PARIS POLICE
Sentenced to Two Weeks in
.Prison He Substitutes
a "Double."
By Paul Vllliers.
-Paris, Sept- 12. To aerve . a short
. . time In prisrfn by proxy waa the bright
: idea, of a Paris commercial traveler, but
unluckily for him the scheme did not
please the court - ,
When summons to serve two weeks
In a cell In the Sante prison reached M.
.. Dupro he eent for a. poor wretch . who
1 -was only too - glad- to have his meals
and bed assured for two weeks and to
" receive a handsome present besides.
The drummer offered him 10 francs,
a new suit -of clothes and board and
' lodging for one month after his dis
charge rrom me prison, ine proposi
r tlon was accepted with enthusiasm and
.. the . tramp declared it waa a pity there
, waa not enoueh customers all the year
round for whom he could do little terms
In nrisnn.
v. M. Dupre handed him all the neces
aary papers and with these the man
was rfulv admitted and asslirned to
cell ,in the Sante prison. When he came
out after two weeka he declared he had
. had a rather pleasant time and waa
-. prepared to enjoy still better fare xor
month at ihA drummer's exnense.
Unfortunatclv the secret leaked oat
'The police learned that the drummer
had been attending to his business as
iianal rinrina- hf aunnosed lmDrlSOn
v ment and. as he could not be In prison
. and out of it at tne same time, tney in
miired.
The result was that ' tha drummer
' . has now- received a second summons to
. spend two weeks In prison and thla
time care will be taken to see that he
goes - there in person, while hla prox;
an the other hand, finds himae
'charged with "usurpation d'etat civil,
that is to say, usurping another per
son's civil status, which here in Franc
may prove a tremendous offense.

A "motor plough," not intended for
agricultural purposes, but to dig
- . trenches in rase ef war. has been in
- vented by a young engineer, M. Blester,
nnrt hnueht hv the war deoartment.
The machine, which Is horse-drawn
on the road, consists of an ordinary
arun-carriaee. to which is coupled the
motor plough proper. When the plough
Is put In- use on ground in wnicn
tranrh la to he due. a lever lowers
. ahflra and starts tha motor, which then
'propels the vehicle, the horses being
reauired only to guide It. Tne engine
t Via nm time eets in motion a fly-
wheel weighing 160 pounds, armed with
four ateel maaes ana turning- m mo
rate of 1,000 revolutions a minute. The
motor, which la of four cylinders and
' 100-horsepower, spends only 10 per cent
of ita energy in propelling me piougn
'the remainder being used for the exca-
;vatin. nnnnratua.
The ploughshare having drawn the
.furrow, the revolving bladea dig the
trench, and spades and a harrow, also
moved by the tnotoa. throw up tne cirt.
k The flywheel by It weight and veloc
ity is powerful enough to turn up the
hardest soiL Th macmn is capaoie,
while traveling at six miles an hour,
of digging a trench three feet deep and
nearly six feet wide and throwing up
corresponding earthworks some three
feet high. ' . ;
Th penny-ln-the-slot machine has
been adopted for use In the medical pro
frwfflon by a well known Paria phyai
clar. of the newer school that la not
afraid of advertising. In this new and
improved form of apparatus the slot
'is for E, 10 and 30 franc piecea, while
the machine proper consists of a human
figure of iron, enameled in various
colors. t

Own a Ten Acre Roseburg Orchard
A 10-acre orchard will actualljrproduce every year an income of
$5,000 when once in bearing. There is no decupation you can select
that pays as good returns,, with the same amount of labor involved,
as raising fancy fruit. More than four months of the year no work
is required) while the hardest work is light as compared to general
farming. .
Invest $25 a Month to Earn $5000 a Year
This is an opportunity to invest $25 a month of your salary in
something within your reach. Our development plan for non-residents
relieves you of personal management of your land. Your an
nual income after the fifth year will be from $4,000 to $5,000. These
figures are actually borne out by the experience of many men in the
Umpqua Valley.
Have a Home in Fertile Umpqua Valley
, -The Umpqua Valley Is the cent etof the great fruit belt of the
state. Rich bottom land, which ( will raise fruit9 and vegetables- with
out irrigation. Average annuar'rainfair.35 inches. This is the earli
est fruit belt in Oregon, and top prices are obtained in Portland and
other markets for early vegetables and berries. The scenic beauty of
this locality is not excelled on the Pacific cdast.
An Orchard With an Income the First Year
Inter-tree development yields a good income at once. Potatoes
alone will yield $150 net per acre each year, which will more than pay
for your land before the trees come into bearing. The land is ready to
cultivate. No trees, no stumps, no brush, and the price is less than is
asked for uncleared land in the more extensively advertised localities.
We Will Plant Your Trees arid Develop Your Property
If you are not ready to live upon land and develop it for yourself, we will set out your trees, plant can
taloupes and vegetables between the trees, furnish the seed and labor absolutely free of cost to you, market
the produce and at the end of the season pay you half of the profits. We have an orchardist of twenty
years' experience who will superintend this work, and a member of this company will be on the ground
keeping in close touch with the situation. The soil of this valley is of such great depth that it has been
proven that inter-tree development does not detract from the growth and vigor of the trees. One half of the
profits of this development plan ought to pay for a tract in two years, set out the trees, and provide a profit
besides. . . -
