ATTRACTING FARM TRADE.
"The way to sot the ilirmor to
come, to your town is to mnko the
town a good place for tho farmer
to transact business in."
This sentence is taken from an
article in a recent number , of the
Country Gentleman, tho article be
ing one of a series entitled "Big
Country Merchants, Beating the
, mail order house at its own game.
In this particular one of the series
the success of. the Hart brothers,
of Long Prairie, Minnesota in keep
ing trade at home is told. It is an
interesting story worth the study
of every merchant who is fighting
the mail order game hut the im
mediate lesson to be found in it of
value from the community view
point is in the sentence quoted
above.
Making the town a good place for
the farmer to transact business in
isa Job for the town organiza
tion and the local business mini.
We have recently pointed out what
efforts Redmond has made to at
tract the farm trade.. The work
has ibeen done iby improving, the
highways leading in to town, by
making it easy through the tele
phone and mail connections for the
fanner to communicate with the
merchant, by tying up the school
interests of the various sections.
Local business men have also made
especial ' efforts to attract the
farmer. '
Here In Bend we have very little
of this sort of thing, , but if we
want the farm trade we must change
our habits, and make the town
attractive for the farmer.

The Frosty Morning.
The world outdoors is white with frost, at
morning, when I leave the hay, and I, regardless of
the cost, put up a glad and brave . hooray. The
frost is gleaming on the hills, and glittering along
the vales; the doc should put it up in pills, the drug
gist weigh in on his seah?$. I praise it in the high
est terms; it is more precious than our rolls; for
it's the stuff that kills the germs, and makes the
microbes hunt their holes. A mortal loses all his
pep when blistered by a summer sun ; he toils along
with weary step, and feels as though he weighs
a ton. A slight exertion makes him groan, he's al
ways in a grouchy mood; in every sinew, every
bone, he feels a beastly lassitude. But when the
autumn frost appears, and eager winds his whis
kers nip, he rolls his shirtsleeves to his ears, and
looks for some one he may whip. The languor of
the summer time, the weariness of sizzling' heat,
no more oppress him when he'd climb around the
town on busy feet. In August I am beastly old, as
old as graybeards ever are ; but when the frost lies
on the wold, I'm younger than a movie star.

COAST OVER COBBLE STONES
Sport In Madeira Has Many Advan
tages Over That to Which North
erners Are Accustomed.
Cobble stones may not nppeal to the
uninitiated as ideal- for coasting pur
poses, but they admirably serve the
purpose. It all depends on how steep
. is the hill the cobbles pave. In oilier
words, It isn't the material that makes
the "slide," but the pitch of the slope.
Those of us who are accustomed to
sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by Ice know lit
tle of the thrill a slide may possess.
For some measure of the delight In the
sport Is frequently minimized by the
frigid nlr that rushes past our tint-linear
s and some measure of the enjoy
ment Is entirely lost by the chills that
grip our shivering bodies.
Imagine if you can the thrill nf
coasting down a hill so steep that your
"sled" files over the cobbles morn as
Is would speed over crusted snow or an
Ice glare. Instead of Icy air that al
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought, picture yourself in springtime
garments and fanned' by summer
breezes.
If you can Imagine such a picture
you will have enjoyed at least some
part of the sport of coasting In an
island where there is no snow or Ice.
Down the cobble-paved road the "sled"
flies. For ten minutes you flash along
id oreatn-tnRlng rash, then you begin
to grow accustomed to the speed and
the novelty of the sport and you take
time to look about you. But like most
other enjoyments Just as you're begin
nlng really to enjoy it to the utmost
your coasting ends.
Where Is this extraordinary slide?
On the Island of Madeira, which be
longs to Portugal, and lies In the At
lantic ocean, off the const of Morocco.
i How a Hero Died.
I A dramatic Incident In vyjileh a he
roic young officer faced death In sol
dierly mnnncr Is the climax of a true
story that recently appeared In Stars
nnd Stripes, the official newspaper of
the American expeditionary forces.
He was Francis M. Leahy of Lnw
rence, Massachusetts, and he had
served In the ranks before he won his
commission. He used to tell of th
days when he was orderly to Captain
rersiiing in tne riilllppines. One day
while lie was restlBg with his mcrt by
the wayside a German shell came
whlzsilng out df space Just as the order
arrived that the regiment fall In and
move on.
Tho shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who wore Just getting to their feet.

Lavender Smokers.
Lone before tobacco was known or
smoked, sweet lavender was a favorite
smoking mixture. I'lpes hnve been
dug up in Roman settlements, adorned
with base-reliefs plot urine the lavender
plant. From which It Is surmised
that the Romans smoked lavender,
which, according to writers of the time.
Is said to irroilni-e n feeling "active, ar
dent, and vigorous."
J-
Only One.
A little girl had a twin brother nnd
sister. Now, she was used to the cat
having kittens and only one of the
kitten family being kept. So when
her father brought the twins down to
show her she gazed at them enrnestly-
for a small space of time, then said.
"Daddy, I think we'd better keep that
one!" Pointing, as she thought, to
the prettier one!

Evil Always to Be Fought.
There ran he im compromise with
evil. It never Is right to license 'wrong,
whatever golden return". It may offer
or however difficult It may he to get
rid of It. In our social life nnd in our
personal life, wherever evil shows Its
hand there must he battle, not com
