So here noes: It was Monday morning when a middle aged woman clean and de cently, thoush poorly dressed, stood ot the corner of street intersecting the highway. The woman was badly rrioDled. using two crutches and car rying two bundles and a small satchel. Although she was evidently a stranger in this town, no one could mistake her for a tramp or any other person of disreputable char acter. This unfortunate cripple stood patiently at the coiner of the inter secting street trying vainly to flag down some humane driver for a lift. Did she Bet it? She did not! At least a half dozen cars passed, all with plenty of loom for one more: but none of thein noticed this poor crippled woman. Until at last after having vainly appealed to a number of the more fortunate of her fellow humans, as long as she was able to stand on her poor crippled limbs; she went her weary way towards the next coiner. Now sir, 1 cannot reconcile this oc currence with the present high price of pork in this section of Oregon. It is certainly not due to the scarcity of "swine" in this part of the country. I would like to hear from some of your readevs who may have an opinion on this subject. Fred O. Edler Dec. 19 Jefferson, Oregon. To the Eiditor: Will you please Insert in the Capital Journal as soon as possible and oblige. The Lunkford Sunday bill lor the District of Columbia has been in troduced In the present congress, It is a measure that should be op nosed bv every voter both men and women because it strikes at the Dcrsonal liberty of everyone, and therefore it is un-American as it restricts individual freedom In the homes and on the premises of everyone. It is a religious proposl tlon founded on and put through bv Dolitlcnl action. The illegiti mate union of religion and politics Is out of place here. The promo tors vast in number are almost frantic and threaten all opposition, Should the bill pnss it becomes sort of octopus at Washington whose tentacles reach out into every state in the union. It is said a mil lion dollar slush fund is urging on the movement. Religion hi politics Has it come to this? So it seems. Hundreds of protestors are out with petitions in every state to thwart If possible, tills dancer. This week work with petitions will begin in Marion and Polk counties. Let all be prepared with a ready signature. N. JAY BOWNS. Solicitor for West Salem Dec. 19, "27 In the rush of holiday things it will be an easy matter to foreet your house plants some ot these cold nights, which threaten to turn colder any time. It is well to re member that near the window is the coldest place in I -e house the glass attracts the frost. Just as. in summer. It attraots the heat. Newspapers of several thicknesses may be placed between the window and the plant, until you are quite aure me mne nas come for even greater protection, such as putting thein in a box, with a lid closed. This year I am taking no chances on losing my collection, consisting or lour t ucluas and a Begonia, and na.-e already dug a pit in the back yard, in which I have nlaced them The hole is square, being two feet in oeptii, and equally wide and lone so that an ordinary window sash just covers the top of it. The plants are suu in ineir pots, into which i nave thrust sticks on which to lay a heavy coating of newsnaDers. before laying the window sash above them, which will keep out super fluous rain and keep in some heat. When the weather is warm, I shall remove the cover in daytime, but if it should turn very cold, I shall put a couple of warm bricks In the pit at night. I was almost caught napping about 'y Chrysanthemums, having left them on the porch until a freeze caught them, as they looked so pretty in contrast to the rather wintry landscape. But I hastily dug a deep trench on the dry side of the house, covering them to the very tops of the young sprouts, com ing on, and finished off with news papers, laid on like shingles. On my Dahlia bed I shall follow the some plan, for, in spite of all the holler about digging Dahlias, and turning them upside down, and washing their faces, I have never had the tubers freeze in the ground, and have only dug them to keep the ground animals from feeding upon them in winter, when there was no other food. And I am not sure but what same pesky rodents have benefited my garden by mak ln deep draining tunnels through which the water is carried away, as I find none in winter, which Is usually the cause of bulbs rotting in the ground, if left there to winter. In my last article. I said if you wanted to get rid of slugs, there was nothing you could do but "Pray" but the printer, who probably knew me, said you must "Spray." But since then, I have learned that the one safe and sure method, and one which does not leave any sorrow in its wake, is to visit your garden after dark; with a flashlight, and pounce upon the slug as he feasts upon the young Delphiniums. In a vegetable garde! you may place a board near your plants and trap the intruder under it. but ot course no one cares to fill his flower gar-. den with boards, so that the lan tern or flashlight visit to the plants seems a happy solution to the mat ter. Advertisers are suggesting liv ing gilts tor Christmas, and It seems to me there can be no nicer way to remember our friends than this if you also add "growing." to the word. It you get a holly tree with berries on it, you are sure it Is a holly-bearing tree, while If it has no berries, you may be sure that it is Just a natural born "spinlster' and no amount of care will make it anything else. In my own garden I have a tree now twenty-four years old. that Is only two feet high and has never produced a berry. I am inclined to believe that only the grafted trees ever bear, although the barren ones do very well to help piece out tne necige.

These folks say we are living in an age of realism! The age of "realism" where the human voice is hurled across the world without wires; where the temperature of Mars is taken more thnn thirty million of miles away; where tons of Ktecl and people ride easily and safely through (he air or under the sea! An age of realism! Why, this is the most romantic of all ages! The advertising columns of this paper are full of romance of the romance of men who have devoted their lives to bringing new comforts, conveniences and and pleasure for mankind. Advertisements tell these stories, not with the romantic ex aggeration of a jongleur, butwith the calm, simple words of sincerity. Here is a firm that spent millions to develop a pro duct that makes your baby comfortable. Here is a company that lias labored fifty years to cut a single hour of toil from your day's work. ITcre is a man who has searched the tScven Seas to produce a new flavor for your dinner. Romance thin age is full of it. Not just empty romance, but the true romance of achievement, of progress, of the better ment of mankind. 8B e 'Adverlhententa tell you what the romftrp of twines is doing for you. Read them
