Clv way one may start off with Wal I Ji'ulck. who has been biennially sup K3'cd as a coturesslonul nosslbtllt nnd a little bird soems to tell ut hereabouts that Walter Is begtnntiir to think the accepted time will bt aloiiR about the fall of 1920 for r sloiiRh Into the blR pond. Jt Is r known fact that Walter's tingort havo been fairly itching to wave about the end ot his I.lncolucsque arms In congressional balls and If they ever wave there no ono Is de nying the fact that that particular member of the Dimlck family will be able to make itself heard. Lively Seance Fore-eon. "What a scurrying of tho lovers of the flesh pots there will bo If Walter over puts Into motion his' true Clack amas county spirit of economy and hurls It at the national lawmakers! However, in this same legislature which is coming up in January Wal ter is not alone by any means in his congressional aspirations. For instance, there Is Louis Dian, 'who thinks he has practiced law long enough in Kugene. Louis is thor oughly satisfied that he could pre sent a shining mark in congress and that numerous Issues ot national gravity arc awaiting solution at his hands, Louis Lachmuud, former mayor ot Salem, also did not dip Into the senatorial tank for the sole pur pose of representing Marion county during the next four years, not by any means, nnd it Is barely possible that Louis might wish to oust Haw ley from the seat which he has lovod end kept so long.: W. H. Qoro down Med ford way, as well as C. ,M. Thomas from the same ballwlck and Ike Patterson of fqr.fained Kola, the luimlct that once lost tho itato capital by ono vote all of these gents believe they are congressional timber. The seance will be quite lively and each and everyone of the political birds mentioned will do his durndest to make a record during the coming session. H.-nvley Mny Seek Topi. AH see chances from the First dis trict as they are looking ahead to Haw ley allowing his valor to become the better part of his discretion. It in whispered about a bit that Hawie.v may try to rip the toga from the tack of Our George. In the ranks of prospective candi dates for governor, like Abou Ben Adhem, leading all the rost. Is one Seymour Jonas, .who will sit on the very pinnacle of the seats of the mighty in the forthcoming somIoti of the lower house, Jones hasn't Hald a word about lite gubornatlonal aspirations himself, but to one sitting on a rail fence and winching the Honorable Seymour passing ly tho aforementioned aspirations stick out all over him like quills from a pcrcuplnp Hilly Vinton and Arthur Orton tilso may have tucked away, way 'back in the rear of their cerebrums somewhere the idea that If the peo ple call in a loud and unanimous voice they might become Cincinnati and surrender up tho plough and the sheepskin for tho big chair-now occu pied by tho Hon. James Wlthycombe. Way down In Coos county ono I. S.

It Is also astonishing to see on the rostor of legislators that lion Olcott uis prepared the names of the satin non who have told the writer at tin nd of each sowdon for many, nmn losslons back Hint never again would hey appear in the legislative halls It Is moro than likely that many of Uiose are contemplating becoming "lamlldntos for other offices just ti wold this insistent and annoying way that their constituents have of ihovlng them willy nllly back Into the legislative halls. Private Scheme Noted. While the legislators themselves havo somo aspirations along tho lino ot landing other men's Jobs, somo of the other fry have their little schemes under way for working the legisla tors. As an instance, It is reported about the Statu Capitol, that Spouce Wormian, sealer of weights nnd measures, would not be In any way opposed to seeing tlfe weights and measuros Job slipped by the legisla ture out from under Stato Treasurer- elect O. P. Hoff and put into some moro convenient placo the public service commission, for Instance. Brother Hoff will appoint W. A. Pal lid as deputy sealer of weights and measures which will leave Spenco out of a position that ho likes very much, nnd which It may be said in nil candor and fairness, he has hand led in very good shape. On the public servico commission sits Frederick G. Uuchtel, who Is a very, very good friend indeed of Spence, and a child who ts taking his first lesson In the political primer could understand quite readily why Spence would prefer to see the weights nnd measures office consoli dated with the public service commis sion. Considerable talk has been passed also as to Just what Is going to bo done for Judge Thomas F. Itynn, of Oregon City, deputy state treasurer. He will not be retained In the treas urer's office, that Is certain, but many Republicans aro Inclined to feel that some berth should bo made for him If he wishes It and thero Is wondorment as to Just what that berth will be. CIVIL WAR VETERAN WEDS TUMALO WOMAN Samuel H. Davis was Lieutenant In I'ir-.t Union Company Organ ized in West Vlri-lnla. Sfimutl H. Davis, of Clovurdalc, veteran of tho Civil war, and Mrs. Clara K.

Mr. and Mrs. Davis left today for Long Iioach, Cnl whoro thay will stop for a time before pro ceeding to Fort Sill, Okla., to make their home. The groom was a nontenant in the first company raised for the Fedora! army In West Virginia, at the time tho war of the Ilebolllon broke out. In bplto of his advancing years, he Is tho physical equal to many a younger man, and until a few months ago personally managed his Clovcrdalo ranch. His daughter, Mrs. W. P. Myers, resides In Iiend. Both Mr. and Mrs. Davis havo lived In tho vicinity of Uend for a number of years past.

If you should try to learn what hup peiied In the period between Septem ber It ami September lit, 17.VJ, you will And no records, for those dates do not exist. I'nder the old stylo enlemlar, September V 17f-, fell on Wednesday. The next day tho Gregorian or now stylo calendar n adopted by Great Britain and her American colonies, and the tittle set forward to September 1 1. l'i to this time tho Julian calendar hud been followed by the Kngtlsh sinking world. As reformed by Julius Caesar In -id M. l It made the year consist of :iiW days anil six hours, with nn extra day added to February each fourth j ear to tueouut for the six hours. This was the most accurate calendar ear yet devised, but It was 11 minutes ami II seconds longer than tho true solar year of JUIT days, i hours, IS minutes and -III seconds, amounting to a day In l-'S years. Pope Gregory XIII corrected this alHiut 1IWJ by dropping ten days from the calendar and ordaining that on the ono hundredth year In three out of every four centuries the o.xtrtt day for leap year should not be counted. Six teen hundred was a leap year and '-tKK will be one. but 1700, 1S(X) ami 11HKI were not. Kven this calendar Is Jttl seconds too fast, amoimtlug to a year In Itx'ti'l years, so when -HHK eomo around It will have to be robbed of Its lent) year day to correct this differ ence. The Grogorlnn calendar was adopted In Catholic countries. Including France. Italy, Spain and Portugal. In LWJ. and within a short time by the Germans, SwKs and lltiiiRarlau.s, but not until 17.VJ by Knglaud and her great colonial empire. TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to De the Best Backing That Can De Employed. Tho electrician Is frequently re quired, In the Installation of wires In finished buildings, to cut holes here and there through the plastered walls of ceilings. Before these holes can be replnsteretl some sort of backing must be put In which will take the place of the lath. Tho majority of men make use of old rags'or paper for this pur pose. The writer, In reptnstorlng holes, uses a backing of ordinary wire screen. The wire should be cut about one quar ter Inch larger than the hole to bo flllcd, nnd when pressed Into It will be found to make a good, stiff bucking, as tho edges hold It llrtnly In place. Far less plaster will bo necessary with this backing than with the others, which will cover the cost of the wire screen, nnd a more workmanlike ami durable Job Is obtained. W. 1. Perry, In Klcc tric World. Protection (or Birds. Somo twenty Mates of the Union have provided bird sanctuaries, or laws for tho proteetlon of migratory birds on their long 'lllghts In crch of feeding places. The matter has even been made the subject of an In ternational treaty between the United States and Canada affecting practi cally all birds that regularly migrate between the two countries. The treaty provides. In effect, that no bird important to agriculture because of fiiKect-dohtroylng proclivities shall lie shot at mfj time. Second, that no open game season on any species of game limit extend for a longer period than lx months. Third, that both the countries xhnll so restrict omui seasons on game birds us to prevent them from being taken during the breeding season. Noah's Ark In China. A curious Chinese picture Is of great antiquity, ami Is supplied to repre sent X iIi'h ark on tho top of Mount Am rat. As Is well known, tho re ligious literature of almost every na tion and race contains an account of a deluge, but a Chinese manuscript re cently unearthed follows very closely the story as recorded In tho ISlblo. It Is particularly Interesting lit that tho roof of the Chinese ark Is of the gablo variety associated with tho Noah'K arks which prove such enter taining toys for our youngsters. The Chinese picture, however, shows a double-storied vessel, and, so far from there being only ono window In the roof, thero nru windows In every pos slhlo space. It would be Interesting If sjirno Chinese scholar or antiquarian could discover the exact date of the drawing. Literature's Deglnnlng In Amer'ca. The North American Itevluw was es tablished In 1815; Bryant'H "Thunii topsls" was published In 1817; and When the good-natured Monroe, after a presidency thnt was culled "tho era of good feeling," went out of olllce, al though Whlttlcr was still a boy on his futher's farm, and Longfellow nnd Hawthorne were still undergraduates at Bowdoln college, and Emerson was still a country schoolteacher, Atnetl can literature was Urn, Tho thlncr was settled.

DAHLIA IS MAKING FRIENDS Once Humble Flower Rapidly Delng Drought to High Position by tho Matter Florists. The chrysanthemum Is not to have ocr, thing Us own way In (he world ol (lowers. No doubt the chrysanthemum show gels more of the limelight ol publicity than a dahlia show, hut tin gorgeous blossom (hat was once culled "the Him old maid of tho llower world' Is having Us "shows" or exhibitions Jut the same, and the reports have It that they are attended by large crowd The dahlia show has heeotuu a rogului thing In many cities and It Is sold Ihul there aro persons who can work up quite as much enthusiasm for the dull Ha as for the "mum." The dahlia, from a very simple ami home-loving llower. has become somewhat of a so chtl pet. It was not many years ago that the ilithlla bloomed In the yards of small homes. Sometimes It grew In the ft'ou yard and sometimes In the buck ard It might he remarked here that the "yard," especially the "front yard," has disappeared. Nobody now has a front yard. Nobody who l.s anywhere near up to ditto would hiue such a thing about the house. The piece of real estate which wo ued to call the front yard has become tho "lawn." Well, formerly tho dahlia growonl In the yards of humble homes. It had not broken Into what Is culled "so clely." Fashionable "grounds" could not think of admitting such a plain hardy ami highly coloted citizen of the llower world as n Mere dahlia. It did not belong to their set. Hut the merit of this llower and the high state of cul ture which It has attained under the guidance and tuition of muster llorlsts has forced the proudest gardens to open their gates or let down their fences. The dahlia now holds up Its stately head among the exclusive set of tuberoses, gludlln. carnations ami the like. "SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY Term Had Its Origin Long Ago In a Plot Which Involved Existence of Sparta. The origin of the phrase sub rosu, "under the rose." Implies hecreoy. and had Its origin In the year -177 It. C, at which time Pauiiinliirt, the commander of the confederate tleet of the Spur tans and Athenians, uis engaged In Intrigues with Xnsuu for the subju gallon of Greece to the lVmlun rule, and for the hand of he monarch's daughter In marriage. The negotia tions were carried on In a building attached to the temple of Minerva, culled the Braxeii house, the roof of which was a garden forming n bower of roses; so that the plot, which was conducted with the utmost secrecy, was lilt-rally matured under the roses. PnuxuuhiH, however, was hctrajod by one of Ids eiuissarluM, who, by a pro concerted plan with tho overseers and counselors of state, the In nuinlmr. gave them u seert optortunlty to hear front the lips of I'hiumiuihm the acknowledgment ut Ids trisiwm. To escape arrest, he lied to tin- temple of Minerva, and as the sHiirtlly of the place forbade intrusion, the people walled up the edltko so tiuit be might dlu of starvation. The Welcome CueiL There Is scarcely aityono who docs not wish to bo a welcome guest, et everyone knows that some persons pos sess the ability to make themselvi-s tar ti)oro desirable In the home than others. Tho vUltor who brings a sun ny, fresh point of lew with her Is ul wuys sure of a cordial reception, pro viding she U careful to curry out cer tain other requisites which a stieeo fill guoMt Is wise enough to follow, whether she has ever aiialyxed tlicm In this cold fashion or not. It might bo safe to guens that she has never thought about It all, hut, guided sim ply by her sincere tbwlre Hi expros real fellowship, has Instinctively ful filled her obligations. Vet when con sidered, perhaps tho one thing moro than another which Insures one's re newed welcome may bo summed up In the single word, adaptability. Cane It Mark of High Office. It has been tho custom of the sur geon of the king of P.uglaud to carry u "gold-headed cane." This cane has been handed down to tho various In cumbents of tho olllce since tho days of Dr. John ltadcllffe, who was tho first "holder of tho cane." It has been u him I for - years or more by the greatest physicians nnd surgeons In the world, who succeeded to It. The "gold-heatled cane" was adorned by n crossbar at tho top Instead of n knob, The fact Is explained by Mtiuk, In that ltadcllffe, the first owner, was a rule unto himself, and probably pre ferred this device as a mark of dis tinction from the knob used by iniy sliiuns In general. Life of Congrees. Knch congress lasts two years and under the Constitution must assemble at leust once each year. Two regular sessions aro "held, both beginning on the first Monday In December. The long session lasts from December of each odd year until congress ndjourns, generally on tho following Juno or July, and tho short session, beginning In December of each even year, ends nt noon on tho following March 4. The long session (in.iy last until tho next session begins, while tho short session Is ended by the expiration of tho two yciirh' term for which the. ccjigress Is elected on Mnrcli -1, following Its meeting, 1 VWfi$ I ii I JC you have two dollars JLJ join the Red Cross with one and start a Savings Ac count with the other.
