WILL CONDUCT GRAIN DUST EXPLOSION CAMPAIGN" United States Wheat Director, Julius H. Barnes, will conduct an active grain dust explosion cam paign during the coming year, to prevent lota by fire and explosion In grain mills and elevators. At his re quest, the United States Bureau of Chemistry has detailed Dr. E. H. Trlceand Mr. George W. Brown, -with a staff of experienced men, to conduct this campaign thruout tho country. The United States Grain Corpora tion believes that there, muBt be u more complete understanding of th cauRes of explosion end the means of prevention, In order to protect Us own stocks scattered broadly thruout the country, it baa ltecn .demonstrated that grain dust and flour, when mixed in cer tain proportions of air and exposel to a spark, explodes like gasoline In a cylinder, and many of the mot de structive elevator and mill fires have been traced to this cause. Demonstrations of the explosive quality of this apparently harmless duBt will he given by these experts, together with practical illustrations of preventive measures. Some of the "Safety First"' rule re as follows: 1. Construct the plant of ' fire proof material. 2t Keep the plant clean and free as possible of accumulations of dust. 3. Install an efficient dust collect ing system. 4. Prevent the use and production f flames and sparks of any kind. 6. Prohibit smoking and carrying of matches. ' 6. Install some improved system of protection against fire. 'Employees of mills and elevators will be instructed in the necessity for precaution. Any kind of dust containing carbon explodes under favorable conditions, and among thesa are grain dust and flour dust. Consequently, dust accumulations must not be permitted on beams, machines, pulleys or floors. Open flames, smoking and friction of ma chinery must be carefully guarded against. Crater Lake Travel Breaks All Records The Crater Lake tourist season continues to break all records and if the present ratio of gain over the attendance of other years keeps up it Is estimated that the total atten dance of visitors at the lake this sea son will number at least 20,000, says the Med ford Mall Tribune.

FIRST SETTLERS IN GEORGIA James Oglethorpe Leader of Colonists Who Had Homes Where Now Is City of Savannah. The first white settlers In Georgia landed nt Ynmacrnw bluffs, on the site of the future city of Savannah. ISO years ago, and the event Is now an nually commemorated as "Georgia day," James Oglethorpe was the lead er of the colonists, who made the trip from England in the good ship Ann, commanded by Capt. John Thomas, and the party Included 35 families, besides General Oglethorpe and Rev. Thomas Bosomworth. Through Mary Mus grave, the Indian wife of a Carolina white man, the colonists obtained the consent of the Creeks to establish a settlement, Mary acting as Interpreter, accounts say. Just a week later the first house was commenced ond the settlement that sprang up on the spot later became the city of Savannah. It is noteworthy that Hebrews were among the first settlers In Georgia. Forty Jews were sent out to the col ony and reached Savannah in the July following Oglethorpe's landing. A government was soon organized and one of the first acts' of the trustees, passed In August of 1733, was to pro hibit rum In Georgia. Before the iear was passed a party of Saxons arid an other of Bavarians reached Georgia. Fellow-Belnfli. ' in that simple and beautiful recud of a holy life, the Journal of Jofen Woolman, there Is a passage of width I have been more, than once reiuludsd in my Intercourse with my fellow beings: "Some glances of real beauty may be seen in their faces who dwll la true meekness. There Is a dlvlje harmony in the sound of that voice to which divine Love gives utterance" Quite the ugliest face I ever saw was that of a woman whom the world calls beautiful. . . . On the other hand, there are faces which the multitude at the first glance pronounce homely, un attractive, and such as "nature fash ions by the gros?" which I always rec ognize with a warm heart-thrill; pot for the world would I have one feat ure changed; they please me as they are ; they are hallowed by kind memo ries; they are beautiful through their associations; nor are they any the less welcome that with my admiration of them "the stranger Intermeddleth not." Whlttier. Merely Changed Mutlo. Bow bands were once sometimes re cruited for the navy is suggested by an old tale of maritime warfare. When the frigate United States captured the British frigate Macedonian, about a hundred years ago, it also captured a band of eight French, German' and Italian musicians. The band had first put to sea in a French frigate, which was captured by a Portuguese vessel and brought into Lisbon. There the musicians had been persuaded to en list on the Macedonian. After their ennture bv the United States one judges that they played just as cheer fully for American snllormen as they had. already played for French, Por tuguese, and British. vristlcn f Dmlcitc. Dialects of variation in dpoken lan guages are the result of peculiarities of speech, first Involuntarily adopted by individuals and then perpetuated and extended by the unconscious imi tation of others. They are not pre meditated or assignable to any definite cause, except the constant tendency of language to become diversified. The same causes that have produced differ ent languages among different nations tend to produce dialectic variations In the language of every nation. The results are apparent, but the cause cannot be defined. SEX. CHAMBER LAIN , . PLEADS VOll ITALIAN Clemency is asked ..by..

A large number of thunderstorms occurred In various parts of Oregon hut the amount of rainfall general ly was-too small to be of benefit to crops, to quench forest fires or to seriously delay farm work. Many for est fires were started by-lightning. Water for irrigation Is . becoming- scarce in many localities. Harvest of spring wheat and oats Is progressing except In the roor elevated districts,. .
