.'Doin Their own Stretchin'. ,

After being without girl for a week,
the mistress of Woodbury. home was
showing an applicant over the house. She
had been liberal in her promises of privil-
eges in the way of afternoons and nights
off. She had even gone so far as to extend
the hour of the girls return on these
nights, and to agree to her using the sew
ing machine after her work was done.
The new girl seemed pleased, and the
mistress was beginning to hope. They
walked back into the dining room, and the
girl had actually removed one pin from her
hat. Then her smile faded, and question
mark appeared.
s'Do you do your own stetchjn'9" she
demanded
''Do we do our own wbat?n asked the
puzzled mistress
'stretchin', repeated the new girl.

''Stetchin',1 . repeated the girl third

table at mealtime and stretch for it, or do
| have to shuttle it around?'
The family are "stetchen' y IN earnest
now, and will until they get girl who is
willing to wait on the table as well as cook
the meal. The matron's household vocab-
ulary contains new word.

Best goods in best packages bring best
prices if properly packed
! Probably you have tried it aud the re-
turns we're no better than the other fellows
chat shipped to the same house packing his
culls and slop. You are dealing with the
wrong firm; better quit at once. You get
an average price. Your best goods sells his
poor ones and your neighbor gets the bene-
fit. You have the honor of bringing dol
lars to your neighbor at your own expense.
Can you convince him that it pays to
grade produee2
Not while you let that dealer handle
your produce.
Some of us-maybe all of us-have been
roasted by shipper and dealer, because our
produce does not suit their eye and trade.
We cannot grow the incest goods all the
time, but we can pack even grades, the
same marks all the time In my experience
have found that the same grade Of goods
and mark brings the same buyer again and
again. A satisfied buyer means better
prices, therefore more profit.
How many of you ever had dealer or
shipper make any suggestion as to how
goods would suit his trade better, that you
could follow, OF did you ever have him send
his agent or come himself and give you
practical illustration of what constitutes a
right packing of the produce at hand.
The practice of averaging the prices and
sending each man alike. irrespective of
quality or grading, is the greatest argu-
ment against uniform and honest packing
1t does not pay the packer.
The individual effort at proper packing
nine times out of ten is direct loss to the
man that undertakes it,
The averaging commission man has driv-
ca honest grading out of business.
In this day of combine the farmer and
shipper that packs and grades properly
should join with brother farmers and ship
pers in local unions or exchanges and de-
mand the sale of all produce on its merits,
and just returns for the same, and not an
average with some other fellows goods.
Your average price is explained in this
manner I'VE are wholesalers, or no retail
business done BY this house,
In some parts of the South and West
these unions and exchanges have been the
means of getting better rates from railroads
and better service from dealers, also better
knowledge of the markets, thus avoiding
a loss These all help increase the pro-
fit
Abolish the averaging commission man
and dealer
Pack uniform packages, grade evenly
mark honestly.

posted by Rural Telephone.

Resolutions Of Respect.

At meeting of the vestry of st. Peters
Church, C!arksboro, on the 23rd of Oct.
1904, it was resolved to prepare a minute
expressive of the feelings of the sorrowing

the same be sent to the widow and be
published in THE DEMocGAr and The Con

NIINTTE.

Inasmuch as the Rev Jesse Y Burke
labored as rector of ST. Peters for twenty
six years, it seems fitting that its official
body should mark his passing from the
Church militant to the Church at rest by
placing in their minutes an expression Of
their appreciation of their rector and friend.
He always preached gospel of hopeful
ness, his genial face and cheerful manner
carried suggestion of sunshine with 1t
that frightened the darkest day In him,
too. that love found its place which think
eth no evil. He had a wonderful faculty
for discovering good in Others; he never
found pleasure in discussing others faults
We have met with a great and irreparable
loss, aud yet we are grateful that there is
much Of him that death can never take
from us-much that does not perish with the
perishable body. He leaves behind him
blessed memories which we will delight to
cherish, gracious influence for which we
viii give thanks at every rememberarce o.
him.
good man never dies-his life is an
ever present and permanent good
The deeds he did are immortal; he loved
the Church with its little band of worship
ers with a love that is not born of earth,
he loved it from base to spire and the tones
Of its bell was sweetest music to his ear he
was faithful and true. He surmounted
many difficulties TO always be present,
though often in i'll health he never muir
INJURED. How strange it will seem without
him.
He has gone his Redeemer TO meet
To be with true happiness crowned,
Gathered home as sheaf Of ripe wheat,
To the garner where tares are not found.
He could say with the good man of Old
Lord in peace let thy servant depart,
For mine eyes Thy salvation behold
And freely surrender my heart.

BULLET AND MANS HEAD.
One Nearly Struck the Other Boys
and Target Rifles.

Corvallis boys are over-reckless
with target guns. = As,bullet from a
22 rifle struck a board just above
the head of an Fastener at Sam
Moore's place in the Western part
of town Thursday evening. He
had been looking at a piece of pro-
perty shown by a real estate man.
The bullet buried itself deeply in
the board, showing enough force
to have killed the stranger had it
struck him in the head 1t was not
a good introduction for a man who
was looking for a re. home. The
next shot from the same gun may
kill somebody. Residents Of the
neighborhood say the use of these
guns in the vicinity has made many
cases bordering on a bad accident.
The ping of = bullet as it strikes
somebody's barn or house is not an
infrequent noise in the neighbor.

this will be the outcome of the
practice, if it is not stopped.
