An important New Yorker called me up to ask about two doctors who run a clinic in a little town in Canada. He knew that I had visited them some years ago and that they did me much good. I described them to him in the words of one of their patients. "They are human ferrets," I said. "They seem to be able to discover and correct conditions where even specialists have failed." The man went up to the clinic and stayed three weeks. Yesterday he telephoned me to say that he had not felt so well in years. He was so enthusiastic that I could hardly get him off the phone. I sent another man up to Bill Brown's health farm opposite West Point. The man is vice president of a business that has had plenty of problems. He was nervous and discouraged. He came back from Bill's on the top of the world. I referred a friend to an archi tect who has done some very clever work for us on our country house, f My friend was delighted. The doctors write me letters of thanks. So does Bill. So does the architect. They think I have done them a friendly service. I reply that, on the contrary, the obligation is entirely on my part. They have given me one of the best pleasures in life, the pleasure of recommend ing someone who is really competent. How seldom we have that pleas ure. What a discouraging lot of applications we receive from men who want to do something but have never done anything really well. It is time for someone to reprint and redistribute Elbert Hubbard's "Message to Garcia." It tells, you remember, how President McKin ley, when the Spanish war broke out, needed to get Immediate word to the leader of the Cuban Insur gents, General Garcia. Some one told the President there was a man named Major A. S. Rowan who could find Garcia. Major Rowan took the letter, ask ed no questions, sought no direc tions or advice, but quietly and promptly set sail for Cuba, made his way through the wilderness and delivered the letter. Hubbard sang his praises. "Civ ilization Is one long anxious search for just such indivdiuals," he ex claimed. "Anything such a man asks shall be granted. He is want ed in every city, town and village in every office, shop, store and factory. The world cries out for such: he is needed and needed bad ly the man who can "Carry a Mes sage to Garcia'." I do not think that humanity is inherently selfish or hardboiled. I think there are many business men who would like to help their fellows to better jobs and more business. But so few of those who want help have ever delivered anything. Now and then comes one who does deliver. And what a Joy it Is to recommend him! FORD The best news I have seen In the papers in a long time is the an nouncement that Henry Ford is about to start production on a new line of cars. Lots of people have been waiting to make up their minds what car to buy this spring until they see the new Ford. I think there is going to be a big rush for new cars of all makes as soon as the new Ford models are rhown. Most of the cars now in use are pretty well shot, and now that the definite upswing in busi ness and industry has begun, this ought to be the biggest year ever in the automobile business, for Ford and for everybody else who makes a good, low-priced car. And the number of men who will go back to work in the Ford fac tories will make a big dent in the unemployment situation. WALLACE The death of Edgar Wallace, most prolific writer of detective fiction, is a personal loss to hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been in the habit of reading every new Wallace book as soon as it came out No writer ever lived who produced such an Immense vol ume of entertaining stories of such uniformly high quality. Wallace frequently worked on three or four books at once, dictating each to a different stenographer, and more than once wrote an entire full-sized novel in less than a week. He was never at a loss for a plot, and his characters carried the stamp of re ality. Edgar Wallace was a giant of a man. of apparently limitless physi cal energy, but even the strongest is not proof against pneumonia. There are many other good writers of flrst-rato detective stories, but none who has Wallace's energy and capacity for rapid work. BUTLER Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has just celebrated his thirtieth anni versary as President of Columbia University In New York City. Un der Dr. Butler s guidance uoiumDia has become the largest university Jimmy on Ice SS' inr Debonair James J. Walker, Mayor ol New York, in his sub-arctic cos tume at the Winter Olympic Garnet) Lake Placid, New York. HOW TO SAVE CASH TOLD FOR DAIRIES In the world, with something like thirty thousand students and a staff of three thousand professors and instructors. There are a good many people who think that Dr. Butler talks too much, but they are mainly folks who don't like what he says. There is no stauncher defender of the fundamental principles of democra cy than he. And I do not know of anyone who had a sounder or more complete foundation of education to begin with, or who has made as good use of it, as Nicholas Murray Butler. His Influence over thirty successive graduating classes of Columbia will live for generations. SILVER Now that the major financial problems of the nation are rapidly being cleared up, attention In Washington is focusing again on the monetary position of silver, or which I have spoken before In this column. Senator Plttman of Nevada has introduced a bill for the purchase by the government of five million ounces of silver a month, to be paid for in silver certificates. That prob ably will not be done in just that way, but I know so many people in influential financial and political circles who believe that something must be done to restore silver to its money position, and who are work ing so hard and intelligently tow ard that end, that I believe we shall see something effective done about it before very long. NAMES TInrter the common law which nrevalls throuehout most of the ITnlted States, a Dcrson's name Is anything he or she chooses to make It after arriving at the age or Inde pendence. If I wanted to call my aelf Solomon Grundv and so an nounced, that would be my name. It would not be necessary lor me to ask the permission of any court or legislature, though I might get in to trouble if I changed my name to evade the laws, civil or criminal. .lames Branch Cabell, famous American author, has just made the public announcement that his name is now simply Branch Cabell. Col. Frank Knox. Dublisner or tne uni- cago Daily News, just appointed head of the President's anti-hoard- Intr commission was christened William Franklin Knox, but he pre fers to be known as ranK unox, and that Is therefore his legal name. President of the United States have changed their names. Grover Cleveland was Stepnen u. Cleve land as a young man, ana wooa m Wilnnn was Thomas W. Wil son. Herbert Clarke Hoover has changed his name to plain Herbert Hoover, with wnicn ne signs an -melnl rlnenments.

Your name is whatever you call yourself. Euiene Two demonstrations with the control of weeds by use of drv sodium chlorate have been started through cooperation of Lane county farmers with County Asent Fletcher. On the Stewart Hurd farm at Coburg this method Is being tried with quack grass, ap plying the chemical in the winter, On the J. A. Noher farm near Springfield, tests with Canada this tles have been startea. Corn for Small Operator Said to Reduce Feed Expense; Sest Root Crops Described. An opportunity for small Oregon dairymen especially to reduce their cash costs materially this year is pointed out by E. R. Jackman, crops specialist of the college ex tension service. This is possible, he says, through substituting corn for the usual spring small grain crops. "Where a dairyman ordinarily plants from 10 to 20 acres of spring oats his expense for harvest ing and threshing is bound to re quire a cash outlay fairly high com pared to the value of the grain ob tained," Jackman pointed out "Good acclimated corn varieties will usually produce around 800 pounds more grain per acre than the spring small grains, and can.be grown from seeding time to harvest without a bit of actual cash outlay except for the seed itself." This plan is especially workable where alfalfa hay is grown, says Mr. Jackman, as corn makes an ex cellent grain feed with that type of hay. Then by adding either roots or kale as succulent feed, a farmer may provide practically hia whole year's supply of dairy feed with lit tle or no outlay for labor or spec ial services such as threshing. Many inquiries have been re ceived at the college as to the best root crops to use. This varies greatly with section of the state, the crop men say. Coast regions are now turning almost solidly to the Bortfield turnip introduced by the Astoria experiment station. Co lumbia county favors these, and many are grown successfully In Washington county as well. Else where they are uncertain with few er field tests having been made. In the Willamette valley the fa vored general purpose root crop is the Giant Half Sugar variety of mangel beets. This variety is wide ly adapted and produces good yields. East of the mountains in the irrigated sections mangels are good where curly top disease is not a serious factor, but where it is much better results are had with one of the heavy yielding sorts of stock carrots. Carrots are also the Durable John D. The elder Rockefeller posed for this remarkable photograph the first day he was out after a severe ill ness. He's 93 and says, "I feel fine, thank you." easiest to store where climatic con ditions prevent the roots staying in the ground through the winter for use as needed. Best mangel va rieties at the Union station are Red Eckendorf, Danish Ludstrup and Giant Half Sugar, In that or der, while White Belgian is the best stock carrot Enterprise Fall farrowed pigs ready to market in 5 months is the record made by Lawrence Pratt of this section. Mr. Pratt has fol lowed the sanitation plan for erad ication of round worms in hogs as worked out by the federal depart ment of agriculture and introduced here by County Agent Donaldson and the state college livestock ex tension specialist Other growers have found that this sanitation plan has reduced their pig losses as much as 80 per cent 5 f-L- As r-rty m urn m m m WDM IK m ii 1 lUI V J DRIED FRUITS PRUNES 40-50 size 10 LBS 59c DATES Full of syrup 2 LBS 23c PEACHES Try some 2 LBS 23c APRICOTS At a saving 2 LBS 25c APPLES Sliced 2 LBS 25c BLACK FIGS For variety and economy, died fruits Just fill the bill.
