PLANTED BERRIES IN EARS ' For several years Dean Clark, a high school student of Helix, has been having 1 trouble with his ears, says the East Oregonian. During Round Up week he was aware that the ir ritation was doubly' noticeable. Sat urday he and his mother came to a Pendleton specialist for an examina tion. They were astonished when the doctor, after some careful work, ex tricated an allspice berry from the ear. The berry had lodged against the ear drum and was thoroughly covered with ear wax. The other ear bother ed too, so the examination was ex tended with the result that ear No. 2 yielded berry No. 2. After the berries had been taken from his ears, young Clark recalled that he as a small child had put a berry in each ear, but he had forgotten the action olng ago and thought the berries had drop ped out. He is hearing much better now, and the pain is practically all gone. Jay birds, brilliant of plumage and garrulous in disposition, are making frequent journeys to town of late, lured by toothsome morsels to be secured in friendly corn fields found at intervals throughout the vicinity.

Mala St Phone 653 WALLA WALLA, WASH. Henry J. Taylor THE name of Henry J. Taylor, pioneer farmer of Umatilla County, will be on the Democratic Ticket as a farmer candidate for Joint Senator. Mr. Taylor is a consistent advocate of . Tax Redaction : v and favors the strictest economy in the expenditure of the people's money and liberal support of the Public Schools. He is opposed to the Scbcol rJocopcly Bill for the reason that its adoption will mean the outlay and expen diture of about $3,000,000 for ad ditional school buildings and equipment and an annual expense for interest and maintenance of about 12,000,000 more in addition to the already intolerable load of taxes now upon us, and for the reason that it would destroy parental authority and deprive the citizens of the constitutional guarantee i of religious freedom and of the right to give their children a religious education in addition to the education afforded by the public schools. A vote for Henry J. Taylor is a vote in the interest of every fireside in the Senatorial District and in the State of Oregon. V A. H.COX Chairman Committee.
