II was proved centuries ago that a
crow can count up TO three and no
more. l met a farmer once who said
that his corn crop had not failed in
twenty years owing to his habit Of
stringIng his field. He explained:
mo crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles.

In corn for fodder, protecting It by
zigzag string running from one end to
the other Within the angles formed

them, at each end, the whole crop was

Sim L,nauaa. on ,h. Curb

Any one would imagine all the curb
brokers In Broad street we're mutes.
They use the sign language down
there now to convey quotations and
sales to their Office boys and clerks
who sit in the windows Of the Offices
to catch the quotations. As a matter
of fact, some Of the brokers use the
deaf and dumb alphabet; others use a
distinct signaling code Of their own,
known only to the one single house
and Its representative. Even this,
however, has to be changed now and
then. The brokers possess a nimble
wit, and they soon learn the secret
signs Of their competitors.-New York

WITHYCOMBE TALKS OF
OREGON OPPORTUNITIES
Director of Experiment Station OF
Oregon Agricultural College Ex-
poets Much Good 10 Result from
Live Stock Exhibition Western
Oregon Ideal for Butter and Cream
Industry.

"oregon is rapidly awakening to
way Of industrial development" re-
marked DIR. James Withycombe, di-
rector Of the oregon experiment sta
ton at Corvallis, "and that is the
abundant opportunity for developing
the live stock industry. We must
make more of this opportunity we
now have right before u.s." he contin-
ued, IF we are to keep pace with
progress.
Western oregon affords the fin
est opportunity in the world for rails
ing fine clover, cattle and vetch and
these products cannot be excelled as
foodstuffs for the raising of select
stock. 1t Is the same old story. We
don't know what we have here in
Oregon, and we are slow to accept
new doctrines, new theories about
anything. But at the same time there
is not a single industry / can think
OF or have in any way come in con-
tact with that presents such mani
fold chances for extensive develop
ment as does this one industry. /
am glad Portland is going to have
live stock exposition. Its full mean
ing was presented in the columns Of
the Portland oregonian only few
days ago by w. E. Skinner, the found
er Of the great international live stock
show OF Chicago and now one of the
leading stockmen of Denver He is
familiar with the situation and sees
perhaps a little further into he fu-
ture than the most Of us do. So /
say, with proper encouragement,
Portland will have no difficulty what
ever in establishing her position as
the livestock center OF the Northwest,
and by all means she needs to have
q splendidly representative show each
year"
DR.. Withycombe took a trip out
TO the Country club grounds yesterday
and declared that the arrangement
OF the livestock barns conformed to-
the most modern ideas for such struc-
lures and said that from what he
had already observed Of the plans
for the first Pacific national meet,
II should add great impetus to the
livestock business of Oregon and the
entire country tributary to Portland.
In line with the above statements,
DR.. Withycombe was in Portland for
q two days visit in which he delivered
an address on the subject Of "In-
tensive Farming" before the Portland
Realty board on Wednesday even
ing, in which some of his views on
the livestock situation in Oregon were
forcibly set forth.
DR.. Withycombe expects to be in
Portland during the meet here In
September, and says that he will do
everything in his power to arouse in
terest among the bree lcrs Of select
livestock in the new undertaking.

PUTS BULLET INTO HEART.
John Page, Despondent, Takes His
Life i'm Woods Near The Dalles.

The Dalles, Ore, July 2S.-The
body of John Page, young man
whose parents reside in Kingsley, was
found Saturday in the pines near the
old city cemetery south of town, where
he had apparently taken his own life.
A shot through the heart had caus-
ed his death, evidence showing that
one cartridge of his pistol had been
tried before the fatal shot. A SS-
caliber revolver which he purchased
in a local store lay by his side. He
was about 80 years old and unmar-
ried. Dependency is thought to
have caused the act.
