Tillamook Headlight, August 2?, I Pin* Uncle Silas Says. Gertrude, yesterday 1 heard you talking with mother about changing your name whi n you get man leu and it seem» to worry you. Smet then 1- have been wondering it you are expecting something really sir ious to occur from the message to an unknown ygiung man, which you wrote on a egg when you were pack mg eggs tor me to send to market tne outer day. there, dear, don't pout dear, you know 1 like to joke some times out, seriously, why should not a woman hold to her maiden name and thus preserve her personality tnrough her married life- lo my mind there are many reasons why this should be. Sometimes a woman, who has a fine surname, marries a man who has an ugly name. In that case a woman ought to be able to re tain her own name if she chooses to, ana the man, to escape his ugly namt ought to change his, rather than the woman adopt it. It ought to be left with the woman whether to change her name or not. 1 he present style simply implies the absorption of the woman by the man, and she, so far as name is concerned, no longer ex ists. Sometimes it may happen that the woman’s name stands for a nobit lineage, but that, too, must be for feited to the matrimonal necessity as it at present exists. 1 his does not seem right to me. A compromise may be effected so that if Miss Helen Washington marries a man named John Brown, she might be known thereafter as Washington-Brown, or Brown-Washington. 1 hat would be far better I am sure than Mrs. John Brown. “Waste brings want” is an old and true saying, and saving is a good dis position for anyone to possess, but. where a constant methodical conserva tion of one’s financial resources is practiced, it soon degenerates into a mania—a condition but little short oi insanity. When one become so frugal as to be always trying to take advan tage of the necessities of other peo ple to get from them something for much less than its value, in my view that is downright dishonestv. For in stance, many employers of labor are constantly changing their employes whose term of service is always un certain, because of somebody who is in great ni ■ d of « mploj nu nt, off< i to work for less than they are gettin the “bosi” dots 1"»! hesitate a mo ment to make the change to save the difference in wages. 1 hen, too, there are people who save to hoard. Money is their only God, and it grieves them to part with it. Avariciousness is a disposition that is easily cultivat ed. A man begins with saving to pro tect his family and ends with neglect ing them to save. I once knew an old tight w ad who began “saving up,” as lie called it, to make sure that his family would never come to want, and the way he made every edge cut in trimming down his expenses was disgusting, lie was in a small manu facturing business, and one day,being in need of the services of an office boy advertised for one at a salary of $3 a week. 1 was attending an acad cmy at the time, and seeing the ad vertisement in the newspaper 1 cor rectly inferred that the old tight wad was responsible for it, and it made me angry. I reasoned that the kind oi boy he would employ would eat worth of food in a week, so 1 answer cd the advertisement about this way “I beg to offer you my services. Should you require a premium I could furnish $ioo which I will gladly pay for the privilege of working for you. You do not mention Sundays Should I have to work on that day? Neither do you state whether the ap plicant must be clothed or not, but I have concluded that he must at least wear trousers, or he would be unable to carry home his wages.” Amos a miserly person is always at outs with the world in general and himself in particular. When I was a boy and lived at home on a farm in Illinois the wealthiest farmer and the most unhappy man in all that region was Bill Stevens, who was noted for his miserliness, and the boys of the neighborhood were con tinually playing practical jokes on him which kept him in a frenzy ot rage about all the time. When I was about 12 years old I had the pleasure of handing him one which enraged him beyond measure. Il was during the last days of the civil war. A com pany of soldiers were being recruited and drilled and their camp was a couple of miles from the Stevens farm. One day in early autumn I hap pened to be walking by the Stevens place when a patrol of troops at drill was reconnoitering the “enemy,” and, having accomplished its mission, of course, were hungry. The troopers spotted Stevens’ orchard of fine ap ple trees, laden with ripe fruit. One ot them dismounted, walked over to the fence where I stood watching them A-ith boyish admiration and asked me if 1 would sell him some of the ap ples. Instantly 1 realized there was a chance for me to get even with “old Bill Stevens,” as everybody in the neighborhood called him, and, waving my hand toward the orchard, 1 told them to help themselves, positively refused payment and walked away down the road toward my home. Of course, the soldiers quickly took ad vantage of my generous offer. In the midst of their apple least, however. “Old Billy Fincher,” shotgun in hand and keeping close watch on the col diers* weapons, came threateningly forward and demanded by what right the soldiers had raided his orchard. “Why, your boy told us to help our selves w hen w <• offered to buy the ap pies,” answered one of the soldiers. “What boy?" asked “Old Billy” in a tone of surprise 1 had stopped to lis ten to their talk, but, chuckling with delight I hurried on when the soldiers pointed to mt as the one who had given the invitation. "1 hat hoy?” shrieked “Old Pjncher” "why he has nothing to do with my place. He lives over a mile down the road.” , — ■■■■ o>— Yes mother I paid 25 cents a pound for that p’ cc < f beef at the market in the city turning. It is called I ‘sirloin top butt," and there is no I none in it. It is a tine roasting piece, and 1 presume, at the present price ol live cattle it could not be sold lor much less at retail, bittern years ago that same cut ot beef was retailed lor irom « to 10 cents a pound and the >est cuts ot steak at 1.“ and 15 .cuts a pound, while mutton was con sidered ingh at H cents. One could get is good a chicken as ever graced a .able for a quarter, while iiuit and vegetables were correspondingly cheap, and the farmer was quite as prosperious as he is today because what he had to buy cost much less .han it docs now. What is need'd is more cattle raising farmers, which will reduce the cost of meat and a .-¡gid enforcement of law to curb the iistionest practices of middlemen, and Jiat is sure to come. 1 do not intend ,o be a prophet,, but as 1 look back ,n the last quarter of a century and see the improvements that have been mtr< ducid on the farm. I firmly be lieve that within a few years the farrn- r will be the happiest and most con- .irnted person in the country, and al- .0 the most prosperous. ■ —--.Q - If a young man is invited to his sweetheart's home, Mr. Young Man, with his parents, he would be expect ed to go, but if the invitation for din ner is only for the old folks, he could lot very well go with them. You can say, “1 am glad to meet you,” to the young lady to whom you ,re introduced, but all that is neces- ,ry is to bow and repeat her name, smiling pleasantly meanwhile, as if you felt glad even if you do not iiy it. You shake hands with the man to whom you arc introduced. A young girl of Harvel, III., has had double with her sweetheart because ie asked her to kiss him, and she even “slapped” him when he insisted on kissing her. Now, that was not very lady like, and if you are really sweethearts, and engaged to be mar ried, he had a right to kiss you. If he is only making a record, kissing all the pretty girls of his acquaintance, I should not go out with him. Never, icver should you slap a gentleman, l ou can let him see that you are an- ioyed, in a very diginified way, which will impress him much more that the -illy blow that you gave him. You owe him an apology for that, which you can make in a note, and tell him that your acquaintance is now ended, or words to that effect. "Companion”—You did right not to 40 with the young man when your parents forbid. It is nice of him to say that he will wait for you, but the chances are that he will not do so, so 1 would simply have a good time, without beaux, for the next two years, and, if the young man has proved that he can take care of you, ind come back asking for vour love, and you still love him, why, I should narry him. In the meantime, you would better tell your mother what ie suggests, as it is much better not o have secrets from your mother, privided she is the sort of person .0 be trusted. If she flies into rage ind makes trouble all round, it is bet- er not to risk the harmony of 'watchful waiting” by confiding in her. “Just a girl” says she is fighting the demon of selfishness, and I still liink that 'she should think about others more than herself. There is ae harm, however, in having a sort if inner life in which she can indulge ■ 11 drrams. Do you remember the ines of one of the Cary girls: ‘Sometimes 1 think tile things we see \re shadows.of the things that be. And what we plan we build, And every hope that hath been cross ed, And every dream we thought was lost, In heaven shall be fulfilled.” I also believe that with such beauti ful thoughts you should write, not a book possibly, but something that will make the world happier for yotir laving writing it. You could begin by keeping a diary, and then, when your characters begin to grow and be real ly alive, you have the material for your story. You will enjoy doing it, and, although no magazine or other publication may ever take it, this child of vour imagination will be your own, that nothing can take from you ind I know it will give you more hap piness than "imply sitting down and thinking about it and possibly mop ing in consequence. ------o----- Mary M., Fairfield III.—You can ask vour girl friend to tell the young •nan that his company is agreeable to von, but, if I were in your place, I should wait for him to make the first move. He is quite old enough to know his own mind if he is JI, and I do not think you can gain anything in his opinion by running after him. "Brown Eyes"—From your address I think you are a little country girl and hope you will be content to wait until the young man seeks your ac quaintance. \\ hen you meet and speak why not smile pleasantly and remark about the weather? Fie will know then, that von are an agreeable sort of person, and, if he chooses, can follow up your hint, but I should let him do the rest. "I.awrence" has not a very good opinion of girls. He says that a number of them come to his house continually, in order that lie may <~o home with them or to enjoy his so ciety. "It makes a fellow tired," he writes “the way these girls lay tor me.” I suppose lie means bv that that the girls flirt with him and want to mar rv him. Poor Lawrence. I am afraid that von arc in for it. Did veil not know that when a woman will, she will, and all the «ill power of a man amounts to nothing if she makes lip her mind to marry him? However, there is safetv in numbers, it seems as far as you are concerned, an I i on cannot marry all the friends of your sister. If you continue to be rude to the girls they will make your life miserable Be nice to first one girl and then the other and nuke them all jealous of one another. Is there any possibility ot your really caring for one of them? 1 should not deprive my self of the pleasures of having a swithiait just because I thought .ery girl who speaks to me wants 10 marry me. If any of the girls read this 1 hope they will let Lawrence kno« that lie is sometimes mistaken. Director ol Farm Markets. Th.- day of the rial estate faker, or 1 "land shark," has passed in Idaho, if arc to judge law put cn the statute ■ .>l:s of that -tate bv the last session if the legislature. Flic lav. in question rcatrs the office of "director cf farm markets," and in defining the powers of this new state official it in In,I s the following diiti'-s: “To co-operate with producer and consumers in devising and maintain ing economical and efficient systems of distribution, and to aid in what ever wav may be consistent or neces sary in accomplishing the reduction of waste and expense incidental to marketing. ‘To help improve country life and to provide, as far as is in his power, equality of opportunity for the farm ers of the state. “To ascertain, as far as possible, what conditions make for the success of the homeseeker, and what condi tions make for his failure, and to use ill means within his power to remedy such of the conditions which make for failure as are capable of remedy. "Upon request, or of his own mo- tion, to investigate and obtain evi- dcnce in any case where he has reas- on to believe that fraud has been practiced upon or wrong done to a homeseeker in the sale or transfer of real estate sought for the establish ment of a farm home, and shall, where criminal fraud has been prac ticed upon, or wrong done to a home seekers against inaccurate or mislead ing statements contained in any liter- ilure sent out by promoters or others “To receive applications for farm help, and applications from laborers desiring positions on farms, endeav oring thereby to bring the job and the man together, without expense to the employe or the employer. “To receive from owners descrip- •ions of farm property for sale and maintain a properly classified list of such properly for the inspection of prospective buyers." From these experts it will be seen hat it is planned to not only render state assistance in the marketing of farm crops, but in the marketing of farm lands as well. This is the first law of its kind put onto the statute books in any state, and its procedure •vill tin r- fore be watched with in terest in all sections of the country. Idaho, the same as all other states in the "irrigated Wes(,” has in a number of instances been a victim of the unscrupulous promoters and land »peculators, who, through beguiling literature, inveigled honest home seekers into investing their all and settling either on unworthy projects or uncompleted irrigation systems, or who,, by misrepresentation and false promises of immediate profits, brought onto the land settlers who were financially unprepared to with stand the trials of the pioneer. As Idaho's first director of farm markets, Gov, Alexander has selected W. G. Scholtz, the man who pre pared the measure creating the de partment, and through whose efforts die bill became a law. Following the appointment, announcement was made at the governor’s office that Mr. Scholtz was selected because of 'hi- strong indorsements he had re ceived from the farmers in all sec tions of the state; the co-operative marketing associations and other or ganizations of farmers having strong- ly urged the governor to get Mr. Scholtz to organize the department and conduct the office during the first two years. As editor of the leading farm paper in the state he has led the fight igainst dishonest and misleading pro motion literature, being a firm believ er in the theory that it pays as a mat ter of business for a state to insist hat promoters be honest towards prospective immigrants. Mr. Scholtz knows from personal experience the problems of the new settler, having come from the East a few years ago and worked out his salvation in the sagebrush, on an ir rigated farm in the Snake River Val ley of Southern Idaho.—The Farm ing business.

For information of the public I would say that the "Light House trail” over the mountains is open ior foot and horse passengers, but some of the bridges arc old and not safe. Next Sunday a number of public spirited “boys” will cut out ways around said bridges, so that horsemen can go around and not over same. The meeting place will be Olesot's restaurant, and the hour 6 a.m. Those that cannot get there at that hour can come on later, as the road is open and the "hiking” good. Mr. Elmer Hoag will take some of the tools in his buggy around ot the west end of the trail, but it would be well for those coming to bring with them a shovel or grubbing hoe or brush hook if they have such handy. One or two will be all that is needed of each kind. The distance >vcr the trail to the several points is as follows; to the summit about 4 miles; to the begin ning of the trail about 2 miles, the length of the trail over the mountain from the slaughter house to the county road at the Maxwell place about 4)i miles; from the end of the trail along county road to the light house about j miles. Total distance from center of town to lighthouse about miles. From countv.road to lighthouse x/i mile, from lighthouse to Bayocean, miles. From Tilla mook to Bayocean 12 miles. From Tillamook over lighthouse trail to “Happy Camp” on Netarts Bay, 9 miles. Respectfully, John Leland Henderson. Holdup Charged to Girl.
