While Autumn shakes her tresses And gives the world their Umatilla farmers should pay some attention to the experiment being made by W. W. Har Th Courage rah on his ranch in Of a Moneer. handling grain in bulk. It is the first time in the history of the county that such a method ha been employed and. if the northwest farmers are as progressive as they should be, it marks the beginning of the end of the expensive system of handling wheat in sacks. The wet-tern slope Is the only grain section of the United States w here the growers have not broken away from the old-fashioned use of sacks. Just as they abandoned the cradle and the flail for the binder, thresher and com bined harvester, the farmers in the other wheat producing areas of the country forsook the sack system for the bulk method. The western farm ers, usually prompt to adopt mod ern ideas, are trailing far behind in this regard, still clinging to a thing that belongs to a past era. It Is claimed that farmers of the middle west harvest their crops for 22 cents a bushel less than western growers. Whether this Is accurate or not it is only logical to believe that a big saving must result. The elimina tion of sacks and sackmen, the pre vention of waste, and the gTeat facili tation In shipping, loading and un loading and the reduction in the labor bill all work for a clipping of the ex lenses of harvest.

Hut the t ry of distress, whether it comes from the living soldier on the battlefield or the puniest infant left behind, will find woman at her post. he uncrowns her head of the Jew els that dar-xle; she forgets her am bitions in other spheres; her sighs become soothing words, and the voice that kindled in the pleasure halls softens into prayer. The world and civilization in evolu tionary processes bring transitions of problematic Import, and great chang es in the spirit and desires of the hu man family. But when the test comes in a storm which threatens universal havoc, the human family becomes the great unit of one. to hold to gether and preserve civiiratlon and its own. As it was in beginning man. the protector, will go out in the stress and strain of the conflict, and the twenti eth century woman will be found still the Mother Spirit, ministering to the cry of distress outside, and loving and praying at home.

If it is Just and legal for the exporters to break their contracts with the Euro pean buyers, it ought to be Just and legal for the farmers to break their contracts with the exporters.

The west end of the county has be come an ideal game community such as the state game authorities have long been dreaming. Recognizing the value of pheasants as destroyers of grasshoppers and other harmful In sects, they are giving thc-m such pro tection that even the prairie chicken bids fair to become as numerous as the variety that flits about on metro politan streets. It is now the open season prophets of the world's end. for The public is still awaiting the de tails of the great naval battle off .San Francisco bay from a press associ ation that never makes a mistake nor gives anything but SS-proof authenti cated news. BY THt SCISSORS Is Si-oiiimI Waterloo Coming? , (Ffom the Nw yorfc HeralJ.) i,nct! aKaln at Waterloo, where Eu- In an effort to reach rranee, ana French troops mobilizing on tne oxner nide of the little country long known as the "cockpit" of Europe have startt-d a counter advance. Yesterday Belgium, which the pow ers of Europe agreed after the bat- tie of Waterloo shouli remain per petually neutral, began mobilizing her troops and joined the nations which are calling for military reservist in this country. At the office of Pierre Mcll, consul-general, a steady stream of men poured into the little incis ure ready t answer the call to the colors. Although there are only about 1500 Belgians In thl country, the consu late was deluged with telegram from patriotic Belgians offering themselves or their cash to aid their fatherland The invasion of Belgium by Ger many." said Mr. Mell today, "was to be expected. Since the raya of the Itoman empire, Belgium has been the buttle ground of Europe.

The German forces which are mov ing over Belgian territory came from Camp d'Klsenborn, 50 miles south of the great entraining station on Ger man territory, from which the march Into Belgium was begun. This is Just a few miles below Aix-la-Chapelle, where Charlemange set up his capital that he might be prepared at any time to dash into France or Into Ger many. IN A MIRTHFUL VEIN Three convivial passengers were going to Myria the other day. One of them was awfully tired, and as soon as he got into his plush seat out of the stormy weather, he went to sleep. And as soon as he got to sleep one of his companions swiped his ticket lrom his pocket. Then the conductor approached, and the two wideawake , ones aroused the sleeper. "Here comes the conductor for the tickets," they said. "Wake up!" He woke up and searched his pock ets, but of course, he found no tick et. "ay. you fellers," he said, "I can't find it!" "Then you'll have to pay cash fare," they answered cheerfully. "I ha vent got a cent In my pocket:'' "Neither have we; get under the seat." So he crawled under the seat. Then the conductor came to collect the t'ekets. And the Joker who had swip ed the ticket from the sleepy one pro duced them all. "There are three tickets here and only two of you,? objected the con ductor. "Where's the other one?" "Under the seat," answered the jester, promptly. The conductor took a look and, sure enough, there was the third member of the party grovel ing in the dirt. "What's he doing there?" the con ductor wanted to know. "Oh, he always travels that way he prefers it," was the smiling ans wer. However brave the policemen are they are careful about not breaking the laws and ordinances. A patrolman was kicking his feet down on the lake front the other morning when an excited citizen ran up to him and cried: "Say, hurry up! A man has Just Jumped off the pier!" "With his clothes on?" asked the officer. "Tes fully dressed. Hurry! "What do you want me to do? There ain't no ordinance against a man swimmin' as long as he's prop erly dressed."

Whether they are original or copied Is not made Plain in the communication: backward, turn backward, O Time In thy flight. Give us a girl with skirts not so tight, j or few. Are not exposed by too much peek-a-boo; Give us a girl, no matter what age. Who won t make the street a vaude ville stage; Give us a girl not too shapely in view, Dress her in "skirts the sun can't shine through; And give us the dance of the days long gone by. With plenty of clothes and step not too high. Put turkey-trot capers and butter milk slidr-s, Hurdy-gurdy twists and wiggle-tail glides And othor such bunny-hugs all on a level As products of h-Il.

Inquiries are received from South America for en ough coal to tide over the period of the war. Those who have had the opportun ity of coming to the Australian, the Japanese or the United States market, are electing to buy in the I'nited States. This is because coal brought from Australia and Japan would be subject to seizure because one is a British colony and Japan may becomw an English ally. It is reported that ships will start as soon as possible from Kio Janeiro tu the United States to carry back coal. At one eastern port 200,000 tons of coal huve accumulated and more, it is said, is in transit. Sparks (Yum the Telegraph. The fourth lynching in Louisiana in a week occurred at Monroe when an unidentified negro was hanged a few miles from here by a mob of white citizens of Ouachita parish. The negro was suspected of killing a white man named Purvis, foreman of a logging camp, after a quarrel over a game of cards. In a dense fog in the Hudson river the steamer Iroquois of the Manhat tan line crashed into the Berkshire of the Hudson Navigation company lina off Hastings, cutting eighteen feet in to the Berkshire's counter and rip ping her almost to the water line. Prompt action by the Berkshire's of ficers averted a panic. The Mississippi river steamer James Lee struck a snag near Asher, Ark., miles south of Memphl, and sank in ten feet of water.
