HE crying Bin of Ameri-
n can life is lawlessness,
and the tendency toward
class hatred is deplorable,
Tho duty of the educated class
es is to tcacb restraint. Attacks
are made upon the laws and the
judges and legislators as a result
of tho growing unrest.
What do we gain by impatient
real? Striving for immediate re
sults in education seems to result
either in narrower training or in
the cramming of children with
knowledge which is confusing and
a hindrance to all normal develop
ment. In legislation it seems to
result in leading us to trust to laws i
instead of educating the people in
principles of life, and our HASTE
IK LAWMAKING IS RE
VENGED UTON US BY REAC
TIONS TIIAT LEAVE US IN
WORSE CONDITION THAN
BEFORE.
THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW

WERE TENFOLD WORSE IT

MORTGAGES ON LAND.
Why It Is Essential That Thsy Should
Bs Rscordsd.
As the value of laud to the owner
Increases so does the security of mort
gage Investments given on that land
Increase. A mortgage may be consid
ered as a deed of the land which re
vests the title In the original owner or
his successor on the paying off of the
mortgage or the bond or note which
the mortgage secures.
Mortgages are recorded in public
offices, called registers, recorders or
county clerks' ofUccs, in much the same
way that deeds are, so that any one
buying the land is bound to take no
tice of them, and the land is bound by
them, no matter to whom the land Is
conveyed, and no one has a right to
ay that he bought the land not know
ing that a mortgage was on It, for he
Is presumed by law to know such
facts, as a search of the title In theso
public offices would reveal.
If, however, tho holder of the mort
gage does not cause the mortgage to
be recorded then any Innocent pur
chaser of (he land can take it clear of
the lien of the mortgngc.
In no particular has the law of this
country gone further than In the effort
to secure the title of the landowner
and the security of the mortgage hold
er, and no investments are more high
ly regarded by the conservative busi
ness man than those founded on the
Imperishable surface of the earth.

STANDARD APPLE
BOX IS PROPOSED
('. K. WtiUtler, a prominent apple
grower if the Kokub Klver dUtrli t In
Oregon, who wan wnt to Wbxlilng
ton city by the Itogue Klver Valley
Fruit (irowers' AxHocbi tlou at the
time the bill HtHndurdlzliiK apple
boxes and barrel wiih before Con
gress which mcuxure was defeated
luHofur uri It relates to boxes has
uow prepared a bill standardizing
apple boxes, that be propoHes to
submit to the next whhIoii of Con
gress He has sent copies of his
measure to newspapers and growers
tu the i'acltie Northwest and asks
tor comments on It. The bill reads:
"Section 1. That the standard
box for apples shall lie of the follow
ing dimensions when measured with
out distention of Its parts. Depth
of end, 10' Inches; width of end. 11
Itichtt,; length of box, is inches Inside
measurement, representing as nearly
as possible 2171 cubic Inches.
"Section 2. That any box In which
apples shall be packed and offered
for'sale that does not contain the re
quired number of cubic Inches as pre
scribed In section one of this act shall
be plainly marked on one side ond
one end with these words, 'short
box,' or with words or figures show
ing the fractional relation which the
actual capacity of the box bears to
the capacity prescribed Ly section
one of this act. The marking re
quired by this paragraph shall be In
block K-tters of the size not lens than
2 point block Gothic.
Section .'). That the box when
packed and offered for sale shall bear
on one end In plain figures the num
ber of apples contained In the box;
also In plain letters the name of the
person, linn, company or organiza
tion who shall have first packet or
authorized the packing of the same;
also the name of the locality where !
the apples were grown; also the
name of the apples contained In the
box.
"Section 4. That the apples con
tained within the box, when so
packed and offered for sale, shall be
reasonably uniform In size.
Section .1. Whoever shall offer for
sale apples In closed boxes that are
not within the meaning of this act
shall be liable to a in-nalty not ex
ceeding one dollar for each box so
packed and offered for sale, to be re
covered at the suit of the I'nlted
States In any court having jurisdic
tion. This penalty to be recovered
under the provision of nn act ap
proved Juue l'.KMJ, entitled: 'An
act for preventing the manufacture.
sale or transportation of adulterated
or mlsbruncled, or poisonous or dele
terious foods, drugs, medicines and
liquors, and for regulating trallic
therein, and for other purposes.'
( rnlrty fourth statutes, page Tiis)."
It will be noticed that the dimen
sions of the box In Mr. Whistler's
bill are exactly the same as those in
what Is known In the North west as
the standard upple box." This ap
ple box In use In the Northwest was
adopted by the Northwest Fruit
Growers' Association, composed of
five states and British Columbia.
The California apple box would have
to be slightly changed to conform to
this standard.
UMBRELLA HANDLES.
In Franc Thay Shap Them aa Thay
Grow In Nuraariaa.
Most of the handles of canes, alpen
stocks, parasols and umbrellas used In
France are grown in nurseries. Ash,
maple, oak, chestnut and other woods
are nsed. In the early part of the first
year after planting the young trees
are cut near the ground to bring about
the formation of numerous sprouts.
The lower branches are removed, and
only a plume of leaves Is left.
Early In the spring the sprouts are
subjected to a surgical operation.
Their bark Is cut, and the wood Is
carved in different designs, which are
swollen by the sap and grow In high
relief as the tree develops. Special In
struments are used for the cutting and
designing. Thus carved, the sprouts
grow for three years.
At the end of the tntrd year the for
est of umbrella handh s Is cut, and the
cuts are dried In the sun and then giv
en a vapor bath, after which they are
put Into the hands of skilled workmen,
who peel them with one quick move
ment When skinned the peelers cut thera
to the required lengths nnd send thera
to the umbrella maker, who varnishes
them. If the shnpe dee'red Is a ring
or other open form a ring or oval or
square Is grafted to the natural stalk,
bound closely, and left to grow Into
place. Harper's.

on a coat or waistcoat," said tho tnllor.
"They enn't follow the fasliion; their

A Ghost Story.
A London dally tells a short modern
ghost story. A man was traveling on
a northbound train out of Ixndon. Op
posite him was a silent stranger, his
only companion. Between London and
Derby no word passed. Then, as the
train drew out of Derby, he said pleas
antly, "Good line, this, sir. eh?" The
stranger replied: "I think it's a beastly
bad line. I was killed on it two years
ago."
Ha Shouldn't.
A man with a donkey for sale, hear
ing that a friend wanted to buy one,
sent him the following, written on a
postal card:
"Dear Jack, if you are looking for a
really good donkey, please don't forget
me." Exchange.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A "FAIRY STORY" BUT IT'S THE TRUTH
In cooking a whole dinner, the vegetables are placed
in one compartment, with its thermometer set for the boil
ing point, and the roasts in the baking compartment, with
its thermometer set for baking heat. The main switches
are then closed and the small knife switch beside the clock
opened. The clock is then set to turn the current into the
stove at the selected time.
When the clock closes the switch, the current is ap
plied just long enough to bring the vegetables to a proper
temperature, that insures the breaking down of their
starchy particles.
Then the current automatically shutsoff.but the din
ner continues to cook with no further expense, the stove
taking on the firele9Scqokerprinciple. '
Food cannot burn in this stove, receeding heat is used
after the starchy particles of the food are broken dow n,
that action taking place when the food has taken the boil
ing, baking or roasting temperature. Meals can be kept
hot for hours with no expense whatever. Food cooked by
this new process has a wholesomeness obtainable by no
other means.
