10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1912 Rom AbsolutelyPure Cooling under modem methods and con veniences is made so attractive the whole family is becoming interested. "These biscuits are delicious; this cake is excellent," says the father. "I made them," says the daughter, and both father and daughter beam with pleasure. Royal Baking Powder has made home baking a success, a pleasure and a profit, and the best cooking today the world over is done with its aid. Respect and Obedience Are j I Unknown to Our Youth $ By Dr. WILLIAM H. TOLMAN. f Director of the American Museum of Safety I SENT my son abroad to be educated because there are three things he can learn there that he can't learn here to study, to be respectful and to be obedient RESPECT AND OBE DIENCE PARTICULARLY ARE UNKNOWN TO THE AMERICAN YOUTH. BY THE THOROUGHNESS OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM ABROAD THEY TURN OUT THINKERS, NOT INTELLECTUAL MA CHINES. IT HAS BEEN OUR HABIT TO 8END OUR BOYS TO EU ROPE TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THEM. THIS HAS BEEN OUR MISTAKE. IT IS OVER THERE WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE THE FOUNDATION LAID. THE SUPERIORITY IN EDUCATION COMES IN THE PREPARATORY AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. In this country a young man goes to college for one of two rea sons, lie has either a definite plan in view or he goes because his father went before bim. It is all in LAYING THE FOUNDATION. In this country the boy's book is a fetish. In Europe it is a tool. It is a means to an end. Ilere our boys hare a lesson to learn. They study it in a per functory manner without regard to what has gone before. When they have finished the book THEY PROCEED TO FORGET IT. Over there they study a book until they have MASTERED IT, all the while getting the culture and breadth of view. They are grounded in the fundamentals. The training draws out what is in a boy. While being educated the boy is TAUGITT RESPECT AND OBEDIENCE TO HIS ELDERS. You take the average child here living in a hotel. lie goes to the table with his parents, and the first thing he does is to grab the menu and forget entirely that he has a father or mother until reminded that they, too, have come to the table to eat. In Europe a boy bands the menu to his father. When out walking, if they come to a gate, the boy opens it and waits for hi9 father to pass. In all those little attentions the boys there are letter perfect. Here the American youth is sadly lacking in all of them. The Baking Question is the one you had better leave to us. Why worry and per spire over a hot oven when you can get such fine bread from us at a less cost than you can bake it yourself for. Make us your baker and spend the time saved in some more enjoyable way. That is what wise women all over town are doing. MODEL BAKERY FOURTH AND STATE HOOD RIVER, ORE. HarOe your Juit Cleaned and Pressed el. S PAU LD I N G'S Tailor Shop Phone 13X Under Bros. us Building S. E. BART MESS Funeral Director and Practical Embalmer ESTABLISHED 11 YEARS MOOO RIVER, ORCOON AN ILLINOIS INQUIRY. An Illinois render of these note write asking sUvics lu regard to tbt management of hundred acre farm which he baa lately bought and lu the purchase, of which be baa assumed a considerable debt. He asks spcvlnVal ly as to the culture of poprorn and on Inns and wnnta to know If ix-attuN would make a profitable crop f i i cn tral Illinois. There are an many eon dltlons and factors which our friend' brief letter of Inquiry does tiot state that we feel bit loath lu xlvlutt ad Tic as to what would be the bail course for blm to follow In getting the place paid for as soou as possible, lu the long run we believe our friend will fare best if In working out hla problem he adopts thnt type of farming which will tend to increase and conserve the fertility of his soil. The roost effective means of doing this Is to take up dairy lng. If our friend la new at this busi ness he should start with a few cows, and be will be money ahead In the end If he buys the best cows he can get They should be tested both for yield of milk and per cent of butter fat. so that he will know Just what to expect from them. Tn picking his rows It will be best to select that breed which Is the most numerous In the locality In which his farm is located, for It Is more the man than the breed In the case of three or four of the leading dairy types. To do best with bis dairy he should have a alio, and If his farm does not already contuln an alfalfa field we would suggest that he start one early next August following rye or early oats. Such an alfalfa Held. which shonld yield not less than four tons of finest forape per acre when once It gets established, will dovetail tn nicely with the silage. Hogs should accompany the dairy and will make it possible to manage It most economical ly, particularly If butter fat Is sold and the sklmmllk kept at home. As to the query about popcorn, we would say that In a general way pop corn yields about one-half as much as Held corn and fetches about twice as much. It will be readily appreciated that any considerable acreage of pop corn would not work In with dairying as well as common dent corn. How ever. It would not be a bad idea to try a patch of 1L It should be planted about the time of dent corn and usual ly matures a little sooner. Owing to Its smaller size the rows may be plant ed a trifle closer than the usual corn distance, which Is three feet six Inches. He should select a kind for seed which fetches the highest price In his nearest market Onions are a paying lnten give crop and require a good deal of band labor. The seed should be sowed with a drill In early spring on rich land as free as possible from weed seed. The rows shonld be sixteen Inches apart, and the onions should be thinned to two Inches apart when six or seven Inches high. If the seed Is not very thick the thinning may be dispensed with. In which case the onlous will be small, but of Just as good quality. From 400 to 700 bushels may be raised per acre, depending npon conditions, and to raise the crop will cost from $r0 to $S0. From 40 cents to $1 a bushel may be got for the crop, depending npon whether one has to ship In car lots to distant points or con peddle locally. In conclusion the writer would suggest to his cor respondent that If be has not already done so he subscribe for two or three good farm papers and that he further take advantage of every opportunity to observe and Inquire Into the meth ods of the most successful farmers living tn his Immediate neighborhood. He will And them ready to communi cate, and their advice and suggestions should be of special value because they know local conditions Intimately.

With prime farm lands In north cen tral states advancing in value In the past fifteen months all the way from $15 to $40 per acre, a decided move ment has set In along the Une of a purchase of cheap New England farms many of which have passed hands In recent years for a good deal less than It would take to erect the buildings on them. There Is one big advantage In these New England farms, entirely apart from fertility of soil, which may be little or much, and that Is their nearness to big markets and a large body of consumers. While the writer would not suggest the purchase of these eastern farms without personal ly Inspecting them any more than he would farms located In Texas or Ore gon, he Is of the opinion that at the prices at which many of them can be bought they are well worth looking Into. ARE 8PARED FOREST FIRE3. It Is a matter concerning which all people of the country feel gratitude, both those who would have been di rectly as well as Indirectly concerned, that so far this season there have been practically no forest fires In any part of the country. In any event. If there have been such report of them has not been made In the newspapers of the country. Without question this satisfactory condition referred to has been chiefly due to an unusually heavy fall of rain In most of those states where extensive forest areas are lo cated. Added to this is doubtless the fact thst method of organization and equipment of one kind or other for fighting fires have been perfected, while the heavy loss from forest fires In recent years has resulted In caution on the part of settlers and watchful ness on the part of forest rangers. question.
