He was dictating a de cision of tho United States Court in Cincinnati ono afternoon early In 1900, when a telegram was brought to him from William McKlnloy, then Prosldont, which read: "I shall tako it as' a groat favor if you will call on mo some timo qoxt weok."

FARM LOANS AND INSURANCE Madras State Bank HELP FOR HOMESTEADERS Leniency For Man Trylnfl To Make Home Is Recommended. A radical chango in tho homestead laws that will bo of marked benefit to sotttlors 1b tho plan of Prosldont Taft Leniency for tho man who b trying to mako a homo on idle lands of the state, Included In the various reclama tion projects, is what President Taft wants. Ho intends to modify the law 00 that the Bottler upon land being re claimed need not tako up his resi dence immediately upon filing, but may wait two years before living on his land. During theso two ycara, howover, cultivation must bo carried on. By tho time tho settler must com mence living on his land, he can, by reason of this modification of the law, mako a living from bis farm. This will do away wtlh two weary yearn during which, under the prcsont law. tho homesteader usually finds it ne cessary to live partly on hope. Tho present provision, under which land is to be paid for In ten annual Installments will bo so modified as to allow a patent to be Issued for the land at tho end of five years cultiva tion, and three years occupation. Tho homesteaders generally will wclcomo this change in tho law, re lieving them, as it does, from all en forced residence on tho undeveloped farm lands during the period when it is hardest to make a living. At the end of five years the new law will furnish the settler with a title upon which he can borrow money wltli which to continuo the development of his ranch. JOHN P. JERRY RUSK The Progessive Repub lican Candidate For Congress For Roosevelt and progressive policies against Taft and stand- patism." Always a true friend of the Oregon System. The only candidate for Congress who dares to oppose the Taft admin istrationjand the old time politi cal machine. Pd. Ad. Hard on the Other On. Ono hot summer day a Kentucky h?ftu stonued at a florist's to order a box of flowers sent to his lady love. At tho same time he also purchased a de sign for tho funeral of a friend, un the card for bia girl's box he wrote, "Hoping these may help you bear the heat" The other card bore the one word, "Sympathy." Very soon the girl telephoned. "Thank you so much for tho flowers, but why did you write 'Sympathy on the card?" There was no word from the other card. Fellows In DUtreis. An efficient woman principal of a New York grammar school, though de void of good looks and bearing the marks of long service in her profes sion, still retains the charm of a de lightful frankness. One day while watching the pupils pass out of her building two by two, as usual, she no ticed one boy marching alone, with his arm to his eyes, sobbing tumultously. In answer to her solicitous inquiry aa she drew him from the line the little fellow wailed, "I I haven't g-got no pardnerl" The principal extended a prompt and sympathetic hand. "Shake, dear boyj shake!" she invited. "I haven't el t"r" .

President Taft believe that th business of the Amorican people, which la tho United States govern ment can be run moro economically. He expect an economy commission will point out ways to effect a consid erable aaring In many of the depart- menU. ' The three yearn of President Taft' administration has proved that ecoa omy is quite possible and th ret dent ha practised the new pollay1 aae cossfully. Upon taking office, Pres ident Taft warned every cabinet mem ber, as well aa the heads of bureaus, that they would be held Individually responsible for cutting the expendi tures under their control. On July 1st, 1909, the Taft adl istratlon faced a deficit of $B,oMk One year later, this deficit had e changed into jk surplus of $H,0M and by July lot 1911, the aurflua ha4 risen to $47,000,000. The Borasal la crease of Federal expenditure H tbout 4 per cent each year. Yet the expenditures, which were ?662.000,0o during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, shrunk within the following year to $654,000,000, an actual decrease la stead of the normal Increase. Perhaps the best known eeeaeaa? effected waa the wiping eut e frfce annual deficit in tho Postal Der ment and another waa the ellmlHtiw of wide-spread frauds in the customs service.

PAYNE ACT TOO LITTLE UNDERSTOOD Critlos of Administration Are Not Informed as tt lis Provisions. Someone said that when Roosevelt left the White House and went to Africa to shoot lions, he left a white elephant "on the hands of President Taft'a administration in the tariff. Someone said Roosevelt then predict ed that the tariff would break the political back of his successor. This la presumably nothing more thaa fa ble and folk lore. Certain it la however, that the Taft administration has had a whole let to contend with in carrying out the plat form pledge to revise the existing tariff schedules. The admlnistratlaa has been abused for the Payne TaxiS biU and it is safe to Bay that very few among the many who decrie4 the passage of this bill in its final tona. had any knowledge of the biU ax ita provisions. Other administrations than that of President Taft have had trouble with the tariff; what one has not? President Taft was sharply criti cised for the Winona speech whoa he declared the Payne Tariff bill waa the best ever passed. Critics of the pres ident were quick to use this agalaat the administration, despite the fact that thla speech waa very hastily pre pared and not given the consideration Looking Backward.
