In Ms most rugged vig orous days he was wont to rise at 6 A. M.. when he would dash his head, neck and breast with Ice-cold water. This latter ceremony the old man still keeps up, but he does not arise now tin auer o'clock In the morning, it usea to be a common sight to see the noted peasant after hla morning's head bath to draw on his clothes, which Included only a blue-checked jumper of linen, a pair of trousers and heavy. Ill-fitting peasant's boots. He seldom brushes his hair, merely combing It with the fing ers of hla left hand. Tolstoi has long been a strict veg etarian holding to the belief that man has no right to kill and consume . living organism. Once when asked. Is not a vegetable a living organism?" he answered: "Well, la time science may help us to such an extent that we shall not find it necessary to kill even a vegetable organism." It was such Ideas as these that lead the authorities to believe that Tolstoi had decided "to end it all." He prob ably realizes death Is near. I'p to a few years ago the Tolstoi family life had been ideal. It has been said that Tolstoi's part at Tasnaia Po- iana was rather that of a beloved and honored guest than of master of ti.e household. His wife and children al ways worshipped him, so far as the outside world has ever known, and his neighbors say they always relieved him of all possible annoyance and care. The Countess, though aging rapidly in the last two years, is stl.l a beautiful and accomplished woman one of the unknown wives of great men, on whom so often devolve the heavy du ties of raising a family under great disadvantages. Needless to say, she never had on a iow-bodiced gown, never went to the theate.- or a ball t II her fair young life, and to the Ion- . llnesa of the country must b4 added the bsolute loneliness during the absence f the Count- When he got tired of his village school, of his experiments the infant peasant mind, of things general, he could and did go away for rest- The Countess did not- De- Idedly, the Countess Sophia Tolstoi is ne of those truly feminine heroines who are cast Into the shadow by a brilliant Ight close to them, but a heroine none the less in more ways than need be mentioned. To her has fallen the task rear nine healthy, handsome, well- bred children out of the much larger family which they have had; to bear he entire responsibility of the house- old and the business. There are few better-informed women than she, few better business women, few women who re so clever and practical. It Is sole- from her that the younger members f the family have been receiving their education to fit them for the struggle ith life which her husband bestowed on the younger members voluntarily. f rom went can be learned tonight it seems that the Countess has not been full accord with some of the ideas Tolstoi. "All my husband's disci ples." she frankly said not long ago. are small, blonde, sickly and homely. 11 as like one to another as a pair f old boots." And apropos of some Inconsistency on his part, she remarked with equal candor that he changed his pinions every two years. ONLY 1 MAN FLIES Hoxsey Saves Day .at Balti more Aviation Meet.

'The' money comprised the payroll for two camps of Italian laborers employed by the Woronoso Construction Com pany on the building of a Nevada elec tric line between Great Britain and Egremont.

Warning the creamery and butter men of the State of Oregon that the "big Interests" were already organ ized to force through the Legislature a law favorable to oleomargarine, J. W. Bailey. State Dairy and Food Com missioner, aroused enthusiasm in a speech delivered at the first meeting of the .nssnclatlon, which was called to order last night In the convention hall of the Portland Commercial Club. Mr. Bailey declared that if an oleo margarine law was passed permitting the packers to sell oleomargarine In the state he would not give five cents for the dairy Interest of Oregon. "It will wipe you out of business. All of you know what the oleomargarine did a few years ago before the pas sage of the National measure. Today with the high price of butter the Gov ernment tax on oleomargarine is a very small matter. My advice is to get busy." Society's Aims Outlined. There were Just 24 butter and cream ery men In the hall when Paul V. Maris, Deputy Commissioner, called the meet ing to order. He outlined in a brief speech the purposes and the alms of the society as he viewed the opportun ity. He believed that there were suffi cient problems Identified with the but ter and creamery business which would justify the organization of such a so ciety as all had in mind. There exist ed, he said. In the state at the present time a State Dairymen's Association and it was doing a splendid work for the advancement of the dairies of the state and the securing of a better con dition in the matter of sanitation. It was also lending all Its aid to the betterment of the herds and also to Im prove the breeds. He believed that the creamery men should work in conjunc tion with the dairymen tor their suc cess primarily depended upon the Im provement of the dairy. Co-operation Is Needed. At the present stage of the indus try, he said, the Improvement of the herds depended upon the co-operation of the creameryman and dairyman in the eradication of the existence of tu berclll. If It was to 'be the future pol icy of the country in this direction then the sooner the country got rid of its tubercular cattle the better it was for everyone. A fact which faces all those engaged in the Industry, he declared, was that no provision exists by law for compensation of the loss to the unfortunate dairyman. "If the killing t tubercular cattle Is solely for the benefit of the people," said Mr. Marls, "and of damage to the dairyman It seems as If the cow owner should receive pay for his loss from the state treasury. Anyway it Is. a question which can be taken up in your meetings and disposed. "The creamery interests of the coun try," continued the speaker, "have broadened very materially In the last 20 years. This has been brought about by means of inventions, scientific knowledge and keen competition. There has been a great stride since our forefathers went out in the corral and milked in a dirty bucket the speckled cow. Today we have the milking ma chine, the separator and the cement- floored barn. e can test the milK. We know the number of organisms necessary to make the milk wholesome. 1 believe that the butter men can aid very materially in bringing about the proper solution of the multitude ot problems which confront the industry today." The appointment of M. B. tsnrocic, A. H. Lee and D. A. Mclntyre, all of Port land, by the chairman for the prepara tion of articles and by-laws for the guidance of the society was made and during their absence addresses were made by Carl Abrams, of Salem; C H. Freer, of Corvallls, and IX A. Mclntyre, of Portland. Upon their report the following officers were chosen: President, A. H. Lee, of Portland; vice-president, B. H. Kent, of Albany; secretary and treasurer. Paul V. Marls, of Portland; executive committee, David Gicer, of Pendleton; C. H. Fraer, of Corvallls, and Carl Abrams, of Salem; legislative committee, S. H. Graham, D. A. Mclntyre and G. F. Jones, all of Portland. It was decided upon the Invitation of Carl Abrams, of Salem, to hold the permanent meeting in Eugene, Decem ber 8, a day -ahead or tne meeting oi the State Dairymen's Association.
