Adv. How to Be Happy Though Chtoagoans A Chicago couple celebrated their fifty-ninth wedding anniversary some time ago. Believing their long years of wedlock have qualified them as ex perts on the subject, they have drawn up the following recipe for marital happiness and the Chicago "Tribune" prints it: 1. Love each other all the time. 2. Keep silent when she wants to ar gue. 3. Keep silent when he wants to argue. 4. Use good common sense in times of depression. S. Don't blame your husband when he's doing bis best. 6. Don't scold. 7. Have a few children playing around the house. This married couple have lived up to the seventh of their commandments and now that their own youngsters nave grown up they have seven grand children and four great-grandchildren. And we notice this detail of the re cipe: these rules are applied to both parties, not just to one of them. We haven't yet arrived at that stage of civilization wherein we honestly apply the Golden Rule in all life's everyday relations, but applying some part of that Rule at home means having a nome. uoiuers.

Spokane Packen In the northwest have virtually cornered the pork mar ket and are holding down prices, with the result thst farmers who produce hogs are going to be forced to pass up northwestern markets and sell in the east, according to I. H. Jorgens, presi dent of the Union State bank of Nez Perce, and a hog raiser. Mr. Jorgens says hog raising la becoming an im portant industry in the Nes Pares country. "Our section ships three to five can of hogs every Tuesday from Net Perce, and they go mostly to Seattle and Spo kane," said Mr. Jorgens. "Packers now are paying only five cents pound, which we regard aa much too low, the present high prices of grain considered. We must have $6.76 to 86 'a hundred to make the business profitable. "The packen seem to think they hsve a corner on the market, and are taking advantage i f it. Our hog raisen will be forced to sell in the east if northwestern prices do not im prove, or they must go out of business. We have shipped bogs east from Nez Perce before end have realised more than in northwestern markets and we may be forced to do so again." Flour Goes Soaring. All local grades of flour is advanced 20 cents a barrel. This put the whole sale price of patents at f 6. There is a similar advance in the Puget Sound market The rise occasioned by the strength and higher price of wheat. A year ago the patent flour market stood at 6. Influenced by the war flights of the wheat market, flour prices climbed npidly until February , 1916, when they touched $7.20, the record quotation for the Portland mar ket The extreme price was not held long end the market began to fall steadily until September 21, when it reached $4.80, which price has been maintained up to this time.

NEWS ITEMS Oi General Interest About Oregon Stock Show Rated as One of Best Seen in Northwest Portland Judges, visitors and ex hibitors unit In assertion that the stock that Is how on exhibition at the yards at Kenton is the best that has ever been gathered in the Northwest. There are prise pens and individual an imals that must compel attention; prise herds, and cattle, sheep and swine by the carload lots. One of the individual animals that has created unusual attention is a registered Ditroe jersey barrow, named Woodrow Wilson. It is but 15t months of age and already has attained a weight of ,700 pounds. The students' Judging contest was concluded with the result that Wash ington State college won with a score of 2122 points. Oregon Agricultural college waa second, Idaho third and California fourth. The judging was made and the men given 80 points for perfect judgment and 20 for a perfect reason. Judging at the Fifth Annual Pacific International Livestock exhibition was concluded in Holsteins, Jerseys, Ayr- shires and Guernseys, in the cattle ex hibits. Cotswolds and Lincolns were the only two classes of sheep that were judged in which there was competition and two breeds ox swine, tierksbires and Poland Chinas, received their awards. A few classes of the Short horns remain to be judged. The biggest thing on the program was the auction of the fat stock. The chief attraction in the collection of fat cattle and the animal that will first fall under the auctioneer's hammer it. the grand champion Shorthorn steer from the University of Idaho. This animal has never lost in any of the classes in which he has been entered and has invaded classes in which ap peared steers of greater age and has competed with many prise steers dur ing his short life. His weight 1b now 16S6 pounds. Bis mother is a thoroughbred Shorthorn, Hay Daisy, and she was sired by the grandson of Gold Crown, reared by J. H. McCrosskey, Fishtrap, Wash., one of the best known breeders in the Northwest. F. W. Harding, secretary of the American Shorthorn Breeders bbsocib- tion and a man who has judged that breed of cattle for yean, declared the champion to be the best specimen he had ever seen. Land Grants May Be In Courts for Many Years Further litigation that may keep both the Coos Bay and Oregon & Cali fornia grant lands in the courts for years is threatened as a result of the decree banded down in the United States court at Portland by Judge Wolverton in the case of the govern ment against the Southern Oregon company. The court held, in this decree, that the grantees of the land are entitled to a value of U.&u an acre and no more. Attorney for the defendants gave notice of appeal. A similar de cree, with substantially the Bame pro visions, has been prepared by Const an- tine J. Smyth, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, in the Oregon & California case, which decree will be submitted to Judge Wolverton. Attorneys for the Southern Pacific company, who contend that they, aB present holders of the Oregon & Cali fornia lands, own the timber, coal, minerals and other natural resources, as well as their value of $2.50 an acre, will contest this view of the case. If the court accepts the contentions of the United States attorney, as it did in the Southern Oregon case, it is probable that the Southern Pacific at torneys will prepare an appeal. Both these appeals must go to the United States Circuit court of Ap peals, from which it will be possible to appeal to the United States Su preme court. Thus it is possible that the lands witl be held in litigation for a long period. The decree signed by Judge Wolver ton enjoins the Southern Oregon com pany from selling any of the timber on the Coos Bay wagon road lands, "or any minerals or other deposits thereon, except as part of or in conjunction with the land on which the timber stands or in which the mineral or other deposits are found, and from cutting or removal of any of the timber there on, or from removing or authorizing the removal of mineral or other depos its therein, excepting in conjunction with the sale of the land bearing the timber or containing the mineral." The defendants are further enjoined from the sale of the land and its re sources until congress shall have had "reasonable opportunity to make provision for its disposition by legisla tion.

Ranfe. The fight In the North Sea began twelve miles away. When the Biite ober was struck, she was ten miles from her English enemy. When von Spee and Craddock fought off Chile, they opened fire at a distance of lz, 000 yards; and Craddock had old fashioned obsolete ships. If old-fashioned obsolete ships open fire at 12,000 yardB, what the superdreadnoughts can do, maybe guessed. What they can do, experts say frankly, Is throw a 2000 pound projectile twentyfive miles with such accurate range-finders that the deflection will be only twenty yards for six miles. In fact, the Im provement and change in naval equip ment has been so swift and revolu tionary that the life of a battleship has been rated first rank for only five years. In speed, in else, in armor proof, and big gun fire, the changes have come bo fast since 1905 that the nations had either to fight It out or cripple themselves financially building bigger and bigger monsters of the sea; and oddly enough, the changes all date from a little "cheese box on a floating saucepan," the Monitor of Civil War fame. From the time the Monitor and the Merrtmac Bnat out their fire-cracker shots at each other, it has been a race among the nations for speed, ar mor proof, big guns, and long range. Those beat informed declare that the big gun and speed have rendered sec ondary both armor proof and subma rine; but these are disputes that will be finally settled in the present war. Neither side has had any monopoly of courage. The courage of both Bides has been magnificent, almost terri ble, hut speed and the big gun have won. Prom "What Sea Power Means to England," by A. C.
