Mr. and Mrs. 0. T. Ferguson ar-1
lived the end of the week from
their home near Gold Beach for a
visit with relatives and friends. Mr.
Ferguson who a few years ago start
ed into the giant African frog in
dustry on the coast farm reported
that he now has the Rogue river
"valley well planted with the amphib
ians. The frogs had multiplied to the
point where enlargement of his pool
seemed necessary when an ' ambi
tious muskrat tunneled under the
fence enclosure, making an opening
through which a large number of
the frogs escaped. The break oc
curred while he was away for about
a month, and he now has no worry
about enlarging the quarters for
those remaining. Since the state now
requires a hunting license to get
frogs, he expects that his frogs may
be the cause of starting a new sport
in the section. The legs of these
amphibians are a choice morsel,
bringing as high as two dollars a
plate in larger restaurants. -
Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Tibbies re
turned home last week end ' from
Montana and Missouri where they
liad been visiting relatives and
friends. Mrs. Tibbies had gqne to
Missouri about a month previous,
while the doctor was called to Miles
City, Mont., two weeks before to the
sick-bed of his father who was
stricken with pneumonia. Mrs. Tib
bies joined him there and they re
turned home together by way of
Yellowstone national park which
they entered through the new Cook
pass. When they left Miles City, Mr.
Tibbies, Sr., was able to be about
the house and was apparently well
on the road to recovery.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin V. King and
Martin, Jr., aged 3, arrived yester
day morning from their home at
Hollywood for a two weeks' visit
with relatives and friends, being
guests at the home of Mr. King's
mother, Mrs. Truman Babb. They
drove north by the inland route,
taking the ' Weed-Klamath Falls
cut-off and coming up through cen
tral Oregon. Exceptionally hot
weather was experienced in the
Sacramento valley. Mr. King is
trombonist in the Paramount studio
orchestra.
Eddie Thorpe departed Friday for
South Dakota in response to word
of the death of his father there. He
accompanied a sister who motored
up from California. Mrs. Leslie Ras
mussen, another sister, who with
Mr. Rasmussen and children are on
vacation to Seattle, had not been
located when they left.
Louis Bergevin and Chas. Mc
Elligott of the west lone section took
time off from harvest Saturday af
ternoon long enough to transact
business here. Both reported harvest
quite well along with yields exceed
ing pre-harvest expectations though
still considerably short of what
might be desired.
Mrs. Clara Beamer, relief office
manager, left Saturday on her va
cation. She expected to pick up her
daughter, Miss Irene Beamer, at La
Grande, and go to Yellowstone na
tional park. Miss Margaret Brown
ing accompanied them as far as Ba
ker. Mrs. Fred E. Farrior and Miss
Lois Oliver came over from Pen
dleton yesterday and spent the day
visiting friends. They accompanied
Dr. J. P. Stewart who was making
his regular call on local eye pa
tients. Mrs. Sadie Sigsbee departed last
Saturday for Dillon Mont., to visit
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey
Parcell. She was taken as far as
Pendleton by her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Fur
long. Fred Hoskins and Lowell Turner
returned the end of the week from
a fishing trip to Baldy lake over in
the Greenhorn mountains, bringing
a beautiful catch of finny inhabi
tants of the place.
Miss Jennie Swendig has arrived
in the city and is assisting at the

Howard returned home last week
end from a week's visit at Yellow
stone national park, leaving again
Sunday morning for a further vaca
tion at Seaside.
Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Voile and
children departed Tuesday for Walla
Walla to make their home. They
have resided for several years in the
mountains near the forks of Rhea
creek.

How to Build House
For Homemakers Told
The average homemaker in the
Pacific northwest is 5 feet, 5.1 inches
tall, and weighs 144 pounds. Her
eyes are 61.1 inches from the floor,
her shoulders 53.8, her elbows 41.9,
while her finger tips, with arms
hanging down, are 26.3 inches from
the floor.
These may appear to be technical
and unimportant calculations, but
on the contrary they are highly sig
nificant in determining how high
various items in a kitchen or other
part of the house should be built for
greatest comfort, convenience, and
health, according to Maude Wilson,
home economist on the Oregon ex
periment station staff.
Miss Wilson, together with Evelyn
H. Roberts of the Washington exper
iment station and Ruth Thayer of
Oregon State, conducted careful re
search into the standards for work
ing surface heights and other space
units of the dwelling and have re
ported the results in bulletins under
that name issued from both stations.
As a result of the study, the inv
vestigators recommend that where
houses are being built for general
use, the average woman will find
it most convenient to have the bot
tom of the sink about 32 inches from
the floor, the ironing board 32
inches high, and the food prepara
tion table 31 inches from the floor.
Preferred heights for other tasks
around the house were also deter
mined. There was found to be less leeway
in the preferred dish washing and
ironing heights than in some others.
Therefore the authors of the bulletin
suggest that if there are no other
work surfaces in the kitchen except
on either side of the sink, the latter
should be lowered about 1 inch,
which would make the work sur
face several inches higher than the
best level, although not high enough
to cause as much trouble as if the
sink were lowered further.
Some tests were made on a group
of Oregon women to find out how
much variation in working surfaces
could be had without causing dis
comfort. It was found that women
could adjust themselves easily to
surface variations from 1 to 2 inches
above or below the average, hence
if houses built for sale or rent were
constructed according to the aver
age requirement, they would best
meet the needs of those who would
use them.
Mrs. Nichols' Home
Burns at Lexington
The home and contents of Mrs.
Beulah Nichols were completely
burned at Lexington in a fire of un
letermined origin starting about 3
o'clock Monday morning. Mrs. Nich
ols was asleep alone in the house
when the fire started, and escaped
with two quilts, two dresses and two
shoes, though the latter failed to
match. Books of the school district
of which Mrs. Nichols is clerk and
a few personal belongings were
saved as she had them in her car.
The fire had gained such headway
when discovered that efforts of the
volunteer fire department proved of
no avail. Mrs. Nichols is the Ga
zette Times correspondent at Lex
ington and is also an operator at the"
local telephone exchange.
Friends have planned a shower for
her benefit at the Christian church
in Lexington -at 3 o'clock tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon, and all Hepp
ner and Lexington friends are in
vited. The loss was partially cov
ered by insurance.
A LITTLE LOGIC
(Exchange)
When one is paid wages, the mon
ey received can be exchanged for
food, clothing, or any product of the
labor of others. The money itself
is valueless. It cannot be eaten, it
cannot be worn, it can shelter no
one. Its sole value is that it is ac
cepted in exchange for things one
needs, or wants, and is the means of
bartering the results of one's labor
for the results of the labor of others.
It is not wealth, but it may be ex
changed for wealth, for wealth, ec
onomically speaking, is a result of
labor. Nature supplies the materials
and forces out of which and by
which wealth is produced, but man
is the active agent whose physical
and mental effort converts these
into something useful.
All of this is very elementary ec
onomics and may be found in almost
any primer on the subject. It is not
only plain to see, but these facts are
recognized almost universally. It is
not quite so fully realized that debt
is the reverse of this theorem, and
is a promise to perform, at some fu
ture time, labor or services in ex
change for something which has at
ready been received. It can be easily
seen that with a sufficient load of
debt the productive capacity of all
the future years of a man's life
would be required to retire the
indebtedness. The United States
has not reached this condition, but
a very material portion of the pro
duction of future years will be ab-

sorbed by the present indebtedness.
The total debt of the country, pri
vate and. public, stood in 1935 at an
amount greater than twice the in
come of the citizens of this country
for a year, and at about three times
the average amount paid in salaries
and wages for the years 1931 to
1935. If the expectation in working
years for the average producer is
thirty, one-tenth of all the future
labor of those now producing will
be devoted to the repayment of pre
sent debts.
Private indebtedness is largely
self-sustaining and self-retiring. It
represents capital outlays to provide
for enlarged and increased produc
tion, and can be carried and repaid
from the production it makes pos
sible. Comparatively little of the
public debt incurred by federal,
state or municipal governments rep
resents expenditures which will cre
ate economic wealth necessary for
its own repayment. It must be re
paid, not by its own production, but
Sherwin-Williams Perfects BASUL, the New lopper
Compound That Kills Smut Germs Efficiently,
Economically. Tested and Approved
by Wheat Growers and
Experiment Stations
BUNT, or Stinking Smut, has long been recognized as a dangerous,
destructive disease of wheat. Treatments have improved with
scientific knowledge and experiments.
First came formaldehyde and
Other liquid solutions. But injury
made their use costly when
treated seed was stored dry for
more than 48 hours, or when
' seeded into soil too dry to cause
Immediate germination. It "set"
in the drills, and generally caused
inconvenience and extra expense.
Then came Copper Carbonate.
Because it is a dust material,
Copper Carbonate answered the
principal objection to liquid ma
terials. However, its discomfort
in use and high cost suggested
an improved copper compound.
So the Sherwin-Williams Fungicide
Laboratories developed BASULI
BASUL is a copper compound
(not copper carbonate.) It is a
finely-ground dust material. It
provides ideal control, contain
ing 32 metallic copper. It is
applied at only 2 ounces per
bushel of seed wheat, adhering
extremely well to the grains.
BASUL is easily applied with
standard seeding treating equip
ment; It costs leu per pound
than copper carbonate. And of
course causes absolutely no In
juryseed treated with BASUL
can be stored for months.
The experiences of hundreds
of wheat growers and experi
ment stations have proved that
BASUL gives better control ot
Bunt or Smut with greater con
venience and at lower cost!

by direct taxation which must fall
upon all of those whose labor is
productive. Already more than one
year of each working life will be
required to repay this public debt.
This obligation has not been a
slow accumulation of regularly in
creasing indebtedness. It has grown
nine times in size in the last twenty
five years. Approximately one-half
of the increase was made during the
war. An equal amount has been
added by federal, state and local
governments since the war ended.
The federal debt has doubled in the
five years of depression. The time
has come when a member of any
body which is charged with the re
sponsibility of spending public mon
ey, should turn again to the litera
ture of his childhood, and read Once
more, carefully and understanding
ly, the story of "The Goose that
Laid the Golden Eggs."
