Hyperopia
People who tee well in the dis
tance but poorly near by
are commonly termed
"Far Sighted"
But they are not actually so, for
they really see no further than
others. Their eye-defect rend
ers NEAR vision difficult or ex
hausting, that's all,
WE call this "Hyperopia."
Where the defect is great or the
person elderly, poor distance as
well as poor near vision results.
Hyperopia requires careful
correction with suitable glasses.

OPTOMETRIST.
Oregon laughed a few years ago
when California was having her
troubles with the Japanese question.
In fact California is still having that
same old problem to wrestle with, but
she has company now. Oregon Is be
ginning to feel the effect of Oriental
immigration and the menace is be
coming so great in the Hood River
Valley that an organization has been
formed there to prevent the menace
from becoming greater.
The new organization is known as
The Hood River Valley Association
for the Prevention of Japanese Land
Ownership. At the init'al meeting
of the organization, the 38 members
present signed a pledge against sell
ing or leasing to Japanese.
The formal pledge of members of
the anti-Japanese association follows:
Believing that the rapidly-increas
ing Japanese ownership of land In
Hood River valley menaces our wel
fare and threatens ultimate domina
tion of our homeland by Asiatics I
herewith apply for membership in an
association to be formed and pledge
myself as follows:
That America should be preserved
and protected for Americans; that no
child born in this country should be
come a citizen unless his parents be
long to a race eligible tu citizenship;
that no one but a natural-born or
fully naturalized citizen should be al
lowed to own or lease land; that the
Immigration of Asiatics to the Unit
ed states should be prohibited.
And further, I pledge on my sacred
honor that I will not, either directly
or Indirectly, sell or lease any land
which I may now or hereafter own or
be Interested in to a person of any
Asiatic race or to a corporation the
majority of whose stock is held by
Asiatics.

Years About Culling Flocks
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-
vallis. SeDt. 10. Poultrymen have
learned more in the last two years
about culling nonproductive poultry
than in the previous 60 pearB, in the
opinion of James Dryden, professor
of poultry husbandry at the college.
If the nonlayers are culled out the
coBt of producing eggs falls mater
ially. Now is a good time to cull.
The following are conditions which
Indicate noproductlveness: SUrlvled
condition of the comb, wattles, and
ear lobes; closeness" of pelvic bones,
and keel bone, contracted or harden
ed condition of the abdomen; yellow
shanks and beak In breeds that nat
urally have vellow shanks and beak
such as the leghorns wd Plymouth
rocks; molting of feathers.
The best breeding hens may be
selected by noting from October 15
to November 15 the following char
acteristics:
Inrnmnlete molt, red comb and
wattleB, and bright eyes; well-spread
nelvie bones, good depth from pelvic
bones to keel bone and soft abdomen;
pale shanks and beak and vent among
breeds that have naturally yellow
skin and shanks.

We Have the Plans for
That New House
Probably that is a question that has been on your mind
for a long time. The problem will be nearer to
solution after you have consulted our plans.
We have plans for any and every kind
of a house you may wish to build.
Let us furnish you estimates on your house
TODAY.
What Is a Home?
If it is merely a place to "hang your hat" or "spend the night" all you have to
do is to go back to the Indian method of living.
But a true home in these days means something more. It ia a place in which you
and your family can enjoy the comforts so dearly paid for each day a place around
which your lives can be built an influence which plays a mighty big part iu shap
ing the lives of men.
The value of a home can never be figured in dollars and cents. It has a market
value but its greater worth lies in the added comfort, happiness and contentment it
brings from being vour own.
