The next time we visit Wyoming we will bring a 10 gallon hat. For that type of male headgear fits the landscape. The ordinary felt hat or the boating straw, not only faila to fit the landscape, but makes the wearer as conspicuous as a racoon coat in a Nudist colony. The entire male population of Buffalo wear the sombrero type of head covering including the babies, and to all of them, fat and lean, old and young, it is becoming. A little girl in this household when she dresses up puts on a pair of blue jeans, and a hat as big as she is, with a silver studded leather belt somewhere in between. She looks stunning. .... The weather reports of Buffalo, Wyoming may not be of absorbing interest to the people of Southern Oregon, but having opened the subject we might as well make the record complete. Last night there was a heavy thunderstorm, and outside the family garden is nicely soaked. The young man who has been rounding up the yearlings on the ranch, came in to breakfast for his day off, and some hard hearted grown up suggested he hoe the garden. He was terribly put out to find the garden was too wet. As a result of the downpour everyone in this part of Wyoming is feeling better. .... Farmers here who have no mortgages on their properties are out of luck. They can't get government loans. Those with mortgages can and have. A turkey, chicken and dairy rancher was in here yesterday. He is a tural college, and married a Boston girl who spent a summer at the Horton ranch. He reported he had secured a government loan of $30 an acre, because he was in danger of losing his place to the man who held the mortgage, and frankjy admitted it was more than his ranch is worth. But why should he worry t He has paid off his mortgage," sells cream, chickens and turkeys in Sheridan, and plans a trip to Boston in the fall. If business continues good he is sitting pretty, if it doesn't Uncle Sam gets the ranch. Distances here mean nothing. An invitation to afternoon tea at a place 60 miles away was accepted with alacrity. The drive over was delightful through beautiful fertile country, green and rolling, fat stock and fine looking barns and houses. Our desti nation was one of the show places in the Big Horn country, owned by an Englishman, who came here 40 years ago. At the foot of the beautiful Big Horn mountains, he is monarch of all he surveys.

En route home looked in at the famous Eaton ranch, one of the first and best known dude ranches in the west. Of the three Eaton brothers only one is left, he met us at the main building, an elderly man, rugged, genial, genuine. His hands were so dirty he refused to shake with tho tea party, and made them no better by wiping off some surplus tobacco juice from his chin. It's odd about peoplo personality is an elusive thing. It took only a few minutes to show tho tea party Mr. ERton was a REAL person it was easy to, see how the dudes would like and respect him his neighbors also no matter in what environment he might be thrown he would make himself felt, and people of all kinds would be drawn to him. He showed us Mary Roberts Rhinchart'a cottage "we call it her cottage but it belongs to Eaton Brothers" he said. He invited us all to dinner, clean as a pin and the large but attractive dining room. 'Come on and stay'? he urged, "I will ring a pig's neck for you, and you can have a dance after." It was tempting for in spite of the tea, the long drive and cool mountain air had given us a keen appetite. However we had to get home, with the sun get ting low in th,e west, and over 70 miles to go. . . . Returning via Sheridan we stopped in at an artist's cottage but no one was at home. The maid, a true westerner, invited us in offering drinks and cigarettes. She thought Mr. H. might be at his studio only a short walk off through the trees. We wandered over and found a note on the studio door "Gone fish ing." On the other side of the card was written "Havo gone sketching." This was apparently his vacation day. Tho room was full of attractive water eolors and etchings. Mr. H. recently roceived the gold medal for his etchings exhibited in San Fran cisoo. The young lady in the party liked the watcrcolors best "they were so bright and colorful." But the member of tho party not so young said, she would take one etching of wild geese in flight, for all the water colors. The latter was undoubtedly right, but we agreed with the former. R. W. R.

I have reduced three of them this week and I tee about that many cases every week. The cause of the subluxation la so trivial in many instances that It la hard ly believable.

Along with that came a letter from an osteopath who seconds my motion that the regular physicians and the legally qualified osteopaths cease their petty bickering and get. to gether and teach each other a few things both ought to know.

This time the osteopath haa his letterhead printed plainly enough John Doe, Osteopath ic Physician and Surgeon. The funny, name .lilac subluxation, probably doesn't mean much to the lay reader. It is in the nature of a r train, sprain or slight dislocation of the Junction between the base of the spine (sacrum) and the wing of tho pelvic or hip bone, illlm, and so It is sometimes called sacro-iliao strain or sprain.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Epherdiine. Began taking your calcium lactate two weeks before my regular hay fever season, but without avail. Con tinued two weeks after the hay fever started but the hay fever Increased in severity. Then tried ephedrine In capsules and found Immediate relief. Took two capsules dally for four weeks and occasionally had to take one at night, but It gave me the most comfortable season I've - known for many years. The ephedrine Is reason able In price, too, compared with most nostrums. (J. N.) Answer It is all right, only be sure you do not get ephedrine "compound." which means other medicines, pos sibly unsafe ones, added to the ephs drlne, Calcium Lactate. Taking calcium lactate as recom mended by you for hay fever helped me a lot last season, and several of my friends who did not take it had attacks aa hard as ever. (E. L. M., New York.) Answer Now If we knew the spe cific cause in your case and the spe cific cause In the case of J. N. of Wis consin, we might begin to understand something. Crackers. Habit of eating oyster crackers. Soma days a pound, some days half a pound. I'm fat enough and don't want to gain any more. Are they fattening? (W. O. X.) Answer Only 1,905 calories In the pound.

Hrl yyoxk, Comment on the Day's News By FBANK JENKINS OREGON had no state exhibit last year at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago. Arthur Poster, formerly with the land settlement department of the state chamber of commerce, before that Immigration agent for the Great Northern and Northern Paclflo rail' ways, thinks Oregon OUOHT to have an exhibit this year. MRc, POSTER, last year, was in charge of the Washington ex. hlblt at the Century of Progress. The Washington exhibit cost $20,. 000. By actual count, two and a half million people saw It. That's getting pretty cheap adver tising, f DOT even this doesn't tell the whole U story. At the Washington exhibit last year, Mr. Poster says, they made a PROFIT of 810,000 on the small num. ber of Washington products they were able to offer for sale to the crowds. He says they could have made 8100,000 If they had had the products to sell for the crowds wanted to buy, and they HAD MONEY. AT FIRST they thought they could not sell anything. Then they found they could because of a change In rules. - So one day they put up for sale a couple of boxes of Washington appln that were on exhibit and were getting a'llttle soft. They went like hot cakes at a nickel apiece. Then they sent over to the cold stor age warehouses, which were Jammed with apples, for more. The first day they sold 38 boxes. The second day they sold 40 boxes. The third day they sold SO. It kept on going that way until they had got up to 120 boxes a day at five cents per apple. THEN aomethlng happened. Floyd Olbbona went on the ra dio one night with one of his char acteristic, rapid-fire talks. Among other things, he said: "Folks, ths marvel of the Century of Progress la the Washington state exhibit. If youll come here, you'll see people from all over the U. S. fighting each other for the privilege of paying a nickel apiece for Wash ington apples, then going over to the other exhibits, sitting down and eat ing them and throwing the cores on the floor." THE Washington people though Floyd's talk was hot stuff, and patted themselves on the back. But It WASN'T so hot. The next day the Chicago health authorities came down on them like a ton of bricks, told them their apple cores were unsightly, unsanitary and a menace to health and that the sale of apples HAD TO BE STOPPED. The Chicago ,olk, probably prodded on by the other state exhibits, Just couldn't bear to see Washington get ting away with anything like that. pHEY had to quit selling apples. But they sold candy made of ap ples and a few other products, and out of It all they made a profit of 810.000 for the year, thus halt pay lng the cost of the exhibit. nnHE Washington people thought aays, was sadly lacking In actual agricultural products. They had three potatoes, preserved in formaldehyde In Jars. They had dozen prunes, four walnuts and ten filberts. They had a few boxes of apples. But even this unbelievably small exhibit of actual products, he aays, made a great hit with Eastern people, and actually did much to open new marketa for Washington products. OBSERVATION of success with ar Washington's exceedingly small amount of money has led a number of people to believe Oregon should have an exhibit at the Cen tury of Prbgress this year. Portland has agreed to put up 110, 000 if another 110,000 can be raised by the state. It will have to be done quickly, of course, If It Is done at all, for the exposition is now open. Mr. Foster was In Southern Oregon last week, telling the story and seek ing Southern Oregon support. TpHE crowds, he says, are there. They have money to spend for , what they want. They want ENTERTAINMENT. They'll buy the fruits and other fancy food products of the Pacific Coast. They're keenly Interested In outdoor exhibits, showing hunting, fishing and scenery spending hours before them. ,He tells an Interesting tsle. and this writer, for one, enjoyed listen ing to him.

(AP) Rain has come to parched farms of the west, but in many places too late to pour life back Into burned grain fields. Water was still precious In spite of heavy rains In seven states last night. Additional rains were fore cast generally for the ravaged area, lending hope that the peak of six weeks drought damage has been reached. Although rain fell in Iowa, Illin ois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da kota, Nebraska and Indiana, a sur vey showed today that much of the early small grain was beyond re demption and the need for Immed iate relief acute.

It is a shrewd answer to those who have been criti cising the administration for com munistic tendencies, and Is so In tended.
