SUN ME EN'S EGG NOODLES ' and SAUCE Made in Oregon KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality and Service REDUCING THE WASTE -r -f (By Harry Gale Nye In Implement Record) About the only way some women think of reducing the waste la to tighten up on the at rings ot their corset. And yet, with all this talk about the high cost ot high living, one real good way to reduce the high cost would be to reduce the high waste. "U. S." not only means "United' States," but it also means "Useless Spenders.' We not only blow about our money, but we also blow it about ' We kick about every price and pay any price. And we waste more than we use. More goes Into our gar bage cans than goes, into our stom achs; we spend more on the theatre than we do on the church, and are always trying to put up a front, whether we have anything back of it or not. We lore to put on the dog, forget ting thai a dog of that kind is a dog gone expensive animal. We try to live as well as the neighbors do, and the neighbors try to live as well as they think we do. We haven't as much money as people think we have, and often we don't have us much money as we spend. A man said to me one time, when a' plumber refused bim credit: "I don't know what is .the matter with the people around here: I make $175 a month, and I spend $250 of it right here In this town." We ought to reduce some of the waste, and I have thought ot a few ways we could. Take clothes, for example:-3nstead of having one good suit for Sunday and funerals' and an ordinary suit for week-day's, we most of us don't have even the one good suit. Instead we have about 50 suits that look as though they ought to De taken out of circulation. We Tear them "turn around" until it isn't safe for us to turn around." It may be that many an honest heart beats under a patched pair of pants, but 4f we had one good suit without the patch probably no one would doubt our honesty. That is one good thing about having money: A man doesn't have to be honest, be cause people think he is anyway Most of the men In the world who are good are good principally be cause they are under suspicion. Mar riage doesn't make a man good, but It often keeps him good. If we would run to the tailor with a suit wnen it 'begins to go as promptly as we a o to the garage with a car when it doesn't. It wouldn't cost us so much for our clothes. And shoes we cast them into the burning fire when all they need is now soles. And smoking what a lot of money we fellows do waste on smok ing. You can operate a pipe for a nickel a day, but the overhead of a humidor Is something fearful. . If our wives blew as much money on chocolates as we do on cigars (and they wood it they had it) we would talk to them about extrava gance and Indigestion and ask them what is the matter with their com plexion. After all H Is the little things that count, as the old maid said when her small brother told 'her age. It is the dime we save here' and there that makes the dollars we have here, I wouldn't want any man to be parsimonious, and I try to treat my self pretty well, and often; but there are a lot ot things that we could get along without, and be just as happy without, besides the singing ot the girl next door. But, If the little, things count, the big things are not to be despised. We (Americans are just as good was ters at wholesale as we are at re tail. Take strikes, for example. I am just as eager as anybody that every man gets everything that is coming to him. But a' strike, at that, is a somewhat expensive amuse ment. It is like a doctor; it ought to be called In only .when it Is ne cessary, tor the doctor's bill is likely to be large. It might be a grand idea it we would all agree to go back to work for a month and see how it would work out Tou remember about the old lady who couldn't get home be cause the stick wouldn't beat the dog, and the fire wouldn't burn the stick, and the water wouldn't quench the fire, etc.? But when they did begin to do their duty and to beat and to burn and to quench, etc., the old lady got home in a jiffy; or may be it was a jitney. Anyway she got home. t There is a lot of unrest in the country,- and it isn't all due to the cooties. That is, that Is what peo ple say. But the trouble with the country isnt too - much unrest as much as it is too much resting. Let us reduce the waste of resting, and that will take care of the rest. 14.000,000 XEW VOTES A recent conference of the demo cratic national committee is said to have spent most of its time discus sing methods of reaching the women voters. It is safe to say that the re publican national committee is deep ly interested in the same problem, and that if the much advertised "third party" is formed, it will like wise devote its beet efforts to win ning the women. There is good practical reason for all this political courtship. It is es timated that if the suffrage amend ment is ratified in time for the next presidential election, as it Is likely to e, mere wm oe I4,uuu,vuu new feminine ballots. Added to the wom en already possessing the franchise these millions might easily decide the approaching national election. There Is no expectation that the women will stick together very con spicuously. Most of them will prob ibly vote as their male relatives and friends do. But there is no telling. Women, may be Just as uncertain a factor In poltlcs as they are in other matters. And Inasmuch as there Is generally no very wide margin of strength between the two big par ties, it is (possible that a million or two of women sticking together for any definite purpose might wield the balance of ipower. The women, .t any any rate, need have no fear of being treated dis respectfully in their first 'big voting experience'. The male politicians have such a wholesome fear of their vot ing power that they will be treated with the utmost respect and consld eration. KKW KINDS OK 11KKP Musk ox, says Stefansson, the fa mous Arctic explorer, is destined to be the most common form ot meat served on American tables within 40 years. This meat is not only very good and palatable, but It is so much like the familiar beet that consumers can only tell the two varieties apart by the mark stamped upon them. Reindeer meat, too, ia to be used generally In this country. The meat is considered by many people to be about as' palatable as beef. The price ot both these meats ought to be considerably less than current prices for beef. The animals can be raised very cheaply Indeed, and require little care. The hides of the musk 'ox and reindeer are also valuable. Reindeer skin makes excellent glove and shoe leather. And the musk ox has been called by the explorer a "cow with a coat ot wool." It has a woolly coat concealed beneath its long, hairy outer coat, which has manu facturing possibilities. At present Mr. Stefansson la In Canada working for the government with the purpose of Introducing these meats in that country. He antici pates early success. There is no rea son why he should not succeed in Canada or why the use of such meat should not spread to this country. People who shrink from the use ot locusts in their normal diet will surely find no objection to venison and a new variety of beej that Is just as good as our American beef and much, cheaper. The -police of Youngstown, Ohio, found a whiskey still in an automo bile which was wrecked the other night. That whiskey smash was an unavoidable accident, if one ever was. Life is full of contradictions. Ac cording to the latest congressional decision, you may keep whiskey in your home still, but you may not keep a whiskey still in your home. DAY OF THE "FLAPPER" IS El 'London, Oct. 14. 'Flippant girls are to be barred from the office of the new ministry of- transport be cause Sir Eric Geddes, the new min ister of that department objects to low-necked blpuses, flashy dresses, gossip in the corridors and organized tea parties. A woman secretary told a repor ter: "Sir Eric does not like to see crowds of these young people about. I am told that he dislikes very much the 'loud' apparel and particularly low necks' and he has no time for their childish laughter and chatter ing. He has expressed a' wish that the women members of the staff shall 'be staid and wear" 'quietlsh' clothes. The days c-f the flapper are over, at least as far as this depart ment is concerned."

TO TEACH VALUE OF Oregon Agriculture College, Cor- vallls. Oct. IS. A short course on using the home newspaper to sell surplus farm produce will be offered farmers attending farmers week at the college. December 29 to January S, by C. J. .Mcintosh, former, farm writer and ex-newspaper man. "I have known farmers to pay a local commission man $30 to tell 100 tons ot alfalfa; at $20 a ton. when the could have told Jt by paying the editor a dollar," said Mr. Mcintosh In announcing the course. 'They then could have kept the extra $49, credited It to the buy er or split it with him. I asked why not advertise and sell direct, and they said, 'Why, I never thought of it.' "Not only the advantage but the method of using the home paper will be considered. The success ot the advertisement depends on the facts selected for announcement, the form In which they are stated, and the re putation of the advertiser. All of these except the last will be ex plained and so fur as possible dem onstrated." Specimen advertisements that have been business-gutters with re sults are wanted for this course. Using the home press is not only profitable business but sound public policy as well, Mr. Mcintosh asserts. F CUT INTO RICE CROPS Sacramento, Cal., Oct. 13. Wild ducks are raising havoc with a' con siderable portion of the Sacramento valley rice crop. J. H. Stephens says his loss this year due to wild ducks will amount to $12,000. Stephens declares he was refused protection by government representatives until the damage had been done. Martin kuuter, one of the pioneer rice growers here will sell his crop this year for more than $700,000. Kuster has 3200 acres In the Wheat land district which will yield 128, 000 sacks of rice. Kuster Is now planning to set out a large acrenxe in tobacco. ' FARMERS 10 FAILED T Helena. -Mont., Oct. 14. Much stock, according to press indications, will be held on the ranges ot the state during the-' coming winter. While thousands of head have been shipped, good sized herds, remain and range feed for these Is reported to be In sight. ' Reports indicate that stockmen are not discouraged but will reship back to Montana next spring, ' when normal conditions are hoped for, all the cattle and home. sent out of the state as a result ot the partial drouth of last summer. Dry land farmers who had not been on their farms long enough to diversify their crops were the chief sufferers from the drought this year, according to a statement Issued by Charles D.'Ofeenfield, commissioner ot agriculture and publicity, "In the irrigated sections good crops of hay, grain and other pro ducts were rained and with the high prices farmers 'of this class have had a good season," the statement said. "In the dry land farming section the reason the drouth has been so severely felt la because as a rule these farmers were what may be termed v 'one crop producers.' In a majority of cases with the failure of their jjraln crop they bad nothing else on which to rely." li.Oiro BONIS FOR PAT .MOHAN Cincinnati, Oct. 14.
