Silver was asm "" . .,. , n , hi nf fler- to onset me iin'e- --- 'man agents in the Far East. While the allied forces held back the Germans, a flood of silver from this country completely offset the German efforts to stir up trouble there. Silver dollars, idle in the vaults of the United States treas- inln hnra iinil ury were meiieu shipped to the Orient to restore the natives' waning confidence IB their currency and the allied credit. Outflow of Silver $813,808,536. The imperative necessity of dis pelling disquieting reports in the Far East about the reserves was due to the importance of silver in the economic life of the Far East. It is the money of the bazaars of India. It Is the coin in which bills I are paid and purchases mane, auu Is the coin with which the native I have been familiar since child hood and the one bullion in which he places absolute confidence. The size of this overflow of sil ver from the United States in the days when it was considered a necessity to aid in winning the ! war may be judged from the fig ures of the director of the mint. In the six years from 1915 to 1920 Inclusive, imports of silver into the United States amounted to $368,- 933,478, while exports totaled 1813,808.536, an excess of exports Over imports ol ?4 44,875,078. Production of silver in the United States in the same period was $332,367,506. From 1915 to 1919 Inclusive the amount of new silver consumed In the arts in the Uni ted States was valued at $95,769,- 681. skillful line plunger. He showed his worth by a plunge of eight yards for a touchrown against the Chemawans. His ability to block and interfere will be a great help in the backficld. Choc Loughrey of Payette, Ida., the only midget player on the line, bids fair to fill the vacancy left by Captain Chuck Rose. Toots Garrity and Okey Taggart, how ever, are giving him strong com petition. Although Choc is light, he tackles hard with considerable speed. Dick Oarber of Freewater, an other pramising sophomore, had his shoulder torn loose in prac tice last week. After X-rays were taken, his shoulder was put back into place. Another X-ray will be taken during the coming week. If the wound is not healed, the shoulder will be wired into place. Until he was injured, Dick was one of the most promising back field players. It is hoped that he will be able to return to the game this season; Luke dill, star kicker on last year's rook team, and Ped Hage dorn, who shows excellent ability in intercepting iorwaro passes, are also holding their own in the backfield. Bert Winnie, who showed well as a fullback, has been kept from practice on account of laryngitis. Rlchert is another man who promises to make the regular squad before the end of the week. Mickelwaite, Johnson, Taylor and Payne are also expected to re lieve the old varsity linemen who the holding down their positions quite regularly. Aspirants For Aggie Eleven Show Promise Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oct. 5. New football men in Saturday's line up showed themselves to be able to cope with the Indians. Ev Miller. all-California high school fullback, looks promising as a backfield man. He is develop ing rapidly as a kicker. It looks as though Coach Rutherford has at least found a man who can send the pigskin over a great many marks. In the game against Che mawa. Miller's brilliant kick sent the ball 65 yards. If he continues to Improve he will probably be one of the coast stars. Reginald Tousey, who replaced Captain Gap Powell in Saturday's game, promises to develop into a Women Press Candidacy Of B. F. Irvine The movement, which was start ed in Portland by the Democratic Woman's club, popularizing B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Journal, as a candidate for gov ernor of Oregon, is being given a decided impetus by their method of procedure in the campaign. Pe titions simply worded to the ef fect that the citizens of Oregon desire B. F. Irvine to allow his name to be placed on the primary ballot are being circulated among the voters of Oregon. The club feels they have a can didate with a peculiar distinction of appealing to all classes and feelS no hesitancy in presenting these petitions for the signature of all voters regardless of party affiliation. Many prominent women are as sisting in securing signers on the petition in and about Portland. Petitions are going forward to all parts of the state to be placed in the hands of leading democratic women who will solicit the names of representative citizens. The Capital Jon Idle Men Prosper On Ball Series New York, Oct. 5. Resourceful men from the ranks of the unem ployed who found places far in front of the lines of world s ser ies ticket seekers last night sold nrlvantacesous positions to more fortunate brethren this morning for $5. A nnlW order had been issued that such conduct would not be tolerated, but ofifcers in charge of the blue coated squads were sway ed by the pleas of the jobless, many of whom, it was said, de clared that Upon this one chance lay their opoprtunity to appease the hunger of wives and babes. Whose fault is it when your husband is cross at breakfast? If you frit your thumb with a hammer you wouldn't blame your thumb for hurting. Then why blame your husband whose nerves may have been pounded by coffee, and whose rest probably has been broken by the irritation of the caffeine it contains?

Brownsville Bov Killed. Brownsville, Or., Oct. 5. Little Glen Walker, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Walker of Browns ville, was kicked or dragged to death by a horse Tuesday evening. Ho went into the pacture to get the family horse and did not re turn. An older brother went to see what was wrong and found that he had been killed. Whether the little fellow was kicked or dragged by the horse is not known. of r ty-six shillings. My watch and chain, pawned, have added ten shillings; I have sold my green suit and my overcoat. That makes forty shillings more, and I have sold, for about thirty shillings, some old clothes, shirts and shoes. I had therefore, a total of 176 shillings to spend. "Then I went up to see , thinking to marry her, and, al though that waB not to be, I fell more madly in love with her than ever, and I think she liked me, too, because she never asked me for money. "She was just sweetness itself, and she began to chide me for be ing silly. I pretended to her that I was rich and offered to give her a car, but she would not hear of such a thing. As regards the mon ey, I spent it In two evenings, taxis and bouquets, and this last week of life has been a ray of sun-j shine, In the brilliancy of which; I have for an instant forgotten, everything. "Then on Sunday she went away, and I have fallen back into the reality into the horrible reaJ-( ity; and it only remains for me to die. "After I had said good-bye, I went indoors and fell on my bed.l where I lay for an hour. "I cried and I suffered, stifling my sobs in my pillow, kissing her i photograph and eating the last flower that she gave me, breathing a little of the perfume that re-, mained to me.

"I cried and I suffered, stifling my sobs in my pillow, kissing her photograph and j eating the last flower that she gave me, breathing a little of the perfume which remained to me." j These were the last words of; Paul Torlot, a 17-year-old Belgian boy, who hanged himself in a pic turesque Kentish wood on account of his hopeless infatuation for an actress much older than himself. They were written to his par ents, an artistic Belgian couple, resident in Brussels. Paul, a boy a sensitive and somewhat morbid disposition, old for his years, was studying in England for a commer cial career. He became acquainted with the girl, who was acting in a touring company. Completely obsessed with her, although' she did every thing to discourage him, he be came imbued with the idea of be coming an actor in order to be near her. In this he was unsuc cessful, and the following letter, written just before his tragic end, exemplifies his state of mind: My dear Mamma and my dear Papa: This time is the last I write you, and when you read the lines that follow your poor Paul will be dead. "But before I die I wish to have a good timp for the last week. Any one condemned to die has a right to a last kindness.

"alb Measure the Profit of Your Stump Land Cleared! PLAN right now to clear off more land before planting and after harvest, too. Use the "off-seasons" to provide for bigger profits on future crops. One crop usually pays the entire cost of clearing and leaves a profit besides. All following crops are dear profit. The great land -clearing movement that swept the country in 1920 is even stronger in 1921 farmers the country over are clearing more land this year than ever before. The modern way is to use dynamite for blasting out stumps and boulders, for this method is very rapid, reasonable in cost and leaves the land in good condition for cultivation. The majority of farmers use STUMPING POWDERS Du Pont and Repauno Brands (Pacific Northwest Products) which have done and are doing highly efficient and economi cal work in tbe clearing of hundreds of thousands of acres.
