Entered as second class mail mat ter September 8, 1914, at the post office at Maupin, Oreon, , undr the Act ot March8, 1879.1 FARMERS AND FAIRS Fair time is ! approaching and prospective exhibitors should be planning to make the most of their opportunities to show their best products. The real success of a fair, whether it be one embracing a state, a county, or only a local community, depends more on the number of exhibitors than upon the nrmber of exhibits. That a farmer can not display a great variety of superior products fchould not prevent him' from enter ing at least a few. - Even though a priee is not won, the effort to win is stimulating and beneficial to every exhibitor. In these days of home demonstra tion agents more attention is being given to exhibits by farm women and girls, and these should be en couraged in every way possible. There are few farms which could not make a creditable exhibit of some kind and no farm should be unrepresented in its local fair. Congressman Hull of Illinois has written a piece about "Learning to Be a Congressman." Most of them are more interested in learning how to stay that way. The presidential candidates will . be officially notified soon. We hope they will not be too surprised to think of something nice to say. Even if Mr. Shaver doesn't ap prove of Mrs. Shaver's political talk he probably shows discreation in not letting on. A cave in Sicily magnifies the voice fifty times. Wouldn't Sena tor Heflin simply adore that?" The campaign is developing some promising prospects for the Ananias Club. INSIDE INFORMATION Attractive stitchery on children! clothes can be done by loosening the tension on the shuttle, and winding silk or wool embroidery yarn on the bobbin. The design is marked and stitched on the wrong side with plain white or matching thread for the upper thread. . Thick lamb chops may be seared on each side and on the edges in the broiling oven or a very hot skillet, and the broiling finished in the oven.. They should always be serv ed piping hot, 'so '.it i" necessary to have all the othejr dishes of the same meal ready when the chops are done. A large numbe of stains can be removed by water without harm to the fabric if handled promptly. Un- WhiteRestaurant Where the best 35 cent meal is served in The Dalles Next The Dalles Creamery C N.

Test the effect of water in an inconspicuous part of the garment A tasty way to cook Btrintf beans is to shred them finely, and give them a short quick cooking in a comparatively rmajl amount of lightly salted water. Remove the tips, ends, and strings, and cut the bans lengthwise, into long thin shreds, with a pair of scissors. If the bean; are young they will cook with melted butteralayayoloyloyyoll tender In from 15 to 20 minutes They will keep their bright green color and have a delicate fresh flavor. Season them with melted butter, and add more salt if neces sary. Refresing ices for summer des serts can be made from almost any i fruit juice sweetened to taste and 'flavored with a little lemon if the I juice lacks acidity. White of an ' egg may be added when the ice is ' partly frozen. J One of the eastiest emergency desserts for a "company" menue in ' summer is shortcake, made with any j fresh fruit, whipped cream, and i either fponge cake or biscuit dough. Peaches, raspberries and bananas all make good shortcakes. When' binding the neck of 'a dress, use a double bias fold about three fourth of an inch wide when fold ed. Place the raw edge along the neck of the garment with the bind ing lying on the right tide. Stitch about a quarter inch from the edge Turn the binding over and baste over and baste down, without turn ing in the folded edge. Stitch again on the right side, close to the first stitching. This catches the binding at the back and makes a neat, firm finish. Chewing gum is hard to remove from clothing, and sometimes leaves a stain. ' Chewing gum usually con tains a gum known as chicle, which has been boiled down, flavored and sweentened. Resins of various kinds are sometimc3 used. A gum stain can often be softened with an egg white and then washed. Pro longed treatment with carbon tet rachloride is also satisfactory, as a rule, although it may be necessary to remove traces by sponging with water at intervale.

ROLE IN MODERN BALLOON RAGING -1 Special Receiving Equipment At least four ot the fifteen contest ants in the last Gordon Bennett Inter national Balloon Race were equipped with radio receivers. These pilots de liberately sacrificed precious weight In the small basket suspended from the huge gas bags In return for the ad vantages to be gained through the use ot radio. The skill required in piloting a big gas bag is not generally appreciated by the laity, hence the need for radio may not be altogther clear. A bal loon having no motlre power ot its own, must drift along with the winds, somewhat after the fashion of a sail ing ship. However, the balloon has one decided advantage over the sail ing ship. In that It moves In the ver tical as well as the horizontal plane. By throwing out ballast, the pilot can rise; and by valvlng the gas, the pilot can descend. Skill In piloting the bal loon Is necessary to take full advan tage of the favorable winds that exist at various levels, and to avoid adverse winds and serious storms. Hence a knowledge ot meteorological condi tions is an Invaluable aid to successful ballooning. There is still another human ele ment that enters into consideration. A balloon in flight does not have the noise, the dash and the vibration ot the swiftly moving airplane or airship. Instead, the big gas bag floats along with the wind, and, at night, the bal loonist Is completely enveloped In a black isolation unbroken by any hu man contact. This monotony is a se rious factor in competition and must weigh In the ultimate result. With this foregoing picture In mind, It can bo understood what radio Oregon's 1928 hop crop estimated from 90.000 to 100,000 bales, ) igainst 80,000 yield last year, j About two-thirb contrated from 18 to 20 cents.

During the annual races, the National Broad casting Company uudertook to broad cast regular bulletins giving weather reports and news ot the other con testants. Aside from the Invaluable weather and news bulletins thus flashed to them, the fortunate radio-equipped balloons were enabled to listen to the eutertalument as broadcast fur below In their lonely vigil throughout tbo ulght. Ernest Derauytor, pilot of the Bel gian entry, equipped the Blglcaawltti a special adaptation of a radlola super heterodyne, supplied by the Itndlo Corporation of America, which was mounted in a weather-proof cauluet Including the batteries and a loop an tenna. The Loudspeaker was of the cone type, also mounted In a special weather proof cabinet with a leuther carrying strap. The receiver waa suspended from the ring ot tho gas bag by means ot leather straps, so that the entire cabinet, with Its en closed loop, could be orientated to take direction bearings by means ot Intercepted broadcast signals. Prior to the flight, the receiver was tested on the root ot the tallest building In Detroit, and signals 250 miles distant were brought In clear aud loud. Al though this receiver Is not primarily Intended as a radio direction Under or radio compass equipment, accurate bearings were taken and compared with a map. Thus In free ballooning, as well as In airplane and airship flight, aud on the high seas, radio has taken In place as an indispensable aid to the navigator.

When un American comes down to tlie Curllihenn iind be gins Industriously digging alonj! a const where pirates once flourished, what Is he probal ly looking for? If you answer "burled treiisure" yon agree with what the people of Santo Domingo thought when Herbert Krelg er of the United States National mu seum landed at their Island with a reiiuest to dig uniung the shell heaps left there by prehistoric cave men. Mr. Krelger had credentials. He Is a straightforward person. But he had a strong chest with his baggage I The Santo Dominicans remembered that a few years ago a pot of Haitian gold was found on the governor's estate, and they watched the digging American. The strong chest which Mr. JCreiger carefully loaded with bits of broken crockery of prehistoric In dlnns was examined Incredulously. When the visitor sailed for the States with no doubloons and with a perfect ly satisfied expression on his face, they were still puzzled. . In his report of the expedition, which Mr. Krelger has Just presented to the Smithsonian Institution, he says that the caves of Samana bay yielded some thirty kinds of shells. These represent the remains of seafood din ners eaten by Innumerable cave dwell ers who occupied the island before modern inhabitants came. Mr. Krelg er also collected bones of birds and animals cast Into the refuse heaps of the cave dwellings, and brought back specimens to show the kind of animal life that abounded In this tropical Island before Columbus' time. The task of piecing together the civilization of the prehistoric Indians was made more difficult by the fact that fertilizer concerns have removed large quantities of the shell heaps In collecting bat guano and limestone phosphate from the caves. "The regloi, Is of speciul Interest to anthropologists," Mr. Krelger reports, "because of the presence of muny heretofore unexplored aboriginal vil lage sites and cave habitations." -ilil-iH , ' 11 I,.- LJ .J" 11 m : I Maupin State Bank (INCORPORATED) CLASSIFIED LOCALS FOR SALE Durock Hoar two yenrs old last June, good grade hog, weight, 300 tbs.
