DON'T SEEM RIGHT.
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.

The grain yield in Polk county was
reported to be about 28 bushels to
the acre. The crop was not quite up
to the standard but the yield would
have been encouraging to the farmers
had there been any hope in realizing
a fair price. Many of them stored
their grain in hope that the price
would raise before spring.

Berry Juice Keeps.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-

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.
