Even everyday citizens who know but little of the plicated structure of our piyriad laws have come to knor the phrase, "Caveat emptor, 1 or "Let thd buyer beware." There are many cases in which the purchaser, is presumed o be able to make a good bargain for himself and it is presumably no one's business if he doesn't.

' i' CARE OF FARM MACHINERY FARMERS GET DAMAGES PRE3COTT.- Ariz.. Sept. 19. (By Associated Press.) Farmers who sued the United Verde Exten sion Mining company and the Unit ed Verde Copper Mining company here for 162,000 damages alleged to hare been caused to the crops by smoke from the smelters, to night were awarded a rerdlst for I4.997.S5 against each of the com panies by a Jury In federal! court. LEGATE IS NAMED TOKYO. Sept. 20 (By Asso ciated Press.) Baron Kelshiro Matsul has been chosen as ambas sador to Great Britain. C"iCtl?STERS,PIU.5 iTtZJiZ. a.. w TiVrrtt 1 At this time of the year when farm! machinery for the most part is laid aside thought should bfe given to its care until its use next season. Investigations of the depreciation of farm machines show startling results inregard to exposure of them to the elements. These investigations show that machines depreciate twice as quickly wherleft uncovered out in the weather as when covered or carejsl for inside. For example let us take" a farm which requires $600 worth of machinery to properly equip it. In fact the average Western Oregon farm requires about this outlay ill farm machinery. If these machines are properly housel they will depre ciate approximately $48 in value each year,, but if they are not carefully used and housed the depreciation is at least $96 a year and in some cases much more.- It is evident that it pays well to house machinery and that the housing will be. more than paid for within a short time by savingjin depreciation. But there are other conditions, which 4iirge the housing of machines. Should the farmer s desire to! sell them at any time, he will obtain a much higher price if they bear evidence of careful housing than he will if they are feather-beaten in appearance. Again when machines are exposed for a long time to the weather during the idle season; much more time and effort is usually required to get them to ;working properly than would be required had they been housed, on account of the rust and general depreciation. And this time at the har vest season is worth more to the farmer than that of any period of the year. ' f ; It is desirable to keep the machines well painted. Not only: is this wise from the standpoint of better appearance but for protection from the weather when the machine is not in use. Paint in fact adds very" greatly to the length of life of machinery. An application of . some anti-rust substance is also good cr. machinery and this may be obtained at nominal cost. On the basis of "money saved is money earned," the proper housing and care of machinery is one of the farmer's opportunities' to add to his bank account.

That the law which denies the right of secret organizations in the high schools of the 'state lias been ignored is regrettable and recognition of the boird's' action as simply compliance with the law is the only ' reasonable and 'proper ;procedure.: f ' I The law denying the; right of existence of secret orgarii Rations n public schools was sought and passed by those who r desired "the best in social,1 educational progress of school boys ir 1 rtrU. ,And it was not passed until results from! these cranizations made ' the : demand imperative. ; ' V: Faith in boys and girls of our high schools is still; genu r i' end ths desire for them the highest standard of effici- r-1 f.cr::3 in their educational efforts and experiences is The custom of pressing a scriptural verse to the lips as a part of the oath of office ceremony in the inauguration of our presidents was introduced by Washington, the first presi dent of the United States, and has been adhered to by all the presidents since his time. . V Grover Cleveland was evidently an admirer of the Psalms, for in his first inauguration he selected Psalm 112:5, 6 and 7; and in his second inauguration he chose Psalm 113:4 and Psalm 91:15. . ' . First Inauguration "A good man showeth favor", and lerideth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. , ' i: ' "Surely "he will not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance; v "He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

"He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he." Theodore Roosevelt chose his passage of Scriptures from James 1 :22, 23, which reads: - I "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers ohly, deceiv ing your own selves. , " v " "V ' . "For if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto, a man beholding his natural face in a glass Warren G. Harding requested that he be sworn in on the same Bible used by George Washington. When he had con eluded taking the oath, he reverently pressed to his lips the Bible, opened at Micah 6 :8. He then delivered his inaugural address, and in closing" said: "I have taken the solemn oath of office on that passage'of Holy Writ wherein it is asked: "'He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good: and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?'
