INTEREST IN TIE WHEAT PROBLEM
Four Gents a Bushel aud What Could

Four Gents a Bushel and What Could
BE Done With II.
The Tekoa Times farther discusses an
interesting problem
The Spokesman-Review has thought
fully figured out that wheat is selling
in this state for four cents less than the
Liverpool parity. Taking into considera-
ton the freight rates to Puget sound.
plus the shipping charge to Liverpool
and all other expenses, the price here is
four cents less than the price paid for the
grain in Liverpool.
Farmers, here's food for thought for
you. During the long winter evenings
that are fast approaching take your pen
Gil and paper and figure out how many dol
lars that means to the shippers of this
state and Oregon. And, while you are
about it. don't fail to tell your wife df
you have one) that if you had that four
cents a bushel with which these same
shippers are filling their purses, you could
easily pay off the mortgage in due time
For example: Mr.. Willard and Mr. Jane
son, two of our largest farmers, raised
this year 10000 bushels of grain each. See
what this four cents on the bushel would
mean to them. Eight hundred dollars
would go long ways toward meeting
obligations that must be met by all who
farm extensively. Likewise with the
smaller farmer. he sends his little mite
to enhance the size of the shippers bank
account Then the excessive freight rate
from eastern Washington to the sound
might as well be figured in on the loss
side of the balance sheet, and you have
another four-cent-a-bushel that goes
to swell the credit side of-no, not the
Palouse farmers-the other fellows.

THE MONEY OF THE TAXPAYERS
An oregon Auditor Speaks of Court Ex-
DenSeS.

An oregon Auditor Speaks of Court Ex-
pepSeS.
Auditor Pope said to an Oregonian re-
porter in speaking of what becomes of
the money of the taxpayers: "Why, a
couple of women had a row about a
hen, and it cost the county $75. That
is about what the bills of the justice
court in the case sent here for collec-
ton amount to. There is considerable
of this sort of thing every month, and
quite story might be made up, If it
was put all together. If man is ar
rested for burglary. the Justice will
make four or five cases out of it. For
instance, burglary, larceny in a dwell
ing, larceny, having stolen goods in his
possession, and so on. The grand jury
will throw out all Of the cases but one,
and indict the man only for burglary,
which is, of course, the only crime he
has committed. Bills will be sent in
against the county in all Of the other
cases. This Is a sample of the way it is
operated. The way to put a stop to
a great deal of this would be to take
the jurisdiction in criminal cases away
from justices altogether in Portland,
and have all criminal cases examined
into or tried in the municipal court"

TRICKS PLAYED BY VARIOUS PLANT
rtful Devices of the Caienduia-The
Cow Nheat's Joke.

irtful Devices of the Caienduia-The
Cow MEATS Joke.
DR.. Lundstrom has recently described
some cases of alleged plant mimicry,
says London Public Opinion. The cul-
tivated plant known as calenula may.
in different conditions, produce at least
three different kinds of fruit. Some
have sails and are suited for trans
portation by the wind, while others
have hooks and catch hold of passing
animals, but the third kind exhibits a
more desperate dodge, for it becomes
like a caterpillar! Not that the fruit
knows anything about it, but If 1t be
sufficiently like a caterpillar, bird may
eat 1t by mistake, the indigestible seeds
will be subsequently dropped and so the
trick succeeds.
The next case Is more marvellous.
There is very graceful wild plant, with
beautiful delicate flowers, known to
many as the cow wheat. Ants are fond
Of visiting the cow wheat to feast on
sweet banquet spread out upon the
leaves. DR.. Lundstrom has observed
one of these ants and was surprised to
see it making off with one of the seeds
from an open fruit. The ant took the
seed home with 1t. On exploring some
ant nests the explorer soon saw that
this was not the first COW wheat seed
which had been similarly treated.
Many seeds were found in the ant
nurseries. The ants did not eat them
or destroy them; in fact, when the nest
was disturbed the ants saved the seeds
along with their brood, for in size, form,
color and weight, even in minute par
ticulars, the seeds in question resemble
ant cocoons. Once placed among the
cocoons it requires better than an ant
to distinguish the tares from the wheat.
In the excitement of fitting, when the
nest is disturbed, the mistake is repeat
ed and the seeds are also saved. The
trick is found out some day, for the
seeds, like the cocoons, awake out of
sleep. The awakening displays the
fraud. The seeds are thus supposed to
be scattered; they terminate and seem
to thrive in the ant nests.

New York Tribune.

SIDE, perfectly straight" went on the
shoemaker. "All feet that have never
been confined in shoes have that
straight outline, showing that to be the
natural formation of the foot. All shoes
should be made straight on the inside
and full on the outer edge to allow
room for the muscles to play. Can YOU
move the muscles of your toe?" he
added, looking at young woman who
was being measured for evening slip
pers.
why, yes" she replied, proceeding
to move them.
Yes, In that way you cam" admit
tea the counsellor, but you can not
move your toes individually with the
ease and freedom with which you move
your fingers. Few people can who wear
SHOES. l venture to assert that you
nave no control over your small toe at
all, that 1t is as dormant as IL 1t had
no muscles and was simply a part of
the main foot. All that comes from
wearing improperly fitting shoes.

for good many people ride with the
shank of the boot-that Is, the part i'm

the foot should press on the pedal; that
Is where the muscular power lies."
Are people generally, women in par
ucular, getting more sensible in the
matter of shoes-insisting more on a
perfect fit? asked a customer
well, l should say that women were
not so much insisting on a sensible fit
as allowing themselves to be fitted The
majority of women think very little
about 1t. They order fashionable shoe
and they take whatever we make for
them. If the shoe or boot is for walking
we never put on a high heel unless 1t
Is ordered expressly. OF course, for
carriage wear, house wear, evening
wear, the Louis Quinze heel is all the
go-although do not advocate women
moving about all day in the house, for
instance, with their feet at an angle
those heels enforce Whether woman
is walking on the street or walking in
the house, her foot should be properly
poised. The low heel and pointed toe,
even an extremely pointed toe, are to
be preferred to the broad toe and high
heel which prevailed a dozen years or
so ago."
And about the piccadilly toes--are
they vanishing?'
"A rounder toe, neither pointed nor
square, Is what we are making now for
walking boots, but slippers still termin-
ate in a sharp point, perhaps not as
exaggerated as last season."

sase Of Population Ahead of
Increase of Beef Cattle.
ETHE MARKET WILL BE GOOD
Experienced Growers Give Some Hints
1or the Cultivation of Strawber-
res and Other Fruits.

Cattle-raising in the United States
Should always be profitable in the fu-
Hture, although, as with other things,
Mprices will fluctuate, says the Prairie
zlFarmer. In the immediate future it Is
&certain to be profitable. Several rea-
Sons may be assigned in support of this
view. First. the capacity of the ranges
ito produce can not be greatly increased,
rs they are now carrying about all the
animals that the pastures grown upon
$them will properly maintain, and range
pastures can not easily be improved as
Hthose can which are located In arabic
Esections. Second, during recent years
There has been a decline in the number
2of the really good meat-producing ami
amalS grown outside of the ranges.
NThese have been supplanted by animals
Kept for dairy uses. When the breed
ing stocks are thus reduced they can
mot be quickly increased again, as is the
&case with swine and also with sheep.
And third, it is at least questionable If
Athe increase of beef cattle in this coun-
try Is keeping pace with the increase of
THE population. The home market may
.be expected to increase, therefore, until
Aa time will come when it will probably
absorb all which is grown to beef.
But yet it should be borne in mind
That at certain seasons of the year cat
vile may fetch a low price. When the
bulk of the range cattle reach the mar
Iket prices can not be dear. But cattle
FINISHED on the range can never COM
pete with those finished in the yard or
stall at certain seasons of the year.
more especially those of late winter and
IL nTa he, DC,
which good, well-finished cattle, such
as are demnominated prime and extra
prime, should bring good prices in all
the future, as the home demand for this
class of beef will continually increase
with the increase of the population.
SThe farmer, therefore, who turns his
attention to cattle-raising should look
well to the character of the breeding
of the same. He should aim at the pro-
auction of prime animals, and the
prices will not be disappointing.

tmple and Reliab e Rules for Keen ue

The following rules for keeping fruit

Y4tor: First, keep the temperature
within a few degrees of the freezing

pQssible, as an occasional warm draught

Some additional observations may

neads Under the first rule 1t would be
IMPORTANT to secure fruit room where
the temperature can be completely con-
ffolled by windows, and one or more

inc second rule, examine the place daily

INSTANCES OF MODERN HuMoa
A Bad Omen for It-Lsmh and Dickens
Furnish xampIes.

A Bad Omen for It-Lamh and Dick ems
Furnish Examples.
The bad omen for modern humor is
that the minds of so many humorists
seem in a state of habitual flux and
hardly able to distinguish between their
grasp Of the feeling they want to sur
prise by contrast, and their grasp of
feeling with which they want to con-
trast 1t, says the Spectator. When
Charles Lamb, with his usual stammer.
answered the dense farmer who asked
him how the turnips were likely to
yield, that he supposed that would de-
pend on the boiled legs of mutton, he
realized at least as keenly the stiff clay
OF that eastern counties mind, as he
did the hop, skip and jump by which
he passed from 1t to his own frivolous
anticipation of the dish with which he
was most accustomed to relish turnips.
But the modern hurlesques which fill
their verse with execrable puns show
no mastery either of the gro tesquely
limited minds they want to strike
spark out of or of their own i'm pa tience
with those minds. Instead Of lie slight
shock which true hunior should always
give, the common, modern lumorist
only confuses you with a tumble of
ideas from which no distinct sense of
incongruity, nothing but a Sc of in
coherency energies. Now, nero bewild-
erment browns humor. Humor responds
only to sharp sense of contrast, a sud-
den effervescence between tie alkali
of habitual association and the keen
acid of the humorist's happy caprice.
When Dickens makes Mr.. Weller. Sr..
describe his second wife's death in
terms of his usual coachman's meta
phor, "Arter that, though we put on
the brake all we could, she went down
hill very fast, and paid the last spike at
a quarter past g." we hardly know
which surprises most, the conventional
ity of the old coachman's professional
phraseology, or the inconceivable in
adequacy Of its terms to the meaning
he desired to express. The humorist
should have the strongest possible
grasp Of the. strict limitations of the
minds he is playing upon, as we'll as of
the surprise he intends to give them,
1t is usually the former which fails;
while it Is just the former which gives
all the keenness to the latter.

His Idea of Distance.

A windham county Comm man, who
rounded out rs years of his life without
ever going more than 20 miles from his
birthplace, was one day answering the
questions of distinguished western visi-
tor, who had come on to the old town
from far beyond the Mississippi valley to
learn OF the childhood of his father and
mother, who were born in Windham coun-
ty. The old native gave the westerner
just the details the latter was seeking.
And l suppose you have always lived
around here" said the man from beyond
the Mississippi.
"Oh, no." replied the native 81 was born
two miles from here."-Philadelphia Rec
