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.
Bar Franklin. Reformer.
Like many of us today. Franklin
was no churchgoer. but firmly be
lieved In the (iesirnblllty of other peo
ple’s attendance at public worship.
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.

From the present Indications the
fruit industry of the state is going
to be placed on a better business ba
sis, since it is proposed to form a
large organization composed of the
states of Oregon and Washington,
with plenty of financial backing
This may help to solve the fruit can
ning difficulties of this couney, that
is if thfc organization takes in new
territory and errects new canning
plants. It would be wise for the fruit
growers of the county to get in touch
with the organization.
