Walls Writes on
Clearing Stump Land
SHERWOOD, Oregon, Jan. 10.
(To the Editor) Almost every paper
we pick up has an article on the sub
ject of irrigatoin.
This subject is of great importance
to our state.
But is it any more so than the
clearing up of stump land.
There is many small farms in the
Oregon country that are vacant, be
cause there is not cleared land
enough to make them practical horn
es. Many farms that are occupied
would be enlarged. Many men would
be given work if the price of stump
powder was not prohibitive.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be C"red
by local applications!, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catar
rhal deafness and that is by a con
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eu
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is, en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inltammation can be re
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever. Many, cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is,
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Hall's Cattarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the muc
ous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hall's Ca-
tarrah Medicine. Circulars free. All

HARDING DOES
NOT APPROVE OF
INAUGURAL FETE
MARION, O., Jan. 10. In the inter
est of national thrift, President-elect
Harding tonight requested officials
arranging for his inauguration to
abandon all plans for an inaugural
ceremony.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Abandon
nient immediately of all plans for a
celebration in connection with the
inauguration of President-elect Hard
ing was announced tonight by E. B.
McLean, chairman of the Washing
ton inaugural committee, in accord
ance with the desire of Mr. Harding.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Five
members of the house, one from Ohio
and the others from the south, voted
today to cut the $50,000 appropriation
for erection of a grandstand at the
capitol from which congress braves
the bleak March weather during . the
inaugural ceremony.
Against this handful, 285 members
voted for the fund, so that the long
established custom might prevail.
The snow was clinging to the first
pile of lumber, stacked outside when
debate started, coincident with an
other flurry of talk in the senate on
a proposal to eliminate all extensive
and ostentations inaugural show
while so many people in Europe are
starving.
By its action the house made pos
sible the carrying but of the part of
congress in the celebration. It has
nothing to do with any pageant down
town or an inaugural ball, against
which there has been protest on the
ground that "the pension building,
desired for the night festivities, is
needed for the conduct of the gov
ernment's pension business.

OPEN DOORS
IN BUSINESS
THE TRAVELLING SALESWOMAN.
There are many college students
who "canvass" for one thing or anoth
er during the summer, as well as
many older men who turn to this work
when they have finished their regular
life vocation. These are not regular
expert traveling salespeople, but use
this work merely as a filler-in between
or after their real work
To date there are few successful
traveling saleswomen, but their might
wedl be more. It is a business which
demands ability and skill and will pay
a good salary to one capable in it.
Weekly expenses are always paid by
the house, which besides the salary,
often allows commissions; Salesman
ship pays talented persons excellently,
but is uncertain ordinarily.
The woman who is, to enter thi3
field must have good health to be able
to endure the travelling and must also
know how to take care of her health
under rather trying conditions and
much irregularity.
The saleswoman must have a pleas
ant and graceful manner to win tht
attention of prospective buyers. She
must understand people and have
wide experience in approaching all
kinds of people and judging their likes
and dislikes knowing how to address
them and what to avoid. She must
understand thoroughly her line of
goods and appreciate them herself
else she cannot recommend them con
vincingly. She must have great self
control and good nature to adapt her
self to the many trifling disappoint
ments and annoyances which will arise.
She mus be a good talker, able to In
duce patrons to buy.
This business enables one to see
much of the country as she is travel
ing about most of the time. She
meets many interesting people and
has many pleasant experiences, and
may find the work very interesting
The instinct for an abiding place and
home life must be sacrificed during
the period of performing this occupa
tion, but the expert at it learns an
adaptability which can make the best
of any place and any companions! and
feel an athomenese whereever she
stays temporarily.
In some larger places, there may be
saleswomen who go out to their work
near by, but are able to be at home
nearly every night.
THE HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Did you ever buy a piece of cloth to
make a garment, feeling perfectly
sure that you had enough, and start
cuting the garment out collars, cuffs
pockets, front back, one sleeve and
half of another but only half when
the goods ran out? A trip back to the
store showed you that the rest of the
piece was gone and it couldn't be
matched in town. Well, that is the
way many homes manage their financ
es. 'They do not "cut the garment ac
cording to the cloth."
To make a budget is like spreading
out the goods and laying the pattern
on piece by piece. If you find it lack
ing, you plan where you may save by
making smaller collars or cuffs or
pockets or skimping here and there
where it will be noticed least.
It is not the formidable thing it is
often thought to be to make a house
hold budget and the housewife who is
businesslike and scientific about man-1
aging her home does not have to run
and put it down everytime any mem
ber of the family spends a penny or
rack her brains to remember just how
much she paid for the cabbage and
how much for the vanilla.
One needs to have kept account of
the expenditures one year in order to
know how to estimate what they will
be for the coming year; but it has to
be started sometime and it will prove
very interesting the first year to make
a guess at it and to see how nearly
your guess come to the actual figures
your accounts show up. Many surpris
es and lessons on thrift will await you
as the months roll on and you watch
your system develop.
Your budget and account system
will show you where the leaks in your
finances are, where you have been ex
travagent in some particulars and
spent too little on other features. It
will help you discover where you can
be more economical another year, if
each member of the family is getting
a fair share of the expenditures, if lux
uries are running too high, and where
you can make cuts with least sacri
fice.
It wUl give you immense satisfac
tion to know your financial status. No
business man would consider for a
moment doing away with the book
keeper which informs him at any mo
ment just what his income and outgo
are, and ror what. It Is estimated
that thre-quarters of the incomes of
America are spent by women. It is
really a matter of national, as. well as
private, importance that our women be
trained in business-like management
of finance. Heretofore we have placed
too much consideration on the earning
of money and 'too Jittle on the disposal
of it. There is an old saying, "A
woman can dip out with a spoon fast
er than a man can bring it with a
shovel." This but expresses pictu
resquely the fact that a man cannot
hope to become prosperous in busi
ness unless his wife joins in the thrifty
management of their means. The
household Jbudget will help to do this
without working undue hardship on
any member of the family at any time.
The houeshold budget should be an'
all-family-affair and the result 'of a
"round table" discussion and mutual;
agreement. The whole family should
come to a definite understanding
about what are their ideals and stand-
very ecomnoically, or with nominal
comforts? What shall be their pleas
ures, their educational advancement,
and what shall be a just share alloter
to each?
The next step is the preparation of
a chart for the keeping of accounts.

? HOW TO KEEP HOUSEHOLD i
ACCOUNTS
To prepare a table for
: 6 I
nouseno.a accounts, ru.e up t.C;the League undertakes to look after,
gooa sisea sneexs oi paper .hu m ,
straight across the paper and fourteen
for fifteen lines from the top to the
bottom of the sheet, allowing a two
inch space at the left of the sheet in
which to write the items bought. At
the top of the sheet in the different
columns write the various subdivi
sions of your expenses perhaps as fol
lows: Food, Clothing, Shelter, Operat
ing Expense, Furnishings, Health,
Gifts, Recreation, Advancement, Mis
cellaneousw
Tack these twelve sheets so labeled
and named for each month in some
convenient place in the kitchen, per
haps on the end of the cupboard. Tie
a lead pencil with a string where it
will be always ready to put down the
day's expenditures.
Not very article bought will need to
be mentioned, but lumped into tho
above subdivisions. Most people pay
for their groceries not oftener than
once a week and this can be put down
under food. .When husband brings
home an armful of supplies he can
give you the total to go in its appro
priate column. All bills should be
kept on a bill file and these will serve
as memory joggers. Either the
money must be expended largely by
one member of the family who keeps
the accounts or else all the members
of the household must be very particu
lar to report or put down what each
has spent. The greatest surprise in
this account system will be the com
paratively few entries you will make
when you had thought you were con
tinually opening your pocketbook to
hand out something.
Under the item Shelter would be
put taxes, repairs, insurance, rent on
the property. Operating expenses
would include labor, laundry, light,
heat, toilet articles, stamps, station
ery, water rent. etc. Furnishings
vottld include household furniture,
rugs, bedding, linen, towels, curtain?.
or any equipment or utensils. Health
covers, doctor, dentist, drugs, occulist.
COPYRIGHTED
and hospital. Gifts would be every
thing expended for others than the
family. It might be. hard to distin
guish between Recreation and Ad
vancement as, travel, music, theatre,
or any educational advantages might
be, either, but in general recreation
would cover the pleasure features
while Advancement covers more seri
ous benefits as schooling, special
courses, savings, magazines, books,
and anything which makes the recip
ient better equipped for life. There
will be some items " ,so difficult to
classify that separate columns are left
for them under the heading Miscellan
eous. , -
The articles paid for may be named
in the space at the left of the sheet
and the prices for the same put down
under the proper columns. When the
month has passed tear off the sheet
as you would from the calendar and
file it away for future referencme.
When you have kept accounts for sev
eral years it will be interesting to
compare the same months in different
years, and keep tab on your manage
ment and the rise and fall of prices.
While the proportions alloted to the
various items will differ in different
families, in general a recognized per
cent of the income which should be
demanded by each subdivision is as
follows: Rent 20 per cent; food SO
per cent; light, fuel, repairs, 10 per
cent; clothes 15 percent; insurance,
recreation, savings 25 percent. As
the income increases the food percent
diminishes and the Recreation and
Advancement increase.
To get more information about the
keeping of Household accounts drop a
postal to the Department of Agricul
ture at Washington, D. C., and ask for
Farmers' Bulletin 964 on this subject
or apply to your Agricultural College.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS S
One of the most influential organ-
j izations of women in America today
the League of Women Voters. It
1 rivals in power and numbers even the
reuBratiu or women s jiuds. it is
organized in thirty-six of the states
and has a National organization with
headquarters in Washington. Mrs,
Maude Wood Park is. National Chair
man and Miss Caroline J. Reilly, Is
Headquarters Secretary.
When the thirty-sixth state ratified
the suffrage amendment, althoue-h
women had long been hoping for the
ballot, yet at the last it was. like
other of the acts of man, "so sud
den" that we wondered just which of
all the beneficial things we had dream
ed of we had better tackle first. From
somewhere fhen appeared "Women
Planks," all thought out, and crystal
lized, and ''sprung" when the oppor
tunity was ripe. Those did express co
herently the mind of women every
where. They were the product of tho
League of Women Voters and show
what a well studied and prudent pro
gram can do. Under the wise gener
alship of Mrs. Wood and her lieuten
ants most of them were adopted into
the platforms of both the great polit
ical parties.
Political leaders, who have been a
little leery of the non-partisanship ot
the League, did not believe they could
so successfully maintain through the
heat of the campaign their natural
poise and pose. This has been the
more remarkable as many of the lead
ers in the league were also leaders
in a political party as individuals; but
thenon-partisanship of the League of
Woman Voters has remained unscath
ed in spite of this; and prospects now
point to a tremendous period of use
fulness and popularity for this or
ganization. Its program is precisely in accord
with the spirit of the times. Women
are now citizens: t.h next tn ia to
j become thoroughly and broadly edu-
cated and trained in citizenship. This
ag weU ag to SUDPOrt suc legislation
as makes especial appeal to and con
cerns women.
As to segregating the women voter
from the man, it no more approves
of separating the sexes in politics than
in the meeting house, nor does it ad
vise women to stay outside the polit
ical parties. On the contrary it wants
them active and influential in the
parties.
It is the idea of the League of Wo
men Voterst to form a clearing house
for all women where legislation pecu
liary desires to be womankind. It will
develop a solidarity of the sex back
of legislation concerning Child Wel
fare, Women in Industry, Health and
Morals. Food Supply and Demand
American Citizenship, Education, and
such other problems as interest great
ly this great forum of American wo
manhood.

The Theatre Usher
The job of Usher in a Theatre is
one which is rapidly falling to the lot
of women. They can do it as well as
men and, since it pays little and is
very easy to do, it seems more appro
priate for women than for men. ' It
is not a good work for a girl to make
permanent as the pay will remain
small as the requirements are small.
For a girl who must remain at home
during the day, but wishes to pick
up a little money in the evening, this
will serve.
The wages pre only about ?8 or $9
a week, besides gratuities. " Vaude

where there is continuous perform

the desperate struggle for lire by the
passengers and crew thrown into the
sea by the waves after the vessel
crashed.
Barreras said he found himself in
the water being tossed about by terrific-
breakers in pitch darkness.
Many of those who went overboard
were killed, he said, by being hurled
against the rocky shore. In some
cases several persons tried to sieeo
the same projection, a struggle for
life in the icy water ensuing in which
the weaker swimmers slipped away
and were drowned.
The cries of the women and chil
dren could be heard on all sidesj for
some time. Barreras said, but one by
one the struggling victims were si
lenced by the waves. Officials and
citizens of Riveria began doing
iverything possible to relieve the sur
vivors' sufferings.
