Davenport is commended by the Oregonian for his defense of Candidate Hughes. Among other things Mr. Davenport says of his client is "What Mr. Hughes says on the stump he will, he will do. The country knows that and the party leaders know it. That isTiis kind of man." Suppose we accept Mr. Hughes at the valuation Mr. Davenport places on him. Mr. Hughes, it is reported, said on the stump that if he was elected "he would wipe all democratic legislation off the statutes." Now if he is the kind of man Mr. Davenport says he is, having so stated "that he will do." In other words he will wipe the rural credit laws oil" the statutes. He will do away with the federal reserve banks. He will do away with the Adamson bill and wipe out the eight hour day. He will abolish the Fursuruth seamen's law that permits sailors to remain human beings. He will put an end to the work of the tarifF commission of businessmen who are examin ing into the tariff from a business standpoint for the pur pose of preparing a tariff system based on business rather than on the demand of public plunderers. He would do away with more actual constructive legislation than the country has had under forty years of republican rule. This Mr. Hughes says he will do, and Mr. Davenport says that what Mr. Hughes says, that he will do. If that is what the voters of the country want, then they can rest assured that it what they will get if they elect Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes says so, and will do it. Mr. Ware, of Los Angeles, is a practical joker. Mrs. Ware is not. Recently following a little quarrel Willie (that is Mr. Ware's prefix) laid down on the floor with: an empty lysol bottle beside him. Mrs. Ware discovered him, and sent in a hurry up call for an ambulance. Ware protested that he was -only fooling her but she was frightened and refused to believe him. He was hurried to the hospital where a stomach pump was used in spite of Willie's resistance. We stated Mr. Ware is a practical joker, but to be exact the "is" should be changed to a "was" for he says, "never again." He says also "it would have been all right if his wife was not deficient in her sense of humor." Is she? u ' There is an old saying that a democratic office holder "seldom dies and never resigns," and yet William II. Hornibrook, democratic editor before being appointed minister to Siam at a $10,000 a year salary, has resigned the job and is on his way home. The call of the news paper is irresistible to the man once bitten with the bug and they one and all have to return to the faithful old paste pot, the reliable shears and the old associates, the exchanges. Oakland officials are worried because the city official seal has merely a horse, a dog and a sailboat on it. It is proposed, now that the city has grown out of the mud flat class, to cut out the whole business and substitute an auto; a train and a steamship. That change should make the Oaklander sleep more peacefully, but if it doesn't, why not use an elephant, a bull moose and the patient hut faithful democratic burro? Mrs. Robert Byron is an impulsive woman and also quick of decision. Just one hour and a half after her husband blacked her eye, her complaint for divorce was signed, sworn to and filed. She did not even stop to powder her optic before hiking for a law factory. . If a man should ask you where he could "get a flop and a splash for a man and half?" what do you think you would tell him. Sam MacGuire, an old actor, was asked that question and at once informed his questioner where he could get a room with a bath for $1.50. Truly, this language of ours is "spectacular." . Only 8,805 Irishmen have enlisted in the English army since the Dublin rebellion. This indicates that the hang ing of Sir Roger Casement was a costly piece of business for the government, besides being a foolish one.

It is pro posed to change the form of prayer for the president so as to not include the words: - "In health and prosperity long to live." It was also proposed to cut out of the mar riage service the words "obey," but this went over for three years during which time the good wives will be ex pected to continue to obey as" before. It is also proposed to add to the petition for the president the words "and the governor of this state," which is all right so far as it goes though it should read for the governors of all the states so the prayer would be that much more extensive, and heaven knows the governors especially need praying for, unless indeed the prayers be put up for the people they govern. . t New England accuses the United States of violating her neutrality by. allowing .her destroyers to stand by while the German submarine sunk English ships on the Atlantic. Just what was expected of our destroyers is hard to understand, for it could hardly be expected they would take part in a sea fight between crafts of warring nations just because they were handy. Did England sup pose they would take a hand in the fight just because they were near enough to do so? Would it have been an evi dence of our strict neutrality to have attacked the Ger man submarine? Someway our English cousins have some peculiar notions as to what constitutes neutrality. Why leather is high is explained by the fact that our exports in this line have more than trebled in the past year or two. In 1914 we exported leather of the value of $57,000,0000, but in the year ending last June we exported some $146,000,000 worth of it and on top of this sent abroad more than twenty million pairs of shoes. Besides the shoes sent the soldiers of Europe the Chinese are dis carding sandals and have taken to wearing shoes, the business in this line increasing more than three times in the past year. A raise in the price of gasoline is due soon. John D. Rockefeller, on leaving Cleveland a day or so ago, gave a little girl five buffalo nickels and five pennies. When the old oil tank realizes what a jolt he, has given his exchequer, the bubble wagons will be called on to come through. If as William Willcox of the republican national com mittee asserts, there "is no eight-hour law"; what was it Uncle Joe Cannon and the seventy republican congress men voted for? Maybe Congressman Hawley can ex plain it. . ""Klamath Falls would like President Sproule to build a railroad for them. They can get the same results much cheaper, by getting a couple of cars instead. Cars with out a railroad are just as good as a railroad without cars. According to the Oregonian Mr. Hughes now has enough states safely tucked awaytto give him nineteen majority. In spite of this Hughes insists on playing the last half of the ninth. He is inclined to be swinish. There is something liable to be doing in North Yakimr. soon. Three wife-beaters are facing trial at the next term of court and there are five women on the jury panel. (pluifRhqinQ! UNRULY I don't like little Albert Clarence, though he's a sprightly lad, because he won't obey his parence, his mother and his dad. This Clarence boy is strangely gifted, he is no person's fool, and divers prizes he has lifted down at the village school. He knows what war or revolution distinguished every king, and when it comes to elocution, he makes the welkin ring. It sends a sort of thrill and shiver all up my spine and neck, when he arises to deliver "The Boy and Burning Deck." In divers ologies excelling, in Greek he cuts much grass, and when it comes to hard word spelling, he cleans up all his class. But when his mother or his father remarks, "Go, hunt the eggs," he seems to think it too much bother to exercise his legs. And when his father or his mother observes, "Go, feed the cat," he says to them, "My little brother is here let him do that." There are no flies on Albert Clarence, his teachers all agree; but kids who don't obey their parence don't make a hit with me. MOOTJL TRACTOR AT WORK We understand that the Mogul tractor purchased by Williams Bros, last week is doing the work intended for it, ant' which it was claimed it would do, ud giving the very best of satisfaction. Although the ground is quite dry for plowing, this machine yanks two 14-inch plow-s along with apparent wise. And in regard to the depth of the furrow, Sam says he is turning up plenty of dirt that never saw daylight before. If this can be doue during the present KIDS Iry weather, what will be the result tin ier more favorable conditions f A discovery has also been made which gives promise of making a material re duction in the cost of operating the out fit. By way of experiment Messrs. WU-' lianis placed four gallons of what is kuown as stove oil in the tank, and it was found that it worked just as well as the more expensive fuel; the power was apparently just as great. This pro duct can be purchased for about six cents per gallon, which will render the Mogul method ot doimr work a verv I reasonable one, Donald Record, ft"!

Rirh- arusnn. the retiring officers aubuitited reports showing that the past year has been one of the greutest in the activi ties of the society. Muishfield Herald: The l'ort of Ump qua has received its money for the bond issue of :JO0,UOO, obtaining in all $193, 411.12. The money was deposited to the port's credit on the 23rd of September, and the Keeler Bros,, purchasers, for warded a letter of explanation to .Sec retary J. 1 Christie, which Port At torney C. li. Peck received this morning. Mr. l'eck 's trip to Denver saved the port about 2,500, as the Keeler Bros, had decided to reduce their agreed price $l),U0O. The reduction was to be made on account of $1,0011,000, a large amount of property being takea from the assess ed valuation "of the port through the forfeited timber areas. Another fault was the Bingham tax law. Eastern title men of national reputation passed on the proceedings for the Keeler and the examinations had been slow. Hood River: Hedges of loganberries may in future years form the borders of a great many Hood River orchards. A caiupnifgn for a large acreage of the fruit has been started by the Apple Growers' association and the Hood Riv er Apple Vinegar company. Hedges of well-kept vines will be attractive and will net a good income, according to the statement of prominent horticulturists. According to plans, the greatest acreage of loganberries will be planted in the higher altitudes of the upper valley, where strawberries mature too late aiid where conditions are unfavoiable to the onily maturity of apples. Portland, Ore.: In spite of the. hurry up action taken by State Game War den Carl D. Shoemaker in ordering the Ch inese pheasant season closed October 15, two weeks earlier than usual, it is feared today that 75 per cent of the birds will be killed before that date. The number of pheasants in the state now is less than 40 per cent of the num ber a yeur ago, it is estimated. Polk County Observer: "Doc" Den nett, out Rickrcnll way, is still picking from his five-eighths of an acre patch of tomatoes. He began several weeks before other growers and probably will continuo some time after others are through. So far he has garnered $200 from his patch. "Doc" took first and second for tomatoes at tho recent coun ty fair. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears ears the Signature 1"lHsT MR. FRANKLYN CHAPTER I.II. I "Don't dance at all unless you waut to. Mrs. Hammond, ' Burton sairt as they turned away, "and if you would like to go home do not hesitate to say so. I'll take you, then come back for Muriel" "No, than you! I love to dance, and hope you will ask me for the very next dance," a sudden thought making my pulses beat. "And I surely do not want to go home." I realized his motive, and liked him better than ever because of his thought for me. But at the same time I made up my mind to be game, not to show the white feather. A fa vorite expression of father's. Clifford liked women of poise, of character, so he had ofteu remarked. I would show him that I was not entirely lacking in these essentials. He, of course, would not be surprised to see me, as he had been horns to dress and so knew that I was somewhere in the res taurant. I would try the plan which had occurred to me, then be guided by what he said and did. After I had made this decision I turned to Burtou, who was plainly. dis tressed, and chatted gaily until Muriel and Leonard came back. Have yon gazed your fill at the in comparable couplet" Leonard asked, as they seated themselves. "Yes I guess so!" I stammered as I realize! that not once had I eves 4 The Nation's Favorite otter Nut There Is NATIVE OREGON WILL MEET CALIFORNIA'S NATIVE SONS Eighteen Pine Athletes Who Average 180 Stripped Leave Wednesday lor Battlefield of Borkeley University of Oregon, Eugene, Oct.

STILL MAKING ROADS Chas. Hartmnn was in from Scotts Mills Tuesday night. Charles is road supervisor in his district and has done some excellent w'ork in road building. Ho tells -us thnt they have $1,100 to spend on the road from the Pine Tree four-corners to Scotts Mills and that the work will be started thin week. Silver ton Appeal; HIE OFFERS TO TAKE MILDRED HOME glanced toward the dnucers who had so captivated me- I had been so occupied with my thoughts, so intent on putting Burton at his ease after his kind thought for me, that I had absolutely forgotten them. "You're not very enthusiastic!" he retorted, looking keenly ot me. Clifford Joins the Dances. Again the music struck up, this time a two-step. I aw Clifford rise, and bend toward the gypsy-like woman at the table. She flashed him a dazzling smile, then with a nod rose and laid her nana on nis arm. i watcnea tuem lor a moment. How beautifully she danced; almost as well as the professional. Oh, why "Shall we try this dance?" Leonard Brooke asked, looking curiously at me. I wondered if Muriel had told him of Clifford's presence. I rather hoped she had, as it might save explanations. "t promised this one to Burton," I replied, then cast an appealing glance toward him. I had decided to speak to Clifford, to force an issue, and it would be easier with Burton than with Leon ard Brooke. "Yes, this is my dance!" Burton quickly responded taking the cue, "Mrs. Hammond has been gracious enough to give it to me, though I don 't dance as well as you do." As we danced I saw Clifford and the woman in the flume-colored dress at ev No Better EDUCATION IS MUCH SOUGHT State Seems to Have received Intellec tual Stimulus This Year University of Oregon, Kugene, Oct. IS. An intellectual stimulus that stHta university observers so fur have noi accounted for appears to have como to : Oregon this fall. Here are a few nf tha manifestations of it : Xenrlv 1OU0 persons have appeared for university extension classes in Portland. Residence enrollment in liber I nl ai ts at Kugene will be nearly 1100 1 for the yeur. Registration in the cor resepondence study department is nL'8. ' Attendance a the summer school was .'114. Other departments show similar growth. For example, 4479 teachers of , Oregon have this year done their read ling circle work with the university. I The Portland increase is about 7S per cent; the liberal arts residence in crease is about 13 per cent; the corres pondence study increase Is 19 per cent; the summer school increase was 70 per cent. This grow th has come in a period when increases were not to ie expectea. When a member of the extension fac ulty made a trip on institute work to Ilnrnev county this month, a majority i of the teachers were found to be inter ested in correspondence study. The attendance totals for all -Oregon, institutions of higher education givo this state a high place in percentage of population that goes beyond the high school. POOR SEED, POOR POLICY Many dealers in Oregon potatoes de clare that Willamette valley potatoes as a rule are poor quality, due to the poor seed used anil to the practice of plant ing late in the season. In this immedi ate vicinity, however, the quality is bet ter than usual. Dealers disapprove tha practice of planting small potatoes for seed, and assert that the right thing to d is to select the good-sized, clean po tatoes from well filled hills at digging time and use them for the next season's seed. It has been demonstrated time" and again that carefully selected seed is the chief requisite to a good crop, yet potato growers in general do not seem to learn the lesson, and the ninny of tha potato fields of the valley are full ot diseased tubers or very ordinary quality. Another mistaken idea, according to po tato buyers, is that potatoes will make a better growth if planted lntc. Early planted potatoes have time to matura and keep better than late planted ones. The best potatoes are those that mature before the frost, and the heavy fall rains come on, though they should not be dug until a rain or two has cooled off the tubers, and put the cround in tha best condition for digging. Aurora Ob server. Every man has his price, and soma I even buy their ancestors. nr. ery turn we made. To my intense sur prise and a bit to my chagrin, he seem ed not to see me. To have eyes for iiona but his black-haired partner, s An Impulsive Oct. Then one of my impulsive moods seized me. I would enjoy the dance, then compel Clifford to recognize me. I knew I looked well, that I was perfect ly gowned. And while perhaps rhad not quite the poise, the blase manner of his two women friends, I was yonng, so could not be expected to rival" them U that particular. So I laughed and chatted with Burtoa as if I hadn't a care in the world- Ha evidently approved, forlie said: "That's right, Mrs. Hammond, enjoy yourself." Then. "You're a littls brick!" and without giving me time to reply, or notice his remark, he called my attention to someone he knew. . His very evident sympathy, tha' hearty way he had spoken" gave me four age. And really I did enjoy the re mainder of the dance aad the encore. When at last the music stopped wa were staading close to the table where Clifford and his partner had just seated themselves. Without saving a word t guided Burton in that direction. Whem we reached Clifford's side, his start ot surprise appeared genuine, but it had aa effect upon me, I did not hesitate. (Tomorrow Introductions.) V
