HAZELWOOD CO., PORTLAND ALL FARM ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis. Managing a business without ac counts is like steering a ship without a compass or driving a horse without reins, said Dean J. A. Bexell in a lec ture before the graduate school of ag riculture at Amherst, Massachusetts, on July 10. The secret of success was said to lie in a knowledge of past events and ability to utilize the knowledge in bus iness operations. Every successful farmer is involved in a variety of fi nancial transactions and must observe established business methods. In or der to be most useful farmers' ac counting methods should be standard ized. The key note of modern business efficiency is standardization. This is seen in the interchangeable parts of machinery and other articles, and con trol of railroads and other public util ities through uniform government re ports, and conservation of human en ergy by scientific management. It is Just as necessary that business meth ods of the farm be standardized and uniform as the business methods of factory. If the production of farm commodl ties is going to keep pace with the in creasing demand, farm accounts must be kept and kept in a systematic, uni form way. If accounting systems are standard lzed they will serve as a basis for com paring success and failure of neighbor ing farms with a view to correct the mistakes. With the young farmer just starting in business the standardized accounts would serve as a partial sub stitute for experience. Contrary to the usual understanding of the matter the subject of farm ac counts is not new, but was discussed frequently by the ancients, especially Pliny ana Cicero. How Delia Managed. A great deal of noise arose in the nursery one morning, and since it gave no promise of subsiding, Mrs. Odcll hurried in that direction. She found the baby howling with might and main and the new nursemaid sit ing calmly by. "Well, Delia, this Is a terrible noise!" cried Mrs. Odell angrily, "What is the matter? Can't you keep the baby quiet? "Shure, mum," replied the girl, "but I can't keep him quiet unless I let him make a noise, mum." Cook Would Stay Awhile. "John, are you sure it is safe on this yacht? ' "Yes, my love." "And you know how to sail it?" "My sailing master does." "How long will it take us to cross?' "About two weeks." "Oh, dear. There's so much to wor ry about on a yacht." "There's one thing that needn't cause you any worry." "What's that?" "The cook can't leave until we get to port." Brooklyn Citizen. Father's Tip. "Wish to marry my daughter, you? Take my advice, don't" "But whv. air?" do "I have noticed evidence of insanity in ner lately." "Good heavens! What evidence?" "She ayi she wants to marry you. Boston Transcript Knew Her Ways. "Well, I must be going, old man. I've an appointment to meet my wife." "She probably won't ba there." "Oh. she will, Just about I'm two hours late." Boston Transcript The market value of "silk" socks manufactured from sawdust In the United States during 1915 was equal to the total appropriation for admin istering the national forests. they are together in these days, are worlds apart in thought. Each builds its life in words, and the words are as little alike as in the days of Babel; and thus it comes about that we mis understand one another. We translate one another only into our own language, and understand one another as little as before, be cause we only know one another in translations, and the best of the life of each nation remains and always will remain untranslatable. No one has ever really translated the Greek lyrics or the choruses of Aeschylus or the incomparable songs of Heine. Who could dream of put ting the best of Robert Louis Steven son into German, or Kipling's rollick ing oauaas 01 soiaier lite into Span ish, or Walter Pater Into Dutch, or Edgar Allan Poe into Russian! The one language common to us all, music, tells as many tales as there aro men to hear. Each melody melts into the blackness or the brightness of the listener's soul and becomes a thousand melodies instead of one. What does the moaning monotony of a Korean love song mean to the west erner, or what does the swan song mean to the Korean? Only God knows. We can never translate one nation into the language of another; our best is only an interpretation, and we must always meet the criticism that we have failed with the reply that we had never hoped to succeed. The best we can do is to give a kindly, a good-humored and, at all times and above all things, a charit able Interpretation. Information, facts, are merely the raw material of cul ture; sympathy is its subtlest essence. RUGS NOT FOR MISS HUMBLE Court Decision Likely to Cause Fair Plaintiff to Feel Like Living Up to Her Name. Sour wine, gayety, humility such might, perhaps, be designated as the subject of the case reported in 143 Pacific Reporter, 778, as indicated by the subject matter, love letters fol lowed by death of the wooer, taken in connection with the names of the par ties involved, Humble, Gay and Sauer wein. The last named was the cava lier and owner of a fine collection of 119 Indian blankets and rugs. In the winter of 1910 he met Miss Humble, and thereupon became "Humbled," we might perhaps say, not in the or dinary sense of degradation, but of being held captive by the lady's charms. He soon sought an engage ment of marriage and showed her his collection of rugs, with the statement that they were to be hers. She did not at that time accept either the gift of his person or property. A few months later Mr. Sauerweln died. En ter here Mr. Gay as executor. After the departure of Sauerwein "to that bourne from which no traveler re turns," Miss Humble, perhaps to have them as a keepsake, sought recovery of the collection of rugs on the the ory that a valid gift of them had been made to her. The supreme court of California, however, held that accord ing to the evidence, consisting partly of letters from the lovelorn Sauer wein, the gift had never been com pleted, and denied recovery. The Docket, Boring Clam It Odd. One of the strangest creatures known to science is the pholas, or boring clam. When still very minute the animal bores into the sandstone ledges at extreme low water, by means of its sharp shell, which is re placed by secretion as It 1b worn away. It penetrates the rock to depth of six or eight inches, and hol lows out its burrow as it increases In size. Shaped roughly like a top, It could not leave its rock dwelling even If it wished to do so. For food it depends on the animalcules that float In sea water, which it seizes by Its long siphon, or tongue. The pholas Is In great demand at the seaside resorts along the Pacific coast, for its meat Is very tender and makes excellent soup. Youth's Companion. - Uses of Coke Growing. The tremendously Increased Impor tance of by-products of coko oveni and gas works since the war started has led to efforts to Increase the use of coke by concerns that heretofore have used only coal. The government has led the way by mixing certain proportions of coke with other fuel on Its railways and In its buildings, and the manufacturers are following this example. The coke ovens and gas works are now depended on to furnish three vitally Important prod uctsexplosive material, motor fuel and nitrogenous fertiliser and It la deemed Imperative that the production of these by-products be stimulated by an increased demand for the coke. Velocity of Stare. The average velocity of stars ranges from about alz kilometers, or between three and four miles, per second, for "young" stars to about thirty kilome ters per second for "old" ones. But notable exceptions occur. At Mount Wilson Solar observatory of the Car negie Institution some atari hare been found to move with velocities of 141. 160. 179, 233, 3It and even 22S kilo meters per second, the highest speed yet known. Even the man who does not sympa-' thize with the movement for wom an's rights cannot help admiring the leaders of it Elizabeth Cady Stanton proved more than once, says the Youth's Companion, that she had both physical and moral courage of a high order. She had often, say her biog raphers in "Heroines of Modern Prog ress," to utter her message under the most trying circumstances. Once in Michigan a party of speak ers visited a deaf and dumb institu tion. Mrs. Stanton just said: "There is one comfort in visiting this place, we shall not be asked to speak," when the superintendent came up with: "Ladies, the pupils are as sembled in the chapel ready to hear you." They spoke, while the superin tendent repeated in sign language what they said. At another time their boat was icebound in the middle of the Mississippi river. . Someone shout ed: "Speech on woman suffrage!" They rose to the occasion, and there at midnight made Beveral new con verts. ' . In Kansas Mrs. Stanton one night was refused lodging in a houBe, and ensconced herself in the carriage. "I had just fallen into a gentle slumber," she wrote, "when a chorus of grunts and a violent shaking of the carriage revealed to me the fact that I was surrounded by those long-nosed black pigs so celebrated for their courage and pertinacity. They had discovered that the iron steps of the carriage made most satisfactory scratching posts. 'Alas,' thought I, 'before morn ing I shall be devoured!'" She plied the whip upon them, but without ef fect; so she went to sleep and let them scratch at their pleasure. "I had a sad night of it, and never tried the carriage again, although I had many equally miserable experiences within four walls." CALLED PARADISE OF BIRDS Great Lake Region Abounda In Rare Songsters Attracted by the Many Lakes. The lake region of Michigan and Wisconsin has been described as the "paradise of birds." In Michigan alone 300 species of birds have been Identified. The great lakes and the thousands of lesser lakes add to the bird life by calling to these waters the aquatic birds. Mich igan has many birds whose habitat is in the far north around Hudson bay and others that live In the states south of Michigan, even along and be yond the Gulf of Mexico. The first are illustrated by the Bohemian wax- wing spruce partridge, Canadian Jay and others, while the summer red bird, the mocking bird and the card inal red bird illustrate the second group. The great lakes attract many birds that are usually maritime, such as gulls and terns. Michigan abounds in lakes there are 425, for instance, within a 25-mlle radius of Battle Creek and there are the nesting places for many interesting birds not found elsewhere. "Living Whist." The game of "living whist" Is a fol lower, and a most unsatisfactory one, as a matter of fact, of the game of "living chess." The latter has been given frequently in out-of-doors futos. The ground is marked In squares, like a huge chessboard, and the pieces are represented by women and men In cos tumes that Indicates their positions queens, bishops, knights, pawns, etc. The game is played by the directions of two persons seated on thrones at the edge of the board, the pieces mak ing the moves Indicated by them. Living whist" followed this scheme but by Its nature was far less success ful. The board and squares were lack ing and the game did not lend Itself to the schema Of such a game as "living bridge" or "living auction,' however, we can find no record, and it Is most unlikely that such a game could be played at all, as the bidding, which Is, of course, the real essence of these games, would be an Impossi bility. Sign of Rain. An East side girl says she lias come upon an infallible weather Indicator, reports the Columbus (O.) Dispatch. She could tell If It is going to rain without even glancing at the sky or casting her eyes over the weather forecasts In the dally papers. And It's the simplest thing In the world Just the disappearing of all um brellas from sight. "Umbrellas are perfectly safe In our office up to 24 hours before a storm,' said she, explaining. "You can leave them anywhere. Even the pearl and gold-handled ones are Immune from abstraction. Indeed, one can hardly chase them away. So, If I want to know the weather for a day ahead I must glance at the umbrella racks. If I find them becoming empty, I make a bee-line for the best rain shade of those that are left and make all other necessary plana for rain." Garden Without Weeds. Weeds should not be allowed to grow until they are large enough to be pulled up. Make It a rule to go over the garden with a hoe after every rain, as soon aa the soil la nearly dry.

The budding authoress bad pur chased a typewriter, and one morning the agent called and asked: "How do you like your new type writer, madam?" "It's wonderful!" was the enthusias tic reply.
