THE MAYOR SAYS SOMETHING
T (Mitchell, la. 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.

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.

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.

UIT BT TEST
First Coddling Moth Spray
Tho warm weather of the past Jew
lay a is brining out quite a number
of codling- moth and all pears and
apples should be thoroughly covered
with Arsenate of Lead between the
Sales of May 10th 20th. 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.

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."

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.
