making excuses for putting things
off,"
You're not to blame, Jay" the
woman of the house comforted him..
NO one will blame you. And you've
!ost all that fine stock. It's terrible. "
"You did the best you could" the
husband agreed.
After the storm had gone, leaving
behind 1t the odor of wet dirt and
fragrant meadows, the three went to
the door to see what was left. Limbs
OF trees were scattered even in the
farmyard. where the cyclone had not
come. The straight wind that fol-
lowed 1t had sufficed to tear them
from the trees and to strew them
for rods in every direction. And
across the fields the watchers could
see straw stack burning, where the
lightning had struck It. AS they
stood on the porch, the telephone bell
rang. 1t was a party line, and the
old woman kept count.
"One, two, three and a short!"
she mumbled. Then, why, that's
your ring, isn't 1t. Jay?"
YES" said Jay, while the white
line about his mouth widened and the
fear in his eyes grew more intense.
I'D rather be shot than answer it
but I've got to-"
Shakily he walked to the tele-
phone and took down the receiver.
THAT you, boss?" a nasal voice
reached him. GLORY be! I was
afraid you had started for town and
got caught in that tornado. I'm glad
to hear your voice!"
jays hand shook so that he had
to press the receiver hard to his ear
to keep from dropping it. His eyes
had grown bright, and joy sounded
from his voice when he answered his
hired man.
Where are you, Watson?" he de-
manded. How did you miss the
storm? Did it kill all the cattle?"
To this three-barreled question
Watson replied with his usual delib-
GRAFTON. I'm over at mothers. and
missed the storm by reason of goin'
half a mile south Of it. The cattle
is all right-little bit skittish, but
/ guess we'll beat you into town yet"
The boy explained afterward that,
feeling sure bad storm was COM
ing, he had taken the road to his
mothers place, instead of keeping
on toward town. And for once Jay
did not scold him for disobeying
orders.-From the Youths Com.

THE HARVEST BARREL.

E5-.y LH1 Betty had just eaten
supper when the door-bell rang. They
were expecting the expressman to
bring th.A something, so they ran
to the window to look out.
TITS come! It's comet" cried
Bobby. 'It's out on the side porch
now!"
Look, mother, dol" cried Betty.
1t was a barrel, and such big
barrel that two expressmen had all
they could do to bring 1t upstairs.

grandma's cookies. Betty liked the
honey, father liked the apples, and
mother liked the pears.
When the fire had gone down,
Betty and Bobby gave goodnight
kisses, and then each went to little
bed for the night.
The very first thing they did in the
morning was to write letter full Of
thanks to grandma and grandpa,
which they dropped in the mail-box
on their way to school.-Maud Burn

According to Electrician, Vien-
ma firm has recently placed on the
market brushes made of glass, which
are to replace emery cloth for clean
ing and polishing the commutators of
dynamos and motors, These brushes
are said to clean the commutators
without scoring the metal, and their
use avoids the inconveniences and
dangers of emery cloth.
An inexpensive instrument called
the "snakebite lancet" has been in
troduced in India with splendid re-
suits 1t is being distributed by the
government in an effort to reduce the
fearful loss of life, which amounts TO
$4,000 persons each year. \ report
is to the effect that one person saved
the lives of twenty persons bitten by
cobras and kariats within the last
year by the use of one lancet.
NJ Maggiora, who purposes to abol-
ish fog and has submitted his explo-
sive scheme to the London County
Council, seems to have no doubt of
the efficacy of his methOd-the shoot"
ing of strong and searching currents
of air out of huse cannon or pro-
jectors. Eight or ten of these
weapons would he says. be needed as
a permanent anti-fog apparatus for
London. "Twcnty explosives, costing
I'd. each, will dissipate any fog In
twenty minutes" he says.
The automatic signalling lead of
Sjostrand, a Swedish engineer, is a
so-called "water kite" that is kept at
a depth regulated by the line given to
1t and that is uncoupled thus regis
tering a signal on the vessels deck
when its forward end touches bottom.
SThe roof-like planes-pointing for
ward and downward-cause the kite
to "fy' directly downward as 1t Is
pulled through the water. On becom-
ing unioupled, the apparatus rises,
when it is pulled in, and after a slight
adjustment Is ready to be thrown
again. without Stacking speed, dam
gerous shoals can be guarded against
in foggy weather or in unfamiliar
waters, or depth observations can be
made for any purpose.
One of the features of the recent
submarine tests at Newport was an
apparatus for the escape of occupants
of disabled craft under water. 1t
is like a diving piece in appearance,
with head-piece and jacket. In the
jacket is a copper flask filled with
oxylite, which generates oxygen. Be-
fore closing the glass face visor the
wearer places a tube in his mouth
connected with the flask, and the
moisture from his breathing acts on
the oXylite so as to produce fresh air
to sustain life. Oxylite was discovered
by a Frenchman, but its application
to this purpose was made by the
makers of the Octopus. The test was
made in hogshead of water, but was
not entirely successful.

The action of the stockholders of the
Apple Growers Union 10 almost
unanimously voting to build a GOLD
storage warehouse to cost S25, 900, Is
commendable, and Is evidence of the
fact that the growers realize the i'm
portanoe of being prepared to take
care OF the big apple crops which will
in q few years require systematic
handling to bring the most profitable
results. The only differences Of
opinion at the meeting was the man
ner In which the project should be
handled, there being no one who
thought the plant was not needed.
Even some OF those who voted against
it, owing to this reason, afterwards
signed for the stock, and there is no
question of the plant being built II all
do their share. Ii will require sub
scription of 800 from each member of
the union, and those who fail to do
their share will impose an extra bur
den on those who must make up the
deficiency. Arrangements have been
made with the banks to carry those
who have not the money at the pres
ent time, so that all may sign for the
stock,

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN FOR
HOOD RIVER COUNTY.
FOR

An advertising campaign to apprise
the voters of the state OF Oregon of
the fact that they will have the priv
iIege Of voting on the proposition to
establish Hood River county next
June will soon be insugurated by the
Hood River county committee. The
committee especially asks that the
business men OF Hood River make 1t
a point to use stationery that in some
way calls attention to the new county
In their correspondence and that they
secure literature from members of the
committee showing why residents
want 1t, and also that the section it
is proposed to take In is in every way
able to support the necessary govern
ment for it on a tax that will not be
any higher than that under govern
ment Of the present county, and pos
sibly less. The committee suggests
that every resident make 1t point to
write some friend or acquaintance or
several OF them asking them in turn
to ask their friends to support the
Hood River county bill at the June
elections. It is believed that the ma
Jority OF the voters of the state will
vote favorably on the proposition and
that the great problem is to get them
interested enough not to neglect to
do 30. 1t is pointed out that the es
tablishing OF the county means much
to every resident and property holder
In 1t and that they should make a
special effort to help in securing 1t in
every way possible. AS the movement
is absolutely non. political, fraternal
and other organi cations can do much
to help and members of organizations
should bear this In mind when writing
or visiting with members of the or.
ders from other parts Of the state.
The committee believes that success
will attend united action and asks
that 1t be given voluntarily by every
one, including women, school child.

and live In other parts Of the state.
