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."

TRY SQUARE TREE
Successful Efforts at Nature
Faking in England.
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.

A vnpor both separate from the main

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

the family bathe, says Asia. There

EXAMINATION FOR FOREST
RANGERS OCTOBERi 25
The United States Civil Service
Commission will hold an open com
petitive examination for forest rang
on October 25, 1920, at the various
National Forest headquarters of the
North Pacific District, located at
Cordova and Ketchikan, Alaska; Al
bany, 'Bakes, Bend, Eugene, Grants
Pass, John Day, Lakeview, Medford,
Pendlolon, rPortland, , Prinevijle,
Roseburg, Wallowa, Ore. 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.

"Capital and Industry KEEP OUT!"
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. . .
Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousands of mort
gages; would result in financial paralysis, and would mean widespread un-
emYouyinondoubt understand the viciousness of this measure, but have you
talked' to your neighbors and friends about it? We urge you to do
everything you can to defeat this measure., Oregon's reputation as . a sound
