Under the regulations of the par cels post, every one but the poor printer can send his products through the mails at reduced rates; the farm er can send his butter and eggs, the butcher can send a slab of meat, the shoe man his shoes, the milliner her lints, the grocer his coffee and rice and so on through the whole list. But the printer may not use the narcels post to send a package of statements to Oakland, or a pad of letter heads . to liiddle, or a lot of circulars to Yoncalla or any other locality in the first zone, and get the low rates that the farmer can on his products or the merchant on his wares. It is one of the things that is difficult to under stand just why these articles are not merchandise as much as the others and entitled to be carried through the mails at the same rates. But they can't and our and other printers' cus tomers in any part of the country must pay express rates and higher, on printed merchandise, such as letter heads, sales notices, butter wrappers, statements and other supplies ordered by them and through the printer.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- vallis, Aug. 28 Among other re markable qualities loganberry iuice has the property of retaining its freshness for several weeks without any sterilization whatever, according to recent investigations conducted by Prof. C. I. Lewis, horticulturist of the Oregon Agiculture College About the first of July Professor Lewis took considerable quantity of loganbeiry juice, without heat, sweetened it to taste and poured it into bottles which he set away in the basement rooms f the horticultural building. The bottles were not sealed, nor was the temperature of the room cooled below lormal. At the end of six weeks an examination of the juice showed that Is apiH-arance was unchanged and that fermentation was just lioginning to set in. I'pon tasting, the juice was found to lie sweet, with no more than just a "sparkling" taste to en rich its flavor. Professor I-wis con siders its self-sterilizing xiwer very unusual and destined to make it a Mpular lieverage wherever loganbir nes are grown. HOMESTEADS If you want a good 320 acre homestead you should write me at once. .1 spent several hundred dollars and almost a years' time investiga ting the different homestead districts of the Northwest. I finally bought out a relinquishment here adjoining the town of Imperial. I now have two or three other first class relinquishments near mine for sale. The price is no more, if as much, as the usual location fee charged by heaters. This valley is thickly settled, prosperous, has schools, the advantages of a small town, daily passenger and freight automobile service con necting with railroads. We will soon have a railroad. Plenty of water and wood, good even climate, grow almost any crop. Write me now, enclosing stamp, and I will tell you all about these claims.
