A Labor Lc;
Washington, Do 5 Speaker
Cannon, resentin ; v-,at i o d- cmed an
insult from John 1 arnnn Schulteis,
chairman of the I .tion e:;ecutivo
committee of the .origins of Labor,
summariiy ordered Air. Schulteis from
the Speakers room at tho Capitol
today, with the parting injunction to
the labor leader never to darken his
door again.
Mr. Schulteis made his first call up
on the Speaker several days ago with
the demand that Representative Liv
ernash of San Francisco, be made
chairman of the committee on labor,
and that Representative Wynn, of
the same city, be made a member of
that committee. As both those men
are members of theminority, Mr. Can
non explained to Mr. Schulteis that
their assignents would depend on tho
recommendation of Representative
Williams, the minority floor leader,
but it would be impossible to make
Mr. Livcrnash chairman of tho com
mittee, as tho chairmanships would
go to the majority.
When Shulteis appeared before the
Speaker today he announced in what
was taken by the officials to be an of
fensive manner that the labor com
mittee had been "packed." He re
newed his demand that Mr. Liv
ernash be assigned to this committee,
announcing that he had defeated Mr.
Cannon for election to the Fifty-second
Congress, and that unless his re
quest in this instance was accorded
he was going into the Speakers dis
trict in the next campaign.
Schulteis did not have time to finish
telling the Speaker what he would do
to him, as Mr. Cannon at this point
gave his peremptory order for the
man's ejection from the'room, stating
as he did so that there was no chance
of the committee's "being packed" by
Schulteis.
Just as Schulteiswent out Sidney
Bieber, the fire marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia, entered, bearing a
miniature brass cannon. As be placed
the cannon on the Speaker's desk he
remarked:
'Mr. Speaker, it sometimes takes a
ittle cannon to protect a big cannon."
Lewis and Clark Fair Support.
Washington, Dec. 4 Representa
tive Williamson today introduced a
bill establishing an assay office at
ortland and another appropriating
$100,000 for a public building at
Baker City, and a third increasing
ndian War Veteran pensions form $S
to $12 a month.
The California delegation today re
ceived from the San Francisco Cham
ber of Commerce resolutions instruct
ing them to support the Lewis and
Clark Exposition appropriation.
Senator Mitchell today secured the
adoption of a resolution calling on
the Secretary of the Treasury for
statesments showing all appropria
tions in aid of expositions. He will
use tne data in nis speecn on tne
Lewis and Clark bill.
Senator Mitchell introduced a bill
granting rural free delivery carriers
an allowance of $250 annually for
subsistence.
Sales of i903 Hops.
Eugene, Or., Dec. 5. Several sales
of the 1903 crop of hops were made
in Eugene today. S. H. Friendly sold
to Lachmond & Pincus 100 bales; W.
Cheshire to Catterlin & Linn 1G0
bales; Miller Brothers and E. H
Gomph to Lachmond & Pincus 85
bales. The terms of sale are not
civen out, but it is understood that
the price paid was in the neighbor
hood of 16 cents per pound. A mar-
jority of the growers in Lane county
have not yet sold their hops, but it is
now thought that they will soon be
etting go of their holdings, as they
are beginning to realize that instead
of advancing, as they had expected,
the price is steadly going down.
flaking Wine In Oregon.
Jacksonville, Ore., Dec. 5. V
Britt and son, Emil Britt, are just
finishing their season's work in wine-
making and have over 300 gallons in
in their vaults. They have been in
this business for 25 years, and usual
ly make from two to three thousand
gallons of wine each year. Their
wine has a high standing among con
noisseurs in Portland and other cities
on this coast.. This season they have
made a new venture in their product
and manufactured a largo quantity of
sterilized grape juice to be sold for
use in sacramental and medicinal pur
pose. If this has a ready sale this
year they expect to make a mux
larger quantity next year.
SUPPORTING A NEWSPAPER.
Perhaps of all men in business the
editor of a newspaper has more act-
ual knowledge of human nature than
any other man in tho community,
with the possibly exception of a
Father Confessor. A short time ago
tho Plaindealer Pub. Co., sent out
a lot of bills for subscription due, and
among them was one for $20 sub
scription duo for years past. The
brothor to whom the bill was sent es
teemed himself to be a prominent
citizen and shining light in tho repub
lican party. He met tho editor on
the streets ono day last week and
said that he had been receiving the
Plaindealer for many years and.
that he had never paid for it or been
asked to pay for it, that he supposed
that his influence to the papor was
worth his subscription to the paper.
Wo asked him this question: Will
your influence pay the printers' wages,
paper, taxes, insurance and a score of
other expenses? Well, he did not
know about that. And in like man
ner there are a number of subscribers
in Douglas county who think the
same thing and act the samo s way,
but all such vain thoughts aro a de-
usion. They do not pay printing
bills and so far as a man being a sup
port to or an influence for a news
paper, nobody appreciates a news
paper they do not pay for, and for a
man to put himself up as a leader of
the Republican party and fail to pay
the editor, the man places himself on
he charity list because if he does not
pay for his own paper the editor has
to do so for him; and so far as the
present editor is concerned, that kind
of support and influence is looked up
on as a dead beat excuse for not pay
ing a just debt. Then there is an
other svstem in which men show how
ittle and small the' are and how con
temptible they can act. We have
fellow by the name of JJU B in
view, ine name was entered on the
ist about thirteen months ago and
the paper has been sent regularly to
his address. About one month ago
the old man came to the office and
informed us that he had not subscrib
ed for the paper, but that his son's
name was on it and he had been tak
ing it out ever since tho voung man
eft for another state, that we would
have to look to the son for payment.
Last week the noble son of a noble
sire called in and ordered his paper
topped and he would see us on the
street and settle the bill, and so-
forth; and we have heard much of
the same kind of palaver before, but
we told the young man right then
and there that he intended to dead
beat the office out of the subscription
and that he had no intention of pav
ing the just debt. This was on
Thursday and too late to change the
mailing list that day. On Saturday
we received the Plalvdealer back
again with the work refused stamped
on it in ten places to show us, we
presume, what a noble specimen of
debt paying manhood the said ll!!
was and is. But whilo such business
has to us a shady side it also has a
right side as we learn this lesson
thoroughly: Oregon is not different
from any other state, it has just as
as many good men in proportion to
its population as any other state has
of dead beats.
RECTOR OF ST. LUKE'S.
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the
Good Qualities of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
Asiiiicn.viiAH, Ont., April 18, 1933: I
think it is only right that I should tell
ou what a wonderful effect Chamber
lain's Coueh Remedy has produced. Tho
day before Easter I was so distressed
with a cold and cough that I did not
think to be able to take any duties tho
next day, as my voice was almostchoked
by tho cough. Tho same day I received
an order from you lor a bottle ol your
Cough Remedy. I at once procured
sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great re
lief the cough and cold had completely
disappeared nnd I was nblo to preach
three times Easter day. 1 know that
this rapid and eflectivo cure was duo to
vour couch remedy. I mako this testi
monial without solicitation, lcing thank
ful to have found such a uodsend reme
dy. Respectfully youre,

Take Care of the Cows.
While tho subjoct is being discuesed
through tho agricultural papers, and
this being tho tlmo that cows due this
fall are dry, I wish to say a word against
tho all too-common practice of letting
the dry dairy cow shift for herself. This
a bad and ruinous practice, not
only for tho cow but for tho futuro of
the calf she carries. Turned out in a
field shorn of all its growth, most times
an old stubblo field, no attention is paid
to her until she calves or is just about
duo.
This is easy for the owner, but is one
of the costliest practices that can bo
followed. The cow needs food just tho
same during her dry season as sho does
luring the period of lactation, tho only
difference being possibly the charactor
and amount. Tho dry milch cow can
give up tho heavy grain feed that is es
sential to a maximum milk yield, be
cause with grain sho will lay on so much
fat as to mako parturition dangerous:
but she must not bo starved or even
half-fed. A moderate allowance of hay or
fodder and ensilage should be her daily
portion, gauged of couroo by tho cow's
individuality ; as a cow that is a good
grazer needs leas than her lets energetic
sister, and tlto cow that puts ou fat
must bo held to a proper condition to
avoid any serious consequences when
tho calf comes.
Individuality controls here, as in
about every other branch of tho busi
ness, and no set rule will suit all cases ;
but a general system can bo followed,
not too closely, and much good be accom
plished. The cow that has finished a
siege of dairy work for efcht or nine
month comes to her dry period with a
tired feeliag" and a calf very much in
need of sustenance while yet unborn,
and this the mother must snpply to
keep up tho contract between naturo
and man. Tho feeding of tho dry cow is
thus a double duty, as the cow mnst re
ceive the amount and kind of food to
nurse her back to her former produc
tiveness and furnish the offspring suit
able nourishment to start it in life with
ie inheritance, at least of good health.
Tho dry cow is usually looked Uon as
'ttar boarder," never missing a meal
nor returning a cent ol income. But
this is not the case, ami Is a libel on the
good dairy cow. The strenuous life led
by the present day dairy cow, calls for
at least two or three months complete
rest from her life work a vacation, as
it were, to gain strength and heart for
the nearing period of activity in lacteal
production. She, it will be seen, needs
food that will help her enjoy and recu
perate in this short "breathing spell,"
and it should bo-hers.
I have mentioned these things and
lave had in mind all along nothing but
the financial view Jof tho care of the
lairycows when they are, dry. I call
attention also to the sentimental side of
this thing. How many long-haired, ill
kept, half-starved "hat racks" stand
around these baro lots as living monu
ments to man's short-sightedness!
Such cows can drop! calves that will
bo
nothing but tho "scrubbiest of
scrub-?," at best, and the longest pedi
gree on record would be run out in two
or three generations of such treatment.
Thcdairv cow is one of man's best
friends on tho farm, and sentiment if
nothing more should prompt her owner
to supply her with all that is needed for
her welfare during her dry period.
Howard Klein, in Jersey Bulletin.
Firm and Soil Pork.
The difference in the firmness and
want ol firmness m pork is owing in a
very considerable degree to the food fed,
bnt it is also influenced to some extent
by exercise, and more particularly by
exercise given during the growing
period. Beach nuts make a very oily
pork, although it is sweet and well flav
ored. Swine that are fed on beach- nuts
hould be finished with corn, or what is
better, Canada field peas, in order to
make the llcsh firm. Such feeding
should cover a period of not less than
four or five weeks. Likewise peanuts
make an oily pork, and When swine
have fed largely on peanuts, considera
ble attention should be given to feed
some other food, as for instance, cow
Icas or soy beans and corn, in order to
firm the pork.
Tho idea was very prevalent for many
years in tho corn belt of tho United
States, and it still prevails to a consider
able extent, that no fowl can be found
to equal corn in making firm pork. This
idea is not quite correct. 'Experiments
at thh Ontario station at Giudph have
shown that finer pork can be made
when grown largely on mixed grains,
mora particularly peas and barely along
with pasture, and when finished on
these grains a considerable proportion
of corn may also be foJ, more especially
during tho fattening period. The Farm

Paint for Old Barns.
Farmers who have old barns to paint
and cannot afford to pay out tho noces
sary money for a good paint can make
one that looks good by using the follow
ins varieties. Slack ono peck fresh
stono lime, and whilo the liquid is still
rfarm add four ounces of gluo previously
dissolved, ono quart raw linseed oil and
such color as is preferred, stirring it
well togother. This will bo very dura
ble on stono or brick and will not rub
off. White wash or dry color put on
with water is made more durable if var
nished over with raw oil. Another
cheap paint is made by mixing Veno
tian red ground oil with boiled linseed
oil and adding fivo times tho quanity of
crudo petroluoni. Agood whito wash
can bo inndo as follows:! Slack
one-half bushel good stone limo in boil
ing water, kcoping it covered whilo
slacking ; strain and add one-half peck
salt, dissolved in warm wator, thro
pounds ground rico boiled to a thin
paste, one-half pound powdered 8panish
whiting and ono pound clear glue dis
solved in warm wator. Mix it all thor
oughly with the slacked lime and let
stand for several days. Apply as hot aa
possible, with a clean brush. Add dry
pigment to mako any desired color.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they canno
reach the ueccasea portion ol tho ear.
There is only ono way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
ition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachiai. Ttilh?. When this tube is in-
UameJ ... i.avoa rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, and un
less the inriamation can be taken out
and tlii- restored to its normal con
dition, !..: .us will bo destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
iy Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
ilamed condition of tho mucous services.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollors for
