GREATEST HYPNOTIC POWER.

Drink is the greatest and most
baneful hypnotist on the earth at
present and its influence is more aw-
full than any plague, more devastating
than any war Looking hack from
more than middle life, / can hardly
remember a case of wreck and ruin
that has not been directly or Indirect
ly the result of drink. 1t is terrible
roll call my memory goes through of
good and even brilliant gifts and Of
bright and glorious opportunities
which are dead or worse than dead,
by the great hypnotist.
Against that record l cannot recall
single case Of a man who, free from
the tyranny of drink, has been utter
ly destroyed by misfortune. The
hardest blows Of fate seem powerless
to slay the man whom the great hyp-
notist cannot subdue, and though |
think intemperance is often as much
consequence as a cause, | truly be-
lieve that If drink could be utterly
wiped out of the world tonight hu-

WEEDS \ BLESSING?

The Oregon Daily Journal views
the weed problem in eastern Oregon
farming districts in a new light and
in. discussing this important subject,
ed.torially, says:
There is a possibility, according to
careful observers in that region, that
the growing weed pest in Umatilla
and perhaps some other counties of
the wheat belt will eventually prove
blessing in disguise in forcing the
breaking up of the now increasingly
large wheat farms and the substitu-
ton of diversified farming.
The tumble weed and the tarweed,
or whatever they are, have become a
serious pest in some sections, much
reducing the big wheat raisers' crops
and profits, and the larger the wheat
farms are the more difficult it is to
get rid of the weeds.
Land on which a crop is grown
every other year, lying fallow every
second year is sure to become foul
with weeds. 1t would seem possible to
eradicate them, but 1t appears that in
many cases this Is not done, and un-
less all the farmers will cooperate to
do so, 1t is discouraging work for
some of them.
So, a man who has lived a good
while up there tells the Journal, 1t is
likely that unless concerted and sys-
tematic efforts are put forth through
out that region to eradicate these
weeds. the big wheat raisers will give
up trying to farm hundreds of acres
and will divide up their farms for
the purpose of raising a variety of
crops, cultivating the soil every year.
II this should gradually happen 1t
would no doubt be a good thing for
the country. In some sections small
farming might not be practicable
but in many other localities good
crops could be raised every year, and
a family could do we'll on a small
farm.

THE POULTRY. YARD.

The rooster is half the flock.
Keep the eggs in a cool cellar
Keep on fighting the army of lice.
Disinfect the premises once a week.
The prices are good for roasting
fowls.
Separate the growing cockerels
from the pullets.
1t will pay to clean up the drop
pings each morning,
Never leave dead fowl lie around
the buildings.
Filthy houses are doubly danger
Gus during hot weather.
The price for dressed ducks is not
so high as last month.
The most stylish hens as rule are
not the stylish ones.
This is a good time to dispose of the
old stock that is not needed.
During hot weather special care
should be taken not to overfeed nor
overcrowd.
To keep them growing, the cocker
els need a little more feed than do
the pullets.
II isn't good for hens to roost in
a draft. Locate the windows a little
way from the roosts.
When the clouds look threatening,
it is time to look after the little tur-
keys that are running with the hens.
Oats are just as good feed as you
need for turkeys, but feed thin your
self, and don't let the turks wallow
through the oat-fields.
If there is ever a time for lazy folks
to hatch chicks it is now, when the
weather is favorable and Nature pro-
vides so abundantly for them.
Lice like to hide away under the
ends of the roosts. Every time you
spray, lift the roosts and give the
pests a dose that will drive them out
for good and all.
Fine wire netting about the yard
of the little chicks will keep out rats
unless they dig under. IL they do that
better put a cement floor underneath
Partly decayed meat is little bet
ter than a dose of arsenic for hens. 1t
is surely not fit for them TO eat Lin
berneck is now believed to be caused
by that kind of poison.
You can not blame a hungry cat for
destroying birds at nesting time and
picking up young chicken once in
a while. Feed the cats well, and they 7
will not be apt to form these bad
habits.
In setting hen late in the season
when the weather is warm, it is we'll
either TO make the nest on the ground /
or to put sod in the bottom of it, ,
so that there may be some degree of
and moisture.
The best way is to shut up all fowls
for "a hours before killing and give
them neither bite nor sup" They !
will then be quite empty and will kill
and truss up in very much firmer
and sweeter condition than II shipped !
with decaying foods and evil-smOlling !

Michigan's white pine forests a few
years ago, and yet the cut for 1907

"HABITUAL" CRIMINALS.

New South Wales has novel sys-
tenn of dealing with habitual crimi-
nails. A man is sentenced to term
for his particular offense and to an
indeterminate term because he is an
"habitual." When he has served the
definite term, IL he is well behaved,
he can rise from grade to grade, each
step being accompanied by various
concessions. .
One feature is that he may earn
wages. which may be sent to his fam
lily, spent on ~luxuries or credited to
him for the day of release. A COM
mittee examines his progress from
time to time, advising the minister
when he may be released. No re-
lease is absolute till after a years
probation under modified restraint

BUILD CHURCH WITH POULTRY

As a means Of raising funds for the
erection OF a new church building the
members OF a Congregational church
in a California town are going to raise
chickens.
The fowls will be distributed among
the Sunday school children, each
member receiving a hen before the 1st
of August, and 1t is estimated that the
hens will be laying about the time
eggs become high in price and the
eggs will be taken to the church and
sold by a committee appointed for
that purpose, 1t is expected that
about $500 will be raised in this man.

Prizes will be offered for the child
who brings in the most eggs. and so
far It is expected that twelve dozen
hens will be distributed. It might be
added that the pastor sees good times
ahead for himself.

WORK FOR THE BREWERY.

Pendleton's big brewing plant
should not stand idle for six weeks
on account OF prohibition. Even the
making OF the so-oalled "near-beer''
should not be considered for this is
precarious enterprise and will
crowd the prohibition law so closely
that its manufacture and distribu-
tion will be 4 constant source OF trou-
ble to the owners
The plant hould be rearranged to
manufacture denatured alcohol and
Pendleton should become the first
city in eastern oregon to begin the
distribution of this new and highly
valuable commercial commodity.
The Weston mountain potato dis
trict will furnish all the cheap raw
material needed and denatured alco-
hol is becoming one of the leading
light, fuel and power commodities
and an excellent market for a large
output can be found in the inland
empire.
This alcohol enters in some form
into almost everything used in every
day life. The British government has
just compiled the following list of
articles in which denatured alcohol is
used:

IN MOVING TIME.

The sun climbs over the eastern hill;
The song-birds greet 1t with Hitting
trill;
The restless cattle begin to stir,
And wings of roosters to flap and
whirr.
The farmer hears all these signs that
tell
It's time to rise, and he needs no bell
And Mrs. Farmer-she hearS them
too;
Her breakfast calls and there's work
to do.
Ripe grass is waiting the Fishing
blade
On sunny hillside, in quiet glade;
The blade that must see the sunset
glow
Lay all the wealth of its greenness
low.
SO back and forth as the sun mounts
high,
Across the fields do the mowers ply;
And back and forth till the west
grows red
And the weary farmer seeks his bed
To dream of the meadows wet with
dew,
O'ereached by a sky OF matchless
blue,
Where, weather permitting, another
day
VIII find him tossing his rip'ning
hay.

Is IT \ GRAFT?

The East Oregonian has seriously
doubted the justice of the order from
the insurance underwriters associa.
ton, compelling about 80 per cent o.
the business houses of Pendleton to bt
rewired, when some of the largest
and best buildings in the city have
been refitted and rewired for electric
fixtures within the past few years.
An interview in the Oregon Daily
Journal from B. E. Josselyn, presi-
Of the Portland Railway. Light and
Power company, confirms the East
Oregonian that its first impression OF
The unjust order was correct.
The same insurance underwriters
association has ordered a change
from the direct to the alternating cur
rent in Portland and if this order
takes effect it will force about 500
good motors out of commission, caus-
ing an expenditure of about $1,000
500 for new motors and fixtures,
when every expert in the country, ex-
cept the insurance people admit that
Portland's lighting and power facili-
hes and methods are unsurpassed on
the coast.
The underwriters association has
threatened a heavy advance in insur-
ance rates if its orders are not COM
piled with in Pendleton and Portland
and so people viii either have to be
grated for rewriting and refitting
their buildings at the orders Of the
insurance association or they will be
more heavily grated by an unjust
and unnecessary advance in rates.
Mr.. Josselyn recommends that busi-
ness men discard the old insurance
companies which are in a combina-
ton and form local association Of
their own to meet insurance losses
He hints at a rank graft in the order
to replace the current and install over
800 new motors in Portland and If it
is graft in Portland it is graft in PEN
dleton.
1t will cost over $4,000 to rewre
and refit Pendleton buildings to
comply with the requirements OF the
underwriters association, while ar
chitects and electricians admit that
Pendleton IS well equipped and that
no hcanges are needed except In few
isolated cases.
In Portland it is current talk that
the big electrical supply houses and
the underwriters association are in
combination. to force people either to
rewire at great expense, thus creating
a heavy demand for electrical sup
plies or else submit to an advance in
insurance rates
Business men are thus brought face
to face with one Of the meanest and
most despicable feature Of the mod
ern commercial world-the criminal
combination by which graft is fatten-
ed and kept alive.
Such combinations should force
business men TO form mutual socie-
ties for their own protection. They
can insure themselves as cheaply as
the Insurance trust can insure them.
No business man objects TO comply
ing with just law or city ordinance,
and none object TO making improve
ments where they are necessary but
they do object to sweeping orders like
Ihis rewlring order falling equally
