Semtnet Publishers Subscription: One year, $1.50; fix months, 75 cents; three months, 50c Entered as second class mail mat ter September 2, 1914, at the post office at Manpin, Oregon, under the Act of March 3, 1879. THIRTEEN YEARS OLD This issue of The Times marks the last unmber of volume 12. For that number of years the paper has been issued in Maupin, and in that time has seen all the ups and downs of a new community. The paper has been under the direction of divers people and each did his best to chronicle the events as they occured, and at all times to keep the communty on the map. It has not been smooth sail ing at any time, for the country newspaper is the one enterprise that gets the last of everything. But at that The Times has kept ' its head above water and at this time seems to have hit its stride and is unm bered among the leading country weeklies of the Northwest.. The present publishers came here a year ago last August They are practical newspaper men and printers. They have done their best to give Maupin and the whole com munity a newspaper commensurate with the section. That they are meeting with success is shown by the addition of neary 200 new subscri bers, an increased advertising patr ronage an da job book usually filled with "live" work. To show their j faith in the community they have in- 1 stalled a late model type setting I machne and are bending every ef- fort to enhance the standing of their i town among the communities of the state. The Times begins the new year next week with all the confidence in the world in the future of this sec tion. It will not be many years be fore the mamgers of the Wapinitia water district will have to make a dcfinate move toward supplying the ranchers on the Flat with water for their farms. When that is accom plished Maupin will grow, to a size surprising to all who know it as it now is. When that time is at hand The Times will be in a position to make a greater noise than it does now and that noise will always be for the best interests of this section as a whole. The firm of Semmes & Semmes thank all those who have extended the hand of fellowship and who have given us their patronage. We will strive to merit a contination of same by giving Maupin and vicinity a newspaper the measures up to the enterprise of the community. ELIMINATING THE PROFESSION The medical profession is the only one where good and efficient work tends to reduce the prosperity of those in it. The plumber does a good job, but corrosion is his ally and soon he must come back to re pair the pipe he installed last year. The lawyer wins the case, gets paid for writing up the agreement, and makes more work for himself by writing it in such a way that, in case of dispute, he alone can interpret what he has done. But the good and worthy doctor cheats himself every time he does a good job. He improves the sanitary system of a town and loses a few hundred potential typhoid cases. He discovers, as Pasteur did, the germ theory, and immediately re duces his number of future custom ers. All of which is good, right and proper; and in perfect accord with the noble and high aims of the pro fession. But doctors tell us that it is getting tougher and tougher every day to make a living, to say nothing of a competence, in a field where good work cuts down the cliances for future livlihood.

This appalling sum Is only un estimate, as no complete figures on the number of automobile accidents In (he United States are available, but It has been conservatively estimated that 22,000 lose their lives each year by automobiles, and $3,000 a hnmnu life Is the lowes' value put on It by economists. Of non-fatal accidents 078,000 occur annually, causing average cost of $175. Then, each accident averages $."0 property da moire. Insurance records show. This makes the staggering total of $."Sl,Gr0,000 n year. No account Is taken here, points out the Stewart-Warner Safety Council for the prevention of automobile accidents, of the economic value of time loss by the Injured due to delays caused by accidents or to minor property values, such as bent fenders, expense Incurred while motor vehicles, par (Icularly the commercial ones, afe out of service, due to accidents. Were all these taken Into the reckoning, the total figure would surely be doubled, or around $1,113,750,000.

Literally hundreds of women and a surprising number of men have asked me this question in one form or an other. And it's an important one for what can be more blighting to domestic happiness than a cup of muddy coffee or coffee improperly "creamed"! And, on the contrary, what can be more ex hilarating than a good cup fragrant, golden, delicious? Luckily there's no hidden secret about making and serving the perfect coffee it's just a matter of minding your p's and q's and following s few simple directions. Selection of Coffee There are many excellent brands of coffee in the market the choice of one of these is largely a matter of individ ual taste. But I do want to say that usually coffee in the bean retains its flavor longer than in the ground form so, if possible, buy the whole beans and grind your coffee fresh for each meal. If, however, the breakfast hour or fifteen minutes is too hectic to admit of this extra step, at least keep your ground coffee in an air tight con tainer a glass fruit jar for instance. And it's well to remember that the more finely the coffee is ground, the easier it is to extract its full strength and flavor consequently finely-ground coffee is economical and time-saving. The Coflee Pot Connoisseurs maintain that coffee brewed in a metal pot has a less deli cate flavor than in a container of glass, stone-ware or agate. Whatever kind of coffee pot you prefer it should be scoured frequently and occasionally "boiled out" with water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered. If a percolator is used, the pipe should be carefully washed every day with a brush to remove all scum from the preceding brew. For drip coffee, if you do not have a special drip coffee pot, an ordinary one equipped with a double cheesecloth hag will serve the purpose. The cheese cloth should be washed in cold water after using and renewed at least once a week. Keep the ba? always moist. The "Creaming" , This I consider quite as Important as the actual brewinir.

In my study of food habits, I am finding that every year more and more people prefer sweetened condensed milk in their cof fee. You see this kind is twice as rich and creamy as ordinary milk and fur thermpre already contain tugar, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try it for a few days, and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delight fully rich, smoothly blended drink, bringing out the real coffee flavor And of course it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened and the cost is ex tremely moderate. Now as to the actual mrlhod of brewing. There are several and your choice is entirely a matter of indivld-' ual taste. If the directions are care fully followed, any of the methods will' yield the "perfect cup of coffee" mM-i low in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant' aroma, free from sediment and of a dark golden hue.

If necessary to let stand, the pot should be tightly covered and the spout closed by stuffing with soft cloth or paper, so that none of the a.ona and flavor may be lost.
