THE EQUITABLE SCANDAL
Jut how ths Equitable Life ex
pacts to do business even with ita
reorganisation, a difficult que
tton to aolve. To the casual ob
errar it looks as though tbt com
pany may as well go out of bui
nesa, for it will have a hard time
to get new policiea and without
new money coming in the shingle
may as well be taken down. A
self-confessed violator of National
law is at the head of the institu
tion, and it is again handicapped
by Q rover Cleveland's connection
with ita management. People who
spend money for insurance want
some degree of safety warranted
them, and they will take no chances
on the Equitable life.
TAKE UP DAIRYING
If Washington County farmers ex
pect to make the beet of their small
farms they must take up daiiyiog,
so that the soil will not become im
poveriehedV There is no branch of
agriculture that leaves the earth in
so good shape for results as the
dairy industry. Continual raising
of grains will take from the earth
and leave but little aa a fertilizer.
Of course, dairying entails a
great deal of work early and late,
but, after all, there is no crop so
easily handled, and generally eo
sure, as a timothy or clover crop.
Where forage is fed to stock of the
dairy class it is a patent fact that
the returns are better than in any
other branch of farming. As a
rule the Germane branch more
beavilv in dairying than other
people, and their farms are always
well-tilled and fertile, their stock
looks fine, and they are very thrifty
as a class. More dairying for
Washington - County and more
profit. Portland will always sup
ply the market if the local demand
shall fail.
RUSSIA HAD BETTER SETTLE
Russia is said to have taken a po
sitton in the peace conference that
denies any possible terms of settle
mant, Russia, wise, will corns to
terms. She is routed from Man
churia; her stronghold of Vladivos
tok is threatened; it is but a
question of time until Japan can
cut off the Siberian railway on the
west and bottle op Russian arms,
and it will be but a question of
time until Russia must settle on
the field of battle and then she
will come to Japanese terms, which
will not be easier as time comes
space." --"-''
Russia bad better settle, and at
once, upon the best terms span
will give her. A bluff early in the
game is good diplomacy, but when
a man is whipped it is time to let
the other fellow dictate terms. For
a beaten nation to dictate the text
of peace is too Utopian for even
Russian hopes.

YOUNO Mr. Plplnhot was reading
aloud from the latest Revolution
ary fairy tale for the supposed
benefit of Miss Elizabeth Sweelbriar,
with whom he was spending an en
chanted evening. As be neared the end
of an exciting chapter in which General
Washington bad Just thrown off the
disguise of a Capuchin friar and ex
hibited himself to the, terror stricken
plotters little Johnnie Sweetbrlar ap
peared In the doorway.
"At that critical moment," the read
er went on, "the spy changed counte
nance." "What did he do?" piped In Johnnie.
"Changed countenance?" repeated
Mr. Plplnhot.
"Ob, I know what that means,"
quoth Johnnie. "It means got a new
face. That's what sis there does. You
ought to see her face In the morning
when she's got the stuff washed off It!"
And In his agitation Mr. Pipiuliot
skipped ten pages and then went right
on reading as if nothing bad happened.

you may class me with those If you

"Miss iMauiere is a very beautiful
young woman," he said. "She has
wealth, social ponltiou, many frleuds"
"You have all those," Ids friend In
sisted eagrrly.
"I met her frequently last wluter,"
went on the young surgeon. "She was

"Ab, so that's the reason!" said Hill.

down on them. The foremost-a hys

"I puzzled over It for a long time

old times to divide families according
to their religious beliefs. If husband

grave was placed near some Methodist
brother, while the wife's body went
