not enough hogs and hens

Since 1919 the acreage planted to grapes in California has
l::n increasing by leaps and bounds. .The grape boom there
Is cne of the most curious in. the. hisfory of agriculture. When

"I l.cn, -without any one knowing . just how it happened, the
C. mand for such grapes became brisker than ever before- and

HUMAN RIGHTS
, Men" are very Jealous .of their
rights. They are. 'mighty "apt to
cajry chips on , their shoulder
looking for imaginary attacks up
on some "right.' n There I la no
disposition to curb the rights of
men or curtail their liberties so
long as f there I 5 harmony and
consonance with the balance of
mankind. The; . trouble comes
when a man or an organizatios
gets j out of line. The United
States coat commission has just
formulated this pronouncement:
"The right of a man to work
when, where, for I whom and un
der what conditions, and at What
wage he chooses.' so long as ho
elects to assert ; his Individual
right, ' must vver ,bo ' interfered

him protection and peace , while
he exercise this, right.! : 's .'
-This being true, we must also
remember, another truth. The
common good must be considered
What we call society has a right
to step in and declare the limit of
activity. In other words, Boclety
has a right and must exercise 1
to step In for Its own protection
against any of Its eomponen
parts. This new principle is hav
Ins a hard time getting '- recog
nltlon. bat ft Is sound and it
fair alike to all parties.
No man has a right to injure so
clety. lie must shape ' his con
duct so "that tbe harmony ot so-
cietr Is nreserved. This is- re
cognized In criminal? protection
but we have not yet come to the
point of recognizing it in the in
dustrial world. Certain it Is that
this principle must come In for
recognition. It is called giving
the party of the third part a seat
and a voice in all deliberations
between capital and labor. The
public always pays the bills, al
ways is the victim of any hard
ship and always has been voice
less. It Is time for the public
oice to be heard in negotiations.
and it is time for the public weal
to be considered. 1 ,
TAXATION
We read In tbe papers that tbe
democrats ' are- relying largely
upon ' the tax ' issue to ' carry - tne
election next year. They made
the bills and are now going to
make a drive on the republicans
because tbe taxes haye not been
reduced while these bills were be
ing paid.
Nationally the government has
made a remarkable record In pay
ing war claims and reducing ex
penses. - unfortunately tne lesser
taxing bodies have jot responded
well. 'State taxes have no
been cut... County and municipal
taxes have continued to mount and
the republicans are to be held
responsible for this. The big in
crease in taxes haa been for the
schools. - Certainly - there is little
disposition" to curtail them at the
expense J)f the youth of the coun
try. ;( The one ' contribution this
generation makes to the next I
the men and women we hand
over to manage the affairs of tbe
world. It 'takes money to equip
our youths for their work.
We ;, hare always hellered. that
county and city taxes were too
high, yet they are ; the closest to
the" people, and a word front, the
people would stop added expense
anywhere." So long as that word
s not given; no protest against
holding the , party;. ,In - power na
tionally responsible , for the high
taxes.--;., .: .j;.i.-f. :i

A PITY
It Is a pity that -the Red Cross
has not functioned in Salem in
this relief -work The Japanese
disaster has been appalling and
we haye had practically no part
In the relief work. The splendid
friend of everybody, the Salva
tlon Army, has saved what little
of our faces haye been saved.
The Joke is on California. Sci
entists decided to pull off the re

were assured: the sun was always

shine.: It was most nnusual. of

CHAPTER NO. 407
TIIE WAY KATIE BANISHED
. WORRY FROM MADGE'S
MIND . " I '
"From the minute that Katie
arrived, Junior .was her adoring
shadow; It seemed too absurd to
think that a child so young should
remember anything bo vividly as
he evidently did the devoted worn
a who had given him the place In
her heart ' which her own child
wonld have occpuied if It had
lived. But I had purposely kept
memories of her alive in his baby
mind while we were down south.
And twice a week while we
were gone' had come picture pos
tal cards addressed to Junior with
loving mesages from' the loval
girl which I had read to him to
his ecstatic delight.
All this first day of their, re
union. Junior followed her around
as if he were an affectionate" lit
tle puppy, and it was only until
he was safely in bed for bis late
forenoon nap that I found an op
portunlty to take Katie over to
the Dacey farmhouse. : There Mrs.
Ticer : and ' Jerry, having finished
the cleaning of the rooms which
Katie and Jim were to occupy,
were busily engaged with Sam Tl
cer in transforming the old corn-
crib Into a studio for Dicky. The
older Ticer who includes carpen
try among the trades of ; which
he is Jack but no master- had
cut window spaces of standard
half-window slxe all .around the
old structure, and . was covering
them with screening. : - '
"Ton kin git those windows,' all
you want, from a. place over at
Eastbampton," he had explained.
'and I can put 'em on hinges nd
attach 'em by cords to hooks Jn
the roof . above.. Then you won't
never . need to bother - with em
unless it rains, and they won'
take a minute to lower it it does."
As we came up. Dicky hurried
toward us. His coat was off. bis
shirt sleeves turned up,, his., hair
disheveled, while , a smudge of
black across his face completed, a
picture at which I gazed in aston
ishment. Dicky Is most fastidi
ous about bis personal appearance
and ; he Is undeniably indolent
about any physical labor. Yet he
had every appearance of enjoy
ing himself immensely. ';'
Dicky's Inquiry.
V
"What dd you think of this, old
dear?" he demanded. "Sam tells
me that these bashes around this
thing are pink climbing roserf, and
that among them are morning-
glory vines. Can you Imagine
anything more nifty than (hat?
Well, Katie! How do you like
your new home?" "
He had shifted the inquiry" to
Katie - win dispatch, and wen 1
knew the r reason for It. 'To . my
aithful, tempestuous little 'maid,
this, her, first Inspection of the' new
home, was an event of the dtmost
importance, and -1 naa seen as
knew had' Dicky also- her" face
redden and her eyes flash at what
she considered his neglect 'to
greet her. ' -7 '' ' '
But her face cleared as Wiby
magic at his words. Dicky always
has been a hero in Katie's - eyes.
a feeling dating back to the days
when she, an Ignorant, terrified.
Immigrant girl, did the cleaning
and cooking for the apartment
which Dicky shared with three
other more or less impecunious
young artists. I had heard, the
story of those days often from Ka
tie's lips. - ' ; v ;
'It's Up to You!'
"Oh, .Meester . Graham!" Katie
clasped - hers hands ecstatically.
It'- shoost grand on outside,
Meesls Ticer she say It somehing
fierce on inside. But eet;- vun
swell place, only I bet t break my
oacK getting dirt off!"
Her tone Indicated that though
she was willing to go to the 'stake
for our; benefit, she fully realized
all the hardships she would have
to undergo, and wished them' fully
ppceciate. t Dicky winked at me
over my head, and I spoke quickly,
soothingly.'.
"Oh, I don't think it will be so
bad, Katie! There are three, of
the Tlcers to help yon and Jim get
ready for the painters and paper-
hangers, when we can get some to
start In.
Sam .Ticer laid down his , ham
mer, sauntered over- to us,- and
took a reflective straw from his
month. .- : , v'--."' : TV

that the painters over west are

- In the old days a centaur was a beast, part man, part horse. The
Snoppyquop, seen above, Is called the centaurfleld, and they're a meap
pair when It comes to running bases. The Snoppy batting is named
Agamemnon, and the one catching, Achilles. This was in the Greek
Trojan series, several years ago. . 1 . . , ,
Pans climbed up on the Parthenon and hollered, "Attaboy, Ag".or
"You know me, Ach," as the occasion arose..
Once Agamemnon laid down a bunt and star ted, to run to first, but
Achilles, naturally, ran after the ball. Since It wasn't the seventh In

, BACK TO THE FARM
The collie dog sniffed t the farm.

When they w4it to the city ;
And thought it a pity, ,
He had to be shut np from harm.
All my life I had longed Jo eo

the tenant was ill and my master
had to take me to the city for the

grumbled. "The city's no ,place

COAT
The Coat takes a new place as a garment of
fashion. In recent years a great change has
come over the coat. A -woman no longer buys a
coat with the single idea of protection in mind.
It is as important a fashion garment as a dress,
suit or blouse. The .many contributing; factors ,
which have made, this true are of interest to
women. -, -- . - . ?

SEEING COLORS tS .
i , THE ANIMAL WOULD
Some people are color blind.
That means, that they see colors
only In varying degrees of bright
ness, -and those who are extremely
blind to colors cannot distinguish
one . hue from . another. Colors
are only different tones of gray
to them. ' ; . -
Now It has been learned that
whereas some people are color
blind, many animals are unable
to distinguish colors, or they do
so but poorly. It is proved that
apes aee colors like human be
ings. Cats and guinea pigs see
colors, but they appear more sha
dowed with gray than when tbe
human eye looks at them. Doves
and domestic fowls see red, yellow
and green, but are not sensitive to
blue..' ; ; l- ,.' , ,
It was the theory of the great
scientist. Darwin.' that birds and
fishes were attracted to one an
other by their bright, coloring.
That may be so, provided birds
birds and' fishes , see colors tbe
same as we do. Many of tbe
most richly - colored . fishes are
those that live deep, in the fioa.
Their bodies are marked with
bright pinks, reds and yellows.
But ocean water, which is a blue
or green color, would have the
effect of dimming 'the warmer
colors.';'. Morover. at the depth in
which many of these fishes live,
no sunlight can penetrate the wa
ter, so we must believe -that the'
companions of these gayly colored
fishes do not know of their beau
tiful marking.
If you look through a pair ot
dark green glasses, you will have
an Idea how the coloring of bright
objects must change to the eye far
below water. - l- " - :
was -filled with dogs. I tell you
I was glad to see a fourlegged per
son again. I hadn't seen . fm '
since I came to the city to llv?.
My joy at meeting them did cot
last long. They ; were all horrl- ;
bly sad and depressing. They
toldv.me that we were being taken
to a perfectly awful place and that ,
no one ever returned from It
alive, t Well, that didn't sound :
like the kind of excitement I wss
looking for, to 1 decided to get ;
'out of it. The next, time the man
opened the door to put In another '
dog I Jumped out past him' and
ran away. They chased me and
I ran and ran -until at last I could '"
run no longer. I sank down beside
the road, too exhausted -to notice
that I was in, the country again. '
-Z "Why, Rexold fellow! Where'
did you come from? Changed
your mind, did you, and decided
to come back to the farm "after
all!" Hooked up into the klr l
eyes of my master and nodded. I
didn't care Jf he did say that tit
city Was no place for collies. I
agreed with him. It wasn't. '
