Eugene Guard: Last year, when the average yield of crops in the United States was better than usual, winter wheat fell a little below 15 bushels to the acre. In Germany the yield was 33 bushels to the acre. In this country the spring wheat aver age was about 17 bushels. In the German empire it was above 3 4 bush els. Rye is a great erop in Germany and is little grown in the United States, but the average German yield contrasts with the American much as it does in wheat. This country pro duced 17 bushels to the acre on 2,117,000 .acres. Germany harvested 29 bushels to the acre from 15,223,- '000 acres. ' America did better with oats, but the German average of 47 bushels to the acre for that grain makes the 37-bushel record for the United States look unsatisfactory. In bar ley, again, the figures are decidedly against this country. The German average was 40 bushels to the acre, the American not quite 30, which was high for the. United States. Potatoes make the worst showing of all for American agriculture. The vast German crop, which is bigger than any other food crop raised in any country, with the single excep tion of corn in the United States, averr.ged about 223 bushels to the acre on 8,257,000 acres, or a totai of about 1,800,000,000 bushels, grown on an acreage only a little i.iore than double the 3,711,000 acres the United States used in producing 520, 000,000 bushels, or less than one quarter of the German crop. No authority worthy of notice will contend that Germany is better fitted by nature for good crops than the United States, comments an ex change. The great differences exist ing mean work and care. They stand for cheaper labor than that of Amer ica and more science opplpied to the use of the soil. We don't want the low wages in this country, but for the rest the German empire may well be studied with care and taken to heart. Oh! Oh! "Why do you keep singing?" asked the warden.

Old papers for sale at the Tidings VALEN IS "WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Car With Which England' Standard Ar Preiervsd. Every twenty years government offi cials compare the current weights and measures with the standards, which are Healed up in the staircase of the bouse of commons. There are only two standards, the pound weight and the yard measure. The standard pound Is of platinum, which despite its weight is do larger than a cubic inch, and. small as it is. the metal of which it is composed Id worth 10. The standard yard Is a bar of bronze thirty-eight inches long, on which a yard has been marked off iu tliirty-slx divisions of an Inch. The greatest possible care Is taken of these two important articles. When a comparison Is being made they are handled with tongs. The pound weight Is weighed In the most delicate of chemical balances, and the yard la measured with a micrometer. When they are done with the pound It is wrapped in a special soft paper and laid In a silver gilt case, which Is plac ed in a brouze case, this being put in a wooden box, afterward screwed down and sealed. The yard measure Is plac ed on eight rollers in a mahogany case, which is carefully sealed. Both cases are then put Into a leaden casket, which Is wealed by soldering. The packing Is not yet finished, however, for the lead case is placed In a strong oak box. When this Ls screwed down It Is placed In the bole in the wajl. The wall ls built up by a mason, and the standards can only be obtained by demolishing It once more. London Globe. A HANDICAP IN GOLF. It Was a Rather Mean Advantage, but It Won the Game. An unusual golf handicap was played on one of the local links recently, the proponent of the same winning hands down. One of the rules of golf is that oue must not talk to a player when he is about to make a drive, nor must oth ers discuss any subject In his bearing. It might take his mind off the game for just an Instant, and that might prove fatal. In Kansas City lives a crack but ex tremely nervous golf enthusiast, He had been in the habit of beating a fat and phlegmatic friend until the latter tired of ,It "I'll tell you what I'll do." the friend said not long ago. "I will play you eighteen holes if you will give me a handicap." "Done," said the nervous player. "Name the handicap." "Three times during the game, and not more than three, I am to be per mitted to stand behind you and say 'Bool while you are preparing to drive." Every time It was the uervous man's piny his fat friend walked up and just stood behind him. Never once during the game did the fat man Bay "Boo!" or anything else. But the anticipation at the expected "Boo!" was fairly nerve shattering, and the fat man won hands down. Kansas City Journal. Grant and Lee. In reminiscences of President Grant by Robert M. Douglass, his private sec retary. W the Youth's Companion he says: "One afternoon a tall, handsome man of splendid presence and with a grave, courteous face entered my olllce and modestly announced himself as Robert E. Lee. When I told the president he directed me to bring the distinguished visitor in at ouce. Their meeting was cordial, but apparently their recollec tions brought feelings of saduess to both 'men. The president, with his usual consideration, presented me to General Lee. who knew my family and who greeted me kindly. I expressed my pi ensure at meeting him and then retired from the room. I felt that at such a time no one should intrude. The visit was merely one of courtesy and did not last long. I believe that it was the only time after the war that the two great generals met." Distance of Planets. The distance of the sun and planets from the earth may best be perceived by the following fact: A train of cars going at a mile a minute would reii h the moon in 150 dnys. Veim in I'ft.v years. Mars in seventy-.M. yi rs. Vercury in 110 years, the sun in 173 .veins, Juptter in 740 years, Saturn In 1,470 years. Uranus In 3,100 years, Neptune in 5,033 years. To reach the nearest Axed star our train, steadily maintaining its mile a minute speed, would require about 40,000,000 years. You may rely upon the general accu racy of the above schedule. New York American. Overcome by the Heat. "I hev come to tell yez. Mrs. Malone, that yer husband met with an acci dent." "An what Is it now?" walled Mrs. Malone. "lie was overcome by the heat, mum."

S. artillery officer detailed to instruct that branch of the militia in Oregon, was present, as was Major Knapp of the state military organiza tion. The boys passed a first-class Inspection and are manifesting much interest in the work. Mules for Rural Routes. Wichita (Kan.) Beacon: One of the results of the parcel post will be to increase the burdens of the rural carriers. The rural carrier with his horse and wagon will soon be over whelmed with packages and the hor.je is not equal to the strain. It is believed that the mule will come into his own. For patient en durance in traveling the same road day after day in good weather and bad, the mule has no equal. He seems to realize that he was born to ! a burdensome life. He isn't beauti ful to look upon and, except as to his hind feet, he lacks the rapidity of movement needed to make him 'a field favorite. But when one more ten-pound package must be picked up, after the horse's limit has been reached, the mule will make no protest but re ceive it philosophically. Before many moons, the rural car rier who lacks a mile motor will he the exception, and the mule raiser will become an ally of the parcel post department at Washington. What He Sought.

Washington Times: Hriar root pipes have boen in continuous use in this country for many years, but the general public, even the pipo smok ers, have little idei of how they are made or of the time and attention necessary in their manufacture. The briar which furnishes the root from which the pipes are made is the shrub called tne white heath, or heather, and Is found chiefly, in the south of Italy, on the Island of Cor sica, and in Algeria. The ahrub often grows to a large size, although only the roots are used, In,, the pipe making industry. After the roots have been cleaned of the earth whlcn clings, to them, they are sawed Into blocks of vari ous dimensions, placed In vats and allowed to simmer for 12 hours, which brings out the rich brown color for which the finest pipes are prized. Following this bciling process the blocks are steam dried for two weeks, and then aro sent to the fac tory, where they ere converted into pipes. The blocks aro assorted ac cording to size by experts, are placed on shelves and keut atan even tem perature for ten dr-ys, when they are dried, and then aro sent to the ma chines, where the actual manfacture begins. After the blocks have been trimmed to the prope raize, the up per part of the bowl is turned, then the lower part and stem, and then they are sandpapered. The finishing of the bowls then lakes place.
