Truancy Law a Success.

The truancy law has worked very
successfully so far in Grant county,
says the John Day News, as not a
single case of delinquency has been
brought before the courts. But few
cases of nonattendance have been re-
ported, and 1t is likely that none have
occurred without being reported, ana
those were very quickly and quietly
disposed of by friendly requests to
obey the law. In one district child
rem who had not attended regularly
for years, indeed during their entire
lives, are now regularly and profitably
going right along. or the many good
laws recently enacted none are more
beneflcient than the compulsory edu-
cation law.

WHEAT THRESH|NG
HALF OF THE CROP is NOW IN

Most Of the Buying Is for Export,

Buying, and Many Farmers Will
Hold for Advance.

It is estimated that half Of the
wheat crop of Umatilla county has
now been threshed and with the
present favorable weather continuing
harvesting will be over in most of
the county by September l. Upon
the reservation the combines have
now been running steadily for sew
eral weeks. excepting during the wet
weather, and large part of the crop
is now in sacks.
In the country north of here
threshing commenced later than
upon the reservation. However.
some OF the threshers are now COM
pleting their runs already, according
to Kenneth McCrea, who has been
here today. But while some are
nearly through in that section others
have many acres yet to thresh and
will be busy until late in September.
Market Still Alive.
Though no telegraphic informations
regarding prices can be secured by
the local grain buyers, nevertheless
the market is still open here and
prices are quoted regularly by the
various warehouse representatives
Today the current price is Sc cents
and it is evidently based on instruc
tions received by phone or mai
from the head offices on the coast.
According to some of the buyer

Leather Bound Books

A n official of the Congressional Library was
n talking with friend who recently had
purchased a handsome set of leather bound
volumes, and said:
You had better examine those volumes
carefully to see if the leather needs feeding
If it is new stock they will be all right let
alone for several years; but if they have been
on the shelves for sometime, the leather will
have lost most of its natural oil and become
brittle. This applies especially to books kept
in private houses, which are as rule much
hotter than the book stacks of large library.
There is nothing more attractive than fresh,
we'll preserved leather binding on a volume,
and scarcely anything less SO than dilapi-
dated, cracked one.
You can add years to the life of leather
binding and hundred per cent. to its appear
ance by rubbing in a little vaselne with a
piece of raw cotton-not too much-lust as
much as the leather will thoroughly absorb.
Where the binding bends is where it is most
likely to crack. The leather will not be
greasy, as the vaseline will be absorbed. One
treatment every year two is sufficient, I'm
less the books are unduly exposed to heat"

Recording Cable Messages

A MONG the various interesting devices en-
n ployed to record cable messages is an
invention of Adler, a French electrician.
In this case a fine wire is stretched vertically
between the poles of powerful electromagnetic,
and the currents from the cable passing through
the wire cause it to be DETECTED, according to
their direction, now toward the north and now
toward the south pole of the magnet.
The shadow of the wire, projected across
narrow slit, falls as black spot upon strip of
Photographic paper, which is caused to travel
at a fixed rate.
After message has been received, the photo
graphic trace of the moving shadow is auto
matically developed, and becomes, as it were,
the handwriting of the instrument, which can
be read at leisure.

THE late Andrew J. Dam, a well known
L hotel man of New York, was, at the time
of the Civil War, proprietor of hotel in New
Bedford.
A number of colored citizens interested in
the formation of military company called
upon him and informed him that they would
be glad to form the company and allow him to
suggest the name, provided he would pay for
the equipments.
Congressman T. D. Elliott has fitted out
a company of white men, and throughout the
war they will be known the Elliott Light
Guards, said the spokesman of the colored
men.
Well" said Dam, If am to equip and
organize this colored company, l shall insist
that they be known as the Dam Black Guards"
The company was never organized.

The opening of the pie is the dawn of day.

The Turkish Crescent

THE Turks adopted the crescent as the en-
blem of their country when they cap
tured Byzantium. Before Turkish reign pre-
vailed in that city it was besieged by Philip of
Macedon, who, after being repeatedly baAled
in its capture, formed night attack in hope
of finding the garrison off guard.
Just as the troops of Philip were advancing,
the moon shone out brightly and revealed the
attack to the beseiged, who repulsed it. After
the city, and when Byzantium fell to the Turks
they found it hung in every public square
Believing it to possess some magical power
they adopted it themselves, and it afterward
became the emblem of the Turkish Empire.

I'll long and wait, till life is done,
The hour that sunders every tie;

To get three meals day.
