working for less than a full week are
to receive a pro rated wage; 4. e., at
least $1.37 a day and proportionately
for parts of a day.
b In occupations where payment
is made by piece rate, the piece rate
must be so regulated that "the aver
age ordinary worker" may earn at
least $8.25 in a 54-hour week.
2. The maximum weekly hours
shall be 54. The maximum hours for
any day are fixed by the state law at
10.
3. In some occupations sufficient
experience may be had in a few days
or a few weeks to warrant the weekly
wage of $8.25. In case employers in
such occupations fail to establish vol
untarily a reasonable term for experi
enced workers, the commission will
call conferences and fix appropriate
terms of experience. The present rul
ing simply Indicates that In no occu
pation will more than a year's experi
ence be required. In case several
months' experience is required, It
would be in accord with the purpose
of the law to have a gradual step-up
in the rate of wages from the begin
ner's wages until the rate of $8.25 a
week is reached.
4. It Is not Intended to include in
the order for 8:30 p. in. dismissal
any occupation the very nature of the
service of which requires night work.
Recognized Advantages.
You will find that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has recognized advan
tages over most medicines in uho for
coughs and colds. It does not sup
press a cough, but loosens and re
lieves It. It aids expectoration and
opens the secrotlons, which enables
the system to throw off a cold. It
counteracts any tendency of a cold to
result In pneumonia. It contains no
opium or other narcotic, and may be
given to a child as confidently as to
an adult. For sale by all dealers.

Demonstration Train
Coming Next Week
i
In its effort to co-operate with the
people along its lines the Southern
Pacific Company is bringing a great
hog and dairy demonstration train to
this city Thursday, February 12, and
is especially anxious that every farm
er of this vicinity take advantage bf
the opportunity lo inspect the exhtblts
carried on the seven cars of the train
and listen to the lectures which will
be given in double doses. Lectures
on dairying and hog growing will be
carried on at the same time in differ
ent parts of the train. The train will
be at the depot between the hours of
7:30 a. m. and 9 a. m. Flat cars
are used for exhibiting the stockv,, .
There has never been a time when
the development of these industries
was of more interest to the people of
Oregon. Live hogs are commanding
the highest price in history, while
there Is a general shortage of meat
animals all along the line. Butter
fat is selling at an average of 33
cents per pound, but notwithstanding
that fact Oregon is a large importer
o fbutter. It has been conclusively
shown that eastern Orego nis ideally
located for the growing of hogs and
for operating the most profitable
dairies In the world.
Oregon Agricultural College is
sending Dr. Withycombe, Professors
Hetzel, Graves, Potter and Barr as
lecturers, while the arain is carrying
a large selection of the best animals
produced at the college farm. All of
them are used in demonstrations.
Commercial Club
Meeting Tonight
The Commercial Club will meet
Monday night at 7:30 for the trans
action of routine business, and, on
account of the exercises at the arm
ory, will adjourn until Tuesday night.
Owing to the fact that there are mat
ters of vital Importance to the whole
community to be acted on, the meet
ing will be held in Dreamland Thea
tre and will be thrown open to all
citizens, women as welt as men, and
a large and representative attend
ance is desired. One matter that
roust be determined at this time is
what Ashland will do for the state
exhibit, if located here. We must go
to Eugene ready to answer this ques
tion and it is for all citizens to de
cide. Rural Carrier ICxaminatlon.
There will be an examination for
rural mall carriers at Medford, Satur
day, February 28, 1914. Thl ex
amination Is for carriers In Jarkfon
county and Is open to resident be
tween the ages of 18 and 51. The
maximum age is waived In "ane of
persons honorably discharged from
the U. 8. military or naval service.

International Exposition Co.
Will Enforce
Commission Plan
Prosecuting Attorney Kelly is go
ing to proceed against all commission
houses in Jackson county who have
not state licenses, says the Mail Tri
bune. The law requires that they
pay an annual license of $5 per year
and that they furnish a surety bond
for the protection of those consign
ing them produce.
While good in principal and aim
the law may work hardship. It Is
not unusual for local storekeepers to
take fruit or produce which is not
staple, and pay the farmer if they
sell it, otherwise return it. What
effect the law will have on this is
problematical. If the merchant gives
the farmer all he receives, either in
credit or cash, then probably he
would not come under the law. Oth
erwise, it is bound to work hardship
here at home, though protecting, in a
measure, the shipper to the cities.

NAPOLEON'S BAD OMEN.
He Was Superstitious, and His Pre
sentiment Came True.
Napoleon the Great was exceedingly
aiHr8titioiis. The following Is told
w one of the illtistnitlous of this:
When Napoleon, in the spring of
17'JiJ. was lying before Acre he was
duxious for news fivni upper Egypt,
whither he had dispatched Dessaix in
pursuit of a distinguished MameluUe
leader. Not ninny days after n cour
tier arrived with favorable dispatches,
favorable in the main, but repniling
Due tragical occiii-retire on a huuiII
scale that to Napoleon outweighed the
public prosperity.
The commander as n brave man felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be belter than to fall into the bauds
of the enemy, lie set tire to the pow
ier magazine. The vessel blew up
snd the crew perished.
For all this Napoleon cared little,
but one solitary fact that was In tho
report which struck him with secret
alarm this ill fated boat was called
L'ltalie. and in the name of the vessel
Napoleon read uti augury or the fate
which had befallen the Italian terri
tory. Fie felt certain that Italy was
lost, nnd Napoleon was inconsolable.
But what possible connection, it was
asked, can exist between tills vessel
on the Nile nnd n remote peninsula of
southern Europe? "No matter." re
plied Napoleon, "my presentiments
never deceive me. You will see thnt
all Is ruined. I am satisfied that my
Itnly. my conquest. Is lost to France."
So, indeed. It was. New York Press.
CHAMPION LAZY PEOPLE.
Kongo Gluttons Who Do Little Else
Than Sleep and Eat.
According to M. Fiiedmann. a Ger
man traveler nnd historian recently re
turned from the Kongo, there Is a tribe
of natives down In one of the Interior
parts of that region actually so stuffed
all of the time with food, three or four
times as much ns they have any need
of. that they nre continually In a dull
and almost unintelligent stupor.
They do little besides sleep and eat
They are too lazy to do any individual
hunting, and It Is the disliked and un
popular member of the family that is
forced to do the food providing for the
relatives. The women are quite as lazy
as the men and work only when it la
absolutely necessary to eat
The only time when the natives
rouse themselves Is at marriage or at
death. Both of these occasious are cel
ebrated by eating more than on ordi
nary occasions even, and the after ef
fects of both events are often disas
trous, ns one or two of the party are
sure to eat so much as to be seriously
and often fatally sick, whlcb only
means nnotber celebration of a differ
ent kind. ,
The few missionaries, who have pen
etrated the interior sufficiently far to
meet with' these tribes own to their be-'
lug practically hopeless as far as any
regenerating Is concerned. They seem
to have beeu stupefied through the
centuries and to have become utterly
degenerate and useless members of so
ciety. Chicago Tribune.
A 3ingle Line Poet.
Every man bus the streak of poetry
in him, and probably every man could
write one line of poetry out of his life,
as any man has one novel in himself
But we were talking at large the other
day. and a man quoted the line "A
rose red city half as old as time " And
then came the questiou. Who wrote
that Hue that everybody knows? Ou
man said it referred to Damascus. But
no oue knew who wrote lt.
There are single line poets as there
are "Single Speech" II a mil tons, aud
here Is perhaps the only Instance In
which the "Ncwdlgate prize poem at
Oxford has produced a living line, for
the author was the lie v. J. W. Uurgon,
who won the prize iu 184.1 and doubt
less recited portions of his poem in the
Sheldonian theater. But that allusion
to I'etra. the Arabian rock city, has

opera When it wus first performed it
was noticed that the music was very

MANAGERIAL ABILITY.
If You Think You Possess It Here Is
a Test You Might Try.
Any one who has to manage men or
things must be able quickly to bring
order out of confusion. Test your
friend's talent In this respect by writ
ing on your paper five words of a spe
cial class, such ns the names of five
flowers or of five animals or of five fa
mous poets, with the first letter always
In the right place, while the order ef
the other letters is changed.
The persou on whom you are experi
menting knows only to which class the
words belong whether they are the
names of animals or of flowers or of
Itoets. See how long it takes him t
write the five correct words in place of
the misspelled ones.
The animal card may read, "Tetrul,
etalenph. dykeno, serdlp. galliro," and
the vegetable card. "Vellto, dlloffa.
melap, moroshmu. cnttnesh." Some
persons will be able to read at once.
"Turtle, elephant, donkey, spider. g
rillu." aud the other card. "Violet, daf
fodil, maple, mushroom, chestnut"
Others who have no talent for rear
ranging the elements of a confused sa
nation will stare at the words, unable
to make any sense of them. Hngo

Oriental Gems.
All gems of the flnast quality, irre
spective of the part of the world from
which they come, are generally spoken
of as "Oriental," because the supply of
precious stones came only from the
east for many centuries; and when
mines were discovered hi the west. It
was at first assumed that the stones
were inferior. "Occidental" Is the
term applied to iuferior stones to this
day.
On the other hand. "Oriental topaz."
"Oriental emerald" und "Oriental ame
thyst" are really all mipphlres, and are
given these names ouly on account ef
their color.
The Old School Slate.
Remember the old school slates,
bound In rod flannel to prevent the
noise of slute rattling that used to be

found how to muffle them? Stores
selling school supplies used to carry

day In a room that did not see a slate
or two broken; but where nre they all
now? Since the boards of health de
cided tbut they were insanitary and
decreed against them the whole trilte
has disappeared. Columbus Dispatch.
