BROTHERS UNDER THE SKIN (Grand Junction, Iowa Globe) The public service corporations and the daily and weekly newspa pcrs are brothers under the skin, both being public utilities serving the American people with an essen tial iervice at a remarkably low cost, due to quantity production. Of the two it would be impossi ble to say, which is the most es sential. The newspaper and the major utilities light, power, gas, telephone and street railways, prob ably serve about the same number of customers. It would be a monumental catas trophe if either the utilities or the newspaper; should discontinue ser vice for a single day. Both are a vital part of modern life. In one year public utilities spent approxi mately $25,000,000 for advertising, of which 63 per cent was used in the ne wspaper . SHE USED A PENCIL A mnn who claims to be ecor ical in his smoking1 only one i ick age of cigarettes a day was fuss ing with his wife about the electric bill, which he thought was too large until :he used a lead pencil. Maupin is in hearty accord with the efforts of Dufur in its attempt to remedy the mail situation of that place. Dufur is entitled to as good mail service as any other place, and the pre.ent service is one which is of great moment to all residing there. Heretofore the mail has been carried over two streaks of rust, by courtesy called the "Great Southern railway," but that pike is but a rail way in imagination only, and at no time has it satisfied the Dufurites with the mail proposition. Mail can be tent and returned to The Dalles twice daily and at a cost no greater than is now paid the imitation rail way for such service. The Times hopes the postal department will soon take the matter up and record our neighboring city the service to which it is entitled. The attitude of The Dalles re garding the purposed .change in our mail schedule savors somewhat of "for The Dalles only." We suggest that that city annex all this part of Wasco county, thereby being made able to do as they please with the resrt of the county. REFRACTIONIS r'pOM CHICACO Expert Optician Atsociated With Delehrue Optical Company Dr. Fred Pageler, Jr., leading op tician of The Dalles, has found his business increasing so rapidly that the services of an expert optician have been necessary, therefore he has secured Dr. Fred Perkins, a not ed refractionist from Chicago to as si.t in the Delehrue studio. Dr. Perkins is an expert lens grinder, a fine refractionist and has had several years' experience in the largest op tical institution in Chicago. Maupin itec who are in need of glasses may be correctly fitted with them by a visit at the Delehrue studio, as it has long been a motto with Dr. Pageler that the customer must be satisfied or there will be no charge, and with the assistance of Dr. Perkins he is doubly able to make his statement of absolute satisfaction hold good. When a child is old enough to do the necessary arithmetic he can be gin to keep a little per onal account of how much he has received and what he spent it for. This the begin ning of the child's training in the management of money. When you choose a kitchen cab inet see that it i3 well made arid mouseproof; that the material of which it is made iii easy to clean; and that the drawers and compart ments are suitable in size and shape for the articles you will want to stpre in them. Smooth soft cotton materials that launder easily are best for children's rompers. Cotton charmeuse, ging hams, prints, cotton crepes, sateen, and fine broadcloth are good fabrics for the purpose.

The Dalles, Oregon FORMER GOVERNOR VAN SANT FAVORS PROPOSED MERGER Man Who Bitterly Foutjht and Defeated Merger Generation Ago Now Sees Benefit in The Consolidation of Northern Lines. Ex-Ooveruor Van Sant, who taw the development of transportation In the old steamboat days ou the Mississippi to the present day. In reeent Interview expressed hi un- $V4 'if n. R. VN SANT qualified approval ot the proposed merger. This Is the view of former Gov ernor Samuel R. Van Sant ot Ml nesota, who more than twenty-live years ago brought about the defeat nf the plan of James J. Hill, E. II. Harrlman and James Plerpont Mor gan to bring about the consollda tlon of the Great Northern and Nor thern Pacific Railways. He said "There Is not now the same reason for opposing the consolidation o railways that there was In 1901 Competition as a public safeguard has been replaced by highly ef flclent governmental regulation. Ir 1901 competition was the only pro tectlon the public had. There wen no other railroads extendtm through to the coast In this grea territory. The Milwaukee railway the Union Pacific railway, the Can adlan railroads and the Panama Canal are now direct competitor with the Northern lines In the Pad flo Northwest. We did not have these In 1901. The Interstate Com merce Commission at that time bad little power; In fact there was no efficient public regulation of rail roads. A new governmental policy now prevails. It is recognized thai under government supervision bet ter service and lower rates can be obtained than nnder the former system of rulnons competition. "The fact seems to have beer overlooked that when the gover nora and attorneys general ot all the northwestern states met In 1901 at Helena, Montana, at my request, for the purpose ot appeal Ing to the government to oppose the merger, we petitioned Congress to provide the Interstate Com merce Commission with real regu latory powers. This hag been done The danger that might come from consolidated power of railroads hap now been removed. The public are now In a position to enjoy the ad vantages of such a consolidation. ''Objections to consolidations that are based on wholly local consider atlons must be brushed aside Id the general public Interest." V'We live In an age of progress," said the Ex-Governor, "in an age ol consolidation and cooperation. Our country Is big; our business is big; our men are big; a large vision Is required of the public. The con solidation of great railway systems are no longer to be feared ; far from being a menace tbey are now es sential." ' SOME FARM REMINDERS Use Lights In Coups When eggs are on the downward trend the poultryman needs a full basket to pay the feed bill. The ex periment station advises the use of lights where possible and the feed ing of wet mashes in Oregon to guard against a drop until r pring conditions' assure high production. To Keep Out Moths Cothes moths can be reduced In any home or establishment, say sta tion authorities if proper control measures are used. Persons owning clothes subject to attack can afford to buy chests or cabinets that are very tight in which to store them. Red cedar chesta keep out the moths and the characteristic odor of their wood kills any newly hatched or young larvae that may be in them with the clothes. Order Barley Early Good barley seed is hard to obtain unless orderd early. Because of high feeding values the best varieties of barley are sometimes gone by seed ing time, Hannchen id the best vari ety for western Oregon, finds the 1 I 7 f A ' v HURRY CALLS If vou wore taken suddenly HI you would call the doctor at once, for your life is the most valuable as set you possess ami you don't want to lose it.

To make hard sauce a littlo dif ferent, use brown sugar innteiul of white, and giate in the rind of an orange for flavoring. Hard tauce is good with almost any hot steamed pudding. NEXT WEDNESDAY IS ST. VALENTINE'S DAY Biihop of Early Church Menioriiad By Holiday In Hit Honor February 14, Day Next Wednesduy, February 14, is St. Valentine's Day, a day set apurt by the Catholic church as a holiday in memory of un early martyr of that faith, and which has been hund- ed down to all nations ai a day on I caim to the land above de which to remember friends with to- ,rrihr, hfr n c.,.. kens. St. Valentine was a binhop of the early church. He was put to death at Rome under the reign of Claudi us, February 14. 270. Later he was canonized by the church, and the dute of his death is one of the holi days of the church. During the old time feaat of Lu pcrcalia, celebrated in honor of Juno, it was customury for Roman youths to draw tabiets from an urn. On each tablet was the name of a maiden to whom he was supposed to devote himself for a year, This fes tival was held near the anniversury of the martyr's death, and was final ly merged with it to the extent that the practice of choosing sweethearts for the ensuing 12 months became a common one on St. Valentine's Day. A German version of St. Valen tine enumerates 62 saints of that name, A pretty story connected with one of them runs to the effect that he was a charitable man visiting the tick and the needy. When bed ridden with old age he continued to send kindly messages to those h'. could no longer go to see. It is from that that the practice of sending to kens of the day sprang, and evf.n at thi3 time many are wont to extend greetings of the day to their closest friends. Oregon State highways cost $10,.
