THE MODERN RANK Progressive banking as carried on today Is one of the greatest forces for industrial development in any community,. The oll style banker who merely profited by the necessities of others Is a thing of the past. He can't do business in competition with modern methods. The present day successful bank manager is a builder. He studies the opportunities of a community and assists in bringing in capital to develop latent' resources. ' ' ' Banking today I applying scien tific business principles to the band- ling of money, not merely for tho enrichment of an Individual who has the money to loan but for the de velopment of a banking business as on industry In the territory it serves J The modern bank prospers by the success and growth of Its customers, not by failures and sheriff's sales. Bunking today is done out in the open and not behind closed doors.

SMALL POTATO YIELD IS DUE TODISKA.SK Disease and not run out seed stock is at the root of the little potato problem In Oregon. These diseases may be carried in the seed, in the ground or by Insects. Leaf curl and mosaic, both of which prevent the the plant foods ordinarily manufac tured In the leaf from reaching the tuber, are the worst forms of the trouble. Spindle sprout, tho not a parasitic disease, likewise causes Im mense losses in yield. All these are more or less preveutlble. The agri cultural college experiment station will soon undertake control under the direction of IL P. Barss, plant pathologist. THE CALL TO SERVICE There is much talk going on in the country now by seers and others who are preaching radical changes in government. What is the matter with our present government?

Market James Barrett, Prop. Phone 18S ty. To change It, aa advocated by some, would be (o disregard these splendid privileges, no matter how pure a theory some forms of gov ernment, such as Socialism, may be based upon. History has taught us that the administration of these Is not American In the fac that 'the principles or our constitution are disregarded. The Bolsheviks of Rua sla and the It .Wi. W.'s of America are one and the same thing all dis regarding rights of property, person al security and personal liberty. To what lengths they have gone in Rus sia in the disregard of person?.! se curity and liberty is well known There Is nothing American In this. The American people do not need a new form of government, hut rather they do need to awake to the true signs of the times, namely, tho call to service in the highest 'sence of the word.' " ' GUARDIANS OP DEMOCRAT As the tendency of our govern ment Is .towards aristocracy,' the encroachment of our rulers on the constitutional rights of the people will never be viewed, in silence.

ALL' BOW TO MY LORD TIGER NitlvM of the East Most Willingly Accord. Him Royal Rank Is . 8acred From Attack. Of all the animals deified In the East niuie Is regarded with more awe than my lord tiger. Especially throughout Slnm and Indo-China, the tiger Is king. Shrines are built and sacrifices lumle to hlin; he Is ns sacred from the at tack of the nntives as Is tho white ele phant of Slnm. If there are fewer tigers In this part of the East today, It is due largely to the efforts of western xirtsnicii who occasionally can persuade, bribe, or threaten a few natives to nld them In n hunt. Any such lack of respect m the part of the natives 'Is, however, looked upon fiownlngly by their neigh bors who seem to fear thnt the tiger will forget tho exact Individual who attacked him and remember only the coiiniiunlty. Native reverence f;nes so far as to allow a tiger i to prowl undisturbed about a village night lifter night, at tacking and sometimes killing those so unfortunate as to cross his path. In the day the sacred beast retire to his mountain domain, where he stays en tirely hidden until nightfall. Jt Is obvious that the royal tiger rules entirely by fear. Awe-Inspiring lie is himself, and his supremacy Is helped along by the attitude of the natives. To the tiger ard attributed all manner of supernatural powers. It Is held that he always knows and tracks down those who offend him ; he can even turn himself Into n human being, the better to seek out his ene mies. , FIRST OF MODERN PUGILISTS Jack Broughton, Englishman, Nearly Two Hundred Years Ago, Formu lated Rules to Govern Sport ' Jack Broughton, the father of pu glllsm, fought his first fight on July 0. 1725. He whs engaged In many rough and-tumble fights with other Inds, but at that time he knew nothing of box ing, which was Just being introduced by James Klgg. While attending a fair Broughton was attracted by a box Ing booth kept by Figg and was much Incensed bv the foul tactics used by a big man in boxliig a much smaller one. He remonstrated with the big bruiser and an alFercatlon ensued which hud readied the stage of fisti cuffs when Flgg Interfered and Invited the two men to the stage to settle their differences. Young Broughton, after ten desperate rounds, completely tri umphed over bis older, bigger and more experienced opponent. That was Broughton's introduction to the ring, After Figg's death he became cham pion and by formulating a code of rules to govern the game be became entitled to rank as the founder of modern pugilism. Origin of the "Foolscap." The foct that the British govern ment, on economy bent, has discon tinued the use of foolscap paper for official correspondence, has called forth a ndld discussion as to the origin of the name. Most authorities are agreed that it Is due to (lie water mark, fool's cap, with which tills size of paper was adorned, but when it comes to the question of who first In troduced It authorities differ. Some say It comes friira Germany, and point to the fact that German paper, herr ing a foolscap watermark, and dating from 1471), was exhibited In 1877. Others credit the claims of Sir John Splelmun, who had paper mills ut Dartford toward the close of the six teenth century. And yet others lay It all to un order made by the rump parliament which enjoined that the royal arms In the watermark be re moved from the official paper of the house, and "a fool's cap and bells be substituted." Llberlan Hippos. The Llherlun hippos do not live In dense forests; they do liot frequent the rivers. A smnll forest stream sat isfies them, but they do not enter It, at least by day. They burrow Into Its bauks, wherever there has been a wushout, and In these burrows they sleep during the daylight hours. ' So It Is very dlffcult to trace them. The first specimen thnt was seen could not he' caught, because all the native cur riers were sick, and the whole country was so flooded by rains thnt Schom burgk, famous hunter, could not camp therein. After trying various ways to capture the shiny little beasts, Schom bnrgk succeeded ' by digging pits whereby they were entrapped on their nightly strolls through the forest. New York Herald. To Remove Paint Stains. To remove paint from cloth, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, Iny n pad of blotting paper on the side of the material on which the paint fell, and rub tho other side gently with n soft piece of flannel dipped In chloro form or benzol, both ot which are paint solvents. ; As J he paint dissolves it naturally passes Into the' most ab sorbent material in contact with It which Is blotting paper not Into the adjacent elolh. Deep stains can bo completely removed by this method. The Winning Team Help3.

Friday, August 8, 1019 WIDE DIVERGENCE IN fACD ' "; . ; . f People of Paelflo Islands Furnish Something of a Study for the Ethnologist , The presence of two distinct races id man In the Pacific islands suggests two periods and sources of Immlgra- ' tlon. says a bulletin of the N'utlonul Geographic society. The Papuans anc Polynesians nppeur to show the widest divergences, with the Mlcroneslnns oc cupying the Intermediate ground ami possessing ufllnitlcs of race, language, and custom with the other two. The Papuans may be generally salt) to inhabit New Guinea, the Solomons, New ' Caledonia and FIJI. They nro Inellglons, democratic, quarrelsome, 'nnnllinllstlc, and hostile to strangers. They paint their bodies rather thu wear clothes, cook In earthen pots, and thilr fpeech consists of u num ber of broken dialects. The Polynesi ans differ widely from tho Papuans. They pusso-a an elaborate religion-) -system, un established order of he reditary chiefs and well-defined so clal castes. They ure fond of dress, are friendly to strangers, are good sea men and navigators, and tatoo Instead of scar'thelr bodies, and seldom prac tice cannibalism. They ulso possess a common language, unilerstniidubio throughout New Zealand, Hawaii, Sa moa, Taliltl mid the Puumotu Islands. SET THEIR MINDS AT EASE Cases Are Numerous Where Wrong doers, After Many Years, Make Restitution to Show Regret The sting of conscience Is not al ways dulled by the lapse of time. There Is no more bitter penalty than to spend one's life with an accusing conscience, no more unpleasant mem ory than of a wrong done. That is particularly true wJiere It Is in the power of the Individual to repair the wrong, to show by restitution that re gret is real. Conscience money ts frequently re ceived by Individuals and corporations. There may be times when payments come from Individuals who are mental ly nflllcted, but In many cases where payments could be traced back they were made to ease an accusing con science, to right a wrong of years ago. There are other individuals who do not use mystery, but who come out Iu the open and pay debts long since out lawed,' many times forgotten There are stories of these belated payment frequently printed, the last one coming from North Dakota, where a man paid a debt nearly thirty years old. He not only paid the debt but he paid Interest to date and cleaned the transaction up as a man ought to do. Ohio State Journal. When Lawyers Strike. Lawyers, as well as policemen, have beeu knowu to strike. Some years ag the barristers practising In Sierra Leone were so dissatisfied with the Judge who was acting as substitute for the chief Justice while the latter was on leave that they unanimously elected to give up pleading before him. Legal business In the colony , was, therefore at n standstill until the chief justice returned. France, too,' affords an In stance of a legal strike. One of the Judges at St. Amand accused the local, lawyers of deliberately promoting dis-' putes In order to fill their pockets With tees. Thereupon all the lawyers in court departed In a body, declaring that they would not return until tills Insulting statement had been with- drawn. Eventually the Judge apolo gised, and the lawyers resumed prac tice. Good Players. The boys bad been playing ball all the morning on the vacant lot next' door. Often there were many argu ments but always they were settled and the game progressed. At noon, mother reproached Tom for his part In them. "What would you think If mother would quarrel with her friends as you dor she asked. "But yon can't 'cause you women aren't good players," Tom explained carefully. "When yon get mad over something you Just resign.- A good player qunrrels It out and then goes back to the game like we fellows did this morning." And the mother had no answer. Man's Adam's Apple. "Scientists are Inclined to accept. the theory," says John Walker Har rington In Popular Science Monthly, "that man came by long descent from-Ill-formed, spineless things that came to life by chemical action, probably In some tepid mineral spring, and found their way to tho ocean. Then came the fish, which, as soon ns they got backbones, began to develop something like Adam's npples. A man without an Adam's apple would be a poor fish. ' From the primitive forms' of the an-' dent sens are believed to have come the mammals, from which spring the human race. It Is a long story." ' Bedouins Resist Civilization. ' The Bedouin tribes of North Africa' are perhaps as Impervious o the In fluence of modern civilization ns any P"nple1n the world. - .Since the French ool; cofTtrtil of North' Africa these -wild tribes have been, supposedly, under military discipline and guardianship, hut they. have maintained their own tribal organizations nod almost com plete independence, so far as their actual lives nre concerned. , They follow tho traditions of Is lam and their , dwellings, their fur nishings (which nre few and far be tween) and their clothing date back a to the days of the Bible. . .
