He was badly AVhnt 50 Sheep Did tor Polk County Man, This Is a sheep story and R. C. Shepard of Spring Valley, Polk coun ty, about eight miles from" Salem, vouches for Its truthfulness. One year ago Mr. Shepard owned 56 sheep which he valued at $8 a head. T.hat Is, he tried to sell them at this price to a neighbor, but no deal was made and he finally let out 35 head on shares. The first chapter of this story Is to the effect that Mr. Shepard had 56 sheep one year ago, valued at $8 a head, or a total of $448. The second chapter closes the story wherein Mr. Shepard sits down and notes that In one year's time, from those 56 sheep he now has, after sell ing $600 worth of wool and mutton, 25 ewes valued at $12. SO each and 20 lambs worth $9 each, or a total value of $492.50. In other words, he values his small flock of sheep at more than Its worth one year ago and at the same time has as a clear profit $600 for the wool and mutton sold. And If he hadn't let the 35 head out on shares the figures would have been much larger to his credit. Of course the big increase In num ber had much to do with his profit able transactions. He says that his ewes lamber 170 per cent and that he saved 130 per cent, a remarkable record. o Ladies' and Children's llPemps and Strap Oxfords II at Less Than Cost Price nn ttt n t Ladies' ladles' White Canvas Colonial O QC J'uinpa, $3.75, cut to D Ladles' White Rclnskln Cloth Pumps, O Af $.t.co, cut to ' L.Vo Ladies' Mack Patent 2-BuUon O QC I'limps, $3.00, cut to L.O O Ladles' Black Patent 4-Strap Pumps, M $.1.50, cut to L.'tO Ladies' Black Patent 3-Strnp Pumps, O If $3-75, cut to .... , L.IO Iadle' Patent Plain, Front Pumps, Q r $4.00, cut to O.VO Ladles' Dull and Patent Roman Q OC Pumps, $1.00, cut to O.CJ -Children's Big Girls' Gunmetal, Patent and Cas- OOP tor Pumps, $3.50, special CUO Child's Illack Patent Mary Janes, Qp sizes 8H to 11, special 1D Child's ninck Patent Mary Janes, O ir white soles, 5 to 8 $1.75, 8 to 11 LAD Child's White Canvas Mary Janes, lie sizes 2H to 5 05c, 5 Hto 8 1.1 J Child's Black and "White Strap 1 Qp Pumps, sizes 11 H to 2 l.iD Child's Rubber Sole Mary Janes, np sizes 11 )i to 2 DOC Special lot of Baby Shoes, soft soles, OP slightly soiled -0C Don't miss this opportunity to save money.

Try to Forget Your Ache and Pains and the Bad Weather. It was a wise old wit who remarked that if talk about our aches and pains were suppressed a, third of the conver sntlon of civilised life would cease. If to this interdicted subject were added that of unsatisfactory weather another third would be chopped off. It Is amazing to hear humanity de voting so much of the brief time allot ted us here to painfully detailed diag noses of our headaches, backaches, stomach aches and innumerable other miseries. The comical part of it Iks In the sol emn patience with which each listens to the other. lie or she knows, how ever, that his or her turn comes next, and the luxury of unloading sickening accounts of sickness will be ludulged. Many of us are not miserable enough with the pains of the present, but must treasure up the pains of the puat as constantly accumulating reservoirs of misery and borrow them of the future as n debt under which to groiiu and grumble. If we could forget it all and permit others to forget it, throwing open our spiritual side to the boundless bless ings offered it, what a universe of joy and cheer and brightness before uu Keen would He before ua! It Is all a matter of mental turn. We mny shut the shades of tlio windows of our minds on the sunny side and moan in darkness, or we may open the same windows wide and luugb In the sunlight.

By experiments on the digestibility of cheese it has been shown that much depends on the special physical char acters of the food. All fat cheeses are said to be dissolved and digested with great rapidity, because the molecules of casein the nitrogenous part of the cheese are separated only by tho fat, and so the gastric juice can attack a large surface of the cheese at one time. Whether the cheese be hard or soft does not appear to influence digestion, nndYhere Is no connection-between the digestibility and the percentage of wa ter present in the cheese. 1 VINING THEATRE Tiipcriav and HVrtnpcrtav Annnsf 2KI nnrt 22nd Lower floor and front bal. 2oc; upper bal. 15c; Children unrler 12 years fie jj VINING THURSD A Y Famous Russian Singer 11A HEM Assisted by Mischa Pelz Russian Pianist IN ADDITION TO -PHOTOPLAY PROGRAM- essie Barriscale in "THE SNARL" Admission) Lower floor and front balcony 25c, npper balcony ISc, children under 12 years with parents, 5 cents B8U r nrSl Too Economical, "The servant that works for me must be very, very economical," said the boarding house mistress to the ap plicant for work.

Community apple-packing houses are likely to solve the problem of la bor in handling, In a short period, the increasing apple crop of the Pacific northwest. The success of the cen tralized packing plants in 1916, not previously tried to any considerable extent in this region, was indicated by the wide adoption of this plan last season when perhaps one-fourth of the crop In Oregon and Washington was packed in community houses. Investigations of the new enterprise last season conducted by specialists In the Bureau of Markets in the United States Department of Agricul ture, and now published in a prelimi nary report1, make available for Inter ested organizations and Individuals, suggestions as to best methods of con structing, equipping and operating such packing plants. The advantages of the community over the Individual or ranch plan of packing, according to the specialists, are better and more uniform grading and packing, obtaining experienced labor more readily and using inexperi enced labor more effectively, using expensive labor-saving equipment such as sizing machines and gravity conveyors which the small grower could not afford, and simplifying and facilitating of inspection work. The community packing house scheme is new and consequently an unperfected phase of the apple Indus try, Although the Idea was Widely employed last year, Its adaptations were largely experimental. Investi gation by depaitment specialists was undertaken to sift from the various plans tried the best and most eco nomical method of handling apples through all the operations of picking, hauling from the orchard, receiving at the packing house, grading, sizing, packing, storing and loading on the cars. Sixty packing houses at or near Spokane, North Yakima, Wenatchee, Cashmere, Entiat, Pateros, Brewster. Okanogan, Omak and Walla Walla, Wash., and Hood River and Medford, Ore., were Included in the study. Of these 60 houses, 33 were operated as community houses, seven were oper ated by dealers somewhat on the com munity plan, and 20 were ranch houses. Individuals or ranch nack- ing houses and operations were in cluded In the Investigation so that the I efficiency and economy of the two systems might be compared. While the Investigators preferred not to draw definite conclusions from a single season's work, the discus sions of equipment, organization and personnel, a floor unit, general opera tion, and specifically the oneratlons in the typical houses, which make up the report, provide for growers 6f the northwest what should prove a helpful summery of methods that were most successful last year.
