Though perhaps most of us, young and old, associate iviiuleer chiefly with Bantu's jingling bulls, still there are, besides the dear, familiar phantom reindeer, the $ery real reindeer who are serving a very real and much- needed mission among the people of the fnr North, among whom Dr. Wil fred T. drenfell works and Uvea his life of brotherly nld and uplift, Mary M, Davis writes in Our Dumb Animals. About six years ago Doctor. Grenf ell Imported from Labrador a herd of rein deer, number about 400, which during their six years In Newfoundland have increased to somewhere between 700 and 1,000. The idea of bringing them from their native Lapland was sug gested to Doctor Greufell by the great abundance of reindeer moss in New foundland. The reasons for the ex periment are many and far reaching. The reindeer are valuable, not only for their rich and delicious milk which would be a boon indeed to the dwellers of that northern pnrt of New foundland In which Doctor Greufell works but also are Invaluable as beasts of burden. In every way they are as well adapted to the require ments of the North as are the Komatlk dogs, which in many ways are an ab solute menace to the development of the country. Gentlemen, 85c. .'. We Pay The War Tax. .'. Ladies Free Death to the Pup p tee. The details of the snatching from this life of four brlndle Boston bulls In the prime of their puppyhood were recited when a woman reviewed her married life in the court of domestic relations in New York. "Only last week," she said, "our bulldog, Ida, had a family that would have been worth $200 If It had grown. My husband went to a veterinarian and the doctor told him If they wouldn't take milk out of a saucer to put some milk in hts own mouth, but a nipple in his mouth and feed them that way. Just like dog fenders do. At first he didn't even want to do it." "Well," said the court, "and what has that to do with the case?" "Because when he did do It, I tell you, the dogs died." Africa Second Largest Africa Is the second largeBt of thfl continental divisions of the earth, con taining 11,632,000 square miles. Eu rope contains 3,671,004; Asia, 17,470, 280; North America, 7,116,000; South America, 7,344,000. At the outbreak of the present war, August, 1914, Eu ropean states had established protec torates over It. By agreement, Great Britain controlled about 3,700,000 square miles; France, 4,422,000; Ger many, 081,000; Belgium, 909,000; Por tugal, 704,000; Spain, 592,000, with na tive ownership ignored everywhere. These areas of control have undergone material changes since the war began and no doubt will be further changed at Its conclusion. The different areas have been held and governed as col onies, the only politics being a contest among the nations to obtain and hold as much as possible. It has been what might be called in common phrase "a grab game" on a large scale, with a continent as the spoils.

Reasoner was a Beaverton visitor yesterday af ter having been over the high way on an inspection trip. Judge Reasoner has made an excellent County Judge and has given to all sections of the county a fair and impartial treatment that speaks volumes for his impartial and judicial mind, a quality only too rarely met in public officials. Should he decide to be a candi date for re-election, he is apt to have very little opposition, for anyone who ran against him would be wasting time to talk to the voters who have followed Judge Reasoner's course in his office. .
