The Passing of the Wash Tie.

1t is curious to note among the fads
AMI :ancies of the moment the increas-
ing disregard for the wash tie. 1t
seems strange, indeed, in our now
tropical climate, that this neat and
cooll"oking CORN of scarf should no
longer meet with popular favor, but
there are two reasons at least, which
might account for the passing of the
wash tie. 1t is safe to say that never
were there scarfs invented SO difficult
to tie satisfactorily as those of the so
called "wash'' variety; they soon lose
their freshness and after they are
washed it is more difficult than ever
to tie them into a good knot But
the real reason why they are no longer
i'll vogue would seem to be because of
the advent of lock front fold collars,
the demand for narrower scarfs than
obtain in the wash kinds and the pre-
va;ling popularity of pastel tints and
the pale shades which can only be
obtained in silks and crepe But af-
ter all wash ties are summary and
and always effective. One
should not hesitate to lay in a stock
of them for the dog days" even
though the narrow silk scarf is the ac-
cepted favorite at the present time.

Clean Channels Gloves.

To clean chamois, doeskin or elkskin
gloves they should be washed on The
hands. Have a 1ather of warm water
and wash the gloves as gently as
possible by rubbing the hands together,
cleaning finger tips by rubbing in the
palm of the opposite hand. Rinse
thoroughly, then wash through tepid
water containing little soap. Wipe
the gloves as dry as possible with soft,
warm towels. To wipe the moisture
Off do not rub the gloves with the
towel, but pat the gloves SO the towel
will absorb all moisture. Slip care
fully from the hands. Do not stretch
them. Hang in the air to dry When
dry, pat them between the hands to
soften them. If too hurriedly dried in
the sun or near artificial heat. they
may wrinkle like all leather, for which
reason they should be gradually dried
and not fastened. Before placing the
gloves again upon the hands, sift a
large quantity of talcum powder into
each one. If the gloves are white,
cover them literally with talcum
powder on the outside, as it has a
tendency to soften the white leather.

The Well Dressed Man.

With the recurrence of the "dog

East have been treated to in the first
two weeks of July-the much mooted
question of whether or not man is
justified in appearing in public without
his coat is once more holding the at
tention OF the chroniclers of the fads
and foibles of the moment.
Certainly the well-dressed man of the
hour, even without his coat, should not
be 4 subject of opprobrium. His trous-
ers fit snugly at the hips. Should there
be any fullness, it is gathered in by
two small straps and buckles, one on
either side, and these are hidden from
view by the neat. narrow leather belt
which now plays so important Il part
in the summer costume of the day. The
ugly single strap and buckle in the
back of the trousers, punching up the
cloth i'll multitudinOus crinllly folds, is
thing of the past. Then, too, the
modern negligee shirt is, indeed, =

of the beautiful silk scarfs, chosen to
match the stripes in the shirt, or to

broidered. The collar is of the fold
iover lock-front variety, which fits
closely about the neck, entirely con-
cealing the collar button in the back.

issued few days ago, is very favor

but unless there are unusual setbacks,
a big crop will be harvested, aud the
present outlook is distinctly enoourag-
ing. 1t only needs good crops and fair
prices again this year to silence the
Wall street and railroad pessimists,
and make the panic of last fall "look
like 30 cents. F"
The government report, as published
some days ago in The Journal. shows
that the average condition of the win
ter wheat crop on April land moth
ing has occurred since TO change it
materially--was 91.S per cent. There
have been only five seasons since esti-
mates have been made in which the
April condition of winter wheat was
above 90. and only once, in 1908. did
the harvest fail to realize The April es-
innate. Large crops have always Eeen
gathered when the April condition
was above average. and the average for
this month is S6.2. 1t is the winter
season that does the most damage to
winter wheat; that season over. it is
pretty safe to yield according to the
spring estimate.
Ihe average in April last year was

89.1, and the yield was 484, 900. 900
bushels o: an acreage of 81, 1,665,000.
The acreage this year is only 30,069.-
900, but The present condition indi-
Gates as large if not larger crop than
last year, which was above the average
in the winter wheat belt. Besides, it
is probah bile that the aoi cage of spring
wheat will have considerably in
creased. In the Pacific northwest the
area of fall.sown wheat. owing to the
fine weather, is greater than ever be-
fore, and the present condition is ex-
cellent.
Everything good helps everybody.
If the winter wheat-growers raise an
unusually good crop. and sell it at a
good price they will help every hody to
prosper-and so all along the line.

II referendum vote of the republi-
can voters of the county could be taken
on the question of repeating the tariff
tax on wood pulp and print paper, is
it not certain that but few would op-
pose it? Yet Speaker Cannon refuses
to allow the bill to be reported from
the ways and means committee. A
majority of this committee, under
pretext of not interfering with the
tariff, is the barrier in the way Of
needed relief. This reply is but an
exhibition of arrogance on the part of
the majority" members of ways and
means committee-the democratic
members not having been consulted
for who is silly enough to believe that
a simple bill putting print paper and
wood pulp on the free list would dis
turb the business of the country or add
to "the uncertainty and disquiet always
caused by presidential election" If
Mr.. Payne and the other republicans
had stated that it would disturb the
business of the paper combine and
probably prevent liberal contribution
to the republican campaign fund, they
would have come nearer to the truth.
This free paper and pulp bill is one of
those recommended by President
Roosevelt, which the democrats are
now trying to force the republicans to
consider, and is but sample of other
bills that the republican majority of
congress refuse to consider.

tone of the Pendleton newspapers.
Apparently truce has been declared

county seat. Editorial space is being
devoted to showing up the advantages
of publicity of Pendleton's resources
with the object of forcing rusty prop
eIty owners to bear share in the bur
den of putting new life into the me-
tropolis of Eastern Oregon. In the
limelight, fiiokering from the two
editorial sanctums, condition of
progress is pictured which to say the
least, is not alluling. However, with
the aid of both papers working in un-
ison for better Pendleton resurrection
will ultimately result and the
town will come to its just reward.
