Student's Bookcase.
An excellent bookcase for students
is made In the following way : Pro-
cure for shelves four smooth boards,
20 Inches long and 10 inches wide,
and about two-thirds inch thick.
Screw a slat on to the extreme ends
of the sides of the shelves to accom­
modate the text-books. Screw the
other slats to the shelves one and
one-half Inches apart. This will leave
in open space of seven Inches In the
middle of each shelf. There arc no
slats on the ends of the shelves. Take
the long screw from the top of a dis-
carded piano stool and fasten ft to
the center of the under side of the
lowes chelf. Screw the bookcase Into
the ; ano stool. The* revolving book­
case nay be stained to match the stu­
dent’s furniture.
Modern Cereals Superior.
The wheat and barley of today are
much larger and finer grains than the
wheat and barley which have been
found In ancient Egyptian tombs and
In the burled cities of Greece, As
for rice, which feeds more than one-
third of the human race, there are
now a number of varieties (developed
chiefly by the Japanese) which are
far superior to any that were known
even half a century ago.
All of our grains, excepting maize,
seem to have originated in southern
Asia. Consumption of rice, the great
Asiatic cereal. Is now growing rapidly
In the United States, most of our peo­
ple having learned only recently to ap­
preciate It, and how to prepare It for
the table.

HERMISTON,
Kissing to Cure.
“Come to mother, dear, shell kiss It
and make It better.”
Isn't this the regular thing when a
child sustains an injury, real or
imagined?
Little do they realize, these Indulg­
ing mothers and husbands, that in this
mock ministration they are but Imi­
tating the practice of old time sorcer­
ers who pretended to cure diseases by
sucking the affected part. In their
superstitious, myth-tenanted age they
found the people easy prey to their Im­
positions, but today even the baby is
skeptical of the curative powers of a
kiss on a bruised knee!
Quaint Industries.
Observation of the world’s Industri­
als reveals some very quaint callings,
for there are queer habits and strange
desires on the part of various races,
and always there are those who cater
to those customs or undertake to sup­
ply the wants. As queer a trade or
profession as any Is that of “tooth-
stafner,” which flourishes in parts of
Asia, where the natives regard black
teeth as a crowning beauty. The tooth-
stainer, equipped with little brushes
and boxes of coloring matter, calls on
his customers at regular intervals. In
general, the operation Is not unlike
that of blacking a shoe.
Oregon Must Have a Port Equal
• to Any Port on the Pacific Coast
Initiative measure No. 310 on the ballot gives to the Port of Portland
means to create such a port.
The primary object of this bill is to furnish the means to insure the open­
ing and maintaining of a 30 foot channel from Portland to the sea and of build­
ing and establishing port facilities at the City of Portland sufficient to handle
the foreign and coastwise shipping of that port.
The cost of this improvement will be met by the people living within
the boundaries of the Port of Portland.
When you go to the Polls November second vote 310 YES and give to
the Port of Portland the power to maintain its 30 foot channel to the sea and
to build adequate port facilities to handle all of the great products of the in-
terior of the state.
The passage of this bill means lower rates for the products of Oregon
in reaching the markets of the world and a consequent greater profit to the
producer.
This is the most important and the most valuable measure that has ever
been put up to the voters of the interior portions of the state.
VOTE 310 YES

TOOK TIME TO DO THINGS
In “Ox-Cart Days” Men of Genius Did
Their Literary Work Leisurely
and Well.
How did they do it, those old fel-
lows? Take a novel by Thackeray, for
example. It Is monumental. Looks as
If one of them would be a life work,
The mere penning of It appals a mod-
ern man.
Yet Thackeray turned out
volume after volume as If time and
energy were Interminable.

where are the Thackerays? Or the
Goethes, Dickenses, Hugos and Bal­
zacs?
Men of their day were compelled to
waste time. A Journey of a few miles
took all day. or’several days. A din-
tier invoived sitting up all night and
drinking one's self under the table. A
message to a friend was not a ten-
word telegram, but a beautifully
penned and excellently expressed es-
say. Such letters were preserved and
handed down. Later they were put in­
to print How many letters have you
written which will be handed down?
And how would you like to have the
beat letter you ever wrote put Into
print? Chances are that If you write
more than two pages you apologise.
And you sign IL “Yours hastily.”
The men of the ox-cart days did
things thoroughly and well. In the
days of the wireless, we “have no
time.”—Lynn (Mass.) Item.
NEW YORK GOAL OF PILGRIMS
Their Original Intention Was to Found
a Colony There, but Plane
Were Fruetratod.
The Pilgrim Fathers might have
founded New York If It had not been
for the bribing of the Mayflower sk ‘p-
per by the Dutch, who persuaded him
to keep the Pilgrims from the month
of the great river, which they planned
to settle with a colony of their own.
The ancient charter of the Pilgrims
gave them land which probably in­
cluded New York.
The patent was
granted to them after they fled from
the Virginia company. This grant was
not exactly the instrument the Pil­
grims wanted, because of its religious
provisions.
The Pilgrims wished to
get a patent that would permit them
the fullest liberty of worship, but the
king refused to give them a charter In
which a definite stipulation of relig-
lous freedom was contained. So they
were forced to content themselves
with the Virginia patent. It being sug­
gested by their sympathizers that In
the wilderness they would probably
not be disturbed.
