Miss Lorene Parker. Home Dem onstration agent for Umatilla county, finds that one of the principal causes for discontent of women on the farm is the amount of time spent and dis tance traveled in carrying water for domestic purposes. By way of illus tration, Miss Parker contributes the following paragraph, which has to do with the wife of a Virginia farmer . "By actual figures, one woman in Halifax county walked 112 miles in one year carrying water. Since she has been keeping house she has trav tied 1808 miles in carrying water. your wife's time valuable? Figure her time at 25 cents per hour, she has spent If aaH in carrying water. This is just one specific instance and this well was only 46 yards from th house. How far is your spring? Is your wife as attractive as a woman at her age should be? If not I expect you can guess why." For the most pact the' farm houses of Umatilla county are supplied with these conveniences, but there lire many others fully able, where a few dollars judiciously expended would bring water into the kitchen and bath room, AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER F.

'4 Rnck of having a home garden, suc cess ami Mick, Is the same pulnelple hard work, with, a little perspiration occasionally, A strike lias been called In Home. It seems the new rending of the old prov erb Is that Home must do what the others are doing. War is not without its benefits. For example, some ecus are now sold by weight and some shoes are sold ac cording to their size. With the postoffice in new quarters and the Press in old-new quarters, Watts & Rogers will have thinga about their own way here on the "Corner." This is an instance where one move totaled three moves. It's now up to "Dick" to make the fourth move. Your move Dick whaddaye do? Freshly peeled teepee poles and care fully groomed race horses out on the reservation are harbingers of the red man's Fourth of July celebration. This yehr Pendleton is a competitive cele bration point which Cayuse will bow to on July 4th and 5th. After that the Indian will have before him a hiyu celebration of tvo weeks duration. Plenty good weather the past week for mountain spud crops and spring sown grain in the foot hills. A little more of the same kind would not rome amisH, in the totaling of the seasonH yield. The penuy that looks the biggest just now is the ono that Uncle Sam knocked off the postage stamp Tues day morning. A two cunt stamp will now carry a letter where formerly it took a three-center to carry it. One good reason for not making The Hague the peace capital of the world Is that the old peace plant there never proved a success. To prevent Uncle Sinn from becom ing the world's most prodigal spend thrift he should he put under the re straint of a national budget. Ocean flights by airplane are more easily prevented by atmospheric mois ture than baseball games when the home team Is sure of a drubbing. The man who Is earning a comfort able living for his family and who Is receiving fair treatment from his em ployer is good Insurance against bol ihevism. - Travel abroad being extremely d I IB oil t, Americans will have to be satis fied this year with views of some of (he grand old ruins of American politics. The assessors seem to think most auto owners give their cars in at a value In keeping with their thoughts when n tire Is blown ten miles from a service station. ir An Austrian scientist Is reported as having found the germ of hunger, and If somebody only will find and rout the germ of sleep we should be able to save lots of time and money, This bllllon-dollnr era holds very little encouragement for the opinion once expressed by some very distin guished gentlemen that $1(K).(K1() repre sents a large and sullielent fortune. After a war to make the world safe for democracy. It Is startling to he re minded that there are i;i monarchies, left as against only 21) republics, some of jwhlch are republics In name only.

To the disappearance of the pas senger pigeon must now be added the passing of the swallow. German naval OfBcert maintain that their fleet was never defeated.

Twenty-five years ago eggs sold for 11 cents a down, No wonder there is regret for tho good old times. Japan might bear In mind that most sensitive people do not care to go There they have not been iuvlted. Saying that the Yankees held 83.4 miles of the front doesn't begin to tell what they did to It besides holding It. A fashion note says styles are Indi vidualdepending on whether last year's or this year's suit Is being worn. In these times the nnclent and hon orable snort of picking eggs Is one that frugal parents are apt to frown upon.
