ALL TOPSY-TURVY Man's life is full of trouble and temptation. He comes into the world without his consent and goes out of it against his will. His journey through life is full of strange and contradictory happenings. When he is little the big girls kiss him, and when he is big the little girls kiss him. When he is little ho wants candy but can't have it, and when he is a man he can get it but doesn't want it. When he is a boy he wishes he were a man, and when he is a man he wishes he were a boy again. If he raises a large family he is a chump, if he raises a check he is a thief. If he is a poor man he is a bad manager, and if he he is rich he is dishonest. If he puts forth an effort to collect what is justly due him he is a sausage and ought to get beat. If he is in politics it is for graft, and if out of politics, you can't place him and he is no good to his country. If he gives to charity it is for show, and if he does not, he is a stingy old cuss. If he dies young there was a great future before him and if he lives to an old age he has missed his calling. If he is affectionate he is a softy, if he isn't he's a cold-blooded proposition. So, in order to be entirely healthy and avoid all criticism he must eat nothing, drink nothing, smoke nothing, subscribe for his home paper, and if he wants better printing at right prices he must get it of us. d';i;:;!iiiinii;!Hiijjuiiii!iiiisiiii!iiii'ssm j 'rrp 0.

M., stands a peculiar peak, peculiar in that certain stones, found ai iis summit, bear the shape of a cross, some of them so perfect that one would imagine they had been carved from the living rock by the fingers o a skilled sculptor. Hut more peculiar still is the fact that these stones, tie matter how many times they may be broken or . rushed, even though they he broken Into a dozen fragments, wlll'stlll retail! their shape, every fragment a perfect cross in itself. About these legend, not of tribe oi- family, stones is woven a my particular Indian probably started by the early Indian Christians or pos sibly by the Spanish who settled the country. At any rate it is a beauti ful little story, and so characteristic that it is worth relating here. The legend in itself is well known to the Indian and Mexican settlers of the re gion, and is frequently related, while bits of the rock are to be found in virtually every household. The legend Is as follows. Long years ago, when the country was new, the bind was unknown to the white man, but Indian tribes found here it prosperous, well watered coun try, where they could live In ease, without hard work and Without great effort. So the land became popu lated and each tribe bad its own re ligion and each Its own gods, which were worshiped faithfully. Hut when the Spanish settlers came into Mexico small parties of them were constantly making journeys northward, where they exported to find gold and silver. In their num ber wire many priests, who were strong in their religious conviction and who hoped to convert the Indian tribes to their belief. Aial it so hap pened that two of these Indian priests came into the mountain country, where dwelt countless tribes. These two priests were well re ceived by the tribesmen, who lived with them for long, and they made every effort to convert them to the Catholic faith. Hut the tribesmen were stubborn and demand- of the would images very fed some sign of the strength white man's god before they cease the worship of the stone which they had set up. The priests, seeing this, we sad. and went to Hie mountain lop and prayed for three days and three nights thfll there might he some sign from heaven, that the tribesmen would be convinced. Finally in answer to their prayer, the Christ appeared on the mountain to) and spoke to them and then pleaded with the tribesmen that they would follow the advice of the priests and worship the white man's Cod. Hut the tribesmen were obdu rate, and so tb.8 Christ knelt there on the mountain top and prayed that these Indians might he made to see the right. And as He prayed He wept, and the tears fell from His eyes to the ground, and there they wen- turned Into rocks as fust as they tell. And every rock was in the shape of a cross, antl there were thousands of these rocks on the summit of the mountain. Tribesmen who saw them were amazed, and when they took the rocks' in their hands thej marveled. And some there were who broke the rocks, but no matter how many times they were broken, each small frag ment still retained Its shape ulid the priests pointed to the rock iind said it was the sign from heaven. And the tribesmen beard and were con vinced, and therefore they worshiped the white mail's Cod us their own.

Too much feed will cause the hens to stand around, become inactive, ami lose their appetites. It is advis able to cut down on the feed when they show this tendency. The more feed the pullets will eat the better should be their laying, but it is poor management to feed to the point where grain will be found in the scratch litter. 0. A. C. experi ment station. Poultry manure allowed lo accum ulate loses nitrosen in the form of gaseous ammonia. To prevent this loss of valuable plant food material, add either superphosphate or land plaster. The superphosphate is the better of the two in that in addition to preventing ammonia loss it re inforces the manure with the plant plant food element phosphorous, which is lacking to a great extent In many of our soils. On beaver dam soils, that is, soils that are composed chiefly of organic matter, crops re spond to both superphosphate and potash fertilizers. This is particu larly true of root crops.

C 2,400 MOl.KK WO GOPHERS TRAPPED HY OREGON HOYS A record of :(0S pocket gophers and 99 moles caught in 11 months ending in November, obtained for Roy Hanenkrat, an Oregon hoy, a prize of $"r,. Another boy, Ferdinand1 Becker, caught 820 moles and re j ceived a second prize of $!J. These i boys were taking part in a contest organized in Tillamook County, Ores., to eradicate these pests. The county was divided into three dis tricts, and pi i.-.-.'a amounting to ifbu were allotted to each district. Forty bo;, s and girls entered the contest. Pocket gophers are very unevenly distributed in Tillamook county, and the boys working In certain territo ries were limited by the mountain ous nature ot the country, so that it i required fully as much effort to get the 146 moles which won the first prize in the south side of the county, or tin- 111 moles turned in by the winner tit the north end. as it took for the big catches in the open Tilla mook Valley. The only condition of the contest was thai prize winners should turn in at least ltlO skins. A total of 1,808 mob skins and 594 pocket go pher skim-, or 2.402 skins altogether, were turned in to the county agent's offlco, according to the report re ceived by the representative of the Biological Survey of the United Stat s Department of Agriculture, who assisted in organizing the cam paign. In addition to the prizes, the 1,800 moleskins will he sold and the money returned to the young trap pers. DR. F. V. PRIME l) K XTlSTIt Y Dental X-ray and Diagnosis HERMISXO.N. OKU.

We are indebted to an Englishman, John iiewson, for the Introduction of block printing of fabrics; lie coining to America in response to an Invita tion from BenjajU'n Franklin. Roller printing printing designs on textiles with rollers was Invented In 177(1 by a Scotchman, Thomas Bell. Today in America a mile an hour Is the rate til which one of our modern mills prints textiles. Crepe de chine is today printed in reproductions of old Ktist Indian designs and in the "germ ol life" motif, symbolic of their religion belief; also in Persian paisley pat terns, with till the glowing color ami elaboration of design which character Ize the band-woven shawls of India nd lumd-liloeki'd muslins of Persia. Special Equipment, Green Feed, Bal anced Hat ions, Frequent Marketing Are Essential. West coast poultrymen must pro duce eggs cheaper than eastern pro ducers, as they have to sell the sur plus in markets further east at the same prices local producers get, says Paul V. Maris, O. A. C. director of extension. This means that the cost of extra shipments has to be shaved off the production cost of eggs to make competition possible. "To compete in these markets we have to produce eggs for less." says the director. "To succeed il Is nec essary that a large enough Mock be kept to warrant : "1. Frequent iritis to markets with eggs so they will be In nrst ( lass condition; "2. Mixing or purchase of precisely balanced rations; "3. Growing special crops for green feed; "4.
