This is considerably below the stand ard and shows the effect of pinching. An unusually good crop for the sea son is reported from the "McKinnon quarter" northwest of town, owned and farmed by J. H.

Frank Snider and family were at Dayton, Wash., Sunday attending the funeral of the late John DeMond, father of Mrs. Snider, whose death i occurred early Saturday morning of apoplexy. Mr. DeMond was 67 years of age and a highly respected pio neer resident of the Dayton neigh borhood. He is survived by his wid ow, four daughters and eight grand children. The funeral was conducted by the Odd P'ellows. Reports from Weston mountain say that a good potato crop is in pros pect, even though needed rain has failed to put in an appearance. The spuds in most instances show a good stand, and timely moisture would have insured an abundant yield. The grain crop on the mountain is below normal. Spring-sown grain espec ially has suffered from the lack of rain. Some observers say that even fall-sown will not yield much better than sixty percent of the usual aver age. Professor H. R. Hyslop is ex pected on the mountain the latter part of this week to make the first fielfl inspection of seed potatoes. The nearly new five-room bungalow on the farm of Elmer Tucker burned to the ground Friday noon with all its contents during the absence of Mr. Tucker and family, who had gone over in the morning to the R.

A new freedom In physical move ment is discernible If not obvious in feminine Japan. It can be noted on the street In the little girls' play. Al ways they have had the most varied line of games and were fairly active, but nothing so unladylike as jumping over a stick, a sort of pole vaulj; with out the pole. Now this is not unusual In the larger towns, and surprisingly high do these wooden clogged, kl monoed, plg-talled youngsters. Jump, and with much abondon. In the girls' schools there is much more activity than even three years ago of the kind that past generations of American mothers called tomboy tshness, and Increasing interest in ten nis and basketball. Also It Is not un becoming now for maiden or matron to hold up her head In line with her spine, and frankly look on at this world und all Its Incumbrances. For merly It was almost the great unpar donable not to carry the head slightly forward, with eyes downcast. This attitude of humiliation Is now becom ing fearfully old-fashioned. Foreign teachers of long experience say that the change in this respect Is striking In the classroom. Students when reciting now look up squarely at the Instructor Instead of at their knees as formerly. As this is not a taught thing, but the reflex of a change with in, vital enough to overcome teaching and Inherited tendency, it Is signifi cant. Another change, trifling, but a straw that shows the direction nnd ve locity of the current, is the growing habit of man nnd wife to walk side by side on the street Instead of my lady plgeon-toelng along about a pace In the rear of her lord. Scrlbner's Magazine. MAN OF FAITH AND LEARNING Orlgen Considered One of the Great est of the Early Church Fathers Upheld Christian Faith. Orlgen, surnamed Adnmantius, who lived from 185 to 254 A. D., Is con sidered by some authorities as the greatest of the early church fathers. Alexandria, in Egypt, the great seat of learning of the time, Is thought to have been his birthplace. He was a teacher and deep student of phi losophy and of the Scriptures, and he became a great defender of the Christian faith. His literary produc tions were numerous and several have come down to the modern world, among them being a treatise on theol ogy, a few sermons or discourses of that nature, parts of commentaries on the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. John and St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. His greatest work Is his defense of Christianity against the at tacks In the writings of Celsus, an Epicurean philosopher of the Second century. Celsus' work is not extant, but the character of it Is made clear In Origen's refutation, which contains many quotations, and Origen's line of argument indicates clearly the line of attack followed by Celsus. The at tacks upon Christianity by many crit ics are simply repetitions of Celsus' objections, which Orlgen answered about seventeen hundred years ago. CLASSIFIED For Sale The D.

SLOAN WEED ERS OR SLICKERS FOR SALE. YOUR PATRONAGE SOLICITED FOR GUARANTEED WORK. Where Business Mevss Slowly. Business methods are Invariably slow In the Near East, according to Miss Grace Willis who has returned recently from a period of service with the Y. W. C. A. In Constantinople, Staniboul and Beirut. "It takes at least a half a day to deposit a check nnd even longer to draw one out," says Miss Willis. "The general con dition thnt exists in business houses Is undoubtedly due to the fact that so many nationalities, each with their own way of doing things, are gathered under one roof. The girls of the Near East are particularly keen for busi ness courses and there is a tremen dous demand In the many commercial houses for well-trained clerical work ers and stenographers. I consider thnt when, from the business courses given by the Y. W. C. A., efficient business women have been turned out after nine months' training, a remarkable piece of work has been accomplished." Veteran. After working 56 years In steel mills, Edward Quilty retired on pen sion. He was the oldest employee of the American Steel and Wire company. He started to work before the Besse mer converter and open-hearth process were invented. Looking backward over his life, Quilty is aninzed most at the way trav eling cranes and other machinery have relieved humun muscles. He says: "The men have more brains than they used to." Average Intelligence will steadily in crease, as machinery gradually frees man from drudgery. Energy, now consumed by muscular effort) will flow Into the brain, gener ating thought, developing a race of philosophers. She Just Analysed Him. A colored woman hurried into the adult probation offices of the Juvenile court at Chicago. "I tell you, I'm mad," she said to the adult probation officer. "It's my liusbr.nd," she continued. "That man Is drivin' me crazy." "What is he doing now?" she was asked. "What he doesn't do Is easier to answer. We Jus' can't seem to get along," she pouted. ' "But he says you don't love him. ' "Love hiin?" the woman replied, sur prised. "Love him? Why, I Jus' ana lyze that man" Future of Brazil. Brazil, which Is almost wholly In the tropics, has the opportunity to up set the belief that no people can reach the very highest civilization In a tropi cal climate. The census, Just com pleted, credits Brazil with 30,500,000 people, which makes It the second American country In point of popula tion. Some modern men of science maintain thnt when means have been found to utilize the heat of the sun ns mechunlcal energy the tropics will become centers of production nnd therefore of civilization. If thnt should be true, what couutry could match Brazil, with Its great resources of min erals, timber and land, nnd Its great navigable rivers?
