average of Winter wheat to hit
around ,'lt) or :V2 bushels, allho
there will be many fields which
will go 40 and over. Mr. Hill
says that the last week of warm
weather injured the head on both
ends, and this naturally has cut
down the prospective yield. Mr.
Hill expects to get his separator
started Monday, at least, and L.
llulz, of Piloouiiiig, will by that

LIME USE GETS RESULTS
That results in the use of lime
should not be looked for too
quickly after applications and
that its value may not show up
for some time is demonstrated on
the farms of Ferd Groner, of
Seholls, and F. Peerenboom, of
Boy. On the latter farm very fa
vorable results were noted on
clover one year after the appli
cation of lime, while Mr. Groner
reports that he is still getting re
sults from lime applied six year
ago, and he can easily see by the
increased growth the point to
w hich lime was used.
From the 60 or 70 tests of soils
in different parts of the county
the necessity for the use of lime
is assured, with the exception of
the beaverdam soils. All other
types show that 14 to 8 tons are
needed to correct acidity. It
should he applied after plowing
previous to seeding of a legu
minous crop the following spring,
and considering that It will give
results for four or five years, its
cost of four or five dollars per
ton should notdiscourage its pur
chase. Orders should now be made
for ground lime stone to Insure
receipt before the rains set in In
the Fall.

Youngster, Once Arrested, Sends
Her Handsome Wrist Watch
Dora Heed Barber, with the U.
S. Dept. of Justice, last week re
ceived a neat lillle wrist watch,
the donor being unknown. She
is wearing the gift with much
satisfaction, and will not disclose
the name of the donor. She inti
mates that "Me" is a discharged
soldier anil the "kid" is now his
wife. The husband was taken
into custody by Mrs. Barber
some months ago, just after the
war started, and the letter ac
companying the gift shows that
the young fellow b-is acquired
the law of averages nicely. He
said:
T used to hate you like poison,
but I guess you were right and I
was wrong. Anyhow, 1 learned
some things that they don't teach
in school, and one of them is that
some day you'll get what is com
ing to you. You helped me learn
it. I am willing to pay for my
schooling. The kid thinks you
will like what we are sending.
You'll le glad to know one of us
is trotting square again, and
that's what me and the kid are
doing. All I can say is go get
em."
Mrs. Barber says "ine and the
kid" are married but you could
not get her to tell you who they
are or w here they are living.
The official has been abused
many times, and unjustly, and
only the officers of the law know
just how valuable her work is to
society.
FROM THE MAYOR
Hillsboro, July 29, 1919.
It appears that the North Coast
Power Company has adopted
some rules restricting the use of
water for sprinkling and irrigat
ing purposes. These rules have
been mailed to all water users
within the City of Hillsboro. In
the circular so mailed it explains
that the company is furnishing
the water to the contractors
building the state highway, inti
mating thereby that the city must
be deprived of the use of water
so long as the company is selling
water to the contractors; in
other words, the contractors are
given a preference over the wa
ter users of the city, ami
therefore, are eonseipiently
strieted in its use.
we,
re-
t his
My purpose in making
statement is to call attention to
the fact that in mv opinion the
North Coast Power Company has
no authority to estaniisii any
rules or regulations in conflict
ith the provisions of the fran
chise; or if such rules or regula
tions are attempted by tjie com
pany, then the same must be ap
proved by the Public Service
Commission. The franchise pro
vides that the company must fur
nish the city with an ample sup
ply of water. Unquestionably,
this is not being done or restric
tions in its use would not be nec
essary, tm tar, the city lias no
information that the recent regu
lations have been approved bv
the Commission.
Therefore, in my judgment,
the water users of the city, pay
ing by meter, are not legally or
morally required to pay any at
tention to the regulations of the
company above referred to.
Users of water on a flat rate mav
be subject to such regulations,
but certainly not those served bv
meter.
Respectfully,
John M. Wall,
