o L A R G E S T C IR C U L A T IO N V O L U M E 8, NO. 28 BEÄY ERTÖN, OREGON. Howe About: R ^ k a h s Install By ED H O W E ¥ AM an Inveterate smoker, but get * no pleasure out of the habit. I have never owned a satisfactory pipe, used a tobacco that did not bite my tongue, or been uble to find a satis factory cigar. Sometimes, in smok ing an old pipe now, I become as sick as I did when a boy learning the filthy habit . . . Lately I tried quitting, and the nuisance of quitting was no greater than the nuisance of smoking; In fact, a little less. . . . I shall try the plan on some other of my bad habits, since I have long preached that practice of good habits is easier than practice of had ones. • • • In Justice to myself I find I cannot read all the Interesting things In the newspapers. The editors and report ers have become as entertaining as the moving pictures, the radio, but I have my living to earn, so I must cut down on my rending, as I have been compelled to cut down on smoking, liquor, society, and other of the more agreeable things. A woman In my town was born in Keokuk, Iowa, and lived there until she came a bride to Atchison, Kan sas (my country town), where she has lived to old age. Keokuk is her out side world; it bounds all her reminis cences. And she tells some Interest ing stories about Keokuk. Lucy Worthington, who married Henry Clews, the noted hanker, lived there as a girl, and now has a palace in Newport, the most exclusive colony In this country (according to a certain mngazlue which sells for a dollar a copy), llupert Hughes lived there as a boy; In fact, the Atchison woman gave him music lessons. I once at tended a banquet in New York city, and made a speech for nothing. (I heard later that Irvin Cobb, who pre sided, is so witty and famous as a toast master that he received a hun dred and fifty dollars.) Mr. Cobb considered Rupert Hughes so notable a man he Invited him to speak. Mr. Hughes hud lately written a candid life of George Washington, and in his Introduction the toast master said: “We have with us this evening a gen tleman who. If he hns not proved that George Washington was the father of his country, has at least proved that he tried to be. Mr. Rupert Hughes, of Keokuk, Iowa.” The more creditable history of the United States Is the history of Its country towns and the farms surrounding them; cities are largely commercial necessities coun try town people visit with regret, and, while there, learn bad habits from their Inhabitants. A large number of experts in edu cation lately met In convention and made over the English grammar. The _______________________________________ decision of a considerable majority was that to make your meaning clear Is the secret of good punctuation, good usage, good speech and good writing. According to these learned men it Is >11 right to say “all right,” and the speaker who dares to say “pretty good” Is pretty good. The old quarrel between “farther” and '‘further" ends In a draw; neither word Is further awny from correctness than the other. "Nice” Is welcomed to nice linguistic society. So is “folks.” So Is “Loan me a pencil." It Is proper now “to make a date" and “to taxi” to the spot. We are told that a preposition Is a perfectly proper word to end a sentence with. We are advised that we may split the Infinitive all we like If our object In doing so Is to more clearly express our meaning. And we may open our sentences with •rniinnnHnni The The writer writer who who has hns conjunctions. spent a lifetime In learning to be nice and refined In his technique will won der. the painstaking are told, that the old and difficult distinctions betweeD “shall” and “will” are no longer Ira- portant. The copyreader who for years has patiently chnnged "provld- ing” to “provided” In sentences like “I will go, providing he stays," will find to his sorrow (hat he has wnsted his time. An old-fashioned rhetorician coming home to the English depart ment from his sabbatical year will find strange company all over the place. If there Is any virtue that works out well In practice, it Is the thrift and stinginess of the Scotch. Ameri cans are so liberal they use Jokes on the Scotch In their propaganda to help everybody. Harry Lauder once asked a friend: “When can you go to break fast with me?” The friend replK ; quickly and greedily: “Any time." "All right," Mr. Lauder said, “tomor row morning, at your house.” You will recall that the greut break fast to the Belgians, French, English. Germans, citizens of the Congo, etc., was at our house, and that the foreign greats are atill here “Flying Governor” Gets License Beaverton Rebekah Lodge No. 248 held installation of officers at the regular meeting held Tuesday evening at the I.

These new rules differ from the old in that all line extensions in volving delivery charges and or guar anteed monthly revenue will be placed upon the “free" or tariff mini mum basts after having been in ser vice five years. These rules not only affect all future line extensions of the Company's service, but also those line extensions which are now in existence All customers who have contracted for service involving guaranteed mini mum monthly revenue and or delivery charge on extensions that have been in existence five years on August 1, 1934, will thereafter receive service upon tariff minimum basis and the delivery charge will be eliminated. Tn those cases where extensions have been in existence less than five years on August 1, 1934, the customers thereon will continue to be billed upon the original contract until the five year term will have been com pleted, at which time service will be rendered upon regular published tariff minimum charges, the delivery charg es being cancelled. In the case of customers having equities in line extension, upon their signing waivers, the amounts of their equities will be credited to their light ing accounts, against which current bills for service will be allowed until this» credit is used up. Time to Apply 3rd Cover Spray Apple and pear growers in the W il lamette Valley should apply a third ' cover spray now for the control of ; codling moth. The second brood moths are now flying, and last even- I ing eggs were deposited. Under ord inary Willamette VaMey weather con- , ditions, these eggu will hatch in 7 or j 8 days. The spray should be apj lied I before these eggs hatch, says B. G. Thompson, assistant entomologist at the Experiment station, in a notice to the county agent office. The recommended spray is powder- j ed load arsenute used at the rate of 3 pounds to 100 gallon# of water. In or chards where codling moth is not a serious problem, two pounds of powd ered lead arsenate to 100 gallons of water is sufficient to give control. Calcium arsenate has been used suc cessfully In the Willamette Valley for codling moth control. Tee's caivied on by the Entomology Department of the Oregon Experiment Station over a period of five years Indicate fliat under Willamette VulJey conditions calcium arsenate is only slightly less effective than lead arsenate In cod ling moth control. Thoroughness of application is es sential in codling moth contra’. The foliage as well as the entire surface of every apple and pear should be thoroughly covered with the spray so lution if worm injury is to he pie vented. Special care should be taV: in spraying the upper por.ion f h jtree, as more than half of the codlii. moth eggs are laid in the upper third of the tree.
