OllKGON IS CITED IN WELFARE WORK Washington - Oregon is kuding no n.iHf.t in his proper place and hf tin. up the "down- and-outer," onl.g to Surgeon General Hugh S. Cmmnmg of the United States Public health service. "For the first time in American j Htory .aldtho Wgeon general, the citiBcns of a state, directed by representative of the public health service, are, by voluntary service and almost without money, carrying on a successful investigation into the numbers and condition of the mis fits and d o w n-a n d-outera. The classes being investigated in Oregon are the dependent, delinquent ' and mentally deficient, and the work has progressed so far that it shows that what Oregonlans are doing volun tarily vies with what is being accom plished in other comjnunitlee by trained official forces.'' Dr. Cummlng thinks it is amazing that the public could be brought to take such an inerest in such an ab struse question and he urgently rec ommends that Oregon's example be followed in other states. "The task," said the Burgeon-gen-eral, "was not an easy one. As there was little money to pay trained workers, Dr. Carlisle quickly dis covered that the only hope for suc cess lay in enlisting the help of the people. Ho began by sending about (I0OO form letters to college profes sors, university students who were about to go on vacations, editors, lawyers, doctors, ministers, priests and other permanent citizens ex plaining the need for the work and j asking if they would help by sending ; in information in regard to any de- t l: i.i.. . ... imuoms, oepewienH and mentally linquenls, dependents and mentally cations. "Hundreds of these addressed at once agreed. The object of the work Is, of course, two-fold: First, to give the people of the state an idea of the problem that confronts them and the heavy annual loss that it in volves, and second to serve as a basis for conservative recommenda tions which may enable the legisla ture to wipe out much of this loss and at the same time to save the classes involved from much of their present misery by applying well proved remedies. These ends cer tainly will be attained." McMinnville $50,000 cannery com pleted here. Oregon crop of hops estimated at 50,000 bales.

One of Most Extraordinary Expert ments in Plant World Is That of : Growing Potatoes and Toma toes on Some Plant Recently the Cambridge Forestry as sociation suggested that trees can be made to grow square instead of round, and thus may be made to produce more and better timber, remarks Lon don Answers. The assertion has given rise to some amount of, good eiaturod chaff but some miracles more wonderful than the growing of square trees bave been performed in the plant world. Tbe scientist waved his wand, as it were, and prodooed the seedless orange, a largo, juicy, delicious fruit, free from what we call pips. Again he took a piece of wood, the stock of an ordinary wild briar, and on it be produced a score of varieties of roses, making a multi-colored bush with roses large and small, red, white, crimson, salmon, yellow, pink, cream and every shade between, all on the same bush. Something akin to growing square trees has been practiced for centuries and what may be termed plant mon strosities are by no means uncommon. Most of us would recognize the white bryony (Bryonia dlolca), so common In our hedgerows. The roots of this plant, which often grow to a colossnl slue, have been grown to shape, as It were. PerhnpH one of the most extraordi nary experiments in the plant world 1ms Just been successfully tried with the potato plnnt. The potato belongs to the snme family as the tomato, and included In the same family are the tolmcco plant, the mandrake and the deadly nightshade, among others. Advantage was taken of the rela tionship of the potato to the tomato actually to grow n crop of potatoes on the roots of a potato plant and a crop of tomatoes in the fluums (stalks and foliage) of the same plonts. To see a crop of tomatoes among the foli age of a potato plnnt, while potatoes are growing on the roots of the same plant, is a sight more wonderful sure ly than square trees. Within a few miles of London is a wall surrounding a churchyard. The wall Is covered with ivy, and in one of the bricks is a square hole. Many years ago a sprig of the ivy climbed through the hole and gradual ly the hole became filled up with the woed of the Ivy. and it became ab solutely square, assuming its normal shape on the outer side of the square hole. If a sapling was surrounded by a plaster of parts or metal mold which was square there is no reason why the wood of the tree so Inclosed should not become square In fact, the won der would be If It remained circular. Any one with a garden may produce plnnt curiosities which will be Inter esting to all who see them. Arrange, a saucer containing sweetened water under and close up to a young, healthy gooseberry bush, and so placed that the dend corllla of the .flower (the tip at the end of the berry opposite the stalk) just touches the water. The young gooseberry drinks the water greedily, and If it is renewed as it is absorbed by the berry the gooseberry so treated assumes enormous propor tions and specimens as large as good sized hen's eggs may be produced.

Stones are piled and heated In a Are and water Is poured over tbem so that when the door Is closed the steam fills the bathroom. The (lathers, sitting on benches, steam their naked bodies both to cleanse themselves and relieve fatigue. They use a brush made of small cherry branches with leaves to strike themselves with for cleansing, and pour cold water from a small pall on their faces when the heat Is too great ; There Is hot and cold water, as In a Japanese bath. From time to time they wash them selves and return again to the vapor. The vapor bath is prepared four times a month, and always In the evening be fore Sunday, when all the members of the family bathe, says Asia. There also are public baths In the city sim ilar, but larger. . Poetic Justice. A recent note on Admiral Sir Mon tague E. drowning recalls a good story told of him when commanding one of our battleships. A "hard bargain" was brought be fore Captain Browning, charged with having broken his leave for more than 100 honrs. The evidence being heard, the captain asked the defaulter: "Have you anything to say In your de fense?" ( "Nothing, sir," came the reply, "ex cept that to err is human, to forgive divine Shakespeare." "Ninety days' detention without tbe option of a fine Browning," was the ready If unpleasant rejoinder.

Belling- ham, Okanogan, Olympia, Republic, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, and Wenatchee, Washington. Persons desiring to enter this ex amination should secure application form 1312, from the Civil .Service Commission or from th e Forest Sup ervisor 'of any of the places where the examination is to be held. Candidates must be between the ages of twenty-one and forty years. They must be able-bodied andi are required to pass a medical examina tion. Persons whose, military service entitles them to preference are re leased from age requirements. 'Oth er requirements are at least a conv mon-school education and knowl edge of the rudiments of compass surveying, timber estimating and scaling, land laws, and the livestock business. Forest ranging offers men who like the forests and mountains an op portunity for a vigorous outdoor life where they may fight forest fires, build trails, telephone . lines, and cabins. To a person fond of an outdoor life the wofk is varied, in teresting . and healthful. However, the forest ranger must be willing to endure hardship if necessary. His work often take's the ranger into re mote regions where he must know how' to take care of himself and his saddle horses. Rangers are appointed at an initial pay of $1,220 per year, an increase effective this year, and those whose services are satisfactory may be al lowed the temporary increase of $20 per month granted by Congress. The continuance of this increase be yond June 30, 1921, however, depends upon further action of Congress In many case's quarters are provided by the Government. Rangers may be required to furnish saddle horses. Forage for necessary horses is pro vided by the Government.

That is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No.. 314 and 315 on the November ballot entitled, "Constitutional Amendment Fixing Legal Rate of Interest m Oregon. This measure proposes to limit the rate of mterets in Oregon to 5 per cent. You can, by law, fix the rate of interest in Oregon, but you cannot bv law force the loaning of money m this state; when a much higher rate can be' secured elsewhere. The passage of this measure would force the withdrawal of the 'millions of foreign capital which is ... today loaned on factories business and 'real estate in the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better investments. . .
