waiting to hear the verdict from up
stairs. Presently the doctor entered,
his face all wreathed in smiles.
lis it a b-baby, doctor? No, con-
found it, I mean. is it a boy, doctor?"
spluttered Gerald.
ut is. Mr.. Sinclair, Inc a very fine
specimen, too" replied the doctor, as
though he were commenting on the
merits of a prize bull calf; but that Is
beside the question.
Gerald; "a boy 10 It? Then I've got his
name all ready. Gerald Arthur Sinclair,
he will be. And how's Mrs. Sinclair,
doctor?"
First rate, couldn't be getting along
better. Now here's the nurse with your
son M heir"
Then Gerald displayed a large amount
OF iunacy. After having decided that
there was something alive in all that
mass OF w%rappings, and having been
solemnly assured by the nurse hat it
was his own and they weren't trying
to substitute some inferior infant on
! m For I've read of such things" he
said, he held it in his arms, until the
terrified nurse took her charge again
and retreated.
Thenceforward Gerald was an au-
thority on children. and the next day he
LOOK a rather OF fourteen children to
lunch with him, and gravely contradict
ed all his views on the bringing up Of
children. From experience" was his
favorite remark. Still, the man who
had had experience didn't mind, he'd
been like it himself, and, as Gerald was
paying for his luncheon, he ate a great
deal and smiled.
Soon, however, the time for christen-
ing the juvenile Sinclair drew near,
and Ethel mooted the subject to her
husband.
Certainly, my dear, by all means
have him christened," was that gentle
mans lordly reply. as though he were
granting a great favor.
o. course we must have the sweet
little dear ~christened, you silly man,
but what name shall the precious
darling have?"
Hereafter I will not chronicle the en-
dearing names Mrs. Sinclair used when
speaking of her offspring. 1t is a Pc
culiar thing, uncommon to most young
mothers, I believe, but Mrs. Sinclair
had come to the conclusion that there
never was a baby like hers in the whole
wide world.
"Name-er-oh yes. I've already got
that-Gerald Arthur"
oh. you've already got It," repeated
Mrs. Sinclair, somewhat nettled. Then

How Wines Are colored.

Minneapolis Journals: Most people
think white grapes make white wine
and dark grapes make red wine,' said
a vjntner. That is a popular error.
Red wine is made by fermenting
grape juice and grape skins together,
the skins giving the color, and white
wine is made by fermenting craps
juice alone.
grapes doesn't differ in hue. In each
sort of grape the juice is almost color
less, like the weakest lemonade.
champagne, n Of the dearest OF
the white wines, is made Of a grape so
dark as to be nearly black. But the
juice of that nearly black grape is
quite al pale as the Juice of the blond

one of the latest additions to the
city museum is plow which was used
in planting the first crop of wheat in
the northwest at Vancouver, Wash. II
was brought around the Horn by the
Hudson's bay company, and while the
exact date of its arrival is not known,
il was here before 1926, when the first
crop of wheat was harvested at Van
couver. The plow is a heavy affair,
33 inches in length. and would cut a
furrow about seven and n half inches
wide. The unique feature about it is
its mold-board, which turns in at the
bottom instead Of flaring out to carry
the dirt according to the style of the
modern plow Among other additions
to the museum are three old-style tile
that We're shipped to the northwest at
an early date by the Hudson's Bay
company from England. At the old
Vancouver Barracks in 1850 they were
| used in fireplace of Gay Hayden
whose widow has presented them to
I'the museum. They look like mis-
shapen brick and are IL inches square
and two inches thick.

ARE FARMERS WAsTEFUL.
senator Croisan, of Salem, Makes Val
liable Observations.

State Senator e. NJ. Croisan, of Sa-
lem, has just returned from a trip
east, says the West Side Enterprise
Among his observations while away
he learned that the fair made a ia
vorable impression on eastern people.
He also learned that the farmers OF
the middle west are more up 20 date
i'm farming than here and have more
to show for their efforts.
on this subject Senator Croisan
says:
Perhaps ii is partly in the method
of farming. When l notice how they
manage farms in Illinois, for exam
pie. | am astonished at the wasteful-
ness Of Oregon farmers. This is a
rich and productive region, land is
comparatively cheap, and we haven't
learned the necessity of turning every
thing TO account. Fruit that we leave
TO rot under the trees the eastern far
mer carefully gathers and sells. Wide
fence rows that grow up to brush in
oregon. produce something for the
farmer in hte east. Machinery left
standing out in the rain and sun in
oregon would be carefully housed in
Illinois
Part of our wastefulness in oregon
is due to limited markets, perhaps,
but there are many ways the farm
ers of this valley could increase their
annual profits il they made the ef-
fort--formed the habit-of making
everything Weld an income. A large
population, which we shall soon have
will widen our markets and we shall
be able to sell many things we now
throw away. The increased value OF
land will make economy necessary
and we shall gradually learn to make
everything count. In few years
Willamette valley farmers will be
making good profits on things that
are wasted today"

WOULD START A CANNERY.
Eastern Company Investigating VIII
lamette Valley Products.

For some time past, Warren & Sta
| ter of McMinnville, have been collect
| ing samples of sweet corn grown in
that vicinity, and on October Is for
warded the same to an eastern firm
that Is contemplating the erection of
a corn cannery at that place, says the
McMinnville Telephone Register The
superintendent of the cannery says:
"Your samples were delayed some
| time. and | have delayed writing you
until such time as we had examined
them thoroughly and discussed the
matter with different parties, who are
! interested i'm the product.
Everyone who has looked at the
corn seems to be well pleased with it
/ and, as for myself, l do not doubt in
the least but that you can raise eX-
| cellent corn. as | consider the quality
first-class in every way.
"As to the amount per acre 1t is
necessary to raise before ii will be a
| paying proposition for the farmer, will
simply say that here we pay the far
mer SIG per ton and estimate that
each acre will yield three tons.
However, three tons is not a large
corn this year, that yielded 1-2 tons,
aud in a great many cases the corn
will go from four to four and a half
tons per acre, so that the farmer can
easily estimate for himself what the
crop will pay him.
This corn is brought to the factory
snapped in just the condition your
samples were, which you sent me for
inspection. and 1t is then husked at the
factory. The corn will, when ready
for canning, be just between the milk
and dough. or just about the condi-
ton regarding hardness of the sam
pres sent me.
mo particular kind of corn is nee
sssary, as any good, white, sweet corn
will do. However, in this country we
prefer Stowell's Evergreen or Rice's
Early Evergreen, the latter being what
| sent you. ,
We have the same size of a plant
here that should we build there we
would put up. and we have paid out
to the farmers of this community for
| the product over $4,000 for this sea-
son and $4,000 to the laboring people
| for help.
IF there is any information that
you desire on any branch of the SUI
/ ject which we have not explained
here, we will be glad at any time to
write you fully"
With such reports from so high an
authority, our farmers should be will
ing to guarantee the planting and cul-
| tivation of the required number of
Iacres-probably 700 or 500, in order
to secure the location of the cannery
at this place.
