The Basra of today is a moan liltle town In a clearing of palm trees two miles from the river, and at its port, instead of the ladened dhows are rusty tramp steamers with tawdry wares of the West. Farther up the valley, at Kurua, where the Euphrates and Tigris join, is the tra ditional site of the Garden of Eden; beyond are the ruins of Babylon and on the bank of the Tigris is the ro mantic city of Bagdad where Haran-nl-Rashid, the great caliph, attracted the v.-,"ts and the wealth of Islam and ruled in lavish splendor. Down the Arabian coast are great ruins, still almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, a close student of this region, believe, that some day It will be demonstrated that here was the scene of momentous events that determined the course of the human race while the shores of the Mediterranean were yet In impene trable darkness and that here the first dim glimmerings of civilization dawned upon the mind of primitive man. JUST WHAT IS SIMPLE LIFE? Interesting Question Often Asked Is Here Answered by One Who Claims to Know. Most of us are inclined to hold to the opinion that a man leadinsr a sim ple life is a creature who necessarily lias to walk barefooted or without tin full outfit of modern clothes, and that it Is only country folk who can, lead ' that sort of life, by virtue of their con tact with nature. Nothing could be further from the truth. A millionaire occupying a mnnsion on Fifth avium can lead the simple life, If in iiis dis charge of daily duties he looks upcr his fellow man as his brother, and door not enlarge In his own eyes his impor tance, due to his palatial residence or his expensive clothes. On the o(hr hand, the farmer or the mar. who walks around barefooted from i;:-e-- sity, or who wears th simpl ,'s; kind of clothes because he cannot afford others, and goes nhnut with envy in his heart toward ev ry beiir.' who pos sesses more than h- does, ls far from living the simple 1!,V In thought or dress or In any other manner. To lend a simple life one has but to realize that if is the spirit In which things are done, and the spirit in which life is lived. That Is the essen tial thing. This is applicable to dress, to work, to education, thoughts and pleasures and, I might say last that which I should have snid first, to ma terial dealings between a man and his fellow beings. Slisha Appelbaum in the Humanitarian. ideas in the way of dress fads, social stunts, ragtime melodies, jazx bands, new dances and late coiffures. She is, in two words, my daughter, a lovely child of the period just arrived ut the 'know it all" age, and represents the average daughter of this day, a replica .of the daughters of other mothers. "As for me, I am her mother, neces sary to her as a housekeeper and liursekeeper, also an admiring audi ence of one for this very Independent young person. A few years ago I add ed to these titles those of mentor, guide, teacher and comforter, but, to be a bit slangy, within the past year I have lost my Job and have fallen from my high estate as leader and manager to the second in command. In fact, the tables have swung com pletely around and where, only n short time ago, I mothered my baby girl, it is I who am now being daughtered. who am being trained to look upon life, not as a sedate' mother person twice and a little more the years of my daughter, but with the eyes of youth ful seventeen, who am being skillfully and tactfully Imbued, by my very own child, with the latest Ideas ia regard to living. I am being lovingly re quired, nay, sweetly compelled, to change by ideas and opinions so that they may conform to hers." The Reason Why. This difference in the complexion of people is due to the varying amount of pigment or coloring material in the cells of which the skins of all animus are made. Very light people have verv little pigment ; very dark people, those with dark eyes and black hair, have a great deal of this coloring material in their ce!ls. A great many people are neither light nor very dark. They have less tlian the dark complexioned people and more than the light comp'exioned jr. r,,,-. llwn lne nalr rums gray u is oecause the pigment has disap peared. As this Is due to the loss of this coloring material, dark complex ioned people turn gray sooner thnn light complexioned people. The struc ture of the skin showing how these cells are made in layers can be seen by examining the skin with a microscope. Pigs and People. So like is the pig's eye to the human eye that fledgling oculists, learning their trade, practice all sorts of opera tions upon eyes of freshly killed swine, which are easily obtained from the market. Even the skilled end highly trained ophthalmologist, when he wants to try out an idea for instance, a new kind of operation for cataract (which means the removal of the crystalline lens) will get a pig's eye and see how it works. If it succeeds, he tries It on a patient. All the wonderful muscle-cutting op erations by which squint and other ir regularities are so successfully reme died, were worked out originally by ex periments with pigs' eyes. That Loose Shoe String. Little things often lead to serlons consequences. So it ls not surprising to learn that recently an employee of a large manufacturing establishment was coming down the stairway from the third floor of the warehouse, when the lacing in one of his shoes became untied. He continued to go down the fctnirs, and when about five steps from the landing he stepped on the flowing shoe lace, which threw him, and he fell, striking his head and shoulders on the bottom step with such force that he died the next morning. Which teaches us that one cannot afford to ROMANCE IN RUSKIN'S LIFE Divergent rliligious VIewo for Long Time Separated Him From the Woman Ho Loved. In r.uskin declared his love for Hor.il? I.a Touc'.ie and told her parents o: h:s hope to make her his wife, says .!. Howard Whltehouse in Scrlbner's. T.ere w.s a great difference of years in'twivn them. Kuskln was forty-seven; Koie was in her eighteenth year. i'h.Mv was some natural hesitation on the part of the parents, and it was ar ranged that the matter should.be post poned for three years. But when the period of probation "fs ended new difficulties arose. There was hesitation not only on the imrt of the parents, but also by Rosie. Miss La Touehe was of a deeply re ligious nature, but her views were or thodox and she did not share the wider views on spiritual questions in which Raskin Increasingly believed. Her love for him had never wav ered since the days of her childhood; but she doubted If, holding the views she did, she could marry him. Both she and Ruskln suffered the deepest distress. For a little time there was es trangement, and there Is.a moving en try in Ruskln's diary In the Year 1870: "Last Friday about twelve o'clock at noon my mistress passed me and would not speak." In the following year there was reconelllntlen. The end of Ruskin's dream came In 1875. Miss La Touche's health never strong, began to fall, and she died In May of that year. Various Kinds of Food. A bulletin Issued by the New York Museum of Natural History stated that one tribe of North American In dians regarded a mixture of pulver ized ants, grasshoppers, and locusts, dried In the sun, as a relish. Another tribe preferred grasshoppers and crickets with roasted ants as a va riant. Moths, the bulletin added, are a favorite dish In Africa, and lumber men In Maine are said to enjoy an oc casional meal of large black wood ants. The beetle !s eaten in Turkey, the Nile valley, Lombardy, Moldavia, Java, Peru, and Valachla, and ls sulci to be very nutritious and fattening. In Central Ameflca the eggs of three aquatic bugs are served as "cakes." In Nyasalnnd a paste of mayflies and mosquitoes Is considered a delicacy. The Mexicans manufacture a drink as strong as their pulque by Infusing a tiger beetle in alcohol. Concerning Fasting. It is impossible to stop eating and not feel the pungs of hunger, according to the Popular Science Monthly. If you have been led to believe differently by the stories of men who have under gone fasting tests, listen to the words of a professor of the University of Chicago. He found as a result of ob servation on man during prolonged In tentional starvation that the view that hunger mechanism fuilM early does not hold as a general rule. The profes sional faster, he points out, may ignore the pangs of hunger in a spirit of bra vado. Indian fakers who have been prac ticing the trick of fasting until the nor mal cravings of the body have submit ted to will power are said to be able to go without food for Incredible pe riods of time. But probably the real truth of the matter is known only to them. The Quarrel. Mrs. Willis What did Mr. and Mrs. Bump quarrel About? Mrs. Glllls Religion. Mrs. Willis You don't say!

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIER BOYS Emery Hiatt Gets Gas and Rest for Short Time From Field Artillery WorkCorporal Frank Doble is in Poetical Frame of Mind Walter Matteson Appreciates Home Paper. Emery Hiatt Haa Slight attack of Gas Emery Hiatt, Heppner boy now at the front in France and with Battery A, Field Artillery, has been seeing Quite a lot of active service lately. He recently got some German gas and was laid up in the hospital for a short time for repairs. In a letter dated August 22, he writes his brother John, of this place, concern ing some of his experiences. He says in part: At last we have a little rest, don't know how long, but at any rate I went down to the creek, took a bath and washed all my clothes and feel ood, except being worn out with audi steady work at the front, with out rest and shooting nearly all the time and getting very little sleep. We have already seen results of our work along the road as we advanced to the front line. Our orders got tangled as we landed in the front line with our Battery and it is a miracle we got out without a casualty, but later on had several. I don't like to brag but Battery A surely has had a horseshoe so far. I hope it may continue. I have been gassed once and knocked down four times by the concussion from the shells hitting so close to me, but at that I am feeling fine and will feel dandy when I got rested up a bit. It sure has been hot here for several days and it will seem fine to get back where we can lay in the shade. I tell you another bath in the Marne river would have been fine today. I crossed the Marne on the ruins of the bridge at Chateau Thierrie which was blown up to keep the Germans from crossing tho river. Gee, you talk about war sights I have seen. I hope I may never see anything like them again but a person has to expect such things I guess and become hardened to them. They got the best of me at first. wealth, That Right the world may know.

Farmers in that vicinity re port conditions for fall sowing as excellent better in fact than they have been for years, all of which promises well for next season's crop yield. The road crew done some mending of the pavement at the turn of Main street near the hospital corner this week. The constant moving of autos and other vehicles around this corner had worn out the road bed pretty badly, hence the need of repairs at this time.

And, It was not so long aso that the usual method of making inquiry as to man's money was: "How did you get it?" Today, tomorrow and for all time, the question will be: "How are you going to spend it?" Farmers, at least the progressive kind, will not be asked: "How are you going to spend it?", for the years spent in earning it were ac companied by years of planning as to how to spend it. Mature plan ning of ones work invariably results in getting value for the money spent. The first and most natural call for money on the part of the farmer is to improve the farm, for every dollar spent can be looked upon as an investment: it Is the farmer's way of expressing his con fidence In the soil that he has tilled. Real estate men devoting their energies to selling farm property will tell you that a well improved piece of farm property calls for less salesmanship than dues the piece of property that has been neglected, for neglect In this Instance has a tendency to create a suspicion that the property is not a money producer. Money that you have saved can be put to no better use than to make not only needed, but necessary repairs. Farm machinery should be housed properly; steps should be taken to protect live stock against severe Winters; sidewalks of wood or concrete should be built from barn, dairy shed and other buildings to the home with an idea of keeping the mud out of the home. No more worthy improvement can be made at this time than to build a modern, up-to-date, convenient, step-and-labor-savlng home. To delay building is to deny yourself and family the comforts and pleasures you are entitled to. Labor should bring its fruits, and the farmer will realize them perhaps more quickly by building than will be the case with the average man. Too many farmers pui. off building through tiiior falluro to realize that, each year spent In the old home robs them of a year in the new home. In this respect, it has been hard for us to understand why farmers content themselves by living In the old home.year after year, waiting until they are ready to retire, then move to the city Lexington, Ore or small town and build their final mansion, the enjoyment of which scarcely ls in keeping with the many years of toil and sacrifice. It is not our intention to discourage. home building by retired farm ers in the town, for we must have towns since they are the salvation of every farming community. What we believe In ls this: that more farmers should stay on the farm, and with this In mind, their homes should be made more comfortable, more liveable. With an idea of helping our customers secure value received for the money they spend in home building, we are now prepared to render prospective home builders a helpeful service; one that will eliminate the old idea that you have to build three homes before you get what you want. It has come to pass that there is more truth than poetry in this statement, but sad as it may seem, it ls due to the fact that the average farmer goes about building without proper forethought, which has resulted In a modern saying that hits the nail squarely on the head, "Houses are built, then planned; homes are planned, then built." It is not the idea of our Service Department to completely plan your home, for we realize that we can serve you better by incorporating your ideas in a set of plans that will be practical in every sense of the word. To work your ideas into the home will result in your having a home that is yours, because it is like you and because it feels like home, You have home-making ideas and personality.' Still, It may be difficult for you to express your ideas of a home to your contractor or builder, so what we desire to do more than anything else is to help tell you why this or that should not be done, The important step ls to make a record of these ideas; to draw them up in a set of plans so that there will be no misunderstanding be tween your carpenters or contractor, which method is the only one that can be relied upon or depended upon In giving you exactly what you have in mind. No charge is made for this service. The satisfaction resulting pleases you, and, as you know, we have always counted upon our satisfied customers to help Increase our business. Do not wait until you are ready to dig your foundation, but come in and talk over the building of your home in advance of the time you ' are ready to place your order for materials.
