JULY 12 1912 There is uo pablio diKuitary whose civic semoe is more laudable than that of sobool director, otseiveB one of our exobauRac His aervioe is per80ual saoriOoe for public good. He reaps no beDelit save and except tbe satisfaction to know tbat be baa served well nud devoted bia talents for tbe bettor meat of an institution tbat in tbe foundation of demooratio rov ernment. Too often be ia abused for acta ot commission and malfeasance wben bis only purpose is tly improve ment of Iih district school. , He plays no jjoliliap, because be never bankers for a seooud term. He never accel erates bia porsonal popularity, increas es bis worldly goods or leaches a pin nacle of everlasting renown. He does not expect cor is be looking for praise. No one pats biua on tbe back. Words of encouragement art to hitn as soaioe as ben'a teetb and be just tightens on tbe tags nnd with heavy strain and steady poll starts bis load, which be polls until bia successor Ja duly elects aud qualified. ,, Washington politicians ere up in be air rather badly, as to tbe possible effect of the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for president fcy tbe Demo crats, BeioK u Progressive, bis vio - tory is boand to hurt tbe chances of Theodore Koonevf It, who declines he is going to run as a Progressive Re pnblioan. This condition is bout) d to react iu the case of oaudidutes for state office, many of wbom have teeu holding off in making tbeir announce ment. As it looks cow, so it is re ported, there will te three tickets in the Washington field: Republican, Democrat and Progressive. The ulti mate resolt is one tbat is giving rise to considerable speculation. Washing ton Democrats have declared tbeir in tention of liuioR up tack of Wilson and Marshall, although they voted for Champ Clark solidly until his defeat was accomplished. Oregon should capture tbe prize for the test five bnsbelsof wheat grown in tbe American Northwest this year, but to do so will require careful selec tion and Indeed it may be necessary to hand pick the wheat. It will pay to do it. for a prize of f 5,000 is offered 'ty the Northwest Development League for the best Hve bushels ex hibited at the Minneapolis Land Show in November. With tbe splendid groin crop assnred for Eastern Oregon, this part of the slate Hboold Imve any qnautlty Df first oliss wheat to eotr at this show, Commercial bodies of the stBte are showiug iotciest iu the collection of Oregon exhibits to be showu tuN winter at the land shows of the Middle Went. In response to a call sout out by Manage? Cbupuiuu of tbe Oregon Development League, inauy cities liavo been heard from, caoh promising to collect samples of tho best products crown there Ibis season nnd it seems a good collection Is assured. No looolity should allow Itself to be norepreseuted. A, Wi Eagle, oleik of the United Btates -District court for WeBteru Washington, firmly believes tbat the touturalizatlou laws should be more rigid. 'lbs Immigration Comuiittoe bf Congress has befoie it a till for simplifying these luws and Eugle has Written a letter of protest. He recom mends that provision te made for can celling naturalization papers for cause. At tbe present time, it is uecessary to lirova fraud tefoie the privileges oi citizenship can be taken away. Mr. Englo- wants It possible to ooroel the papers nt citizeui who hnult the Hag and agitate ugaiust the govern ment to which they have sworu alle giance. Iu most instances tbe mal contents who have Ueu stirrirg op things iu this coputiy of lute ore nat uralized citizens. We are iu receipt from the state tax commirtsion of four petition for tax reforms. 1 he reforms are a constitu tional amuudiumit authorizing tbe taxation of iiicomtm; a law to exempt from taxtitHKi household furniture, wearing uppsiel aud muiilar nupro duotive ptrsinalty ; a law to exempt mortgage uote aud ether otedits from taxation, thereby aboUshlug double taxation of the sumo piopeity value; and a law revisiug the iobuitauee tax law, following (be niodfl law ie oomiiieiideil ty tbe Nalioual. iax A suoiatioL', The piopoMed law would iu Ciease the slole reveuue fioui iudiieot souroes. , These laws will be on tbe ballot at tbe November election. Tbe postal savings bank at Canyon City, says tbe Eagle, is a financial ,in Btitntion backed ty the strongest gov ernment in tte work but as a banking house it would never exoite tbe envy of Rockefeller. It bas been in oper ation now for some time and op to date bas bnt tour costomeis and tbeir banking aoooocts are limited to two figures. August Belmont begs to remind William J.Bryan tbat be, Mr. Bel mont, was a Democrat wben'Bryau was a Populist. That's nothing to brag of. Boss Tweed was a Democrat before Bryan was a Populist. While the' secret of William J. Bry an's popular power is onder diBOossion why not oousider bis superior appre hension of tbe directness and simplic ity of tbe deujocratio mind. HUMOR OF THE DAY ' Conservative. A woman on "Columbia road engaged a now housemaid the other day and was immediately delighted at the ex hibition of the new servant's efficien cy Norah waited on the table with perfect mastery; she nnswered the front door bell with matchless grace; she never once grumbled when told she must wear a cap; her dusting was a marvel of orderliness. But the mistress of the apartment was astonished when tho new maid had been In the house about n week to find her cherished "Victory of Saroo thrnco" was covered with duRt. The beautiful headless body stood gray and unlovely on Its pedestal, nnd the "Victory's" owner called Norah to see what the matter might be. ' "I can't understand this, Nornh," she said. "Everything else Is kept so spotless. How have you happened to neglect the little statue? Have you dusted It at nil?" Norah admitted that she had not and said no more. "But why?" the mistress persisted. "Why?" And then miserably the maid owned up. "I'm a bit awkward with me fin gers, mum," she murmured shyly. "An' I saw how. bad It was broke, mum, an' I was afraid o' droppln' it an' maliln' It worsel" Washington (Star. Saving His Shoes. Hobnobbing at the city liall with the polltlclons certainly keeps the wits keen. The city ball man was berry ing offlccward, aud In his hurry he overlooked n little piece of -glare lee upon the sidewalk. Therefore when ho stepped thereon the sidewalk came up to meet hlin, and lie coasted several feet, but uot on his feet. "Hub!" grunted the eros!ti police mnn. "Slip down?" . "No," snapped the city ball man. "I'm traveling this way now to save my shocsP'-Boston Traveler. Heroic. "Yes; 1 once saved a n'l'l from drown ing." "How was that?" "She wus out rowlns with u fellow who began to rock the boat." "Yes?" "1 yelled to her to Jump out and wndo ashore befoie tlie.v i;ot where the water wns any deeper "Chicago Rocord-Ueruld Pure Bred Dairy Cattle. The tendency toward building up tie dairy business, like that of every oth er business. Is toward the best possible conditions for the most profit. . Every one recognizes the fact that high grade conditions In any I. ashless only ap proximates the best aiul most profit able. The highest and most profitable dairy herd Is tbat of pine tired cows as well as sites. The grade herds which were here and there first estab lished are slowly giving way to puro bred cows Willi tbe pure broils of noted milk nnd butler strains the grade herds nre being superseded all over tho couutry. Wherever established they are proving more profitable than grade herds for the reason that, as u rule, by a marked per cent over grades they prove better. Any one with n grade dairy herd can gradually build up a pure bred one by commencing with a few registered cows and a good sire at tho head. The surplus of such herds, both males nnd heifers, can be sold at better prices than grades, and so both in butter and surplus animals such herds are proving more profitable. Colemau'g Rural World. Charcoal For Poultry. Charcoal is nn excelleut corrective of the evils of injudicious overfeeding nnd Is also a good remedy In bowel disorders In poultry. Having wonder ful absorbent powers, especially for gases, only a small quantity should be put Into the feed hoppers nt n tlnio ou account of Its absorptive nature, it should bo kept in a thoroughly dry ves sel with a close fitting cover, so as to exclude the nlr. If charcoal is heated well before given to the poultry it will have a tendency to drive off the Im purities which mny have become ab sorbed and it will be equal to fresh cburconl. IN THE REALM OF FASHION A . Spring Model. The headgear depicted here has' a crown of delft blue satin and a brim of soft white tagel straw, with a loose IH DIjCI BATIS AMI WHITE 6TB AW. bunch of satin flowers in front. There are strings to fasten it under its wear er's chin. The Fashionable Figure. Corsets are Bhorter under the bust and all around than at the beginning of winter. They are really corsets no longer, except to bind the hlp3. Women used to like curves; but, ac cording to the dictates of the coutu riers, the healthy woman Is vulgar and dowdy. Everything is suppressed In the fig ure. But and hips are made as small as possible. It used to be the case that people admired a plump figure and curves. Nowadays the woman that bas no hips aud is flat of bust, the same size all the way down, is the beauty. The fashionable woman might as well be a boy in outline so far as figure is concerned. Taffeta Hats. ' One of the newest features in milll nery Is the taffeta hat, nnd In practi cally nil Instances It Is shirred or else put upon the frame full. The crowns are many times, of the tnm-o'-shanter design, but not in the straight fiat style we are accustomed to. They nre lined softly to give it some height and cnught on the side back or front to give it irregularity and therefore make it immeasurably more becoming to women. THE POPULARITY OF SMALL HATS, Fancy Shapes Daintily Trimmed With Flowers and' Ribbons. The little hat, as shown in some of the now spring models, is extremely picturesque. In one case tbe bat bas n bag to match. Made of biscuit straw in helmet style, the hat has. a crown of printed crape In old world reds, blues, greens, browns, etc., touched with black. The bat fits the head closely, showing the hair a little at tbe front nnd sides. The bag in two sections hangs from the wrist from bracelet rings of the crape. The ends nre in bine straw, one being finished with a mirror, the other having dainty little vanity fit tings. A small bat in purple pedal straw has a quaint little brim turned back from the face with a printed badd in faded blues, greens, etc., a strap of the printed fabric being carried from side to side under the chin. A floral bow finishes the back. Among tho straw hats of smaller shape there Is a canvas design bound nud lined with royal blue velvet worthy of note. Round the low fiat crown there is a kilted rucblng of tbo canvas outlined with emerald wool threads, and in the center of each plait there is a curious little red and green flower worked In wool. For the evening there is a dainty little cap with a crown of gold and aluminium mesh banded with gold and finished with a fringe of gold beads. Round the gold band there is a series of small flowers worked in red and green beads. Leather Belt. 80 far the use of the leather belt has been confined largely to tho simple Jackets, many of which are in belted style. Tho old fashioned straight around leather belt does not yet appenr strongly ou tho horizon of fashion. Its reappearance, however, is suggested, nnd there is a strong possibility of de velopment In this direction. Economy of the Silo. Com Is simply a big grass, nnd cat tle dn their best ou grass. Ensilage has much' tho same nature ns grass and affects cattle lu tho samo way. In fact, tho same results can bo had from feeding ensilage in winter that are ob tained on blue grass pasture In sum mer nnd on very much less land. Tula is one of the economies of the silo. A lurge crop of the best of green feed can be preserved froui a relatively small amount of land. Kansas Farm er. , Easy Enough. Tommy'.. Mnmnin-Wuy arvn't you a good boy Ilk Willie Bjones?
