"Stop my Paper, Editor!"

Only two citizens of this coun-
ty have applied to the News in
person with the above request
since the present management
has had charge. In complying
with this request, 1t Is a tact
perhaps not generally known
by all, that in this particular
instance the editor has as much
curiosity as a woman; l. E. be
sets his head then and there TO
ind the complaint if AIRY there
be. This is done, first, that the Err
ror possibly detected by one sub
scriber may be the means OF our
enlightenment in order that one
of alike nature and tastes may
not become dissatisfied through
the same inability to please. AS
tor the piqued curiosity that is
50 engaging about the transac-
ton we have no other answer
than lust because" the ready
answer that is usually res orted
to by the woman.
Now while we do not imply
that 4 greater numbe than this
have not had cause for com
plant, il is nevertheless fact
that some people "fall out
with their paper on very frivo-
lous excuses. For instance, one
of these gentleman said, each
word having to be drawn out as
with a dentists forceps that be
had a peighoor who did not
take d single paper and that as
soon as he-the subscriber-had
read his papers that neighbor was
always on hand to clean up the
budget of news, not even leav-
ng scrap large enough to tie
up a Plains cOrn-Cob. Now it is
quite evident that this subscrib-
er is one of the best of men and
was only doing what he thought
WAS TO be right in order to
teach his neighbor lesson and
eventually induce him to sub.
scribe for the local paper. And
then, on the contrary, he may
be one of these peculiarly con-
structed beings that actually
cxults in human misery and was
willing to deprive himself of a
luxury in order to SEGA fellow
being in a like predicament. In
either case our heart is with the
fellow for if there is d man on
earth that newspaper man
loathes it is the driveling speci
men Of humanity that will ba-
bitually borrow his neigh boris |

Better Off Than Ever

BY all the tests by which growth is es-
timated, North Yakima made great pro-
gre,s the past year. 1t has witnessed a
large increase in population and in ev-
cry line. OF trade and industry there has
been prosperity. The city is better off
than ever before in its history. and. as
its foundations have been well laid, it is
certain to advance steadily and salts
iactolily.
The soil in the valley of which Yakima
i the commercial center@is fabuously
rich. and irrigation is rapidly convert
ing that section into one of the great
garden spots of the northwest. Sage
brush areas are giving way to productive
farms and the valley is becoming as rich
agriculturally as it is delightful in eli,
mate.
Yakima is already in the front rank
as a fruit center and as yet the industry
is only in its infancy. 1t is one of the
few localities where hops are grown to
parts of the state. The herds and nocks
are still an important source OF revenue
and dairying is likely to become an in
du>try as large as it is profitable.
Unlike many other sections of the
state. he valley of the Yakima was not
made productive without hard work.
Settlers did not find a soil ready to yield
bountifully the first year. Preliminary
reclamation was necessary, but the
Yakima people were confident that the
ultimate rewards would be generous. anl
time has demonstrated that they made
no mistake. They have built up one of
the most iiourishing sections OF Wash
ington and we'll deserve all the returns
lhat have been gained.-Spokesman-

WALKING Suits.

There is nothing smarter for walk
ing or travelling suit than black and
white shepherds tartan. 1t does not
show wear or dust. and always looks
trim and neat.
This little suit is made with a fuli
plated skirt that clears the ground by
several inches. 1t is laid in deep
plaits that are stitched down little
way from the waist. 1t is finished at
the bottom with deep hem.
The jacket is a short box coat, with
collar and cuffs OF white broadcloth
strapped with half inch wide bands of
black velvet ribbon.
There are three pockets on the coat
piped around with black velvet, and
the flaps decorated with cloth covered
buttons. The ones which fasten the
coat are very large, and have black
velvet ribbon on them in cross de-
sign. The jaunty air of this costume
is very striking, and it would be use
full suit to any one.

Pale TInts to Have Vooue,

AS one notes carefully the various
new fabrics and modes in spring dis
plays it becomes a noticeable fact that
the all-white fad is being pressed hard
for first place by the beautiful pale
tints now so artistically presented in
dainty stuffs for miladi's inspection.
In the new transparent cottons. in the
pineapple cloths and the very fine ba-
tiste and linens the delicate pinks and
blues. greens and lavenders are most
daintily wrought or printed, and while
of course the all-white gown will be a
favorite in the summer girls ward
robe, it will not monopoliZe her fancy
as it did last summer.

Pepsin in Cheese-Makinq.

From experiments made at the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton at Geneva, with pepsin in cheese
making, one conclusion drawn is that
1t is the pepsin contained in the ren,
net that causes the changes noticed in
the ripening process. Prof. Dean of
the Ontario Agricultural College Dairy
School says that if this be true, it has
been suggested that pure pepsin be
used instead of rennet for coagulating
milk in the making of cheddar cheese.
A sample lot of pepsin was got from
Chicago and some cheese have been
made at the Guelph Dairy School.
While the coagulation did not appear
to be normal, as with rennet, the curds
after dipping seemed very nice. Prof.
Dean says it will be some time before
the cheese can be reported on.

easy it is to mix nouns with adjec-
tives and adverbs as you hunt for
words.
Then as you grow a page or more

see, hear, read and think you will find
that formerly you have been ridicul-
ing the sources of the things which
you most admire. This plan is worthy

Form for Building Round Concrete


A. inch boards making form; B, half
inch bolts: c. concrete wall; d. bolt with
four nuts: E. band iron 1T. wide and
three eighth inch thick.
and each circle is divided into four
sections (see plan). The sections
consist of six-inch boards two feet and
a half long, bolted with small bolts
on two bands of ssx2 inch iron; the
top band is within four inches Of top
of the boards and the other two four
inches from bottom. The ends OF the
band iron should turn out where they
join each other in order that they may
be bolted together. The bolts should
have continuous thread cut on them
and -four nuts on each, two between
the band iron and one on each end OF
the bolts. These nuts are to tighten
or loosen the form when desired.
There must also be half inch bolts
put through the wall, three in the
bottom and three in the top Of each
section and through the band iron.
When the form is raised these bolts
by Stacking the nuts on the bolts
where the sections join
At the joints where the sections
meet there must be one-eighth inch
plate Of iron twelve inches wide
screwed on to the form, letting the
other side lap under the form; this
holds the concrete to its place and al
lows the form to loosen or tighten as
desired.
To raise the form, stand four up
rights on the inside of the silo where
the sections meet, and about six or
seven feet above the wall nail on a
plank. allowing the plank to project
over the wall; fasten a small pair Of
blocks to the ends of these planks.
There must be four of these planks
so as to raise the form up on all
sides alike. Take short whifletree
and fasten the hooks to both the out
er and inner form and the lower block
to this whifletree. A man at each
rope will raise the form easily; then
tighten up the bolts again. If care be
taken any one can build a silo as true
and smooth as crock.
There are about fifty feet of unset.
tied ensilage or forty feet of well set
tied ensilage in a ton, therefore 1t
would require silo ten feet in dame
ter and thirty feet high to supply your
cattle feeding them thirty-five pounds
per day for the housing season.

The graceful execu-
ton of work which Is
embarrassing to do.

You may have to cut your conver-
sation off with an ak if talking to
some subordinate when superior
comes and wishes to see him.
No one can get above irritating
conditions, but every one can live
above being injured by them.
II we are always polite. respectful
and forethoughtful we cannot be in
suited nor irritated.
Your hand may be injured without
the injury reaching your head. Your
conversation may be interrupted, yet
your disposition go quietly on without
a fret.
By collecting examples of uninter-
rupted good nature under the most
trying circumstances you can satur-
ate yourself with that spirit Of self
control which permits you to ride
over the breakers that upset common
people.
The world needs a permanent and
active committee Of large member
ship for exhibiting a superabundance
CT cheerfulness and to bump against
the discouraged, the fretful, the mel
ancholy and the negative.
Positive happiness is catching just
as much as bad things. Those who
get the least happiness in this world
are not the ones who have the most
trouble. T. S. Arthur taught me that
years ago in one of his stories. The
man who has all the good things of
heaven and the revenge of hell is
worse off than the man full of trou-
BILE but in possession of forgiving
spirit

words subordinate and superior. A
superior told me last year that he
did not like those words. Can you

About a clerk and a
customer,for the reader
who is willing to learn
by the experiences of
others.

The customer had a map of the foot
of the child which was at home. The
map was two and half by five and a
half inches.
The clerk may have been thinking
about his coal bill when he selected a
pair of shoes seven inches long.
What was the customer thinking
about? Probably stockings or cotton
VS.. wool.
Whenever we have a chance to in.
spect what others are doing for us we
should do so, as everybody needs a
of forethought is worth dozen hours
of afterthought-at least it would have
been so in this shoe sample.
When you tell the conductor where
to let you off try to help him do it as
he has many things to think on.
But in trying to help another to do
right by you do not be a nuisance 1t
is easy to worry clerks and conductors
who are doing right. Think and listen
but speak little and do not be nervous
in your manner.
Yes, it is easy for me to write the
thing to do, but how about how to do
it? Study how people act. the people
that clerks and conductors like, the
people that keep cool and do the right
thing at the right time, the people who
are tempted to get nervous, but by
practice and study and observation
have acquired self-control and a clear
head. These things are worth work
ing for. Study people who have them.

. A Plan for Heating Trains.

Considerable difficulty has been ex-
railway cars in Europe owing to the
condensation of the steam and to the
presence of water in the pipes. BY a
system devised by M. Lancrenon and
about to be installed on the Eastern
railway Of France this is obviated by
employing compressed air, which is
mixed with the steam, and carries
along any condensed water to suitable
traps. The condensed air also en-
ables smaller pipes to be used, and
where ten or twelve cars were for
merly the limit, now twenty or more
can be heated satisfactorily. The air
used amounts to about ten per cent
Of the steam supply. and when a
slight amount is used to raise the
pressure at the portion Of the train
near the engine, the effect is felt
through the line of pipes. In one in
stance, where steam was admitted to
the heating system at pressure of
fifty-seven pounds per square inch, the
pressure at the end of the train was
but ten pounds. Using sufficient air
to make the pressure sixty pounds
per square inch, twenty-eight and a
half pounds at the end of the train
were obtained, which fell to twenty
steam was admitted to the traps. With
trains of unusual length the results
were equally satisfactory.

From a syrup sales
man to the man who
printed the pluck poem.

Some seven years ago'l began col
lecting ideas on a certain special sub
iect and one day young man, who
was on the road selling liquid sweet
ness and had become inter ested in my
collection of thoughts, said to me:
why don't you get that poem in a
wholesale office on South Water
street,"
Then he told me about it and
called at the wholesale Office, learned
something about the history of the
verse and copied it. Since then it has
gone around the world in various
ways.
A few weeks ago l noticed that a
printer had put it on a card and cir
culatcd it with his compliments. One
day when near his place | called on
him and found that we were interested
in the same subjects and there is a
chance Of our being useful to each
other.
The verse was painted and framed
quarter of century ago by man who
grew a business with branches in
many American cities and he placed
duplicate of the framed thought in
each office.
A mine owner told the printer that
he wanted some of the cards for the
young men at his place as some OF
them were easily discouraged. Here
are the words slightly changed:
Pluck wins, it always wins; though
days be glad and nights be dark twixt
times that come and go; still pluck
will win. its average is sure. He gains
the prize who can the most endure,
who faces issues, he who never shirks,
who waits and watches and who al
ways works.

Handsome Street Gown,

A handsome street gown Is of
mauve cloth. A hip yoke formed of
stitched bands of cloth fits snugly and
fastens with gold buttons a trifle to
the left. The bodice is fashioned
after the same idea. the stitched
straps giving a short-jacket effect,
closing on the side to correspond with
skirt decoration. The sleeves are
similarly treated and the large, loose
puff which falls from elbow is at
tached to narrow cuff. The collar is
also made of stitched straps and gold
en- brown satin, the latter being used
for the deep girdle and scarf. which is
finished with brown silk fringe.
