Did she Mean II.

Somehow or other I never thought
the latter was really sincere. Maybe
1t is because my own locks are as
straight as can be, but it is impos-
sible for me to imagine how any girl
with pretty, curly hair could possibly
wish 1t was straight.
Take, for instance, a rainy day.
Mabel, whose hair is straight. and Ger
trilde, whose hair is curly, leave the
house together. In the beginning
Mabers hair looks just as pretty as
Gertrude's, for h has waved and
brushed it carefully. But she has not
gone far before both sides of her face
are ~ornamented with string locks,
which are anything but becoming. She
pushes them back. and by the time she
reaches her destination she feels like
a poor, forlorn chicken, while Ger
trude is as neat and sweet-looking as
ever.
And yet Gertrude loves to scold
about her curly hair.
AS Mabel said one day, "You can
take curly hair, gave it a little brush
ing, twist 1t up, and 1t looks as pretty
as you would desire, but straight hair
takes your time. You fuss and fume,
and brush, and after it is arranged you
feel like taking 1t down and beginning
over again.

.Oh, dear, 1 wish my hair wasn't so
curly exclaimed a young girl the
other day as she tucked in a stray
lock which fell in a soft wave against
her cheek; lit just curls, and curls.
M curls, and never looks as if it was
properly cared for"
You ought to be glad of It," re-
marked another, whose tresses were as
straight as the proverbial poker. Sup
pose you had hair that wouldn't even
curl when you curled it," and she
directed a disguised glance toward the
mirror.
And that is just the way 1t goes.
The straightforward girl would pray
for curly hair every day in the week
If she thought it would bring the de-
sired result, and the curly-locked dam
sell is forever protesting against the
u%nruliness of her browning glory.

some DO Look Well.

1t seems to me that the only
STRAIGHTFORWARD girls whose hair looks
really nice are those who have never
succumbed to the temptations of the
patent curler or the iron. Being used
TO wearing their hair straight, they
know just how to arrange 1t, and have
as comfortable a time as III curly
locked girl any day in the week.
BIT the STRAIGHTFORWARD girl who is
fond Of curls has her own troubles.
Rain, dampness, wind, everything,
seem to conspire against her effort to
have wavy locks. But her numbers are
legion and she never gives up. The
sale of curling IRONS never diminish,
no matter how the styles of coiffures
change.

EVADING TAXES.

The tax assessors of New York city
have returned Mrs. Sage's fortune at
s5O.OOO,OOO. During his lifetime Mr..
Soge annually made oath that he was
worth but $2,00O,0OO, and the assess
ors accepted this valuation. tits evi-
dent that the officials have either
grossly overvalued the estate, or that
pious Russell lied about $4S,OOO,OOc
worth yearly. We incline to suspect
CEcle Russell.
This incident is of value as les
son in taxation. 1t shows the injus-
tice of our present system of taxation;
the ease with which the rich evade
their share of the burden and the
consequent increase in the burder of
the poor.
This evasion of taxation was not
confined to Russell Sage. 1t Is gen.
eral. There is not a millionaire in
| New York who does not annually re-
turn his property falsely. Only short
time ago DR.. Seth Low discovered
that he had ignorantly overlooked
property liable to taxation, and there
upon he drew his check in favor of th'
city for the amount honestly due, ant
the phenomenon OF any wealthy mar
actually paying his taxes honestly wa
thought worthy of several columns
of excited discussion in the leadin
New York journals. They had neve
heard of such a thing before.-SaI

governor occupying the executive
chamber. In the house Of representa-

lonely, quizzical democrat, and at the
time this solid republican house was
elected, the state of Oregon gave her
democratic governor plurality 10
times larger in reelection than he re-
ceived in his first election.
In Oregon's metropolis, the foun-
;uin head of state politics, he finds a
democratic mayor, with everything
else overwhelmingly republican.
In the same state which gave Theo-
dore Roosevelt over 10000 plurality,
Mr., Bryan will find enacted some of
tie most radical populist doctrines
initiative and referendum, direct
nominating primary law popular cleo
ton OF United States senator's, local
option law and others of equal sig
nificance.
When Mr.. Bryan surveys these par
adoNicol facts, finds that within the
scope of decade the people of Ore
gon have changed their politics almost
completely without changing the name
of their party, he will be astounded.
Little room for democrats or popu-
lists where republicans do so much

CATTLE SPRAYING PUMPS.

Consul General Julius G. Lay, of
Cape Town, advises that recent arti-
cles in South African agricultural
publications are drawing the attention
of those interested in cattle raising to
the advantages of spraying cattle,
which are infested with insects, es-
pecially ticks, concerning which he
writes:
Although many solutions and emul-
sions have been tried here. as in the
United States, for killing insects on
cattle, it is now admitted that the most
successful mixture is water and kero-
sene oil, which is applied on the cat
tie by means of a spray pump. There
is an increasing demand for spray
pumps, especially among the smaller
farmers. as it is a simpler and cheaper
method of getting rid of insects on
animals than dipping the cattle.
The principal makes of spray
pumps in this market are of Ameri-
can manufacture. The chief competi-
tor is a syphon pump invented by the
late Hon. Arthur Douglass. a farmer
of Cape Colony, a description of which
by C. P. Lounsbury, Cape Colonial
government entomologist, and ma
tive of Massachusetts,, also a picture
of the pump are forwarded by Mr..
Lay. and will be furnished to those
applying to the bureau of manufac-
lures.
The Douglass pump, with hose noz-
zle and measure glass, is retailed by
merchants in Cape Colony at "a, equal
to $19.47. To give American manu-
facturers an idea of the improvement
needed on any sprayer used in South
Africa it is thought best to quote from
Mr.. Lounsbury: 1.-The ideal pump fol
cattle spraying, to my mind, would b'
an apparatus capable for supplying
two lines of hose, one on each side o
the cattle race, with an unvaryint
per centage of oil in the mixture, an(
which would not easily get out of or
der in ordinary usage. No pump ye
made fulfills these seemingly simpl
requirements, but it is not too mucl
to expect that material improvement
on the best of the present pumps ca
and will be made, particularly If cat
tie spraying becomes common
A sprayer which would operate o
both sides of the cattle at the sam
= time would, it is thought, have grea
a, advantage in the market, as it is nee
l essary to have two of the Dougla
: sprayers to accomplish this end, there
: by making the expense double.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-23

Umatilla county stockmen will have
cause to be grateful to DR.. c. ]. Smith
of this county, If by his senate reso-
luton he succeeds in removing the
tax collected on livestock in crossing
the Umatilla Indian reservation. This
tax is unjust and unreasonable and
congress should heed the appeal of
Umatilla county to remove it. This
reservation is not a sacred Enclosure
where the citizens of the country
must be forbidden entrance, except
upon paying tribute.
