HAYS REQUESTS
POSTMASTERS
TO 'MIX' MORE
Postmaster General Will H. 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. By taking an
active interest in the meetings of lo
cal Chambers of Commerce, Boards cf
Trade, Commercial clubs, and other
civic and community organizations,
excellent opportunities are afforded
for the dissemination of general pos
tal information essential to the pro
per conduct of an efficient postal ser
vice Postmasters should avail
themselves of such opportunities to
solicit the cooperation of civic organ
izations in securing the observance I
the fundamental principles of mailing,
the compliance with which on the
part of the postal patrons is necessarj
to the discharge of postal duties to
the entire satisfaction of the public."

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.

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."

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

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

morning, after the regular services.
The following officara were elect

A number of other important mat

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

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.

If you want to gamble, do it with
open eyes. 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

It is not worth while to gamble with
plants which have been given an early

which can Just as well be kept under

gamble by pushing the planting date

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

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

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
