Oregon Dairying Grows Average production or Oregon's dairy cows was 4205 pounds In 1!i20 as against :148 pounds for tile United States as a whole. The percentage of tuberculosis in dairy cattle in this state is very lew as compared with other states. Cli matic conditions in Oregon are almost Ideal for dairying.

FORTY CENTS PER POUND FOR RABBIT SKINS NOW I From information received by County Agent Morse, from the Amer ican Rabbit Products Company of New York, they are willing to pay from 35 to 40 cents per pound for rabbit skins, f. o. b. shipping point. In preparing the rabbit skins the heads and feet are cut off and the skins pulled off inside out and hung up to dry'. They dry more rapidly if stretched on a piece of wire the shape of a staple or on a board, but it does not need to be stretched. No shipment should be made of less than 100 pounds and the company states they are prepared to take as many thousand pounds as can be procured. Inasmuch as the skins are bought for their fur value only, they can be shot with rifle or shot gun. Shipments should be made to the American Rabbits Products Com pany, 18-24 Arch street, Newark, new Jersey, and sending a sight draft drawn against bill of lading to the same place. Rabbits rttt weigh about sl pelts to the pound. Handling n Woman Hlecti ically Electrician N.

AMERICAN "REFUSED" GIFT FROM SULTAN Ruler Withdraws Off or Visitor Hesitates. When M1FR1S ARE PROVIDED RY VE;ET.R1,I0S IX DIET Average Dread, Meat, Potato Menl r jacks Food (Clements Essential to Good Health At Church Next Sunday "II I knew you and you knew me, How litttle trouble there would be, We pans each other on the street. Rut say come out and let us Meet At Church next Sunday. Each one intends !o do what's fair And treat his neighbor on the square, Rut he may not quite understand -Why don't you take him by the hand At Church next Sunday? We have an Interest in our town, The dear old place must not go down! We want to push good things along, And we CM help some It we're strong, At Church BOXI Sunday." Vegetables for their at In mis. freshness and variety hare earned a regular place In the American meal, says Mrs.. Jessamine Williams, pro feasor of household science tit the Or 'gon Ag: i-ultural college. "The average American diet of meat, potatoes bread, butter and some ! weet tcoda lack? In calcium, Iron, and pho: phonis, which ale es sentials for the best health." safs Mrs. Williams "Contrary to the com mon belief that vegetables do not contain protein, they furn'sh ti good UPply, The legUntes, such SJ beans, peas', lentils and whole grain cereals, are rich In protein. ".Meat Is commonly believed to be the only source of protein but this Is a wrong idea. Meat Is eaten largely for flavor. Vegetables furnish an appreciable amount of protein and In addition uncooked ones add freshness and crlspnesi to the diet, They are not as stimulating and are equally digestible." i nor cookery is held responsible for the failure (o use i ore vegetable In diet, believes Mrs. Williams. They at" often cooked too long a time, thus lns'ng the mineral and vltatnine con tent. They are often poorly seasoned, hei le unappetizing. Roiling rapidly in a small amount of water and lor as short a time as possible will re tain the mineral and rltamlno con tent so freuently lost In cooking. Sydney Mclieynolds and wife of I Hot Rock came Sunday to visit a f w days at the N Macomber home. Mr. IfcRoynoldi is a brother of Mrs. Macomber. He and Mrs. MeReynolds w re married on Christmas eve at Die bride's home in Walla Walla. I had been invited to lunch at the palace with the sultan of Zanzibar. The ruler uf this Island realm at that tliau was s young man named Suyyid Alt bin Hainoud bin Mohammed, who had been educated at Harrow, spoke the English of Piccadilly, kept bis court on European lines, and was fond of travel. Though a member of un ancient Arab family, which bus ruled In Hast Africa for centuries, All bin Hitnioud's complexion was so dark as to suggest an admixture of Bwghlli blood, which was probably the case. Tin oughout the luncheon the sultan proffered me cigarettes from u case which was conspicuous for its size, Its unusual shape, and Its niiigniu ceme. It was of gold, designed tojiold fifty cigarettes, and consisted of three hinged coinpurtmeut.s Instead uf the : customary two. On the cover was the royal cipher set in diamonds, sur mounted by a crown In pearls, emer alds and rubies. So beautiful was this piece of bijouterie that 1 ventured to comment on it admiringly. "Da you like It?" asked the suit: n, with a pleased smile. "It Is u Mills that 1 had made from my own deM ;n last spring when I was In I'urls. J.'1'iiy SCCepI it from me us a little souvenir 1 of your visit to .un.llmr I should 1 like you to have It please take It." tutting the action to Hie words, he shoved It toward DM across the table. Quite naturally I hesiiu.ed. us ui.n would not at accepting a trinket of i such great Intrinsic value tendered so I casually? Rut, though 1 fully Intended ' (0 accept the kingly gift If it were ; prilled upon me, i tell that propriety i demanded that 1 show a decent j amount of hesitation. So I modestly waved the gorgeous thing aside. "I couldn't think of accepting It, your highness," I said with modest i embarrassment. "I really couldn't." And that was where 1 made an r error of judgment, for the sultan, In stead of Insisting, us I hud confidently counted on his doing, shrugged Ills shoulders and slipped the case back Into his pocket. "It is only a trifle," he remarked. "The next time you come to Zanzi bar I trust that I shall have a gift for you that will be more fitting." I had no uppetlte for the rest of I lie delicious luncheon. I was too disap pointed to eat. My only coiisoluliuu lay In the assumption that the oiler had been but a courteous gesture, us is the Spanish custom, and that, hud I accepted It, I should have been guilty of u breach of etiquette.
