Mary Garden saw Her Chance and
orasped It.

A few years ago Mary Garden. now
the favorite of New York audiences,
was nm unknown little singer in Paris.
She was almost in despair, although
enrolled on the star Of the Opera Com
ique, when one night Rioton, the prin-
cipal, was taken suddenly III, The
management was frantic. Miss Gar
den had studied the part of Louise. She
was sent for, and. though she had new
err even sung with an orchestra, she
showed her grit and went on, In ten
minutes, says The DeIineator for Feb
ruary, she had won the audience, and
ever since she has been a fayorite.
Mary Garden was born in Aberdeen
about thirty years ago, and there is
tragmentary legend that one Of her
ancestors by the name OF Gardyne
sang for queen OF Scotland several
centuries ago. And Mary, at one year
81 age, carried the tune Of . hymn.

raft and ne others,

There are sound. substantial rea-
sons for the conspicuous progress Of
the candidacy of Secretary Taft and
for the stationary character of the
candidates opposed to him. These
reasons cover the whole political
field. First of all, the kind of man
Taft is, the work he has done, the
way he has done II, the principles
he upholds and his courageous loyal
ty to the President whom the people
elected by the greatest vote ever
given a party nominee - all these
things mark him as the kind of man
.he country wants for President

There are others who argue with
a sad shake Of the head that Taft

approve Of man who has been SO.
long in the public eye, who has filled
with distinction so many and SO va
rious positions of difficulty and re-
sponsibility, because some one else
approves of him, Is to argue ones
self incapable of independent judg-
ment. 1t suggests the inconsequen-
tial jealousy of spoiled school girl.
Yet there are some who have allowed
themselves to be made the dupes Of
nti-Roosevelt and anti-Taft work
ers, who have found that the only
argument that they could advance
against Taft was that 1t was not fair
play for the President to have the
same confidence in Taft's exceptional
qualifications and In his availability
as candidate that hundreds Of
thousands of citizens in private life
have DENIED him to have st. Paul

Present Indications are that Ore
gon will send a solid Taft delega-
ton to the national Republican con-
Nention.
There are some preferences ex-
pressed for Hughes, but the great
mass Of Republicans have absolutely
no second choice.
The leaders in this State are rap
idly catching onto the situation and
are declaring themselves for Taft
because he is the peoples choice.
II left to a direct primary, Taft
would carry Oregon three to one over

A share of the profits of the farm

Let the hogs out on the sunshiny
days. Nothing like warm bit OF sun
shine on their backs to invigorate
them and make the feed count for
more. It's the contented stock which
make the most rapid gains.
Where observations have been
made 1t has been proved that orchards
cultivated faithfully gave abundant
yields Of apples while those sown in
grass and not cultivated have not
yielded at all satisfactorily.
How about those accounts you were
going to start with the new year? Not
too late to begin now. You ought to
keep track of the outgo and the in

whether you are getting ahead or run

He that putteth farm before wife is
small souled and shirt-sighted. Let
not the burdens Of the farm press too

needless drudgery which takes the
joy out of life and makes the farm the
prison from which the soul longs to be
set free.
The handy barn is the barn where
the arrangements are such as to make
work therein easy. Have you such a
barn? Have you put in that stairway
to the loft, or are you still content to
expend time and effort in swinging
from rafter to ratter in gaining access
to the upper story?
The reason why poultry on the
farm pay is because all grain food can
be grown on the farm, as well as po-
tatoes, turnips, beets, mangels. cab
bages, clover, ETC., for which the city
breeders, or those les fortunately sit.
uated, have to pay big price, and
which represents big item on the
