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.

Cousin Tom—I was greatly amused |
today while listening to your weather I

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.

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.
