THURSDAY, APRIL 7 1921 PAGE TH SE REX Minor Love Affair That Figured in the Life of Germany’« Moat Famous Man of Letters. G«.ethe, famous man of letters, once loved a pretty little wife of a m'.dd.e- aged merchant Peter Anton Brentano, who sold cheese and herrings. Goethe, always careless of custom and tradition, went often to the Bren tano home. It did not take him long to discover that the lovely Maximili ane was extremely unhappy, and he did what he could to make her smile. He romped with her step-children, and he played a bass viol at family con certs. , Both were younger than Brentano, and both were palpably bored by his merchant friends and their talk of sales and profits. At first Brentano was delighted to have Goethe come to the house. His visits made Maximiliane happy, and that pleased the husband, who had grieved when he saw his wife smile so seldom. But he grew suspi cious. He counseled Maximiliane to see Goethe less often, and there were violent scenes In the house hold. Goethe sided with the young wife, and continued to call frequent ly. Brentano could not conceal his wrath and his flaming Jealousy. He upbraided th?m, and there were “terrible moments.” Goethe finally rushed away in anger from the house, determined never to be em broiled In such quarrels again. He plunged into the writing of “Wer- ther,” and Maximiliane passed out of his life. In Central America are many strange birds with stranger habits, but probably none is more interesting than a little brown wren which may be seen along the roadsides or on fences. This little bird, about the size of a canary, builds a nest out of all pro portion to its apparent heeds. He se lects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches he lays sticks fastened together with tough fiber until a platform about six feet long by two feet wide Is constructed. On the end of this platform nearest the tree trunk he then builds a huge dome-shaped nest a foot or so high, with thick sides of interwoven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the nest to the end of the plat form In as crooked a manner as pos sible. Across the outer end as well as at short Intervals along the inside of this tunnel arc placed cunning little fences of thorns, with just enough space for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the owner by placing thorns across the gateway, and thus the safety of eggs or young Is assured. Use for Fire-Killed Timber. Prejudice exists In certain quarters against the use of timber cut from dead trees, and some purchase speci fications insist that only timber cut from live trees will be acceptable. As a matter of fact when sound dead trees are sawed into lumber and the weath ered or charred outside Is cut away, there Is no method known to the Unit ed States forest products laboratory by which the lumber can be distin guished from that cut from live trees, except that »tie lumber from dead trees may he partly seasoned when sawed. All the Information available at the laboratory indicates that timber cut from Insect or fire-k1lle<l trees is just as good for any structural purpose as that cut from live trees of similar quality, providing the wood has not been subsequently in.ftired by decay or further insect attack.

In the goodness of his heart, however, he was desirous of making the Church of England's morning service less onerous to the faithful. So, while representing the Colonies in England, he proceeded to abridge the Book of Common Prayer! He was as«lsted In the task by an English crony, the once notorious Lord De Spencer. The whole episode reminds us of the day when, as a small boy, he sug gested to his astonished parent that much time and trouble might lie saved tf grace were said over the whole family pork-barrel at once.—Asa Don Dickinson In the New York Times.

THE BOOSTER COLUMN (By Fred C. Baker) Taxation just now is a burning question, as well as vexatious to those who have to pay taxes that are too high and out of proportion, but the taxpayers have some rights and their interests are deserving of more- consideration. To that end the Cham ber of Commerce will strive to act in an advisory capacity, with the hope that some relief may be obtained for the overburdened taxpayer. What is needed is economy in county, city and school district affairs, with the pruning knife used freely to cut off all unnecessary and superfluous ex- pences, as well a demanding an hon- et day’s work from those who work for the public. It is true, however, that the county, city and school dis tricts are loaded down with overhead expences and there are not many placs where a saving can be made, but one thing that should be inshved upon,, and that is not to add auy moF ■ overhead expences, only where it is absolutely necessary That will help some in not increasing taxation an other year. It is p. -bnblv true that Tillamook City has been romewhat aggressive for a number of years past putting on a good many expensive fr Ils. However with the public bodies devoting lit le more ccnsld- eraiion to the question of wis,. ec< n omy from now on, there is every hope thi t taxation will be c in?iderabiy reduced when the next levy is nta^e. This Is absolutely Imperative as fa: as the city is concerned, for the pre sent high taxation is not. for the best interest in the developement of the city. •'The advertising medium of Tillamook county.” i ---- PRESENTS------- With an all star cast including Advertising in tli.e Headlight bring re sults, the sure kind, if there is anything you want to sell or have lost let 11» tell the world about it. 8mok*n9- E MILLE WWi CHANGE YOUR WIFE?
