Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fiue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe.
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
SchnaPps and other Reynolds brands

THE PRODIGALS.

They wander through the world afar,
Meath many an alien sky,
Where unaccustomed pleasures are.
Or fancied fortunes lie;
But still they seek the friendly fires
That star Bohemia's dome,
And dearer than the worlds desires
They find the welcome home.
II matters not what music weaves
Its spell in foreign air;
The voice that sings through redwood
leaves
Will haunt them everywhere;
Whatever joy may sparkle up
Through stranger wassail-foam,
The love-light in Bohemia's cup
At length must guide them home.
Then here's to every man away,
Who sails on other seas;
Good fortune speed the shining day
He finds the homeward breeze.
If glad or sad the heart he brings,
If rich or poor he come,
The Owl will spread its big brown
wings
And give him welcome home.

THE COMMON "PLUG."

In arranging the premium lists for
the county fair to be held in this city
next September, the common plug"
should be remembered. Not only
should good premiums for pedigreed
stock be given, but the animal with
out a history should also be rewarded
for his excellence.
A list including non-pedigreed cat
tie, horses, sheep, hogs, chickens and
other common stock should be made
out and liberal premiums given to
these classes.
There are hundreds of fine horses,
cows and mules in the counties of
Umatilla and Morrow which deserve
recognition just as much. as the
blooded animals. Farmers take a de-
light in their good colts, good calves,
good teams and milch cows and the
premium money should be distributed
among this class of stock.
1t will encourage the breeding and
rearing of better stock and that is
the prime object of the county fair.
And after the fair commission offers
premiums for common plugs" the
farmer must bring them in to be ex-
hibited and compete for the premi-

MY CREED.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speaking ap-
proving, cheering words while their
ears can hear them. and while their
hearts can be thrilled and made hap
pier by them; the kind things you
mean to say when they are gone, say
before they go. The flowers you mean
to send for their coffins, send to
brighten and sweeten their homes be-
fore they leave them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes
of sympathy and affection, which they
intended to break over my dead body
l would rather they would bring them
out in my weary and troubled hours
and open them, that I may be re-
freshed and cheered by them while I
need them. I would rather have a
plain coffin without a flower. a fune-
raj without an eulogy, than a life
without the sweetness of love and
sympathy.
Let us learn to anoint our friends
beforehand for their burial Post
mortem kindness does not cheer the
troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance backward over life's
weary way.-W. d. Boyce.

A GAME FOR TWO.

Let us play that the world is bright,
Let us play that the day is fair;
Let us play that there is no spite
And that kindness is everywhere:
Let us play that l am boy
And that you are laughing maid,
That beyond us is only joy
We may journey to, unafraid.
Let us play that the things denied
Are the things which we, do not
crave; >.
Let us play that our path is wide
And that roses beside it wave:
Let us play that what we may claim
Is all we care to possess;
Let us play that life is a game
For prize, which is happiness.
Let us play that the day is long,
, That we've passed where misfortune
hides;
Let us play that my arms are strong
And that glee in your breast abides;
Let us play that l am a boy
And that you are laughing maid,
That beyond us is only joy
We may journey to, unafraid.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

The tendency to limit the death
penalty or even to abolish It for all
crimes, including murder in the first
degree, has been pronounced during
the last century. A few years ago
humanitarians spoke of backset in
the tendency and feared the regard
for human life was diminishing and
that executions in larger numbers
would result.
This years developments do not
seem to justify that fear. In Kan
SOS, where but one death warrant
has been signed since the state was
organized in 1861, the legislature has
now formally abolished the death

THE FOOL PAPERS,"

When a criminal corporation is dis
covered in its crookedness and is ex-
posed by the press, its agents at once
say "the fool papers" are the cause
OF the trouble.
When the papers warn the people of
the criminal intentions of law pass
ed for the benefit of the corporations,
they say the fool papers" hurt busi-
ness by agitating.
OF course everything would run
along smoothly were it not for the
fool papers" There would be no
way in which to publicly expose graft
ers and thieves if the fool papers"
were squelched.
"The fool papers in cooperation
with "fool reformers" like Folk,
Roosevelt, Hughes, La Toilette and
Hadley, have done more to cleanse
the national life and bring back the
besmirched national honor than all
the platitudes and preaching of the
conservative combined.
A streak of yellow journalism" is
good, if it has a streak of fearless,
yellow craftsmanship to back up its
Investigations and help right the
wrongs it finds.

just the same.
