Hays on March 16, issued 'the following' no tice to all postmasters in the United States: "The attention of all postmasters is directed to the desirability of partici pating in civic activiies in their res pective communities.

Anna Hosner wants a divorce from John Hosner, also claiming desertion in her complaint filed. The couple was married at Unionitown, Penny, August 10. 1918. MILL WORKER FALLS SUNDAY AND INJURED Control of Prices The government is left without any satisfactory method of controlling excessive prices for commodi ties, since the Supreme Court has decreed the vital sec tions of the Lever act unconstitutional. It is a most difficult situation to handle, since too rigid price "control stifles production. Attempts to fix prices on farm products, for instance, would ha hazardous, except in some great war emergency. Such prices, if set at a point below the figure fixed by na tural processes, would drive many farmers out of bus iness, and finally tend to elevate the cost of these staples The government, however, needs some kind of power with which to act in exceptional situations where combines control the market and when their grip can't be shaken by the workings of economic law. Congress must see that some means is found for protecting the people from the extortion practised by certain elements when they get a chance. It is almost impossible tc frame'a law that shall define what constitutes an exhorb itant profit. But there should! be some public author ity which shall have power to investigate the condition in any case, and to take effective action if people per sist in making exhorbitant charges. If a fair amount of competition prevails in any staple, it usually works best to let natural laws operate, and they remedy many bad situations. The public suffered from the exhorbitant prices asked for sugar when that staple was released from control. But in the end free competition and high prices brought an enormous amount of sugar into the market, which has now produced a very reasonable price. The best security against, profiteering is the sup ply of a sufficient quantity of merchandise. When there is plenty of everything, it is almost impossible to secure unreasonable figures. The Bubble of Dreams Pricked! 3 Sometime (Elysian date) " ' my ships will come from sea, And everything (almost) ' will then be well for me! Sometime (I wonder when!) my poverty will end, And cash receipts exceed the sum I need to spend. Sometime (will they, will they?) my dreams will come true And life will be "de luxe" in tints of rosy hue. Sometime (Oh, no, not that!) to Fate we all shall bow. Away, be gone, "Sometime!" I'll do my living NOW! , S WOMAN-I-TORIALS S A Successful Life. Recently a woman died in Indiana who all will agree must have made a success of her life. Her city paper had the following to say to her: "Hre disposition was quiet, gentle and kindly. Though naturally reserv ed and dignified, she was yet cordial and genuine in her manner. She waa preeminently a woman "full of good works." Her. devotion to her church was signally beautiful, and in the family circle she was an ideal mother. She will be greatly missed by the whole community." OPEN DOORS IN BUSINESS FRED ARMSTRONG, BACK FROM MANY SEA VOYAGES, TELLS OF STRANGE SIGHTS AND EXPERIENCES ABROAD. Charles Young, employee of the Crown Willamette Paper company at West Linn, fell a distance of 12 feet Sunday afternoon, striking his head on a cement floor below where he was working. He was carried unconscious to the first aid room, but revived and is now in the Oregon City hospital, receiving medical care. He was re ported resting easy late Monday evening. New Denomination Adds New Members Fred" Armstrong, who returned to Oregon City a few days ago from a sea trip, covering nine different coun tries, again has a longing for the sea, intending to embark in the near fu ture, after visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Armstrong, who reside en a little farm at West Linn. Mr. Armstrong says. "I wasn't cut out for a farmer; not exciting enough, and since I have been aboard ship, have found there is something fascinating about the old sea that I can't resist." Mr. Armstrong left Portland as sec ond cook on the M. S. Babinda, Octo ber 18th, 1919, shortly after he re turned from Europe, where he had served with Company G, 162nd U. S. Infantry for 26 months. With a cargo of lumber the M. S Babinda set sail from Bombay, India. The first stop was made at Singapore. China, after a voyage of 42 days. Af ter arriving at Singapore a stop of 24 hours was made when a supply of oil for the motor ship was taken aboard. After Bombay was reached, the men, who were making their first trip on the boat, had a chance to sea little of the country, and the natives. keys, a dog and 18 parrots were pur chased by the crew, besides jewelry and various kinds of wares. One of the crew purchased a handsome tea set made of native beads, that was a marvel, but after arriving in por. in the United States, found the duty was so large mat it was allowed to be taken over by the customs officers, for the seaman was unable to pay the duty. When the ship left South Africa, th-j seamen were happy with their mas cots, the monkeys, parrots and dog. but hard luck came later for all the parrots died, the dog was accidentally killed by getting caught between a wharf and the ship, and the monkeys were later disposed of by some of the crew who were "somewhat short" on change. After leaving Derbin, South Africa, Cape Town was the next port Arm strong visited. Here he was paid off and signed over to the "Lake Ellijay,' as second steward, serving on that ship fom, Buenos Aires to Boston, where the entire crew was paid off. Again dissatisfied with life on the dry land, Armstrong joined the S. S. Proceeding to Calcutta, a stop of I Hoxie, after remaining in New York about two weeks was maae wnen The New Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Congregation of Missouri Sy nod, recenitDy organized here, held an enthusiastic meeting last Sunday morning, after the regular services. The following officara were elect ed: William Frick and George Kahe, elders; Henry Kreuger, treasur er and Geo. Piper secretary. A number of other important mat ters were disposed of. Rev. George is the pastor, and the services are held both morning and evening in the Union church on Mol alla avenue. The membership of the church has been increased consider ably strpg the denomination was es tablisheiitn Oregon City. FARN S WORTH PROVES ALIBI AND RELEASED M. P. Farnsworb, arrested last Sat urday night in connection, with the Kstacada safe-blowing job on the night of February 26, was released on Monday afternoon after he has proven his innocence. Farnsworth alleged hat while he knew Steele and Mabus now held for the job, he knew nothing of the safe-cracking at Kstacada. Randall Loses in Big Damage Suit In the case of Randall vs. Singer Sewing Machine company, in the cir cuit court Saturday, In which Ran dall sued the company for $2999 33 damages for alleged asasult and bat tery, the jury brought in a verdict for xne vieienuanis. itan-aau claimed in his complaint that while calling for a sewing machine at the company's of fices, he was attacked and beaten by officials of the company. Gilbert L. Hedges, city, and Frank Schlegel, of Portland, were the attorneys for the defendants. a cargo of coal was taken for Pirem 13 land, this island being at the mouth of the Red Sea. A six weeks' stay was made there, and the boat then sailed for Derbin, South Africa. Armstrong says that some of the natives who met the ship, and having wares to sell, resemble the man-eating tribes of the wildest Africa. In many places the Africans will transport visitors by means of jinrikshas through some of the scenic parts of Africa for the small sum of about five centovas (ten cents) for three miles. It was while Mr. Armstrong took advantage of one of these trips that he visited some of the woodland country of South Africa near Derbin. Passing through the cocoant trees he and others were pelted with co coanuts by the monkeys that were seen in great numbers, ranging from young monkeys to very old fellows. Great chattering by these monkeys greeted the visitors as they made their apeparance, and some rather en joyed the presence of the men. Jump ing from limb to limb and chattering all the time, with cocoanuts flying in the air, Armstrong says it was an amusing sight, and he thoroughly en joyed this unusual visit in "monkey land." Later, before the ship sailed, its departure to dispose of tamed mon keys, dogs, and parrots. Several mon and Philadelphia for about six weeks. This ship was bound for Gottenburg, Sweden, with a cargo of coal. While on the return trip to the United States, 900 miles off New Foundland, the main steam pipe of the vessel broke, and the ship was forced to turn and go with the sea, which took it back to Scotland. It required two months and a half for the repairs to be made, and it was up to the men to spend Thanksgiving. Christmas and New Year's day at that port, and Armstrong says he never will forget those holidays. It was on Christmas day in the sa loon of the ship and theatrical troups from the King's theater in Greenoch, Scotland, gave an entertainment for open to women today on the average THE NEWSPAPER WOMAN. Here is profession entered more for the love of the job than for the money there is in it. So many persons are born with an itching to use the "pen" that the supply of newspaper folk has alwayg- exceeded the de mand and this has kept down the wage. It is remarkable how much brain and originality, if not real gen ius, is put into the newspaper one gets for a few pennies d how littlb these dispensers of brain product get for their efforts. Perhaps it is the fascination of newspaper work, rather than the pay for it, which 'holds the vast army of newspaper writes to their pens or at their typewriters. There is always the chance that one may succeed brilliantly and attain both fame and fortune by climbing this ladder and this is the means by which most writers have attained eminence. Newspaper work, while not paying large incomes itself, is the prepara tion for several other occupation which do pay well. These have to do mostly with the advertising branch of the business. Ad writers, maga zine writers, and most fiction and play writers have served an apprent iceship in newspaper work. A college or at least a high school diploma is almost necessary for the newspaper writer, yet she is quite a law unto herself and if she can get news and write it attractively she is desired by the newspaper which asks no Question about how she acquired that ability. A course in journalism is now offered by most of the larger schools and requires from two to four years. A woman is less in demand than a man in a newspaper office as she is less-able to stand the strain and rush of newspaper life and cannot be sent out to gather news at any place or any hour. Women also are less fitteu to produce the average (newspaper which is still too mpuch a man-appeal ing, affair with other emjphasis upon news interesting to men. More anc more as women become more influen tial will women be admitted to help prepare the paper.- Society reporter. and woman's page editor, or writer of "sob stuff as the sentiment artic les supposed to appeal to women are called, are about the only positions esSSeS$$j.S.t CARE OF COOKING UTENSILS 53sj$g$S'Ss'.3'Sg If you find your cooking dishes with a coat of burned and blackened grease it may be removed by boiling for an hour or more in a solution of strong sal soda or weak lye In a large boil er which will hold enough water to entirely cover them; then scrape and scour with sand, ashes, or sapolio. Tins must be well dried before they are put away or they will rust. Sieves should be washed with a brush and dried ip a warm place. The egg beater should be washed imediately after it is used that the egg will not harden on it in inacces sible places. Keep the cog wheels dry. Wooden ware should not be put near the fire to dry or it will crack, or warp. In selecting new utensils choose those with few trimmings and cor ners to hold dirt. It pays to get good ware as Jt may be kept in better shape and will last longer. Have plenty of glass or tin covered dishes. Teaching Americanism. Birmingham, Alabama, has invent ed a new way to instill patriotism. It is a creed in which each child pledges to help make the city clean, healthful and beautiful, to obey the laws and help others obey them, to love the flag, to try to learn to make an honest living, to be fair in play and true in work, and to be kind to every living thing. It will eb interesting to note the result of ten years of practicing such a creed. Will Birmingham be nearer heaven than other American cities? , PORTLAND MEN FINED $75 FOR TROUT FISHING The first trout fishermen to run afoul the new laws and the recent rulings of the state game commission in Clackamas county were Fred Mich iel and Louis Miller, of Portland. They were arrested by Game Warden Meads Monday afternoon on Clear Creek, near here, and were fishing for trout, several of which they had in their possesison when apprehend ed. Both violators were brought before Judge Noble in the justice court and Miller was fined $25 and costs for not having an alien fishing license and $25 and costs for fishing for trout in a stream not affected by tdfe water. iMichiel first pleaded not sruiltv. and had a trial without jury. After the evidence was placed before the judge, he was fined $25 and costs for fishing in a stream not affected by tide wa ter. The state game commission has ruled that only three ' streams in Clackamas county can fished tn for trout -Clackamas river, Johnson creek and Willamette river thes streams being affected by tide wai ter. Trout caught in these waters out of season must measure 10 inch es or over in length. Miller and Michels, when arrested, had in their possession trout that ran as low as 2 inches . in length, and the largest one of the catch did not measure over 7 inches. Woman's Responsibility in Public Health. Miss Mabel T. Boardman, former head of the Red Cross and now one of the three Commissioners who direct the affairs of the District of Colum bia points out the fact that the pub lic has a duty in the prevention of disease which is as important as that of the physician. The medical pro fession may lead, but it leads prac tically nowwhere unless the public fol lows.

This spring promises to be a good one to gamble' on with early crops, but the gardener who decides to take a chance should be prepared for disappointment. . The map herewith was prepared b" the experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture from weather bureau records, and it gives exactly what may be expected in the way of late frosts in a given latitude. Tbere are exceptional years, of course, but the map shows what may generally be ex peered, i .Tender plants, which would be in jured by frost should not be set in the open until after the last frost date shown on the map for your locality. It is not worth while to gamble with plants which have been given an early start in hotbed or the house, . and which can Just as well be kept under cover until there is no longer chance of a setback. But it Is sometimes worth while to gamble by pushing the planting date ahead somewhat on seed which ordi- newspaper. omen are proving in creasingly able in newspaper work and many large papers have women in charge of the Sunday edition, a few acting as city editor, and in the West many women own and operate their own local newspapers.. The weekly salary of the girl re porter is from $18 to $25, or $50 for the woman's page editor. The latter position can only come after years of experience and maturity of mind. Space writing is often the method of newspaper writers. These write articles which they submit to news papers and are paid so much (usually $5 or $7 a column for what is accept ed.) In this work, the reputation of the writer is a great influence. Each successful article helps gain attention for the next. This "free lance" work proves very successful for some writers. The most paying position for the newspaper woman of- today is work for a syndicate, but this is h&rd to .get, and many syndicates do not have high standards and are able to employ mediocre writers for small salary. This has the advantage of being done at any time and placa to suit the work, the entire resui denpending upon the desirablity of the product. Some writers today con duct their own syndicate and se!l their product to dozens of papers over the country at so much per. Sometimes 'women are employed by special papers to conduct "a depart ment or column in that paper, but this must have special local appeal as so much good feature matter may be obtained from syndicates much cheaper and the individual writer has little chance. Most papers have occasion to change their society reporters fre quently as those thus employed leave for one cause or another and this makes an opening for, the girl ambitious to enter the newspaper field. She should place her applica tion in charge of the proper depart ment and perhaps follow this up by a personal call occassionally to see what the prospects are. While 6he is waiting for her turn she can write some good articles about local per- songages or happenings and submit ,$,$,4S?S..sJ-S$S'$$?l HARBINGERS OF SPRING S The Seed Catalogue.

HORSE EATS NEARLY FIVE TONS A YEAR From cost account studies made on 38 profitable New York farms in 1919, the New York state college of agricul ture found that the average horse ate in' one year 6,769 pounds of grain. As a general propostiion, the farms which had such a distribution of labor that they used each horse an average of only 2.2 hours per day fed much less grain and hay than the farms which used each horse an average or ' 3.8 hours per day. "In spite of this, however, the farms which used their horses more hours per day on the average, even though they fed considerably more hay and grain, were able to obtain their horse labor for a smaller cost per hour.
