EASY WAY TO CLEAN CLOCK Small Piece of Keroaene-Soaked Wool Placed In Case Will Gather Dust Particles. When a clock Rtons it Is n m!Rtnk to suppose that It must at once be tak en to tho workshop for repairs. In most cases clocks cease running' be cause of the uccuinulutlon of dust par ticles which dogs the bearings. It Is not even needful to take the clock to pieces to clean It If a simple plan Is followed which will fie found to work very well. Soak a piece of cotton wool In kerosene and place this In n small saucer, a canister II. I, or anything sim ilar. Then put this In the case of the clock under the works. Close up, nnd at the end of 21 hours, examine the cotton wool. It will be found to be covered with hlnclt specks; these are the dusi particles brought down by the fumes of the kerosene. Wind the clock up nnd It will start away again. Where the works of the clock are In nn In closed case a few drops of kerosene should be poured through the small bole which Is present In the metal cov ering. Turn the clock about a while so that the kerosene Is distributed nnd after nn Interval It Is extremely likely that the works will commence their normal operations again. Scientific American.

Yet the bishop is still a heathen- ana proud of it. Among the other Af ricans In any given traveling party he Is as conscious of his heathen distinc tion as Tom Sawyer's friend Jim was of bis reputation for having seen erll spirits. On a recent expedition a missionary saw the bishop for the first time and was particularly struck with the blsh op's pride in his loincloth, a well-tal. lored trifle fashioned from monkev HKin ana hunt around a large brass ring, it began to rain. The blshon looked solicitously at the garment- much as a lady caught umbrellaless will look at her new spring suit when rnln comes. The blshon had no um brella, but from somewhere he pro duced a Prince Albert coat and but toned it tightly about him. It served Its purpose. The new loincloth escaped unscathed. World Outlook. IMPROVEMENT IN PRINCIPAL CROPS - Pajfe Three Potatoes Condition of the potato crop in the state improved during the month of July and was reported as 100 per cent of normal on Aug ust 1. This condition promises a yield of around 140 bushels per acre for the state as a whole. -With &n estimated acreage of 43,000 the 1920 crop should be approximately 6, 000,000 bushels, compared with the 1919 estimate of 4,230,000 bushels. The United States potato crop for 1920 is now estimated at 402,00,000 bushels, compared with an estimate of 388,000,000 bushels on July 1, 1920, and 358,000,000 bushels for Kent, agricultural statistician the crP 01 1919- the bureau of crop " estimates United i Hav Reports indicate that the WHEAT, OATS, CORN POTA TOES, HOPS, IN OREGON BET TER THAN LAST YEAH Improvement in the condition of all the principal crops during the month of July, in the state of Ore gon, is indicated from the compila tion of reports received by F. L. ANCIENT AND MODERN NAMES Writer Contends That Premnt-Dav Appellations Lack the Euphony of the Olden Times. Speaking of New England names, the genealogical columns of the Tran script are Indeed a standing proof hat the seventeenth and eighteenth century names possessed much more of snap, flavor and euphony than our twentieth century names possess. Pick up the genealogical depart ment at random nny day ond you will find such fine snd resonant names j 30 to 35 bushels per acre on heavier oeisey Keyes, ratty uoihrook. Su- . soils. Some western Oregon fields btates Department of Agriculture. For the United States as a whole, crops generally have shown im provement during the month 'of July, with the exception of spring wheat which was estimated" as promising a production on August 1, 1920, of ap proximately 30,000,000 bushels less than the forecast of July 1, 1920 Rainfall for the month of July- was more than twice the normal amount. Some damage to hay re sulted, also to cherries, but growing crops generally were much benefited and the prospect now is for the best per acre yield of all spring sown crops since 1916. There was some hail damage in the eastern portion of the state, but practically no crop loss from hot winds. Pretty high temperatures prevailed in the west ern part of the state on July 6 and 7, with moderately high temperatures elsewhere. On the 27th above 100 degrees was reported from points in the northeastern part of the state. Winter Wheat Comparatively little threshing was done during July, hence actual yield per acre re ports are not available for the heavier producing sections. Onithe lighter lands of the wheat belt 15.0 bushels per acre appears to be about an average yield, with a prospect of snnna Gates. Polly Arnold.

Life Is so full of henutlful storlpj that It Is Inconceivable thnt there should he any need of fiction or nny other form of nrt. Life Itself Is an art and reipilres nrtlsts to live It. There are few of these nnd that may iiccount for written nrt. People who can llve on the plane of their agreements ond avoid the plnne of their antipathies make life an art. There was cobbler friend of ours, poor, honest, witty, a philosopher nnd withal handsome. He hnd a wonder fully gifted, heautirni sister and she married n forceful "plute." who was devoted to her nnd whom she loved as truly as she loved her brother, the shoemaker. The shoemaker wns a lender In n radical reform movement; the plute was (he lender of the oppo sition. The shoemaker disdained nny sort of financial help from his brother-in-law. but being an old bachelor, lived In the plute's house, sharing a hnnnv f.imllv life. There was never Sand $6,000 a Ton. Wilmington, Del., has a dozen of the most expensive sand piles in the world. It costs $6,000 a ton, says the Portland Oregonlan. The reason for this, nnd Incidentally a reason for high-priced gloves, was revealed the other day by a prominent leather merchant Wilmington Is the chief glazed-kid center in the United States. About 20 per cent of the raw skins entering the United States come trom China and ' are imported at the rate of about $1 a pound. "What, then," asked the merchant, "would be more natural to the cun ning celestials than to Increase the weight of the skins by sprinkling sand on them?" That Is Just what happens and the result Is huge piles of sand at receiv ing plants here, where the hides are dried and prepared for manufacture. Origin of Surnames.

The average yield per acre for the state as a whole is es- umaiea ai za.u ousneis. with an estimated area of 693,000 acres the Oregon winter wheat crop for 1920 should be about 16,500,000 bushels. The 1919 crop was estimated (final) at 16,010,000 bushels. The United States crop on August 1, 1920, is estimtaed at 532,641,000 bushels, which is an increase of about 15,000,000 bushels over the July estimate The final estiYnate for 1919 was 732,000,000. opring wneat favorable grow ing conditions during the month of July improved the condition of the spring sown wheat, the August 1 condition figure for the state as a whole being placed at 93 per cent, indicating a probable per acre yield of about 19.0 bushels. With an es timated spring wheat acreage .in the state of -328,000 the total spring wheat crop should be about 6,000,000 bushels, making the total wheat production of the state for 1920, around 22,500,000 bushels. Unfavorable growing conditions in the heavier spring wheat producing states have reduced the 1920 crop prospect from' 291,355,000 bushels on July 1, to 261,506,000 bushels on August 1, with the probability of a still further reduction before har vest. A condition of around 70.0 per cent is reported from some of the spring wheat states. The 1919 Bpring crop for the United States was estimated (final) at 209,351,000 bushels. The total United States wheat crop for 1920, based on Aug ust 1 condition, is estimated at 794, 147,000 bushels, compared with the final 1919 estimate of 941,000,000. Oats July weather conditions very favorable for the devel- the oat crop, and the Aug ust 1 condition figure as reported ; by field aids (96 per cent) indicates I an average per acre yield for the J state of about 41.0 bushels. With an estimated oat acreage of 350,000 the 1920 crop should amount to about 14,350,000 bushels. While very little threshing has so far been done, the heads are well formed and well filled and the prospect is very- promising. Cuting is practically fin ished, except of some late sown fields. The 1919 Oregon oat crop was estimated at 11,104,000 bushels. The United States oat crop for 1920 is now estimated at 1,402,000,- 000 bushels as compared with the 1919 estimate of 1,322,000,000 bush els. Corn The condition of the corn crop in Oregon on August 1 was placed at 95 per cent, a gain of two points over the July condition fig ure. Oregon corn is grown mainly for silage purposes, although an in creasing percentage is each year grown for the grain. The United States ' corn 'crop for 1920 gives promise of a production of 3,003,000 bushels, compared with the crop of 2,779,000,000 bushels. state acreage devoted to hay crops is about 3.0 per cent larger than last year or. about 880,000 acres of tame hay. Condition of the crop is placed at 95 .(production) indicat ing a total tame hay production ' for 1920 of about 1,920,000 tons, com pared with the 1919 production of 1,452,000 tons. The United States tame hay crop for 1920 is estimated at 107,26,000 tons, compared with the 1919 pro duction of 91,326,000 tons. Apples The Oregon total apple crop is estimated for 1920 at about 3,425,000 bushels, about 60 per cent of which will probably be of com mercial quality. The 1919 apple crop was estimated at 5,579.000 bushels, , The United States apple crop for 1920 (agricultural crop) is estimated at 213,187,000 bushels, compared with 147,457,000 bushels for 1919. Hops The Oregon hop . acreage for 1920 is estimated at 9,000 acres mature hops and ; 3,000 acres of baby" hops. The former . should produce about 1,000 pounds per acre this season, and the latter about 200 pounds per acre, making a probable total state crop of about 9,600,000 pounds. The United States hop crop is es timated at 37,696,000 pounds, com pared with the 1919 production of 29,346,000 pounds. The condition of other Oregon crops on August 1, 1920, is esti mated as follows: Barley, 93 per cent'; timothy, 97 per cent; alfalfa, 97 per cent; pasture, 94 per cent; field peas, 96 per cent; field beans, 95 per cent; tomatoes, 95 per cent; cabbage, 94 per cent; onions, 94 per cent; peaches, 25 per cent; grapes, 70 per cent; pears, 65 per cent; rye, yield per acre, 15.0 bushels, quality, 95 per cent. BETTER HORSES ARE SENT FOR ARMY USE AT O. A. C Twenty-six horse3 have been sent to the O. A. C. military department by the United States war depart ment in exchange for a like number of outlaws that refused to do duty in the artillery service. The new lot is of amiable animals willing to be trained for both artil lery and cavalry duties, says Cap tain Cushman Hartwell, in charge of the cavalry. They are being brok en as mounts for some of the new men who will take the cavalry work as the result of the increase from 74 to 125 men. , The war department supplies sad dles, arms and other items of caval ry equipment, , most of which have already arrived at the college, and are being adjusted to meet the needs of the student cavalrymen. Oregon Boys Win First place in horsemanship and in firing of the bier euns1 at Camn Knox, Ky., was won by Oregon boys from the State Agricultural Col lege in e the R. O. T. C. work there this summer. 'The Oregon men ranked first in pistol practice. They were chosen to fire the salute and head the mounted parade in honor of Major-General Snow. Some of the 35 from the college attending the camp will work their way home on ships through the Panama canal. This will be a clear gain, as the gov ernment pays all expenses of the trip. Much Tailoring Done More tailor work than is usually done in the average tailor shop in six months was done by the 55 mem bers of the class in ladies' tailoring at the 0. A. C. ' summer session.
