ORE.. DEC. 19 1913 A Grand Bonde farmer says to the La Gtaode Observer: "There was a time when none of us raised anything bat bay and cattle. We never thought about raising anything else. But this creamery notion came along and we found that a miloh cow would earn enough to pa? running expenses of the farm. I hesitated for quite a while but finally I got up with the rest of my neighbor and we began milking a few oows. Now, I want to say to yon that every month I go in to Mr, Lambert or Johnny Gilkinson t the Powder Valley bank with my cbeok and transfer quite a little sum to my checking aooount. Takejt from me, the oows are an essential to farming and ono of the best money getters a farmer oan have."

One of the very bestspeoial editions issued by any of our exobanges this year comes from the offioe of the lone Bulletin. The Bulletin, pntllsbed by L. K. Harlan, last week got out a superb 80-page edition exploiting the wealth and resources of lone and Mor row oounty. Well printed, a gem ty pograpbioally ; and brimfnl of well written information, and liberally supplied with advertising matter, the Bulletin special edition sets a maik of perfection that will make the other fellows hustle to reaoh. When Britain Fought For an Ear. Perhaps the most extraordinary ex ample of Britain going to war for "no reason at all" occurred In the reign of George II. One Bobert Jenkins, an English merchant-captain, trading from Jamaica, arriving in Englaud tn 1738. reported that the sloop had been board ed by the Spanish coast guards and that, though no proof of smuggling had been found, he had been tortured and his ear torn off. . All England flew into an uproar. , "Jenkins' ear" divided par lies and shook Wnlpole's ministry It Keif. The bouse of commons sent for Jenkins, and he was told to bring his ear with him. The Incident grew Into a crisis, though YVnlpole did his best to persuade people to keep their heads, but the popular indignation was so great that the next year the govern merit was compelled to declare war against Rpnln.-Penrson's. tbe 20th day of December, A.

Cowes had many ups and downs be fore it finally attained Its destiny as the headquarters of yachting. Sir John OKlander. writing in Stuart times, says, "I knew when there was not above three or four houses at Cowes," but he had counted 300 ships at an chor there, "and I was and am pcr siiiitVd that If our wars and troubles had not unfortunately happened it would have (.Town as famous as New port" The wars complained of were the civil wars. Foreign war hud been a line tlilnj for Co'.yes, since the war ships bought the Island's produce there. But the civil wars struck the gentry hard, and Sir John udds the coming of lawyers as another curse. The first at torney was expelled from the Island by the governor as n public danger. "Now peace and law hath beggared us all," says Sir John. London. Chronicle. Books by Weight. Many years ago in San Francisco there was a bookseller who had an in timate knowledge of Action prices, but who was all , astray when It came to general literature or scientific, works. A customer baring selected a volume would ask the price and, without so much as bothering to look at the title, If be saw that It was not a novel, the seller would roughly weigh it on his hand and name tbe sum. Many a bargain was picked up in that way, but as the bookseller also bought on tbe same principle, be never lost any thing to speak of.-Snn Francisco Chronicle. Bracelets.

Seoretary Lane has aunounoed that the classification of publio lands as i'rlgable or non-irtigable, in conform- iy with the administration of the UUO-aoie homestead laws, is being ac complished satisfactorily. In many parts of tbe West settlers are comply ing with the 820 aore homestead lawsl and reaping exoellent returns by dry farming the laud. Particularly is this ti ue of certain seoUous of tbe state of Idaho, where a number of onnuty people have taken land. Umatilia i The average pay of every man, wo man and child in the United States who works for wages will this year te close to 810. In 1900 the aveiBge pay was only f 179, and thirty years before that but 1370. Tbe above stu tlstioa are taken from a leoent govern moot report, and it is safe to say the wage earner who earned 370 thirty years ago did not have as bard a time to "make enda meet" aa does bit son of today, with his salary of $010. Conforming with Ibe established policy of tbe administration, tbe res toration to entry of about 487,000 aores in three oountiea in Washington has been madf. These lands were supposed to contain large ooal depos its, but it has teen found on examin ation by tbe United States geological survey that the deposits are insignificant.
