzoates, salicylic acid
and the salicylates, sulphurus add
and the sulphites, and formaldehyde
Thooo about which there Is doubt
are liquid smoke and saltpetre.
Those harmless in moderate quan
tltes are spices, sugar, salt and
vinegar.
HERB 8EASONINGS.
Seasonings and sauces may make a
great difference In a meat or vege
table dish. Some herbs are cooked
with the dish a short time (not over
twenty minutes) and then removed.
These are burnet, thyme, summer
savory, sage and sweet basil.
Other herbs are left in the dish and
served with it. These must be added
Just before the food 1 nerved. Such
herbs are chervil, parsley, terragon,
and chives.
A little bunch of mixed herbs can
often be bought at the market. Tills
generally consists of two sprigs ol
jiarsley, a sprig each of thyme an 1
summer savory, a leaf of sage and a
small bay loaf. Boxes of dried horb
powders may be bought for season
ing but are not good as the fresh
leave. When cooked with the dish
they should be loft tied together to be
removed.
Turnips carrots, parsnips, celery,
leeks, cibol and onions may be used as
tlavorers and removed,
Some people like garlic, but It
should be used sparingly unless yon
are certain the family will like It.
TOMATO KETCHUP.
Cook a peck of 'tomatoes with four
small onions, and two red peppers
(minus the seeds). Strain the Juice
and return to kettle. Add salt sug
ar, cloves and allspice to taste. A
little corn starch cooked In this will
svoU cooking bo long. Seal in bot
tiftfi DId too of bottles twice In
T '

SCHOOL!
All over the land, Uie youth ol
America are rospondtng to th call
of the dimd-boll. Our greatest In
stitution ta beginning to retunctlon.
Wa may minify, wo limy criticise,
we may undorsupport tho schools
still we want our children unrolled
when the first class takes up. This
yesr there is patriotic work for all
In encouraging the boys and girls to
return to scohol. Hesldes the usual
desire ot youth to get out Into the
world to do" something for himself,
the ImpatlMUMd with the slow proces
ses of the class-room, and the necos
sltles for helping at home, the boys
and girls will M this year the add
ed temptation to school on no-
count of the high wages they can
now make. To counteract this they
must be shown that the next pmnr
atlon will be far mora handicapped
than was the last, by th lack of
schooling. No uneducated person to
day can hope to get on as Well as one
with school training. Competition
grows keener and schooling Is nel
ed to at Win suw eiw,
And those of us whose children are
In school, have we done our iH'Ht for
them when we simply "expose" them
to learning? ire there not way
and means by which we can make
their school year more valushl,?
Hy our own attitude of respect and
by family conversation we may In
still In them an etarntvitness and an
appreciation which will maks them
take hold of school work with more
vim.
We have learned to adjust tho
household regime to the ilven
lence of Father the business man.
We nhould do tho same thing for
teh children. Hours of eating, sleep
Ing, playing and studying nhould all
be provided for and punctiliously
kept sacred, no matter what Incon
venience to the home or parents.
That Is what home and parents aro
for to furnish the background for
the children's development.
Plenty of wholesome food for
schttol is a hungry business should
be ready In time for unhurried meals
and the arrival at school on time.
Nothing should be allowed to keep
a school child up late at night when
the next day Is a school day. No
pre of work should nhorten the
school-child's bourn of out door play.
Mother should never Interrupt study
hours with errands or Irrevelaut
conversation. The school-child has a
right to make a business of school
and only by doing this will school r
turn proper dividends.
The school-child cannot make bricks
without straw. He need the best
equipment books, buildings, tools
and teachers. We want these to be
available to all; In town, In country,
for rich, for poor. Our free school
system Is the glory of our land of
freedom.
In America we have twenty seven
snd ahalf million children ot school
ago (between five and eighteen
years.) This is one fourth of our to
tal population. Ot those, seven mil
lion do not enroll In school at all;
and the average dally attendance Is
only fifteen millions. Child labor, es
pecially rural labor, Irf the bane of
our education and makes us classify
eighth Instead of first among educat
ed countries, Judging by the illiter
acy among us. One out of ten adults
living In the cities cannot read or
write and twice as many In rural dis
tricts. We have 650,700 teachers, one-sixth
of them main. There was last year a
shortiiKi of 35.000 teachers, even
though 65,000 not duly qualified were
allowe, to teach.
We spend annually about. 1775,000,-
000 for our schools. We need to spend
more; we need to see that those In
school get more education out of tholr
opportunities; but most of all, we need
to see that all children of school ago
are kpt In school to be prepared for
tho life that Is bnfore them.
