Pate 2 THE MONMOUTH IIERALD, MONMOUTH. OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH 7. 1924 Farm Reminders Asparagus once planted is good for many years. It is one of the first vegeUbles to be ready in the spring. It will grow well under a variety of soil and climatic con ditions. Asparagus is bist when served within a few hours after cutting, hence its added value as a farm vegetable. A circular on planting is available at O. A. C. "A movement is oil throughout the state to encourage the farmers to take better care of the cream. As warm weather approaches the cream should be kept cool at all times. It is a good habit to separate right af ter milking because the cream is at a very good temperature then to get maximum results.

On September 1 a large force of In dians led by Simon Olrty, the notori ous white renegade, attacked the fort.

Western N'wnpier I'niun.) THE INDIANS' WOODEN CANNON. FOUT HKNKV, built In 1774 on the present site of Wheeling, W. Va Is Justly . famous for the frontier heroes associated with It and the many thrilling incidents in Its history. The first settler there was Col. Ebenezer Zane and from time to time there came to the fort such men as Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, Lord Punmore, Lewis Wetiel, George Rogers Clark, MaJ. Sam McCullough, Cornplanter, Seneca, and Logan, the Mingo. Here Colonel Zane's sister, Betty, dashed Into fame when she sped across a bullet-swept clearing to carry in her apron the much-needed powder to the besieged settlers. Here Maj. Sam Mc Cullough performed his feat of horse manship and made the leap for life which added to his already great re nown on thg border. . And ..here pn wood and tilled to the muzzle with a heavy charge of powder, stones and scraps of Iron. Then It was dragged to a point within 00 yards of the stockade and discharged. But the experiment was far from being a success. Instead of smashing down the gates of the fort, as the In dians had hoped, this Improvised can non burst Into a thousand pieces and rained Its missiles down upon the In dians, killing and wounding many of them. Discouraged by this result, flirty postponed further attack until morn ing. But by this time reinforcement led by Major McCullough this being the occasion of McCullough's famous leap had arrived and the savages were forced to raise the siege.

A "THE LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER" So fittingly descriptive and yet at 1 the same time so unusually appropri ate Is the legend "The Little Church Around the Corner" that Its long-continued usage In referring to this quaint and honored landmark In "Little Old New York" hss all but blotted the real name of this house of worship from the memory of the hordes of pilgrim visitors who, nnrually or more or leys often, Journey thither to "pay their respects." "The Little Church Around the Cor ner," squatty, broad-spread and set well back from the narrow and husy thoroughfare, Is none other than the Church of the Transfiguration, Its exact location is No. S V-vA fth street, Just around the corner from Fifth avenue. The story of how this unusual nnme came Into being, and which urose In a perfectly natural mannert Is Indeed interesting. It also serves to Illus trate how, through a mere turn of fate, fume sometimes unexpectedly at taches Itself to an object In this case a religious edifice. A noted actor had died, lie had no church connection. As he was widely known, his fumlly und friends felt that a public funeral was a necessity. The curator of a neighboring houe of worship was requested to conduct the funeral service. He promptly de clined, adding that "perhaps the rec tor of the little church around the cor ner might be willing to serve." History records the fact that the funeral was held at "The Little Church Around the Corner." Following in the wake of this Inci dent, The Church of the Transfigura tion was adopted as the Protestant house of worship by the theatrical pro fession. Since that time, this little church has ben the scene of count less christenings, weddings and funer als. The church and its present and past pastors have so endeared them selves to all who have come Into di rect contact with them that, recently, when the present rector celebrated his silver Jubilee, letters, telegrams and gifts from all sections of the country, especially from uctors and newspaper men, flowed In to express the "Many happy returns of the day" spirit In the hearts of the senders. CJ), 19J3, Western Newipaoer Union.) Disappearance of Fortsts Hsld Re sponsible for Trsmsndous Incrtas In Cost of Building. The snvngo built his shelter of wood, according to the availability of the material and his knowledge of handling It, and In primitive countries ioduy, human habitations re made of f trees, limbs, leaves, wherever they exist, almost precisely as In the dawn of civilization, says the New York State College of Forestry, showing the relation of the wood shortage and the shortage of homes. "It Is Instinctive with man to use wood because of Its adaptability and durability and because the custom has been handed down through the ages. As long as wood Is plentiful and cheap, man will use it to the exclusion of other materials because of the perfect service wood renders. "In this country the common people build homes of wood ni long as they can nfford them. When wood goes beyond the purchasing power of the average person, the cost of owning a home becomes prohibitive to the ma jority of people. "The consumption of wood usually expands with the development of civil Izatlon. But the people of the United States today are consuming the same amount of timber they did In 1870 for the reason Quit our forests are unable to meet the normal demand of the country. This Is one of the chief rea sons for the shortage of hundreds of thousands of homes. The consumption of wood In this country has been de clining because the price has been go ing up. The rise In price Is due chiefly to the reduction of supply. Our virgin timber Is almost gone. "Lumber Is essential, a need of the common people. The rich can build marble palaces, but the poor man de pends on wood for a home of his own, Whenever the price of wood restricts home building, the average man Is forced to rent nt painful rates, which Is a more expensive way to provide a domicile for himself and family.'

"Villages have their back-fence gos sips," says a New Yorker, "The city hns its rear walls of apartment houses, which are In every way as ef fective as sharp-tongued busy-bodies In spreading neighborhood news. In summer when the windows are open these walls act as sounding boards and transmit an amazing amount of Information. "Unlike the village gossip, a rear wall tells the simple truth, never stretching It; but the truth bi often bad enough. I had supposed that the couple in the flat below mine were a most respectable pair, but now the windows are open and the rear, wall Is nt work, and I know from certain clicking sounds that a poker game Is running there day and night "Above me dwell another pair who In public seem devoted to each other.
