A POET THAT FAILED " (Albany Democrat) Howard McKinley Corning of Portland Is the featured poet In the current Lariat In spots his work Is not as bad as had been anticipated. Uncle John Westerlund has recov ered sufficiently from a winter in California, to come down town with a cane. American preachers loose in Russia continue to praise the Soviet form of government. Another month of pulpit propaganda for Mr. Trotxky, and the contention that preachers, as a class, are underpaid will be exploded. ; Seven feminine residents of Chica go, more or less, young and fair, are In the hospital and the morgue, from unscheduled leaps out of strange auto mobiles.

Index) We don't Just know why horses, chickens, hogs, cows and men some times care to wander from their own feed yard, but they do. They don't seem to realise that it makes folk cuss who never cussed before. We don't know how a horse knows that there's something planted Just whero be plants his hoof. We don't know why folks come to the Mayor about chicken troubles; It's lots closer to the owner of the chickens many, many times- than it la to tho Mayor, but most people refrain from mentioning the lunttor to the ehukeneo. The .Mayor, of course, gets 14.00(fourteen) 'per year and many lemons but it always docs seem to us that If you can't keep your chickens, hogs, horses, husbands from running loose It is better to got rid of them. So please chicken up before folks mako their gardens. Bort Carson, Mnyor. Dlst.) Frank , iBHINHr-HSIgn bis. and doubtful.

There whs no disnlay of limbs and lingerie, niis yet many Jackson county drama, lovois ventured forth. MR. ALBRIGHT of Oregon City is at it again. Undismayed by repeated defeats lie is Bgain circulating petitions to get his pet measure on the ballot, which would put the legal interest rute in this state at six per cent. Heaven knows Oregon has enough freak laws on the statute books now, and in the natural course of events more freak laws will he pro posed. But why in the name of common scute should the people of Oregon be foreed to vote on the same measure, every twelve months t It is impossible to hold a state election in this state without hav ing this Albright measure, and at least one single tax measure on the ballot Both proposals have been voted down repeatedly by overwhelming majorities. Why allow the farce to continue? It seems to us that the time has come to put the brakes on this per renniul pet measure shooting. A sensible procedure would be to pass another law, making it impossible for an initiative measure defeated Lt one state election to be proposed the following year, and to place three consecutive defeats, as sufficient to bury the same initiative bill for at least sis years. Every election costs the tax payers money. Every added meas ure increases the expense. A few sensible restrictions would not threaten the enactment of any measure that the people of Oregon really want. If the next legislature would pass one bill against freak bills, and another against professional initiative blackmailers., it would need to do nothing more to achieve a glorious immortality. Quill Points A man is just a bundle of habits wrapped up in an appetite. A nation never falls too low to think God its partisan. Truth crushed to earth will rise again. It must be related to the fly. Philosophy is just the art employed to kid yourself into the belief that nionev isn't evervthing. The astonishing thing is not the stork's bill in which the infant is carried, but the doctor's bill. Correct this sentence: "Although she had won a beauty contest, she was a great help to her mother at home." What the traveling men desire is a snubber that will take the bumps out of the small-town hotel mattresses. RippIingRhiisitQs w wiT rcaron L MA KINDNESS TO ANIMALS. WIIEX first. I bought my brindled cow she was as wild as cows can be; a frown was ever on her brow, she seemed to have it in for me. And she would hook me with her horns, and kick me where it hurt the most. "It's evident to me," I said, "her former master had no heart; he doubtless clubbed her on the head and knocked her aching ribs apart. Consistent kindness, I believe, will make this cow forget her cares; I'll see what kind ness can achieve in softening the grouch she wears." And so her furrowed neck I'd pat, and tell her she was simply grand and take a pumpkin from my hat and let her eat it from my hand. I used no language rough and rude, I did not swat her with a rail, and soon old Bossie ceased to brood ; when I approach she wags her tail. She follows me like Mary's lamb, where crowds abide, where traffic ronrs, and merchants say sueh words as "Ding!" when she and I blow in their stores, thus kindness makes dumb brutes our friends; if every voter would be kind, he well might have, where'er he wends, a faithful, loving eow behind. Every Woassan "that bakes with Calumet and there ' . are millions of them has learned three im portant baking facts.' First; that she never has any failures, which means no loss of time and ma terial. Second; that her bakings are always pure and wholesome, which goes a long way toward perfect health. A Third; that the greater than usual leavening strength of Calumet stands for economy be-, cause she uses less. .The Economy BAKING POWDER ! 1 ' sales are 150 greater than that of any other brand. w A poanJ can of Calumet contain fait 16 ounces.

This rover ?pray should get the first part of this brood. Tho maximum part of the brood, however, will not be out until about the last of May, hut an appli cation should be made at this time and followed again in about two weeks. It is noticed that Rome of the -rowers are lata in gelling on their Calyx Spray on apples und this spray should be on at this time. Where the calyx spray Is being applied late it would be mvessaiy to repeat the operation within at least 10 days. This is one of the most Important ap plications for the control of codling moth and all parts of the fruit and leaves should be thoroughly coated. Many of the eggs of the first brood are deposited on the underside of the leaves and care should be taken that the underside, as well as the top side should be coated. Jn the large trees the centers should be sprayed first and it will be found to be of great advantage to use a tower to spray large trees. One pound of powder to fifty gallons of water and two pounds of paste to fifty gallons is the stand ard arsenate of lead spray and this strength will control codling moth if the applications are made at the right time and thorough work is done. However it may be wise to use one and one-half pounds of powder to fifty gallons or three pounds of paste, but this increased Btrength will not control moth unless all fruit and foliage is thoroughly coated. Where spreaders are used, it Is recommended that casein spreaders be used on pears and oil emulsion, one gallon to one hundred gallons so lution can be used to an advantage on apples if emulsion can not be ob tained. Where aphids are showing up it will be well to add from one and one-half pints to two pints of nicotine to the two-hundred-gallon tank. From one to one and one-half pounds of casein spreader is suffic ient to the two-hundred-gallon tank. C. C. CATE, May 8. 1923. County Agent. i COMMUNICATIONS Says Tribune Account Incorrect To the Editor: In your issue of the Ith Inst, headed, "Indict H. S. Student in Death Case." in which the facts j were apparently not in your posses- j sion, please permit me space for pres-1 entation of the facts which can he verified by any member of the investi gating srand jury. In the first place Earl Barnard is not now. and was not at the time of the fatal tragedy a high school student. Sliss Dollar was a high school student and lived with her aunt. Mrs. Rowley, instead of with the Barnards as stated in your article. Neither were these young people out for a stroll as you state and stag ing a mimic holdup, but upon the con trary Miss Dollar was on her way from school to the Rowley home when young Barnard who was seated in an ( automobile upon the opposite side of j the street from her left his car, j crossed the street, stepped in front cf j her holding two revolvers in his bands ! the butt of one revolver and the mui-! zle of the other pointed at her and refused to allow her to pass. Then came the fatal explosion of the gun with the mutzle pointed at her. and the life so full of sweetness, hope and cheer to us. in its flowerhood of youth' left naught but blasted hopes, sorrows and broken hearts. Indeed, it seems true that fate, to Some, is so unkind. The grand jury' records show that young Barnard knew that the revolver was loaded and also that he had fin ished cleaning the guns only a fewvj minutes before the shooting, but that he didn't know why he pulled the trig ger. The records also show that while he and Miss Dollar bad been friendly that she had refused to be a sweet heart and had warned him repeatedly to stop molesting her, which he per sistently refused to do. No coroner's inquest was ever had to ferret out the facts as you state, although the moth er and relatives of the unfortunate girl would gladly have welcomed said in quest. Perhaps this was an accident. We wonder. But there may be some lesson gleaned from its horrors by fathers, mothers and possibly the mod ern youthful gtin-toters of whom the press are giving so numerous and con stant warnings. As an uncle of the dead girl 1 solicit you to submit these facts to the public and by their ver dict we'll abide. To us there is this consolation and solace: "Rose leaves, when the rose Is dead. Are heap'd for the beloved's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone. Love itself shall slumber on." EDWARD RUSSELL. Central Point, Ore., May 7, 1923. N'ot 7th Cunrch, Chicago. To the editor: In your isue of Sunday. April 29. there appeared a dispatch from Chi cago, reporting Seventh Church of Christ. Scientist of that city as having filed a voluntary petition in bank ruptcy, the impression being given that tho petitioner was a branch of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The report is a mistake. The bank nipt petitioner to which your press dispatch refers is not Seventh Church of Christ Scientist of Chicago, but the so-called Seventeenth church, which is not an authorized church of the Christian Science denomination, having never qualified or been ap proved or recognized as a branch of the Mother Church in Boston.
