A CHANGED WORD he word "chlnook," whose birth place Is Oregon, has made its way slowly as far east as the Missouri river, as witness the following Asso ciated Press dispatch from Omaha under date of January 23: "A warm spring wind is blowing across the plains country and the snow Is everywhere disappearing under the bright sun. As the Chi nook reaches further eastward warmer weather In that direction Is developing." This word has lost its original meaning. Early Oregon pioneers ap plied the name to the northwesterly wind that prevails from June to Sep tember, and makes the summer cli mate west of the Cascade mountains the most delightful In the world. . The wind, or rather the gentle 'breeze, blows up the Columlila river every afternoon and tempers the sun's heat. The Chinook Indians dwelt on the Oregon fnow Washing ton) const, north of the Columbia's mouth, and It was but natural that the white settlers should name the wind for the tribe from whose habi tation it come. Always It Is a cool wind. Leter the name was applied to - As Required I1Y INITEU STATUS KOOH ADMINISTRATION YOf Ml ST III Y 17 POI NDS OK SI IISTITI TK WITH EACH lit POINH 8ACK OK WHEAT KWHR".

In this sense the word made Ha way about 30 years ago into Wyoming, then into Colorado, and now we hear It from the eastern boundary of Nebraska. In Its later meaning "Chinook" Is employed aa a noun, an adjective and a verb. In the "Oregon country" east of the Cascade mountains as an adjective to qualify "wind." and as a common noun and not in quota tion marks, as used In the foregoing news telegram. When the first warm breath comes from the south after freezing weather yon will hear folks in eastern Oregon and Washington, Idaho and Montana say, "It's Chl nooklng." , Thus a local word with Its orig inal signification changed entirely has traveled half way across the con tinent, has received the sanction of twentieth centnry lexicographers, and Its first meaning Is all but for gotten. The present use of "Chi nook" Is an Illustration of how, even in our day, language changes. Evening Telegram. A move initiated by Hen Sheldon, former manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has resulted in the In troduction of a bill by Congressman Hawley, (H.'B. No. 04S providing for the use, at the Grants Pass post office of a cancellation stamp bearing the words' "Oregon Caves;" and at the Medford postoffice such a stamp bearing the words, "Crater Iike." Such stamps are In use at Tacoma advertising Mount Rainier and at a couple .of Wyoming cities advertis ing Yellowstone Park. It means that every letter leaving the local post office will call the attention of its addressee and others who handle it, to the great natural attractions of southern Oregon. FRUITDALE J. 8.

For the wants 1 The American woman demands quality even when she thinks most about economy. t That is one reason why Maaola, the pure oil from corn, for deep frying, sautemg, shortening and salad dressings is now used in thousands of homes in preference to butter, lard or suet. And since the Food Administration asks us to save these fats the housewife is especially glad to have a cooking oil which, is so pure, wholesome anil economical. Not one drop of Mazola is wasted it can be used over and over again as it does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another. It is as pure and sweet as the met clcliaitc food rooked in it and it makes fried foods more easy to digest free from crea.Mncs or socuiiicss. Use Mazola for your salad dressings, loo r.;!:ei them especially delicious. Get Mazola from your grocer in pint, quart, half-cnlloq or callon tins: The i larce sizes give greatest economy.
