County Clerk hussoll. throtich his reglstra- tlon deputy, Clnude Lee, recently wrote to Attorney General Crawford at Salem, for an opinion In regard to wlfen tho registration books for the primaries In May shall close. The recent decision of the Supremo Court declaring tho new registration law tin constltutlonnl made the law rather confusing and In order to get an ex pression from the attorney-general, Clerk Hussell had Mr, Lee write for. an opinion, i According to the opinion handed down, 14 days will be allowed to pre paro the precinct registers and for wnrd them to the various precincts for tho primary. The permnnent j registration law, according to the at- J torney-genornl, In fixing the primary election for the third Friday In May, repeals nil acts and parts of acts In conflict with It. Deputy Leo asked tho nttorney- gcncrnl two questions, aB follows: , first, ni wnni nine nuu nnic, nuor tho opening of the registration books In January, 1014, would It bo proper to close tho same for the primary I election?

The busi ness of play Is now fairly well es tablished in several hundred cities of tho United States and Canada and Is carried on at an expenditure of mil lions of dollars. This extent of the and leaders to make play and recrea tion wholesome, and efficient Is re vealed In the annual census just tak en by tho Playground and Recrea tion Association of America, whose report was made public today. Ev ery community of over C000 Inhabi tants in this country nnd Canada was readied by letter and over n thous and cities responded with specific re ports on what Is or Is not being done to aid children and adults In their play and recreation. Many Cities Active. Six hundred nnd forty-two cities reported themselves active In tho playground movement nnd ninny others said they wero nllve to needs of this sort and wero working to es tablish piny centers. One of the most satisfactory phases of tho report Is tho showing of growth of munlclpnl support. Less than ever, Is left to private philanthropy, for in 111 cities (tho support Is entirely municipal. There are 115 cities in which tho support Is divided between private which tho work Is supported entirely by prlvnto benefactors. Tho census Is for the year ending November 1, 1913, nnd shows a total expenditure or 15,700,000 In the 312 cities whero playground and recre ation work Is under pnld supervision. This is a gain of over 11,500,000 as compared with tho year 1012. In Jfiht for further funds authorized liond issues are reported In 20 cities to tho total of 12,358.000.

You can not Invest tho samo amount ef money to better ndvnntnge than by purchasing n good disk harrow. The difference In tho working of a rutnway and a solid disk Is that the cutaway penetrates the ground much deeper and throws It up In a much coarser condition than the solid disk The solid disk pulverizes tho soil much better. The double disk harrow Is desirable for farmers who wish to do two disk lngs at the samo time. The front harrow can bo set to out-throw nnd the rear hnrrow to In-throw. This will thoroughly pulverlzo tho soil nnd leave tho Held level, Tho main ad vantngo of tho double disk harrow Is thnt If you desire to use tho regular disk, you can remove the rear attach ment very quickly and easily. This will depend on tho nature of the soil, tho angle given tho disks, and the weight of the man on tho hnrrow. As a rule, It Is not advisable to purchase a disk harrow with moro than eight 16-lnch disks for use on a three-horse farm. Ilermuda grass will probably make superior to the sijnure tyuo of run- Mrtictloii. We are sending you under scrnrato rover our farm barn plans, nnd you will note that there !s n plan for n Fllo.
