Farm help .Is lower in price; taxes haven't dropped a quarter of an inch, but the prices of cars is lower, and that helps a lot. ' . Milk has held up almost to war prices, though cream and butter and cheese are all well below, the war peak. Cheese went ap'to as high as 45 cents for the best Ore' gon brick or fall cream :heese daring the war, and butter was up as high as 75 or even 80 centa. Milk 'however, never ga&above 14 Cents a .quart, it. is believed. It still tells at 11 cents for the very . lowest price of milk that! fa called for at the stations, up to a considerably higher price for de livered and select milk. The dairy price of $6.90 per month for two quarts, delivered, is quite gener ally followed; this is better than 11 cents a quart. Cheese now sells at from 25 to 30 cents a pound, at reail; with some select brick cheese running np to 35 cents. The dairy prices in general however, have reconciled ; many good ! Oregon farmers to paying loganberry pickers 2 cents pound for picking 3 .1-2 cent ber ries. With so1 many laborers; to buy butter and milk and cheese at good prices, it keeps the money ii circulation and everybody has a good time. ,. A slight drop in dairy prices is predicted, en the ground that the present prices s are above i a fair average schedule for wages and general living costs. Dairymen agree that 50 cent butter is about all that the country in general can stand. With butter up to that price, the substitute butters come into the market by ship- oads, and inevitably bring the butter price down to a level that the buying public can reach. -,f It is generally agreed that . 50 cents is, the limit that butter cnn reach, without bringing in, 'there' substitutes in enormous tanantii ties, even in a dairy state, like Or egon. With, sawmill wages on a general basis of about $3. to I3.S0 day, and with paper mills and roads and other general labor jora paying an average or even less. butter at more than 50 cents puts only cocoanut and cottonseed and oleo and other substitute butters on the average table at from 3 to 30 cents a pound and the but ter market jakes a header. 4 RO Z if.

"They're running true to form," Dicky grumbled, at one stop where there was not a sign of life to be seen in any direc tion. "They're stopping at every pig pen and chicken coop along the way.

Alfred and Leila are holding hands in the drawing room of the Fairfax sis ters, chaperoned by Ed:th, who. in self-protection looks out of the window most of the time. That girl will be a wreck by the time this wedding is pulled off. I never taw anybody look so bored and miserable in my life." A vague shadow flitted over the roseate sky of my comfort. Too well I knew the secret springs of Edith Fairfax's discontent. .That it was torture for her to look on at her sister's happiness and to contemplate the hopeless ness of her own feeling for Dicky I strongly suspected, and I won dered J miserably if my husband had an7 glimmering of the truth. I decided quickly in the negative, however,- for Dicky is distinctly not a coxcomb. "Her Flutfiness." Dicky went on, amusement dancing in his eyes, "is having the time of her young life running things gener ally. She staged the breakfast out or old Grant's hamper in her own rtateroom when they vacat ed yours on the double quick for your majesty, and ever since she's Baggage Truck With Equip ment Leaves for Cascadia Boys Follow Soon At 5 o'clock this morning, the Boy Scouts' baggage train, con sistine of n. mountainous true! and a working force of camp makers, will start out for Casca dia' to get ready for the com in j of th boys for their summer camp. The boys themselves are to leave Salem Tuesday morning, assembling at the Scout head quarters promptly by 8 o'clock, where the autos are to be in readiness for a flying, on-the-minute start. Will Be Well Fed From the grocery list that went with the truck, the Scouts are preparing to travel on their stom achs fcr a good long time. There looked to be enough to feed a town for an indefinite time. The wheelbarrow loads of bacon, sacks of potatoes, barrels of flour, pie. fruits, rice, cereals, canned milk, beans by the bushel, and an extraordinary eating list tell the anxious mothers at home that the boys are likely to be well fed.

His Cheyenne Indian stories, games and music, made a big hit. He ia a genuine chief, and his years at Carlisle and at other schools give him the ability to present the Indian life better than one with less of the paleface civilization.

She's especially concerned over Hughie, though. You know he's ace high with her, and every time he leaves the train she's certain he isn't going to get back on, or that if he does he'll be minus an arm or a leg. "Why does he leave the tra'n?" I asked idly, aa Dicky paused. "Search me." he responded carelessly. "Of course, he's been doing some wiring about trans portation .from . Aberdeen the station where we leave the train to the cottage at Cedar Crest, but he told me an hour ago he'd got that straightened out, so I don't know wny he-'a leaving the train at every station unless he's trying to dodge Rita. That young woman is certainly mating a strong campaign. I think the sight of that cloak Hughie toted along so nonchalantly made her realize for the first time that old Hughie would be a gold mine for some greedy, luxury-loving wife, and that description certainly fits Rita. She's on his trail with her ears laid flat back against her head." ----- .I dian't.stop to, analyze my If you want your meats delivered, charged, and numer ous other expenses, including a middleman's profit add ed you probably do not trade at the Midget. : But if you desire the best at the lowest price, come and see what we are offering.
