TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, FEBRUARY 25, 1916. Uncle Silas Says. Uncle Bill, Bobby Jenkins rode to town with me today, instead of using his father’s auto. 1 presume he want ed to sa^e gasoline, and really, at present prices, that was quite an item, as he brought back half a wagon load of things that his father had bought yesterday, and, knowing that I would go to town today, probably planned a free transportation stunt on me. Well 1 left the auto in front of the court house, and when 1 returned for it a couple of hours later I found Bobby and a number of court house clerks near the machine very earnestly and learnedly discussing complex prob lems of law. Bobby did more talking than all the others, and when we were on the way home he voluntarily ex plained to me that he was endeavor ing to teach those future legal lights some of the funramental principles of law, of which they seeemd to be utterly ignorant. This is about the way he threw legal wisdom to them in chunks: “Improper evidence is not always naughty. A copy is not always the best evidence, except in counter feiting cases. The findings of law do not necessarily mean that the judge is lucky. A nonsuit does not come with in tbe jurisdiction of the society tor the prevention of vice. A notice to produce is not confined to highway robbery cases. A bill of particulars is not a restaurant list of different kinds of food served to customers. I'rima facie evidence must not be confuse:! with pictures of criminals in a rogue’s gallery. It does not require an artist to draw' a check, although it may take one to get it cashed. A note is a promise to pay at a fixed time. That is why men who sign notes are said to be in a fix. Stays do not improve a lawsuit very much. A draft is some thing that gives you a pain in the neck, especially if it is for money. The absence from a murder trial of the defendant himself is sufficient ground for postponement. A man who suffers the death penalty is thereby disquali fied as a voter.” What, Bill, you say that will be sufficient by way of illus tration—that you are already suffer ing from mental vertigo? Well as too much knowledge, as well as too little is always dangerous, I realize your peril while wondering in the maze' of this legal labayrinth. Cousin Clara—You say that George is planning to go into the poultry bu siness in the back yard of your home and he has figured out big profits from a couple of dozen hens and it won’t interfere with his regular office work. Now, 1 am afraid that he hasn’t counted all the cost in his figuring, nor the inevitable losses cither, and I can positively assure you that if he goes into the business, wholly inex perienced as he is, he will not succeed If he can get any pleasure out of fig uring out big profits, don’t deprive him of it; but you will do well to heed my advice to steer him off on some other scheme before he gets to the poultry business in earnest. Building air castles is a harmless occupation and often gives the builder a great deal of pleasure. It is in line with the old doctrine that anticipation gives more pleasure than does realization. I personally know of several failures in the poultry business by city people in the back yards of their homes. One in particular who ought to have known better, as he had known of several failures, but somebody started him to figuring and he conceived the idea that he could not only make a good living, but have lots of healthy exercise and pleasure in conducting a chicken farm in his back yard. He bought an incubator and four dozen strictly fresh eggs, placed them care fully on the trays and started the oil lamps that was to heat the incubator. He waited the coming the end of the third week with a good deal of inter est, expecting to see a brood of 48 chicks break out of their shells. The three weeks expired and he waited another week, but not an egg shell was broken. He took the eggs to the house and broke them, with the result that a large quantity of chloride of lime had to be sprinkled about the kitchen to counteract offensive od or. Three times he tried the incubator with varying results, none of them at all satisfactory, only the unhatchcd eggs were carefully buried in the gar den. Then he gave up the business in disgust and tried to sell the incubator to a farmer acquaintance at one-tenth its cost. He kept it two years in his cellar, when one day a buyer of old papers charged him a quarter of a dollar to take the thing away. In tell ing me of his experience recently he said: "Twelve dozen eggs at $1.50 a dozen and not a dozen chicks proved one of two things, cither the incuba tor was no good or I did not know how to handle it. I love to eat young chicken fried in butter or broiled, and what I have I buy in the market. No more chicken raising for me.” His story reminded me of a promising looking lad who applied at a livery stable for a job and was taken on at once. His first task was to grease the wheels of a carriage, and in a surpris ingly short time he reported to the boss that he had finished the job. “What!” exclaimed the m?n, "d’ye mean to say you’ve greased all four of them wheels already?” “Well” replied the new hand, "that’s not to say all o’ them. I've greased the two front ones” "But why haven’t you greased | the rear ones as well?” "Seems to me’ came the calm reply "that as long as 1 the front ones goes all right the ones I behind is sure to follow.” There you I have a fair illustration of the differ j ence between practice and theory. i Tell it to George. I | Cousin Tom—I was greatly amused | today while listening to your weather I talk with Eph, my colored orchard- rtftn. He was born and reared on a Leut^ana plantation and, like all ■qlbt. d people of the South, is a firm | believer in all sorts of hocus-pocus, Prohibits Carrying Films on Passen ger Cars. As a further step to safeguard the life of passengers from accident, Western railroads on the first of Feb ruary, will prohibit the carrying of motion picture films in passenger cars, l he celluloid of which the films are made is a highly combustable sub stance, and the fear that a chance contact with fire might end in disas ter. This action followed that already taken by railroads of the country lo cated in the East and middle West. A passenger on a surburban train run ning out of Chicago recently carried into the combination baggage and smoking car four reels of motion picture films and placed them on the floor between the seats. In some way, presumably by a lighted match dropped by a smoker, the films were set off and an explosion occurred in which 38 persons were badly burned, tw’o fatally. As a result railroads are no longer willing to submit their cus tomers to such a hazard. When films are sent by express, they can be inspected when received for shipment, and carried in the safe manner laid down by the packing rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This ruling has been recommended by the American Railway Association the Bureau for Safe Transportation of Explosives. Notice to Contractors.

Notice of Hearing on Petition Form Drainage District. more the result of his fear that it will be than any thing else. 1 u-ve become quite used to his doleful prediction about this time every winter that there will be no fruit raised worth mentioning the coming season, and it never turn out that way. When 1 was a small boy my grandfather came to visit us on the farm in Illinois from his home in New Jersey, and during the stay with us talked more about the weather than any thing else. It was a very cool, disagreeable summer and the unseasonable weather remain ed him of that of the summer of 1816. He called it the summerless year and told of the experiences of his mother and uncle. His mother owned a fine farm in New Jersey and her brother, Isaac, had generad management of it and raised as large crops as any other farmer in all that region of country. The year 1815 was more than unus ually fruitful and their large barn and cellar was filled with grain, vegeta bles and fruit. When the 1816 spring opened, the usual activities on the farm were resumed. The corn and po tatoes were planted, but the ground was frozen after a killing frost. Vege tables in the garden scarcely began to grow before the frost killed them. The fruit trees budded, but the blos soms only half developed before they died, and when harvest time came there was no grain to harvest. When the fall passed into winter it marked the close of a year without a summer, and Uncle Isaac had no crops that matured. I presume that somebody has told Eph about the summerless year of a century ago, and because it was preceeded by a summer of won derful crops like those of last year he reasons that nature became unbalanc ed thereby and will swing to the other extreme this year to regain its equil ibrium. Don’t lose any sleep, Tom, over that woozy proposition, because it won’t turn out that way. When Eph is broiling in the sun next summer just remind him of his prediction anil suggest that he build a fire if he is not warm enough. i I'se Good Judgment in Buying' Hardware and Sporting Goods Ammunition, Quick Meal Ranges, Building Material, Wall Paper, Du Pont Blasting Supplies.
