Hon. O. NJ. Grisham, supervisor
of census for the Sixth Census
District, has returned from a trip
over his district, where he has been
making the acquaintance OF ap
plicants for census enumerators,
preparatory to making final recon.

understood that he has made rec
concentrations practically for the
entire district, city Of Shreveport
excepted. Recommended atoms will
be made for Shreveport within a

was big Filipino, who necessarily

family.

A BETTER TONE.

As the Spring opens and the
warm weather causes nature to
shake OFF the letters of the long
hard winter, a better and more
optimistic feeling pervades the
community. The farmers III the
parish are busy getting in their
crops, and q much larger area will
be planted, of food crops especially,
potatoes, corn and peanuts having
the preference. Cotton has been
practically abandoned for two
years on account Of the boil weeyil,
but many farmers are going to
plant small areas with special early
maturing. seed aud hope to reinstate
tie cultivation Of the feecy staple
on 4 larger scale than heretofore.
This, though, will depend upon the
results Of this years crop.
Winfield is recovering slowly
but. healthily from the results of
Che panic md better business is
looked for Several industries are
under way aud III consideration.
Choicest among them are the new
creosote plant and the stone guar ar.
The former is putting in q
new saw mill, planer and a new
lO0-foot creosote cylinder aud will
manufacture and creosote its own
timber into poles, cross arms, bridge
timbers and piling for export as

is much more important industry
than our people generally realize
and will have an inn ortant bearing

this year. Many who have not
given this industry any attention
are increasing their flocks. The

The ''HOme Crouch"
BY wINNIFRED BLACK.

A Cleveland woman brought suit
for divorce against her husband the
other day because he played solitaire
for work, but he had no time to pay
her the least attention.
'I've seen him spend whole days
playing solitaire" said the Cleveland
woman in court. "and he would snap
at me like dog II 1 tried to speak
one word to him."
l hope she got her divorce.
OF all demons that are hard to bear
It seems to me the dumb demon is the
worst. I'd rather a man would take
an ak and break every window in the
house, set fire to the garage and kick
the cat out into the alley than to see
him come home with what his office
associates would call "a Crouch"
/ know a woman whose husband
has "home grouch''-or at least he
did have.
On the street, at the office, in the
| restaurants, down at the club, who so
gay, so debonair, so good-humored,
so easy-tempered as the man with the
"home grouch?" But the instant that
man set feet on the steps of his own
home his face settled into a positive
ly forbidding scowl, and he would
spend a whole evening sulking because
| he didn't like something there was for
dinner
His wife used to cry about ii at first.
Then she stopped crying and began
| to laugh. She never had a "home
Crouch" so she had a lot of friends
| and the husband soon grew tired of
sulking in the corner when he heard
his wife laughing and singing out on
the porch with a crowd of friendly
neighbors.
The "home crouch" has changed his
tune. And everybody is much hap
pier.
| OF course, no sensible woman ex-
poets a tired man to come home grim
ming from ear to ear. and thinking up
| funny stories for her especial bene-
fit. Men have their moods as well as
women, and a good wife will love her
husband out OF the blues without
saying word to him about It. But
the "home crouch, the man who IL
too cowardly to vent his temper on
another man downtown, and comes
home and vents 1t on his helpless
family, must go.
Let's try the remedy of a good
laugh and some honest and wholesale
letting alone for this variety Of man.

|\OCIETY EVENT>|

The society affair OF the week was
the linen shower given Monday night
by the Misses Bertha Anger and Cen
evieve Clark for Miss Hazel Nolen,
whose engagement to Mr.. Charles
Baxter of Boise, Idaho, was announc-
ed a few weeks ago. The scene of the
shower was the Clark home on the
high school hill and the rooms were
prettily decorated for the occasion.
In the parlor from the center of the
ceiling an inverted japanese parasol
was suspended and the many beauti-
full linen gifts were laid therein. When
the proper time had arrived Miss No
len seated herself beneath the para
sol and by pulling a cord, precipitated
the profusion of presents in her lap.
The young ladies were then ushered
into the dining room where a dainty
supper had been prepared. The room
decorations were entirely in red. Fes-
toens of hearts were draped from the
chandelier to the corners of the table
and streamers of other hearts were
hung fom the walls. The favors
were especially tasteful, each place
card bearing a small photograph Of
the bride-to-be in one corner. Those
who were guests of Misses Anger and
Clark are the Misses Hazel Nolen, Iva
Hill, sydney Sommerville, Mary Shea,
Edna Storie, Mona Johnson, Edna
Zimmerman, Edith Johnson, Norma
Alloway Edna Thompson. Irene Shea,
Gene Holten (Boise), Edna Whistler,
Pauline La Fontaine, Gertrude Camp
bell. Gussie Sawtelle and Gertrude
Jordan.
Miss Nell whittemore who figures
in the following interesting story TAX
en- from the front page Of the Satur-
day Portland Oregonian is well known
in Pendleton, having lived in and near
this city nearly all her life.
Tillamook, Ore, Aug. 4.--Rev D.
NJ. Schrode was routed out Of bed at
o'clock this morning by four Tilla-
nook young persons who wanted to be
married. They were dressed in khaki
suits and came all prepared to start
at once on a honeymoon trip up the
Wilson river. The preacher dressed
and as soon as possible made Miss
Nellie Whittemore Mrs. John Aschin
and Miss Jessie Mason Mrs. Albert
Plank.
Fear of the hilarious send-off prom
ised by their friends and a desire for
an unconventional wedding are said
to be the reasons for their course.
Right after the ceremony the four left
on the stage for the headwaters of
the Wilson river, to be gone three or
four weeks.
Mr.. Aschin is deputy sheriff of Tilla-
nook county. He came to Tillamook
in 1901 and has made his way by hard
work. Mr.. Plank is foreman for the
Alex. McNair Hardware company. He
too. has ruled his own destiny and
from penniless boy is on the road to
success. Both the young women are

stone round a mans neck, and a
handicap in every sense of the word.
The fact that he has made the situa-
ton will not lessen the burden. You
can show your sweetheart every pos
sible attention without becoming a
slave to her whims.
Don't let her order you about as
though you had no dignry nor will of
your own.
1t is a habit that will grow very
quickly. and she won't be able to re-
sist the temptation to display her
power. And power OF that sort Is bad
for a woman.
Respect VIII Be Wanting.
She will not really love you unless
she respects you, and she will not re-
spect you If she feels that she can
order you about like a tame poodle
dog.
You must have a will of your own
If you hope to hold a woman's love.
Any woman would tell you just
what I am telling you, for all women
at some time of their lives have known
men whom they knew they could die
tate to.
l have seen people fairly boil with
indignation over the demands made
by a spoiled girl on the man who
loved her.
And always they have ended by
saying, "Oh. well, If he is such a poor
spirited thing he deserves all he gets
When a girl gets into the habit OF
changing her mind forty times about
thing, ordering a man 10 do this and
do that, to go here and go there, 1t /.
high time the man pulled himself to-
gether and made protest.
Hold her because she loves and re-
spects you, not because she can order
you about.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

When I say don't spoil your
sweetheart" I do not mean that you
should not show her all the love and
tenderness Of which your heart is ca
pable. 1 merely advise you not to act
as though you were a trained dog
ready to fetch and carry at her slight
est whim.
1t not only makes you appear a
poor spirited thing, but it makes her
selfish and exacting.
1t makes people pity you and dis
like her.
Incidentally. it makes the girl her.
self think less of you.
Don't allow your devotion to de-
stroy your dignity and self-respect.
You must remember that If you spoil
her while you are engaged, you will
have to keep it up after you are mar
ried
If you don't there will be tears and
reproaches and accusations of worn
out love, etc.
AS far as you are concerned, it will
probably be a case of ceasing to run
after the car after you have caught
it. You will be happy and content and
still very much in love, but you won't
be quite so keen on the fetch and
carry business.
He Cannot Be a Slave.
The married man cannot be the
slave of his wife and amount to any
thing in the world.
