A practical joker who died at Ilenui aome three centuries ago expressed the wish that representatives of the four orders of the Mendicant monks should accompany his coffin, each carrying four large candles— which he had pro vided In advance. It was done, but at the moat solemn moment of the funeral service the big candles exploded scat tering tire, smoke and consternation all around. They were all loaded like trick cigars.

The City of Hermiston does ordain aa follows: Sec. 1.

No nest Is built, and It Is the duty of the harassed mule to follow her move ments and to cover the eggs with bits of straw or grass, so that they may have at least some protection, says Lee 8. Crandall In the Mentor. The clutch varies from two to as many as eighteen eggs; Just how the male keeps track of them all Is still a mys tery. When lie feels that no more are to follow he scoops a shallow hollow In the ground and gathers Into it bis scattered treasures. Then he humbly begins the process of Incubation, a task which lusts for eight weeks—the longest Incubutlon period known to birds. When the babies emerge he lavishes on them an attention thnt no mother could excel. Tills great bird, nearly ns large ns an ostrich, leading a brood of chicks, might serve as a perfect example of motherly solici tude. He guards his children for a year and a half, leaving them only to yield to the persuasive "boom” that again beads his neck to the yoke. While her downtrodden mate Is "keep ing the home together" the mother emu Is roaming the country "boom ing“ for another mats.

The customer who quits and says nothing— The insidious thir~ about this law is that industries do not complain— they simply pack up and m ove to another state! They are like the customer who quits and says nothing— you nev:r know he is dissatisfied nor why — hence have no chance to make matters right with him. Many large concerns who left or stayed out of Ore gon on account of the income tax refused to allow ua to use their names because they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodger*— and yet they could not af ford to carry a tax burden in Oregon which they did not need to pay in California or Washington! There ¡3 an old adage which says, "Business is sensitive. It goes only where it is invited and stays only where it is well treated." W e cannot afford to A N TAGONIZE enterprises which other states are INVITING I Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED O U T OF OREGON OR DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON because of the income tax law. Counting loss of capital invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already conservatively estimated at more than $40,000,000. The payroll loss alone is already over $6,000,000 a year I This insidious must It is hurting Oregon! had planned to eatabliah our Northwest iweat headquarters in Portland.
