GRAND CIRCUIT
TO BE EXPANDED
Harness Racing Season oM 91 2
Should Be Best Even
PITTSBURGH WANTS MEETING
Steel City Men May Be Awarded Dates.
Salem, N. H., Also In Line Meeting
of the Officials to Be Held In New
York, Jan, 9.
The stewards of the grand circuit
meet n New York Jan. 9. Several im
portant matters will come up in the
forming of the major racing circuit for
the light harness horse season of 1912.
Two and probably more applications
from new clubs will be received. The
Columbus matter will be thrashed out.
and several other important subjects
will be discussed. On the whole, the
coming meeting will be one of unusual
Importance.
The circuit as made up last season
started with a meeting at Indianapolis
and was followed by meetings at Kala
mazoo, Grand Rapids. Detroit, North
Randall, Fort Erie. Goshen, Eeadville,
Hartford, Syracuse and Detroit state
fair. Columbus was awarded dates,
being given the week following the
Detroit state fair and preceding Lex
ington, but as the Columbus associa
tion desired to give a two weeks' meet
ing they withdrew from the circuit
and gave three weeks of racing inde
pendent of the grand circuit. Lexing
ton, as usual, gave an independent
meeting early in October,
Since last winter, when the stewards
met, a great change has come over the
trotting horse situation. One of the
big deals consummated was the pur
chasing of the controlling interest in
the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed
es' association by a group of influen
tial business men, including W. B.
Dickerman. C. K. G. Billings, W. C.
Brown, H. K. Devereux, A. B. Coxe
and others. It is needless to say that
these horsemen, who are in the sport
simply for the sport there is in it, will
do anything they can so far as Lexing
ton is concerned to keep the sport free
from criticism and animosity.
An application for membership al
ready received cbmes from Pittsburgh.
and it would not be surprising were
the Steel City horsemen awarded dates.
Another application for membership
will come, it is undeiTstodd, from Rock
ingham park, Salem, N. H. This cost
ly property was purchased some years
ago by horsemen interested in the run
ners. Rockingham is one of the finest
plants in the country and situated so
closely to Boston it would make a very
easy ship from the Readville track.
That there will be considerable
change in the makeup of the circuit is
assured. Indianapolis will not try to
give another meeting so early in the
season, but it would like to secure
dates in September or thereabouts.
Hartford. Conn., will come out next
season stronger than in several years.
Of the $100,000 that is to be expended
in improving Charter Oak park $40,000
of it will be spent in a new grand
stand. A bigger trotting meeting, with
larger purses, will be given, which will
make Hartford a magnet for the ma
jority of grand circuit horsemen. .
SOLD WOLVERTON FOR $5,
Quinn Obtained New York Manager
For Stated Sum In 1907.
John F. Mulligan, inspector of the
Muskogee (Okla.) : waterworks, ; once
sold Harry Wolverton, the newly ap
pointed manager of the New York
Americans, for $5. This was after
Wolverton signed with the Columbus
(O.) team in the Tri-state league for
the season of 1907.
Wolverton at that time was not a
star, although be was quick to pick up
the game. In the middle of the season
Bob Quinn. manager of the Eclipse
team, offered Mulligan $5 for Wolver
ton, and the offer was accepted. From
that time on Wolverton rapidly gained
prestige in the baseball world.

Favorite Furs For Children.
Strangely enough, ''bait? lamb is oh

best looking fnrs for clildren's coats,
being equally suitable. fo- all ages from
five years up. They ar- usually fash
ioned in straight lines and self trim

lamb; but. sadly enough it is mucn
more appropriate for the matron, al
though ermine by itself, i small collar
with muff, is always snart for chil
dren. -. - ... -j . ' ' ,
For small .children tie fur . coat
means a risk 'of Jaking old, although
it is usually so "cunning" that it is not
to be wondered that motler is tempted.
It is too warm, however for the active
child. Velvet of all kbd's is in high
favor for suits, dresses jihd coats, even

An attractive model designed for a
girl of twelve is made wrb a diagonal

is no collar, but the neck is cut high,
with only a narrow point In'ront and

Teach Children to Think. '
One of the new' ideas upon education
is that children should be encouraged
to think more and to leave dry facts
alone. It Is said, too.- that we cram a
lot of facts down the minds of oui
children and do not give them an op
portunity to use their brains. This new
idea in education says that we must
take children oftener out into tht
woods to let them discover things fot
themselves. We should let them watch
the habits of insects and animals and
the ever varying phases of nature. We
should let both boys and girls study
mechanical organism of things that are
In daily use in our big cities. For in
stance, a boy or even a girl who hap
pens to be in the vicinity of an auto
mobile when it breaks down might by
intelligent observation lealrn a great
deal about the makeup of one of those
modern conveyances if let alone to
watch the machinist go about adjust
ing the difficulties, says an exchange.
A very much disgruntled little girl
was overheard saying to her father and
mother, who had dragged her away by
the hand when she ran with her broth
er to watch a man in the roadside who
was fixing his auto: "Oh. you let John
nie stay and look all he wants.- but you
chase me away. I like to look at the
man fixing things too." Which shows
that little girls sometimes want to in
vestigate. , 1
. The Baby's Bath.
The temperature of the child's bath
varies with its age. At birth the water
should be about blood heat. 96 degrees.
This may be gradually reduced to 70
degrees by the end of the first month.
Baby's bath should alway be taken
before breakfast. The child should not
be allowed to frolic about and become
cooled off before bis bath, but should
be popped right from his crib into the
tub. For the first two weeks the baby
should be held on the knees while it is
being washed. Then he mayt be put
into his tub. being removed as soon as
possible after he is bathed. He should
be dried immediately with a soft, warm
towel, making sure that every spot on
the Tittle body is quite dry. A soft
powder of rice starch is then fluffed
on all over him.
The water in the bath should be soft
rainwater if possible and a delicate
Boap with a Turkey sponge or light
flannel cloth is procured for baby's use.
Until after the child is eighteen
months old the bath should be warm.
At that time the change to a coolei
temperature commences gradually
The mother may try sponging the child
with semi-cold water, after the regular
warm bath, and in that way work up
to the cold bath.
A Cap Fastener.
To keep children's caps of any kind
on and over the ears in cold weather
and also to keep mischievous play
mates from pulling tbem off sew elas
tic on one side. Let it extend around
under the chin to the other side. Pull
cap down to desired place, measuring
your elastic for length.
Allow enough for a loop and sew a
button on the side where you make the
loop. The cap will stay on and stay in
place and is also much easier to put
n than it would be to slip the cap on
with elastic sewed fast on both sides.
Use buttons the color of the cap if posj

' To Shape Baby's Ears.
When there is any danger of bfcr
ears growing out it is a good pn to
let him wear at night a small -openwork
bonnet of cambric or napsook,
which will help to keep the ea flat.
Care should be taken that it is not In
the least tight and so prove joncemfort
able for the little sleeper..' '?. V
When making strings for the labyV
bonnet work buttonholes in the"-18

STATE TAX LEVY
IS TO BE 3.5 MILLS
SALEM, Jan. 2. Approximately
$3,100,000 will be paid by the. people
in state taxes in 1912 ; The state tax
levy will be 3.5 mills. The total as
sessed valuation of the state will be
$890,000,000. Of this the valuation
appraised by the State Tax Commis
sion on public service corporations
will be $108,000,000 and by assessors
$784,000. The amount $3,100,000
which the people of the state, will be
called upon to pay will be the highest
in the history of Oregon, for one year.
The levy of 3.5 mills will not be the
highest, however. In 1904 the levy
was 7.006 mills anu the lowest was
1 mill in 1858.
